22、It was dawn of March 21, 2018. Gary Messina was on his morning run along New York City’8East River. Suddenly something caught his eye—a large 60-year-old man balancing on the four-foot-high fence that guarded the path from the water. As Messina got closer to the scene, the man took a step forward and slipped into the dark river below.

When Messina reached nearer, the man was struggling in the water, clearly unable to swim. Other joggers also heard the man’s cry. David Blauzvern and John Green dropped their phones and keys on land and jumped in.. “ People had called the police, but it was unclear when they’d get there,” says Green. “We just reacted. Messina joined them in the river. Just as the jumper was losing strength, Blauzvern take hold of him. The pair were about 30 yards from the seawall when Messina and Green caught up to them. They seized the man, with Blauzvern supporting his back and Messina and Green holding him up from either side. As the men made their way toward the concrete seawall that stretched for blocks in each direction, Blauzvern had an awful realization:there was no way out of the river.

By now, a crowd had gathered on land. “A rescue boat is on its way, someone yelled to them. Swimming forward was getting tougher by the minute. The jumper, who was six foot two and weighed around 260 pounds, was heavy in his rescuers’ arms. After ten minutes, they managed to get to the river’s edge. “I’ve never been so out of breath , ”says Blauzvern.

Fifteen minutes after the men had jumped into the river, the two-man rescue boat appeared. But because it couldn’t risk getting too close to the seawall, the men had to swim out to it. “I was completely out of energy at this point, “ says Blauzver. The men in the water pushed the jumper while the men in the boat pulled him up and, finally, to safety. The man they had saved was taken to the hospital for evaluation(评估). Details on his condition have not been released. As for the rescuers, each of them was at work by 10:30a. m. “I was a bit late,” admits Blauzvern, smiling. “But I had a good excuse.”

23、ESSEX — Sorrowful families in Vietnam are struggling to bring home the bodies of loved ones who died in a refrigerated truck while trying to illegally enter the United Kingdom on Oct 23. Many of the relatives of the 39 people who died in the freezing, airless vehicle are too poor to bring the bodies back to Vietnam.

Bui Huy Cuong, chairman of the people’s committee told the Guardian Newspaper that officials have visited bereaved (新近丧失亲人的) families to encourage them to receive ashes, instead of bodies, because it would be cheaper. But he said families want bodies so they can be honored in traditional funerals and are hoping the authorities will pay. “At the moment, we are not sure if the British or the Vietnamese government will take responsibility for bringing victims back to Vietnam,” he said. “Families know nothing about it. It should be clear soon which government (if any) will take responsibility …how much can British and Vietnamese governments pay, and how much will Vietnamese families need to contribute.”

The brother of 26-year-old Pham Thi Tra My told the paper his family does not want ashes. Pham Manh Cuong said, “My family wishes to bring my sister’s body back home because we all agree we want to see her for the last time.” Pham Thi Tra My was the victim who came to prominence when her final text home was made public in which she said, “Sorry, Mum. My journey abroad has not succeeded. I love you so much! I’m dying because I can’t breathe.”

Nguyen Dinh Gia, the father of another victim, Nguyen Dinh Luong, from Nghe An province, said his family also wants a body. “They did not tell me how much the transport fee is, but told us it’s costly.” he said. “We are asking for help from two governments ... We’ve had to wait for many days now and are falling into depression.”

The Vietnamese government has not commented on the repatriations (调回本国). Police in the UK and in Vietnam have made several arrests in connection with the incident that claimed the lives of 31 male and 8 female victims, of whom 10 were teenagers.

【1】What does Bui Huy Cuong mainly want to express in Paragraph 2?

A．How officials care about the bereaved families.

B．Some authorities encourage families to receive ashes.

C．How money will be raised to bring the victims back to Vietnam.

D．Families want bodies so they can be honored in traditional funerals.

【2】What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “prominence” in Paragraph 3?

A．Being likely to cause harm.

B．The state of being noticeable.

C．The quality of being pleasant or attractive.

D．Behavior acquired through frequent repetition.

【3】We know about Nguyen Dinh Luong from the news report?

A．His brother is Pham Manh Cuong.

B．He is from Nghe An province, Vietnam.

C．His family will fly to England to see his body.

D．His body will soon be brought back to Vietnam.

【4】What can be the best title for the news report?

A．39 People die in the freezing, airless vehicle

B．39 People try to illegally enter the United Kingdom.

C．Relatives struggling to take 39 UK truck death victims back to Vietnam.

D．Arrests in connection with the incident that claim 39 lives of Vietnamese.

24、   If you were like most kids, your mother must have told you there were three no-no’s when it came to your fingers: Don’t put them in an electrical outlet, don’t stick them up your nose (at least not in public), and don’t use them when you are counting. 【1】 But experts in education and cognition now believe that using your fingers to do math is not only a perfectly good idea but may even help children become superior students.

It certainly makes sense. When children count on their fingers, they take an abstract concept — mathematics — and translate it into the most basic and visual form 【2】. Even when we aren’t actually counting on figures, they still can help us on math problems.

【3】 It activates when we respond to heat, pressure, pain, or the use of a given finger.

Studying brain scans, researchers discovered that when students aged 8 to 13 work on subtraction (减法 ) equations, this region “lights up” on the scans, even if the students aren’t using their fingers. The more complex the problem is, the more activities are detected.

The connection between finger use and math ability has been proved on old-fashioned math tests as well. With their eyes closed, first graders were asked to identify which of their fingers a researcher was touching. 【4】. When college students were given the same quiz, the highest scores once again performed best on calculation tests.

So what does all this mean? For one thing, parents and teachers shouldn’t discourage children from counting on their fingers. 【5】. Memorizing the multiplication tables may help, but it is not the best option. “I would like to see interesting and creative representations of ideas.” says Jo Boaler, a professor of math education.

Recently, a series of activities have been designed to strengthen students’ perception of their fingers. Maybe in the near future, there will be only two no-no’s regarding the use of fingers.

A.There is a section of the brain, called the somatosensory finger area.

B.Researchers also stress that students simply learn better using visual tools.

C.The first two laws of fingers are as true as ever.

D.That may sound simplistic, but the researchers offer an interesting explanation.

E.Researchers found those scoring highest on the finger-ID questions scored higher on a math test.

F.Researchers are unimpressed by those students who finish quickly as well.

G.In fact, experts believe the brain is built to “see” any process with our fingers.

If I was going to keep moving forward with my company, I’d have to ______ this fear. So, I turned to Google for an ______ and I found a game called Rejection Therapy. It ______ to help you overcome your fear of rejection by ______ seeking out rejection. I loved it and ______ to have a try.
