21、   Looking through photos on WeChat or reading updates on Weibo can be considered as a waste of time. What's more, everyone else seems to be having more fun or achieving greater success or getting more likes for their photos than you are.【1】

Yet social media is how many people stay connected with long-distance friends or cousins they'd otherwise see only once a year.【2】Researchers have come up with a few easy-to follow tips.

Limit when and where you use social media.

【3】Consider turning your media notifications（通知）off or putting your phone in airplane mode during meals, important conversations or important meetings. Try not to keep your phone or computer in your bedroom or use social media right before bed; studies show that using phones or iPads at this time affects your sleep.

【4】

Instead of mindlessly looking through TikTok or watching Weibo stories, try to be mindful every time you use social media.

Do you check WeChat first thing in the morning because you want to read the breaking news or because it's a habit? Does viewing photos of your friend's vacation make you happy?

Each time you check social media, think about why you're doing it, how it makes you feel, and whether that's really what you want.

Pay more attention to your real-life relationships.

Over time, people have more and more online friends and organizations that are no longer connected with them. So unfollow or hide them.【5】Humans have a need for connection. Spending time with friends in person and building networks offline can be protective for your health.

G.So how can people get the benefits of social media without letting it harm their health?

22、A pretty face is never forgotten. Do you believe so? But maybe it is untrue! Psychologists believe beautiful people are less likely to be recognized. A new study suggests that attractiveness can actually prevent the recognition of faces, unless a pretty face has particularly distinctive (与众不同的) features, such as Angelina Jolie’s.

German psychologists think the recognition of pretty faces is distorted (扭曲) by emotions. Researchers Holger Wiese, Carolin Altmann and Stefan Schweinberger at the University of Jena, Germany, discovered in a study that photos of unattractive people were more easily remembered than pretty ones when they showed them to a group of people.

For the study, which was published in science magazine Neuropsychologia, the psychologists showed photos of faces to test subjects. Half of the faces were considered to be more attractive and the other half as less attractive, but all of them were being thought of as similarly distinctive looking. The test subjects were shown the faces for just a few seconds to memorize them and were shown them again during the test so that they could decide if they recognized them or not.

The researchers were surprised by the result. “Until now we assumed that it was generally easier to memorize faces which are being considered as attractive, just because we prefer looking at beautiful faces,” Dr. Wiese said. But the study showed that such a connection cannot be easily proven. He assumes that remembering pretty faces is distorted by emotional influences, which increase the sense of recognition at a later time. The researchers’ idea is backed up by evidence from EEG-recordings (脑电图记录) they used during their experiment which show the brains’ electric activity.

The study also revealed that in the case of attractive faces, considerably more false positive results were detected. In other words, people thought they recognized a face without having seen it before. “We obviously tend to believe that we recognize a face just because we find it attractive.” Dr. Wiese said.

【1】Where is the text probably taken from?

A．An official document.

B．A travel magazine.

C．A science report.

D．A history book.

【2】What do we know about the photos from Paragraph 3?

A．They were all of pretty faces.

B．They were not distinctive at all.

C．They were selected at random.

D．They were showed twice to the test subjects.

【3】What can be inferred from the new study?

A．Beautiful people are particularly distinctive.

B．People are unwilling to recognize ugly faces.

C．Attractiveness prevents the recognition of faces.

D．Attractive faces are always easy to be recognized.

【4】Which word can show the author’s attitude towards the findings of the research?

A．Doubtful.

B．Objective.

C．Favorable.

D．Disapproving.

23、   We human beings have many great powers and one of them is our imagination. Maybe you are surprised and wonder why I draw such a conclusion. Wait and let me explain to you.

William James was a philosopher and one of the leading thinkers more than a century ago. He said this is about the power of the mind, “Anything you may hold firm in your imagination can be yours.” He believed there was tremendous power in imagination and wrote in length about how humans can bring about significant positive changes in their attitudes, behaviors and relationships by first holding a vivid image of their best selves, or the person they want to become，in their imagination.

In his book TheWinner'sEdge，writer Denis Waitley tells of high school basketball players who learned the power of holding something firm in their imaginations. The students were divided into three groups. Group One was told not to practice shooting free throws for one month. Group Two was told to practice shooting free throws in the gym every afternoon for a month. Group Three was told to imagine shooting free throws every afternoon for one hour for a month. Rankly, I can hardly imagine a group of athletes, after sitting in class all day, dressing out, going to the gym, sitting in the bleachers and just thinking about shooting free throws for an hour every day. But look at these results. Group One, the no－practice group, slipped slightly in their percentage free－throw average. Group Two，the students that practiced, increased their accuracy by about two percentage points. Group Three, the ones who imagined shooting, also increased about two percentage points—the same as the group that practiced.

Neuroscience(神经学)is just now discovering that there are biological reasons for this phenomenon William James talked about so long ago. But here is the point. Do you want to become more excellent at some endeavor? Do you want to improve your outlook? Is there a skill you'd like to perfect? Do you want better relationships? Or would you like to replace your fear of something, such as speaking in public or heading up a project, with more confidence and courage? If so, then some mental practice, holding a vivid image of what you have in your mind, is as important as physical practice. The time you spend “seeing” in your mind what you are trying to accomplish actually helps to bring it to pass.

I don't mean we have to sit down and imagine something for an hour every day. It's as  simple as holding a vivid mental picture of what you truly desire and returning to it as often as  possible.

So there are many things that you can have in your imagination. Imagine your success. Never hesitate to visualize doing that thing you fear at first. Get it in your mind and then imagine your success in that area over and over again, like free throws going into the basket. What does it look like to be confident? How does it look to be actually doing the thing you're afraid to do? How does it feel? Can you imagine it in detail? In a short time, you will discover that things really are changing for you. And after that, well, just imagine what else you can do if you really want to achieve some unexpected results.

【1】In the research in Denis Waitley's book, Group Three was told to________?

A．practice shooting free throws for one month.

B．practice shooting free throws every afternoon for a month.

C．imagine shooting free throws every afternoon for a month.

D．imagine shooting free throws for an hour every afternoon for month.

24、According to the latest survey by the Asian Development Bank, Asian parents are spending billions of dollars on private tutors (家庭教师) for their children and the practice is growing despite doubts about its effectiveness.

“Shadow education” is an expanding business not only in wealthy countries, but also in some of the region’s poorer nations as parents try to give their children the best start in life, the study saiD. Nearly nine out of 10 South Korean elementary pupils receive private tutoring, while the figure for primary school children in India’s West Bengal state stands at six out of 10.

The study estimated that the costs of private tutoring in South Korea were equivalent (相等的) to 80 percent of government spending on public education. Japan spent $ 12 billion on extra teaching in 2011, while the figure for Singapore stood at US $ 680 million in 2009.

Extra academic work aims to help slow learners and support high achievers. Many Asian parents view it as a constructive way for adolescents (青少年) to spend their spare time. However, it can also reduce the students’ time for sports and other activities important for their overall development as well as cause social tensions as richer families are able to pay for better-quality tutoring, the study said.

The study calls for a review of educational systems to make such extra teaching less attractive.

【1】Why is “Shadow education” an expanding business?

A. Because parents want to spend their money.

B. Because children don’t want to go to school.

C. Because parents want their children to stay with teachers.

D. Because parents want to give their children the best start in life.

【2】According to the article, what is the purpose of extra academic work?

A. To aid slow learners and support high achievers.

B. To prepare children for all kinds of academic contests.

C. To gain the most knowledge students can’t get in class.

D. To increase children’s hobbies and interests in many fields.

【3】Which disadvantage of extra academic work is NOT mentioned?

A. Causing social tensions.

B. Spending more extra money.

C. Lacking the chance to communicate with others.

D. Reducing the students’ time for sports and other activities.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A. The government policy on educational systems.

B. How to provide the best education for children.

C. The importance for children’s overall development.

D. The reasons for the popularity of private tutors for children.

25、   Hard work is often the only competitive advantage many people possess. We may not be as experienced or as _________ as other people.

But we can always work harder, smarter and longer.

As Kara Lawson-the Duke women's basketball team head coach-says, generally speaking, there's a huge _________ between working hard and competing.

Plenty of people work hard. But what is the best praise you can receive or give?

You competed.

_________ Lawson, most people mistake hard work for competitiveness:

“Hard work is I give you a task. I give you limitations on some task. I say, ‘You have to do this, in this amount of time, with this much weight.’ And then I force you to do it. I can force you to work hard just by what I ask you to do. You can't force someone to _________.”

The difference might seem amazing. Hard work requires effort and so does competing.

But working hard doesn't automatically mean _________ improvement. I can put in countless hours of effort without ever trying to “win.”

As Lawson says to her players:

“At the end of every session, that's the question you're asking yourself: Did I compete today?

That's different than working hard. Working hard is something some people do. Many people work hard in whatever job they do. Before you start, and then when you're done, be _________ with yourself: ‘Did I compete today?”

When you think you're _________, when you think you've done all you can, remember: You always find a little more inside you. You are capable of more than you think. Dig deep. Work a little harder.

When you're on the downside（劣势）of _________ and reaching a goal feels impossible, don't just work hard.

Compete: Make the extra phone call. Do the extra preparation. And remember to offer to not just tell _________ what to do but show them and then work beside them.

Every day, compete: to be the best boss you can be, the most empathetic（同理心的） listener you can be... Whatever it is, compete.

Competing will make you an even __________ “you” than you are today.

And that's the only competition that really matters.
