21、   Scientists have designed transparent wood that could replace conventional glass in windows.

The innovation was developed using wood from the balsa tree, which is native to South and Central America, and claims to be five times more thermally efficient than glass.

The team treated balsa wood in an oxidizing bath that bleaches it of nearly all visibility and then penetrated it with polyvinyl alcohol(PVA), creating a product that is virtually transparent.

Unlike traditional glass, the transparent wood can withstand much stronger impacts and will bend when damaged, instead of breaking into a lot of small pieces.

The transparent wood was created by teams at the University of Maryland and University of Colorado, which set out to find a greener alternative to conventional glass-a product that creates 25,000 tons in carbon emissions each year. Along with contributing to greenhouse gases, glass contributes to a loss of energy.

“Residential building windows in particular account for 10%～25%of the heat loss due to their poor thermal management capability,” the team wrote in the study. “Exploring energy efficient window materials is thus highly desirable to address heating costs, energy shortages, and the global impact of climate change associated with increased carbon emissions.”

The team notes that the bonding between PVA and cellulose in the wood, creates a tightly packed structure that allows for more thermal protection and makes it more durable and lighter than glass.

“Switching to transparent wood could prove to be efficient as well, ” researchers shared in a statement. “It is approximately five times more thermally efficient than glass, cutting energy costs. It is made from a sustainable, renewable resource with low carbon emissions. It also agrees with existing industrial processing equipment, making future mass production easier.”

【1】From where can you know how the transparent wood is made?

A.Paragraph 1 B.Paragraph 2 C.Paragraph 3 D.Paragraph 4

【2】What does the text say about the transparent wood?

A.It is environmentally-friendly. B.Its cost is much higher than glass.

C.It has been made in large quantities. D.It is designed to give off heat easily.

【3】What can be learned from researchers' words in the last paragraph?

A.It is difficult for people to get used to the transparent wood.

B.Conventional glass in windows is likely to remain popular.

C.Existing industrial processing equipment is still inadequate.

D.The future of the transparent wood is promising.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.A better way to make windows. B.An alternative to window glass.

C.The transparent wood in concept. D.A tree used for transparent wood.

22、   Who can be volunteering?

A Ugandan NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) was formed by members of a rural community in South-west Uganda in 2007. They developed a local school for children aging from 3 to 15 from poor families, and started community based projects that will equip the young villagers with the skills and knowledge to face a safer and brighter future.

The project itself is well integrated into the community and those undertaking volunteering work are always given a warm welcome, especially by the local children who love spending time with volunteers from all ages and backgrounds.

Volunteering at Uganda Lodge is suitable for families, gap year teenagers, seniors etc.

For medical students we can offer you official medical elective course scores with no additional fees charged. Staying at Uganda Lodge could also count for the residential section of the Gold Award and Queens Scout Awards.

What can I do?

You need to speak English. Even if you are not a Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) teacher (although useful!), you can go into the classrooms and make a meaningful difference. Experienced teachers can take over a whole class if they wish, after consulting with the teacher on content.

We now have over 500 students in the Ruhanga Development School and they are in urgent need of teachers. English conversation is needed for the older children in particular, also showing picture books etc. or simply talking to babies helps inspire their mental and physical growth.

Children at our kindergartens and primary schools do love help from our volunteers to learn new rhymes and songs, talk about pictures in books or get inspirations with craftwork and painting.

24、   Everybody has a different opinion on what qualities make a good person. Some might consider honesty and devotion to be very important. 【1】 , but I believe that the ability to be optimistic is the most essential quality. I also think having a sense of humor and a smile is very important.

Voltaire once said “Life is a shipwreck (沉船), but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboat.” Life isn’t perfect, but why should we focus on the imperfections of life when we can smile. Being positive means looking out the window at a thunderstorm and saying “Wow, the plant will be watered.” If you look up the definition for laugh in a dictionary, it would say “to make sounds from the throat while breathing out in short bursts as a way of expressing amusement.” 【2】. It is like a cure for cancer or an umbrella in the rain. Laughter can protect you from the harmful rays of grief. I believe comedians are the true doctors of this world. 【3】. Laughter truly is the most effective and side effect-free medicine in the world.

【4】. Whether you are from China, France, or Germany, you smile in the same language. A smile has the power to make someone’s day. If you smile at someone, they will probably smile back. Therefore, smile all the time and pretty soon the whole planet will wear a happy smile. Life is like a mirror, and we get the best results when we smile at it.

Laugh your heart out, think optimistically, and don’t forget to smile. Imagine the world to be a happy and safe place to live. I have the power to make the world a better place. 【5】.

A.Life is a bed of roses

B.Laughter is much more than that

C.I agree that these qualities are vital

D.One’s happiness depends on his / her philosophy of life

E.You have that power to make the world a different place, too

F.They give you a free prescription every time you come to their office

G.A smile is one of the only gestures performed and understood globally

25、   In interviews, famous people often say that the key to becoming both happy and successful is to “do what you love.” But mastering a skill, even one that you deeply love, requires a huge amount of hard work.

Anyone who wants to master a skill must run through the ______ of practice, critical feedback, alteration, and improvement over and over. Some people seem able to concentrate on practicing an activity like this for years and ______ their gradual improvement. Yet others find it _____ to do this kind of focused, time-consuming work. Why?

The ______ may turn on the ability to enter into a state of “flow”, the feeling of being completely involved in what you are doing. Flow states can happen in the course of any activity, and they are most common when a task has well-defined goals and is at a(n) ______ skill level, and where the individual is able to ______ their performance to clear and immediate feedback.

Flow states turn the boring practice into an autotelic activity—that is, one that can be enjoyed for its own sake, rather than as a means to an end or for obtaining some ______ reward. Then how can we get into a flow state for an activity that we want to master, so that we enjoy both the ______ and the rewards?

Those who most ______ entered into flow states had an “autotelic personality”—a quality to seek out challenges and get into a state of flow. While those without such a personality see ______, autotelic individuals see opportunities to build skills. Autotelic individuals are receptive, open to new challenges and also persistent. Such people, with an ability to focus on tasks rather than ______, have a great advantage over others in developing their inborn abilities.

____, for those of us who aren’t necessarily blessed with an autotelic personality, there is evidence that flow states can be promoted by environmental factors. In particular, the learning framework ______ by Montessori schools seems to encourage flow states. In Montessori schools, learning comes through ______ rather than direct instruction and students are encouraged to develop individual interests. Competition is ______ and grading is de-emphasized, taking the focus off of external rewards.

While there isn’t (yet) a pill that can turn dull practice into an exciting activity for anyone, it is heartening that we seem, at least to some degree, to be able to push ourselves toward flow states.
