21、Lots of people avoid books. They read emails, websites and papers for work, but not books. They are busy, but even if they have time, they would rather relax on their computers or in front of the TV. 【1】 However, I think there are lots of benefits to reading, which screen- based activities don’t have.
【2】 Looking at screens can be very stressful for your eye muscles, and clearly you should avoid looking at screens for an hour before bed, to get a good night’s sleep.
【3】 I often forget the time or things around me! Reading is a great way to witch off before you go to bed, because you think more about the world of the book, rather than the real world, so you can truly relax. I know you can be transported to a different world in a film or a TV show, but I think books do it better.
I also enjoy hearing what people are doing and finding out what they think. Reading gives me the chance to get to know hundreds of new people! It also teaches you to see things from other people’s point of view, and understand other people’s decisions or opinions. With a book, you can hear everything a character is thinking or feeling. 【4】
So my challenge for you is this: to read a book for 15 minutes every single day for a month. Take 15 minutes when you are waking up, going to bed, eating lunch, or having a coffee. If you read a lot, why not try 15 minutes of an English book? 【5】 Good luck, and happy reading!
A.It’s better for your eyes.
B.Reading relieves your stress.
C.You really can be inside someone else’s head!
D.Everyone is different and has their own interests.
E.You have a better understanding of the whole world.
F.If you make it, why not pass the challenge on to someone else?
G.One thing I personally love reading, is being transported to another world.
22、There’s no shortage of health food trends on TikTok, but which ones are actually sensible? And should you skip any of them altogether? We asked registered dietitian Vanessa Rissetto, and here’s what you need to know.
Emily Mariko’s Salmon Bowl
Made with rice, baked salmon, soy sauce and spicy mayo — and to be clear, there are a lot of different variations of it online — this passes Rissetto’s test because it’s healthy, fast, easy and has good flavor.
Rissetto says that while she would recommend this recipe, she would also suggest changing the white rice for brown rice for increased nutrients and more fiber.
Healthy Cookie Dough
Cookie dough that’s healthy? This is too good to be true, right? The answer is probably yes.
Rissctto says that while this may be healthy, it probably doesn’t taste good.
“I’m certain this tastes like cardboard, ”she said. “If you don’t care about taste — then this is for you.”
Lettuce Water For Sleep
While harmless, the TikTok trend of pouring boiling water over romaine lettuce leaves to make “lettuce water” for better sleep probably won’t cure your sleep disorder — and it probably doesn’t taste great, either.
“This is not a thing. There’s no evidence to prove it,” Rissetto said. “Instead, steep a banana peel in boiling water to help aid with sleep.”
Nature’s Cereal
As Rissetto points out, it’s basically a fruit smoothie bowl.
“I am all for having berries and coconut water,” she said. “Nutrition-wise, this has lots of vitamins, antioxidants and fiber. It’s basically a fruit salad that would be super refreshing on a hot day or post-workout.”
【1】What is special about Emily Mariko’s salmon bowl?
A.It doesn’t taste great.
B.It is good for health.
C.Its recipe is not fixed.
D.It uses two kinds of rice.
【2】Which recipe doesn’t Rissetto recommend?
A.Emily Mariko’s salmon bowl.
B.Healthy cookie dough.
C.Lettuce water for sleep.
D.Nature’s cereal.
【3】Which food suits you best after playing a football match?
A.Emily Mariko’s salmon bowl.
B.Healthy cookie dough.
C.Lettuce water for sleep.
D.Nature’s cereal.
23、You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Laughter is the best medicine.” Comedy on Referral has taken that idea and run with it, using stand up comedy to help treat people struggling with trauma (创伤) and anxiety in partnership with the National Health Service (NHS).
The idea came from comedian Angie Belcher’s experiences teaching comedy at Bristol University. She found that students often told her how much stronger and more resilient (有适应力的) they were thanks to stand up comedy.
Inspired, she teamed up with the NHS in Bristol to create a six-week comedy course for patients struggling with trauma in January 2022. Following the success of this initial course, Comedy on Referral won NHS funding to help men with trauma in London.
Talking to the Bristol Post, Belcher said, “Past traumas are perfect for comedy. Comedy doesn’t come from the happy, perfect moments of your life, but from our everyday struggles and major life events. People who’ve been through big life experiences such as losing a loving one and ill health often can’t wait to tell me their story, mostly because there’s always something especially funny about the situation.”
Research has shown that laughter has positive psychological effects, such as decreasing levels of cortisol—the stress hormone—and increasing endorphins (内啡肽). It can even have physiological benefits, although less research has been done in this area. Current research has linked laughter and humour with increased levels of pain tolerance as well as short-term cardiovascular benefits. More research is needed to prove these findings.
Nonetheless, the mental health benefits of regular laughter are widely accepted, and using comedy to treat mental health struggles could be a real breakthrough in the treatment of mental health.
【1】Why is the phrase mentioned in paragraph 1?
A.To stress the importance of laughter.
B.To explain the harm trauma causes.
C.To show the effect of stand up comedy.
D.To state the idea behind Comedy on Referral.
【2】How was the first six-week comedy course for patients?
A.Ambiguous.
B.Effective.
C.Controversial.
D.Fruitless.
【3】What may contribute to a comedy according to Belcher?
A.Happy moments.
B.Funny moments.
C.Struggling moments.
D.Successful moments.
【4】What is the text?
A.A news report.
B.A book review.
C.A comedy story.
D.A diary entry.
24、For us, one of the many cultural shocks we experienced was during our time in Bolivia. We spent five months traveling around South America but Bolivia surprised us most. Tourism and the approach to service in Bolivia are, to some extent, underdeveloped, which is not necessarily bad. However, you might get the feeling that the locals don’t like your presence. At times we didn’t feel welcome at all.
Bolivians will stare at you, give angry looks, and often won’t even say hi when you come to their stores and restaurants. After some conversations with locals, we were told that the negative attitude had nothing to do with us. Bolivians are just not used to foreigners and don’t really know how to handle tourists. But we can’t even blame them. After a long and hard time as a Spanish colony, people are still very suspicious of foreigners.
What we loved most and surprised us is how Bolivians keep their traditions alive, which is truly amazing. We often saw locals wearing their traditional clothes and marketing their self-made medicine. These and other efforts to preserve their customs deserve respect. You just can’t see that in many countries in the world.
I loved their clothes so much that I borrowed a traditional Bolivian dress to try to overcome the "tourist vs local barrier" and show the locals on the island that we truly love their culture and appreciate it. The experience was absolutely wonderful. We walked to the sunset point and locals were smiling and waving at us, cheering and we felt like we had a "connecting moment".
Even though we had this cultural shock and despite the negative feelings at the beginning of our travels in Bolivia, we have to say that we will never forget how special Bolivia was to us.
【1】How might newcomers feel about Bolivians?
A.They are cold.
B.They are gentle.
C.They are clever.
D.They are generous.
【2】What shaped Bolivians’ attitude to foreigners?
A.Foreigners’ rude manners.
B.The location of the country.
C.Local people’s lack of knowledge.
D.The unpleasant history of the country.
【3】What’s the author’s favorite about Bolivians?
A.They seldom blame foreigners.
B.They are good at doing business.
C.They have many self-made items.
D.They preserve their traditions well.
【4】Which of the following best describes the author’s trip to Bolivia?
A.Restless.
B.Eye-opening.
C.Fruitless.
D.Awkward.
25、My daughter loved dance, until she didn’t. After an _________ first year, I noticed her interest fading week by week. Then, one day, she slowly walked to me before class and asked if she could just _________ it.
My first reaction was to _________ her to “finish what you start”. After all, sticking with something difficult can teach perseverance, discipline and confidence. But watching my first-grader _________ herself into each ballet position, I started to question how much sense that “blanket advice” made. Is it really in my kid’s best _________ , or even practical, to make her stick to every commitment through until she reaches a bitter _________? What if there are different but _________ valuable qualities, which can be gained by _________ the things that are not right for her?
With the winter show approaching, I realized she needed to either _________ her class or commit herself to it. After a few days’ consideration, she __________ dance wasn’t for her—a choice I __________. Quitting is never a black-and-white issue. Sometimes, it means __________ a barrier in your way to love something else. In my daughter’s case, ending dance made space for her new hobbies, such as horseback riding and Girl Scouts. She’s into them for now, but it is okay if that still changes.
As adults, we are accustomed to __________ the power of saying yes, but what about saying no? The ability to recognize when something isn’t an __________ investment of our time or energy is also Important. As my daughter gets older, I want her to feel confident to exit something that’s no longer meeting her needs. She shouldn’t be held back by the thought that she must finish something at any cost __________ because she has started.
