21、Bad news sells.If it bleeds,it leads.No news is good news,and good news is no news.Those are "the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers.But now that information is being spread amt monitored（监控）in different ways,researchers are discovering new rules.By tracking people's e-mails and online posts,scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.

"The ‘if it bleeds ’rule works for mass media,"says Jonah Berger,a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. "They want your eyeballs and don't care how you're feeling.But when you share a story with your friends,you care a lot more how they react.You don't want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer."

Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails,Web posts and reviews,face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative,but that didn't necessarily mean people preferred positive news.Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things?To test for that possibility,Dr.Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times' website.He and a Penn colleague analyzed the "most e-mailed" list for six months.One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles.He found that science amazed Times' readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.

Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny,or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety,but not articles that left them merely sad.They needed to be aroused（激发）one way or the other,and they preferred good news to bad.The more positive an article,the more likely it was to be shared as Dr.Berger explains in his new book,"Contagious: Why Things Catch On."

【1】What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?

A. News reports.   B. Research papers.

C. Private e-mails.   D. Daily conversations.

【2】What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?

A. They’re socially inactive.   B. They’re good at telling stories.

C. They’re inconsiderate of others.   D. They're careful with their words.

【3】Which tended to be the mast e-mailed according to Dr.Berger's research?

A. Sports news.   B. Science articles.

C. Personal accounts.   D. Financial reviews.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide

B. Online News Attracts More People

C. Reading Habits Change with the Times

D. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks

22、   It seems we're always being told to get more sleep. Studies suggest spending less time on sleep can lead to obesity(肥胖) and even cancer. You might even find yourself with a head full of false memories. But rarely does science explore the dark side of sleeping too much. That's because few of us in today's busy world have the luck of exploring that option.

In an August 2018 study, published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, researchers researched the sleep patterns of those“fortunate”few and found they may not be so lucky after all. In fact, they found people who get more than eight hours of sleep have greater health risk compared to those who sleep together less than seven hours. What's more, sleep-aholics-those who manage to get 10 hours a night-stand a 30 percent higher chance of dying compared to the seven-hour crowd.

The wide-ranging global study involved(涉及) more than three million people who self-reported on their sleep habits and came to an eye-opening conclusion: If you tend to sleep a lot, you may want to buy an alarm clock. As with all things in life, sleep is best taken in moderation（适度）.

You may be thinking: What if I only sleep in on Saturday and Sunday, am I still at risk? The answer is yes, according to a 2019 study published in Current Biology.  Researchers discovered that even if a person sleeps more  than seven hours on the weekends but still sleeps less than that on weeknights, they are at risk of gaining weight  and developing sensitivity to insulin, which controls the level of sugar in blood.

For the study, 36 participants were divided into three groups that each had a different sleep schedule: nine  hours every night, five hours every night, and five hours from Monday to Friday and sleeping much on  weekends. People who get too much sleep tend to feel tired and lack energy. Also, both sleep-deprived（睡眠不足的) groups consume more food and gain weight.

【1】Why is the harmful effect of sleeping too much seldom studied?

A.Few people have time to sleep too much. B.Lack of sleep causes much more harm.

C.It turns out to be a healthy sleep pattern. D.People's health has nothing to do with it.

【2】What does the underlined words "those 'fortunate' few" in paragraph 2 refer to?

A.Those leading a relaxing life. B.Those getting too much sleep.

C.Those with less time to sleep. D.Those with no sleep problems.

【3】What can be learned from the 2019 study?

A.Sleeping much is particularly beneficial to hungry people.

B.Many people sleep more on weekends than on weekdays.

C.An alarm clock of high quality is important for good sleep.

D.People who sleep much only on weekends also have health risk.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A.It is necessary to save enough time for sleep.

B.Too much sleep can result in gaining weight.

C.Sleeping too much does harm to people's health.

D.People can avoid sleeping much by eating healthily.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。

There is a farm not far from the coastline. It belongs to a man called Tom. Tom couldn’t do everything by himself on the farm. Thus, he needed to hire one man to help him run the farm. However, no one worked on his farm for long. Why？Because the work was too tiring. Since the farm is near the sea, there are often storms from the sea that strike his farm. When a storm comes, Tom and the man he hired have to get up quickly and try to reduce the losses caused by the storm. Therefore, no one liked working there. Tom had to look for people to work for him all the time.

One day, a man called Henry read the poster that Tom had put up and then came to his farm.

“Sir, I can work for you ,” said Henry.

Tom looked at Henry. This young man was neither strong nor tall.

“Are you sure?”asked Tom.

“Yes, sir. I can do the work well. But you must pay me twice what you paid others before,” said that young man.

Tom was surprised. He didn’t really believe such a man could do the work well. But it was really hard for him to find someone else to work for him. At last, he decided to give Henry a try. However, before hiring him, he said, “Can you really be a good helper？The work on the farm is hard and tiring. And there are often storms.”

Henry smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I can be a good helper. You’ll see. And storms won’t be a problem. They won’t even disturb our sleep. We can sleep very well even on stormy nights.”

And then Henry stayed on the farm. To Tom’s joy, Henry worked hard and did his work well. It was obvious that he hadn’t lied.

However, one night, there was a big storm. Tom was woken up by the strong wind. He was worried that the storm would cause great losses for his farm. And he saw his helper nowhere.

Paragraph 1

Tom thought Henry must still be sleeping.
