21、   Plastic is used to make a large number of products we use every day， such as drink and food containers，trash bags and grocery bags，cups and children's toys，and bottles for everything from mouthwash and shampoo to glass cleaner and dishwashing liquid. And that's not even counting all the plastic that goes into furniture， appliances， computers， and automobiles.

As the use of plastic has increased over the years，it's become a large part of America's solid waste﹣growing from less than 1 percent in 1960 to more than 13 percent in 2017. As an example of how and why plastic waste is increasing， the International Bottled Water Association reports that the US consumed 9. 67 billion gallons of bottled water in 2017， compared to 9.1 billion gallons the year before. The United States is the world's leading consumer of bottled water. A good first step in reducing plastic waste is switching to a reusable water bottle.

Recycling plastic reduces the amount of energy and resources （资源） needed to create plastic. Research shows that a bottle of water requires about 2，000 times as much energy to produce as the same amount of tap water. Recycling plastic products also keeps them out of landfills（垃圾填埋）and allows the plastic to be reused in making new products. Recycling 1 ton of plastic saves 7. 4 cubic yards of landfill space. And let's face it，a lot of plastic ends up directly in the environment，breaking down into tiny pieces ， polluting our soil and water.

Today，80 percent of Americans have easy access to a plastic recycling program. A universal numbering system for plastic types makes it even easier. According to the American Plastics Council， more than 1，800 US businesses handle plastic waste. In addition， over 200，000 grocery stores now serve as recycling collection sites for plastic waste.

【1】What message does the first paragraph mainly intend to convey？

A.Plastic products are quite common.

B.Plastic is widely used in our daily life.

C.What functions plastic has.

D.Why humans make use of plastic.

【2】According to paragraph 2， .

A.plastic waste is on the rise in America

B.Americans prefer bottled water to tap water

C.plastic waste is the leading type of waste in America

D.using reusable water bottles doesn't help reduce plastic waste

【3】What benefit does recycling plastic mainly bring？

A.It helps cut down on pollution.

B.It helps to make soil more rich.

C.It makes plastic easily broken down.

D.It produces new energy and resources.

【4】What do the figures listed in the last paragraph suggest？

A.Americans suffer a lot from plastic waste.

B.Americans are good at recycling plastic.

C.Recycling plastic is convenient in the US.

D.Recycling plastic brings great profits in the US.

22、It is said that many brain training products is able to keep us mentally fit. Some products even claim that brain training can prevent dementia (痴呆) in old age. Many such products are only money-making rubbish. Also, there is no scientific proof that games or other brain exercises can have this effect. That is what the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) pointed out.

As we get older, our thinking gets slower and it is harder for us to learn new things. Many people try to stay mentally fit by, for example, learning a new language or doing crossword puzzles. Computer games that aim to keep the brain active are also becoming increasingly popular. “Doing exercises like trying to find symbols on a computer screen as fast as possible can actually improve your reaction time,” explains Professor Peter Sawicki, the Institute’s Director. “But scientific studies have shown that brain training only leads to an improvement in one aspect that it is aimed at. So if you learn to find symbols quickly, it does not mean that you will be able to improve your memory.”

Research has not shown that brain training can keep up or enhance (加强) people’s overall (全面的) mental abilities as commonly thought. “So there is no need to feel bad if you do not enjoy brain training: there are no health reasons for doing it,” says Sawicki. “But if you think brain training exercises are interesting, you can try out different things. For example, completing the order of letters can improve your logic skills. And practicing word association techniques can help you to remember things better. You can do all of these things at home on your own.”

【1】What can we learn about the brain training products according to the passage?

A．They are expensive.

B．They are effective.

C．They are harmful to the brain.

D．They are unreliable

【2】According to Peter Sawicki, brain training exercises can________.

A．only improve a certain ability of people

B．help all people improve their memory

C．keep the brain active for a longer time

D．only improve your reaction time

【3】The last paragraph shows that brain training exercises should be done_______.

A．when you can’t learn new things

B．in a relaxing way

C．under strict instructions

D．when your thinking gets much slower

【4】On the whole, researchers think that brain training exercises_______.

A．aren’t as effective as commonly thought

B．are just designed for young people to have fun

C．may benefit people in some indirect ways

D．shouldn’t be encouraged

23、Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.

Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.

The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children asked her tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.

Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering（口吃的）son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.

The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child ---talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves to be an only child at least once in a while.

【1】What is the text mainly about?

A. The happy life of two families.

B. The experience of the only child being with mother.

C. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time

D. The basic needs of children.

【2】Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _____________.

A. happy   B. curious   C. regretful D. friendly

【3】What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?

A. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.

B. Sam holds her hand more often.

C. The daughter acts like a leader.

D. The boys become better followers.

【4】The author seems to believe that ___________.

A. having brothers and sisters is fun

B. parents should watch others’ children

C. it’s tiring to look after three children

D. every child needs parents’ full attention

24、Beating Burnout and Compassion Fatigue in the New Year

This year has continued to bring many of us closer to the pain, suffering and exhaustion of those experiencing burnout and compassion fatigue (疲倦). There is no doubt that 2021 has been filled with additional challenges. 【1】

The data is clearly showing that our workforce shares feelings of burnout. A recent Gallup report indicated that 67% of us feel burned out either some or most of the time. At an organizational level, Hogan reports that burned out employees are 18% less productive and 2.6 times more likely to be actively seeking a different job.

Fatigue and burnout arise not when we fail to get sufficient rest but when we fail to appreciate the moments of purpose and joy in our lives.

There are a few myths around burnout and compassion fatigue:

Myth 1: Burnout is an individual's problem.

Many people believe that burnout is about an individual who needs to “figure it out”. 【2】 Team structure offers critical support and leaders should create environment where team burnout is addressed.

Myth 2: 【3】

Surprisingly, the individuals most likely to experience burnout are committed employees and leaders who love their job and are highly engaged. These top performers are the people you are most likely to lose.

Myth 3: People who experience burnout are just less resilient.

Research shows a correlation between higher levels of resilience (复原力) and lower levels of burnout. 【4】 But resilience looks very different now from five years ago, and my guess is that it will continue to shift.

If 2021 has taught us anything, it is that we cannot separate burnout from our emotions, whether they may be fear, anger, shame or guilt. 【5】

A．While fatigue is more sudden and results from carrying the pain and suffering of others, what we experience is similar.

B．Burnout results from lack of responsibility.

C．Burnout hurts individuals' enthusiasm and passion.

D．At this point, burnout and compassion fatigue has expanded into many aspects of our lives.

E．But burnout occurs at different levels and is the result from challenges to individuals, teams and organizations.

F．At one point, people believed resilience was established by “sucking it up”, or “just staying positive”.

G．And the path forward requires us to deepen the relationship with feelings of joy, passion, pride and fulfillment.
