21、   You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?

Jane Addams (1860-1935)

Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)

When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was woman. She became an Arizona state senator ( 参 议 员 ) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.

Rose Parks (1913-2005)

On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a while passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott ( 联 合 抵 制 ). It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was the tired of giving in,” said Parks.

【1】Who made a great contribution to the civil-rights movement in the U.S.?

22、How do you wake up in the morning? Do you set an alarm on your phone or clock that sounds like this: beep beep beep? 【1】 Sleep inertia is another term for grogginess, which means a person has a heavy feeling when waking up, and has trouble getting moving again after sleeping.

【2】 A recent study says yes. The answer is music. Researchers say alarms that have a melody-like the beginning of this song-can help people feel fresher in the morning.

The study, carried out by researchers in Australia, involved 50 people. The study subjects answered questions about the alarm sound they like to wake up to, how they feel about that sound and how they feel when they wake up. 【3】 However, it is early days and more work is needed to fully know the answer.

So, what makes musical alarms better for waking up? The researchers think the music may be more successful in reducing grogginess because it has several tones, compared to the single tone of a “beeping” alarm. 【4】 And is there a kind of music that is best to wake up to? There may be. 【5】

However, no matter how you wake up, experts say, the amount of sleep you get also matters a lot.

A．Can musical alarms work wonders?

B．So is there a better way to do the trick?

C．This can help you fall asleep more quickly and easily.

D．Alarm sounds that are easy to hum or sing along with may be good choices.

E．The researchers found that people who wake up to musical alarms reported feeling more awake.

F．The changes between the music tones may help increase a person’s attention when waking.

G．That hard, unpleasant sound may be making it harder to shake off the sleepy feeling.

23、How to plan your routes to avoid busy places

Whether you are a beginner or already a regular runner, these apps will come in handy for planning routes that avoid busy places on your next run.

Strava

Just put in whether you’re running or cycling, how far you’d like to go and whether you’re keen to avoid hills, the app will then suggest a number of routes near you, based on where other runners have been. It is a good way to see running routes you might not have explored.

Komoot

As you plan the route, it’ll work out the distance of your run and give you the option to input your running speed, allowing the app to work out how long the route shall take you.

Map my run

Map my run gives runners the option to plan their own route, or the ability to search through popular running routes near you, which is even more helpful for beginners. The app gives you the option of saving your favourite routes and accessing them on the app if you get lost mid-run.

OS Maps

Another hugely popular map-building platform, OS Maps is pretty high tech when it comes to planning a running route. You’ll need a subscription to get some of the features, but using the free app you can find local running routes. There are almost two million routes stored in the routes database, and many of them are free.

24、A Turning Point

Seventy years ago I was quite a small little girl. My father was very ill then, and my mother took in sewing(缝纫) of any kind so we could live. She would sew far into the night with an old sewing machine. She never complained even when the food would be very scarce(稀少).

Things were very bad that winter. Then a letter came from where her sewing machine was bought, saying that they would have to pick up her machine the next day unless payments were brought up to date. I remember when she read the letter I became frightened, I could picture us starving to death and all sorts of things that could come to a child's mind. My mother did not appear to be worried. However, she seemed to be quite calm about the matter. She said God would not disappoint her. I couldn’t see how God was going to help us keep this old sewing machine.

The day when the men came for our machine arrived. There was a knock at the kitchen door. I was frightened as a child would be, for I was sure it was those men who would take away our sewing machine. Instead, a nicely dressed man stood at our door with a darling baby in his arms.

He asked my mother if she was Mrs. Hill. When she said she was, he said, "I’m in trouble this morning and you have been recommended（推荐)by the neighbors as an honest and wonderful woman. My wife was rushed to the hospital this morning, and since we have no relatives here, and I must open my dentist office, I have nowhere to leave my baby. Could you possibly take care of her for a few days?" He continued, "I will pay you in advance." With this he took out ten dollars and gave it to my mother.

Mother said, "Yes, yes, I will be glad to do so," and took the baby from his arms. When the man left, my mother turned to me with tears streaming down a face that looked as though a light was shining on it. She said, "I knew God would never let them take away my machine."

【1】The turning point in the story may refer to ______.

A.a letter to the family B.the man’s coming for help

C.the man’s wife being rushed to the hospital D.the man’s trouble

【3】According to the text all the following are true to the man EXCEPT _____.

A.his wife stayed in hospital B.he was a dentist

C.he had no relatives here to turn to for help D.he came for our sewing machine

【4】What does mother mean by saying “I knew God would never let them take away my machine?”

A.God can’t live without the machine. B.The sewing machine is my only support.

C.Never give up when in trouble. D.Everybody should believe in God.
