21、The bad health effects of sleep loss during the week can’t be repaid by longer weekend sleep, according to a new study.

Researchers have long known that sleep deprivation (剥夺) can cause weight gain and increase other health risks. But for those who force themselves out of bed every weekday after too few hours of shut eye, they hope turning off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and remove any ill effects.

The research, published in Current Biology, crushes those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep during a weekend recovery period, people in a sleep lab who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced disorders that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of sleep loss, those gains were wiped out when people fell right back into their same sleep deprived schedule the next Monday.

“If there are benefits of catch-up sleep, they’re gone when you go back to your daily schedule. It’s very short lived”, said Kenneth Wright, director of the sleep and chronobiology lab at the University of Colorado at Boulder. “These health effects are long term. It’s kind of like smoking once was — people would smoke and wouldn’t see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep is in the early stage of where smoking used to be.”

Wright said that the study suggests people should put sleep in the first place cutting out the “sleep stealers” such as watching television shows or spending time on their phones. Even when people don’t have a choice about losing sleep because of child-care responsibilities or job schedules, they should think about getting sleep in the same way they would get a healthy diet or exercise.

【1】What does the underlined word “rushes” mean?

A．Arouses.

B．Guarantees.

C．Deepens.

D．Ruins.

【2】According to Kenneth Wright, which of the following statements is true?

A．People will see the effects of sleep loss after a long time.

B．People will benefit a lot from weekend recovery sleep.

C．Smoking and sleep loss have the same bad effects.

D．Sleep loss is less harmful than smoking.

【3】What does Kenneth Wright advise people to do?

A．Do regular exercise every day.

B．Reduce the screen time before sleep.

C．Watch some TV shows before bedtime.

D．Sleep as long as possible during weekdays.

【4】What does the author intend to do by writing the passage?

A．To share some unhappy experiences.

B．To show some unknown facts.

C．To introduce a new study.

D．To promote a healthy lifestyle.

22、We know that China is the largest and fastest-growing consumer market in the world. What is less well understood are the forces that shape consumerism in the world’s most populous country. In my view, there are some social and cultural aspects at play that drive consumer spending.

Consumerism is related to freedom. To have a choice means to have consumer choice. You are what you consume. Consumption is an expression of self. It allows you to explore the world through its products, to experiment with lifestyle choices, and to do so safely and anonymously（匿名）. You might never get to France, but you can try French wine. California might be far, but you can go to Shanghai Disneyland. Indeed, the enthusiasm for choice is reflected in the enthusiasm Chinese consumers have for online shopping.

Consumerism is a statement of success. American economist Thorstein Veblen popularized the concept of “conspicuous consumption”. When consumption is no longer driven only by need, it becomes a way of making a statement that you have disposable（可自由支配的）income and you can ---at least in certain respects---enjoy life on your terms. Simple pleasures---a pair of shoes, a smartphone, designer clothing --- become statements of personal identity.

The collective experience is focused. We like participating in group events. FOMO, the Fear of Missing Out, goes beyond cultures. But I suspect this trend is stronger in China than in the West because Confucian culture does not celebrate outsiders as the West’s culture does. Social media reinforce（强化）this collective pattern so that shopping and dining are shared experiences. Opinions are crowd-sourced. And the merchants reinforce this pattern by supporting holiday sales, group buying, and other promotions.

Successful brands in China are able to handle most or all of the above considerations. The consumer must not only be delighted with your product. The journey of the consumer must also respect these socio-cultural aspects.

【1】What’s mainly talked about in the passage?

A．Chinese are growing wealthier.

B．China’s fast-growing market economy.

C．Chinese socio-cultural influences on consumerism.

D．Chinese consumers’ preference for quality rather than quantity.

【2】What does Paragraph 2 focus on ?

A．Shopping online is a new experience.

B．Consumption can be a reflection of freedom.

C．Foreign products can be purchased in China.

D．Shopping around the world is a favorable choice.

【3】What do the underlined words “conspicuous consumption” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．The ability to cover one’s real need in daily life.

B．Spending money in order to keep up with others.

C．The purchase of expensive items to display status.

D．Buying plenty of goods and delivering them to others.

【4】Why does the author suspect FOMO is stronger in China?

A．Social media play a bigger role in their lives.

B．Following the trend is what people like better.

C．Chinese people have less contact with the strangers.

D．Confucian culture is less likely to appreciate outsiders.

23、How to Have a Successful Teenage Life

Everyone wants to succeed in their life, don’t they? Even as a teenager, you can achieve success in your life, and it really isn’t that hard. 【1】

Do well in school. No matter how boring it is now, education will help you be a productive member in society. Try your best for excellence in school: listen to the teachers, do your homework, study, and get good grades. Doing so will help you get into a better university, which will enable you to have a bright future. 【2】

Do good in your community. Volunteering can not only improve your community’s status, but also make you happier. Studies show that people who volunteer are less likely to develop depression (抑郁) than people who don’t. 【3】 For example, if you love animals, volunteer at an animal shelter. If you love protecting the environment, plant trees or pick up litter. When you help others, it will make you feel better about yourself.

【4】 Remember, they’re there to help you be the best that you can be. Respect them and value their opinions, even if they annoy you sometimes. 【5】 You don’t get to choose your teachers or your family, but you still have to put up with them. Learn how to deal with people now, because when you’re an adult, you don’t get to choose your boss or your co­workers, so learn how to respect them now.

A．Here are some important points that you may find helpful.

B．Be nice to your parents and teachers.

C．School sets you up on the right track.

D．Find chances to do voluntary work that interests you.

E．Keep in mind that they do the things because they care about you.

F．Live life fully.

G．It will help you pass time and develop your personality.
