21、Children in England will no longer be able to buy energy drinks. The UK government has made plans to ban (禁止) the sale of energy drinks to kids. It is now asking for public suggestions as to what age the ban should start at (16 or 18), the BBC reported.

An energy drink is a type of drink that contains stimulants (兴奋剂), such as caffeine (咖啡因). Red Bull is one of the most famous energy drinks. The makers of these drinks say that they can give you energy when you feel tired.

However, these drinks have very high levels of sugar and caffeine. Energy drinks have 65 percent more sugar than normal soft drinks. This may explain why obesity (肥胖) rates have risen among children.

Too much caffeine can lead to health problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness. A 250 ml can of Red bull contains about 80 mg of caffeine, three times the level of a can of Coca Cola, The Guardian noted.

In the UK, more than two thirds of 10-to-17-year-olds buy energy drinks, according to the government date. Childhood obesity is one of the greatest health challenges (挑战) this country faces. It’s important that we do all we can to make sure children have the best start in life,” the UK former Prime Minister Theresa May said in a statement.

The ban would apply to (应用于) drinks containing more than 150 mg of caffeine per liter. Under the ban, shops in England that sell the drinks to children would face fines of up to t2,500 (22,070 yuan).

【1】According to the ban, how many mg of caffeine in drinks can be sold to children?

A．80 mg

B．65 mg

C．less than 150 mg

D．more than 150 mg

【2】What does the underlined word “This” refer to?

A．sugar

B．energy drink

C．soft drink

D．caffeine

【3】What is an energy drink?

A．It’s a type of drink that contains a lot of milk.

B．It’s a type of drink that has a very low level of caffeine.

C．It’s a type of drink that contains stimulants.

D．It’s a type of drink that can keep you healthy.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A．The ban will be carried out around the world.

B．Shops that are against the ban would not be punished.

C．The UK will ban the sale of all drinks to children.

D．Energy drinks do a lot of harm to children’s health.

22、David walked down the street. All he wanted to do was to play basketball with Jim. But his mother told him to return his sister’s books to the library on his way to Jim’s house.

In his eyes, books and summertime just don’t go together. He thought he had read a lot during the school year. And he had never set foot inside a public library. Today he’d just drop the books off in the outside return box, but it was locked. He had to go inside to return them.

David walked inside the building a few minutes before closing time. He put the books into the return box. After a quick drink of water and a short stop in the toilet, he’d be on his way to meet Jim. He walked out of the toilet. The library lights were turned off. He was locked in a library.

David tried to use the telephone, but he couldn’t find one. As the sun began to set, he searched for a light and found a little one on the desk. He used a pencil to write a note on a big piece of paper. It read, “I’m locked inside. Please call for help.” He put it on the front door. Surely, someone passing by would see it. He then turned his attention to the library itself.

He was surprised to discover that this place was not so bad. Rows and rows of books! When he saw a book about Michael Jordan on the desk, he picked it up. He opened the book and began to read. He felt that being locked in the library didn’t seem to be such a terrible thing.

23、In July, 2021, China carries out (实行) the “double reduction” policy (双减政策) for students in primary and middle schools. Do you do your homework for hours? Do you have more time to do your favorite things after school? Some students talked about them. Let’s see what they said.

Wang Lei, 13, Shanghai

With the “double reduction”, I have more time to do after-school activities such as reading and playing sports. I can play sports with my classmates on weekends and I can watch soccer, volleyball, tennis and all sports games on TV, too. It’s really relaxing.

Li Xin, 11, Changsha

The “double reduction” policy really helps me. Our homework is less than before. I do my homework of all subjects for less than one hour every day. I can finish it at school, so I don’t need to take it home. I’m also happy to find that there are fewer exams.

Zhang Hui, 14, Beijing

The good thing about the “double reduction” is that we have more interesting subjects. I can learn useful skills at school. Also, I’m free on Saturdays and Sundays. I have more time to do what I really like to do!

【1】China carries out the “double reduction” policy for students in all kinds of schools.

【2】Wang Lei is a 13-year-old student from Shanghai.

【3】It takes Li Xin more than one hour to finish his homework of all subjects every day.

【4】Zhang Hui thinks the good thing about “double reduction” is that there are fewer exams.

【5】Li Xin is the youngest of the three students.
