21、 Controlling how women dress, both in and out of the workplace, is nothing new. In ancient Greece, officials ensured that women dressed"appropriately".; Strict codes(规约)were designed to remind women of their place in society. In the following thousand years, not much. has changed.
In the early 20th century, women began entering the workplace in large numbers. But only, women who worked in factories or on farms could wear trousers. ,Women, who worked in offices had to wear the skirts and jewellery expected of their, sex. In the. 1970s, women got the freedom to consider comfort and style in what they wore in the workplace. Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, women often wore trouser suits, like men do.
They wanted to break the glass ceiling and, with the popular idea of dressing, for success, they wore suits with big shoulder pads(垫肩).
Today, what women wear in the workplace has as, many varieties as the jobs women do. However traditional standards for women's appearances still remain. In 2010, the Swiss bank UBS came under fire after its dress code got known, including detailed guidelines on applying makeup(化妆品) and avoiding small shoes that might cause women to have unnatural smiles. while there’re also dress codes. for men, they mainly represent professionalism. But to dress, like a woman suggests woman are decorative in the workplace. It ignores that women have independent ideas of how they wish to present themselves.
I have never been good at dressing like a woman. Throughout my 20s, I held different jobs, and what I wore to work ranged from jeans to T-shirts. In graduate school, I first thought that, when I became. a professor,I would have to wear suits to work, to look the par of someone, with a PhD. I quickly realized that there was no standard look to this par. Now I generally teach in jeans and dress shirts.
I wear clothes that allow me to feel comfortable and confident. That's how I. choose to dress like a woman. Dress has developed with the change of the role of women in contemporary society. Dressing like a woman means wearing anything a woman considers appropriate tor getting her job done.

22、Some people find visiting ordinary museums to be a bit dull. Fortunately for them, there are unusual museums to check out, such as underwater museums!
How can you visit and what can you see?
Many underwater museums are supported by companies that offer guided tours. A trained guide leads groups around a stunning underwater display of statues in each museum. Depending on the depth of the museum, visitors may be able to view the sculptures from a glass bottomed boat or by swimming on the surface. Other underwater museums are deeper and are most accessible to scuba divers.
Why are the museums underwater?
Underwater museums have many functions. One of their aims is to create a man-made reef environment where sea creatures can live. That’s why some of the museums are located in areas that were damaged by hurricanes or are considered underwater ‘‘deserts’’. The statues in the museum are designed in a way that encourages the growth of coal and plant life. Over time, the statues and plants attract a growing number of fish to the area.
Florida, U.S.A.
Florida is home to different types of underwater museums. The state’s newest underwater museum, the Underwater Museum of Art, can be found off the coast of Grayton Beach. This part of the Gulf Mexico is an underwater desert, so creators hope that the exhibit will improve the marine ecosystem.

For years, Cancun has been a popular tourist destination. And one of the major draws is the water. The Museo Subacuatico de Arte is an ideal place for snorkelers and first-time divers. There they can enjoy more than 500 statues that help to make up a man-made reef. This museum was created to offer visitors a replacement for the areas natural reef, which has been damaged.
Canary Island, Spain

23、Some people must carefully pay attention to everything they put in their mouths in order to control their weight. By contrast, others can eat French fries to their hearts' content and achieve the same result. How do some people manage never to gain weight?
"Perception, one of the most important factors, has nothing to do with the body type because our personal feeling is always wrong. We often feel that some people who eat more don't put on weight. Actually? those who appear to eat whatever they like without gaining weight aren't eating more than the rest of us," said professor Kathleen Melanson. "For example, your friend who eats ice cream on a daily basis might eat less at another meal- or snack less throughout the rest of the day.”
“Physical activity can also make a difference, but it doesn't have to be a gym workout. There's little evidence to suggest that—without exercise-some people were born to burn significantly more calories than others," said Dr Ines Barroso, a researcher at the University of Cambridge. But there may be physical differences that allow some people to naturally control the number of calories they consume without exercising much self-regulation.
A lot of nervous system signals and hormones (激素)that circulate in our blood interact to tell us when we're hungry or full. This is called the appetite regulatory system, and it may be more sensitive in some people than others, Melanson said. One important hormone involved in this system is leptin (瘦素).It helps regulate how much food we want to eat over longer periods of time, not just for our next meal. So a person with a more sensitive system might go back for seconds and thirds at a party, then feel full for the next few days and eat less.
Genetics can also play a role in a person's tendency to gain or lose weight. Researchers have identified over 250 different regions of DNA that are associated with obesity, according to a 2019 study published in PLOS Genetics.
【1】What does the underlined word “Perception" in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Connection.
B.Sense.

【2】What do we know about leptin?
A.It makes people usually feel hungry.
B.It helps people have a better appetite.
C.It helps people regulate their food intake.
D.It makes people more sensitive to the flavour of food.
【3】What do the findings of the 2019 study show?
A.Weight problems can be avoided.
B.Losing weight is equally difficult for everyone.
C.Some people may be born to have weight problems.
D.Genes can be completely changed to avoid weight problems.
【4】What is the author's main purpose in writing the text?
A.To share some ideas about how to lose weight.
B.To explain why some people never gain weight.
C.To advise people to control their daily diet strictly.
D.To call for people to pay attention to healthy eating.
24、 There are many changes that can happen in a person’s life. Some changes are very small and would not affect your life very much. However, other events could be very important and could change a person’s whole life. The important event that changed my life is coming to the United States to study.
When first arrived in this country, I realized that a great transformation (转变) would happen in my life both physically and mentally.

For example, enjoy the American-style- meal which includes having a fresh salad instead of cooked vegetables. This method of cooking vegetables helps me absorb more vitamins from them.
Additionally, this most important change enables me to think differently and internationally. This is my first time living in North-America country. Hence, I have a brand-new chance to experience a new culture. By knowing more about different cultures, I have become more considerate and understanding of various habits as well as behaviors from different races.
