21、   England and Wales launched a COVID-19 smartphone app on Thursday, allowing users to trace contacts, check the local level of risk and record visits to places such as pubs, four months after the technology was promised to the public.

The NHS COVID-19 app comes as Britain prepares for a second wave of infections, with daily case numbers rising at rates not seen since the peak of the pandemic (流行病） and a testing system unable to cope with demand in many areas.

The government had said a COVID-19 app would arrive in May, but early trials were troubled by problems, and developers abandoned home-grown technology in favor of Apple and Google's model in June.

As the delay lengthened, the government downplayed the importance of smartphones in fighting COVID-19, saying that rather than an app being central to the test and trace system, it was "the cherry on the cake".

Health Secretary Matt Hancock, however, said that with infection rates rising, every tool available must be used to prevent the spread of the disease, including the latest technology. "We have worked extensively with tech companies, international partners, and privacy and medical experts -and learned from the trials-to develop an app that is secure, simple to use and will help keep our country safe," he said.

The app uses Bluetooth signals to record when a user is in close contact with another user, generally meaning within two meters for 15 minutes or more. If someone tests positive for COVID-19, they can choose to share the result anonymously (匿名地）with their close contacts, who will each receive a warming and will have to isolate (隔离） for 14 days.

People aged over 16 will be encouraged to download the app by advertisements with the slogan:＂Protect your loved ones. Get the app."

【1】Which word can best replace the underlined word "downplayed" in paragraph 4?

A.emphasize

B.value

C.explain

D.underestimate

【2】What can we know about the COVID-19 smartphone app from the passage?

A.The app came to market at the peak of the disease.

B.The app might help reduce the spread of the disease.

C.The app can share the testing result automatically.

D.The app is popular with teenagers in England.

【3】What can we learn from Matt's words?

A.Many hands make light work.

B.Haste makes waste.

C.One good tum deserves another.

D.Knowledge starts with practice.

24、What Are the Roots of Your Self-Esteem?

Self-esteem is a person’s subjective assessment of his or her worth to himself or herself. Self-esteem covers various beliefs about oneself (such as “I’m a failure,” and “I’m beautiful”) as well as physiological states, including sadness, joy, and shame. The more we believe that we are worthy of happiness and good things in life, the more self-fulfilled we will be.When we don’t believe that we are worthy of these things, our ability to enjoy them can suffer. 【1】

Healthy self-esteem as an adult can be a gift that you are given in your childhood. It is a blessing that most people overlook. There are so many ways that adults with high self-esteem were supported as children that resulted in them having high self-esteem. For instance, they were praised for what they had achieved. 【2】They likely experienced affection and were given enough attention. It is also possible that they excelled in studies or in sports and were admired for it by peers.

【3】 As children, many of these people were criticized harshly, yelled at, or abused in one way or another. There is also a high chance that they were given little to no attention by the adults who were supposed to care for them. In some cases, adults with poor self-esteem were often ridiculed for their shortcomings or bullied by peers.

It is common that these adults also were made to feel that in order to be appreciated they needed to be perfect. 【4】 There are people who are obsessed with their careers or hobbies because in their mind they need to tie their worthiness to something tangible. Oftentimes these people have to pretend to be something they are not just to get approval.

How you feel about yourself impacts how you live your life. People with high self-esteem tend to have better relationships than those with low self-esteem. 【5】 So if you struggle to reach out for assistance it could be rooted in your low self-esteem.

People with high self-esteem are better equipped at achieving their life goals because they have faith in themselves. They face failure too but they understand that failure or success doesn’t define them. Having high self-esteem allows you to accept yourself for who you are. Flaws and strengths, you know that these make up the essence of who you are.

Why you should work on your self-esteem

Since self-esteem is connected to how we perform in various areas of our lives, it is important to work on it. To build better relationships, careers, and health and achieve goals, you need to first understand that you are worthy of all those things.

That understanding comes from building high self-esteem. If you had a terrible childhood, it doesn’t mean you are doomed. You just have to work a little harder to build high self-esteem and it is possible. However, it isn’t easy.

There are many resources out there that can help you with simple exercises that you can do on a daily basis to achieve this. If you are struggling in many areas of your life, take a step back and evaluate the relationship you have with yourself.

How do you talk to yourself? How do you treat yourself? What do you think of yourself? Do you feel worthy of receiving good in your life or do you feel bad about the good things that happen to you? If you find yourself experiencing something good and you tell yourself “I don’t deserve this” or “I didn’t work hard enough for this,” you may have low self-esteem. And when you have that kind of negative self-talk, you self-sabotage.

A．There is also a good chance that they were spoken to respectfully.

B．When we start to doubt what’s important in life, we tend to do less of it.

C．Since self-esteem is connected to how we perform, it is important to work on it.

D．People with poor self-esteem, on the other hand, often experienced the opposite.

E．This creates an image in the mind that without accomplishment you are worthless.

F．They face failure too, but they understand that failure or success doesn’t define them.

G．High self-esteem enables you to ask for help from and support from the people around you when you need it.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Sally was only eight years old when she heard Mommy and Daddy talking about her little brother, Georgy. He was very sick and the doctors told them that only a very expensive operation could save his life. However, his family could not afford it. Sally heard Daddy say sadly, “Only a miracle (奇迹) can save him now.”

Sally went to her bedroom and found her piggy bank. She shook all the money out on the floor and counted it carefully. Then she put all the money in her pocket and made her way to a drugstore (药店). She waited patiently for the storekeeper to give her attention, but he was busy talking to another well-dressed man. Sally cleared her throat. No good. Then she took out a coin from her pocket and threw it onto the glass counter (柜台). That did it!

“What do you want?” the storekeeper asked angrily. “Can’t you see I’m talking to my brother?” “Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Sally answered back bravely. “He’s sick, and I want to buy a miracle.” “I beg your pardon,” said the storekeeper.

“My Daddy says only a miracle can save him now, so how much does a miracle cost?”

“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I can’t help you.”

“Listen, I have the money to pay for it. Just tell me how much it costs.”

Then that well-dressed man asked, “What kind of miracle does your brother need?” “I don’t know,” Sally answered. Tears started to rush into her eyes. “I just know he’s really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my family doesn’t have enough money, so I have brought all my money. I love my little brother.” “How much do you have?” asked the well-dressed man. “A dollar and eleven cents,” Sally answered. “And that’s all the money I have.”
