21、 When my friend put out the idea of homeschooling to her parents, the first reaction they gave was, “You are cutting the child off the world.” Did the child really get cut off or did the child socialize better?

The moment we hear of homeschooling, we think the child will have no opportunities to interact with peers. However, in my friend’s opinion, we forget that when attending a regular school, the child is not into socializing all the while. The child is confined to so many other activities. Studies take a major role in a child’s life. The child hardly has the time to interact at school.

The child might be meeting and studying along with many peers; however, how many kids interact with all the kids in a class? But in homeschooling system, as my friend mentioned, the kid has all the time and can plan his day accordingly. During the day the child studies just like other school-going kids but with no burden of homework and project work, the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers. The quality time the child spends in education is really impressive.

Homeschooled kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands. They can also make socializing a regular habit. Just as my friend said, her child goes to a neighboring park almost every day and has a set of friends who go there daily. Other children get back home to finish off homework and project work whereas her child who is already through with studies gets the opportunity to spend time with family members.

When I heard this, I really felt how lucky the child was. Definitely the child had a better opportunity to socialize when compares with my kids. However, I might not consider homeschooling for my kid, as I am so used to the traditional schooling system and feel regular schooling the safest bet.

【1】What is the author’s attitude towards his friend’s idea of homeschooling?

【4】According to the author what is the biggest advantage of homeschooling children?

A. They can be better at socializing.

22、Moving into your own apartment is exciting, but it can sometimes take a little while to really feel settled in. 【1】 And many of them are inexpensive and easy to do!

Work on unpacking one room at a time if you’re just moving in. As you start to unpack boxes, work on one room at a time. 【2】 Arrange each room neatly, making it feel lived-in before you move on to the next one. For instance, you might set up your bedroom first, then the living room, then the kitchen and finally the bathroom.

【3】 Many apartments are short on space, so you may find that you have to be very cautious when you’re planning your furniture layout. Think about how you want to use each space, then arrange the furniture to maximize the functionality of that area. For instance, if you love to have people over, you might arrange the seating in your living room so all the chairs face each other. If you spend a lot of time watching your favourite shows, your layout might be a sofa and an easy chair in front of the TV.

Light scented (香薰的) candles to make your apartment smell more like home. 【4】 Lighting a candle in your apartment can change the feel almost instantly, especially if you choose a candle that smells like baked goods, warm vanilla, sandalwood, or leather. Or, if there was a certain candle you loved at your last place, you could light that, instead.

Hang art and photos that reflect your style throughout your place. Art is the perfect way to express your personal style, so search thrift stores, secondhand shops, and online stores for deals on art pieces that make you feel good. You can also display pictures of your family and friends. 【5】

A．That way you won’t make a mess.

B．Place your furniture so it decides different spaces.

C．Don’t underestimate the power of a comforting scent.

D．Make you feel at home and use it to paint one of your rooms.

E．That will give you an instant feeling of comfort when you look at them.

F．Fortunately, there are plenty of things you can do to warm up your space.

G．That way, you don’t have to worry about spending a lot money to stock up all at once.

24、In my 25 years of treating heart patients, I’ve noticed that heart attacks don’t always strike randomly. There are certain predictable “danger zones,” especially for patients with heart disease or a risk for it, like smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure. Being aware of these high-risk windows might lead you to improve your lifestyle and lessen your chance of problems.

Researchers who analyzed thousands of U.S. heart attack victims found that those feeling very sad for a death were more likely to have an increased heart attack risk in the week following their loved one’s passing. Swedish research found that the heart attack risk remains elevated for several years after the death of an adult sibling. If you are suffering from a loss and feel alone or depressed, seek out counseling and support from your doctor, friends, and family. Don’t sit home alone and suffer.

As if extreme exhaustion, ache, and high fever weren’t bad enough, the flu may double your chances of having a heart attack for up to three days following the illness. The virus may cause an inflammatory response that can damage arteries. Being dehydrated thickens blood, making it clot. A fever can increase your heart rate, forcing the heart to work harder. A few days after getting the flu, seek medical help.

In the three weeks following the 8.9-magnitude earthquake and accompanying tsunami that killed thousands of people in Japan in 2011, the rate of heart attacks among survivors increased threefold, compared with the rate during the same calendar weeks in past years. It’s important for first responders and healthcare providers to be aware of this.

Believe it or not, even cheering for your team in a big sporting event can break your heart — if you get so wrapped up in the game that your emotions spiral out of control. Soccer’s World Cup is serious business in Brazil. When researchers studied four Cups’ worth of data, they found that heart attacks increased during the tournament’s finals and rates were highest when Brazil was playing compared with other teams. If you’re a screaming sports fan, you could ask your doctor about taking a daily baby aspirin.

【1】If a heart disease patient falls in long deep sorrow for losing his/her beloved,________.

A．he/she had better find support from doctors, friends and family

B．he/she had better stay at home alone and try his/her best to calm down

C．he/she had better mourn the whole week following their loved one’s passing

D．he/she had better take medicine for a week after their loved one’s death

【2】It can be inferred from the text that _________.

A．flu virus is the biggest contribution to hear attack

B．big sporting events may contribute to increasing fans’ heart attack

C．more people die from heart attack when screaming in World Cup final

D．patients with heart disease might easily be frightened to death by earthquakes

【3】Why are the 2011earthquake and tsunami in Japan mentioned in the text?

A．To remind readers of the heartbroken scene.

B．To show the seriousness of devastating natural disasters.

C．To stress the importance of being aware of heart disease.

D．To prove the connection between natural disasters and heart attacks.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．Doctors’ Advice on Preventing Heart Attack

B．The Most Thrilling Match in Soccer’s World Cup

C．The Best Choices for Patients with Heart Disease

D．The Most Dangerous Times for Heart Disease

25、Sometimes the world gives us a small sign of encouragement, right when we need it the most.

Murphy lost her parents in her early 20s. Two years ago, she was _________ with finding happiness in her career. During walks on the beach she would talk to her parents in her head, seeking guidance about her career choices. “Since they weren’t with me _________ , I would ask for little signs in the form of heart-shaped rocks.
