21、   Teacher burnout（倦怠） and student stress may be linked, according to a University of British Columbia study. The study is the first of its kind to examine the connection between teacher burnout and students' cortisol levels（可体松水平）, which are a biological indicator of stress.

Researchers collected saliva（唾液）samples from over 400 elementary school children and tested their cortisol levels. They found that in classrooms in which teachers experienced more burnout, or feelings of emotional exhaustion, students' cortisol levels were elevated. Higher cortisol levels in elementary school children have been linked to learning difficulties as well as mental health problems.

"This suggests that stress spreading might be taking place in the classroom among students and their teachers," said Eva Oberle, the study's lead author. Indeed,the relationship between student stress and teacher burnout is a chicken and egg question. It is unknown what came first - elevated cortisol or teacher burnout. We consider the connection between student and teacher stress a cyclical problem in the classroom."

Oberle said a stressful classroom climate could be a result of inadequate support for teachers, which may impact teachers' ability to effectively manage their students. A poorly managed classroom can contribute to students' needs not being met and increasing stress. This could be reflected in elevated cortisol levels in students.

Alternatively, stress could originate from students, who may be more challenging to teach because of increases in anxiety, behavioural problems, or special needs. In this scenario, teachers could feel overwhelmed and report higher levels of burnout.

"Our study is a reminder of the systemic issues facing teachers and educators as classroom sizes increase and supports for teachers are cut," said Oberle.

"It is clear from a number of recent research studies that teaching is one of the most stressful professions, and that teachers need adequate resources and support in their jobs in order to battle burnout and alleviate stress in the classroom," said UBC education professor Kimberly Schonert-Reichl, the study's co-author and director of HELP. "If we do not support teachers, we risk the collateral damage(附带损害) of students.

【1】Which is the best title of the passage?

22、“It's possible to jump to happy endings a little too quickly,” says Laura King, PhD, a psychology professor at the University of Missouri, Columbia. In her research with people who have experienced major life challenges, King has found that people whose stories gloss over（掩盖）conflict tend to become happier over the course of two years.

“The ability to take some time and experience grief（悲伤）or unhappiness improves your ability to appreciate the world in all its richness and complexity,” King says.

In one study, King asked parents to tell the story of discovering that their child had Down syndrome. Immediately after telling their stories and again two years later, the parents completed measures of subjective well-being. Researchers blind to the participants' test scores read their stories and recorded the presence of foreshadowing（预示）and whether the stories had happy or sad beginnings and endings. The researchers also scored how vividly the stories illustrated conflict, struggle and exploration.

Two years later, the parents who had grown happier were the ones who had written stories with happy endings. “I knew everything would be all right,” one woman wrote. Another parent wrote, “I know my daughter is quite special. She's the closest I've come to an angel on Earth.”

However, only the parents who first vividly described their mixed feelings upon learning of their child's diagnosis grew happier. “I cried a lot,” wrote a parent. “The pain was so deep. I felt cheated. I could hardly function.” These were also the parents who later seemed best able to fully appreciate their children's gifts and limitations.

【1】What did the study find?

A．People with sick child tend to be happier.

B．People usually jump to happy endings too quickly.

C．People who go through challenges may become happier.

D．People need to suffer difficulty to be able to appreciate happiness.

【2】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．Who the research focused on.

B．Why researchers did the study.

C．What benefit the finding will bring us.

D．How researchers carried out the study.

【3】What do parents have to do first to become happier?

A．Preview what will happen to them.

B．Describe their mixed feelings clearly.

C．Write a story with a happy beginning.

D．Take good care of their sick children.

【4】What is the text?

A．A news report.

B．A diary.

C．A travel guide.

D．A short story.

23、   A ten-year-old sperm whale(抹香鲸）was found dead on a beach in Scotland.A necropsy(尸检）revealed that nearly 100 kilograms of plastic and other trash had formed clumps(硬块）in its digestive system.The tragedy quickly made headlines.Why would a top predator in the ocean eat gloves,rope,and plastic cups?

Conventional wisdom suggests that marine animals eat plastic because it is there and they don't know any better.It is true that plastic may smell like food to some of them.But that doesn't explain why only certain types of whales-deep-diving toothed whales,such as sperm whales and pilot whales-turn up dead on beaches with stomachs full of plastic.

It's possible,says Savoca,that plastic trash sounds like food to toothed whales.These species

hunt deep in the ocean,sometimes nearly 500 meters below the surface,where it's pitch black(漆黑）。They use echolocation(回声定位）to hunt for food,typically squid(乌贼）。

By contrast,baleen whales(须鲸），including humpbacks and blue whales,have natural filters(过滤器）for their food.Baleen,the brush-like filter-feeding system they have in place of teeth,as well as their narrow throats,keeping them from swallowing anything much larger than the krill(磷虾群）that forms the basis of their diet.That could help explain why baleen whales are not ending up with plastic filled stomachs.

Fifty years ago,there was almost no plastic in the ocean.The lifespan of a large whale can be

twice that long.In the lifetime of a single whale,we went from an ocean with no plastic to hundreds of thousands of tons of it.Plastic comes on top of other factors affecting life in the ocean-climate change,overfishing,shipping traffic,and noise pollution."it's a real shame because their lives are challenging enough even without the additional pressure we put onto them,"says Savoca.

【1】What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A.That plastic smells like food to toothed whales.

B.That marine animals started to eat plastic decades ago.

C.That a number of toothed whales are found dead on beaches every year.

D.That conventional wisdom about why marine animals eat plastic doesn't apply to all whales.

【2】Which of the following statements DOESN'T explain why toothed whales are more easily harmed by plastic pollution than baleen whales?

A.They don't feed on krill.

B.They live in the dark depths of the ocean.

C.They are not born with brush-like filter-feeding systems.

D.They don't determine the location of their food with their eyes.

【3】What does the author want to emphasize in the last paragraph?

A.Whales have a longer lifespan than humans.

B.Plastic has a negative effect on climate change.

C.Great changes have taken place in the ocean in the past 50 years.

D.Plastic pollution has worsened already serious issues affecting marine life.

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A.Different diets,different fates

B.Silent killers in the ocean

C.Plastic trash in-the ocean

D.Saving whales
