22、In our efforts to squeeze every second from the day, it seems contrary to common sense to simply watch a pot of coffee boil. But your brain uses breaks to help learning. One secret to achieving more: 【1】. To allow yourself to do nothing, start with something familiar.

Take a solo walk

【2】. Being in nature has been linked to physical and mental health. But do not create a competition, which takes relaxation out of the activity. Some get crazy about taking 10,000 steps. It’s good to go for a walk, but this isn’t a job. Enjoy the walking itself, rather than the race.

【3】

There are many ways for you to slow down, such as taking a shower. Asking yourself to slow down sometimes can be a stepping stone to relaxing yourself. An author once described how bird-watching became her favorite: Exhausted after pulling an all-nighter, I just stared out the window. “I burned out, and in that state of forced relaxation, I happened to notice the birds.”

Have a short sleep

If you’re struggling to get enough rest, try a short sleep. Simply find a chair and breathe. While sleeping, remember your brain never is. Rest is one of the most important ways to build deep understanding related to identity and purpose. 【4】

Cook a simple meal

Italians call cooking the sweetness of doing nothing. It can be fascinating to create a feast to make the time worth it, but fight the urge. See the time as something other than the negative period after work. 【5】. Not only is the activity relaxing, but bonus points come when enjoying dishes.

A．Stare out the window

B．Enjoy a forced relaxation

C．Finding time to do nothing

D．Take it as a reason to persuade yourself

E．It fails to relax oneself with others around

F．Try simple recipes that require slow preparation

G．Leave everything behind and absorb the scenery

23、   It's the last dream for many to move to a big city and make a shining new life.

But as we all know, metropolitan living comes at a cost, especially if you pick Hong Kong, Paris or London, which are the world's most expensive cities according to a new research.

The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU)－which rates 133 global cities, and compares the price of a basket of 138 everyday items in each－has ranked them as joint top of the table.

The European cities have passed Singapore and Osaka, which tied with Hong Kong in the previous Worldwide Cost of Living Survey, carried out in March.

The changes are especially marked this time around, with the report doubling as an assessment of the influence of the Covid-19 pandemic on prices around the world.

Singapore and Osaka are now down to fourth and fifth respective, with Tel Aviv tying with Osaka in fifth place. An exodus of foreign workers during the pandemic is behind Singapore's drop, which saw its population fall for the first time in 17 years, according to the EIU.

The top 10 is completed by Geneva, New York City, Copenhagen and Los Angeles.

The biggest rise is Tehran, which has climbed up the ladder from 106th to 79th, due to US sanctions impacting supplies. Reykjavik, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo show the biggest price drops. The EU owes the Brazilian cities' rankings to “weak currency and rising poverty levels”. Brazil, of course, has suffered hugely during the pandemic.

“The Covid-19 pandemic has caused the US dollar to weaken while western European and north Asian currencies have strengthened against it, which in turn has shifted prices for goods and services " said Upasana Dutt, head of worldwide cost of living at the EIU.

“The pandemic has changed consumer behaviour, as lockdowns such as working from home have increased the prices of consumer electronics and at-home-meals have taken the place of restaurant dining for middle-class families ."

As for the future, things don't look wonderful. The EIU predicts that the trends will continue, with people cautious about spending and sure to struggle to make ends meet during 2021.

【1】According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

A.Living in Hong Kong means living a happy life.

B.The pandemic forces people to work at the office and eat meals at home.

C.People in Brazilian cities enjoy rising living standards because of the biggest price drop.

D.Singapore and Osaka used to tie with Hong Kong in the Worldwide Cost of Living Survey.

【2】The underlined word “exodus” is close in meaning to________.

A.dramatic increase B.sudden arrival

C.leave in mass D.journey out of Egypt.

【3】What is the basic cause of the changes, according to the research?

A.Population fall. B.The weaken US dollar.

C.Transformed consumer behavior. D.Impact of the pandemic.

【4】What is the EIU’s attitude towards the future?

A.Optimistic. B.Pessimistic. C.Indifferent. D.Positive.

24、In 1999, Google hired its 53rd employee called Charlie Ayers. This employee was unique. He didn’t develop software, nor did he have business knowledge. In fact, he just worked for a famous band. But Charlie won a cooking competition held by the company. Then, he became the company’s chef. He would help Google feed its employees. Since then, Google’s policy of free snacks has been copied.

This policy may make sense for some companies since employees don’t need to travel far to eat. The companies think it can also improve traffic during lunch hour. But firms’ free-snack policy has been attacked by politicians. They believe it extremely reduces the number of customers of local restaurants, which causes many of them to break down and eventually harms the relevant industry. So, officials are preventing Facebook opening a canteen at its new campus.

There have been many theories explaining what motivate firms to provide free snacks. Some argue it’s a firm’s dirty trick to keep workers working for longer hours. Others argue it’s about helping the firm attract talents. Still others say rich firms are just generous and that their generosity, in turn, makes their workers happier and more productive. All of these may contribute to the firms’ free snacks.

Google says its food system is about promoting teamwork and. creativity. The idea is that it provides chances to bond and exchange ideas when employees randomly meet and eat together. This, they believe, encourages creativity. While free snacks might increase the amount of time employees spend in the office, the theory that it increases creativity lacks evidence. Actually, evidence suggests unlimited candy and chips in the break room will affect people’s cognitive performance, which might eventually prevent workers from thinking intelligently. It’s no wonder that some. Google’s competitors rejected the food policy.

If companies want workers to exchange ideas, regular meals can make it. A better food system for companies is one where workers would be given a credit card for food purchases. Some colleges have a similar food system, which offers discount to fruits and vegetables and places an extra cost on junk food—junk food, after all could end up increasing the company’s health insurance bills.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch. The same is true for snacks.

【1】Why does the author mention Charlie Ayers in Paragraph 1?

A．To offer the background of the text.

B．To introduce the topic of the passage.

C．To expand understanding of the topic.

D．To show the structure of the passage.

【2】What do politicians think of firms’ free-snack policy?

A．It does increase the employees’ creativity.

B．It’s beneficial to local transportation.

C．It strengthens the unity of the firms’ employees.

D．It brings negative effect on local restaurants.

【3】What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．The possible causes of some firms’ free-snack policy.

B．The importance of the free snack policy.

C．The benefits of free-snack policy to workers.

D．The oppositions to the free snack policy.

【4】Why do some companies decline the free snack policy?

A．They are unaware of its positive influence.

B．They consider it a big financial burden.

C．They think it weakens employees’ creativity.

D．They find it unattractive to many employees.

【5】Which of the following will the author agree with?

A．Companies should increase their insurance bills on workers.

B．Colleges’ food systems tend to be superior to companies’.

C．A good food system can give discounts to any food.

D．Free snacks are unnecessary in the companies.

25、When we feel failure, we learn to figure it out. In the process, we learn; we _______ ; we become more understanding. But without that _______ failure, this beautiful chain reaction doesn't even have a chance to begin.

The other day, I was _______ six kids at my house, and while my oldest son was playing with the other kids he started acting _______ and aggressive. _______ , I tried to stop it. I corrected him, sent him to timeout and separated him from the _______ . I even punished him. _______ was working. Until, _______, one of the other kids said. “We don't want to _______ you anymore.” And the rest agreed.

My son kept trying to ________ the group. He walked to the other side of the circle to see if another ________ would let him in. He said please. He went to his room to find some toys to ________ everyone. But it was too ________ . He was refused. My first instinct (直觉) was to ask the other kids to ________ him. But then, I realized that if I did that, I'd be ________ my son of the greatest lesson that the painful exclusion (排斥) resulted from his bad behavior.

And so, the next time you want to ________ your child from skinned knees or a bruised ego (自尊受伤害) or ________ the bus, you might be cheating them out of the greatest ________ they could ever have: the power of knowing that there are natural ________ for their actions, and that they are finally ________ for the choices they make.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

After spending Thanksgiving on Uncle Howard’s farm, he gave us two turkey eggs. My younger brother Chris was so excited that he nearly dropped his egg on the way home. Dad put the eggs under an old hen in our backyard. Every day Chris and I would check to see if they’d hatched yet. 26 days later, two little creatures waddled (摇摇摆摆地走) behind the hen. As they got older, one was dead. We named the other Timothy.

Timothy liked to wander in the woods and find tasty berries and weed seeds. Mom kept telling us not to get too attached to Timothy, because we were going to have him for Thanksgiving. But we never paid too much attention to what that really meant. One day, Dad gave Chris and me instructions. “I want you to start giving him corn along with his regular feed,” he said. “We want a nice fat bird for Thanksgiving.” After Dad walked away, Chris’s face began to pucker, just as he did before he started to cry.

“Don’t worry, Chris,” I said comfortingly. “We’ll save Timothy, somehow.”

“Why don’t we give him away?” Chris suggested.

“No.” I said. “If we do, he’ll just end up on someone else’s Thanksgiving table.” Suddenly I had an idea. “Hey, Chris, you know that small cave in the woods?” Chris nodded. “We can take Timothy there. We’ll cover the entrance with a wire net and hide him till Thanksgiving is over.” “Yeah!” We were so excited that we gave each other high-fives. We took Timothy out of his cage and left him in the cave with water and plenty of food. We piled branches over the opening to hide the entrance.

One day Dad sent us out to look for him. Both of us felt guilty, but we wanted to save Timothy’s life, so we kept quiet. Finally, Dad decided that a fox must have gotten him. That year Uncle Howard provided a turkey for our Thanksgiving dinner. The next day a big snowstorm hit. It was days before we could get out and see Timothy. When we got to the cave, we saw something had happened.

注意：
