21、 People have grown taller over the last century, with South Korean women shooting up by more than 20cm on average, and Iranian men gaining 16.5cm. A global study looked at the average height of 18-year-olds in 200 countries 1914 and 2014. The results show that while Swedes were the tallest people in the world in 1914, Dutch men have risen from l2th place to claim top spot with an average height of 182.5cm. Larvian women, meanwhile, rose from 28th place in 1914 to become the tallest in the world a century later, with an average height of 169.8cm. James Bentham, a co-author of the research says the global trend is likely but once you average over whole populations, genetics plays a less key role," he added.
But while height has increased around the world, the trend in many countries of north and sub-Saharan Africa causes concern, says Elio Riboli of Imperial College. While height increased in Uganda and Niger during the early 20th century, the trend has reversed in recent years, with height decreasing among 18-year-olds.
"One reason for these decreases in height is the economic situation in the 1980s," said Professor Alexander. The nutritional and health problems that followed the policy of structural adjustment, he says, led to many children and teenagers failing to reach their full potential in terms of height.
Bentham believes the global trend of increasing height has important implications. "How tall we are now is strongly influenced by the environment we grew up in," he said. "If we give children the best possible start in life now, they will be healthier and more productive for decades to come."

B.The last century has seen a great increase in people’s height in most countries.

D.Dutch and Swedes are ranked first and second in height in the world nowadays.
【2】The underlined word "reversed" in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by .
A.slowed down. B.gone upwards. C.changed to the contrary. D.come to life again.
【3】According to the text,James Bentham suggests that .
A.The economic situation of some countries should be improved.

23、“Selfie” may have been named Oxford Dictionary’s word of 2013. In effect，so widely known has the selfie become that in the past 12 months，its frequency in the English language has increased by 17000 percent，said Oxford dictionaries. However，its popularity has just earned it another honour-being voted the most annoying and overused term of the past 12 months. But I’d like to offer that maybe it isn’t so bad.
According to the Oxford online dictionary, selfie is a photo that one takes of oneself， often from a smart phone，and send them to a social media website. Women and men alike decorate their Facebook and Twitter accounts with these pictures，sometimes with exaggerated facial expressions，such as large smiles or puckered lips(噘嘴).
Let’s think about it. Someone takes about 10 selfies each time they do，and they only end up posting one or two of those. They pick the one that they feel makes them look the best. Isn’t that beautiful? In that one picture，somebody has given himself or herself confidence. Self-image is vital. In today’s society，we are so crazy about being perfect. But perhaps，with that one selfie，we feel as if we fit that need. We feel handsome，beautiful，confident，smart，happy，and content. For that moment，everything bad or terrible that has ever happened to us seemed to have been erased，for that smile or that pucker is what gives us the determination to love ourselves.
A spoken-word poem I saw lately set me thinking：If I ask you what you love，the answers will most likely roll of your tongue. You love to read. You love to write. You love birds，music…your mom，your brother，your sister，your daughter，your best friend，your dog. How long do you think you could go on and on before you said，“I love myself.”?
The poem hit me like a ton of bricks. I’ve struggled with confidence all of my life. And I still do. And in no way am I saying that taking a selfie is a gateway to that confidence. However，the selfie does deserve some credit for allowing individuals to express themselves. Just as Pamela Rutledge put it，“There are many more photographs available now of real people than models.”
【1】According to the writer, we live in a society where ________.
A. selfie leads to success
B. a good image decides one’s status
C. one’s poor performance can be erased
D. being perfect is highly valued
【2】The spoken-word poem mentioned in the 4th paragraph implies ________.
A. our pleasure to enjoy beauty
B. our need to love people around us
C. our tendency to ignore ourselves
D. our real love to share with others
【3】What does the underlined word “credit” in the last paragraph mean?
A. praise B. grade C. trust D. fame
【4】In the writer’s opinion, selfie ________.
A. brings about people’s sense of confidence
B. is merely popular among teenagers
C. tells the true meaning of life
D. is an annoying phenomenon on the Internet
24、On a Friday evening in December, two weeks before Christmas, I lost my job. I hadn’t seen it coming, I was excited for the weekend, when my daughter, Kristil, then 12, and I planned to get our Christmas tree. Then I listened to my voicemail: “We’re sorry, but your work assignment has ended as of today.’’ My heart sank.
I wasn’t just a single parent; I was the only parent. My paycheck was survival. Over the next week, I furiously applied for jobs as my bank account grew smaller. I felt as if the world was closing in on me.
On a weekend afternoon, back at home, I glanced out the window and noticed a petite woman with short white hair struggling to open her car door against the wind. As she got out, 1 realized it was my old professor, Sister Esther Heffernan. I hadn’t seen her since we’d met for lunch three months ago. After I graduated，Sister Esther kept in touch, meeting me for lunch every few months. I had grown to love her like family. I rushed to the front of my building. “What are you doing out in this weather?” “Well, I tried to call last week but couldn’t get through. Then I called your job and they said you weren’t working there anymore, so I thought I would come by,’’ Sister Esther said. “I have a couple of gifts for you and Krstil.”
I made her a cup of tea, and we talked. Just being in Sister Esther’s presence gave me hope that things would be all right. As she got up to leave, she handed me a Christmas card. “This is for you , and I will be there, sweetheart,’’ she said as she kissed me on the cheek. I walked her to her car and waved as she pulled away.
When 1 opened her card, 1 gasped in shock. There was money inside. Hundred-dollar bills fell onto the table. Tears of gratitude puddled in my eyes as I counted. Sister Esther had given me $1 ,000.
On Christmas morning, Kristil and I gathered around our tree , and I joyfully watched as she opened her Christmas gifts. I silently thanked Sister Esther in my heart.
【1】What made my heart sink at the beginning?

A．I found a satisfying job to feed my family.
B．Sister Esther’s showing up gave me strength.
C．I received hundred dollar bills from Sister Esther.
D．Sister Esther comforted me with her own experience.
【3】What words can best describe Sister Esther?

C．Persistent and smart.
D．Selfless and optimistic.
【4】What is a suitable title for the text?
A．My Efforts Paid Off on Christmas
B．A Single Parent Had the Happiest Festival Ever
C．An Old Friend Performed a Small Holiday Miracle
D．I Struggled to Support My Family After Being Fired

25、 Here’s an awkward confession(承认): I’ve cried at every job I’ve had. I always find it difficult to _______ my emotions. And each time I’ve _______ exactly why these emotional moments are considered so taboo (忌讳的). Is it a universal truth that you just can’t cry _______ ?
As someone put it on the internet, as professional women, we’re dealing with the great expectation to “be _______ in the pursuit(追求) of what sets your goal on fire” while also making enough money to pay rent. _______ , my eyes get a little watery just thinking about it. So if crying at work is unavoidable- yet taboo – what is an ambitious young woman to do to _______ after one of these embarrassing incidents?
My usual routine after an in-office _______ is to remove my contact lenses（隐形眼镜）, have a massive iced-coffee, and _______ it never happened (until it happens again). Clearly, I’m no expert on the _______ professional response. So I spoke with my personal finance coach, Ashley Feinstein Gerstley, to see if she had any ________ for reducing the humiliation (丢脸).
“It’s so ________, but telling yourself not to cry usually ________ making you cry more,” she says. “You’re using all your energy to hold it together, trying to ________ an awkward situation, but there’s so much pressure that the ________ will almost unavoidably come. ________ tend to over-apologize, especially at work. If you do end up getting upset, it can be helpful to ________ yourself from the situation. Take a minute to get it together, and come back ready to have a more composed (镇静的)exchange.”
Maybe there’s some ________ in crying. I’ve definitely found that __________the taboo can lead to greater relationships with ________. I’ve noticed how tears have helped solve a disconnection or problem that might________have gone unsolved. To be honest, I’m hoping to recognize, if not celebrate, the rare office cry as a hidden skill for greater future.
