21、   Be careful of those solid gold pieces of advice. The friend who advises you to, say, stay in your relationship or leave your job may well be looking out for you; but she' s inescapably looking out for herself, too, whether she realises it or not.

Moreover, research suggests that people will generally advise you to act more cautiously than they would act themselves in a similar situation — perhaps because they don’t want to feel guilty if you take a daring leap and fall flat on your face.

There's a happy side to this, though, for parents, teachers, managers and anyone else who finds themselves in the position of needing to motivate others: far better than giving them advice is to give them the opportunity to give advice. A new study found that American middle-school pupils were much more enthusiastic about doing their homework after giving advice on the topic to younger children, as compared with after receiving advice from teachers. This motivational effect lasted weeks, and was also observed among adults who were attempting to lose weight, save money, control their temper or find a job. This result isn’t all that surprising, 1 suppose, when you consider how happy it feels to be invited to give advice. Faced with a challenge, we tend to assume we need to seek advice in order to obtain more knowledge about how to give advice; yet the truth, very often, is that we know exactly what we need to do — we just lack the confidence to do it.

This, by the way, is another good reason to keep a journal: you can use it to advise yourself. Your friends may have limited patience with your habit of lecturing them on their lives in order to feel better about your own, but a leather-effect notebook never complains.

Finally, this is a reminder that there are few bigger compliments (恭维) you can pay another person than to ask for their advice. Benjamin Franklin famously observed that to flatter (奉承) someone, it’s better to ask for a favour than to perform one: the favour-doer will come to think of you as the likable sort for whom they do favours.

【1】Why should you be careful of those solid gold pieces of advice?

A.They may be practical.

B.They may be rewarding.

C.They may be demanding.

D.They may be conservative.

【2】The examples in Paragraph 3 suggest that people giving advice   .

A.become more motivated to act

B.should turn to others for advice

C.are superior to the professionals

D.usually lack relevant knowledge

【3】What does the author want to convey by mentioning Benjamin Franklin?

A.Keeping a journal is a good habit.

B.You should be polite to the favour-doers.

C.You should be patient with your listeners.

D.Asking for a favour pleases the favour-doers.

22、   Constantly regret spending too much time on your phone but just cannot stop? You are not alone. Here are five tips from Prof. Mark Griffiths， psychologist and behavioral addiction expert at Nottingham Trent University to help you live well with your phone.

Step it down gradually

The urge to check your phone can become reflexive and habitual. For some， going a few minutes without checking their phone is difficult. If this sounds like you， try to go 15 minutes without doing it. Once you realize this is possible， increase the length of time you avoid checking to 30 minutes， an hour， and then a few hours， or a day.

Monitor usage

Download an app that will tell you how much time you're spending online. This could make you aware of a problem—the first step to a solution.

Buy an alarm clock

Don’t use your phone as an alarm， or you might be tempted(诱惑) to check texts and emails last thing at night and as soon as you wake up. Instead， ban phones from the bedroom. Designate bedtimes and mealtimes as smartphone-free zones. Consider buying a clock， so you're no longer tempted by emails and texts when you check the time.

Spring clean your contacts

How many online friends do you actually speak to? Reduce alerts and distractions by removing contacts on social networking sites， deleting unused apps， and unsubscribing from groups that offer little benefit. Consider deleting any games that are taking up a lot of your time.

Learn to wait

Be mindful of the benefits of not regularly checking your phone. People who react to messages as they arrive tend to write longer responses than those who wait and deal with them all as a block. Waiting will gain you time to spend on other activities.

【1】According to the passage， which of the following can help ban phones from the bed ?

A.Monitoring usage. B.Using a clock.

C.Cleaning contacts. D.Learning to wait.

【2】It can be learnt from the passage that_________.

A.games take up more time than other apps

B.reacting to messages in time is important

C.people are often tempted to use cell phones

D.people shouldn’t check emails by cell phones

【3】The purpose of the article is to_________.

A.introduce ways to manage phone usages

B.emphasize the harm of using cellphones

C.persuade readers to get rid of cellphones

D.explain multiple functions of cellphones

23、   Ride-hailing apps and robot cars promise to change how we get around and the effects are already being felt. Traffic in New York is slowing down. Jams are common in Manhattan, especially in its business districts. Daytime traffic in the busiest areas now moves almost 20% more slowly than it did five years ago.

It seems a place ripe for wide use of ride-hailing apps that, you might think, would reduce some of the jams. However, those apps appear to be making things worse as traffic has slowed in line with the growing popularity of apps such as Uber and Lyft, a study by transport expert Bruce Schaller suggests.

Over the four years of the study, the number of cars in Manhattan seeking ride-hailing fares increased by 81%. There are now about 68,000 ride-sharing drivers across New York. That’s about five times the number of the yellow cabs licensed to operate there, he found. There are so many drivers, his work suggests, who spend about 45% of their spare time just touring for fares. That is a lot of unused cars blocking a lot of busy streets.

Simple physics explains why ride-sharing vehicles are causing, not curing jams, said Jarrett Walker, a public transport policy expert who has advised hundreds of cities about moving people.

“Lots of people are deciding that, ’Oh, public transport is just too much trouble this morning,’ or whenever, which causes a shift from it,” he told the BBC. “That means moving people from larger vehicles into smaller ones, which means more vehicles to move the same people. Therefore, more traffic.”

Data gathered about ride-sharing drivers illustrates how they contribute to congestion(塞车), said Prof. Christo Wilson, a computer scientist at Northeastern University who has studied the services. “You can look at the traffic pattern for the Uber vehicles and it perfectly matches the peaks for the rush hour and the peak time of a day,” he said. They are out there in force at the worst possible times.

【1】What can we know about the cabs in New York?

A. More cabs are needed to meet the demand.

B. They often tour around the city seeking users.

C. Their fares increased greatly over the four years.

D. The number of them is far less than ride-sharing cars.

【2】What is Christo Wilson’s attitude toward ride-sharing practice?

A. Neutral B. Negative

C. Indifferent D. Supportive

【3】Which of the following best replaces “it” underlined in Paragraph 5.

A. A jam. B. Public transport

C. A car. D. A ride-sharing vehicle.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A. Worse Road Jams. B. App Makes Terrible Jams.

C. Efforts Needed for Traffic. D. Technology Counts in Future.

24、   Sending children outside to play during the winter is one of the best things you can do for them. 【1】 It also gives parents a brief relief from the chaos.

【2】 Children between 12 months and 6 years of age should spend 60 and 90 minutes outdoors each day, children older than that should get an hour too, and babies should be taken out several times a day and exposed to the fresh outdoor air.

Successful winter play is closely tied to the way children are dressed. Unless outfitted properly, they will have a miserable time and ask to come back in within minutes of heading out. 【3】

Staying dry is crucial, so even if it’s not that cold out, put rain pants on a child to keep their legs dry and break the wind. Use boots that are high and waterproof. Choose heavy socks and a hat that are made of wool, as these take moisture away from a warm active body most effectively. Mittens(连指手套) are much warmer than gloves, and having a scarf or neck warmer makes a difference, too. 【4】 Make sure they have a good range of movement that allows them to play and keep active outside.

If you think it’s a lot of work getting them ready to go out, just wait till they come back in. 【5】 Everything has to be dry before the next outing. So don’t skip this step or you’ll have angry, cold children in a few hours’ time and a whole lot of regret on your part.

A．That’s when it gets really busy!

B．It gives them a space to consume energy.

C．Cotton does not do this and will leave feet feeling wet and cold.

D．Don’t overdress a child, though, because then they will get too sweaty.

E．National guidelines recommend lengths of outdoor exercise for children.

F．Don’t hesitate to cut the playtime short if your child is unhappy or cold outside.

G．It’s best to ensure they’re comfortable so they’ll stay out for a decent length of time.
