21、 “If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”

That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better.

Your eyes can tell you that glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it.

With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.

You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.

All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy, such as food, clothes and so on. To see something well, we have to touch it.

The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a bad floor. All feel different under your feet.

There are ways of learning to see well by feeling.

One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!

Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch! There you can feel everything on show. If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you’ll really see!”

23、Children's average daily time spent watching television or using mobile device increased from 53 minutes at 12 months old to more than 150 minutes at 3 years old, according to an analysis by researchers at the National Institutes of Health. Children aged 7 were more likely to spend the highest amount of screen time if they had been in bad home-based childcare or were born to first-time mothers.

“Our results indicate that screen habits begin early,” said Edwina Yeung, an investigator in National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), “This finding suggests that interventions to reduce screen time could have a better chance of success if introduced early.”

In the research, mothers of 4,000 children responded to questions on their kids' media habits when they were 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months of age.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends avoiding digital media exposure for children under 18 months of age, introducing children 18 to 24 months of age to screen media slowly, and limiting screen time to an hour a day for children from 2 to 5 years of age. In the current study, researchers found that 87% of the children had screen time exceeding these recommendations. However, while screen time increased throughout infancy, after 8 years of age, screen time fell to under 1. 5 hours per day. The researchers believe this decrease relates to time consumed by school-related activities.

The study authors classified the children into two groups based on how much their aver- age daily screen time increased from age 1 to age 3. The first group, 73% of the total, had the lower increase, from an average of nearly 51 minutes a day to nearly an hour and 47 minutes a day. The second group, 27% of the total, had the higher increase, from nearly 37 minutes of screen time a day to about 4 hours a day. Higher levels of parental education were associated with the lower odds of inclusion in the second group.

【1】Which of the following is a reason for children's addiction to the media?

A．Low economic level.

B．Poor family education

C．The media's attraction.

D．The shortage of parents' love.

【2】What's Edwina's advice?

A．To stop children using the media.

B．To help parents care for children well

C．To reduce children's screen time earlier

D．To increase intervention to children

【3】How did the author develop the main body of the text?

A．By giving some examples.

B．By showing some data.

C．By analyzing some reasons.

D．By concluding some results.

【4】What does the underlined word "odds" in the last paragraph mean?

A．Probability.

B．Price.

C．Cost.

D．Income.

24、Sooner or later, most students are to take some form of English examinations. Often the more successful students are better prepared. However, sometimes students who do well have better test taking skills. These abilities really have nothing to do with understanding English better. They are skills that make taking the test easier, and therefore provide better results.

Here are some very important—and often ignored—guidelines to taking a test successfully.

Do not insist on completing each question before going to the next. This is extremely important. Remember one question may only be worth one point! You will become nervous when you fail to find out its answer, making you lose your concentration and leading to worse results. However, answering the questions you are sure you know results in your being more relaxed and feeling more confident.

Go through the test a second time working out the answers to more difficult questions. Sometimes questions asked are answered in later questions asking for different things.

Usually(but not always) a strong first impulse(冲动) means we know the answer and we don’t really have to think about it too much. Going back to think about it usually makes you unsure and often causes a mistake. This is very common, so be very careful!

If you don’t know the answer, write something. If you are answering a 4 possibility multiple choice question you will still have a 25% chance of being correct!

Taking a test is as much for you as is for your teacher, so never cheat. If you cheat, you don’t help yourself in the long run.

【1】In the first paragraph, the writer stresses the importance of ______.

A. better preparations for exams.

B. better understanding of English.

C. better skills at taking exams.

D. better results of taking exams.

【2】When taking an exam, you are advised ______.

A. to first answer the questions which are easier to you.

B. to depend on your first impulse to answer the questions.

C. to search the test paper for all the answers to the questions.

D. to give up the questions whose answers you don’t know.

【3】 It is common that many students______.

A. pay much attention to their testing skills.

B. often give up a difficult test halfway.

C. often get higher results by cheating.

D. don’t believe in their first impulse.

【4】 What would be the best title of the passage?

A. Effective Studying Methods.

B. Effective Test Taking Skills.

C. Getting Better Exam Results.

D. Being Successful Students.

25、   Architects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical (经验的,实证的) basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people _________, and lead to relaxation.

Researches show that aspects of the _________ environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room's ceiling _________ how people think.

Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed _________.

In addition to ceiling height, the view _________ by a building may influence an occupant's ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who _________ the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.

Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to _________ academically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with _________ views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily __________ roads and parking lots.

Recent study on room lighting design suggests that __________ light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase __________. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.

__________ scientists have focused mainly on public buildings." We have a very limited number of studies, so we're almost looking at the problem through a straw," architect David Allison says.

26、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Walking up to the ringing phone, I looked at my clock. Midnight. Panicky thoughts filled my sleepy mind as I grabbed the receiver.

“Hello?” My heart pounded.

“Mama?” The voice answered. My thoughts immediately went to my daughter.

When I heard the sound of a young crying voice, I grabbed my husband.

“Mama, I know it’s late. But don’t say anything until I finish. And before you ask, yes, I’ve been drinking. I nearly ran off the road a few miles back and. . . ”

I took a sharp breath, released my husband, and pressed my hand against my forehead(额头).  Something wasn’t right.

“And I got so scared. I want to come home. I know running away was wrong. I should have called you days ago but I was afraid. . . ”

I tried to talk：“I think. . . ”

“No! Please let me finish！” She said, desperately. Before I could go on, she continued. “I’m pregnant(怀孕的), Mama. I know I shouldn’t be drinking. . . but I’m scared, Mama. ”

I bit into my lip(嘴唇), feeling my eyes filled with tears. My husband left the room, and returned seconds later with a cell phone against his ear.

She asked, “Are you still there? Please don’t hang up on me! I feel so lonely. ”

I held the phone. “I’m here. I wouldn’t hang up, ” I said.

“I should have told you, Mama. But when we talk, you just keep telling me what I should do. You read all those pamphlets(手册)on how to talk to kids, but all you do is talk. You don’t listen to me. Because you’re my mother, you think you have all the answers. But sometimes I don’t need answers. I just want someone to listen. ”

I stared at the how­to­talk­to­your­kids pamphlets on my nightstand(床头柜). “I’m listening,” I whispered.

Then she said she had called a taxi. When the taxi arrived, she hung up.
