21、   People learn in different ways, and out of many forms of learning, one of particularly interesting—that is visual learning. Visual learners remember what they read over what they hear, and learn through sight. They are interested in using graphs and drawings to understand ideas.

【1】

While everyone has their own preference for learning, studies show that most people are visually inclined（有倾向的）. 【2】 And thus, whenever people see pictures, those pictures are kept in the long-term memory, allowing them to recall concepts and ideas.

Visual learners can learn effectively in many ways. First of all, a to-do list is a highly regarded technique. 【3】 Even if you’re not a visual learner, a to-do list can let you order tasks based on importance and improve your productivity.

【4】 The idea is to display relationships and connections to people, places events and more. This technique helps with the learning of particular concepts.

Videos can easily catch people’s attention and allow us to recreate those stories into clear pictures in our minds. 【5】 In addition to recording the lecturers or their words, you can also record yourself and make videos explaining certain concepts. This plays a great role in the learning process.

A．These attract the attention of the individual.

B．So why not include them in your learning?

C．And they get used to taking notes during class.

D．Why can visual learning help with effective learning?

E．The brain processes pictures faster than it does with words.

F．With so many things to do, it makes sense to get them organized in to-do lists.

G．Moreover, mind-mapping is a form of note-taking that benefits visual learning.

22、“You can come in here at eight o’clock at night to pick up mail,says Trevor Braun, boasting about the post office inside Elmore Store in rural Vermont. A recent Monday saw a steady stream of locals pop in to pick up their post, send packages and buy groceries. The shop and its post office have been at the centre of the small community, since they opened in the early 1800s. But that may soon change.

After the shop’s longtime owner retired, the United States Postal Service(USPS) did not automatically renew the contract with the new owner. Although it does nearly everything a post office does? the USPS can shut it with little notice.

Without the post office? many of the 900 residents would be virtually cut off from the world. Much of the area has no mobile-phone coverage. The post office is where many get their news. Locals got the state’s officials to fight to keep their post office. Contract negotiations are now under way.

It is not just Elmore’s post office that is in jeopardy. The USPS has been in financial trouble for years. Shifts in the way people communicate and pay bills have meant fewer letters in the post. Banking is done electronically and people use social media to send cards, notes and photos. Newspapers increasingly arrive on mobile devices. True, package volume is up because of e-commerce. But the losses are on the opposite.

On February 8th the USPS announced a $ 1.3bn loss in its most recent quarterly results, compared with a $ 288m loss for the same period in 2021. And unlike other federal agencies? the USPS does not receive direct federal funding. It must rely on stamp sales and shipping income.

The USPS cannot afford to wait long for help. Nor can its customers, who include most small businesses and the Social Security Administration, which mails 350m notices a year. About 7m Medicare recipients get at least one medicine through the post. Over 43% of voters cast their votes by mail in 2021. Johnathan Hladik of the Centre for Rural Affairs puts it this way：“If you don’t have the basic equipment like the ability to get dependable mail, small towns like Elmore simply don’t stand a chance.”

【1】According to Paragraph 1, what do we know about the post office inside Elmore Store?

A．It allows people to get mail at all times of the day.

B．It wins the praise of Trevor Braun due to its services.

C．It is located at the middle of rural Vermont.

D．It will be changed greatly soon by renovation.

【2】What does the phrase “in jeopardy”(Line 1, Para. 4) probably mean?

A．In danger.

B．In order.

C．In place.

D．In vain.

【3】Why is the USPS different from other federal agencies ?

A．Because it has suffered the greatest loss in recent quarterly results.

B．Because its financial loss is in excess of $ 288m in 2022.

C．Because it does not have any access to federal funding.

D．Because it makes a profit in limited ways.

【4】Which of the following could be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．The USPS is relied heavily on by its customers.

B．Many Medicare recipients cannot get any medicines without USPS.

C．More than 43% of the population will vote by mail in 2022.

D．Elmore will keep the post office due to its basic facilities.

23、On her first day of school, a six-year-old girl stands outside, fearfully clinging to her mother’s leg. 【1】 As the girl learns she will be separated from her parents to enter a new building filled with new people, she begins to cry. During the first couple of weeks in her new classroom, the girl does not volunteer to speak when her teacher asks the class questions. At break, she stands by a wall, watching the other children running around the playground. 【2】 She can be heard laughing and chatting, louder and braver than at school. As the school environment becomes more familiar, her behaviours there will more closely resemble her behaviours at home. This first-grader is shy.

【3】 Although definitions vary, shyness is most often characterised by cautiousness or fear in new social situations. In many places, especially in North America, sociability and liveliness are positively valued, and children are encouraged to speak up in different contexts, connect with their peers and trust their teachers.

It’s been estimated however, that as many as 10 to 15 percent of children consistently exhibit shyness, and we know that the tendency to display fear and avoidance in the presence of unfamiliarity is found across species, across cultures and across generations. The ubiquity (无处不在) of shyness suggests that it likely possesses some adaptive functions. 【4】

Shy children might be more likely to detect social threats in their environment compared with non-shy children. 【5】 For example, a shy child might more readily notice an unkind peer or bully. She might not immediately offer personal information about herself and engage in careful decision-making about whether to become friends with the person. These factors might help shield shy children from social conflict and negative social evaluations.

A．They tend to look before they leap.

B．When she gets home, though, her behaviour is different.

C．Childhood shyness is often regarded as a negative quality.

D．Her teacher works with her parents to get the child into the school.

E．She stops crying only when she notices that others are watching her.

F．Shyness is not a sentence for a lonely or difficult life in and of itself.

G．Indeed, there is evidence that shyness is not always a disadvantage or a problem.

24、The famous magazine, Runner’s World, has chosen some of the best, most difficult and enjoyable UK races.

Top of the Wolds 10K Challenge

This 10-km countryside track in Yorkshire is all fun until you take the left turn at Nunburnholme. At this point, you enter a serious uphill part, but thankfully the uphill part only lasts for around 1.5 km. You’ll have about a kilometre to enjoy the views before the way takes you downhill again, and back to where you started in Warter — a cute little village.

Scurry2Bridges Run

This 161-km relay race is divided into 16 parts, so you each run 4 separate parts. Over the course of this day-long adventure, you’ll each run about marathon distance while the workers will drive around for pick-ups and drop-offs at relay exchange points between the start in Dundee and the finish in Edinburgh.

Scafell Sky Race

Here’s a trail run (越野跑) that is not suitable for beginners. With a total of 3,500 m of ascent (上坡路), this is unquestionably one of the hardest events around. Good thing is that the views are beautiful, and that there’s hot food and a bottle of apple juice waiting for you in the end.
