21、Digital technologies are taking up too much of our time and attention. Many of us will spend a significant part of our lives staring at screens, missing out on satisfying relationships and feeling more emotional pain. For many years, we’ve been taught that the solution to this potential harm is some form of digital detox (脱瘾), which mainly shows us what not to do after our digital addiction. 【1】 Try the following three steps to achieve balance in your and your family’s digital life:

Determine your problem times

Identify the times and situations when being on screens is making your life worse. It could be when you are streaming a TV series right before bed, feeling depressed afterward and losing hours of sleep. Or you could be getting stuck on your device at the dinner table and end up getting distracted. 【2】 Identify your top two or three problem situations.

【3】

Once you identify the pain points, for example, scrolling (滚动浏览) on TikTok for hours keeps you from sleeping and makes you feel depressed afterward), ask yourself: What is screen time replacing and what goals is it serving? In other words, what are you actually hungry for? You might be endlessly scrolling because you want to feel uplifted at the end of the day. Write down the things you really want.

Try a substitute

【4】 It’s crucial to pick something that consistently makes you feel good. For example, if your goal is social connection, make plans for a nice meal with a friend or take that weekly meeting in person rather than via Zoom. If your goal is inspiration, schedule time for oil painting, reading historical fiction or whatever it is that uplifts you. 【5】 And at last, you will become empowered, healthy and wise digital citizens.

A．Identify your true desire.

B．Determine your pain points.

C．Pretty soon, these replacements will make you feel more satisfied.

D．But the only way to truly gain control is to take positive steps in advance.

E．Or maybe you are inefficient at work because you’re doing too much online shopping.

F．Ask yourself how you can meet those needs through something other than screen time.

G．If your digital life is out of balance, reducing time on devices is an important first step.

22、Ever been hungry enough to eat a house? Now, you actually could.

Food waste is a big problem in Japan and globally. Japan produced around 5.7 million tons of food waste in 2019. The government plans to reduce that by around 2.7 million tons by 2030. Tokyo University researchers Kota Machida and Yuya Sakai have developed a way to transform food waste into cement (水泥) for construction use and more. This is the first-ever process created for making cement entirely from food waste. The researchers say their product is four times as strong as traditional concrete. This particular cement can be used to make things like tea cups or chairs as well. However, there’s one additional feature — it’s also edible (可食的).

Kota and Yuya are the intelligence behind the formation of Fabula Inc., a company with purposes of reducing food waste, and helping fight global warming.

As expected, something this unique took years to develop. It took a few attempts to find just the right process. Kota and Yuya created the unique technology while researching possible environmentally-friendly materials to replace cement-based concrete. Cement production accounts for 8% of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions.

After a few failures, they realized they could get the cement to bind (黏合) by adjusting the temperatures. “The most challenging part was that each type of food waste requires different temperatures,” Yuya said. So the researchers had to observe them and respond in time. In the experiments, Kota and Yuya have successfully made cement using tea leaves, coffee grounds, cabbage, and even lunchbox leftovers.

Fabula Inc. is currently working to make tea cups and furniture, but Yuya is thinking a little bit bigger. Their product could provide relief in the form of edible emergency shelters in disaster zones. “For example, if food cannot be delivered to the people, they could eat makeshift beds made out of food cement,” he said. To eat the material, a person needs to break it apart and boil it.

【1】Which is one of Kota and Yuya’ purposes in making use of food waste?

A．To offer Fabula Inc. more cement.

B．To produce building materials.

C．To warn how serious food waste is.

D．To extend concrete’s service life.

【2】What did Kota and Yuya assess previously about making edible cement?

A．Its damage to the environment.

B．Its cost of recycling the cement.

C．Its difficulties they would face.

D．Its popularity among the public.

【3】What made the experiment of making cement out of food waste harder?

A．Making sure to make cement tasty.

B．Selecting correct food waste timely.

C．Getting cement broken apart easily.

D．Regulating the temperatures constantly.

【4】What does the underlined word “makeshift” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Temporary.

B．Strong.

C．Bendable.

D．Commercial.

23、What are some of your favorite memories of the University?

In preparation for each fall’s 50th reunion members of the milestone class are asked to recall campus memories for an annual Memory Book.

Here’s a small selection of some memories from the Class of 1969.

Phyllis Jo Baunach

“…I cannot forget the endless hours studying, researching, and learning in the middle of the musty books in the stacks. We did everything by hand! But the joys of ideas coming to life and understanding thorny concepts are priceless.

Additionally, I cannot forget the joyful hours of Co-Kast rehearsals for student-written-and-directed plays, and the thrill of audiences’ responses to our efforts. Nor will I ever forget taking voice lessons at the Eastman School of Music. This course gave me confidence to try new musical approaches and to think on my feet.”

Paul Boehm

“…many sweet and lasting memories-five feet of deep snow, getting stranded on the Thruway, music at Hylie Morris’s Alley, and, of course, I met my wife of 48 years, Eller Blazer Boehm from the Class of 1972, when she was a freshman and I was a senior. As a five-year chemical engineering major, I had one elective to spare, and Ellen said, ‘How about oceanography?’ So, I enrolled in oceanography with Dr. Taro Takahashi (the famous climate scientist), which awakened my environmental juices, and changed my professional direction.”

Farel Vella McClure

“…I truly loved my four undergraduate years at the University of Rochester. In fact. I loved it so much that I stayed an extra year to get a master’s degree! I was very fortunate to have been totally immersed in student life on campus. My memories include campaigning and winning a seat on the student government during my freshman year. Other memories include the Susan B. Anthony banquet, and sleeping in the comfy chairs in the library. I was also privileged to be selected as a student representative on the design team for the new Wilson Commons. I. M. Pei, the famous architect who designed the Louvre Pyramid, was the architect for Wilson Commons. We even visited his offices in New York to see the ‘master’ at work.”

【1】According to the passage, Paul Boehm .

A.married Ellen Blazer in 1972

B.disliked his major in university

C.became a famous climate scientist later

D.discovered his interest in environmental science

【2】What does the underlined word “comfy” in the last paragraph mean?

A.Common. B.Column.

C.Combining. D.Comfortable.

【3】The three people all talked about .

A.their beloved professors

B.their great friendship

C.their learning experiences

D.their beautiful campus

24、All routes to STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) degrees run through calculus (微积分) classes. Each year, thousands of college students take introductory calculus. But only a small number ultimately complete a STEM degree, and research about why students abandon such degrees suggests that traditional calculus courses are one of the reasons. With scientific understanding and innovation increasingly central to solving 21st-century problems, this loss of talent is something society can ill afford.

Math departments alone are unlikely to solve this dilemma. Several of the promising calculus reforms were spearheaded by professors outside of math departments. STEM faculty are prioritizing cooperation across disciplines to transform math classes to cultivate a diverse generation of STEM researchers and professionals.

This is not uncharted territory. In 2013, life sciences faculty at the University of California, Los Angeles, developed a two-course sequence that covers classic calculus topics, but also emphasizes their application in a biological context. Creating this course, Mathematics for Life Scientists, wasn’t easy. The life sciences faculty involved, none of whom had a joint appointment with the math department, said they turned to designing the course themselves after math faculty rejected their request for cooperation.

In Ohio, Wright State University’s Engineering departments also revised math offerings. Rather than changing the content of the calculus course, they focused on preparing students for calculus by emphasizing “engineering motivation for math.” The approach enhanced opportunities for students with weaker math backgrounds to succeed in engineering and doubled the average graduation rate of engineering students without reducing the average grade of graduates. Math learning is fundamental to all STEM fields, but the opposite also appears to be true.

【1】What problem is mentioned in paragraph 1?

A．Increasing STEM dropout rate.

B．The reform of calculus courses.

C．Shrinking admission to STEM majors.

D．The shaken belief in the role of calculus.

【2】What does “spearheaded” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．challenged

B．evaluated

C．cancelled

D．initiated

【3】What do we know about the calculus course reform according to the text?

A．STEM departments made calculus content easier to improve students’ grades.

B．Math departments sought cooperation with STEM counterparts to urge reforms.

C．Placing calculus learning in specific STEM contexts is a workable approach.

D．Removing calculus is the key to increasing graduation rate of STEM students.

【4】What does “the opposite” in the last paragraph refer to?

A．The STEM fields may be the foundation of other science subjects.

B．The STEM fields may be central to making math learning effective.

C．Math learning may set barrier for science study in the STEM fields.

D．Math learning may make way for science study in the STEM fields.
