21、It is recently reported that people’s collective stress has reached alarming levels. 【1】. It can have serious consequences. A study found that people experiencing long-lasting burnout have up to a 35 percent greater risk of early death. Don’t panic. Here are some active steps you can take to prevent burnout:

Look for meaning at work

You can tolerate stress longer if you believe you’re doing something purposeful and worthwhile. You are more likely to experience bumout-inducing stress when something seems out of control, against your will, or totally meaningless. 【2】 .

Look for meaning outside of work

If you are struggling to make you work meaningful, giving priority to life outside of work might be especially beneficial. A research shows that people more likely to experience a greater sense of engagement when on the job are those with a hobby.

【3】

Use separate email accounts for work and personal life, and set up boundaries between work and personal life, then you will be especially more comfortable if you work from home.

Don’t neglect yourself

Physical activity is essential to shaking out stress hormones. 【4】 . But movement is the most natural evolutionary response to our body’s stress, even light movement helps “complete” the stress cycle.

Recognize when it has become too much

Talk to your boss when you feel your job should be manageable, rewarding and under your control. It’s common for bosses to increase tasks over time if you don’t communicate our needs or limitations, which may be overlooked. 【5】 .

A．Work at home when necessary

B．Try to separate work and home

C．And your hormone levels can be generally affected by emotional states

D．Many individuals are less active when they are under stress in order to rest

E．Feeling constantly occupied, worried, and overwhelmed can lead to burnout

F．If you don’t expect things will improve,consider changing jobs or even careers

G．Identify ways in which even the smallest of daily tasks contributes to the lives of others

22、People with COVID-19 who are asymptomatic can spread the disease without any outward signs that they're sick. But a newly developed AI, with a keen algorithmic ear, might be able to detect asymptomatic cases from the sounds of people's coughs, according to a new study.

A group of researchers at MIT recently developed an artificial intelligence model that can detect asymptomatic COVID-19 cases by listening to subtle differences in coughs between healthy people and infected people.

Indeed, it is the Alzheimer's model that the researchers adapted in an effort to detect COVID-19.“The sounds of talking and coughing are both influenced by the vocal cords and surrounding organs.” co-author Brian Subirana, a research scientist in MIT's Auto-ID Laboratory said in a statement. “AI can pick up simply from coughs, including things like the person's gender, mother tongue or even emotional state. There's in fact sentiment strongly fixed in how you cough.”

First, they created a website where volunteers-both healthy and those with COVID-19-could record coughs using their cellphones or computers; they also filled out a survey with questions about their diagnosis and any symptoms they were experiencing. People were asked to record “forced coughs,” such as the cough you let out when your doctor tells you to cough while listening to your chest with a stethoscope.

Through this website, the researchers gathered more than 70,000 individual recordings of forced-cough samples, according to the statement, Of those,2,660 were from patients who had COVID-19,with or without symptoms. They then used 4,256 of the samples to train their AI model and 1,064 of the samples to test their model to see whether or not it could detect the difference in coughs between COVID-19 patients and healthy people.

The AI model correctly identified 98.5% of people with COVID-19, and correctly ruled out COVID-19 in 94.2% of people without the disease. For asymptomatic people, the model correctly identified 100% of people with COVID-19, and correctly ruled out COVID-19 in 83.2% of people without the disease.

But "whether or not this performs well enough in a real-world setting to recommend its use as a screening tool would need further study,"Lubinsky told Live Science."What's more,further research is needed to ensure the AI would accurately evaluate coughs from people of all ages,’’ he said.

【1】How does the AI recognize people infected with COVID-19?

A．By observing outward sick signs.

B．By identifying sounds of coughs.

C．By copying the Alzheimer's model.

D．By talking to the healthy and the infected.

【2】On what basis does the AI function as a detecting tool?

A．How people catch coughs.

B．How people perceive coughs.

C．How people make vocal sounds.

D．How people release their emotions.

【3】Which of the following isn't a part of the research?

A．Volunteers record coughs.

B．Volunteers fill out a survey.

C．Doctors ask for forced coughs.

D．Researchers train the AI model.

【4】What is one of the faults of the research?

A．The limited age range.

B．Failure to evaluate coughs.

C．Inaccuracy of the statistics.

D．Low rate of identifying cases.

23、There are only 11 documented cases of congenital aglossia(先天性无舌）in the world.Despite being born without a tongue,I can speak and swallow and taste just like anyone else.I was born in 1969,in the days before ultrasound scans(超声波检查）。Everything was normal and there was nothing to suggest that I'd be different.But when I was born,Mum found that there was something wrong with my mouth.The doctor saw the base of my tongue and told her,"Oh,she just has a small tongue.She'll be fine."

Later,doctors told my parents I wouldn't be able to talk or that my speech would be very limited.I'm sure that was hard for them to hear.But they were only 22 and I'm not sure how seriously they took it.I was their first and only child,and the best thing they ever did was treat me as if there was nothing wrong.Mum told me when I was older that she came home from a doctor's appointment and cried,because she worried I wouldn't have a normal life or be happy.

I'm able to taste the full range of flavors.I can eat everything.I've never had any anger a bout being born this way.Over the years,I've learned to get used to it,which hasn't always been easy.I'd love to think I offer hope to others in this situation,to parents or children born like me.

24、Fire has always been part of California’s landscape. But long before the disastrous forest fires of recent years, native American tribes（部落）held controlled burns each year. Those burns cleared out underbrush and encouraged new plant growth. Now, government officials have realized tackling the fire problem will mean bringing back “good fire”, much like California’s tribes once did.

When western settlers removed tribes from their land and banned tribal ceremonies, cultural burning disappeared. Instead, authorities focused on quickly putting out wildfires.

But what the authorities did only made California’s wildfire risk worse. Without regular burns, the landscape grew thick with plants that dry out every summer. These dry plants are kindling（引火物）for the fires that have recently destroyed California communities. Climate change and warming temperatures make those landscapes even easier to catch fire.

So, tribal leaders and government officials are forming new partnerships. There are hundreds of thousands of acres that need careful burning to reduce the risk of extreme wildfires. Tribes are eager to gain access to those ancestral lands to restore traditional burning. Before 1800, the tribes used low-grade fires to shape the landscape, encouraging certain plants to grow both for tribal use and to attract game.

The arrival of western settlers dramatically changed the ways of fire management. “They came with their concepts of being afraid of fire,” a tribal leader says. “They didn’t understand fire in the sense of a tool. And they didn’t understand its role to help generate the land. So they brought suppression（压制）”.

Tribal leaders have been reaching out to ecologists, researchers and fire agencies about the importance of their knowledge. In Northern California, the Karuk and Yurok tribes have partnered with the Forest Service to manage land for traditional values and wildfire management.

【1】What have government officials realized about the native tribes?

A．The tribes’ old practice is useful.

B．The tribes are causing more forest fires.

C．It’s impossible to prevent the tribes burning forests.

D．It’s necessary to remove the tribes from where they live.

【2】What is the way western settlers deal with forest fires?

A．Fire suppression.

B．Reshaping land.

C．Cultural burning.

D．Removing kindling.

【3】What do the tribes think of fire?

A．They think it threatening.

B．They consider it as natural.

C．They think it can be beneficial.

D．They consider it harmful to the land.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．Western Settlers Brought Wrong Ideas of Fire Control

B．Wildfires Are Becoming Increasingly Serious in California

C．Native American Tribes Restore Their Traditional Ceremonies

D．California Looks to What Tribes Have Known to Manage Wildfires
