21、   A Chicago woman, Karen Autenrieth, who lost her wedding band nearly 50 years ago was reunited with the ring just in time for Valentine’s Day.

The story began during the winter of 1973. “It was very cold and the snow piled up along the roads,” Karen told the Chicago Tribune. “I had to help each kid climb over the large piles to get into my grandparents' yard. My hands were cold---I didn't have gloves on---and my ring just flew into the snow.” Despite her best efforts, Karen was unable to find the ring.

In February, a Chicago man who lost his own wedding ring posted on Facebook asking if anyone had found it. In the comments section, Sarah Batka, a woman who lives in Autenrieth's grandparents' former home% said she had discovered a wedding ring eight years ago while gardening. It wasn't the man s ring» but it sparked a hunt for the rightful owner.

Two historians---Carol Flynn and Linda Lamberty from the Historical Society---set off to solve the mystery. They used every means to retrace the origin of the ring and finally drew a conclusion that a woman, Karen Autenrieth, whose grandparents had once lived in Batka’s home, was the possible owner.

“The woman was on Facebook. So I asked whether this ring was hers. ’’ Flynn wrote in the post. “She replied—it was hers!”

After connecting, Flynn mailed the ring to Autenrieth, who received the package on Valentine's Day. 44Holy Mary, I can t believe it. Karen told the Chicago Tribune. “Just think I get the ring back after almost 50 years!

【1】When did Karen lose her wedding band?

A．A Special Valentine’s Day

B．A Woman with a Magic Story

C．The Return of a Long-lost Ring

D．The Search for the Rightful Owner

22、   Essentially, everyone has two ages: a chronological(按时间计算的) age, how old the calendar says you are, and a biological age, basically the age at which your body functions as it compares to average fitness or health levels.

“Chronological age isn’t how old we really are. It’s merely a number,” said Professor David Sinclair at Harvard University. “It is biological age that determines our health and ultimately our lifespan(寿命). We all age biologically at different rates according to our genes, what we eat, how much we exercise, and what environment we live in. Biological age is the number of candles we really should be blowing out. In the future, with advances in our ability to control biological age, we may have even fewer candles on our birthday cake than the previous one.”

To calculate biological age, Professor Levine at Yale University identified nine bio-markers that seemed to be the most influential on lifespan by a simple blood test. The numbers of those markers, such as blood sugar and immune measures, can be put into the computer, and the algorithm (算法) does the rest.

Perhaps what’s most important here is that these measures can be changed. Doctors can take this information and help patients make changes to lifestyle, and hopefully take steps to improve their biological conditions. “I think the most exciting thing about this research is that these things aren’t set in stone,” Levine said. “People can be given the information earlier and take steps to improve their health before it’s too late.”

Levine even entered her own numbers into the algorithm. She was surprised by the results. “I always considered myself a very healthy person. I’m physically active; I eat what I consider a fairly healthy diet. But I did not find my results to be as good as I had hoped they would be. It was a wake-up call,” she said.

Levine is working with a group to provide access to the algorithm online so that anyone can calculate their biological age, identify potential risks and take steps to improve their own health in the long run. “No one wants to live an extremely long life with a lot of chronic diseases,” Levine said. “By delaying the development of mental and physical functioning problems, people can still be engaged in society in their senior years. That is the ideal we should be pursuing.”

【1】Biological age depends on __________.

A.what the calendar says about our age

B.when we start to take outdoor exercise

C.whether we can adapt ourselves to the environment

D.how well our body works compared with our peers’

【2】What does the author mean by saying the underlined part in Paragraph 2?

A.We are chronologically older than last year.

B.We might be less happy than the previous year.

C.We don’t have to celebrate our birthday every year.

D.We may be biologically younger than the year before.

【3】What does the author want to tell us by Levine’s example in Paragraph 5?

A.It is necessary to change our diet regularly.

B.The test results may give us wrong information.

C.Waking up early in the morning is good for our fitness.

D.The algorithm can reveal our potential health problems.

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Bio-markers Can Make Us Younger

B.Chronological Age and Biological Age

C.Old People can Still be Engaged in Society

D.Biological Age can Lag behind or Exceed Chronological Age

23、Parents sometimes struggle to find a balance between encouraging an adolescent to achieve without pushing too hard. Pushing a child too much could feed perfectionist tendencies, which can have a serious effect on mental health. Perfectionists are motivated by a fear of failure and reach for high goals in an effort to prove their worth to others. 【1】. This tendency can be found at the root of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression and eating disorders.

Parents can help temper (缓和) perfectionist tendencies by bringing “perfectionist thinking” out into the open, helping an adolescent regain perspective and learn to accept their limitations. Here are some ways parents can start that important conversation at home:

Build awareness: Perfectionist thinking takes root in childhood. Evidence suggests just raising awareness about perfectionism — what it looks like in action and its potential costs — can help to lessen its hold. 【2】. As in not everything has to be pursued at the highest level all the time.

Normalize suffering: Young people need to hear that it is typical and normal to feel suffering from time to time, and that negative emotions are a normal part of life and not a sign of personal fault. Saying “That sounds really hard” or “【3】.” can help to normalize them and allow a child to feel less alone.

Encourage self-compassion (自我同情) and self-forgiveness: Practicing self-compassion can protect against perfectionist tendencies. Help your child find a go-to line they can say to themselves to drown out the critical voice in their heads, as in: 【4】. Forgiving yourself for being human doesn’t mean ignoring failures. It means widening your perspective, aiming to do better but without suffering additional and unhelpful criticism.

【5】: A large part of the harm of perfectionism comes from our reactions to it. When experiencing a personal setback, a parent can model healthy coping out loud, as in, “It’s time to stop beating myself up. Everyone makes mistakes.” Modeling for your children how you cope with mistakes and failures is critical to fostering healthy coping skills in them.

A．Stop perfectionism

B．Model healthy coping

C．I can understand how you feel

D．At its worst, perfectionism acts as a trap

E．That’s okay, Jamie, you’re doing your best

F．Mounting evidence shows how destructive perfectionism can be

G．One way to do this is to introduce the concept of “good enough”

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。

I used to hate running. It seemed too hard, and pushing outside my comfort zone was not something I was raised to do.

In fact, I wouldn't have become a runner if it weren't for my husband Charles. He had been a serious competitive runner for many years. But several years ago, he quitted running for some reason. After our marriage, he wouldn't stop talking about how much he missed it.

"So start running again, why don't you?" I was getting tired of hearing about it.

So he picked it up again, and after a year or so, I started to join him at the track. Just a few weeks later, Charles signed us both up for a five-kilometer race in my city. I hesitated about doing it. After all, it was too soon.

But on the race day, there I was. As soon as the gun went off, thousands of runners pushed forward.

The first kilometer was too tough for me.

"I don't think I'm going to make it." I was already breathing heavily and painfully aware of the group of runners pounding past me.

"No, you're doing great", said Charles. He was trying to encourage me, to get me focused on something other than my discomfort.

"I can't," I said, in a weak voice.

He tried a different way to persuade me. "Just make it to that house and let's see how you feel." I had to continue, sweating all over.

After another minute I saw the three-kilometer mark. All I could think of was that I was dying and that my husband was torturing (折磨)me.

Miserable doesn't even begin to describe how I felt. And there was pain, so much pain that I was on the verge of breakdown.

"You'll be fine. You've got less than a kilometer to go," Charles shouted loudly.
