21、Fitness bands like the Apple Watch and the Fitbit aim to track something like heart rate.

But early models weren’t all that accurate. We thought of them a little bit like random number generators(生成器). They really didn’t seem to be providing anything that bore any relationship to heart rate.

Euan Ashley, a cardiologist(心脏病专家), studies wearables at Stanford University. He and his colleagues have now tested seven newer fitness bands, from brands like Apple, Fitbit and others and he says those heart rate statistics have gotten much better. "Yeah we were pleasantly surprised actually by how good the accuracy of the heart rate monitoring was."

For most of the devices, the error rate was less than 5%, which is good enough for your doctor. But where all the devices failed to measure up was estimating calories burned. Even the most accurate devices were off by 30%, compared to lab measurements of energy consumption. One device was off by more than 90%.

If you think about going to the gym and working out for an hour and maybe that’s around 400 calories, then in reality that could be anything from 200 to 800. And that’s a big difference if you’re thinking about somebody who’s incorporating those estimates into their lifestyle and particular thinking about what to eat that evening based on the workout they did that afternoon.

The results are in the Journal of Personalized Medicine. The reason for the discrepancy, Ashley says, could be that we all burn energy at different rates and that’s hard to calculate from simple input statistics like weight and height.

Some people are incredibly efficient and look incredibly elegant when they run. And others really clearly look like they’re burning a lot more calories to cover the same amount of ground. So if you own a wearable, it’s probably safe to trust the heart data. But what it can’t tell you is whether your time on the treadmill(跑步机) really justifies that chocolate bar.

【1】What does Euan Ashley say about the newer models of wearables?

A. They were all useless   B. They were hardly effective

C. They were too expensive   D. They were mostly accurate

【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5?

A. For measuring heart rates, most fitness bands are not reliable

B. For measuring calories in exercise, most fitness bands are not reliable

C. We can base our lifestyle and diet on advice from doctors

D. We can base our lifestyle and diet on data from wearables

【3】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To remind readers to use fitness bands wisely

B. To promote the sale of popular wearables

C. To discuss the advantages of some popular wearables

D. To introduce some famous-brand fitness bands

23、   As I walked into the primary school, I looked down at my new black Mary Jane shoes—I wanted to be anywhere in the world but Fountain Inn Elementary School.

I stood at Mrs. Blackstone’s door. Before I tried the great escape, the wooden door suddenly opened to the loud voice of Mrs. Blackstone, my new fifth grade teacher.

“We’ve been waiting for you!” She said loudly. With a smile my mom walked away and I was left standing in front of a group of students.

Over the next few days, Mrs. Blackstone made it her job to find me a new best friend. During history lessons, when I didn’t want to speak in front of the class, she’d not only call on me but have me stand up to address my classmates.

One spring afternoon, Mrs. Blackstone asked me to stay after class.

“I’d like to speak with you, Amanda.”

My mind raced. Had I made a bad grade? Had I hurt someone’s feelings?

“Are you enjoying your new school?” She sat comfortably behind her desk.

“I want to tell you something, between you and me, not to be shared with anyone else.” With her eyebrows raised she continued, “I see something special in you. The way you communicate with others, the kindness you show—I think you have great potential to be something very important.”

I listened attentively to every word.

“I’ve been a teacher for over twenty-five years; I can see it. But you must believe in yourself. That’s very important. Remember that and you’ll go far.”

She then hugged me and said, “See you tomorrow.”

Her singsong voice was music to my ears that day. I walked out of her class, not staring at my Mary Jane shoes, but looking straight ahead with my head high. My teacher saw something special in me!

24、   When you were at school, the last thing you probably wanted to do was to spend your weekends going to work. There was homework to do, sport to play and fun to have. But our parents probably persuaded us to find a job to earn some money and get some life experience. When I was a teenager I had a paper round: delivering newspapers to people’s homes.

Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13, and many children do take up part-time jobs. It’s one of those things that are seen almost as a rite of passage (成人仪式). It’s a taste of independence and sometimes a useful thing to put on your CV（简历). Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing their own money.

Some research has shown that not taking up a Saturday or holiday job could be deleterious to a person later on. A 2015 study by the UK Commission on Employment and Skills found that not participating in part-time work at school age had been blamed by employers’ organizations for young adults being ill-prepared for full-time employment, but despite this, recent statistics have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years.

So does this mean that British teenagers are now afraid of hard work? Probably not. Some experts feel that young people feel going out to work will affect their performance at school and they are under some pressure now to study hard and get good exam result and a good job in the long term. However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, told BBC News that “Properly regulated part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives.” In reality, it’s all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.

Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom. One 13-year-old girl called Rachel, who has a Saturday job in a shop, told the BBC that “I enjoy my job because I’m earning money and it helps me socialize with people I work with.” That seems like something worth getting up for a Saturday morning. Did you do a part-time job when you were at school?

【1】What conclusion can we draw from Para2?

A.Children over 13 in the UK must take up part-time jobs.

B.Taking up part-time jobs is good for students in many ways.

C.Students taking up part-time jobs are more independent.

D.Taking up part-time jobs can help students save money.

【2】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “deleterious”?

A.Threatening. B.Important.

C.Beneficial. D.Harmful.

【3】Why don’t some British schoolchildren take up part-time jobs according to some experts?

A.Because they are not ready to go out to work.

B.Because they cannot endure hardships.

C.Because they want to study hard and get good academic performance.

D.Because they lack confidence and skills needed to work.

【4】Which of the following will Geoff Barton agree with?

A.Students should put all their energies into their studies.

B.It is good for students to do part-time jobs as long as they are proper.

C.Students with good grades and no study pressure can do part-time jobs.

D.The more part-time jobs they do, the more beneficial it is for students.

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

A.Should schoolchildren have part-time jobs?

B.What kind of part-time job should schoolchildren do?

C.What benefits can part-time jobs bring to schoolchildren?

D.Why do British schoolchildren show less interest in part-time jobs?

25、A side by side photo of a man's back with a 13-year period of time apart took over Chinese Internet recently. An Lei, 38, is a _______ of the Law Enforcement Team from the Department of Traffic and Transportation in Dalian, northeast China's Liaoning Province.
