21、We know sleep is more important than aimlessly scrolling(浏览)on social media. So,why do we choose scrolling over sleeping?
【1】You scroll through your favorite apps for what feels like ten minutes, but then you realize hours have passed. You wake up tired the next morning and go to work sleepy but do the same thing again that night.
If you can relate to it, you’re not alone. Now called“revenge bedtime procrastination(报复性睡前拖延症).”this phenomenon is described as the tendency to give up sleep for leisure time that is driven by a busy daily schedule.Spending most of their waking hours working, people experience a serious lack of“me time” when they can be free of responsibilities.【2】 Some people satisfy the desire by doing things often thought of as lazy or a waste of time【3】 By indulging(沉溺)in such activities in the small hours when the world is asleep people get a sense of“revenge”and regain control of their lives.
Revenge bedtime procrastination is experienced differently by various groups, though driven by the same reasons.Parents of young children spend most of their day trying to balance work and childcare, so they are thirsty for some time alone.For them,this is only possible at night. 【4】
Are people really driven to stay up for “me time”-or just night owls who prefer nighttime?【5】People indulging in bedtime procrastination do so at the cost of their health and work, while night owls don’t necessarily fight for me time”at any cost.

C.Therefore, there is a powerful desire for personal time
D.One way to tell the two apart is to notice the consequences.
E.For example, they scroll through apps or watch TV shows nonstop
F.More research is needed to confirm if the two phenomena are related
G.Likewise, employees in high-stress jobs tend to have bedtime procrastination
22、Running is often tiring and a lot of hard work, but nothing beats the feeling you get after finishing a long workout around the track.
But while it’s long been believed that endorphins (脑内啡) — chemicals in the body that cause happiness — are behind the so-called “runner’s high”, a study suggested that there may be more to this phenomenon than we previously knew.
According to a recent study published by a group of scientists from several German universities, a group of chemicals called endocannabinoids (内源性大麻素) may actually be responsible for this familiar great feeling.
To test this theory, the scientists turned to mice.
Both mice and humans release high levels of endorphins and endocannabinoids after exercise, along with many other chemicals. After exercising on running wheels, the mice seemed happy and relaxed and displayed no signs of anxiety.
But after being given a drug to block their endorphins the change. However, when their endocannabinoids were block with a different drug, their runner’s high symptoms seemed to fade.
“The long-held notion of endorphins being responsible for the runner's high is false. Endorphins are effective pain relievers, but only when it comes to the pain in your body and muscles you feel after working out,” Patrick Lucas Austin wrote on science blog Lifchacker.
Similar studies are yet to be carried out on humans, but it’s already well known that exercise is a highly effective way to get rid of stress or anxiety.
The UK’s National Health Service even prescribes (开药方) exercise to patients who are suffering from depression.
“Being depressed can leave you feeling low in energy, which might put you off being more active. Regular exercise can boost your mood if you have depression, and it’s especially useful for people with mild to moderate (中等的) depression,” it wrote on its website.
It seems like nothing can beat that feeling we get after a good workout, even if we don’t fully understand where it comes from. At least if we’re feeling down, we know that all we have to do is put on our running shoes.
【1】What did scientists from German universities recently discover?
A.Working out is a highly effective way to treat depression.
B.The runner’s high could be caused by endocannabinoids.
C.Endorphins may contribute to one’s high spirits after running.

A.find what reduces the runner’s high symptoms
B.see the specific symptoms of the runner’s high

D.test what influences the level of endocannabinoids released

23、Two hours from the tall buildings of Philadelphia live some of the world's largest bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance(丰富)of other wildlife.
The streams, lakes, grasslands, mountain and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Pocono's natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy named the area one of America's "Last Great Places".
Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Bud Cook, the president of the Conservancy, is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forming partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area.
Altemose's family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two year ago, Francis worked with the local branch of the Nature Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family's land can be protected from development and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson.
Cook attributes the Conservancy's success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents.
"The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community," Cook said. "The people who live here respect the land. They value quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with conservation efforts."

24、Ecoducts: The Safe Way to Cross the Road
How does an animal cross a road safely? The short answer is: it often doesn’t! Every year around the word, thousands of animals are killed or injured by cars, trucks, and trains on our busy roads and railway systems.
France was the first country to build wildlife crossings to help animals get across roads safely. The French designed these structures to protect animals from the busy traffic. Since then, many other countries have also built wildlife crossings.【1】
Ecoducts, also called “ green bridges”, are structures that engineers build over big roads and highways.【2】Cars, vans, and trucks go under the ecoducts, through a tunnel, and the animals walk over the ecoduct, above the road or highway.
At Banff National Park, in Alberta, Canada, park employees have labored hard to make more than 40 ecoducts. Some of the ecoducts in Banff are bridges that cross over the highway.【3】Others are called underpasses. These are tunnels that go under a road. Most ecoducts have soil and plants on them which provide a good environment for wildlife and encourage animals to use the structures. Some ecoducts, including many in Canada and in Florida, are made extremely big so that black bears, deer, and the Florida panther will use them.
【4】Perhaps you’re distrustful about this idea. You shouldn’t be, because animals do use them! At first animals can be a little unsettled of the crossings. Experts say that some bears can take as long as five years to start using them. When animals realize that the ecoducts are safe, they use them a lot! So far, since Banff National Park began to make notes about the ecoducts in 1997, eleven different species of mammals have used the overpasses and underpasses more than 200, 000 times !
Ecoducts are a great way to protect wildlife from traffic.【5】But for now even snakes can get itself across a road safely thanks to ecoducts!
A.Were endangered animals saved from dying out?
B.But do animals really use these man-made bridges?
C.These are called overpasses because they go over a road.
D.They allow many different types of animals to cross safely to the other side.
E.In the Netherlands there are over 600 special bridges and tunnels, called ecoducts.
F.Countries will be building many more of these structures around the world in the future.
G.France used to be known for its dangerous car crashes with animals until the roads were upgraded.
