21、Five strange college course

Today’s college students have the chance to take a lot of special, even strange classes. Here are some of them.

Joy of Garbage

This class may sound like a “waste”, but the joy of Garbage class at Santa Clara University researches into the science and results of what humans eat and throw away. Students follow the path of trash as it’s treated, burned, reused, and they look at the environmental problems that arise. The class even goes tolocal sanitation（卫生）factories to explore and develops green methods for modern waste problems.

Learning from YouTube

Unlike most college courses, the Learning from YouTube course of Pitzer College is open to the public. While the class is fairly open, there is one big rule: All class-work, homework and discussions must take place on YouTube. The class meetings and other documents are even posted on the video-sharing site.

Daytime Serials

Are all those afternoon classes preventing you from staying up to date with "Days of Our Lives"? No worries. Just sign up for the University of Wisconsin’s Daytime Serials course. Students in this class watch daytime plays, discuss their storiesand study the social effects of men's and women's roles on the family and the workplace.

Superheros

How do you change physics into a more exciting subject? The University of California does so by studying the science behind superheroes like Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman. For example, students examine the physics of flying by studying Spider-Man.

Fat Studies

The Fat Studies course at George Washington University teaches students to think of body size critically(批判性地). It has a goal of developing weight acceptance among people of all shapes and sizes.

【1】What can students from the Joy of Garbage class do?

A．Join social practice to solve waste problems.

22、You’re faced with a lot of decisions in everyday work. There are multiple tasks calling for your focus, and you are burning daylight or even burn out trying to decide what comes first. 【1】

If you’re going to think smarter about how you prioritize (排序) tasks, you have to invest a little time away from your to-do list. Here’s the thing: what you work on confirms your values. You may think it’s no big thing to work overtime for a little while, but something will be sacrificed with this decision. If you’re a parent, you might spend less time with your kids. Similarly, if you choose not to work much or effectively, you’re deciding that your values lie outside your career. 【2】

Write all the tasks down and create four boxes containing all of things you care about. This could be: helps the community, helps one-to-one relationships, makes money, and things you find personally fulfilling. Then place them in the boxes and see how many of the boxes each one takes up. Anything that fills just one box has to be reconsidered. Anything that fills nothing should not be considered at all. 【3】From here, the rest of the prioritization gets a little easier. You now have a better idea where the efforts are really paying off. You also know when you are wasting your own time.

In order to figure out a plan for yourself, the first thing you should be doing is gathering all of your tasks, large and small. 【4】 Other people are counting on you or your future self will depend on them somehow. These are actually easier to prioritize. Then break down large tasks into smaller pieces. That helps put things in order. Part of the reason we do the small things first is that being productive feels good. Acknowledging accomplishments makes you more likely to keep going and pushes you through the more complicated tasks.

【5】 Notice when your energy levels are high and when they are weak. Be aware when you’re more productive for social activities and when you’re better off. The more you study yourself, the easier planning becomes.

Now that you have your priorities in order, go ahead and you will boost your productivity.

A．You can also prioritize based on energy levels.

B．The good news is that some tasks can keep you motivated.

C．So how can you figure out what’s most important to work on first?

D．This activity allows you to see where you really want to invest your energy.

E．If you want to make a new list, you need to turn to your colleagues for help.

F．There are some tasks that are pretty straightforward and you need to do the thing.

G．Where you invest your time is not just about what you value but also what you don’t value.

23、Earlier this week the online UK supermarket Ocado told its customers that it had “limited ability” to deliver ice ream. Why? Because the price of natural gas has increased greatly, which has hit the supply of CO2 in the UK. And that has led to a cut in the supply of dry ice that supermarkets use to keep food cool in their delivery vans (小型货车). So no ice cream.

This mini crisis has been fairly quickly resolve, for now at least. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t worry. This incident serves as a timely reminder of just how reliant we are on fossil fuels. Despite our optimistic enthusiasm for wind and solar power, one way or another oil and gas use is shot through every part of our economic and social lives. That will be the case for many decades to come.

In his recently updated book There is No Planet B, Mike Berners-Lee lays out the challenge. When we talk about shifting from fossil fuels to clean energy of one kind or another, we aren’t discussing taking the amount of energy we use now and producing that amount in a different way. Instead, our target is always on the move. The more energy we can get our hands on, the more we use—even if our use of it becomes more efficient.

Energy usage is going to keep rising, while energy transitions (转变) tend to both take a very long time and never actually end. We just pile new sources on top of old. The world still uses much the same amount of traditional biomass (wood etc) as it did 100 years ago. We are running to stand still. This will change. But not as fast as you might like to think. In 2019, 33 percent of our new power generation needs were met by renewable energy. That’s a start. But 40 percent were met by natural gas.

There’s urgency here of course—which might speed things up. But there is something else that might slow us down. It didn’t take much to move people to fossil fuels—they are relatively easy to extract, relatively easy to transport, hugely energy dense and efficient and, of course, cheap. Until their externalities were understood, who could possibly have objected? Our current transition is different: people and companies will switch not because the new sources are easier to access, cheaper or more energy dense but because regulation mandates that they must.

Either way, the truth is that whether we like it or not our energy transition involves long term reliance on fossil fuels. That means we should stop demolishing them. Instead, we should focus on making their extraction cleaner and more efficient while we wait for the engineering challenges around a renewables-led future to be solved.

If we don’t do this—if we allow ourselves to be beguiled by the idea that solar is so advanced that we no longer need filthy fuels to have ice cream, we, will find the future held back by needlessly expensive energy—and almost certainly ice-cream free.

【1】What do the first two paragraphs mainly show?

A．The necessity for traditional fuels.

B．Our enthusiasm for clean energy.

C．The seriousness of energy crisis.

D．UK’s dependence on dry ice.

【2】According to Mike Berners-Lee, ______.

A．we have more types of energy on hand

B．the use of energy becomes more efficient

C．energy transition is far from being realized

D．we are closer to the aim of replacing fossil fuels

【3】The underlined word “demolising” in Paragraph 6 can be replaced by ______.

A．wasting

B．devaluing

C．distributing

D．justifying

【4】What is the writer’s attitude toward the transition to the renewable energy?

A．Indifferent.

B．Defensive.

C．Disapproving.

D．Cautious.

24、The Best Way to Nap

A study published in the journal Heart found a link between healthy napping (打盹) and a lowered risk of heart disease. The American Psychological Association points out that naps can improve memory,learning capacity and mood. Sara Med nick,PhD,a neuroscience at the University of California explains that when you fall asleep, your body moves through stages that each play a role in health. Ideal napping times are based around this four-stage cycle.

Not a regular napper? That’s OK. “Everyone needs to rest, but not everyone necessarily needs to nap,” says Med nick.

【1】During which phase may you have a dream?

A．Stage1.

B．Stage2.

C．Stage3.

D．Stage 4.

【2】How long may the first 3 stages last?

A．A quarter.

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。

Ollie Simmons was good at maths, but Ruby Riley wasn’t. Well, Ruby didn’t think she was. She sat next to Ollie and so she just copied him. This was the best way she had found to do maths and she didn’t have to think at all.

One day the teacher said, “We will be having a maths test after lunch.” Ruby felt there was a moth moving its wings inside her. “Can I copy off you?” she whispered to Ollie. Ollie thought for a minute. “What will you give me?” he whispered back. Ruby showed Ollie a stone she had. It was round and smooth and the colour of the sea. “OK!” he said, “Give me the stone, and then you can copy me.” Ollie Simmons got one hundred percent in the maths test and so did Ruby. Their names went on the top of the maths champs chart.

Every week there was a maths test and every week Ollie Simmons and Ruby Riley got one hundred percent. Ollie had to share the top place with Ruby, but it was worth it. He had a torch, a key chain, a golf ball and a gift box!

One day, there was a maths test again. This time, Ruby picked a watch, thinking everything would go as usual—Ollie would let her copy and they would go on the top of the chart together again. But she was wrong. The headmaster came into Ruby’s class. “I want to see Ollie Simmons,” she said. Ollie was gone for a long time. Then the door opened. It was the headmaster again. “Ruby Riley,” she said, “Come with me, please.” Ruby felt like a bird in a cage—there was no way to escape. The headmaster told Ruby that every lunchtime for five weeks she had to do maths. “You have to learn to think for yourself,” she said. “And Ollie has to learn a lesson, too. He’s going to teach you.”

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
