22、You know the saying “You’re as young as you feel.” Well, there may be some truth to that, according to researchers at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Ellen Langer, a Harvard psychologist who studies how the mind influences the body, and his colleagues reviewed the scientific literature for evidence that a person’s perception (感知) of their age might influence their health. They published their results in the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science.

In one study that Langer led, 47 women had their hair done. The women who thought their new hairdos made them look younger did look younger to objective observers, who were shown before-and-after pictures. The women who thought they looked younger also showed a drop in blood pressure. Another study involving 4, 421 men found that those who became bald at a relatively young age were more likely to get cancer and heart disease than men who did not. Similarly, another study involving 2, 017 men found that those who lost their hair early were more likely to develop heart disease. “We believe that the feelings associated with being older than one’s real age account for some of these health outcomes,” the researchers wrote.

The researchers also described studies that found that women who had children later in life were more likely to be healthier and live longer than those who had children early, which they attributed to the fact that these mothers tend to spend more time with younger women. Similarly, people who marry younger partners tend to live longer than those who marry older partners, according to other studies.

Taken together, the research “supports the general mind-body hypothesis (假说) that when a younger mind is prepared, a younger body can accompany it.” While the mechanism remains unclear, the researchers figured that suggestions associated with aging can “make one unconsciously or consciously aware of old age and trigger a series of physiological processes that can have real effects on short-term and long-term health.”

【1】What’s the author’s attitude towards the research results?

A．Negative.

B．Objective.

C．Supportive.

D．Indifferent.

【2】Which of the following statements is true according to paragraph 3?

A．Blood pressure is highly related to hairdos.

B．Getting cancer or heart disease is the result of baldness.

C．Feeling older than real age may be tied to health problems.

D．The women who love hairdos look younger than those who don’t.

【3】It can be inferred from paragraph 4 that ________.

A．often staying with younger people benefits health

B．the younger one of a couple lives much longer

C．a younger mother is more likely to live longer

D．people who want to live longer need to marry

【4】The passage mainly tells us that ________.

A．getting bald too early is not good for health

B．women had better give birth later in their life

C．feeling younger between a couple is very important to their health

D．people’s feeling of their age may have an effect on their own health

23、Preparing for exams can be hard, especially with online classes. 【1】, and working with technology can sometimes become heavily distracting (令人分心的). Aside from the obvious tips people give such as sleeping and eating enough, there are more ways to ensure preparation for your classes. Here are some helpful tips on revising how you approach exams.

Clear your study spot.

The environment we study in is so essential and important to remain focused when studying for classes. A messy space is known to not be beneficial for focusing! 【2】

Shut off distractions.

It is so easy to get lost on social media or answering texts and direct messages throughout the time you're supposed to be focusing. Putting your phone and apple watch away can help remove any possible tempting distractions while you're trying to study. 【3】. If you have to use technology, like an iPad for studying, make sure to keep social media applications off the device to help keep a steady focus.

Have a rest.

If you’re a perfectionist (完美主义者), it can be challenging some days to let yourself sit back and take a break【4】. It will be less mentally draining and you may even feel more energized after a much needed study break!

【5】

Sitting at a desk for hours upon hours, even with little breaks here and there can cause gravity to not push as much oxygen to your brain, adding to a stressful study session. During your breaks, make sure to move around a bit in order to keep blood flowing and your body well-energized and moving.

Get past procrastination (拖延) and fully prepare for your tests with these helpful tips!

A．Get enough exercise and keep healthy

B．You will focus so much better if you are alone

C．Make sure your study is comfortable, inviting and clean

D．It is super easy to quickly lose concentration while studying

G．You need to keep yourself fueled during those long hours of brain exercise, but make sure your food is healthy

24、Thousands of taxi drivers in Shenyang, Liaoning province, reportedly blocked streets with their vehicles on Sunday in protest against unlicensed vehicles using taxi-hiring apps (打车软件) and apps-based car rental companies providing passenger services, including high-end cars. Although the drivers also complained about the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy by the government, their main complaint was the loss of business because of the rising number of Internet-based car services companies.

On Wednesday, news reports came that Beijing transport authorities will take measures to stop the illegal “taxi business” of private cars through the newly rising Internet apps, following the footsteps of Shenyang and Nanjing.

It is not yet clear how the Shenyang city government will handle the issue and whether it will declare the services offered by market leaders such as Didi Dache, a taxi-hiring app provider backed by Tencent Holdings, and Kuaidi Dache illegal. But Shanghai transport regulators have set a rule, by banning Didi Zhuanche, or car services offered by Didi Dache in December.

Such regulations will cause a setback to the car-hiring companies and investors that are waiting to cash in on the potentially booming business. Just last month, Didi Dache got $700 million in funding from global investors, including Singapore state investment company Temasek Holdings, Russian investment company DST Global and Tencent. Moreover, the market is uncertain that Kuaidi Dache is about to finalize its latest round of funding after getting $800 million from overseas investors.

Regulatory uncertainties, however, could cast a shadow on the future of the Internet-based car-hiring services, which have become popular in most of China’s big cities. To be fair, these companies’ business model is anything but bad. For example, Didi Zhuanche works side by side with established car rental companies to provide high-end car service mainly for business people through the Internet and mobile phone apps.

Every link in this business model chain has legal companies and services. Hence, it is hard to define it as illegal and ban it.

【1】Why did taxi drivers in Shenyang block the streets with their vehicles?

A. Because they wanted the authority to increase their driving allowances.

B. Because they wanted to be taught how to use the taxi-hiring apps.

C. Because they wanted to make their main complaints known to the authority.

D. Because they wanted to attract passengers not to hire the private cars.

【2】The author’s attitude to banning internet car-hiring service is______.

A. positive   B. negative

C. neutral   D. unclear

【3】Which of the following statements is false according to the passage?

A. The problem referred to in the passage exists in all cities.

B. App-based car rental is functional to some degree.

C. The government should regulate the app-based car rental market.

D. Didi Dache is a China-foreign joint company.

【4】We can learn from the passage that _____.

A. Shenyang forbade apps-based car rental companies.

B. Shanghai is the second city banning Didi Zhuanche.

C. Some investment companies have confidence in apps-based car rental companies.

D. It is not difficult to picture the apps-based car rental companies illegal.
