21、No one can be free from the sickening stress and anxiety from time to time. Not even that happy-go-lucky guy you see walking down the street whistling “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life”, since they are a part of the life. 【1】. Listed here are proven ways to control stress and anxiety.
Breathe
Taking a long and deep breath to calm yourself in stressful situations isn’t just one of those old wives’ tales. 【2】. Doctors say that slow, deep breathing can effectively cool down the angry blood that’s running around your body, allowing your brain and body to return to their normal functions.
Walk
Many hearsay techniques for dealing with stress often raise a few eyebrows. But a whole host of scientific evidence exists to suggest that walking is one of the best methods available. If you’re ever feeling the tension building up in your brain and body, drop everything and simply go for a walk. 【3】. Such a nice walk provides your body with an ideal outlet for the build-up of energy that stress can create.
Laugh
【4】. But if you are able to squeeze out even the smallest laugh during your day, you’ll soon begin to find that the effects of stress slowly slip away. When you laugh, the body releases happy hormones that ease tension brought on by stress.
Friends
Surrounding yourself with the people you love can be half the battle to defeating stress. When you are stressed, even sitting at home with a cup of tea with a friend can really help to relieve high levels of stress as it focuses your mind onto something you love. Don’t hesitate to reach for the phone and ring your friends whenever you feel stressed. 【5】.
A.After all, that’s what friends are for
B.So your friends will feel relieved soon
C.It’s a medically proven stress-relief technique
D.What can be done is to find ways to deal with them
E.Remind yourself to walk slowly and breathe normally
F.Hearty laughs allow you to feel happy and healthy again
G.If you’re stressed, the last thing you probably feel like doing is laughing
22、Jose Alberto Cutierrea’s life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighborhoods at night and seeing deserted books. It sparked his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He took home between 50 and 60 books every morning after his nine-hour shift. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library.
Colombia’s capital city of Bogota has 13 million residents and 19 public libraries. However, these libraries tend to be far away from where rural and poorer communities live. The option of buying new books is non-existent for families struggling to make ends meet. Having access to a library of books and being taken away to another world while immersed in a book is a luxury for the kids who visit Gutierrez’s library.
Gutierrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless, his mother was a keen reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutierrez, who never let a lack of formal education stop him from reading classics by the likes of Victor Hugo, Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Today, his community library, called “The Strength of Words”, occupies most of his home and is piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to story books can be found in his collection of more than 20,000 books!
The Strength of Words library opens every weekend. It is not just school-going children who are enjoying the benefits of The Strength of Words library. Adults are also welcome to expand their horizons and develop new skills to build a better life for themselves.
Despite having done so much for his community, Gutierrez is not yet content to call it a day. He continues to search through bins for reading material and has even travelled to book fairs in Mexico and Chile to sell his idea of building library from unwanted books.
【1】What is Gutierrez’s source of inspiration to build a community library?
A.A book in the trash.
B.The miserable childhood.
C.The desire to collect books.
D.A journey through wealthier neighborhoods.
【2】What can we learn about Gutierrez’s mother?
A.She was born into a poor family.
B.She influenced Gutierrez greatly.
C.She bought Gutierrez many books.
D.She enjoyed reading Hugo’s works.
【3】Which of the following can best describe Gutierrez?
A.Generous and brave.
B.Ambitious and curious.
C.Determined and sympathetic.
D.Creative and productive.
【4】What can be learned from Gutierrez’s story?
A.The power of love is infinite.
B.Where there is a will, there is a way.
C.Turn trash into treasure to help others.
D.Books are the ladder of human progress.
23、There's no guaranteed roadmap to success in study. However, changing your study habits and adjusting your approach to your classes can make a big difference.【1】
Get enough sleep
【2】. Your ability to remember can drop by as much as 40 percent if you haven't had adequate sleep. Aim to get adequate sleep as many nights as possible, and try to keep the same sleep schedule every night, even on weekends.
Know when you work best
Speaking of a sleep schedule, it's important to note that there is no one-size-fits-all study schedule.【3】, so you shouldn't feel pressured to maintain an uncomfortable schedule. As long as you are getting enough sleep and keeping up with your commitments, your schedule is up to you.
【4】
The Pomodoro Technique is a focusing method that relies on short bursts of intense work and plenty of breaks. To try the technique, set a timer for 25 minutes and work on a single task. When the timer rings, take a five-minute break, then set another 25-minute timer and get back to work. After four 25- minute intervals, take a longer break. You may find that the Pomodoro Method helps you get more done in a shorter period of time without feeling burnt out. Plus, short study breaks are known to improve concentration.
Sweat and study
There is a massive body of research that links exercise with good grades and improved learning and cognitive skills-especially if you exercise first and study second. 【5】, go for a quick walk. Fresh air and a change in environment will help you create connections and solve problems.
A.If you don't have time to hit the gym
B.Change attitudes
C.The importance of sleep cannot be overstated
D.Try the Pomodoro Method
E.High-stress study sessions can have harmful effects on both your GPA and your health
F.The following tips are a great place to start
G.There is plenty of research indicating benefits for both nighttime studying and early morning studying.
24、 They still bite, but new research shows lab-grown mosquitoes are fighting dengue fever — a dangerous disease that they normally would spread. Dengue infections appear to be dropping fast in communities in Indonesia, Vietnam, Brazil and Australia that are filled with the specially grown mosquitoes.
Researchers first injected (注射)mosquito eggs with Wolbachia bacteria that's common in insects and harmless to people in a lab. Infected females then pass the bacteria on through their eggs. Releasing enough Wolbachia carriers, both the females that bite and the males that don't, allows mating(交配)to spread the bacteria through a local mosquito population.
Rather than using chemicals to wipe out pests, “this is really about transforming the mosquito," said Cameron Simmons of the nonprofit World Mosquito Program, which is conducting the research.
The first success came from Australia. Mosquitoes carrying Wolbachia were released in parts of North Queensland starting in 2011, and gradually spread through the local mosquito population. Dengue is spread when a mosquito bites someone who is infected, and then bites another person, but somehow Wolbachia blocks that — and local spread has nearly disappeared in those North Queensland Communities, Simmons said.
The studies are continuing in other countries. But the findings, presented at a meeting of the American Society for Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, suggest it's possible to turn at least some mosquitoes from a public health threat into annoying biters.
The work marks “exciting progress," said Michigan State University professor Zhiyong Xi, who wasn't involved with the project but has long studied how Wolbachia can turn mosquitoes against themselves.
More research is needed, specialists cautioned. "The results are pretty exciting — strong levels of reductions — but there clearly are going to be things to be learned from the areas where the reductions are not as great," said Penn State University professor Elizabeth McGraw.
【1】What can we learn about the lab-grown mosquitoes?
A.They lose the ability to bite people.
