21、I lost my phone when I was on holiday four months ago. With no phone to use on my way back to Milan, I decided to buy a book at the airport before boarding the plane. There was a discount on Stephen Hawking’s Brief Answers to the Big Questions, and while not necessarily an easy read for the non-reader I was at the time, it touched on some of the subjects I m most passionate(感兴趣的) about so I decided it was worth the £5.99. I paid for it. To my great surprise, I read the whole book on that two-hour return flight — and so my love for reading began. I was confused. Before then, I used to buy books fairly often, hoping I’d read them, knowing months would go by and I wouldn’t even open them. So I wondered. What was different this time? After carefully analysing the situation, I came up with an explanation.
Now I realise, most books on my reading list as a child came from one of three places: suggested books, school books, and “to read before you die” books. As a kid, I didn’t have much experience when it came to books or reading. So when I decided to pick up a book, I thought these were the ones I should read and I believed I would surely enjoy them. Then I ended up thinking of myself as someone that simply didn’t like reading.
It is obvious, in hindsight(在事后看来), that I actually really enjoyed reading. The few times I got to skim through a book that felt right, I would devour (如饥似渴地读) the whole thing in a matter of hours.
Many people approach reading in the wrong way, so they finally end up disliking it the way I did. Keep on reading books you don’t like, and you’ll eventually convince yourself it is reading you don’t like. So just make sure, you are reading books that touch on subjects you are actually passionate(热爱) about — don’t be scared to create your unique bookshelf.

23、 We all know about the health benefits of swimming. It offers a great workout to the body — it builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular (心血管的) fitness. 【1】 Many people feel that swimming is very exciting and relaxing.
Cold-water swimming — sometimes called wild swimming — involves swimming in natural areas including ponds, rivers and the sea. Jumping in cold water gives a short sharp shock to the body. 【2】 A cold dip might wake you up, but research has found it can have much bigger benefits than those for your body and mind. As well as being good exercise, cold-water swimming improves well-being.
【3】 One man who suffered constant pain after surgery claimed he was cured by taking a swim in cold open water. And another swimmer, Sandria Simons, told the BBC “the immersion of your body in cold, salt water, just feeling like you’re at one with nature if you like, just feels amazing.”
What is it that people are gaining from this cold experience? Doctors say getting into cold water makes a stress response, but the more you do it, your reaction to stress is reduced. 【4】 In addition, cold-water swimming can exercise swimmers’ willpower. But there are bigger benefits of this stress-reducing exercise. Some experts believe cold-water swimming helps “cross-adaptation”, where one form of stress prepares the body for another. 【5】
So, if you’re convinced that this is for you, take advice: approach it with caution, swim with a friend, and maybe start in summer, when the water temperatures are higher.

24、The United States is "neck- and- neck" with China in the race to develop an effective coronavirus vaccine, Johns Hopkins University health policy and management professor Dr. Marty Makary told "Special Report" Wednesday. "There are 70 vaccines in different stages of development," said Makary, a Fox News contributor. "There are seven that are being given in patients right now. We're sort of neck- and-neck with China - we've got three, they've got three."
Makary added that the Chinese vaccines "are actually in further stages of development. Their drugs are in phase two or three, and it's a real race. The country that gets there first will have a significant advantage because they will control the supply for the rest of the world and the risk is if we aren't there first, we could get locked out." The professor concluded that the search for a vaccine was "moving along," but added that "it will probably take a year" before such a treatment becomes widely available.
Earlier Wednesday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government's top infectious-disease expert and a member of President Trump's coronavirus task force, touted(吹捧)the drug remdesir(瑞德西韦) for its "clear-cut significant positive effect in reducing the time to recovery," as reflected in new data. Makary said that while the National Institutes of Health study shows only a 31 percent reduction rate in recovery time, it could prove to be significant. "One thing to remember," Makary cautioned about remdesivir, "it's not a silver bullet." It reduces the severity and probably increases recovery but also, this is an IV(静脉注射) medication, it's not something you can go to the pharmacy tonight and pick up." In the U.S., remdesivir is still awaiting regulatory approval as a coronavirus treatment, but Makary said it is likely to receive emergency authorization from the Food and Drug Administration "as early as this evening”.
【1】What does the underlined word “neck-and-neck" mean?
A.work together

D.be enemies
【2】What is American's challenge according to Makary's statement?

B.Give patients more vaccines for treatment.

A.It can reduce the time to recovery.
B.People can't purchase it easily in drug stores.
C.It has been used as a coronavirus treatment.
D.It has a significant effect in treating coronavirus.
【4】Which would be the best title for this passage?

B.Remdesivir can be the treatment for coronavirus vaccines.
C.Remdesivir need the regulatory approval.
D.Coronavirus vaccines should be developed soon.
