21、People can be easily harmed by what they desire. The mouse is caught by the cheese, and man is caught by the world’s most popular entertainment — television.

The amount of time people spend watching television is surprising. According to a research, American adults usually spend four hours a day in front of the TV, fully half of their free time. Over a lifetime, that’s more than nine years. Yet, we love to complain (抱怨) that we don’t have time for the things we really want to do.

There are two reasons-— we end up watching more TV than we know we should. People think they need it and it’s easy. We usually don’t realize how long we’re watching television. Since it’s a passive (消极的) activity, with feelings of lowered concentration continuing even after the set is off, watchers find their energy and concentration are low. Thus, they don’t want to get up and do something else once you’re planted on the sofa.

Instead of being a passive watcher, Julie Morgenstern, the author of Time Management, advises a method. “Fill your time with things you like, ” she says. “You should have a plan for your time and don’t watch beyond what you’ve planned.”

There are also ways to make TV watching harder. Most people put the TV in their living room. But you may try to put the TV away in a back room or the basement. Then arrange your sofas and chairs for conversation and reading.

Benefits of less TV will be obvious. Every spring during the TV Turnoff Week (April 21-27) thousands of people give this a try and often find they prefer watching less. The first few days can be hard. But, after that period, people find freedom. They get more things done and that makes them happier.

You may see TV watching as a way to decompress after your day. Studies have shown that watching television doesn’t lower your stress level, but in fact may increase it.

【1】What can be inferred from the second paragraph?

A．Watching TV is a good way to relax.

B．People are hurt by what they really want.

C．People spend too much tine on television.

D．Television plays an important role in peoples life.

【2】What is the sixth paragraph mainly about?

A．People can live without television.

B．Watching less TV gives people more jobs.

C．Watching less TV helps people live a good life.

D．People find freedom once they start to watch less TV.

【3】What does the underlined word “decompress” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A．Balance.

B．Complain

C．Communicate.

D．Relax.

【4】Which would be the best title for the passage?

A．How to Stop Watching TV

B．Fighting with Watching TV

C．The Importance of Watching TV

D．The Most Popular Entertainment

22、Two years ago, Nikki Tysoe rarely got on a bike. Today, though, she’s become so addicted to the cycling world that she’s even helping to bring pedal power to mental-health nurses at the hospital where she works.

In April, the National Lottery-funded charity Access Sport introduced a program that provides bikes to Tower Hamlets’ Royal London Hospital. Nikki pushed for this to be extended to Goodmayes Hospital, a mental-health facility in northeast London where she’s a project manager. She says having the bikes not only enables nursing staff to travel safely to and from work during the coronavirus crisis, but also lets them blow off steam during their breaks.

Nikki wanted to do something to make life a bit better for the staff. There’s a lot of focus on the hospitals at the moment which are having an awful time but this is also an extra-stressful time for mental health staff. The bikes provide a complement to a “wobble room” within the hospital. It’s somewhere the staff can go when they’re really stressed, and the bikes are an extension of that.

Junior doctor Aiman is very grateful for the program. “Using the bike means I can get to work safely,” she says. “This has taken out a lot of worries from my daily life and allows me to focus on my patients. It’s definitely improved my mental wellbeing.” Stress levels are generally high in nursing and having bikes would make a big difference.

While Access Sport has provided Nikki with bikes, her dream is to have three or four bicycles permanently on site. Following the success of the bike loans, Nikki is working to extend the project beyond lockdown.

【1】Why did Nikki want to extend the program to Goodmayes Hospital?

A．To make her hobby known.

B．To get nurses to cycle for health.

C．To fight against the coronavirus crisis.

D．To guarantee traffic safety.

【2】What might a nurse feeling stressed do in a “wobble room”？

A．Attend to patients.

B．Reflect on the work.

C．Listen to music and relax.

D．Receive professional training.

【3】What can we infer about the program according to doctor Aiman?

A．It meets challenges.

B．It is a great success.

C．It boosts sales of bikes.

D．It is popular among patients.

【4】Which of the following best describes Nikki?

A．Caring.

B．Demanding.

C．Ambitious.

D．Generous.

23、   I'm Dina Asher-Smith. Growing in Orpington, southeast London, I love being the hunter. The one in pursuit. In training, I'll latch on to the boys and chase them down. Even when I was younger, I tended to race girls who were older than me-at 17 I was racing 30-year-olds. It's where I'm comfortable. But the hunter can go on to become the hunted. And this year at the World Athletics Championships in Doha, Qatar, I won gold in the 200m. At 23, I became the first British woman to win a world championship sprinting (短跑) title.The morning after the race, I was in the media tent and was told that I'd been mentioned in the Parliament.

Track and field is a mental game.You're in your own little world, competing to be the person who can run the fastest in a straight line. My job is to take my body to a place where I think it can't do any more and then keep going. To do that, I need to know my strengths and weaknesses. People get caught up in embarrassment or shame when they're not good at something, but I just don't have that in me. I do have a voice in my head that tells me if I'm not good at things, but it doesn't make me feel negative about myself. I use it to identify where I can improve and then I just keep going to training every day.

I've inherited personality traits from my parents that help me in my career. My mum is excitable and when I'm on the track, I have her fire-wanting to go for everything. I always know when I finish a race that I can turn around and find her in the front row, jumping up and down. My dad is more reserved. He has a cool exterior and that's useful for me when I need calmness. I know to look for him a few rows behind my mum. They gave me opportunities to try whatever I was interested in. When I wanted to try golf, my dad bought me cut-down clubs and had me attempting to putt balls (推球入洞）in the back garden. My mum used to play hockey with me outside the house. They took me to so many clubs and classes.

I started training with my coach, John Blackie, in my mid-teens. We met when I was eight as he ran the kids academy at my running club. Along with my parents, the three of them always emphasized that they just wanted me to be happy. They never pushed me too early. And, as I've got older, I've realized that's unique.When running became serious, I knew that if it all stopped being fun for me, I could stop doing it. They put Dina the person before Dina the runner. Yes, the public might be disappointed and the newspapers might have a pop (抨击), but my parents and friends are still going to love me, and my coach is still going to be there. That knowledge allows me to stay relaxed under pressure.

Being as prepared as I can be is crucial as it keeps me calm and able to deliver in the moment.When I was studying history at university, I'd choose exams over coursework because I knew I could put the work in and perform under pressure. I was studying heavy things every day, like people facing prejudice because of their skin,or women sacrificing their lives for others to have the right to vote. It made me realize how lucky I am that the thing that gets me most frustrated is somebody beating me on the track.While, yes, I make sacrifices-some easy, such as not drinking and going out, and some harder, like restricting the food that I eat-ultimately, what I do is entertainment.

Everyone's asking me about Tokyo Olympics, but I'm more focused on today. It's important for me to keep my hopes and dreams separate from other people's. I'm grateful everybody wants me to do well, but my next step has to be for me, not anyone else.

24、Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.

Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self­conscious (难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.

Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.

Don’t forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories (卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.

Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12­inch plate instead of a 10­inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake (摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.

【1】The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____________.

A．their home comforts

B．their body shape

C．house buying

D．healthy diets

【2】A home environment in blue can help people ______________.

A．digest food better

B．reduce food intake

C．burn more calories

D．regain their appetites

【3】What are people advised to do at mealtimes?

A．Eat quickly.

B．Play fast music.

C．Use smaller spoons.

D．Turn down the lights.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Is Your House Making You Fat?

B．Ways of Serving Dinner

C．Effects of Self­Consciousness

D．Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?

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。

My 10-year-old daughter and I were driving from Los Angeles to Dallas. We were running low on gas somewhere in New Mexico and figured we’d see a gas station soon enough to fill up.

But that didn’t happen and we realized we were not going to make it to the next town. So my daughter made up a sign that read “Low on gas. Can u help?” and held it outside her window in the hope that a driver in the next lane would notice it and stop.

There weren’t too many vehicles passing us at the time. It was a desolate (荒凉的) stretch of road and about 3:30 pm on a weekday. A suburban was driving along happily in the neighboring lane ahead of us. We caught up with it in the hope the driver would notice the sign.

An elderly gentleman was driving it and after a brief expression of confusion on his face, he seemed to have noticed the sign and slowed down to pull over. We pulled over right behind him.

He was friendly and was eager to help us. At first he thought we didn’t have enough money to buy gas, so he offered to buy us gas at the next town Roswell that was about 10 miles away!! Awfully sweet of a stranger to offer that.

When we explained our difficulty of not having enough gas to get to Roswell, he said he was a ranch (牧场) hand that was returning home from work. His ranch was about 20 minutes away and they had a gas pump on there, so if we could give him 40 minutes, he would head back there, get a can of gasoline and fill up our tank for us.
