21、   Nowadays, people have been using technology more than ever to stay connected to the outside world. Scammers (诈骗犯）are keyed into the facts and are taking advantage. It’s the classic tech-support scam, and it is spreading widely right now.

How it works

• You receive a phone call from what appears to be Microsoft or another big tech company, claiming they detected a virus on your device that requires your immediate attention.

• Or you sit down to your device to find a pop-up message warning that your device is infected and you need to call the number in the message or click a link right away.

• A “technician” explains the severity of the issue, requests remote access to your device and then shows you “the problem.”

• The “technician” can fix your problem for a fee, and then may offer you a monthly subscription to keep your device safe.

• The “technician” often calls back months later, offers you a refund and asks for your bank account information to deposit the money.

How to keep safe from getting scammed

• Apple, Microsoft, and other reputable tech companies do not contact customers about “tech support,” unless the customer starts communication.

• If a pop-up or error message appears with a phone number, don’t call the number. Error and warning messages never include phone numbers.

• Never pay for tech support or other services with a money transfer app, gift card, cash reload card, or wire transfer.

• Never trust any company — tech or otherwise — requesting personal or financial information.

• Keep your security software, browser, and operating system up to date, and consider using your browser’s popup blocker.

22、During these past few days I have been reflecting a lot on everything that happened this past year and thinking of what I can do differently so that the coming year will be much better! Here I want to share some tips so you can also do your resolution and you can achieve them all!

·Be realistic: You should always try to reach for the skies with your goals, but things like “I want to win the lottery（彩票）” or “I want to lose 80 pounds in 1 month” are things you shouldn’t have on your list because they will only become frustrations.

·Be detailed: It’s a lot easier to accomplish more specific plans than general ones. Instead of writing “I want to lose weight,” put things like “I will start my Yes You Can! Diet Plan the first Monday of the year” or “I will start a movement routine 3 times a week for 35 minutes.” When we put down concrete activities, we commit ourselves to them and it becomes a lot harder to come up with excuses.

·Think of alternatives: At the beginning of this past year, you put that you were going to start going to the gym as one of your annual plans. During the whole year you intended to take action but you always said that you couldn’t because you came home so tired from work. If this is one of your plans for this year, you should write down how you’re going to achieve it. For example, “I will start going to the gym in the mornings, before work.” That way you prevent what stopped you from achieving your goal last year.

·Focus on goals which depend on YOU: It is very important that all of your plans are for YOU to accomplish, and it is important that you write them down that way. If one of your goals this coming year is to improve a relationship with one of your family members, make sure that you clearly put down what you are going to do for this to succeed. For example, “I will call my sister at least three times a week and I will visit her in the middle of the year.”

Well, I hope that you use these tips so that this year you will accomplish everything you want, and make it the best year ever! Thank you for being with me during everything this past year, and I hope that you keep showing me all of this love and support during the next. Happy new year!

【1】 Why isn’t “I want to win the lottery” recommended as a New Year plan?

A. Because it is very likely to fail.

B. Because it is too easy to realize.

C. Because it is not big enough as a goal.

D. Because it is not easier than losing weight.

【2】 The underlined word commit in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by the word_______.

A. devote B. determine C. adjust D. force

【3】When you failed to accomplish your plan last year, you’re advised to ______.

A. take action instead of writing it down

B. give up the same plan this year

C. put down the way to realize it

D. stop making any plans

【4】According to the passage, which of the following is the best plan?

24、Many of the world’s largest consumer product companies, including Coca-Cola, Unilever and PepsiCo, have set ambitious targets for replacing original plastics with recycled ones-typically 25% of their total packaging by 2025. So far, however, most companies have made modest progress and will need to accelerate their efforts to reach these high goals, according to a new cover story in Chemical& Engineering News, an independent news outlet of the American Chemical Society.

In the U.S., only about 10% of plastics are recycled into new products, compared with nearly33% in Europe, writes senior editor Alex Tullo. Facing increasing consumer pressure, many companies have made big promises to increase the amount of recycled plastics they use in packaging to 25%-50% by 2025 or 2030. However, most currently hover at a recycling rate between 2% and 12%, meaning that they will need to greatly speed up their efforts in order to succeed. Meeting the goals will require new technologies to help make plastics easier to recycle, as well as widespread collaboration and investment among brand owners, consumers, recycling facilities, chemical companies and others.

In traditional mechanical recycling, facilities sort through consumers’ recyclables collected local trash porters, separating plastics from metal, glass and other materials. To ease this dud process, AMP Robotics has developed a machine with learning-based technology that identify different types of plastics and pulls unwanted materials off the line with an inflated(充气的)arm. Next, the separated plastics are cut, washed, melted and reshaped. Then, plastics intended for food packaging undergo additional finishing steps.

Although recycling firms have developed new technologies, such as solvent extraction(溶剂萃取), to recycle different types of plastic more efficiently, consumer product companies must redesign their packaging, for example, by removing various plastics and metalized layers, to make them easier to recycle. Also, experts say that consumers need to do their part by putting more of their used plastics into recycling bins.

【1】To achieve the high goals in recycling, what need those companies do?

A．Promise to use more recycled plastics in packaging.

B．Connect new technologies with traditional recycling.

C．Turn to AMP Robotics with learning-based technology.

D．Combine new technologies, cooperation with financial support.

【2】Compared with traditional recycling, what is the advantage of AMP Robotics?

A．It can separate plastics from multiple materials.

B．It can identify and pick out the unwanted plastics.

C．It can recycle plastics for food packaging directly.

D．It can use solvent extraction to ease plastics recycling.

【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Solvent extraction is a traditional recycling method.

B．Consumers are expected to practice garbage classification.

C．Recycling firms should remove plastics layers to ease recycling.

D．Redesigning packaging makes no difference in plastics recycling.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Traditional recycling will be replaced.

B．Redesigning the food packaging is very urgent.

C．New technologies are much needed in plastics recycling.

D．There’s a long way to go for plastics recycling.
