21、When you think about art, you might think of it as permanent. After all, that picture you drew in kindergarten might still hang on your refrigerator years later. 【1】 Think about a Broadway performance. When it’s over, it’s over. Sure, it might live on in your memory or on film. But the live show was a special event. It was limited to one time and place.

Can you think of other forms of art that are temporary? 【2】 Have you ever spent hours building a beautiful sandcastle? If you have, you probably were sad when it was time to leave the beach. You knew your work of art would be gone as soon as the tide came in. The sandy beach is a canvas(油画布) that nature erases daily.

Most of the time, art made from sand can’t last long. Still, many people love using sand to create their own unique vision of beauty. 【3】 It is a type of live performance art. Artists who work in sand animation use sand to make a set of images that usually tell a story. They often start with a large amount of sand on a flat surface, such as a table. They then use their hands and fingers to draw in the sand.

【4】 However, the wide variety of beautiful and highly-detailed sand artworks might surprise you. Many of these works of art are temporary. That’s where the animation part comes in.

Sand animation artists create a series of images that move to tell a story. They might also use music and special lighting to complete the effect. Sometimes they take photographs of or video their creation throughout the process. 【5】

A．Not all works of art are permanent, though.

B．Sand animation is beautiful but lasts only at the moment.

C．If you’re a fan of the beach, sandcastles might come to mind.

D．One of the most attractive types of sand art is sand animation.

E．Then, they turn it into a sand animation movie when it’s finished.

F．It might seem like using sand would limit the art you could make.

G．Building a sand castle is a family-friendly activity perfect for large groups.

22、   We all have our bad days. No one is going to wake up each and every morning in a cheery mood. Sometimes we all feel just a little bit grumpier (脾气暴躁的) than usual, and that’s just a part of being human. Yet once we get to the office, many in the workforce feel it necessary to hide their emotions, whether they are in frustration, anger, or sadness. Interestingly, a new study finds keeping one’s behavior at the office authentic will result in greater productivity and a better relationship with co-workers. In other words: act how you feel, and don’t fake it.

It’s extremely common for the average workspace to preach an attitude of continuous positivity. While this may be beneficial from the CEO’s viewpoint, it just isn’t realistic when applied to real people with real problems and daily hardships. That’s why, the research team have concluded, employees will actually feel better, work harder, and connect more with their colleagues if they don’t hide their feelings with a fake smile.

Over 2,500 working adults, from a variety of industries such as finance or engineering, took part in this research via surveys. The questionnaires measured two distinct types of on-the-job emotional regulation: surface acting and deep acting. Surface acting means faking happiness while interacting with other employees; and deep acting refers to actively trying to change one’s emotions and feelings in order to be more pleasant at work. The study’s authors were interested to see how common it is for working adults to regulate their emotions while on the clock, and if so. Why? What benefits are employees gaining from such behavior?

After analyzing all of the survey responses, researchers identified four distinct types of individuals who hide or regulate their emotions around co-workers. “Non-actors” rarely hide their true feelings, and if they do, only to a very small extent. “Low actors” usually take part in only slight deep and surface acting. “Deep actors” perform lots of deep acting and low levels of surface acting, and “Regulators” exhibit high levels of both surface and deep acting.

By far non-actors were the smallest identified group in the study. Regulators, or employees who tend to hide their true feelings most often, are usually motivated by feelings of self-interest. These people believe that by hiding their feelings they will gain access to additional work resources and look good in front of their managers and co-workers. Deep actors, on the other hand, are usually more motivated by “pro-social” factors. This means they choose to hide their emotions because they believe it develops a healthier working environment. Regulators are the most likely of the four to experience great emotional tiredness and exhaustion. Meanwhile, deep actors tend to achieve improved well-being most frequently.

【1】Many office workers tend to ________.

A.show their anger B.behave naturally

C.focus on their jobs only D.pretend to be happy

【2】What does the underlined word “preach” mean in the second paragraph?

A.Promote. B.Forbid. C.Change. D.Ignore

【3】How was the study carried out?

A.By performing experiments.

B.By analyzing questionnaire data.

C.By taking field trips to offices.

D.By interviewing CEOs.

【4】What do we know about “regulators”?

A.They are straightforward and like to help others.

B.They are more surface acting than deep acting.

C.They like to build an image that will benefit them.

D.They are self-interested and will do whatever it takes to succeed.

【5】What conclusion can we draw from the passage?

A.“Non-actors” always hold back their true feelings on purpose.

B.“Low-actors” are, most likely to display their true feelings.

C.Hiding true feelings is sure to leave a good impression.

D.It is worthwhile to become deep actors in a way.

【6】Through the passage the author mainly intends to

23、   I had just won a bidding for a 1950s cookie tin full of memories at an estate sale. Delighted at my victory, I took the box and gave it a shake. The contents rattled. Inside were hundreds of buttons, pins, and other items, all glittering in the sunlight. As a girl, I'd always enjoyed digging through my mom's box, just as my daughters enjoyed looking through mine.

My eye caught the movement of a swing on the front porch of the house. An old woman watched the happenings in her yard. As I carried my purchases to my car, I stopped to chat with her. She told me she was selling almost all her possessions because she was moving to a nursing home.

Her eyes fell to the button box, and when she looked up, they were glistening with tears. I took the lid off the tin, and her rough hands lifted a handful of buttons and then slowly dropped them back into the container. Her fist closed around a delicate pearl button, now yellow with age. "It was from my first husband's uniform," she said. "It's one of the few things that remind me of him when he didn't return home alive." They had been married seven months before he left to serve his country in World War II.

As we sifted through the box together, we found hairpins ranging from black to brown to shades of gray and even white; a key to a music box that played a special love song; garter clips, wooden nickels, ruby buttons; all took her further down memory lane. I learned about her wedding, the birth of her children, and much more of the life she'd led for 89 years.

After our chat, I set the woman's box of memories down on the swing and slid my hands into hers. I knew we would talk again, when I went to visit her at her new home. And I knew that when l reached my own home, my heart would pull me to my sewing room, where I would rediscover my own lifetime of memories in my own button box.

【1】How did the author feel when she got the tin?

A.Curious. B.Regretful.

C.Joyful. D.Embarrassed.

【2】What can we infer about the old woman from the text?

A.She was to sell her house and move to a new one.

B.She had to sell many things to make ends meet.

C.She didn't marry again after her husband died.

D.She was the former owner of the cookie tin.

【3】What does the underlined phrase "sifted through" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A.Examined. B.Picked.

C.Carried. D.Decorated.

【4】What does the button box represent?

A.Antiques that add history to a place.

B.Memories of unpleasant experiences.

C.Objects that bring moments to mind.

D.Expressions of kindness from strangers.

24、If going on vacation and taking time off from your usual workouts fills you with panic, don't fear. A training break can actually boost your fitness progress, according to Luke Worthington, a personal trainer.

He told Insider that it's actually when we're resting that we make gains. “Something that not every exercise enthusiast realizes is that we don't get fitter, stronger, lose body fat, or build muscle while we train，” he said. “All of those things happen in the time when we recover in between workouts, and most of those things actually happen when we sleep.”

“When we work out, we cause damage to both our bodies and our nervous systems. When we rest, our bodies repair themselves and get stronger so we can deal with that stress better next time，” Worthington said.

“If we have been working out regularly and effectively, then taking a planned break while on holiday can actually be one of the most physiologically beneficial things we can do，” he said.

However, if you've been exercising sporadically and struggling to get into a routine, a break may disrupt your rhythm. In that case, working some movement into your vacation may be beneficial for creating healthy habits.

While physiologically taking a break from training is “nothing to worry about，” according to Worthington, keeping active can be a good idea for your mental health.

Some people benefit psychologically from a break, but others can benefit from adding some movement to a vacation. Worthington recommends sticking to low intensity steady state exercise, like walking or swimming, to gain the mental rewards while also giving your body a chance to recover.

“If you can't talk while doing your exercise, it's too intense，” Worthington said, and he advises doing no longer than 40­minute sessions.

“If your main reason for exercise is physical fitness, don't worry about it！” Worthington said. “If your main reason for exercise is emotional well­being, then don't set yourself back by taking an enforced break, but do dial it back to lower intensity work to allow you to physically rest, but still maintain your well­being.”

【1】What's Worthington's opinion on working out during vacation?

A．Ambiguous.

B．Critical.

C．Neutral.

D．Supportive.

【2】What does the underlined word mean?

A．Consistently.

B．Regularly.

C．Severely.

D．Occasionally.

【3】What's Worthington's advice on taking exercise?

A．Taking exercise with low intensity regularly.

B．Forming the habit of taking intense exercise.

C．Taking a physical rest for your mental health.

D．Adding outdoor activities to the working out list.

【4】What's the best title of this article?

A．Time off can be great for muscle gains

B．How to keep healthy while on vacation

C．Frequent rest helps you maintain fitness

D．The benefit of working out during holiday
