21、The word“diary”comes from the Latin word“diarium”，which means“daily allowance”.It refers to a book for disconnected writings by date and is used for business notes，planning activities，keeping track of scheduled appointments，or documenting what has already happened.

In America，from the 1940s through the 1980s，a diary was thought of mostly as a way to privately express one’s deepest thoughts while keeping marks about the day.In those times，and even continuing on today，writing in a diary was like writing to a special friend.Many times，movies would show a teenage girl beginning to write in her diary while she said aloud，“Dear diary,…”What followed was a brief statement of the day，usually filled with emotion.

Those private reflections may have historical significance long after the author’s death.A diary kept by a young German Jewish girl by the name of Anne Frank provides us with invaluable lessons about history，for she documented her experiences while she hid from the Nazis during their occupation of the Netherlands in the World War II.Her diary became one of the world’s most widely read books and is the basis for many films.

Semuel Pepys，who lived during the 17th Century，is the earliest diary-keeper that is famous today.His diary is also an important documentation of history，for it gives personal insight into London’s Great Plague and the Great Fire.Pepys took diary writing from the realm of business to the individual.His diary is being published on the Internet，and it's interesting to note that there has been a new entry every day since January of 2003.It will continue over the course of several years to come.Reading his diary is fascinating，and it makes his life all the more real to us.

Today’s electronic version of the diary，the web log，or“blog”has once again stretched the diary to be much more than a personal account of the day’s events.There are blogs to document recipes，traveling，movies，independent news，product announcements，photos，and anything else that needs to be recorded over time.Search engines like Technorati.com have been created to keep track of the more than 112 million blogs that are currently public.In its newest replacement，the diary has become more popular than ever.

【1】Generally what is a diary used for?

A. Taking business notes.   B. Planning activities.

C. Keeping daily happenings.   D. Confirming the appointments.

【2】Which of the following can replace the underlined word“realm”in the fourth paragraph?

【3】Why does the author mention Anne Frank’s diary in the third paragraph?

A. To let us know the popularity of her diary.

B. To show us the invaluable lessons about the history.

C. To present her dramatic and interesting experience during the War.

D. To emphasis the importance of keeping diaries for historical purposes.

【4】What can we know about the blog?

A. It has been more widely accepted by the public.

B. Technorati is the only search engine created for it.

C. The diary remains the same form but still popular.

D. Nothing but the individual daily events can be recorded.

22、   Have you ever imagined what it would be like to see the world through an animal's eyes? For example, what a chimpanzee sees as it sits at the top of a tree, or a penguin;s view as it dives into the sea to catch its dinner?

These questions are answered in the nature documentary Animals with Cameras, produced by the BBC. The three-part series was first aired in the UK last month. To explore animal stories "told” by the animals themselves, the documentary's filmmakers worked with scientists to develop cameras that wild animals could wear.

"Never before have we seen such high-quality footage （连续镜头）directly from the animal's point of view, ” BBC Nature executive producer Fred Kaufman told PBS. “ This miniseries greatly expands our comprehension of animal behavior and this camera technology opens up new possibilities for discovering so much more."

Indeed, the groundbreaking technology provides a new viewpoint of the animal kingdom. New cameras with enough battery life to shoot for hours at a time were designed to be comfortable enough for animals to wear, according to the documentary's camera designer Chris Watts.

The technical challenges didn't stop there. Some animals were very curious about the equipment, with some even fighting each other for the chance to wear a camera. In the case of chimpanzees, "we had to create dummy （仿造的）cameras, so that every chimpanzee could get one" , the miniseries'  wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan told Live Science.

For animals that were comfortable enough to be with human beings, the cameras could be fitted and removed by hand. But for others, the cameras came off automatically using a timed release and were collected afterward. This meant that the cameras needed to be as tough as possible.

To avoid disturbing the animals, scientists who were good at dealing with wildlife came to help by putting the cameras on the animals. " The last thing we want to do is cause them distress." the documentary's  producer Dan Rees told the BBC. “To follow an animal in the first place, there had to be a clear benefit in terms of knowledge about it that might be useful to protecting a species in the future.

Their efforts certainly paid off. “ Footage that captures （捕 捉）these rare and exciting glimpses of animals bidden habits is important to scientists, but documentaries like Animals with Cameras also resonate with （引 起共鸣）audiences, connecting them with the beauty - and danger - of wildlife in their natural environments," Live Science noted.

23、Decision hard

From the moment we wake up each day, we’re faced with a continuous stream of choices.【1】, when there are too many options. This is decision fatigue (疲劳), a state of mental overload that can impede (妨碍) our ability to make additional decisions.

When decision fatigue kicks in, you may feel like you just don’t have the mental bandwidth to deal with more decisions. 【2】. As a result, you avoid making certain choices entirely, go with the default option or make ones that aren’t in line with your goals or values, experts say.

Here’s how to minimize or manage this phenomenon:

【3】. Some easy ways to do this: When you go grocery shopping, use a master list that has the same staples, and buy the same brands each time.【4】. And if you’re trying to exercise regularly, devote a consistent amount of time for it every day.

Tune into how you’re feeling. Be watchful of signs of decision fatigue and act accordingly: If you’ve had a demanding day that was filled with lots of decisions, put off making another one if you can. If things that wouldn’t normally upset you start bothering you, consider that a sign that you may not be in the best state of mind to make a major decision. “People may not realize that they’re experiencing decision fatigue,” Baumeister, a professor of psychology at the University of Queensland in Australia, says. “【5】.”

A．Make some choices automatic

B．It’s something to watch out for

C．They should turn to the experts for advice

D．Put down what you have in hand and take a break from them

E．This can lead to decisional disfunction or decreased self-control

F．If you like having oatmeal for breakfast, stick with it on a daily basis

G．We tend to feel overwhelmed, anxious, stressed or otherwise out of sorts

24、   Sweetest Day is always the third Saturday in October. This holiday is much more important in some regions than in others (Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo being the biggest Sweetest Day cities). It is a holiday that is gaining in popularity every year throughout the country.

Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy. It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, aged, and orphaned, but also friends, relatives and associates whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.

Over 60 years ago, a Cleveland man, believing that the city’s orphans and shut-ins (卧病在床的人) too often felt forgotten and neglected, formed the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this through the distribution(分发) of small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he distributed these small remembrances on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to participate in the celebration ceremony, which came to be called “Sweetest Day”. In time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the underprivileged(弱势群体)was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small remembrance. And soon the idea spread to other cities all over the country.

Sweetest Day is not based on any single group’s religious belief or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning. Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift-giving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a practical way.

【3】Sweetest Day is celebrated in the following ways EXCEPT _____.

A.a kind act B.a family party C.gift-giving D.a small remembrance

【4】From the third paragraph we can learn that _____.

A.it is the people in Cleveland who spread Sweetest Day to other cities

B.only with the help of the man’s friends and neighbors, he got a small remembrance

C.over 60 years ago, a man too often felt forgotten and neglected
