21、A California man and his family went from rags to riches after discovering that the blanket given to him by his grandmother was worth a small fortune. Loren Krylzer was living in a small hut and barely getting by on his disability payments. One day, he happened to be watching Antiques Roadshow on TV when he learned that the forgotten old blanket in his closet might be valuable. The Krytzer family heirloom (传家宝) turned out to be an antique (古老的) Navajo weaving from the 19th century that fetched US$1.5 million at auction (拍卖会).
Krytzer's blanket was prized for much more than its antiquity. Among Native American tribes, the Navajo are recognized as the most skillful weavers of blankets and rugs. The weaving style is characterized by vivid, varied patterns and exceptional durability. From shearing the sheep, spinning, preparing, and dyeing the wool to the actual weaving process, it takes around 345 hours to create one blanket.
Women traditionally wove Navajo blankets while men built the weaving devices. To this day, Navajo people still make high quality blankets and rugs to sell. They believe that, since only God is perfect, their creations should have some imperfection. Another Navajo belief is that their souls are sewn into every weaving, so they intentionally include a hidden loose thread into each piece. This ensures that it isn't too perfect, and their souls can still escape into the afterlife.
The Krylzers also had a loose thread on their road to riches that allowed them to escape the trap of financial ruin. In an unfortunate twist, the family's life-changing windfall (意外之财) came with a huge tax bill from the government and a lot of imploring relatives. After taking a family vacation in Mexico, buying a new sports car and a couple of real estate purchases, Krytzer lost his disability payments and now gets big bills for property taxes and insurance instead. Ironically, the family decided to relocate to a less expensive state to save money.
【1】How did the Krytzer family go from rags to riches?
A.A family member purchased a winning lottery ticket.
B.Loren was invited to have an interview on a TV show.
C.Loren’s disability payments were unexpectedly increased.
D.Loren auctioned off a blanket his grandmother gave him.
【2】A loose thread woven in a Navajo blanket indicates that_____.
A.God’s creation is also imperfect
B.people can exit from horrible situations
C.its owner is sure to have an everlasting life
D.the blanket is really made by hand
【3】Why did the family finally decide to move to another state?
A.To reduce the cost of living.
B.To be hidden from their relatives.
C.To change for a better environment.
D.To apply for disability payments again.
【4】According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Navajo blankets have nice patterns but don’t last long.
B.Loren Krytzer made millions of dollars from disability.
C.Weaving a blanket involves many processes and skills.
D.Loren’s life went from bad to worse because of the windfall.
22、On some Swedish trains, passengers carry their e-tickets in their hands---literally. About 3, 000 Swedes have chosen to insert grain-of-rice-sized microchips beneath the skin between their thumbs and index fingers (食指). The chips, which cost around $150, can hold personal details, credit card numbers and medical records.
They rely on Radio Frequency ID (RFID), a technology already used in payment cards, tickets and passports. By one estimate there are 10, 000 people with chip implants (移植物) around the world. Sweden, home to several microchip companies, has the largest share.
Fifty employees of Three Square Market, a Wisconsin-based firm, volunteered to receive chip implants that can be used to pay at vending machines (自动售货机) and log in to computers. Individuals can order do-it-yourself kits, which come with tools to insert the device, or attend “implant parties”, where a professional gives chips to a group. Sometimes they get T-shirts that say “I got chipped”.
Jowan Osterlund, the founder of Biohax, a Swedish firm, claims chips are more secure than mobile phones. But there are still some concerns. RFID chips do not have GPS, but they leave a digital footprint when they interact with doors or printers. In 2004 a Mexican senior official and his staff had chips inserted in their arms that tracked who had accessed sensitive information.
So why take the risk? Convenience is one draw. Chip implants can be used wherever contactless IDs or payments are accepted. Sweden is well suited, as one of the world’s most cashless countries.
But the chips have little use unless companies play along. Few shops recognise chip implants yet. Even those organisations that do have had teething troubles. When Swedish rail officials began scanning (扫描) passengers’ microchips, they saw LinkedIn profiles rather than evidence of ticket purchases. For now the chips are used largely as digital business cards, keys or to store emergency documents such as wills.
So exhibitionism is another explanation. Chip enthusiasts include those who believe technology can perfect human bodies. Elon Musk, a successful business leader, has invested in tech that combines machines with human brains.
【1】What do we know about some Swedes’ chip implants?
A.They are very expensive.
B.They are easy to be inserted.

【3】What is the sixth paragraph mainly about?
A.The limitations of chips.

D.The procedure for boarding a train.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

B.How Radio Frequency ID is applied in Sweden.
C.Why Sweden is home to big microchip companies.
D.Why Swedes are inserting microchips into their bodies.
23、Communication in family conflicts
Communication is an important factor in managing family conflict. Unresolved disagreements can result in stress for both parents and children, difficulty in everyday interaction, and increased frequency of argument. 【1】 But being able to send clear verbal and nonverbal messages and listening actively can help lessen the influence and keep it under control.
Family conflict can occur between parents and children, between siblings or between spouses (配偶). How family members approach a conflict can mean the difference between positive and negative effects on the family unit. Productive conflict can help a family become closer and assist members in moving through their problems. 【2】
Healthy communication, which includes listening, respecting the opinions and feelings of others, and staying calm, can help family members be more receptive to each other during a conflict. Open and honest communication can aid in problem solving and can help family members acknowledge any potential issues involved in conflict. 【3】
When family members adopt unhealthy styles of interaction or have difficulty relating to each other altogether, disagreements can become more serious. 【4】 According to Leanne Knobloch, an expert in interpersonal communication and conflict resolution, having the same arguments over and over as a result of unresolved, ongoing conflict can cause harmful effects on personal well-being and the health of relationship.
【5】 It is important to pay attention to the verbal and nonverbal cues of everyone involved in an interaction. Other suggestions include being open to conflicting views, welcoming compromises and avoiding negativity during and after the conflict.
A.Causes of family conflicts can be various.
B.There is no way to completely avoid family conflicts.
C.It can also help to avoid future problems on the same subject.
D.It comes as no surprise that family conflicts have been worsening.
E.So family members should learn skills that work in future disagreements.

G.Examples include exhibiting extreme emotions, changing the subject, making excuses, etc..
24、 Emojis are popular among mobile phone and social media users. 900 million of them are sent daily without text via Facebook Messenger. As text alone isn't always able to convey true feelings, millions of people use the digital icons to enrich their digital communication. While there are emojis of almost every kind, there is no emoji representing forgiveness Seeing the need to promote understanding and reconciliation, a Finnish group decided it was time for a “forgiveness” emoji.
In 2019, the Forgivemoji campaign was launched. This was done with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland and several Finnish nonprofit organizations including the Helsinki Deaconess Foundation.
Antti Pentikainen from the Helsinki Deaconess Foundation told The Guardian that forgiveness is vital in creating peace. “Without it, conflicts continue in cycles and get worse,” he said. “We urgently need to learn better how to reconcile. These skills are needed everywhere. Different ways to encourage apologizing and forgiveness are an essential part of it, and this includes the social media environment.
Forgivemoji's site featured an open call to the public to submit their designs for a new forgiveness emoji. The campaign attracted over two million people around the world. They receive many submissions including a bandaged heart, and people from different cultures hugging. After hundreds of people submitted their ideas for this emoji, the winner was announced in February, 2020. The emoji that will be presented to the Unicode Consortium, which officially adds new emojis to the emoji keyboard every year, is an image of two hands giving a thumbs up symbol in front of a heart. If the Consortium accepts the design, it will become available to the public in late 2021.
The Forgvrmoji campaign goes far beyond influencing social media. The message of prioritizing forgiveness and reconciliation is helpful for the world. Promoting a culture of apology and understanding is critical for both civil communication and personal relationships. An emoji may seem like a small place t0 begin, but it's an important start.

D.It encouraged us to hug each other.
【4】What's the best title for the text?
A.Emojis Are Wildly Popular Around Finland.
B.A Finnish Group Pushes for a Forgiveness Emoji
C.Digital Icons Encourage People to Reconcile
D.Forgivemoji Campaign Promotes Communication
