21、If you know something’s bad for you, why can’t you just stop? About 70% of smokers say they would like to quit. Drug and alcohol abusers struggle to give up addictions that hurt their bodies and tear apart families and friendships. And many of us have unhealthy extra weight that we could lose if we would eat right and exercise more. 【1】
NIH-funded scientists have been searching for answers. 【2】 And they’ve found clues to why bad habits, once established, are so difficult to kick. And they’re developing strategies to help us make the changes we’d like to make.
【3】 They are a normal part of life, and are often helpful. We drive to and from work through the same routes every day. We can drive along those familiar streets on mental auto-pilot without really thinking about the directions. When behaviors become automatic, it gives us an advantage, because the brain does not have to use conscious thought to perform the activity. This frees up our brains to focus on different things.
Habits can also develop when good or enjoyable events excite the brain’s “reward” centers. 【4】 We often get into overeating, smoking, drug or alcohol abuse and even addictive use of computers and social media.
In a sense, parts of our brains are working against us when we try to overcome bad habits. 【5】 We humans have many more brain regions to help us do what’s best for our health. We can turn our behavior toward long-term goals, or long-term benefits.
A.But why can’t we make it?
B.Habits can arise through repetition.
C.Why should we break the bad habits?
D.Habits play an important role in our health.
E.This can set up potentially harmful routines.
F.They’ve studied what happens in our brains as habits form.
G.The good news is that humans are much better than any other animal.
22、There are plenty of people in the UK for whom even Basic English is a problem. According to the survey, 726,000 people in England and Wales said they could not speak English well, and another 138,000 said they did not speak it at all.
Ling, 40, who arrived five years ago from China,, found it difficult to learn English. “After I came here, I was at home for the next three years. It took me longer to learn as I was very busy with my children.” Eventually she was able to begin taking classes and now speaks good conversational English. But even with classes, it can be a long process to pick up the language.
Age is the most important factor in language study, said Mila Vulchanova, professor of linguistics (语言学) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. “There is a key time in language learning, which is biologically determined. So the younger the immigrants(移民), the better. Since this decline is only gradual, teenagers are at an advantage over adults,”he said.
There are a number of systems for grading English. The government expects immigrants to reach “ESOL Entry 3”or “B1 level” in Scotland, before they can be given citizenship. It means to be able to hold a confident conversation and it might take 360 hours of study to achieve.
George Osborne, the UK chancellor(财政大臣),said in June that benefit claimants (申请救济金者) who don’t speak English will have their benefits cut if they fail to attend language courses. Huan Japes, deputy chief executive of English UK, a trade body for language colleges, said it needed 360 hours-----120 hours for each of three stages ---- to get to the result the government expected benefit claimants to reach.
“Using 120 hours, for each stage of English fluency(流利),is a rather traditional way to course book learning,” said Dr Elaine Boyd, head of English language at Trinity College London. “If someone is really highly motivated, they can learn really quickly. It’s common for children under the age of 11 to be fluent in about six months.”
【1】The first paragraph serves as a(n) _______.
A. introduction B. discussion
C. explanation D. conclusion
【2】What does Mila Vulchanova mainly stress?
A. The importance of key teaching ways.
B. The necessity of working hard at English.
C. The advantages of learning English.
D. The importance of starting learning English early.
【3】The UK government hopes that benefit claimants ______.
A. reach “ESOL Entry 1”. B. are advanced English learners.
C. study English for about 360 hours. D. get citizenship from the government first.
【4】What Dr Elaine Boyd said suggested that _____.
A. 120 hours is a high level for learners. B. one can learn English fast if active.
C. English fluency can be easily achieved. D. children under 11 learn English hard.

24、 As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing for biometric(生物测量)technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e-spaces. At present, these technologies are still costly, though.
Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device that gets around this problem:a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节奏)with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user’s typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people’s identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it’s connected to-- regardless of whether someone gets the password right.
A new type of technology is not a necessity that people aren’t already familiar with in the case. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.
In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word "touch" four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.
【1】Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?
A.To reduce pressure on keys. B.To improve accuracy in typing.
C.To replace the password system. D.To cut the cost of e-space protection.
【2】What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?
A.Computers are much easier to operate.
B.Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.
C.Typing patterns vary from person to person.
D.Data security measures are guaranteed.
【3】What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?
A.It’ll be environment﹣friendly. B.It’ll be available to customers soon.
C.It’ll be made of plastics. D.It’ll help speed up typing.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?
A.diary.
B.guidebook.
C.novel.
