21、Students are sitting in a classroom at P. S. 54, a public elementary school in Brooklyn, New York. When their teacher, Adrienne Heim, strikes a bell, they take a deep breath.
The kids are practicing mindfulness. That means they are learning to pay attention to the present moment. Why?
Being mindful can help people stay calm and focused, according to Heim. She is the founder of Green Generations. The organization brings mindfulness classes to eight schools in New York City.
Isafye Lewis, 10, has been taking in the class at P. S. 54 for two years. “Mindfulness teaches me to relax,” he told TFK. “It really helps me feel better when I’m disappointed or angry. ”
At P. S. 54, students practice mindfulness through deep breathing, movement, and relaxation exercises. But Heim says that mindfulness is about more than just keeping calm. It also boosts confidence. “It helps children have a right attitude,” she says, “so they can make healthy decisions. ”
Recent research published in Developmental Psychology supports this view. The study also found that mindfulness training can help kids succeed in school. That’s because it trains the brain to pay attention and manage pressure.
“It doesn’t solve math equations for kids,” Mariam Gates, author of This Moment Is Your Life, told TFK. “But what mindfulness does for all of us is help us focus on the moment we’re in, which is the only place we can learn, change, or grow. ”
But you don’t have to be in a classroom to practice mindfulness. Gates says, “You can always bring your attention to this moment and change how you experience it. ”
【1】Why do the students take a deep breath when the teacher strikes a bell?
A.They are frightened of the teacher.

C.They are taking an exam.
D.They are having singing class.
【2】What does Isafye learn from mindfulness?
A.How to take it easy.
B.How to stay focused.
C.How to stop being disappointed.
D.How to gain high grades.
【3】What does the underlined word “boosts” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.shakes
B.studies
C.raises
D.requires
【4】What did Mariam Gates say about mindfulness?
A.It does little to help kids’ studies.
B.It helps kids make decisions.
C.It makes kids have less pressure.
D.It helps kids pay attention.

22、Tu Youyou, the 85-year-old Chinese pharmacologist(药理学家),received the Nobel Prize for medicine in Stockholm on December 10,2015. Tu is the first Chinese Nobel winner in physiology(生理学)or medicine. Also, in 2011, she became the first Chinese person to receive the US-based Lasker Award for clinical medicine.
Based on a fourth-century Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) text, together with her team, she managed to get artemisinin(青蒿素)from sweet wormwood through trial and error and developed an important drug that has significantly reduced death rates among patients suffering frommalaria. Tu delivered a speech titled Artemisinin is a Gift from TCM to the World. She has urged more research into the benefits of traditional Chinese medicine and called for joint efforts worldwide to fight against malaria and develop more potential uses for TCM, which she called a "great treasure" with thousands of years' history and empirical knowledge. She said that by combining TCM with modem scientific technologies, "more potential can be discovered in searching for new drugs " .
According to the WHO, more than 240 million people in sub-Saharan Africa have benefited from artemisinin, and more than l. 5 million lives are estimated to have been saved since 2000 thanks to the drug. Apart from its contribution to the global fight against malaria, TCM played a vital role in the deadly outbreak of SARS across China in 2003.
Besides treating viruses, TCM has been most effective in diagnosing diseases, cultivating fitness, treating difficult multisource illnesses, and using nonmedical methods such as acupuncture (钟刺疗法) and breathing exercises.
However, TCM, which is based on a set of beliefs about human biology, is seldom understood or accepted by the West. Tu's success will bring more recognition and respect for TCM, experts say. The Western world should learn to appreciate the value of the treasures of TCM, which will lead to more basic scientific research into ancient TCM texts and ways to explore research findings worldwide.
【1】In this passage the author mentions _ prize( s) that Tu Youyou received.
A. one B. two C. three D. four
【2】The underlined word "malaria" in Paragraph 2 refers to "a kind of ".
A. medicine B. animal. C. plant D. disease
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A. This success may encourage Easterners to learn more about Chinese medicine.
B. Nothing remains to be done in researching into TCM theories and texts.
C. More research into the value of TCM should be carried out worldwide.
D. TCM only contributes to the fight against malaria and SARS in China.
【4】What's the passage mainly about?
A. TCM is based on thousands of years of practice in China.
B. Nobel winner, Tu Youyou, strongly supports TCM research.
C. Artemisinin is now widely used to fight against Malaria.
D. Westerners will appreciate the value of the treasures of TCM.
