21、For as long as I can remember, my body and I have shared a relationship of discontent. Growing up, I was skinnier than the other kids and at five I was told I wasn't attractive and that I must put on some weight. But no matter how much I ate, I stayed thin for years until adolescence. Then I started putting on weight almost immediately. I remember feeling happy as I began to fill out. However, my joy didn't last long.

I was thirteen when I was first called fat. Friends and neighbours would make jokes on my big size. As I entered my late teens, I had completely lost confidence in my body and, subsequently, in myself. Having failed to live up to conventional beauty standards, I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved, I needed to offer more, doing anything to please everyone around.

I entered adulthood thinking I wasn't “enough”—an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight—self­improvement, discipline—all virtues. Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined. Consumed by thoughts of the way my body looked, I didn't notice the other ways my body needed attention. I failed to realize, for example, that my period was much heavier and more painful than ever before. Actually I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries.

I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life; I have learnt this is not true. After a lot of self­reflection and some professional help, I realized I never learnt to like myself. While two decades of self­hatred cannot be undone overnight, I have taken first steps to acceptance.

I am now much lighter than before, in body and mind. There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long. As long as I like myself, just the way I am, opinions at the end of the day are just water off a duck's back.

22、   Concentration is important for students. 【1】. With roommates or family, incoming messages, the internet and a million others, it’s easy to lose focus. Use these tips to make a personal study place perfect for concentration.

Create your quiet space

Muting (静音) your phone and not getting distracted (分散注意力) by the internet are the most important ways. 【2】. For internet distractions, consider downloading an app that can block access to the internet and keep you on track and away from social media.

【3】

Another easy way to get distracted from your study plan is realizing you need something that you forgot outside your study space. If you’re doing work on a laptop, make sure to bring your charger because a failing battery may force you to stop studying before you’ve finished. Be sure to have all of the pens, highlighters and books you will need available.【4】.

Find the right atmosphere

【5】. Students with worksheets, equations (方程式) and practice problems would probably do better with a desk or a large table so that they can spread out and access all of their materials at the same time. Students with lots of their reading may be more comfortable on a sofa or chair where they can settle in and get comfortable while they study. Make sure the environment is best for you.

A．Bring the essentials

B．Keep things organized

C．Locate the study space that interests you

D．Not everyone has the same study style or assignments

E．Getting into the right mindset for serious studying can be difficult

F．Turn your phone on airplane mode so that texts and calls can’t distract you

23、   Visitors to Henn-na, a restaurant outside Nagasaki, Japan, are greeted by an unusual sight: their food being prepared by a row of humanoid robots. The “head chef”, named Andrew, is using his two long arms; he stirs batter (面糊) in a metal bowl, then pours it onto a hot grill. In a nearby hotel, robots check guests into their rooms and help with their luggage.

CEO Hideo Sawada, who runs the restaurant and the hotel, predicts that 70% of the jobs at Japan’s hotels will be automated (自动化) in the next five years. He said, “Since you can work them 24 hours a day, and they don’t need vacation, eventually it’s more cost-efficient to use the robot.”

This is seemingly worrying. In fact, in America, automation helps the food-service and accommodation sector continue to grow. In the company Panera, because of its new kiosks, an app that allows online ordering, the chain is now processing more orders overall, which means it needs more total workers to meet consumer demand. Starbucks customers who use the chain’s app return more frequently than those who don’t, the company has said, and the greater efficiency that online ordering allows has boosted sales at busy stores during peak hours. Starbucks employed 8% more people in the U.S. in 2016 than it did in 2015, the year it launched the app.

Of course, whether automation is a net benefit for workers in restaurants and hotels, and not just a competitive advantage for one chain over another will depend on whether an improved customer experience makes Americans more likely to dine out and stay at hotels, rather than brown-bagging it or finding an Airbnb to book unique homes.

【1】Why does the writer describe the unusual sight in Paragraph 1?

A.To promote robots. B.To introduce the topic.

C.To voice his opinion. D.To show the background.

【2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.Automation may be a challenge to human jobs.

B.Automation may increase business costs.

C.Workers may fail to focus on their tasks.

D.Many companies may fail to survive.

【3】What can we learn from the two cases in Paragraph 3?

A.The two companies are trying to take over the market competitively.

B.Automation could open up more job chances for humans.

C.Starbucks employed more people than Panera did in 2016.

D.Automation helps the shops become famous online.

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the future of automation?

A.Critical. B.Negative. C.Objective. D.Indifferent.

24、   Scientists in the U.S. have created an artificial sunflower less than 0. 04 inches wide that can bend towards a light source and harvest solar energy. The flowers were found to be about 400 percent more efficient than other equipment, making them promising technology for solar power potentially even as a power source for solar-based spaceships.

The team, led by researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles, was looking to improve. the efficiency of solar cells by modeling after a feature of nature-phototropism. This is where a plant adjusts itself to face the sun, getting the most amount of energy it can get. In a study published in Nature Nanotechnology, the team said it was a 'big challenge'.

However, this problem has now been overcome. The team has developed a polymer(聚合物) that is responsive to being simulated by light, The system, which they have named SunBOT for short, is able to instantly explore and track a light source. It can do this across a range of temperatures without power supply or any human intervention.

The researchers used the polymer to create a 'stem'. Then they placed a material commonly used in solar cells on its top, representing the 'flower'. When the team shone a light at the SunBOTs, the polymer began heating up and shrinking, causing the stem to bend so the flower faced the light.

The researchers tested their artificial sunflowers to see how efficient they were at harvesting solar energy Findings showed they were up to 400 percent more effective than non-phototrophic materials.

The practical applications of SunBOTs are some way off. The study shows a proof of concept, but the technology will need to be scaled up to be used commercially. However, the team is confident it could one day be used a across a broad range of industries.

This work may be useful for solar harvesters signal revere smart windows, self-contained robotics solar sails for spaceships and intelligent energy generation (for example, solar cells and biofuels), the scientific team said.

【1】Why do the scientists create the artificial sunflower?

A.To prevent pollution. B.To protect sunflowers.

C.To reuse green energy. D.To warn us of the energy crisis.

【2】What can we learn about SunBOTs?

A.SunBOTs are likely to be too limited in future use.

B.There is some time before SunBOTs are put into markets.

C.Scientists are still not sure of the function of SunBOTs.

D.SunBOTts are not efficient, though advanced, in collecting energy.

【3】Where can we read such a text?

A.In an education report. B.In a market report.

C.In an experiment report. D.In a science report.
