Do you dream of owning a house? It’s maybe not a big deal for many of us right now, 【1】 it is important for Esperanza, the main character of The House on Mango Street.

In the book, US 【2】 Sandra Cisneros wrote stories about things that happened to Esperanza on Mango Street. She 【3】 a hard life as a woman. She saw how 【4】 her friends were after marrying men, because they didn’t have any rights in society. She saw 【5】 people didn’t believe in each other.

22、   When I was a kid, I got interested in astronomy(天文学), I often watched northern lights in my hometown in Lapland. I used to wonder how big the universe might be and what are “behind” the stars. But as I grew up and finally went to college, I hardly had any time to develop my hobby because of too much homework. It was in 2009 that I rediscovered astronomy. I found an astronomy magazine in a library and immediately I got interested in astronomy again.

When I start reading astronomy books and magazines, I start finding out how many interesting things there are outside the planet. I realize that the information I am reading, hearing and watching opens a door to a huge world of interesting things.

However, I do not have much time for my hobbies. Many times I would like to observe an object in the night sky, but I am working or I have to look after my kids. So I share my hobbies with my kids. I encourage them to observe the stars together with me. I read kids’ astronomy books for them and tell them about the moon, stars, the sun and many other interesting things. We all find it interesting at the same time.

I enjoy astronomy as a hobby and I hope other parents like me can read books and magazines about it. Just imagine that you and your family sit together watching the stars and talking in the garden on a summer night! How cool it will be!

23、

We touch our faces all the time, and it had never seemed to be a big problem–until COVID-19 arrived. Touching our faces–the "T-zone" of our eyes, nose and mouth in particular–can mean giving ourselves the deadly virus.

This is why organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have suggested that we avoid touching our faces. "Just stop this simple behavior," William Sawyer, founder of Henry the Hand, a nonprofit organization that promotes hand hygiene (卫生), told The Washington Post. "It's the one behavior that would be better than any vaccine ever created."

Yet, stopping this "simple" behavior might be harder than you think because it's already into our system.

Some face touching is an automatic reflex (反射) – like when there is an itch on your nose, you'll scratch (挠) it without thinking. According to CNBC, a 2014 study found that touching your face also helps to reduce stress and regulate emotions. For example, you're more likely to do it when you feel awkward or embarrassed. According to Dacher Keltner, a psychologist at the University of California Berkeley, US, this action may also come with a social function: When you are talking to someone and want to change the subject, for example, touching your face is like "the curtains on a stage, closing up one act of the social drama, leading to the next," Keltner told the BBC.

Moreover, face-touching in almost all of these is subconscious, which means it's very hard to change "because you don't even know you're doing it", said Sawyer. But you're not alone. In a 2015 study, where a group of medical students were filmed in class, it was found that they touched their faces an average of 23 times an hour–with 44 percent of the touches being in the"T-zones". That was particularly surprising since medical students were supposed to know better.

Since it's so hard to shake the habit, maybe the easiest way is to wash our hands more often. This way, we can be sure that our hands are free from the novel coronavirus.

Tips for keeping your hands away

Tie up your hair so your face won't be tickled (使发痒) by stray strands (松散的发缕).

Keep your hands occupied, eg. with a stress ball.

Ask a friend to keep an eye on your hands.

【1】It's hard to stop touching faces because people ________.

A．don't take it seriously

B．do it without awareness

C．are born with the behavior

D．feel happier while doing it

【2】What does the underlined word "subconscious" mean?

A．Obvious.

B．Natural.

C．Strange.

D．Impolite.

【3】Which of the following is a social function of touching faces, according to the text?

A．Bringing a conversation to an end.

B．Making others feel relaxed while talking.

C．Showing an interest in the ongoing subject.

D．Using it as a sign to change the topic.

【4】What is the author's purpose in mentioning a 2015 study on a group of medical students?

A．To give tips on how to stop touching faces.

B．To prove that it is common for people to touch their faces.

C．To show how hygiene awareness helps people avoid touching their faces.

D．To show it is impossible to shake the habit of touching your face.

24、As a teenager, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; or they can be small—you may just want to become the best student in your class. Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Have you ever tried to make your dream come true?

Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making our dreams come true is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects or it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from achieving your dream. In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is made up of many small dreams.

You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dream. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important.

Without dreams, you won’t make up your mind to learn more skills and new interests.
