21、Three Modern Services

When you're working a full-time job, studying or on the hunt for work, life can feel exhausting. The good news is that modern technology has made life easier in many ways, and with the following services, you'll find you have more time and energy for the things that matter.

Meal kit delivery services

Meal kit delivery services are one of the most underestimated innovations of the 21st century. How they work is simple. At the beginning you choose how many people need to eat in your household. Then, what your dietary requirements are, and any other preferences. Finally, you get to choose which meal kits will be delivered to your door.

No matter your diet, you can have an appropriate meal kit delivered. For example, check out these low carb meal delivery options. The kit comes complete with all the ingredients you need, already prepared. All you have to do is to follow the simple recipe to put them together and pop your meal in the oven.

With meal kit delivery, you don’t have to worry about cooking or spending money on takeout. Your trips to the grocery store will become easier and you'll waste less money and food.

Taskrabbit

One of the most frustrating aspects of having a place you call your own is that you have to take care of the maintenance(维修). Even if you are renting, there are certain tasks that your landlord will expect you to see to, whether a leaky tap or a problematic electrical appliance.

For this, Taskrabbit connects you with freelancers who are willing to take on just about any task for you. You can hire someone to take care of your leaky tap rather than spending your own time and energy doing it. You're giving someone work while enjoying your time off.

Postmates

Finally, one of the most convenient and useful services is, of course, Postmates. With Postmates, you can get just about anything delivered or deliver something yourself. You can get someone to do your groceries for you – simply make a list of what you need and choose whether the shopper should call you if something is out or if they can decide on replacements themselves.

You can also use it for takeout, to send or receive documents, and any other delivery needs you have.

We live in an age of convenience, and we should take advantage of it. Start using the above services and you'll see your stress levels drop.

22、A tender woman, or an independent one, which one would you prefer? A recent research shows that most people would choose the latter.

This type of woman is called a nühanzi (“tough woman”). Experts believe these characteristics have social and psychological roots among young females in China. Su Hao’s friends all call her a tough woman, because she can finish tough tasks usually carried out by men. For example, she carries 10-litre water to her dormitory on the 5th floor. “I depend on no one but myself,” she says.

According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily, tough women have become rather common in society. Of the 21,265 respondents, 78.5 percent said they are familiar with a tough woman. About 50 percent said they like women with tough characteristics, while less than 29 percent expressed the opposite view.

Why are tough women gaining popularity? Shen Meng, a psychological consultant, believes the fierce competition in society is contributing to this trend. “Women are often in a disadvantaged position compared to men,” Shen says. “In order to survive, they have to be independent, strong and tough.” Liu Xiaolin, professor of psychology at Wuhan Mental Health Center, believes tough women are brought up this way. They are often on close relationship with their fathers, who teach their daughters to be brave and decisive,” he says. As a result, these women are more likely to be psychologically healthy and more tolerant to stress, according to Liu.

Though Liu believes that this is a good trend, Hu Shenzhi, a psychologist at the Guangdong Sunflower Counseling Center, says the popularity of tough woman indicates an unclear line between gender identities, which can lead to relationship problems. “Some women with characteristics that differ from the traditional female image may have a difficult time finding Mr Right,” he says. “Even if they get married, their manly characteristics might cause family conflicts.

【1】Which of the followings doesn’t belong to the characteristics of a tough woman?

A. She is independent of others in daily life.

B. She can solve problems usually for men.

C. She is more tolerant to stress.

D. She is soft and tender to others.

【2】How many respondents like tough women?

A. about 21,265.   B. about 16,700

C. about 10,600.   D. about 6,200

【3】Why are there more tough women nowadays?

A. Because tough women are more lovely.

B. Because of the fierce competition in society.

C. Because girls often love fathers more.

D. Because more women want to be independent.

【4】What problems may tough women have in their life?

A. They may have difficulty with marriage.

B. They often suffer gender confusion.

C. It’s difficult for them to be friends.

D. They have different characteristics from traditional female images.

23、   Facing increasing pressure to raise students' scores on standardized tests, schools are urging kids to work harder by offering them obvious encouragements. Happy Meals are at the low end of the scale. With the help of businesses, schools are  also  giving  away  cars,  iPods,  seats  to basketball games, and — in a growing number of cases — cold, hard cash. The appeal of such programs is obvious, but the consequences of tying grades to goods are still uncertain. It's been a common tradition in middle­class families to reward top grades with cash as a way to teach that success in school leads to success in life. But for many disadvantaged minority children, the long­term benefits of getting an education are not so clear, according to experts.

No one knows for sure how well cash and other big­ticket rewards work in education in the long run. But there are plenty of concerns that this kind of practice could have negative effects on kids. Virginia Shiller, a clinical psychologist, says that it's worth experimenting with cash encouragements but that tying them to success on a test is not a worthwhile goal. “I'd rather see rewards based on effort and responsibility — things that will lead to success in life，” she says.

Even if rewards don't lead to individual achievement on a test, they could have a meaningful effect in the school. Charles McVean, a businessman and philanthropist (慈善家), started a tutoring program which pays higher­achieving  students $10 an hour to tutor struggling classmates and  divides them into teams. During the course of the year,  students bond and compete. The team posting the highest math scores wins the top cash prize of $100. McVean calls the combination of peer (同龄人) tutoring, competition，and cash encouragements a recipe for “nothing less than magic”．

For its part, the Seminole County Public Schools system in Florida plans to continue its report card encouragement program through the rest of the school year. The local McDonald's restaurants help the poor district by paying the  $1,600 cost of printing the report card. Regina Klaers, the district  spokeswoman,  says  most  parents  don't  seem bothered by the Happy Meals rewards. “There are many ways we try to urge students to do well, and sometimes it's through the stomach, and sometimes it's the probability of students winning a car，” she says. “One size doesn't fit all.”

【1】According to the text, it is a common practice for  schools to ________.

A．offer free meals to students with high scores

B．tie students' grades to material rewards

C．educate students to form a business sense

D．cooperate with business to improve teaching

【2】According to the text, the long­term results of giving     students cash as rewards in education are ________.

A．negative

B．optimistic

C．uncertain

D．disappointing

【3】The tutoring program run by Charles McVean ________.

A．hires some excellent teachers to teach the struggling  students

B．has a meaningful effect in inspiring students' enthusiasm  on study

C．is a program combining tutoring, competition and  future job offers

D．rewards the student with the highest scores with cash prize of $100

【4】We can learn that in Seminole County ________.

A．there are various ways to inspire students to study hard

B．many parents are not satisfied with the Happy Meals rewards

C．the local McDonald's restaurants provide the rewards for poor students

D．people are searching for a good­for­all method to urge students to do well

24、   Litterati is an app that people can use to upload information about litter they collect outside, such as its appearance, material, location, and brand. Shared online, this information contributes to building a global database of "litter maps", which can influence policy and packaging design.

"Society's failure to solve the litter problem has not been from a lack of trying. There have been public service announcements, and coastal cleanups. But I believe two components are missing from the discussion—community and data," said Jeff Kirschner, the developer of Litterati app.

Uploading pictures to an app shows users that they’re not the only ones picking up litter from public places and that others are invested in cleaning the planet, too. And the data accumulates rapidly, telling a story that helps people understand who picked up what, where, and when. In this way, people are encouraged to do more.

In San Francisco, the Litterati app was able to identify and map more than 5,000 pieces of litter in order to determine how much was caused by cigarettes specifically. Using this information the city successfully challenged a lawsuit by tobacco companies and doubled an existing cigarette sales tax, bringing in US $4 million annual revenue（税收）.

By joining forces with others using the same platform, individuals are able to take their anti-litter activism to another level. The power of combined data leads to more Extended Producer Responsibility, which is precisely what we want and advocate here—producers are forced to be responsible for dealing with their own products once consumers no longer find them useful and are incentivized to create more environmentally friendly packaging or better policies as a result of that new responsibility.

Litterati takes a refreshingly non-judgmental approach. It shows a positive we-can-do-it attitude. Just as Jef Kirschner said, "Our goal isn't to shame. It's to provide transparency to the problem. We provide access to data and share insights with cities, citizens and businesses, guiding us all to identify the root cause of the problem, and make informed decisions of how to clean the planet."

【1】What makes us fail to solve the litter problem according to Kirschner?

A．Lack of necessary data about litter.

B．The public's laziness in taking action

C．People's poor environmental awareness.

D．Absence of government publicity and support.

【2】Why are tobacco companies mentioned?

A．To show the influence of Litterati

B．To describe the details of the map

C．To warn people of the harm of cigarettes.

D．To prove the large consumption of tobacco.

【3】What does the underlined word "incentivized" in paragraph 5 most probably mean?

A．Allowed.

B．Appointed.

C．Inspired.

D．Believed.

【4】What is the advantage of Litterati?

A．It can sort out litter automatically

B．It makes litter problem transparent.

C．It can shame people into not littering.

D．It can guide people when they collect litter
