21、When I was a boy, I lived across the road from a camp. For nine months out of a year, the camp was mostly empty, so it was my own personal playground. I would ride my bike up and down the quiet road. I would shoot basketballs alone at the court no matter how many times I missed. I would even explore the woodlands near the camp to look for buried treasures in my imagination.
In summer when the camp opened, I would swim every day at the pool. Then I would sneak into (溜进去) the camp’s kitchen to get a treasure of my own. My smiling grandma worked there and would hand me a hot roll and some coins from her pocket. I would take my treasure down to the vending (售卖) machine and buy myself a sweet can of Coca Cola to quench my thirst and lighten my heart.
Those memories are over 40 years old now, yet they still live in my mind like it was yesterday. Sometimes I wish I could go back to the old days and talk to that little boy. I would tell him to enjoy and cherish each day he had there. I would tell him that every moment is a gift of life. I would tell him to be here now and try not to blink (眨眼睛) because the years were flying silently. Most of all, I would tell him to stop and hug his grandma every chance he got.
Life seems so short at times. The longest life still seems too brief to learn all we have to learn, to do all we want to do, and to share the love we need to share. What we should do properly is to see the preciousness of each and every second, and live it like it was our last. May we all do so.

22、Culture shock is a broad term for a series of personal difficulties that people go through in new places ant is usually most extreme for those who can not speak the language of the place they have moved to or for those who aren’t familiar with the social rules. Both of these things applied to me in China when I moved there in 2011. So, naturally I went through the full well-known stages of culture shock: the honeymoon, frustration, adjustment and acceptance.
When I arrived I was excited and optimistic but I quickly became annoyed by cultural differences, missing how things worked back home.
By the end of my first year I had totally lost my self confidence and I became a bit clumsy and sensitive person and I thought it was China that made me that way.
Then in my second year I started to pick up some language skills and I found fun activities to do in my spare time. I made great foreign and Chinese friends and later I developed an interest in Chinese history and culture. Based on the above I learned to consider myself a confident and happy foreigner.
Today I’m back in the US where I’m pursuing a PhD at university in my hometown. It’s been a little tough to readjust to the life in my home country. I suffered at first from reverse culture shock, experiencing the four stages in the opposite order.
I’d complain loudly about the little things like I could no longer shout “ fu wu yuan” to get a waiter’s attention in a restaurant. But eventually I came to realize that my home had become an entirely new place when I was away. That, by itself , was exciting.

23、Just when you thought you were taking care of your health by eating enough fruit and vegetables every day, new research has come out revealing that you might be swallowing microplastic particles (颗粒) along with all those vitamins, minerals, and fiber. A groundbreaking study published in the journal Environmental Research has found that fruits and vegetables absorb microplastic particles from the soil and move them through vegetal tissues, where they remain until eaten by hungry diners, thus getting transferred to human bodies.
The researchers, who are from the University of Catania in Italy, as well as Sousse and Monastir universities in Tunisia, analyzed a variety of common fruits and vegetables — carrots, lettuce, broccoli, potatoes, apples, and pears. These were chosen for the fact that they are frequently consumed, usually one per day, which allowed the researchers to better assess the dietary intakes of MPs (microplastic particles) and NPs (nano-plastics). The samples were purchased from different sources in the city of Catania, including a small fruit vendor and a supermarket.
The researchers found that apples, followed by pears, were the most polluted fruit samples, and carrots were the most polluted vegetable. In the study’s discussion section, the authors wrote, “We can assume that the fruits contain more MPs not only because of the very high vascularization (血管化) of the fruit pulp (果肉) but also due to the greater size and complexity of the root system and age of the tree (several years) compared to the vegetables (60–75 days for the carrot).”
This study is important because it’s the first to detect microplastics in fruits and vegetables. They have been found in other sources before, such as sea salt, beer, water (bottled, in particular), shellfish, sugar, soil, and even air, but never inside fresh produce. It’s an alarming discovery that raises yet another red flag about microplastic pollution in the natural environment.
It’s an area that will likely see a lot more attention in coming years, with the study authors calling for further research into the question of microplastic and whether it harms the health of both plants and humans.
【1】What is the study mainly about?
A.The main cause of soil pollution.
B.The great changes in people’s diets.
C.The benefits of eating fruits and vegetables.
D.The microplastic pollution in fruits and vegetables.
【2】What may cause fruits to contain more MPs according to the authors?
A.The age of humans.
B.The great size of fruit tree roots.
C.The complex preservation method.
D.The large amounts of the fruit pulp.
【3】What makes the study quite special?
A.It showed the influences of MPs on plants.
B.It proved the source of microplastic pollution.
C.It presented the danger of MPs to human’s body.
D.It discovered MPs in fresh produce for the first time.
【4】What do the study authors think of the research on microplastic?
A.It needs to be further studied.
B.It wasted them quite a lot of time.
C.It has raised people’s awareness of health.
D.It has attracted people’s attention to diets.

26、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
When things went wrong, Eason always had something nice to say. When his teacher Mr. D. knocked into a bookstand in the library, Eason was sure that the librarian wouldn’t be upset. He was right. The librarian just laughed and helped pick up the books. When Emma, his best friend, failed in the quiz, Eason said, “Don’t worry. You will be better.” And he was right. After working hard around the clock, Emma got an A in the final. Eason looked at the bright side, and everyone in class liked that, except Zoe.
Zoe was the new student in class. On her first day, Eason greeted her warmly with open arms, saying, “Nice to meet you, Zoe. I think you’ll like it here.” Zoe stared at him, “I doubt it.” Eason didn’t know what to say. He’d never met anyone like Zoe.
In the afternoon, Mr. D. announced that they’d have an art class inside because of the rain. At that, Zoe directed a meaningful look at Eason, raising her eyebrow, “Bad things come in threes. No outdoor activity is number one. What will be the second?” Eason felt as if a cold wind was knocking into him. Outside the window, the clouds had rolled over the sun. The room felt darker and the class didn’t have to wait long to find out the next.
A boy was carrying a box of paint when he fell, and paint went flying. There was blue, red and black on the walls. Zoe turned to Eason, reaching out two fingers, posing a “V” sign, eyes shining with delight of victory, which seemed to celebrate the arrival of the second bad thing. Eason was speechless.
Just at that moment, Emma came to look at Eason’s painting. She admired it and picked it up, not realizing she had paint on her fingers. Zoe pointed with excitement, “Number three! Eason’s picture is ruined!” Looking at the striking fingerprints, Emma went red with shame and apologized.
