21、People do not like being separated from their mobile phones, even while enjoying a restful holiday at the beach. However, the phone battery (电池) may become exhausted completely. If that happens, they have no choice but to connect the phone to the power supply. But it’s impossible to get the battery charged (充电) at the beach. What’ s worse, the hot sun is shining right overhead, and the water in the bottle is sure to reach a very high temperature.

Antoine Sayah, a university student from Lebanon, developed a special beach mat called the Beachill. It looks similar to the ordinary beach mat and will cause back pain as well. However, the device can recharge any mobile phone. It is designed to be water-resistant (防水的) and has a 5-watt solar panel, which provides power continuously. The mat also has the refrigeration equipment that can help keep drinks cool, just like the refrigerator.

Antoine Sayah began selling the Beachill on the Internet for $150. He says he has been surprised at the reaction worldwide. “I have got orders for the device from Brazil, Toronto, all over Europe, especially France, America, from all continents.” The Beachill is also gaining popularity in other places, like swimming pools and boats.

Some people like the mat because it is lightweight and easy-to-carry. Rita Mathieu bought one of the Beachills. “When I am on the beach, I used to look around for a charger and never managed to find any and the water never stays cool,” she says. “So this kind of beach mat is wonderful and has everything in it, even a pocket where I can put a book. Thanks to it, I can surf the Internet and keep in touch with friends at any time at the beach.”

【1】The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ______.

A. show great pity for people at the beach

C. provide some key facts about mobile phones

D. prove the importance of water in hot weather

D. It functions more effectively than ordinary ones.

A. popularity   B. convenience

C. good quality   D. low price

【4】The text is written to _______.

A. tell people a new way to get a cold drink

B. ask people to stop using phones at the beach

C. encourage people to travel around the world

D. introduce a beach mat that can charge a phone

22、The American Academy of Pediatrics has warned about the potential negative effects of social media on young kids and teens. But the same risks may be true for adults, across generations. A review study suggests addiction symptoms, such as failure to pay proper attention to personal life, mental preoccupation, escapism, tolerance and trying to hide the addictive behavior, appear to be present in some people who use Facebook excessively.

A study also shows when people stop using the Internet, they also go through small but measurable physical effects. Rather than improving well-being, as frequent interactions with supportive offline social networks powerfully do, the current findings show that interacting with Facebook may predict the opposite result for young adults — it may undermine it.

In fact, another study found that social media use is linked to greater feelings of social isolation, mentally and physically. Facebook can be a jealousy generator. We fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others as we check our Facebook pages, and make judgments about how we measure up. The study looked at how we make comparisons with others’ posts, in “upward” or “downward” directions — that is, feeling that we are either worse or better off than our friends. It turned out that both types of comparisons made people feel worse, which is surprising, since in real life, only upward comparisons make people feel bad. But in the social network world, it seems that any kind of comparison is linked to depressive symptoms.

All of this is not to say that there is no benefit of social media — obviously it keeps us connected across great distances, and helps us find people we had lost touch with years ago. But visiting social networks when you have some time to kill, or, worse, need an emotional lift, is very likely a bad idea. If you are feeling brave, try taking a little break, and see how it goes. And if you are going to keep “using” it, then at least try to use it in moderation.

【1】What might researchers think about “using Facebook excessively” according to the text?

A．It’s problem behavior.

B．It’s costly and time-consuming.

C．It’s leading people to become imaginative.

D．It’s sometimes a solution to social isolation.

【2】What does the underlined word “undermine” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Present.

B．Check.

C．Destroy.

D．Ensure.

【3】What’s the finding of the study mentioned in paragraph 3?

A．Social media are being given too much importance.

B．Young Facebook users feel more isolated than their elders.

C．All kinds of comparisons on social media upset people.

D．Downward comparisons link closer to depression than upward ones.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A．Social media affect people’s mental health.

B．Comparing ourselves with others may lead to depression.

C．Social networks have more advantages than disadvantages.

D．Nowadays people tend to turn to the Internet for an emotional lift.

23、There’s no doubt that positive thinking impacts one’s life. However, in recent years, I’ve come to understand that perhaps positive thinking can result in toxic (有毒的) positivity, which has negative consequences. What we should be aiming for instead is emotional validation (确认).

Toxic positivity is the maintenance of positive thinking even in situations where it isn’t appropriate. “It often comes at the risk of denying our own real feelings or the feelings of others,” says Nina Vasan, MD. While positive thinking in general is a great thing, toxic positivity isn’t. It’s the act of denying anything negative that’s actually happening, and it can involve making people feel bad for having normal human emotions. Someone practicing toxic positivity might say things like “everything happens for a reason” or “just look on the bright side” when a friend shares something difficult in his/her life.

Vasan tells us that with toxic positivity, emotions like sorrow and anger are pushed aside. However, emotional validation allows you to have your feelings. To be exact, emotional validation is about allowing people to experience their feelings and acknowledging that having negative feelings is real and often important. That doesn’t mean it promotes and encourages negative thinking endlessly, though.

Toxic positivity encourages us to focus only on the positive, which can stop us from dealing with the feelings we need to work through. Practicing emotional validation is a healthier option for you and the ones you love. “This can be as simple as saying ‘I understand you’re really sad’.” explains Vasan. Offering your understanding shows our loved ones that we care about their feelings. Besides, instead of telling someone to look on the bright side, you should offer words and thoughts of support instead.

Toxic positivity has become prevalent, and you probably know a lot of people who dismiss your negative experiences with statements like “You’re too sensitive”. Now you can say: Whatever you’re feeling is temporary and allowing yourself to feel it will help you get through it.

【1】What is emotional validation?

A．Permitting emotional ups and downs.

B．Denying people’s negative feelings.

C．Maintaining positive in hard times.

D．Avoiding risks in terrible situations.

【2】What may the author recommend you to say to a sad person?

A．Perhaps something fortunate is still waiting for you.

B．I’m sure there’s a good reason for what has happened.

C．I understand your sadness but being sensitive is no good.

D．You have every right to feel upset and I am here for you.

【3】What does the underlined word “prevalent” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A．Complicated.

B．Widespread.

C．Instructive.

D．Essential.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A．Promoting positivity is worthwhile.

B．Admitting negativity is reasonable.

C．Sticking to positivity is significant.

D．Expressing negativity is inappropriate.

24、Perhaps all of us want to leave good impressions on others at work. These impressions are like labels pinned on us, but one of the best may be “knowledgeable”. If you sound knowledgeable, you’ll be taken seriously at meetings and elsewhere. 【1】 The following ways may be helpful.

【2】

If you want to sound knowledgeable, form a single idea from the material you’ve gathered, and deliver it clearly. No mater how much you know on a topic, the secret to audience engagement is to put it down to a single, convincing idea.

Say, “Here’s what I believe ...” Or “My point is this ...” Be sure to state this idea in one short, sharply focused sentence. 【3】

Provide a clear structure.

Once you state your idea, make the depth of your knowledge clear by offering proof points that support your one idea. 【4】 They include Reasons, Ways, Steps in a Process, or a Challenge/Response. Give your listeners clear signposts as you proceed through your structure. Use tags like “the first reason,” “the second reason,” or “The challenge we faced ...” and “Our response was ...

Simplify your language.

The simpler your words and sentences, the more profound you’ll sound. Suppose a colleague reporting on a project says: “The satisfaction of all parameters implicates the completion of the project mandate by Q4.” Hearing that, you have every right to be puzzled. A truly knowledgeable colleague would simply say: “We expect to complete this project by year end.”

【5】 Therefore, you’d better choose simple words and short sentences. As Winston Churchill said, “Short words are best, and the old words when short are best of all”.

A．Choose proper materials.

B．True wisdom lies in simplicity.

C．Boil it down to one message.

D．But what is a knowledgeable person like?

E．These points can be organized in a variety of ways.

F．But what exactly does it take to sound knowledgeable?

G．it will center your audience on a single meaningful thought.
