21、Is it likely that your siblings (兄弟姐妹) fought like cats and dogs with you when you were younger? 【1】 Here’s why.

Siblings can help you have a healthier lifestyle. This is supported by a study that surveyed more than 15, 000 people. 【2】 Brothers and sisters are readily available fitness and healthy-eating friends. That can only be a bonus when you reach adulthood.

【3】 According to a study among 395 families, scientists found that having siblings made you more likely to do good deeds. It could be that having a same-generation relative encourages you to think about others, which can lead to greater life satisfaction, and fewer depressive symptoms.

Brothers and sisters improve your chances of a happy marriage. Research found that the more siblings you have, the lower your chance of getting divorced (离婚) is. In fact, for each additional one, your risk of marriage breakdown was three per cent less. 【4】 .

Having good friends can bring many of the same benefits. 【5】 Don’t panic. Research also shows that having close friends can boost your health, well-being and longevity (寿命). Make friends by signing up to groups or classes and finding people who enjoy the same things as you do.

A．That bond is vital as you enter old age.

B．Siblings can protect you from depression.

C．Having siblings makes you do an act of charity.

D．But they can actually boost your physical and mental health.

E．We don’t all have siblings, or you might live far away from yours.

22、“A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right", says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people．She firmly believes that there is and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is．In Mollie’s opinion, it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing．"If you aren't telling a story, you’re a very dead writer indeed．" she says．With the chief function of a writer being to entertain, Mollie is indeed an entertainer．"I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,’ she says, "This love goes back to early childhood．I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said ‘Nonsense, Mollie; dear, you’ll be a writer.’ So finally I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer．"

This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical（自传体的） and gives a picture both of Mollie’s ambition and her struggle towards its achievement．Thoughts of her childhood inevitably（不可避免地） brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup（金凤花）meadows and strawberry fields—sadly now covered with modern houses．"I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood．I’ll never go back, "she said．"Never．When I set one of my books in Scotland” she said, “I can recall my romantic feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work．And that’s important because children now know so much so early that romance can't exist for them, as it did for us.”

【1】What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book?

A．It should not aim at a narrow audience.

B．It should be attractive to young readers.

C．It should be based on original ideas.

D．It should not include too much conversation.

【2】In Mollie Hunter’ s opinion, which of the following is one sign of a poor writer?

A．Being poor in life experience.

B．Being short of writing skills.

C．The weakness of description.

D．The absence of a story.

【3】What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a young child?

A．She expected to become a writer.

B．She didn’t enjoy writing stories.

C．She didn’t have any particular life aims.

D．She didn’t respect her teacher’ views.

【4】What’s the writer’s purpose in this text?

A．To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter’s book.

B．To introduce Mollie Hunter’s works to a wider audience．

C．To provide information for Mollie Hunter’s existing readers．

D．To describe Mollie Hunter’s most successful books．

23、We all know the feeling of waking up in the middle of the night with a pounding heart and sweaty palms. Relax, you say to yourself—it was Just a bad dream. Well, it may be that you really should relax, because nightmares might actually be good for you.

According to New York magazine, bad dreams can improve your mental health. A bad dream tends to be based on a real-life concern, for example, an approaching test or a fear of a person. To eliminate these worries the brain turns the dream into a story in the form of a bad dream.

A bad dream enables you to distance yourself from your anxieties, and tum something you're worried about now into a memory. The result is that when you wake up, you're able to move forward and face the future.

A study, featured in The Atlantic magazine, showed something similar. In a survey of more than 700 French students taking a medical school entrance exam, over 60 percent had negative dreams about the test the night before. These included not finishing on time, leaving a question blank, or being late. Those who reported dreams about the exam, even bad ones, did better on it than those who didn't, suggesting that nightmares do in fact prepare us for the failure.

"We think nightmares are so common that they have some purpose to process stressors," Anne Genuain, director of the Sleep Center at the University of Pittsburgh, said.

So, the next time you lie awake at night after a bad dream, remember that it may be the brain's way of putting your fears behind you and readying you for the future. Although a nightmare may make you afraid in the short term, it might be helping you to move on from the bad stuff you might be facing in the real world. Perhaps we should try to accept our nightmares rather than allow them to keep us awake. After all, lack of sleep causes far more problems than dreams do.

【1】Which of the following best explains "eliminate" in Paragraph 2?

A．Remove.

B．Reflect.

C．Satisfy.

D．Sacrifice.

【2】Why does the author mention the study in the fourth paragraph?

A．To show medical school entrance exams will cause anxiety.

B．To show those who have nightmares will do worse in an exam.

C．To show most of the students will be stressed before an exam.

D．To show nightmares help students perform better in an exam.

【3】According to the author, what should we do if We have a bad dream?

A．We should keep ourselves awake.

B．We should relax and go on sleeping.

C．We should study bad dreams carefully.

D．We should prevent it from happening.

【4】Where is this text most likely from?

A．A diary.

B．A guidebook

C．A novel

D．A magazine

24、A dog might be man’s best friend, but my dogs are more like my kids! I think everyone should experience the unconditional love of a dog, but owning one is not for the nervousness. It’s work—especially when it comes to the job of cleaning up their waste. When you clean up after your dogs, your neighbors will love you for keeping those smelly landmines out of their yards. But there are even bigger benefits. You’ll not only be doing your part to keep bacteria out of your yard and neighborhood, you’re also keeping harmful microorganisms away from the drinking water supply.

There are more than 77 million pet dogs in the United States and their waste is found in backyards, neighborhood parks, and the green areas that frequently line small waterways. When you don’t clean up after your dog, heavy rain can carry bacteria from the waste into drains. Dog waste left in parks and other such places can be swept directly into nearby streams. This affects the quality of the water in our streams. These small channels often empty directly into our local drinking water supply or the water where we boat or fish.

Dog waste contains harmful microorganisms like roundworms that can be passed onto humans. This is why dog waste should not be used as fertilizer around your home. And it won’t fertilize your yard either if you leave it behind like other types of fertilizer. Dogs don’t eat the same kinds of natural material that cattle, horses or even elephants eat. The waste from those animals is actually beneficial for your yard and garden.

You should always pick up after your dog and throw the waste into the trash can. Some smaller cities might prefer the waste to be washed down the toilet, but in cities where there are many dogs, it’s best to send the waste to the landfill.

When you properly deal with your dog’s waste, you’ll be doing your part to keep harmful bacteria out of your yards, your neighborhoods and your drinking water.

【1】What is the first paragraph mainly about?

A. The author’s dog is as lovely as a child.

B. Dog waste can pollute the environment.

C. Owning a dog is a troublesome experience.

D. Dog waste is more harmful than landmines.

【2】Which shows the right organization of the passage?

（P1 ＝ Paragraph 1; P2 ＝ Paragraph 2; P3 ＝ Paragraph 3; P4 ＝ Paragraph 4; P5 ＝ Paragraph 5）

【3】Which of the following statements about dog waste is true?

A. It makes a kind of natural fertilizer of high quality.

B. The microorganisms in dog waste are helpful to water.

C. It is better to wash dog waste down a toilet or bury it in a landfill.

D. Dog waste is more beneficial to soil than other kinds of animal waste.

【4】What is the main purpose of this passage?

A. To scold those who ignore their dog’s waste.

B. To introduce ways of cleaning up dog waste.

C. To warn dog owners about the danger of dog waste.

D. To argue it is the duty of the owners to clean up dog waste.
