21、It’s a question that has been asked for years: Is a dishwasher or washing dishes by hand greener? Which uses less energy and water?

A few years ago, the answer was that the dishwasher was better but a very careful hand-washer could probably use about the same amount of water and less energy. However, much has changed since then. Technology combined with good design has made the dish washer greatly better over the years, to the point where there’s hardly a question. Studies are showing that modern dishwashers can save more water than most hand-washers.

Dishwashers are even more efficient. Modern dishwashers have pre-heaters that increase the water temperature up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit to sanitize them. The dishwasher also has a timer that lets you set it to turn on at a later time when the power rates are lower.

On the other hand, none of the studies do an analysis of what it takes in terms of energy and water to actually build the dishwasher and replace it every 10 years or so. Nor does it take into account a Swedish study that found that children in families that wash dishes by hand are less likely to develop fever probably due to the “hygiene hypothesis”, which says the reason why kids fall ill is that their surroundings are actually too clean. If you’re not willing to fill up the sinks, the researchers point out that maybe the dishwasher is one labor-saving machine that does a better job than you can especially if you value your time. The researchers write, “When a user’s time spent washing dishes is valued, machine dishwashers pay for themselves within a year of use.”

A．Their effect on kids’ health.

B．Their effect on water and energy saving.

C．Their help in keeping the environment healthy.

D．Their help in improving kids’ health condition.

22、Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.

Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.

Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.

Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.

This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.

Perhaps we all live in each others’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.

That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.

【1】What happened when the author was about to take a photo?

A．Her camera stopped working.

B．A woman blocked her view.

C．Someone asked her to leave.

D．A friend approached from behind.

【2】According to the author, the woman was probably___________.

A．enjoying herself

B．losing her patience

C．waiting for the sunset

D．thinking about her past

【3】In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?

A．The rich color of the landscape.

B．The perfect positioning of the camera.

C．The woman’s existence in the photo.

D．The soft sunlight that summer day.

【4】The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand ____________.

A．the need to be close to nature

B．the importance of private space

C．the joy of the vacation in Italy

D．the shared passion for beauty

24、As you move out of your teens and into your 20s and 30s, your musical tastes start to solidify and you likely quit keeping up with popular music. Now, research has found the average age at which your music library is unlikely to change: 33.

The study's author reached this conclusion by analyzing data on U. S. Spotify users and comparing it to artist popularity data from music intelligence company The Echo Nest.

To determine the age at which we stop seeking out new tunes, the author gathered self-reported age data from Spotify and looked at users' " Taste Profiles," which tracks how many times listeners have streamed individual artists. These artists were then matched to their popularity rank on The Echo Nest.

The average teen listens almost only to music among the Billboard, the 200 highest-ranking albums in the country, but this music represents a smaller part of their streaming as they age. In their teens, they listen to a lot of the same music, over and over again. Frank T. McAndrew, a professor of psychology at Knox College, explains that's the "mere exposure effect" at work, and it basically means, the more we're exposed to something, the more we like it.

There are many reasons why a person may stop streaming the current top musical hits, and the author looked into one by identifying Spotify listeners with large amounts of children's music and nursery rhymes in their libraries. In other words, when users may have become parents.

But the study concludes with some good news for parents: “If you're getting older and can't find yourself staying as relevant as you used to, have no fear — just wait for your kids to become teenagers, and you'll get exposed to all the popular music of the day once again!”

【1】What happens after teens grow older?

A．They quit listening to music.

B．Their interest in music fades.

C．They change their music libraries.

D．Their musical tastes become stable.

【2】What is the way of the research?

A．Interviews.

B．Analyzing data.

C．Observation.

D．Tracking popularity.

【3】How do teens develop their musical tastes?

A．They listen to what they like repeatedly.

B．They act like their favorite popular stars.

C．They experience different styles of music.

D．They like high-ranking music worldwide.

【4】What's the good news for parents in the last paragraph?

A．Parents will regain their faith in music.

B．Parents will influence their teens in music.

C．Parents will hear their favorite music again.

D．Parents will enjoy the music for teens again.
