21、American gymnast Simone Biles flies through the air as though she was made for it. She has won more World Championship gold medals than any other female gymnast in history. She is also the first woman gymnast to win three consecutive World all-around titles.
Biles trains 35 hours a week. During training she often comes up with new moves, some of which she uses in competitions. A complicated flip she introduced in the 2013 World Championships is one of four skills that are named after her.
For audiences, seeing Biles effortlessly perform makes it easy to forget how difficult gymnastics is. Athletes are under an intense amount of pressure, and a small mistake can result in serious injury. At the Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo, Biles experienced something gymnasts call “the twisties”, which is when a gymnast loses track of where their body is in the air. Instead of putting herself and her team at risk, Biles withdrew from the competition.
Biles rose to athletic glory from humble beginnings. She spent some time in foster care before she and her younger sister, Adria, were adopted as very young children by their grandfather Ron and his wife Nellie. Biles was introduced to gymnastics at the age of 6 on a school field trip to a gym. She saw some gymnasts practicing, began mimicking their moves and asserted herself by insisting that her parents send her for gymnastics lessons. A coach at the gym also recognized her talent and sent a letter home asking her parents to send her for lessons.
Throughout her career, Biles has kept her passion for the sport, which is evident in the huge smile she often wears while competing. But she also wants people to know the importance of putting mental health first and not ignoring how stress can be harmful to it.
In Biles’ 2016 memoir, titled Courage to Soar, the book tells in her words “how my faith and my family made my wildest dreams come true. And how embracing a dream can give you courage to soar.” Biles’ courage, especially her willingness to assert herself in the face of intense public pressure, continues to be an inspiration for everyone.

A．To introduce American gymnast Simone Biles.
B．To analyze the potential risks in gymnastic competitions.
C．To describe the significance of dreams for gymnasts.
D．To stress Simone Biles’ efforts in her success.
【2】What kind of person do you think Biles is?
A．Persistent and stubborn.

22、 People like to post their selfies(自拍照) on social media. To know more about it, scientists at Syracuse University in New York recently did a research and came up with some surprising findings.
People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behavior connected to narcissism(自恋), the researchers said. Makana Chock, a professor from Syracuse University, said because social media is mostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives, it is a good place for people to “work towards satisfying their own vanity.” Those “likes” under their Facebook selfies make them feel good.
Besides, people who post group selfies show a need for popularity and a need to belong to a group, the research found. Some people feel “peer(同伴) pressure” to post selfies and some follow the popular belief that if there is no picture of an event or experience, it did not really happen. “Anyway, it shouldn’t be seen as negative. People get sense of satisfaction especially when they get likes. And it does no harm,” Chock said.
Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing software. But men who post selfies showed more of a need to be seen as popular than women who posted selfies.
Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips and special events, our parents and grandparents used cameras instead of phones to take photos. They would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. You probably commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. They were happy to hear your comments. That was the old way of “clicking like”. On social media, however, people can decide not to look at photos --- even if they click “like”.
【1】What is the research mainly about?
A. The ways of making people look better in selfies.
B. The reasons for people posting selfies on social media.
C. The differences between men and women in posting selfies.
D. The connections between posting selfies and mental health.
【2】What does the word “vanity” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. A deep desire to know about something. B. A special need to be more popular.
C. Too much pride in one’s own appearance. D. Strong determination to improve oneself.
【3】What is Chock’s attitude towards selfie posting?
A. Ambiguous. B. Cautious. C. Disapproving. D. Supportive.
【4】From the last paragraph, we know that the older generations showed their photos to friends and family ______.
A. to win praise from viewers B. to show off their cameras
C. to improve relationships D. to share good moments
23、Thompson’s Children
As her son Cameron sits at his laptop completing a task for his math degree course. Alison Thompson, a full-time mum is busy helping her daughter Emma (two years younger than Cameron) get dressed. While help has always been available for Emma, Alison and her husband also have to fight to get Cameron the support he needs."People could see that Emma has special needs but because Cameron was doing so well at school, his teachers never thought there was a problem with him, “says Alison.
It took Alison and her husband a while to realize their son was different. Cameron's ability didn’t become clear until he began primary school. Once he even corrected the teacher when she told the class that zero was the lowest number. Cameron told her she was wrong because there were negative numbers(负数). He was four at the time. Now 14-year-old Cameron is at secondary school, studying for a distance learning math degree with the Open University, having sailed through his GCSE at 11 and his A-level at 12, achieving top grades.
Bethany, another daughter of Alison, is bright too but not gifted. She is the one who will remind absent-minded Cameron to put on his coat. She also helps him out in social situations.
Emma attends a specialist school and the family is quick to celebrate her successes too.
“The other day she did up the buttons on her coat, which was real progress,” Alison says.
Late last year the Thompsons took part in a television documentary(纪录片) to prove that not all gifted children are the result of extremely ambitious parents. Gifted children need support too, but their lives don't have to be that different. Cameron is an example

24、
We’ve all been there. You’re around new people and you just want to impress them. It can be easy to pretend you know about movies, politics, or science just to get through an awkward situation. But contrary to what feels most natural, a new series of five studies from Pepperdine University shows that those who can admit when they don’t know something tend to actually have more knowledge. If you want to make those people think you’re smart, maybe the best thing to say is “I don’t know.”
For the study, which was led by Elizabeth Krumrei-Mancuso, the team of researchers had one question: Is there a knowledge benefit to admitting intellectual fallibility? To find out, they ran not one, not two, but five separate experiments. They engaged nearly 1,200 participants in their study, and evaluated them using a number of questionnaires testing their cognitive abilities, measuring their own predictions of their cognitive abilities, and, of course, rating their levels of intellectual humility.
For that last part, they used different methods in different studies to get a more well﹣rounded set of results. One IH survey used eight questions to assess participants on two elements: the “Knowing﹣It﹣All” subscale, which judged their attitudes of intellectual superiority, and the “Intellectual Openness” subscale, which assessed how open they were to learning from others. In other studies, they used the 22-question “Comprehensive Intellectual Humility Scale,” which assesses participants on four elements: independence of intellect and ego, openness to revising one’s viewpoint, respect for others’ viewpoints, and lack of intellectual overconfidence. The five studies were used to examine past learning, thinking styles, traits, and motivations.
What the researchers may agree is that the best thing to remember is that curiosity seems to be a good thing. The world is big, and it’s impossible to know everything. At your next dinner party, ask questions and admit your own cluelessness. It might make you a little less clueless next time.
【1】Why did Elizabeth Krumrei-Mancuso led the study？
A.to find out whether admitting that you don’t know something is beneficial.
B.to find the certain benefit of admitting intellectual disability.
C.to compare the modest people with proud people.
D.to stress the importance of curiosity.
【2】From the article, we can learn that .
A.we all tend to pretend we have a good command of knowledge.
B.the study engaged over 1,200 participants in their study.
C.”I don’t know” may be a good answer to people who ask you if you are clever.
D.a number of questionnaires are used to test participants’ cognitive humility.
【3】What is the best title of the article？
A.Be yourself! B.Admitting your fallibility!
C.Express your drawbacks! D.Let curiosity lead you!
