21、Top trends in IT for 2021
The year of 2020 was almost entirely dominated by the coronavirus pandemic, and its effects have not only changed life on Earth but our digital lives as well. What are the technological trends that will continue into and through 2021? Let’s take a look.
Quantum computing
Like its name suggests, quantum computing is based on the principles of quantum theory, which explains the behavior of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic levels.
Different from classical computers, which store and process data as either ones or zeros, quantum computers use something called quantum bits-or qubits. Qubits allow information to be stored in more than one state, so it can be both one and zero at the same time.
Therefore, quantum computers can handle complex operations at speeds much faster than traditional computers without needing as much energy. Quantum computers have proven to be especially helpful during the pandemic For instance, they were used to search for potential vaccines and find other therapies to help affected people. Its potential will be explored more in 2021.
Working from home
There’s no real going back to normal “Gerard Grech, CEO of networking company Tech Nation, told Wired magazine. The pandemic has given us an opportunity to rethink how we work and why.
After working from home for much of 2020, some companies noticed an increase in productivity when their employees worked remotely. Not only that, but providing this option canal so help cut down operating costs for companies.
This is great news for workers, too, as many people have wanted more flexibility with their work arrangements for quite sometime. More hybrid workspaces with work from home options will thrive this year.
Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity has recently become more important because people are more dependent on working online- to name one of the main reasons.
In fact, according to Forbes, hackers took advantage of the pandemic and ramped up cyber attacks worldwide. In just the first four months of 2020. alone, attacks on banks increased 238 percent and cloud servers by 600 percent.
One solution is the cybersecurity mesh. This method puts a security barrier around each individual instead of around the company or organization. You can think of the cybersecurity mesh as each person being in their cybersecurity bubble instead of everyone staying in a walled city.
Going into 2021 and beyond, cybersecurity will become crucial a sour world becomes even more digitalized and interconnected.
【1】What makes quantum computers faster than traditional ones?
A.The way they store data.

D.The damage caused by the pandemic can not be undone.
【3】What can we learn about cybersecurity mesh?
A.It was developed by hackers during the pandemic.
B.It ensures cybersecurity like a walled city.
C.It can defend individuals against cyber attacks.
D.It provides a secure online trading platform.

23、Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are concerned with their own appearance and actions too much. Negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?
It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. A person's self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives.
Shy people, who have low respect, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need faith that they are doing "the right thing". Shy people are very sensitive to criticism. It makes them feel inferior(自卑).They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one: "You're just saying that to make me feel good, I know it's not true.” It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.
Can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self respect. It is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths. Each one of us has his or her own characteristics. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life.

【3】What is the shy people's reaction to praise?
A.They are pleased by it.
B.They feel it is not true.
C.They are very sensitive to it.
D.They feel they are worthy of it.
【4】We can learn from the passage that shyness can ______.
A.block our chances for a successful life
B.help us to live up to our full development
C.enable us to understand ourselves better
D.have nothing to do with lack of self respect
24、Curiosity is what makes us try something until we can do it. Kids have strong urges to learn and master. As John Medina writes in Brain Rules, “This need for explanation is so powerful that some scientists describe it as a drive, just as hunger and thirst are drives.” Great learners preserve this childhood drive, or regain it through the application of self-talk. Instead of focusing on initial disinterest in a new subject, they learn to ask themselves “curious questions” about it and follow those questions up with actions. John Medina has found that people can increase their willingness to deal with necessary tasks by changing their self-talk from “This is boring” to “I wonder if I could...?”.
You can employ this strategy in your working life when you feel you have to learn something yet you lack the drive to do so. All you need do is find just one thing about a “boring” topic that sparks your curiosity.
I recently worked with a lawyer whose firm had offered her a more significant job that required knowledge of employment law—an area she regarded as “the most boring aspect of the legal profession”. Rather than trying to persuade her otherwise, I asked her what she was curious about and why. “Swing dancing,” she said. “I’m fascinated by the history of it and wonder how it developed—it’s such a happy art form.” I explained that her “curious language” could be applied to employment law. “I wonder how anyone could find it interesting?” she said jokingly. I told her that was actually an OK place too start. She began thinking about possible answers (“Maybe some lawyers see it as a way to protect both their employees and their companies...”) Soon she was intrigued enough and over the following months she learned what she needed to know for that aspect of her new role.

B.To present an example of the application of his strategy.

26、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was Mother's Day and I was shopping at the local supermarket with my son who is five years old, Tenyson. As we were leaving after finishing our shopping, we realized that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and hit her head on the ground badly. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock. Fortunately, a lot of people stopped to help out.
While we were walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very worried about what had happened to the elderly couple. He said to me, “Mom, it's not much fun falling over in front of everyone,” Seeing that there was a flower stall(摊位)at the front of the supermarket, he added, “Why shouldn't we buy the lady a flower? It will make her feel better.” I was amazed that he’d come up with this sweet idea. So we went over and told the flower seller what we wanted. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can't take your money for such a wonderful deed.”
By now medical staff had arrived, and were looking after the injured woman. There we saw the old man was also in great horror, but he tried to comfort his wife and held her hands tightly to encourage her to be strong. We gave the flower to the woman's husband and I told him it was from my son. At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you very much.”He then turned to me, “You have a wonderful son. Happy Mother's Day to you.”
The man bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Regardless of being badly hurt, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile. And my son bent down his body to the injured lady and tenderly said, “Happy Mother's Day to you, too.”
