21、Like many people, in terms of socializing, I prioritize making time for my closest friends and family. When it comes to reaching out to people I don’t know as well I often find myself reluctant to engage. This could be a big mistake, though, according to a new study. Having different types of social interactions seems to be central to our happiness — something many of us may think little of.
In a series of surveys, researchers looked at how having a socially diverse network related to people’s well-being. In one survey, 578 Americans reported on what activities they had been engaged in, with whom and for how long over the past 24 hours, while also saying how happy with life they were. The researchers found that people with more diverse social networks were happier and more satisfied with life than those with less diverse networks — regardless of how much time they had spent socializing overall.
“The more you can broaden your social circle and reach out to people you talk to less frequently — like an acquaintance, a friend, a coworker, or even a stranger — the more it could have positive benefits for your well-being,” said the lead researcher Hanne Collins of Harvard Business School.
To further test this idea, she and her colleagues looked at large data sets from the American Time Use Survey and the World Health Organization’s Study on Global Aging and Adult Health. In both cases, they found that when people had a broader range of social interactions, they experienced greater happiness and well-being.
Then Collins and her colleagues did another analysis, using data from a mobile app that 21,644 French-speaking people used to report on their daily social activities and happiness. There, they found that when someone experienced greater-than-average social diversity one week, they were happier that week and the week after.
Why is that? It could be that being with different people contributes to different kinds of emotions, which may be a driving force in our happiness, says Collins. Alternatively, it could be that having a more diverse network allows you to get various social supports when you need it. Whatever the case, Collins hopes her research will inspire people to expand their social networks when they can.

22、Thanks to YouTube, Streaming first caught on in 2005. Today nearly three quarters of American households subscribe to at least one video streaming service. With almost 200 million subscribers worldwide and a billion hours of content viewed each week, Netflix is by far the biggest paid service. No. 2 is Amazon Prime Video. But for every Goliath, there are a hundred Davids. Many smaller streaming services show nothing but sports, classic movies, or Japanese anime.
In the early days of streaming the appeal was the lower cost, and it still is. The average streamer spends $37 a month and subscribes to three streaming platforms, while the average cable ser pays more than $200 per month. Still streaming has become more expensive in recent years. In 2019, Netflix raised the price of its basic service 12. 5 percent to $8.99 a month. A quarter of its subscribers, who protested price increases, said they would cancel their subscriptions. Few did.
A major reason: streaming networks have become home to many of the most popular TV series, including recent Emmy winners. They offer full-length feature films as well, and last year, Netflix received more Oscar nominations than any other media company. In fact, streaming has changed the Oscar competition, at least for this year. Usually only films shown in theaters are considered, but because of the coronavirus, all movies released online in 2020 are qualified for the 2021 Oscar Academy Awards. That shift is especially good news for Disney, which is putting the much anticipated movie Mulan on a new streaming service, Amazon Prime Video. But watching Mulan from your own home will cost $29.99 — on top of the service’s monthly fee of $6.99.
Too much streaming can have its disadvantages, however. There are those who binge-watch, a term Merriam-Webster added in 2017 with the definition “to watch many or all episodes of a TV series on end.” Alejandro Fragoso from New York holds the Guinness World Record: 94 straight hours.
【1】What do the underlined words “Goliath” and “David” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A．TV viewers.
B．TV programs.
C．Streaming services.
D．Streaming subscribers.
【2】Why did most Netflix subscribers continue their subscriptions?
A．They cannot go without it.
B．They think it is good value for money.
C．Netflix has controlled the market.
D．They think the low cost is a thing of the past.
【3】What does the good news in Paragraph 3 mean to Disney?
A．The movie Mulan will win an Oscar award.
B．The movie Mulan will generate great profits.
C．The movie Mulan can be released on Amazon Prime Video.
D．The movie Mulan can compete for an Oscar.
【4】What do binge-watchers tend to do?
A．They watch TV series continuously.
B．They start a new life.
C．They break world records.
D．They watch TV series aimlessly
23、 Around the world coronavirus outbreak has messed up children's education. They began to be shut out of classrooms all the way back in February in 2020. Even in countries where schools have stayed open, lessons and tests have been disrupted. Some countries pressed ahead with national exams this year. A few others, including Britain, France and Ireland, cancelled them all. They came up with new ways of awarding grades instead. The fact that big exams have proved so vulnerable to disruption has led to new questions about their usefulness. Are there better ways of measuring what children have learned?
Exams have plenty of problems. They are often unreliable; a study in Israel found that test-takers' performance can be affected by smog. Many children find them stressful. Plenty of places run them badly. School-leavers in some countries are often set nonsense questions that require students to answer. Countries，including Algeria and Ethiopia , make efforts to shut down the internet at exam time to prevent potential cheating. Grades in American high schools are inflating fast， in part because pushy middle-class parents insist their little darlings deserve better.
Cancelling exams does not always reduce pupils' anxiety. In many countries the prospect 一and pressure一of exams probably helped get pupils back into classrooms after lockdowns came to an end. Those facing important tests were generally invited back to school first. Their return helped give teachers and parents confidence that other. pupils could safely join them. Kenya ended up letting exam-takers return to school in October, even though it had previously announced that it was cancelling all classes until the end of 2020. Some countries that called off exams this year are still deciding whether and how to hold them in 2021.
Governments may need to adjust next year's tests, as many did this year. That could mean cutting the amount of material to be tested. Exam boards may also have to boost the grades of pupils who have spent the most time out of the classroom. But the most important exams should go ahead in some form.
Many pupils have studied ferociously throughout this difficult year. They should have the chance to earn the grades they deserve.
【1】In the Israeli study，what results in exam's unreliability?
A．Some countries shut down internet at exam time.
B．Exams' grades can be affected by children's temper.
C．Questions in exams measure what has been learned.
D．Teachers may give unreal grades to meet special needs.
【2】What can we know about the pressure of exams?
A．It always makes students anxious in exams.
B．It is relieved when exams are cancelled.
C．It gives teachers confidence to return school safely.
D．It helps students get back on track after quarantines.
【3】According to the last paragraph, what governments need to do next year?
A．Change the testing materials.
B．Cancel the most important exams.
C．Raise the grades of student who kept studying.
D．Reschedule the exams which are cancelled this year.
【4】What can be the best title for the passage?
A．Education and Examinations
B．Covid-19 and School Exams
C．Ways Better than Examinations
D．How to Pass Examinations
24、Faced with setbacks large and small, you feel like your life is always taking a turn for the worse. You aren’t superstitious(迷信), but you begin to wonder—【1】 Why does it seem like you can never catch a break?
What is luck?
【2】 First, we often use the term luck as synonymous with “chance”; we may call it lucky to win at a slot machine(老虎机), although it’s actually a random event. Another way to frame luck is as a supernatural force that exists in the universe. Third, it can be thought of as a personal feature: It’s just something that you’re born with.
On the other hand, considering yourself lucky or unlucky is a way of seeing yourself which then has impact on how you behave and how you think and becomes a self-fulfilling prediction. 【3】 And it has “existed” for ages, even with our amount of science and technology, it’s something deep within us that realizes our lives are ruled by chance, and we’re trying to do something to get control over that. When people feel less in control of their lives, then people often search for supernatural explanations.
How to think about luck?
The first thing to understand is that a person’s position in society contributes to their concept of luck. For example, The circumstances you’re born into, the society you’re born into, the genetic makeup you’re handed. 【4】 Aside from these limits, however, there are steps you can take to improve your luck.
After studying people who consider themselves lucky or unlucky, experts have found that the “lucky” ones maximize chance opportunities and dare to follow their intuition to grasp those moments. If you are relaxed and happy, your world view becomes bigger and you see more opportunities. 【5】
A．People define luck in three ways.
B．So, in a sense, it absolutely does exist.
C．Could you just be an unlucky person?
D．Are you the luckiest person in the world?
E．All these things are outside of your control.
F．Good things happen to you because of your own efforts or abilities.
G．If you’re a flexible person, you’ll make the most of those opportunities.

Of course there is really nothing wrong with that, but it can make a lot of people feel or _____________ that their own lives are full of challenges and various problems, ______________ self-pity and depression.
The ______________ is that nobody’s life is perfect. Just looking from the outside, you might be ______________ thinking that other people are doing much better than you. If you look on a deeper __________, you will see that the surface view can be very ____________ . That is because most of us don’t show our problems but prefer to show our ____________.
So, don’t admire other people’s near perfect sides any more. No matter how ______________ their lives look from the outside, they have their problems and ______________ too.
