21、After turning over the December calendar, we will greet a new year. People will wear or place some specific items at this time, hoping to be healthy and lucky in the coming year. There are many objects and symbols that have beautiful implication all over the world. Do you know any about them? Read on.

Koi fish in China

Koi fish is known as the king of good luck in the water, which represents good luck in Feng Shui, and it is also known as “rich and noble”, because its color is like a peony (牡丹) in the water. Koi fish is regarded as a symbol of peace and friendship. Not only does it give people the enjoyment of beauty, but also implies joy, prosperity (繁荣) and happiness.

Acorns (橡子) in England

The oak tree is the national tree of England and symbolizes strength and endurance. The tree’s admirable reputation (名声) may explain why the Brits carried acorns for good luck and health. During the Norman Conquest, the British kept dry acorns in hope of escaping the cruel reality. In modern times, artificial acorns are used as jewelry and key chains to bring luck and wealth.

Scarabs in Egypt

Most people would be grossed out to wear a beetle around their neck, but in ancient Egypt, it was a way of life and believed to bring good luck. Kheper was the ancient Egyptian word for beetle and the meaning of it was “to exist”, so people wore scarab amulets (护身符) to protect them in this world.

Maneki-nekos in Japan

Do you know that smiling white porcelain (瓷制的) cat that waves at you when you walk into a Japanese restaurant or shop? It is called a Maneki-neko and is often displayed in the hope of bringing the business success and good luck. Each of the colors on the porcelain cat represents a different fortune: white means prosperity, gold means wealth, and black drives off evil spirits.

22、   Staying up late doing homework is always tiring. And perhaps when we become tired, we feel the need to eat unhealthy snack food. Recently scientists have been investigating tiredness and snack food.

According to a study in The Journal of Neuroscience, people are more likely to take snacks when they don't get enough sleep.

For the study, researchers from University of Cologne in Germany gave the same dinner to 32 healthy men aged between 19 and 33. Half of the men were then sent home to bed, and the other half were kept awake in the laboratory all night.

The next morning, the participants were asked to consider how much they would be willing to pay for snack food items shown to them in pictures.

According to the researchers, all were similarly hungry in the morning, and had similar levels of most hormones（荷尔蒙）and blood sugar.

However, brain scans showed that when the sleep-deprived（缺少睡眠的）participants looked at the pictures of junk food, they released more of the "hunger hormone". This is the hormone responsible for increasing the appetite, and making us consume more.

Asked about how much they would pay for snacks, "Participants with sleep deprivation were more willing to overspend on food items than those with a good night's sleep," researchers told Science Daily.

Researchers also observed that among the people who hadn't slept, there was greater activity in the part of the brain where food rewards are processed.

The scientists think that sleep-deprived people experience changes to the hunger hormone and the brain's reward system that then leads to a stronger desire to eat snacks with high fat and calories.

"This brings us a little closer to understanding the mechanism（机制）behind how sleep deprivation changes food valuation," Professor Jan Peters, a co-author of the study from the University of Cologne, told The Independent.

Some tips on this:

* Listen to some soft music to relieve your tiredness.

* Do some slight exercise for a short time when you're tired.

* Eat yogurt or fruits to replace snacks with high fat and calories.

* Distance yourself from snacks.

D．We need no snacks when we sleep.

A．Blood sugar.

B．Food items.

C．The hunger hormone.

D．Fat and calories.

【3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．People who lack sleep usually spend less on food items.

B．Listening to soft music helps people feel relaxed.

C．Exercise as much as you can when you are tired.

D．People who sleep well can get food rewards.

【4】What's the author's attitude towards snacks?

23、At just 19 years old, Arik Ancelin is making a name for himself in the rapping (说唱表演) world, which he hopes will pave the way for fellow artists with Down syndrome (唐氏综合征) like himself. He has already seen plenty of success with his first three albums as well as his TikTok. But Arik’s latest victory may be the biggest one yet: a co-operation with producer and vocalist DJ Nitti Gritti.

The song they created together is called “True Colors”. This true labor of love focuses on the beauty of being different and encourages listeners to follow their dreams no matter what. “It makes me feel happy because I do want a lot of people to hear that message,”Arik said. “I just want them to take this away. You can be different. I want you to be feeling good today. I just want you to be pursuing your dreams.”

To celebrate the recent release of their song, Arik and DJ Nitti had the amazing opportunity to perform it together at an Orlando nightclub, something that was an absolute dream for the up-and-coming rapper.

In addition to being a huge fan of Arik’s, DJ Nitti also wanted to cooperate with him because of his love for his own cousin, who has autism (自闭症). “It’s actually very close to my heart to be able to work on music, especially with someone with a disability. And, to treat everyone equally,” DJ Nitti said. “It’s a message that is right up my path, and it means a lot to him to sing about it. So, I wanted to help him get his message out.”

In just a short period of time, DJ Nitti has been able to do just that, helping Arik get one step closer to his dreams. “I want to be one of the biggest disability rappers,” Arik said, “and I want to be an inspiration to all types of people.”

We can’t wait to cheer him on as he does just that! Listen to part of their song in the video below, and don’t forget to share this story with friends to lift their spirits today.
