21、In this day and age, digital devices (数码产品) have become a significant part of our daily lives. 【1】

But while these devices do make people’s lives easier, there are things to look out for in using these technologies. One is how digital devices seem to be taking over people’s social relationships.

You might have noticed how everyone is engaged in their devices during family gatherings or get-togethers with friends. While they were constantly clicking on their portable devices, real conversations are becoming rare. 【2】

So if you want to spend quality time with each other, you and your friends and family need to sacrifice screen time.

【3】 When you’re hanging out with your friends, make it a policy that all devices should be turned off. Of course, everyone should agree on this ahead of time to avoid any misunderstanding. 【4】 This could also be a house rule when you have dinner with your family or during any other event with relatives.

Another option could be to turn devices on silent mode (模式), just in case someone is expecting an urgent call or important text. It sounds simple, but turning our eyes away from the screen may be more difficult than you think. 【5】 And while we may be able to carry on a conversation while playing a game, this is definitely going to cause a loss to the quality of the time we spend with others.

By removing digital devices in the background, you and your friends can concentrate on what’s really important—spending time with each other.

A．Turning off your digital devices is a good first step.

B．They’re also driving us away from people around us.

C．People can therefore concentrate on what they are doing.

D．Thus, the opportunity to strengthen connections might be disappearing.

E．It seems so natural to reach for your phone or device before doing anything.

F．They are used for a variety of tasks, whether it’s ordering food or booking a flight.

G．And everyone must be willing to obey the rule or else the purpose would be defeated.

23、   Norwood, a junior High School student, was driving three friends home in St. Petersburg, when another driver crashed into her from her left and made her car hit the tree. The impact jammed shut the driver’s side door, so Norwood climbed out the front window. Two of her friends managed to get out of the car unharmed, but her 16-year-old friend Zarria didn’t. She run back to the car only to find Zarria was just sitting there reactionless.

A lot of people started to gather around to see what was happening. Norwood started yelling, “Back up, back up, she needs space.” Norwood pulled Zarria out of the back seat, avoiding broken glass from the window. “That’s when I checked her pulse on her neck. I put my head against her chest, and I didn’t really hear nothing. So that’s when I just started doing CPR on her.” Norwood told the reporter. After the 30 compressions and two rescue breaths, Zarria regained consciousness. Ambulance quickly arrived and rushed her to the hospital to receive medical help.

When Miller, Norwood’s high school teacher, learned that Norwood saved a friend just  one day after completing CPR training, she was at a loss of words and so proud. Norwood participates in the school’s Athletic Lifestyle Management Academy (ALMA). The program prepares students for various careers in health science. “We do vital signs and they learn how to take blood pressure and check pulse.” Miller introduced. And another one of the skills learned is CPR. “There are two components, a hands-on skills component where they have to demonstrate that they’re able to do CPR well, and then there’s a written test component, showing that they remember that knowledge.”

Thanks to Norwood’s quick thinking, Zarria is recovering well. She also isn’t surprised by her friend’s actions. “She will always help any way she can, so I wasn’t really shocked about that.”

【1】What happened to Norwood and her friends on their way home?

A．They lost their way.

B．They suffered a car accident.

C．They crashed into another car.

D．They were stuck in a traffic jam.

【2】What did Norwood do first when finding Zarria reactionless?

A．To give her first aid.

B．To ask people for help.

C．To call ambulance at once.

D．To send her to hospital immediately.

【3】What can we infer about the ALMA?

A．It normally lasts for one day.

B．It is for medical students only.

C．It focuses on both theory and practice.

D．It trains students to live a healthy lifestyle.

【4】Which of the following can best describe Norwood?

A．Considerate and flexible.

B．Kind and ambitious.

C．Hardworking and clever.

D．Brave and calm.

24、Adversity quotient (AQ逆商) is one’s ability to handle adversities well. It is known by other names such as resilience (适应力) and persistence. 【1】. A person with high AQ is tough and will not easily give up in the face of hardship, and often has the following qualities:

【2】

As we all know, change is the only constant in life. In the natural world, a creature that cannot adapt to changing circumstances eventually comes to an end. An employee who refuses to adapt to great changes such as heavier workloads will give up and leave. 【3】. The ups and downs of life will not crush them.

High emotional quotient (EQ)

【4】. Poor emotional control can make a situation worse than it already is. A person with a high EQ usually knows that the emotional impact of an adverse situation is only temporary. It is the classic “this too shall pass” mode of psychology.

A positive attitude toward life

A person with a high AQ has a positive outlook on life. They will see the half-full glass instead of the half-empty one. 【5】.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。

Almost all the possessions had been sold to buy food and clothing for the family. At last, nothing was left but the pet lamb, Daisy. At the thought of parting with the little creature, Mrs. Grant’s felt sad because the children loved it very much. Having struggled hard, she had to make up her mind to sell the lamb. But she could not ask any child to go for the butcher. Finally, she went herself with a heavy heart, dragging her leaden feet, and bargained with the butcher for the sale of Daisy.

While the children were all playing with the lamb, the butcher and his boy came to the door. “ You see I am here for the lamb, ” said the butcher in a loud voice. Hearing this, one child ran to her mother’s side, and asked what was happening in alarm. Mrs. Grant gently pushed the child aside, bent down and was about to tell the truth.

“That’s my lamb now, Charlie! ” said the butcher’s boy in a playful tone, going up to Daisy with a rope in his hand.

“No, it is not your lamb. It is ours! ” said Charlie, placing himself in front of it.

But the boy, pushing him aside, threw a rope round Daisy’s neck, and began to drag the little creature away. The poor lamb bleated (咩咩叫) very sadly. The cry of grief which fell upon the mother’s ears was too much for her, and her heart sank within her. In a moment, begging with tearful eyes, the children were all around their mother with voices choking with sobs for their little pet.

“Please tell your boy to stop a moment, ” she said in husky tones to the butcher. The boy, at a word from the butcher, stopped dragging the lamb, and the little creature stopped its bleating.

In a trembling voice, Mrs. Grant explained to them how badly off they were after their father died. She also added that the kind butcher had given the money for Daisy. With this money, she could buy her children bread to eat.
