21、Adults are happy to tell their children that crusts (面包皮) will give them curly hair, carrots will help them see in the dark, and spinach will make them strong. Even though adults know it's not totally true, they think it's good for their children's health, a study had found.
In a study about 31 per cent of adults said they once told their children the curly hair tale, and 36 per cent said they'd been told the same thing by their mother or father. Among the over-50s, almost half said they'd been promised curly hair if they ate their crusts. A quarter of the 2,000 adults questioned in the study told their children carrots would help them see in the dark. This could be true to some extent because of the high levels of vitamin A and beta-carotene in root vegetables.
Another favorite among parents is that milk will make one strong. A third surveyed said their parents told them this, and about 29 per cent said they told their children the same thing. But while there is plenty of evidence to suggest milk is good for people's health, there are also a lot of scientific papers saying it isn't.
Thanks to Popeye, spinach is also fed to children, along with the idea that it will make them strong. While there is also some truth in this one, scientists now believe it is not the iron, but the inorganic nitrates (无机硝酸盐) that improve physical power.
One in seven of the surveyed admitted telling their little ones that runner beans will make them run faster, which is nothing more than wordplay and has no basis in science. Almost one in five adults were subjected to the same tale in childhood.
Just over one in 10 parents told their children green food would turn them into a superhero, and a quarter admitted hiding vegetables in meals.
Lyndsay Jones, spokesman for Persil Washing Up Liquid, said, "It's clear that the most persuasive stories about food are passed on from generation to generation. Our research shows that the ideas continue, and we tell our kids the same things our parents told us, even if they're not always entirely true."
Crusts may not make your hair curly, but there's plenty of research that says crusts contain more of the goodness than the rest of a loaf. Hopefully, as a result of our Cook with Kids promise, more parents will be encouraged to spend time with their children in the kitchen and teach them the truth about food.
【1】We can know from Paragraph 3 that ________.
A. a third people are forced to drink milk by their parents

22、 Concentration is important for students. 【1】. With roommates or family, incoming messages, the internet and a million others, it’s easy to lose focus. Use these tips to make a personal study place perfect for concentration.
Create your quiet space
Muting (静音) your phone and not getting distracted (分散注意力) by the internet are the most important ways. 【2】. For internet distractions, consider downloading an app that can block access to the internet and keep you on track and away from social media.
【3】
Another easy way to get distracted from your study plan is realizing you need something that you forgot outside your study space. If you’re doing work on a laptop, make sure to bring your charger because a failing battery may force you to stop studying before you’ve finished. Be sure to have all of the pens, highlighters and books you will need available.【4】.
Find the right atmosphere
【5】. Students with worksheets, equations (方程式) and practice problems would probably do better with a desk or a large table so that they can spread out and access all of their materials at the same time. Students with lots of their reading may be more comfortable on a sofa or chair where they can settle in and get comfortable while they study. Make sure the environment is best for you.
A.Bring the essentials
B.Keep things organized

D.Not everyone has the same study style or assignments

23、Jobs that use both technical and creative thinking are among the fastest-growing and highest-paying ones,according to a new report from Burning Glass Technologies,a job market analytic company in Boston.
It studied millions of job postings to better understand the skills companies require. What they discovered was that many want workers with experience in such new abilities as big-data gathering and analytic, or design using digital technology.
Burning Glass came up with the term“hybrid jobs”to describe these kinds of positions,which require skills not normally found together. For example,these hybrid jobs might require people with skills in data science and advertising, or engineering and sales.“The jobs of the future don’t involve just one skill,“ says Matt Sigelman,chief manager of Burning Glass.
The company expects general job growth of about 10% between 2018 and 2028,but the hybrid jobs by 21%. What’s more,hybrid jobs pay more than positions that call for a traditional set of skills. For example, a marketing manager mastering a database program gets paid 41% more than a traditional one,with an average yearly salary of $100,000. Moreover,an engineer who improves her sales skills and becomes a consulting engineer fora software company can more than double her pay from $180,000 to $400,000.
While data shows that workers who fail to update their skills will be able to find fewer jobs, people in hybrid jobs are less likely to become out of date, with only 12% possibility of being re-placed by machine,compared with 42% for general jobs, says Burning Glass. Hybrid jobs are mostly not beginner roles,so they mainly go to workers with years of experience and,most importantly,more training after leaving college. That means workers,bosses and educators will have to think about how to better prepare people for these roles.
【1】Why did the company research into job advertisements?
A.To understand the growth of best paid workers.
B.To compare workers’ experience with new abilities.
C.To find out companies’ requirements about skills.
D.To tell the possible changes in future job market.
【2】Which of the following jobs can be hybrid?
A.Data engineer.
B.Machine operator.
C.Marketing manager.
D.Medical consultant.
【3】How much is a traditional marketing manager possibly paid every year?
A.$180,000.
B.$71,000.
C.$41,000.
D.$10,000.
【4】Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A.Future Jobs Requiring“Hybrid”Skills.
B.How to Get Trained for Jobs.
C.Tips on Finding Fastest-Growing Jobs.
D.The Jobs with Highest Pay.
24、 People have been told to stay separated — at least six feet apart— and to practice what state and local officials call “social distancing”. Some have been asked to work at home. But as people try to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus( 新型冠状病毒), the resulting chaos and fear are bringing both large and small communities closer.
Simple acts of kindness are sprouting up online and in public, as neighbors, students, teachers, and others begin to connect those who can pass this long and isolating time smoothly, and the people who may not have the means to get through.
For Jesse Farren-James, helping out has taken the form of organizing trips to the
supermarkets for supplies, and use of her membership card if anyone needs to buy large quantities. She posted the offer in a Facebook group for the community residents, and some people came and turned to her. “I just feel so lucky that I have so many people in my life to rely on and so sad that not everyone has that,” she wrote in the group. In another interview, Farren-James said the “community is coming together" and “there are so many good and amazing people” offering to help where they can.
Also, parents in Dorchester have gathered together online. In a Facebook group called DotParents, parents have been raising money to buy food and supplies for students and families in the community. Lisa Graustein has been organizing this activity. On Thursday, she used the more than $2,000 raised by neighbors to purchase food in a restaurant supply company. A group of volunteers packed the food and planned to distribute to schools for those who may need it.
“Food shortage is real in our city and this crisis is going to be severe.” Graustein said. “But here's something we can do that deal better with the hard time”. This idea is spreading. She said friends in four other states had being running similar campaigns. Next, she wants to find a way to get landlords to temporarily abandon rent for residents in financial difficulties because of the outbreak.
