21、 Rushing to work, watching the stock (股票) market drop daily working long into the night on a project, all of these situations can build up stress. Stress in such situations means pressure, conflict, loss of control, and uncertainty. These feelings can lead to a variety of problems. 【1】
What is stress? Stress is your body's physical and psychological response to anything you regard as overpowering. This may be viewed as a result of life's demands, and your lack of resources to meet them. 【2】 This additional energy cannot be destroyed. If not used, it creates an imbalance within your system. Somehow the energy must be channeled into responses to regain a balance.
【3】 Without some stress you would lose your energy for living. You will do well on certain amounts; but too much or too little stress will limit your effectiveness. Ideally, you find your best level of stress---the balance at which you are most motivated.
【4】 It can make you spend your efforts on not being unhappy, rather than on being happy. You can become negatively influenced in your attitudes and feelings about your life more easily.
In addition, medical research estimates as much as 90 percent of illness and disease is Stress-related. 【5】 High blood pressure and heart disease have been linked to stress factors. Most health professionals agree stress can be a contributing factor in making existing medical problems worse.
A．These different attitudes influence a person's reaction to stressful situations.
B．That is why stress such an ugly ring.
C．Stress is a natural part of your life.
D．In each person's life there are uncertainties.
E．When stressed, your body creates extra energy to protect itself.
F．Stress can have a bad effect on your physical functioning and bodily processes.
G．Too much stress influences your daily life.

23、Once the red wolf’s historic range stretched from Long Island to Missouri and down to the Texas-Mexico border. But by 1972 their population was reduced to a small area along the Gulf coast due to habitat loss and hunting.
To conserve the species, 14 individuals were caught as part of a reproducing program. In 1980 their wild relatives were declared extinct — the caught wolves were all that was left and thus lots of genetic variation was lost. You can’t help it when you have so few founders.
Kristin Brzeski is an assistant professor at Michigan Technological University, whose research focuses on the conservation of genetics of wild animal populations. He thought this work had been an underdog scientifically and for conservation, for all wolves decreased in amount dramatically, especially the red wolves. Now, Brzeski and her co-workers have found a surprising new pool of red wolf genes that might help bring more diversity to the tiny population: they found the disappearing genes of red wolves in wild coyote populations. But why did this happen?
Remember: when a population is dying out, it might find the closest related species as their own best mate, so a red wolf and a coyote can have offspring. As a result, people can rediscover their genes in their coyote hybrid offspring. As red wolves are released back into the wild, reproducing with these coyotes could help the critically endangered species regain some of its genetic diversity.
This would be kind of the opposite direction: take the existing small population that still has red wolf genes that are so critical, and put them into a wild landscape with new genetic variation that they haven’t seen for 50 years or more. And all of a sudden, hopefully, this is like a super mix of genetic health and sort of a rebound that these animals can be wild and be themselves again.
The next step will include how to release red wolves in a way that takes advantage of the genes red wolves hiding in coyote populations. There should be a philosophy in our mind that we created this problem, so we should be responsible for fixing it.
【1】Why was much genetic variation of the red wolves lost?
A．Their habitat loss.
B．Their limited number.
C．Their relatives’ extinction.
D．Their poor adaptability.
【2】What does the underlined word “underdog” in Para.3 mean?
A．Failure.
B．Success.
C．Breakthrough.
D．Dilemma.
【3】What is Brzeski’s attitude to releasing red wolves into the wild?
A．Disappointed.
B．Favorable.
C．Pessimistic.
D．Cautious.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A．A promising way to save red wolves
B．Red wolves — an endangered species
C．Wild coyotes — red wolves’ perfect match
D．An unknown future to protect red wolves
24、A British woman, Dr. Mantri, growing up in India started to notice his son, Dhruv, was struggling with simple arithmetic when he was in fifth-grade. After noticing this, she started employing an abacus (算盘) to help her son visually comprehend mathematics.
“I would ask him something like 35 minus 13 and he couldn’t do it.” said Dhruv’s mom Dr. Mantri. “I decided to change the way he looked at numbers,” she said. “An abacus is a tried and tested method, and the Egyptians used them for building the pyramid.” In just six days he started to show progress with the abacus and would go on to become a whizz kid with numbers, with even his classmates’ parents reaching out for help.
She never thought she would teach her son using an abacus, which she used as a child in India and it was always helpful. Within six days she started to notice a difference and see results. So dramatic was the turnaround, that school staff asked him to perform with the abacus at an assembly, where some parents even came to ask for advice on using it for their kids.
IT specialist Dr. Mantri said the humble abacus can be used for calculations into the trillions and kids enjoy learning on it because it’s like a game. “It becomes a playing tool for younger children, for it feels like a game. I think the success comes because children can touch and feel an abacus and visualize them.” She added.
By the age of 12, Dhruv was giving online cyber security seminars and is now pursuing a career in data science and analytics. Dhruv has now landed an apprenticeship (实习) at an international firm. During the four-year apprenticeship, he will spend one day a week studying Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at Glasgow Caledonian University. “He is so confident now and I am so proud,” she said, with Dhruv adding “I don’t think my teachers would have guessed that I would be following a career in data science at that time.”
【1】Why did Dhruv have difficulty in learning mathematics?
A．He was faced with language barrier.
B．He didn’t find a proper way.
C．He suffered from eyesight problems.
D．He lacked academic support from the family.
【2】What does the underlined word “whizz” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Careful.
B．Diligent.
C．Outstanding.
D．Struggling.
【3】Why do kids like learning on abacus according to the text?
A．They find it appealing.
B．They can calculate faster.
C．They enjoy playing games.
D．They are eager for success.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Dhruv was addicted to the internet at 12.
B．Dhruv is teaching data science and analytics now.
C．Dhruv is a full-time student at Glasgow Caledonian University.
D．Dhruv’s career choice was beyond his teachers’ expectation.

The roads in my community aren’t paved with asphalt(沥青) either, so during storms they_______ become too muddy or snowy to pass. In cities a snowplow(扫雪机)______ quickly, but areas where fewer people live aren’t the priority(优先), so days can pass before a snowplow______the road. Sometimes I must miss school because storms make it________to drive.
I am not sure________if I want to live in the country or in the city when I grow up. I like being in nature, hearing the creek and the birds, and having a big yard.
