21、Your time is valuable but also limited. Even in the best of circumstances (情况) , managing your work and your life is a big challenge. 【1】. Here are some helpful tips on how to start taking control of your time.

【2】

Know where you are today and where you want to be in the future. While that might sound very simple, you get to pick the goal, whether it’s what you’re going to finish today, this week or this month. Try to keep the timetable to something that’s manageable.

Create and follow a time management plan

Again, it’s your plan, and you get to choose one that suits your ability. Of course, it has to include all your business. And when you spare time to achieve all your tasks, they start to become more manageable. 【3】. If necessary, try to rearrange new demands for your time.

Do the right things by prioritizing (优先) your activities

【4】. Prioritizing your tasks, in theory, should be relatively easy once you have your time management plan. Just remember you need to keep a balance between work and life — life can’t be all about work.

Improve your concentration and focus

Avoid distractions like text messages, phone calls, social media, etc., for periods of your work time. Keep devices out of easy reach during the time you concentrate on a task. 【5】.

B．Establish your goals

C．The key is sticking to the plan

22、Sarah Park has known about the effect of music on the brain since a young age. The 13-year-old, who has been playing violin since she was 4, says she noticed its positive effect on those around her, especially her grandmother, who suffered from a mental health illness.

Now, Sarah Park, the middle-schooler hopes to use music therapy (疗法) to help others struggling with mental health. Her invention, Spark Care+, earned her the title of America's Top Young Scientist at the 3M Young Scientist Challenge on October 19, 2021. “I was pretty shocked when they announced my name as the grand prize winner,” Park said. “I am excited and thrilled with what's to come next with Spark Care+.”

Spark Care+ requires participants to respond to a series of questions based on the Hamilton Anxiety and Depression Scale, designed to assess the person's mental state. The device's inbuilt sensors record vital mental health indicators, such as heart rate and blood pressure. Spark Care+ 's AI (Artificial Intelligence) component analyzes the information and recommends the appropriate music to help lift the participant's spirits. It also monitors its impact on the listener.

In addition to being an inventor, Park is also a musical prodigy (天才) who has won several violin competitions, including the Florida state championship. She also plays the piano and is a math champion. The teen aspires to be an innovator and researcher in the medical field using technology and robotics. Her advice to other young scientists? “Dream big, ask questions, and anything is possible.”

Now in its 14th year, the 3M Young Scientist Challenge is an annual national competition that invites students in grades 5-8 to find a unique solution to an everyday problem. In addition to the well-renowned title of “America's Top Young Scientist”, the grand prize winner receives a special guidance of a 3M scientist, a $25, 000 cash prize, and a special destination trip. The second and third place winners each receive $1, 000 in prize money and a special destination trip.

【1】What is the function of the AI component in Spark Care+?

A．To analyze problems quickly and accurately.

B．To choose the right music for the participants.

C．To encourage participants to interact better.

D．To cure participants with appropriate music.

【2】What does the underlined word “aspires” in paragraph 4 mean?

23、   The age of adulthood is by definition arbitrary. If everyone matured at the same, fixed rate, it wouldn’t be a human process. Indeed, maturation happens at varying speeds across different categories within the same individual, so I’d say I was easily old enough to vote at 16, but nobody should have given me a credit card until I was 32, and I’ve got the county court judgment to prove it.

However, we broadly agree that there’s a difference between a child and an adult, even if we might argue about the transition point. So the political theorist David Runciman’s view that six-year-olds should be allowed to vote goes against any standard argument about the age of civic responsibility. Nobody would say that a six-year-old could be held criminally responsible, could be sent to war, could be capable of consent, could be given responsibility for anything. So allowing them the vote—along with, unavoidably, seven-year-olds who are even sillier, if anything—is quite an amusing proposal.

Runciman’s argument is that this is the only way to rebalance political life, which is currently twisted in favor of the old, who don’t (he added) ever need to demonstrate mental capacity, even long after they’ve lost it.

The first part of his case is self-evident: pensions are protected while children’s centers are closed, concepts such as sovereignty(最高权威) are prioritized over the far more urgent business of the future: climate change. Nostalgia(怀念) for a past the young wouldn’t even recognize plays a central role, which is completely unfair.

Most of the arguments against giving six-year-olds a vote are that children would end up voting for something damaging and chaotic, if someone made unrealistic promises to them, which could never be realized. Well, it’s not children’s fault.

Having said that, children do tend towards the progressive, having a natural sense of justice (which kicks in at the age of six months, psychologists have shown, by creating scenes of great unfairness to babies, and making them cry) and an underdeveloped sense of self-interest. My kid, when he was six, made quite a forceful case against private property, on the basis that, since everybody needed a house, they shouldn’t cost money, because nobody would want anyone else not to have one. Also, food should be free. It was a kind of pre-Marx communism, where you limit the coverage of the market to only those things that you wouldn’t mind someone else not having.

On that particular day, when we were registered as voters, my kid was quite far to the left of me, but in the normal run of things, we’re united, which brings us to the point of the problem: children obey you on almost nothing, but they do seem to believe in your politics until they’re adolescent. So giving kids the vote is really just a way of giving parents extra votes. And what can stop us having even more children, once there’s so much enfranchisement(选举权) in it for us?

Now, if parents could be trusted to use their influence wisely, and hammer into children the politics it will take to assure a better future, then I wouldn’t necessarily have a problem with that, apart from, obviously, that culture is already wildly twisted towards parents, and I can imagine a few non-parents boiling with fierce anger. But that’s not worth talking about anyway, because parents can’t be trusted, otherwise we’d all already vote Green(绿党).

In short: no, six-year-olds should not get the vote; but while we’re here, if any votes come up in the near future, which will have an impact on the next five decades of British political life, alongside EU migrants, 16-year-olds certainly should be enfranchised.

【1】The author refers to his age of adulthood to prove that ___________.

B. there’s a common standard for the age of adulthood

24、A sick little girl is being kept alive thanks to her best friend — a dog who carries her oxygen tank on his back. Alida’s faithful dog companion Mr Gibbs has been specially trained to shepherd the three-year-old, who breathes through a tube most of the time.

Alida was diagnosed with neuroendocrine hyperplasia of infancy（NEHI）when she was just eight months old. Her rare condition has just eight hundred documented sufferers throughout the world, and causes diseased pieces of the lungs to filter oxygen through extra layers of cells, making it hard or almost impossible to breathe.

As parents, they wanted to do something to help their daughter survive despite having a tube following her all the time._____found out about “service dogs” from a TV program and realized an animal trained to help the blind could be trained to help Alida. They finally found help in the shape of golden doodle—a retriever crossed with a poodle-dog Mr Gibbs. Now thanks to trainer Ashleigh Kinsley—Alida and Mr Gibbs love nothing more than playing and running around together with the dog acting as Alida’s life saver.
