21、   If you visit Uluwatu temple in Bali, be cautious. The long-tailed temple monkeys there are well-known thieves. Since a long time ago, they have made a living by robbing visitors of their possessions and then holding those objects until a ransom in the form of food is paid. But Jean-Baptiste Leca of the University of Lethbridge, in Canada, wondered whether these monkeys are cleverer still. Sometimes, they do not accept the first offer and hold out for more. He therefore asked himself whether they are able to assess how valuable an object is to its owner, and factor that into their negotiations.

Dr. Leca and his colleagues conducted their experiment by wandering around the temple with video cameras, recording the activities of the monkeys. Every time they saw a monkey show interest in a particular tourist? they recorded the interaction. To work out what was going on, they had first to establish the relative values of food rewards to monkeys, and of stealable objects to people.

To confirm which stealable objects are most valued by people, they divided them into six classes: empty containers, such as phone cases and plastic bottles; accessories (搭配物) such as hairpins and key rings; hats and shoes; spectacles and sunglasses; and electronics and wallets. They then observed how often victims bothered to bargain with the thief for the return of property belonging to different classes, and thus classified objects into low value, medium value and high value.

They found that monkeys do, indeed, have a complicated sense of what they are doing — at least, adults and sub-adults do. These animals have a preference for stealing high-value items, and will often hold out either for more rewards, or for better ones, if they are in possession of such items. But this is something that they have to learn how to do as they grow up. Young monkeys make no such distinctions, and sub-adults are less good at doing so than adults.

【1】What is the purpose of Leca's research?

A.To prove monkeys are cleverer than men.

B.To find out what is valuable for monkeys.

C.To record the negotiations between monkeys.

D.To make sure monkeys can judge item values.

【2】What does the underlined word "ransom" in Paragraph 1 mean?

A.Bilk. B.Reward. C.Tax. D.Rent.

【3】How are the values of objects classified in Paragraph 3?

A.By the material of objects. B.By the preference of victims.

C.By the buying price of objects, D.By the frequency of bargaining.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.Young monkeys can evaluate items. B.All monkeys prefer high-value items,

C.Monkeys have a simple sense of acts. D.Monkeys' stealing is an acquired skill.

22、“I’ll be back later, Lily. I know you can manage the store on your own.” Lily’s father said reassuringly as he walked towards the front door. Lily saw his eyes beaming with pride. She was thankful that her father continued to shower her with love after all the trouble she had caused him.

Lily loved climbing trees. She could not remember the countless times she ended up with a broken arm. She was scolded occasionally by her teachers for being late for school. Once, just to make herself feel good, she challenged a few boys in her class to a race, which landed her in trouble with the discipline master for coming up with the idea and not thinking of their safety in the school.

Lily was well-known among the neighbours. Surprisingly, it was not for her troubles. There were instances in which she gave items in their store for free to the needy in the neighbourhood. As she did not think it was necessary to inform her father, she did the kind act quietly. However, she forgot one thing—the cameras in the store.

No sooner had her father left than Lily saw an elderly lady coming into the store, looking tired. Slowly the woman went to a corner and took a small packet of rice. She took some cash from her purse and spoke softly, “This is all I have. Is it enough?” Lily smiled. She was short of two dollars.Lily did not want to disappoint her and thought of something. Then she said, “I think it is enough since we are having a discount today on this packet of rice.” The woman gazed at Lily, relieved.

One hour later, Lily’s father came back and looked at Lily, expressionless. Oh no, Lily thought. Did he know what I just did? Lily wondered what her father would say to her for giving a discount without his approval. Unexpectedly, he gave her a hug and said. “That’s my girl! I know you’ll make me proud one day.” His words really meant a lot to her. She was determined to mend her ways and make her parents proud.

23、Just like happiness and sadness, anxiety is part of everyone's lived experience—but it's not always tolerated as such. “People often spend too much time and effort trying to rid anxiety,” says Dr Joel Minden, a clinical psychologist. “I encourage them to remember that anxiety is a normal emotional response.”

If you try to banish anxiety, all you're doing is putting it more at the forefront of your mind. But if you accept anxiety as part of life, you can learn to relate to it with self-pity or even with humour. This is a cornerstone of acceptance and commitment therapy(ACT), which has been gaining clinical validation, including by the American Psychological Association. ACT guides people to see their unpleasant emotions as just feelings and to accept that parts o£ life are hard. Sufferers are encouraged to begin a dialogue with anxious thoughts, examining their causes while also keeping in mind their personal goals and values.

This way of relating to anxiety has been a powerful strategy for John Bateman, the 52- year-old host of the podcast Our Anxiety Stories. When negative thoughts arise, he acknowledges them but doesn't let them drive his decisions. Over the years, Bateman has noticed that if he submits to his thoughts, they don't go away but dramatically increase. But if he recognizes them for what they are, just a passing thought and not a fact that needs to be acted on, they gradually go away.

Learning to live with anxiety is an individual process and one that requires trial and error to get just right. While acceptance is the first and most important step to take, some lifestyle changes have been proven to take the edge off, as well. Since tiredness, increased tension and stress leave us much easier to fall into anxiety, a well-balanced diet, sufficient rest and, especially, regular exercise can help us manage it better.

【1】What may Dr Joel Minden agree about anxiety?

A．It goes hand in hand with joy.

B．It should be seriously taken.

C．It is easily-earned experience.

D．It is often improperly treated.

【2】What can explain the underlined word “banish” in Paragraph 2?

A．Ignore.

B．Hide.

C．Recognize.

D．Control.

【3】Why does the author mention John Bateman in Paragraph 3?

A．To explain a strategy.

B．To describe a phenomenon.

C．To present a successful case.

D．To introduce a public figure.

【4】What is advised to deal with anxiety in the last part?

A．Concentrating on the process.

B．Making lifestyle adjustments.

C．Avoiding exposure to pressure.

D．Learning to get things in place.

24、Gentle sound stimulation, also known as pink noise, may significantly enhance deep sleep in older adults and improve their ability to recall words, a new study has found.

Deep sleep is critical for memory consolidation. However, beginning in middle age, deep sleep decreases substantially, which scientists believe contributes to memory loss in aging. The sound stimulation significantly enhanced deep sleep in participants and their scores on a memory test. “This is an innovative, simple and safe non-medication approach that may help improve brain health,” said Phyllis Zee, professor at Northwestern University in the US. “This is a potential tool for enhancing memory in older populations and attenuating normal age-related memory decline,” said Zee.

Zee and a team of researchers gathered 13 adults, 60 and older, and monitored their sleep in a lab for two nights. On both nights, the participants took a memory test, went to bed while wearing headphones and a special cap, and took another memory test in the morning. But without the participants’ awareness, researchers only played pink noise into the headphones on one night. More specifically, they timed the sounds to match the participants’ slow-wave oscillations. During deep sleep, brain waves slow to about one oscillation per second, compared to about ten oscillations per second during wakefulness. The system they employed in the study allowed the team to deliver a low burst of pink noise at the “precise moment” when the participants’ slow waves rose — a pattern that is unique to each person.

The study found that participants’ slow waves increased after the night of sound stimulation, suggesting that they were getting more deep sleep. And on the morning after hearing pink noise, they performed three times better on memory tests than they did after sleeping without any sound stimulation.

Previous research showed pink noise during deep sleep could improve memory consolidation in young people. But it has not been tested in older adults. The new study targeted older individuals and used a novel sound system that increased the effectiveness of the sound stimulation in older populations.

The study was a relatively small one, so further research is needed to confirm its findings and to study how longer-term use of pink noise affects sleep. But Northwestern has taken steps to patent the researchers’ technology, which seems to have hit upon a way to stimulate slow waves at the right moment. The team hopes to develop an affordable device that people can use at home, from the comfort of their beds.

【1】The new study mainly reveals that _____.

A．deep sleep consolidates old adults’ memory

B．pink noise boosts memory among the elderly

C．sleep disorders play a key role in memory loss

D．sound stimulation increases the length of sleep

【2】The word “attenuating” in the second paragraph most probably means _____.

A．worsening

B．reversing

C．slowing down

D．bringing about

【3】What can be learned about the new study?

A．It employed a sound system programmed in step with brain waves.

B．It compared the effects on older adults and on younger populations.

C．It repeated the experiment several times without the participants’ notice.

D．It adjusted the participants’ slow-wave oscillations to match the stimulations.

【4】It can be inferred that the approach used in the study _____.

A．may put old adults in risk in the long run

B．has the potential to be applied in practice

C．requires an innovative and affordable device

D．needs Northwestern’s patent for confirmation

25、I went to the beach nearby for some quality time with myself. After a ________ week, all I wanted was a book and a good snack. It was a lovely time watching kids ________ playing in the water, building sandcastles and sharing ________ with their families.

After a few hours, as I was leaving , I noticed a little girl playing by herself on the beach. She had built a little ________ with a moat（护城河）around it and was now trying to fill the canal with ________.

Unfortunately, there was no container around to carry water. She was playing________, unlike most of the other kids. She would go to the waves,________ her hands and then walk back to her little castle.________not much of the water was making it to the moat. But she kept trying and was still smiling and hopeful. I so wished I could help her out, but I didn’t have a container with me.

As I was standing there watching her, feeling ________, I had an aha moment. I realized that I had a bottle of water in my bag. I quickly ________ in, took it out, and handed it to her.

Confused at first, she smiled but shook her head ________. I reassured her that it would make getting the water much faster. She finally took it from my hands after I insisted. Not wanting her to feel ________, I walked off the beach right away, glancing back just once to see her running over to the sea merrily, equipped with a ________ in hand.

In the larger scheme of things, it was a ________ gesture.

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

The e-mail request came in to Ekiben restaurant in Baltimore late on a Thursday afternoon in March: tempura broccoli(天妇罗花椰菜). The man who sent the e-mail didn't actually want the food itself. He was writing on behalf of his mother-in-law, who adored the dish. He went on to explain that she was now in the final stages of lung cancer at her home in Vermont and that he was hoping to get the recipe to make it for her there.

Steve Chu, one of the Asian restaurant's co-owners, read the e-mail and quickly replied with an alternative suggestion. "Thanks for reaching out." he wrote. "We'd like to meet you in Vermont and make it fresh for you."

Brandon Jones, the son-in-law, was shocked. He e-mailed back, saying, "You do know that this is Vermont we're talking about, right?" said Brandon. But Steve responded, "No problem. You tell us the date, time, and location and we'll be there."

For the past six years, every time Brandon's mother-in-law visited Baltimore, the first place she wanted to go was Ekiben so she could have that broccoli. "I really wanted her to have it one more time," Brandon said.

"She had always told us, 'When I'm on my deathbed, I want to have that broccoli,'" recalled Brandon's wife. Rina Jones.
