22、The world has spent a long time living with the pandemic. But many people have become lazy about protecting their safety. Are you spending time indoors and unmasked with trusted friends? Or eating in restaurants or making more trips to the grocery store? New types of COVID-19 mean you should try to cut back on exposure. And where you can, double down on basic safety. 【1】. .
Wear masks
The N95 mask is the gold standard. It may cost too much or be hard to find. A cloth mask does a good job of filtering particles that cause infection. 【2】 — two cloth layers with a filter in the middle. Double masking is the best answer when you find yourself around strangers. The KF94 mask is a good bet.
【3】
If you go to the store two or three times a week, cut back to once a week. If you have been spending 30 to 45 minutes in the grocery store, cut down your time in the store. 【4】. If you are waiting in line, be mindful of staying at least six feet apart from the people ahead and behind you. Try using delivery services or curbside pickup.
Spend less time indoors with people who are not from your household. If you must spend time with others, wear your best mask. Be sure any space is well ventilated (通风)(open windows and doors). Keep the visit as short as possible. 【5】
The coronavirus vaccine may or may not be the solution. As of now, you are the best answer. Take care. Do not let your guard down!
A.Wash your hands frequently
B.Spend less time with others
C.The best mask has three layers
D.Don’t stay outdoors alone for a long time
E.If the market is crowded, come back later
F.It is still best to minimize your social activities
G.Here are two important ideas about how to stay safe
23、A bunch of small but hungry bugs might hold the key to saving the planet thanks to their amazing ability to eat polystyrene (聚苯乙烯) — the material behind plastic foam (泡沫). These, so-called “superworms” could one day help rid landfills of this waste and thus put a dent in on of the drivers of global warming.
Chris Rinke and other researchers from the University of Queensland in Australia ate, studying the larvae of the darkling beetle (甲虫)-or zophobas morio, its scientific name. They found the insects could survive on poystyrene alone, and in 66.7% of cases, finally transform into beetles on that relatively poor diet.
The secret lies in the stomach of these “superworms”, specifically their microbiomes (微生物群). The scientists studied how the larvae break down piles of plastic waste humans produce. The insects produce enzymes (酶) as they destroy the white stuff.
“We could have large worm farms with millions of worms and feed them polystyrene. Buy, what scales are better, and what is also cheaper, are to focus on the enzymes,” Rinke said.
The ultimate goal, he says, would be to reproduce these enzymes in a lab. “Polystyrene waste, which is a rather low-value product, goes through this biological breakdown using the enzymes, a crucial factor, and then you can feed it to microbes to then produce something like bioplastic, which is actually a higher-value product. So then you would break the cycle of waste,” he explained.
“I was on a vacation with my wife on a tropical island somewhere thousands of miles away from any continent and there’s plastic. So plastic is really everywhere. It’s obvious there’s no escape. Thus I decided to do some research on reducing the pollution,” Rinke recalled.
【1】Which has the closest meaning to the underlined phrase “put a dent in”?
A.Give birth to.
B.Dig a hole in.
C.Go through.
D.Cut down.
【2】What can we know from Paragraph 2.?
A.Larvae only feed on polystyrene.
B.Larvae are an early stage of the beetles.
C.Larvae are a kind of microbiomes.
D.Larvae break down human wastes.
【3】Which is critical in the whole process in breaking the cycle of waste?
A.Plastic.
B.Enzymes.
C.Bioplastic.
D.Polystyrene.
【4】What inspired Rinke to do the research?
A.His wife’s opinion.
B.Huge financial.
C.A vacation on an island.
D.The government’s request.

To: “The Shoe People” <inquiries@shoepeople.com> From: “John Trimbald” jtconstruction@img.com To Whom it May Concern, I have trusted the Shoe People to protect the feet of my employees for over ten years now. I recently purchased a few pairs of boots from your company for my crew. Though my men were initially satisfied with the boots, the soles(鞋底) began to fall apart on them after just twelve weeks. This was extremely surprising considering they came with a six year warranty(担保). The boots are unsafe to wear because my men are pouring hot concrete. Please respond as soon as possible with instructions on how I can return the boots and receive a refund. Thank you, John Trimbald, Foreman, JT Construction |

To date we have had no complaints about these workboots from customers who have used the protector spray. However, should you use the spray and find that you are still unsatisfied with the boots, please return the boots and spray for a full refund. Thank you for supporting The Shoe People.

25、-Would you please buy me a bright paper package when you go shopping?
- _________.
A. I’d rather you wouldn’t B. It’s OK with me.
C. What for? D. By all means.
26、Directions: Read the passage carefully. Write a summary of the passage in 60 words.
Job stress and worrying about job security can both take a toll on a woman’s body, although the two issues affect female health differently, according to research presented last month at the American Heart Association’s Annual Meeting in Chicago.
In a recent study looking at work stress and women, researchers from Harvard and Brigham and Women’s Hospital studied more than 17,000 otherwise healthy women, generally in their 50s, enrolled in the Women’s Healthy Study for 10 years. Overall, working women reporting high job strain faced a 40 percent higher rate of cardiovascular(心血管的) disease.
Worrying about losing a job did not appear to increase heart attack risk, but it was linked to obesity, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol(胆固醇), all of which can eventually lead to cardiovascular disease. But whether chronic work-related stress is eating at your nerves or ballooning your waistline, there are natural solutions with no toxic side effects that you can use to relax the pressure.
Previous research out of the university of Oregon has found that you could adopt stress-damaging properties of Integrative Body-Mind Training(IBMT)before the workweek’s out. After practicing it for 20 minutes a day for five days in a row, participants reported reduced stress and increased energy. Prevention suggests this introIBMT exercise: Sit quietly in a comfortable position. Close your eyes and think of your mind as a full cup; as thoughts come and go, keep returning to an image of the cup becoming empty. Repeat for five minutes.
Regardless of your meditation style, know this: Compared too non-meditators, women who practice meditation enjoy up to a 66 percent drop on stress hormone levels, which can dramatically improve heart health. You don’t need to be a monk to enjoy the benefits of meditation. In fact, more and more Western integrative medicine practitioners are using it as a nontoxic health improver.
