21、How to mend a broken friendship? It may be hard, but fixing a broken friendship will make it even stronger than before. Here are some tips that will be useful.
Be the one to reach out before the other.
【1】Let it be you this time. It will show them that you want to be friends again, and you’re serious about resolving things. Think about how you can reach them. Depending on the person and the severity of your argument, you may need to try a few different ways to get in touch.

If your friend refuses to see or speak with you, or visiting them in person isn’t an option, you may want to just back off for a while. Your friend wants space and that should be respected. Use the time to reflect on the situation and prepare what you want to say. Don’t push your friend if it’s clear they want space. It will only upset them and make them frustrated with you.

22、
Let's say you want to hit the gym more regularly this year. How do you make that happen? Consider putting the habit loop to use.
Here's how it works:
A habit is a 3-step process. First, there's a cue, something that tells your brain to operate automatically. Then there's a routine. And finally, a reward, which helps your brain learn to desire the behavior. It's what you can use to create-or break-habits of your own.
Here's how to apply it:
Choose a cue, like leaving your running shoes by the door, then pick a reward-say, a piece of chocolate when you get home from the gym. That way, the cue and the reward become interconnected. Finally, when you see the shoes, your brain will start longing for the reward, which will make it easier to work out day after day. The best part? In a couple of weeks, you won't need the chocolate at all. Your brain will come to see the workout itself as the reward. Which is the whole point, right?
【1】Which of the following best fits in the box with a “?” in THE HABIT LOOP?
A.Pick a new cue. B.Form a new habit.
C.Choose a new reward. D.Design a new resolution.
【2】According to THE HABIT LOOP, you can stick to your plan most effectively by______.
A.changing the routine B.trying it for a week
C.adjusting your goal D.writing it down
【3】What's the purpose of putting the habit loop to use?
A.To test out different kinds of cues.
B.To do something as a habit even without rewards.
C.To work out the best New Year's resolution.
D.To motivate yourself with satisfactory rewards.
【4】“This year when I see the Harry Potter poster, I will read 30 pages of an English novel or an English newspaper in order to watch TV for half an hour." What is the cue in this resolution?
A.The Harry Potter poster.
B.Reading 30 pages of an English novel.
C.An English newspaper.
D.Watching TV for half an hour.
23、You may have heard of a Japanese TV show called PUI PUI MOLCAR. The show features cute guinea pig cars getting into all sorts of crazy situations. In addition to the charming characters, people love the show’s quirky style of animation, which is known as stop motion, and it’s a technique with a long and interesting history.
In a stop-motion film, the characters are represented by models, puppets, or toys. The animator arranges them in the desired position, takes a photograph, adjusts each object’s position slightly, takes another photo, and repeats the process. When all these photos are arranged in sequence, the objects appear to be moving. The first use of this technique was in a short film called The Humpty Dumpty Circus in 1898.
In early Hollywood, film directors began to blend stop-motion with live action to create (at the time) jaw-dropping special effects. For example, the 1925 fantasy film The Lost World featured scary stop-motion dinosaurs chasing real actors. Indeed, the brains behind those revolutionary techniques, the animator Willis O’Brien, would go on to create perhaps the world’s most famous stop-motion monster—the giant gorilla in 1933’s King Kong.
By the 1990s, stop-motion was being used in everything, including movies, TV advertisements, and music videos. Programs like the Swiss claymation series Pingu charmed audiences with their endearing characters and style. Then suddenly, everything changed. Computer-generated images (CGI) with special effects began to really take off. Directors were eager to explore the possibilities of this cutting-edge technology and quickly gave stop motion the boot. And although several outstanding stop-motion movies were released in the ‘90s (The Nightmare before Christmas, for example), it was Pixar’s 3-D animated hit Toy Story that would become the decade’s defining animated movie.
For more than 10 years, stop-motion mostly fell out of fashion. By the late 2000s, however, audiences were becoming tired of the look and feel of CGI. Today, stop-motion movies are once again making waves. TV series like Shaun the Sheep are popular all over the world. Films like The Lego Movie even use CGI to imitate stop-motion animation. One studio in particular, Laika, has created five stop-motion pictures since 2009, all of which were nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Oscars.
【1】A stop-motion film is made by______.
A.creating stop-motion effects based on video clips of real humans
B.arranging photos of slightly different positions in order
C.taking photographs of various characters randomly
D.using computer techniques to create moving objects
【2】Which of the following is TRUE regarding the history of stop-motion films?
A.The special effects created in the 1925 film “The Lost World” was poorly-received.
B.The performance of a real gorilla in 1933’s King Kong caused great excitement.
C.Stop-motion films began to lose its popularity in the 1990s, giving way to CGI.
D.Toy Story was not as successful as the stop-motion movie The Nightmare before Christmas.
【3】The underlined expression “gave…… the boot” probably means______.
A.dismissed
B.praised
C.released
D.recalled
【4】It is implied in the last paragraph that______.
A.some film companies intend to further improve the stop-motion filmmaking by cooperating with the Oscars.
B.though CGI films are not as popular as they used to be, they are still favored by the Oscars.
C.audiences across the world are ready to appreciate the impressive art of stop-motion films once again.
D.stop-motion films are regaining popularity because of the declining computer-generated special effects.
