21、Have you had a talk with someone, and think you are paying attention to him or her, only to realize shortly afterwards that you can’t remember what he said? Oh, perhaps you fail to focus while he is speaking and miss the message that he is trying to deliver. 【1】: TVs, radios, traffic noises, telephones, laptops and so on which can make it difficult to listen with our full attention.

But how can we listen more effectively? 【2】. Professor Jon Kabat-Zinn said, “It’s time for mindful listening to come in. Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way, with a purpose, at the present moment and non-judgmentally.”

【3】? Jon Kabat-Zinn describes three key elements of mindful listening that we can use to improve our listening skills.

First of all, be present. When we listen mindfully, our focus should be on the person we are listening to without distractions. 【4】. By doing so, we can understand a situation from someone else’s point of view. After all, we often see the world through our own experiences. Finally, listen to our own cues. Our cues are the thoughts, feelings and physical reactions that we have when we feel anxious or angry, and they can hold back ideas and perspectives that we’re uncomfortable with. Mindful listening can help us to be more aware of our cues. 【5】.

In conclusion, the rule is straightforward: simply “Listen”! Listen carefully and attentively. Pay full attention to the other person, and don’t let other thoughts, like what we are going to say next, distract us.

A．Then think in others’ shoes

B．Researchers seem to have got it

C．How can we deal with mindful listening

D．Modem life is actually full of distractions

E．But how can we apply mindful listening to our life

F．Next, reflect on the experience you’ve gone through

G．Besides, it allows us to choose not to let them ruin communication

22、Curtin University research has found a simple and affordable method to determine which chemicals and types of metals are best used to store and supply energy, in a breakthrough for any battery-run devices and technologies relying on the fast and reliable supply of electricity, including smart phones and tablets.

Lead author Associate Professor Simone Ciampi from Curtin’s School of Molecular and Life Sciences said this easy, low-cost method of determining how to produce and keep the highest energy charge in a capacitor (电容器). could be of great benefit to all scientists, engineers and start-ups looking to solving the energy storage challenges of the future.

“All electronic devices require an energy source. While a battery needs to be recharged over time, a capacitor can be charged instantly because it stores energy by separating charged ions (离子), found in ionic liquids,” Ciampi said.

There are thousands of types of ionic liquids, a type of “liquid salt”, and until now, it was difficult to know which would be best suited for use in a capacitor. What our team has done is designing a quick and easy test, able to be performed in a basic lab, which can measure both the ability to store charge when a solid electrode touches a given ionic liquid—a simple capacitor—as well as the stability of the device when charged.

“The simplicity this test means anyone can apply it without the need for expensive equipment. Using this method, researchers found that charging the device for 60 seconds produced a full charge, which did not ‘leak’ (渗漏) and begin to diminish for at least four days,” Mr Belotti said.

The next step is to use this new screening method to find ionic liquid with an even longer duration in the charged state and larger energy density.

【1】What can the new method be used to do in the future?

A．Help to choose smart phones.

B．Find materials used as energy.

C．Settle the problem of storing energy.

D．Research energy sources of the future.

【2】What was the challenge in making a capacitor?

A．Choosing the best ionic liquid.

B．Figuring out the storing ability.

C．Devising a quick and easy test.

D．Recharging a battery instantly.

【3】What does the underlined word “diminish” in paragraph 5 probably mean？

A．Charge.

B．Develop.

C．Expand.

D．Decrease.

【4】What would be a suitable title for the text?

A．Selecting ionic liquid is important in capacitor

B．An easy and cheap way to seek perfect ionic liquid for capacitor

C．Types of ionic liquid best suited for use in capacitor

D．Research has found a simple and affordable battery

23、Family Programs at the National Gallery of Art are based on a philosophy of developing observation and thinking skills, and inspiring curiosity and wonder. Please note that some programs require advance registration.

■Virtual Artful Conversations

Find out what you can discover when you spend an hour exploring a single work of art! Each month, our museum educators and special guests will lead a 60-minute guided discussion of a masterpiece from the National Gallery’s collection. Registration is required for this free program. Adults must attend the session alongside children(ages 7-12).

■Art Investigators

This free program helps children(ages 4-7) make careful observations, analyze artists’ choices, and use their imagination while exploring works of art. Led by museum educators, each program includes reading a children’s book, exploring one work of art in the galleries, and completing a simple hands-on activity. Each program is approximately 60 minutes.

■Family Workshops

Workshops provide the opportunity to explore artists’ thinking. Taught by museum educators, each workshop includes a conversation in the galleries. Family Workshops are designed for children(ages 8-11) and adults to participate in together. Workshops are free but preregistration is required. Sign-language interpretation is available for Family Workshops.

■Storytime

Together we’ll read a book aloud, move and play. We welcome all ages. The featured children’s book will be read in both English and Spanish. Advance registration is not required. Storytime is free of charge.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Out in the fields of rural Kentucky lived a young teenage girl named Amanda. She stayed with her parents in a one-story house on a large plot of land. Her closest friends were far from her, but she didn’t have her driver’s license yet. Amanda could still keep herself busy for hours by exploring the grassy fields, enjoying the natural beauty that surrounded them. On the weekends, Amanda would even volunteer on neighbouring farms to help take care of sheep, goats, and horses.

Still, it was easy for Amanda to feel lonely in her big house without any brothers, sisters, or even a pet she could relate to. That was until one day, just as Amanda was about to leave for another morning spent exploring the fields and rivers nearby, she saw a stray (流浪的) cat jump onto the porch (门廊) with a long, drawn-out meow (喵喵叫) toward her. The cat had long whiskers (须) and a black-and-white fur pattern, which seemed to start from the animal’s chest and move outward, and tiny white paws like little boots. Even though the cat looked dirty, the cat was beautiful, with bright blue eyes.

Amanda’s feeling of surprise quickly gave way to a feeling of pity. Thinking of what she could offer the cat, Amanda hurried to the kitchen and prepared two bowls: one filled with fish and the other with water. After sniffing (嗅) them carefully, the cat then began to hungrily eat the bowls’ contents. Once it finished its meal, the cat ran away into the thick grass and disappeared.

From that point onward, at the same time each day, the cat would appear on the porch in the morning and beg for food and water, and Amanda would always be there ready. Their relationship started to deepen as Amanda enjoyed regularly seeing her new “furry neighbour”. The cat was too nervous to be taken indoors, but Amanda enjoyed its company.
