21、I never imagined that someone telling me I looked skinny would anger me. And yet, I was made very angry when a colleague pinched my waist and screamed, “Rosa, you’ve lost weight. You look great.” In The truth is that I was tired and not taking care of myself. I decided to start a proper weight-loss program.

The first to go would be road rage. I am in far less control of this weight than any other. Every time something gets in my path, I fly off the handle. I need to lose the road rage, and fast! No, no more speed. Instead, I now repeat the words: “I am not in a hurry.” This year, I will drive safely, allowing “stupid” to happen all around me. From that, I hope to gain patience.

Next is guilt. When guilt drives my conscience to do better, it’s functional. But when it presents itself as an internal dialogue that goes nowhere, it’s useless. This year, I want to stop feeling guilty for not keeping a cleaner house, for spending time away from my children to be with friends, for not attending every party because I’d rather be at home, or for watching TV when I should be reading. My image and performance are not at the front of anyone else’s mind but my own. From this, I hope to gain freedom to be myself.

The last is fear. Fear has held me back. Fear of failure has prevented me from being a writer. Fear of embarrassment has prevented me from giving an opinion. Fear of rejection has stopped me from aiming higher in my life. Fear of regret has led me into situations that made me uncomfortable. If I can lose any one of these fears, I stand to gain experience.

So, if I can lose the rage, shake off some guilt, and take fear off my plate, I stand to gain patience, freedom, and experience. Pound for pound I have not lost a thing but I will be much lighter. Next time, I hope my colleague looks me in the eye to see my glow instead of pinching part of me that has nothing to do with how great I really look.

【1】What does the underlined part “fly off the handle” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Pick up speed.

B．Drive off.

C．Feel quite nervous.

D．Become very angry.

【2】What has made the author feel guilty before?

A．Attending too many parties.

B．Reading much with her children.

C．Wasting her time in watching TV.

D．Spending little time with her friends.

【3】How has fear affected the author?

A．It has prevented her achieving her goals.

B．It has stopped her furthering her education.

C．It has made it difficult for her to make friends.

D．It has caused her to quit her dream of being a teacher.

【4】What does the author expect to gain from her weight-loss program?

A．Respect.

B．Independence.

C．Optimism.

D．Tolerance.

22、5 Birthday Traditions from Around the World

The Western idea of celebrating a birthday with cake and candles has certainly caught on in other parts of the world, but many cultures have long-standing traditional ways to celebrate that don’t involve a sugar rush. 【1】

Many of them are more traditional and unbelievable than a reality, but if you happen to be in Germany and see a group of men with a broom on the steps of city hall, you’ll at least know what they’re doing.

1. Canada: Nose Grease

On the Atlantic side of Canada, birthday boys and girls are sometimes “attacked” and their noses are greased(涂抹), usually with butter, to ward off bad luck. 【2】

“It was good luck as much as torture(折磨) as I remember it.” We would imagine so!

2. China: Long Noodles for Longevity

Chinese birthday tradition maintains that one should symbolize their longevity by eating a plate of long noodles often mixed with fried eggs. 【3】

3. Germany: 【4】

When single men in Germany turn 30, an old tradition is for them to sweep the steps of their local city hall as their friends toss rubble onto them. The ordeal, meant to embarrass, is supposed to carry on until the birthday boy is able to plant one on a passing woman. Also, as this author personally found out recently, you buy the drinks for your friends on your birthday, unlike in the States where it is the other way around.

4. Ireland: Hit the Deck

Think the Irish had a few when coming up with this one? Tradition maintains that a child is held upside down and is  “bumped” (举放) on the floor, once for every year of their age plus one for good luck. 【5】

5. Jamaica: Modern Day Antiquing

Just like that one friend you had in college, Jamaicans think pouring flour onto their friends is fun. Regardless of age, tradition calls for the birthday boy or girl to be “antiqued,” or covered with flour, by friends and family, either at an organized party or as part of a surprise.

A．Giving the City Hall a thorough cleaning

B．Sweeping the Streets of the City Hall

C．It is believed that in Pictou “the butter got worse as you got older”.

D．Everyone present hopes to become lucky by sharing the noodles.

E．It is really dangerous for a child to be lifted in such a way.

F．We’re guessing lawyers would have something to say about this in the United States!

G．Obviously, the practices found in the list below are not entirely representative of the preferences of every household or individual.

23、In our hyper-connected world, information is being collected and shared every nanosecond. The problem is that your personal information might be used against you in the future in ways you can’t imagine today. So what do you have to worry about, and what can you do to protect yourself?

If you’re worried about your personal information getting lifted...

Don’t hand over your name, address, phone number, or email address unless the receiver really needs it. If pressed, you can always make something up. Opt a paper receipt or no receipt rather than getting one via text or email, which requires sharing your information and exposes you to possible data loss.

If you prefer that your Internet searches stay private...

Browse (浏览) with Firefox. Its privacy controls are stronger than other big-name browsers. Or use DuckDuckGo, and alternate service you can easily set as your default (默认) search partner at duckduckgo.com.

If you’re worried about your phone acting as a tracker...

Turn off Location Services for all apps except maps and others that specifically need to know where you are. You can do this in Settings, under Privacy and Location.

If you want companies to stop trying to sell you things...

Stop ads from tracking you by opting out of information collecting. The website simpleoptout.com is a good place to start. You can also add your phone number to the National Do Not Call Registry at 1-888-382-1222 or donotcall.gov.

If you’re worried about being tagged (标记) in photos on social media...

Tell friends you don’t want to be tagged, and opt out of being automatically tagged in other people’s Facebook photos by going to Settings, then Face Recognition.

Always keep in mind that Internet is not a private place and your privacy is not just about freedom from embarrassment. Although you can’t prevent all Internet spying, you can minimize some unwanted spying by taking these steps.

【1】Which of the following will most possibly reveal your personal information?

A．Looking for information with Firefox.

B．Receiving a receipt through text messages.

C．Switching off Location Services in Settings.

D．Giving your address to the receiver who needs it.

【2】If you don’t want to be disturbed by ads, you can ________.

A．avoid using simpleoptout.com

B．refuse a call from 1-888-382-1222

C．delete your history from DuckDuckGo

D．register your phone number at donotcall.gov

【3】The passage is intended to ________.

A．give advice

B．introduce websites

C．show worries

D．explain social media

24、   “Now I just don’t believe that.” Surely all of us, at some point, have watched a movie and thought: It’s simply badly researched, or, the makers must think we’re idiots.

The British newspaper TheDailyTelegraph ran a humorous piece on unconvincing tech moments from some top movies. Let’s see what they are all about.

TheDailyTelegraph writer Tom Chivers’ first example is from the end-of-the-world movie IndependenceDay, in which a character comes up with a virus which destroys Windows, the computer system the alien spacecraft uses. “It’s a good thing they didn’t have Norton Anti-virus,” jokes Chivers.

It’s just one case of a movie that takes a lot of license with its science. Another one Chivers mentions is from StarWars, where glowing beams of light traveling through space look very impressive. But the problem is that in space there are no air particles for the light to reflect off. In reality, they’d be invisible, which wouldn’t look so cool on the big screen.

Chivers’ second piece of StarWars nonsense is the sound the fighters make in the movies:“the bellow (咆哮) of an elephant mixed with a car driving on a wet road”. But sound needs a medium to travel through, like air. In space, there wouldn’t actually be any sound at all.

Few people would deny that the mind-bending Matrix films are made for great viewing, but for Chivers, the science in the movies is a little silly.

And finally, as Chivers points out, DNA is not replaceable. But this bit of elementary genetics passed the makers of the 2002 Bond film DieAnotherDay by. In the film the bad man has “gene therapy” to change his appearance and his DNA, which is completely impossible in our real world.

【1】What does the passage mainly deal with?

A．Plots of some famous movies.

B．Characters in space movies.

C．Popularity of space movies.

D．Mistakes made in some movies.

【2】What does the underlined word “they” refer to in the second paragraph?

A．The newspapers.

B．Unconvincing tech moments.

C．Some top movies.

D．Heroes in the movies.

【3】As there is no air particles in space, ________.

A．light looks very impressive

B．light seems like glowing beams

C．glowing beams cannot be seen

D．light can’t travel through space

【4】What can we know from the sixth paragraph?

A．Most people like Matrix films.

B．Most people suspect the truth of Matrix films.

C．Few people enjoy viewing Matrix films.

D．Chivers thinks science is not acceptable.
