21、

We touch our faces all the time, and it had never seemed to be a big problem–until COVID-19 arrived. Touching our faces–the "T-zone" of our eyes, nose and mouth in particular–can mean giving ourselves the deadly virus.

This is why organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have suggested that we avoid touching our faces. "Just stop this simple behavior," William Sawyer, founder of Henry the Hand, a nonprofit organization that promotes hand hygiene (卫生), told The Washington Post. "It's the one behavior that would be better than any vaccine ever created."

Yet, stopping this "simple" behavior might be harder than you think because it's already into our system.

Some face touching is an automatic reflex (反射) – like when there is an itch on your nose, you'll scratch (挠) it without thinking. According to CNBC, a 2014 study found that touching your face also helps to reduce stress and regulate emotions. For example, you're more likely to do it when you feel awkward or embarrassed. According to Dacher Keltner, a psychologist at the University of California Berkeley, US, this action may also come with a social function: When you are talking to someone and want to change the subject, for example, touching your face is like "the curtains on a stage, closing up one act of the social drama, leading to the next," Keltner told the BBC.

Moreover, face-touching in almost all of these is subconscious, which means it's very hard to change "because you don't even know you're doing it", said Sawyer. But you're not alone. In a 2015 study, where a group of medical students were filmed in class, it was found that they touched their faces an average of 23 times an hour–with 44 percent of the touches being in the"T-zones". That was particularly surprising since medical students were supposed to know better.

Since it's so hard to shake the habit, maybe the easiest way is to wash our hands more often. This way, we can be sure that our hands are free from the novel coronavirus.

Tips for keeping your hands away

Tie up your hair so your face won't be tickled (使发痒) by stray strands (松散的发缕).

Keep your hands occupied, eg. with a stress ball.

Ask a friend to keep an eye on your hands.

【1】It's hard to stop touching faces because people ________.

A．don't take it seriously

B．do it without awareness

C．are born with the behavior

D．feel happier while doing it

【2】What does the underlined word "subconscious" mean?

A．Obvious.

B．Natural.

C．Strange.

D．Impolite.

【3】Which of the following is a social function of touching faces, according to the text?

A．Bringing a conversation to an end.

B．Making others feel relaxed while talking.

C．Showing an interest in the ongoing subject.

D．Using it as a sign to change the topic.

【4】What is the author's purpose in mentioning a 2015 study on a group of medical students?

A．To give tips on how to stop touching faces.

B．To prove that it is common for people to touch their faces.

C．To show how hygiene awareness helps people avoid touching their faces.

D．To show it is impossible to shake the habit of touching your face.

22、   You may not realize it, but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school. School is also the place where you learn to get on well with people. But this is not always easy. What can you do if you just don’t like one of your classmates?

If you discover (发现) that you have problems getting on with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance. Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect (尊敬) the differences in others. We can not change the way that other people do, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.

Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other. Getting to know someone may help you understand why he does things differently. Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance teaches us to keep a temperate and open mind.

You need to remember an old saying, “Treat others how you want to be treated”. If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in. Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change.

It is important to practice tolerance, because it will make everyone’s life easier. Learn to accept people for their different abilities and interests. The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference.

B. living with people of the same interests is easier

C. practicing tolerance at school can help make a better world

23、In 2007, Barrington Irving became the youngest person to fly alone around the world. He was just 23 years old—and he built the plane himself. How did he achieve this?

Irving’s interest in flying started when he was 15. He was working in his parents’ bookstore in Miami, Florida. One of the customers was a pilot. Gary Robinson. One day, Robinson asked Irving if he was interested in flying. Irving didn’t think he was smart enough. But the next day, Robinson took Irving to an airport. He showed Irving inside the cockpit(驾驶舱)of a Boeing 777. That experience changed Irving’s life.

Irving really wanted to fly, but flight school was expensive. To achieve his dream, he worked different jobs. He washed airplanes and cleaned swimming pools. At home he practiced flying on a video game. In the end, he got enough money for flight school.

At flight school, Irving achieved his dream of learning how to fly. But he wasn’t finished. Next, he planned to build his own plane and fly alone around the world.

Building the plane was difficult. Irving asked more than 50 companies for airplane parts. Most said no, but he persisted(顽强地坚持)in asking. Three years later, he had parts worth $300,000. Columbia, an airplane company, agreed to build a plane using the parts. Soon, his airplane was ready to fly.

On March 23, 2007, Irving began his round-the-world trip. After 97 days-with 145 hours in the air-he landed back in Miami. A crowd of cheering people were there to welcome him.

Irving saw many young people in the crowd, and this had a powerful effect(影响)on him. He wanted to use his experience to help other young people achieve their own dreams.

“Everyone told me what I couldn’t do.” says Irving. “They said I was too young, that I didn’t have enough money. But even if no one believes in your dream,” he says, “you have to pursue(追求)it.”

【1】Why was Gary Robinson important in Irving’s life?

A．He got Irving interested in flying.

B．He sent Irving to a flight school.

C．He helped Irving build a plane.

D．He taught Irving how to fly.

A．c-d-a-b

B．c-a-d-b

C．c-b-a-d

D．b-c-d-a

【3】What can we know about Irving’s personality according to the passage?

A．Clever and honest.

B．Humorous and responsible.

C．Polite and powerful.

D．Hard-working and persistent.

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A．Becoming a pilot

B．Life in flight school

C．Achieving a dream

D．Building your own plane

24、Ways to Predict the Weather Without a Forecast

Most of us know about the weather from the weather report. However, we can know the weather by ourselves. It is a fun hobby, and it can also be a useful skill if you enjoy outdoor activities, such as hiking or camping. By learning what to look for, you can predict(预测) the weather.

▲Watch the Wind and Air.

Observe the direction(方向) of wind. Wind comes when air moves. Since weather moves in from the west, westerly winds bring good weather. Easterly winds suggest that the bad weather is coming toward you.

You can use grass or flower petals(花瓣) to decide the direction of the wind. Throw your grass or flower petals into the air and watch the direction of the wind.

▲Watch smoke from a fire.

The air pressure(压力) decides what direction the smoke will go. In high pressure high up in the sky, the smoke will go up into the air. If the pressure is low, it will be back down around the fire. If you see the smoke back down, bad weather is likely on the way.

▲Take a deep breath.

Close your eyes and smell the air. Smells become wet right before a storm, making them stronger. Before a storm, you should also notice a compost(堆肥) smell as plants release(释放) their waste. If you start to smell this, it likely means that a storm is coming.

【1】The underlined word “Observe” means ________.

A．have

B．play

C．watch

D．smell

【2】Which of the following is true?

A．The grass stands still in the wind.

B．The flower petals can’t tell us anything about the weather.

C．The air pressure is the same in all the places.

D．You can smell the air to know about the weather.

【3】The main idea is about _________.

A．the wind is strong

B．how to tell the weather

C．how to get home earlier

D．how to travel

25、根据上下文，用所给词适当形式填空或填入所缺的词。

At 9:00 a.m. yesterday, bus No.26 was going along Zhonghua Road when the 【1】 (drive) saw an old man lying on the side of the road. A woman next to him was 【2】 (shout) for help.

The bus driver, 24-year-old Wang Ping, stopped the bus without 【3】 (think) twice. He got off and asked the woman what happened.

He expected most or all of the passengers to get off and wait for the next bus. But to his surprise, they all agreed to go with him. Some passengers helped Mr. Wang to move the man on the bus.

Thanks 【6】 Mr. Wang and the passengers, the doctors saved the man in time. “It’s sad that many people don’t want to help others because they don’t want any trouble,” says one passenger. “But the driver didn’t think about 【7】 (he). He only thought about 【8】 (save) a life.”
