21、We know that hugs make us feel cosy inside. And this feeling could actually ward off stress and protect the  immune (免疫) system,  according to a new research from Carnegie Mellon University.

It’s a well-known fact that stress can weaken the immune system. In this study, the researchers sought to determine whether hugs could protect individuals from the increased sensitivity to illness brought on by the particular stress that comes with interpersonal conflict.

“We know that people experiencing ongoing conflicts with others are less able to fight off cold viruses. We also know that people who report having social support are partly protected from the effects of stress on psychological states, such as depression and anxiety, ” the study’s lead author, psychologist Dr. Sheldon Cohen , said in a statement. “We have tested whether awareness of social support is equally effective in protecting us from sensitivity to infection caused by stress and also whether receiving hugs might partially account for those feelings of support and thus protect a person against infection.”

In the experiment, over 400 healthy adults filled out a questionnaire about their perceived (感知到的) social support and also participated in a nightly phone interview for two weeks. They were asked about the frequency that they engaged in interpersonal conflict and received hugs that day.

Then, the researchers exposed the participants to a common cold virus, and monitored them to assess signs of infection. They found that both perceived social support and more frequent hugs reduced the risk of infection associated with experiencing interpersonal conflict. Regardless of whether or not they experienced social conflicts, infected participants with greater perceived social support and more frequent hugs had less severe illness symptoms.

“This suggests that being hugged by a trusted person may act as an effective means of conveying support and that increasing the frequency of hugs might be an effective means of reducing the effects of stress,” Cohen said. “The apparent protective effect of hugs may result from the physical contact itself or hugging being a behavioral indicator of support and closeness. Either way, those who receive more hugs are somewhat more protected from infection.”

If you need any more reason to wrap your arms around someone special, consider this: hugs also lower blood pressure, reduce fears, improve heart health and decrease feelings of loneliness.

【1】Which of the following can replace the underlined words “ward off” in Paragraph 1?

A. produce B. increase C. prevent   D. support

【2】What does Dr. Sheldon Cohen’s experiment show?

A. Hugs can hide serious illness symptoms

B. Social conflicts can monitor sign s of infection

C. Social support can reduce the risk of having a cold

D. Depression and anxiety result from less social support

【3】What does the passage aim to convey?

A. Hugs can have protective effects

B. Social support can cure diseases

C. Interpersonal conflicts cause infections

D. Stress can weaken our immune system

【4】Where is the passage most likely to be found?

A. A social science magazine

B. A commercial brochure

C. A medical report

22、Most nights I lie in bed, ready for an escape from myself, yet a streaming video of everything I ate, how I exercised, the activities of the day won’t stop playing in my mind.

I pause. I breathe. I try to relax once again, but it doesn’t work.

When I’m not exercising — even if I’ve already exercised that day — I’m consumed with anxiety about my next workout. Will something come up and make me miss the gym? What about holidays when the gym is closed?

Exercise has become a disease; it even disguises (伪装，假装) itself as the cure. If I don’t have it as an escape, then what’s left to hold me together? Working out feels like the only way to calm myself, but as soon as I leave the gym or finish a walk, the whole cycle starts over again.

As you might have guessed by now, I suffer from depression and OCD (强迫症). I’m a highly-educated adult woman who knows the risks of this behavior, and yet I can’t stop.

As a society, we’re told over and over that it’s important to exercise. That’s what makes it so easy to keep this addiction a secret; it’s not as obvious as lighting up a cigarette. You can continue to feed your addiction under the guise that you’re just being “healthy”. I not only have to fight the nonstop thoughts in my head but also the “more exercise is better” messages I receive from the media every day.

For me, exercise has become a drug, which is a way to numb the pain I might feel. I wonder what it would be like to “have the problem” of not wanting to go to the gym. It still feels very far away.

Yet I know I can be stronger than this. I can break the cycle I’m in. I can tell my story so as to give up a piece of the secrecy that keeps me sick.

Because no, you don’t want my problem. And finally, neither do I.

23、Ever wondered why your hotel pool seems overly small compared to its website picture? A new graph reveals just how far companies will go to make their products seem more appealing, from replacing actual ice cream with mashed potato for a more solid appearance, to using motor oil for honey. One of the most common examples is that of advertised images of hamburgers, which show items between the bun to be larger and brighter than they really are, leading consumers to think the food is fresher than it really is.

Frozen food packages are repeat offenders which show the meals perfectly plated with fresh ingredients. Where an image includes ingredients not included in the purchase, a “serving suggestion” disclaimer is a legal requirement. However, if a customer fails to notice the tiny caption, they often incorrectly assume that all illustrated items are included.

Deception in advertising is not just limited to food products. Hotels and resorts often alter images or use deceptive angles to manipulate the building’s real surroundings. For example, one hotel advertisement used a cleverly positioned low angle to feature what appears to be an endless pool. In truth, the pool is simply round in shape.

Children are also often cheated by commercials. When they finally receive that toy or outdoor paddling pool, they find that the product is far smaller than advertised. With nearly half of American consumers believing advertising to be “fairly honest”, it seems they will continue to be tricked into buying disappointing products.

【1】The writer writes the first paragraph in order to ____.

A．inform an issue

B．introduce the topic

C．catch readers’ attention

D．deliver some phenomena

【2】According to the text, which of the following issues might consumers have with food products?

A．The food is not healthy enough.

B．It is difficult to know how to serve a frozen meal.

C．Some items shown on the box disappear.

D．The burger bun is smaller than they were expecting.

【3】According to the article, almost 50% of American buyers ____.

A．do not trust advertising companies

B．believe that advertising is not honest enough

C．think that the products are disappointing

D．will continue being deceived by false advertising

【4】The overall purpose of the text is to ____.

A．persuade people to boycott advertising

B．praise advertising companies for their creativity

C．raise public awareness regarding unreliable advertising

D．promote the use of advertisements and marketing material

While in Sant’Angelo in Vado, the winners will visit La Tavola Marche, a unique hands-on cooking experience where guests can immerse themselves in Italian culture and food.

26、读写任务

How many times have you heard the expression that most people spend more time planning their vacation than they do planning their lives. I would expand that expression by adding that most people spend more time "thinking" about their vacation than they do thinking about what's important in their life.

While rest and relaxation are a must in living a balanced life, it's now what we were created to do. After all, the Master Creator took his R&R (Rest and Recreation) on the seventh day, only after six days of "definitely directed thought."

Wallace D. Wattles, wrote "There is no labor from which most people shrink as they do from that of sustained and continuous thought; it is the hardest work in the world." And yet it is the first and primary labor of achievement.

What is your life's purpose or your personal mission statement? Is it written down? Do you review it and think about it often? Is your life organized around your purpose and a set of goals that support that purpose?

Without purpose and goals --- definitely directed thought --- you are like the proverbial "shop without a rudder(舵)." There is power in your purpose and in your goals. It is the power that takes you over obstacles, the fuel that pushes you toward the life you expect.
