21、My mom was an astrophysicist, and Dad was a microelectronics specials, each dealing with phenomenon bigger or smaller than the eye can see. As a kid, I was often into daydreaming that I won Oscars or Grammys. 【1】 My parents, however, applied science and logic to most of the situations, like the time they cut the last olive(橄榄)in quarters because there were four of us.
【2】 I watched "Powers of Ten, " a film by Charles and Ray Eames. Initially, they zoom out beyond our galaxy, moving 10 times farther away every 10 seconds, and then quickly zoom back into Earth, into a couple having a picnic, and then into his arm, hand, skin, atoms. It gave me a mix of existential fear and comfort.
【3】But the solar system itself seemed to me like a bunch of friendly, protective neighbour—especially Saturn(土星). The first time I saw it, from an observatory on the hills of Barcelona, it was like what I imagine seeing Leonardo DiCaprio(莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥, 著名影星)in person might be. 【4】 I later took to learning about Saturn's weather and environment, almost as if I were planning a holiday.
Saturn is considered the master of the universe. The best quality of Saturn is, of course, its unmistakable rings of ice and rock. Glancing at them has the effect of making you feel insignificant and momentous(重大的)at the same time, which is a pretty sobering, and useful, emotion.
This summer, I traveled home for my mother's 60-birthday party. It consisted of a workshop in her honor in a small coastal town, with current and former colleagues of hers. I spent the day alone, swimming in the sea and joined them for meals while they presented papers to one another. All I had to do was sit, chat and quietly observe details. 【5】 They would travel to a scenic location to celebrate a birthday, then wind up sitting indoors all day to discuss stars and planets.
A.The infinite universe was too much to digest.
B.And yet, somehow, I began an unlikely love affair with planets in my teenage years.
C.Saturn's existence has always given me a real sense of possibility.
D.This group of people lacked the minimum level of coolness to exist in the world.
E.I couldn't help admiring this group of people for their commitment.
F.I wanted humor and lightness, even if that meant not always literal or all knowing.
G.Something you've always seen in two dimensions suddenly presents itself in three.
22、Too much TV-watching can harm children’s ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.
One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.
A second study ,looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year –olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood. But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and don't rule out that already poorly motivated youngsters (年轻人)may watch lots of TV.
Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages5 and 15. These with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per week night during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2 1/2 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.
In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.
While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms
【1】According to the California study, the low-scoring group might _________.
A. have watched a lot of TV
B. not be interested in math
C. be unable to go to college
D. have had computers in their bedrooms
【2】What is the researchers' understanding of the New Zealand study results?
A. Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV.
B. Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest.
C. TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds.
D. The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain
【3】What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. More time should be spent on computers.
B. Children should be forbidden from watching TV.
C. 'IV sets shouldn't be allowed in children's bedrooms,
D. Further studies on high-achieving students should be done
【4】What would be the best title for this text?
A. Computers or Television
B. Effects of Television on Children
C. Studies on TV and College Education
D. Television and Children's Learning Habits
23、Many people think that English writing is difficult. 【1】 Here are some great writing tips that will help you improve your writing in a short time.
Don’t ramble(长篇大论). This is a very common mistake made by people who have poor writing skills. When they ramble, they are not paying attention to grammar. As a result, their sentences become very long. 【2】 If you know you have poor grammar, use short sentences.
【3】 Think about each sentence carefully to make sure that it is correct before moving on. It’s better to write a short passage that is easy to read and mistake-free than to write a long article that is filled with grammar mistakes.
Increase your vocabulary. If you don’t have a large vocabulary, you will find it difficult to write as you can’t find right words to express yourself clearly. The solution (解决办法) to this problem is to increase your vocabulary. 【4】 You can do this by reading the local newspapers daily, borrowing books from the library or watching English programs.
Don’t write when you are tired. Tiredness can lead to nothing to write. If you find yourself looking at a blank piece of paper with nothing to write, don’t just sit there! Take a walk or a warm shower, or simply lie down to get some rest. 【5】 You’ll find that you’ll enjoy your writing a lot more and make fewer mistakes!

24、In the past ten years, many scientists have studied the differences between men and women. And they all got the same answer: The sexes(性别) are different, because their brains are different. And this, the scientists say, makes men and women see the world in different ways.
Boys, for example, generally are better than girls at mathematical ideas. Boys also generally are better than girls at the kind of hand and eye movements necessary for ball sports. Girls, on the other hand generally start speaking earlier than boys. And they generally(通常) see better in the dark than boys and are better at learning foreign languages.
What makes men and women better at one thing or another? The answer is the brain. The brain has two sides connected by nerve(神经) tracks. The left side generally is used for mathematics, speech and writing. The right side is used for artistic creation(创造) and the expression for emotions(情感). In men and women, different areas in each side of the brain develop differently. In boys, for example, it’s the area used for mathematics. In girls, it is the area used for language skills.
