21、 Although in 1947 we were still very new to the atomic age,  we knew about mushroom clouds． A huge crack spread across the library wall upstairs, sending teachers and students screaming down the hall．

Had a new world war started? Pale-faced, our young science teacher quickly organized us for a fire drill． We huddled in little groups on the beach side of the school grounds and watched the spreading cloud darken the bright spring sky．

Rumors flew every which way, although two hours would pass before we got the full story．One rumor we heard was that the Texas City Monsanto Chemical plant had blown up; children whose parents worked there began to weep．

I froze—that was where my father was working that day．

The school bell called us back inside, and we were dismissed to find our way home the best way we could． I-d walked a quarter of the three-mile trip to my home when a car horn startled me to attention． My Uncle Barney pulled up alongside me in his old Ford． The instant I saw him, I knew my father was gone． Otherwise, Papa would have come for me himself．

As if in slow motion from a great distance, Uncle Barney motioned for me to get in． Numb with grief,  I crawled into the back seat．  I barely took notice of the man sitting there, and didn’t recognize him until he reached for me．  When Papa put his strong arms around me, I forgot for a moment that Cherokees（柴罗基人） aren’t supposed to cry．

Many of my fellow students lost their parents in the explosion．  Tragedy would one day come to our family, as it inevitably comes to all, but on the day Texas City blew up, it miraculously passed us by． Because he lost his keys on that April morning, as he explained, my father lived for another 32 years-we were to have a second lifetime forever．

【1】 What happened according to the first three paragraphs?

B． The author-s father had a narrow escape．

C． The school was near where the accident happened．

D． The author-s uncle broke the news of her father-s death．

【4】The author cried because ．

A． she was grateful that her father had survived

B． her father was killed in the accident

C． she was sad over the tragedy that day

D． her father didn’t meet her after school

22、   During the long holiday, did you feel bored and decided to check social media, only to find that your best friend was at the beach, that your classmate was going hiking, and that your cousin or niece was enjoying a feast? Have you got the feeling that others are experiencing things and enjoying life more than you are？

Oh, you might feel that you are missing out. 【1】 FOMO is the anxiety caused by a nagging （难以摆脱的） feeling that you are not taking part in the exciting and worthwhile things going on around you．

As is known, comparison is the thief of joy. FOMO makes us check social media more frequently, leading to an addiction and a negative cycle that is hard to break．【2】 These include the feelings of depression, loneliness and boredom．

【3】 You can avoid FOMO by focusing on being mindful, changing your habits, and working to be more grateful for your own life．

Social media is often what contributes to FOMO more than anything else.If you are feeling very upset when seeing all of the fun that others are having,take a break from your accounts.In this case,you'd better stop looking to social media for happiness.【4】

Besides, one of the best ways to overcome FOMO is to begin to truly appreciate what you value in your life. Make a list of all the things that are important to you, including subjects, people, dreams, possessions or experiences．【5】 You will find the true value of your life．

Do remember that if you miss an opportunity, other opportunities will come．

A． Have you ever experienced FOMO？

B． What can you do to overcome FOMO？

C． Spend some time reflecting on these things．

D． You can permanently do so if you feel it helps．

E． The feeling is called the fear of missing out or FOMO for short．

F． Researchers have found that FOMO can cause serious negative results．

G． If it controls you, the only thing you really miss out on is your own life．

23、They wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories(配饰)．Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies．A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favoring the same high street looks worn by those half their age．

Professor Julia Twiggy, a social policy expert，said，“Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more requently than they did when they were young in the 1960s．In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter．It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years—now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to．Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly．”  Professor Twiggy analyzed family expending data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same—about 5 or 6 percent of spending，the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply．

The professor said，“Clothes are now 70 percent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East．In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from，but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere．Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them．’’

Fashion designer Angela Barnard，who runs her own fashion business in London，said older women were much more affected by celebrity style than in previous years．She said,“When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties，they want to follow them．Older women are much more aware of celebrities．There’s also the boom in TV programmers showing people how they can change their look，and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties．When I started my business a few years ago，my older customers tended to be very rich，but now they are what I would call ordinary women. My own mother is 6l and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago．”
