21、Listening to birds and water can lower stress and improve mood, study finds. Researchers have long known there are benefits from being in nature. Living around trees can help you live longer. Walking in the woods is good for your mood. Being near water can have positive effects on your well-being.

A new study finds that natural sounds offer health benefits too. There is plenty of evidence that spending time in natural areas is good for our health — but typically this research is done from a visual perspective, but we were curious what the role is of sounds we hear in these spaces.

Some examples they found reported in those studies included decreased pain, lowered stress, improved mood, and better cognitive（认知的）function. With these results in hand, they then listened to audio recordings from 251 sites in 68 national parks across the United States.

The sites with the most natural sounds and the lowest man-made sounds were located in Alaska, Hawaii, and the Pacific Northwest and were far from urban areas. Only three locations with high natural sounds and low noise pollution were within 100 kilometers（62 miles）of urban areas.

However, despite human-made noises being heard most of the time at sites in urban locations, birds were still heard about 60% of the time and geophysical sounds like wind and rain were heard about 19% of the time.

Not all natural sounds deliver the same benefits, the researchers found. For example, they discovered that the sounds of water had the largest impact on improving positive emotions and health outcomes, while bird sounds ease stress and annoyance. And the sounds of both birds and water were heard more than 23% of the time in the national park recording sites.

Interestingly, there was also some evidence that natural sounds have benefits over silence. There was also evidence that more different types of natural sounds — more types of birds singing rather than just one type of bird — have benefits over fewer sounds.

【1】What do we know about the ideal sites mentioned in Paragraph 4?

A．They are away from cities.

B．They have no noise pollution.

C．They have bird songs most of the time.

D．They are within 62 miles of urban areas.

【2】What sound helps reduce pressure most?

A．Sounds from water.

B．Rain beating.

C．Wind blowing.

D．Bird sounds.

【3】Which of the following brings more benefits to us?

A．The silence of nature.

B．The sounds of different birds.

C．The diversity of natural sounds.

D．Natural sounds fixed with noises.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．It Is Beneficial to Live Close to Water

B．We Are Surrounded by All Kinds of Sounds

C．The Sounds of Nature Affect Your Well-being

D．Man-made Noise Pollution Is Harmful to Our Health

22、How to Cram (仓促准备) for a Test without Going Crazy

Do you have a test coming up you should have been studying for weeks ago? Don’t worry. You’re not alone, and all hope is not lost. 【1】

You must start with the basics. No, we’re not talking about the material you’re learning; we’re talking about the environment you’re in. Do it in a space that isn’t crowded or messy. 【2】 If you’re worried about spending more time cleaning than studying, some of other favorite places to cram include coffee shops, bookstores, and parks.

We already stressed the importance of an environment, but we didn’t talk about what you are using in that environment. If you have your phone with you, we suggest turning it on silent and putting it away. 【3】 Close any outside communication applications and remove distractions from your study site to completely focus on the task at hand.

【4】 When studying, you shouldn’t push yourself past your limit. Our general rule of thumb is to give yourself a break at least once every hour. Each of your breaks should last for at least 10 minutes at a time to ensure you are refreshed and ready to get back into it.

There are few things in the world as stressful as cramming for a test. Luckily, there are methods and tips to ensure you can still come out on top of your next test or exam. 【5】 Grab a pencil and a notebook and start cramming!

A．So, what are you waiting for?

B．The same goes for your computer or laptop.

C．You’re cramming, so it doesn’t have to be neat.

D．Electronic products will help you find a rhythm for cramming.

E．In fact, there are a ton of effective methods to cram for a test the right way.

F．If you study in an unorganized place, you will lose focus and the motivation to succeed.

G．It may come as a shock to you, but you should set up a timer to remind yourself of a break.

23、Christmas 2020 was shaping up to be a heartbreaker for Melanie Lee. A few weeks earlier, her 33-year-old son had lost his battle with a long illness. Then her car stopped working. She had no means of paying for it to be fixed.

“When it broke down, so did I,” Lee said.“Now I don’t have my baby and now I don’t have transportation. How am I supposed to stay active in my grandchildren’s lives?”

Middleton, 38, the owner of a barbecue restaurant and former auto mechanic (修理工) who, in his free time, repairs and gives away used-cars. He’d heard about Lee’s situation from her nephew McClary, the mayor of Andrews, South Carolina. On Christmas morning, Middleton showed up unannounced at Lee’s home with a gift: a white 1993 Oldsmobile.

“I had no idea what was going on,” said Lee. “ He handed me the keys and didn’t ask for anything.”Once again, she’s able to pick up her granddaughters from school and take them to dance class.“I got my freedom back.”

The idea for the used-car giveaway came to Middleton a year earlier during a food drive he’d organized. Many of those who’d lined up for a meal walked up to four miles to get there because they didn’t have cars.

Cars are a lifeline in this part of South Carolina. There’s no public transportation and no taxis to get people around. So he offered to trade his restaurant’s specialty for broken- down vehicles. Since then, friends and strangers have dropped off more than 100 cars in various states of disrepair. Many sit in Middleton’s yard waiting to be repaired and donated, usually to those he’s heard about through word of mouth. It’s a list of names that grows daily.

“People think Middleton is a good and kind man,” Mayor McClary said. “And I do too.”

【1】Why was Christmas 2020 a heartbreaker for Melanie Lee?

A．She lost her battle with an illness.

B．She suffered misfortune twice.

C．She couldn’t pick up her granddaughters.

D．She had no money to fix her car.

【2】What can be learned about Middleton?

A．He deals in used-cars.

B．He offers food for free.

C．He has a heart of gold.

D．He knows Lee very well.

【3】How does Middleton get broken-down vehicles?

A．By exchanging food.

B．Through a food drive.

C．By appealing to friends.

D．Through word of mouth.

【4】What’s Mayor McClary’s attitude towards Middleton?

A．Critical.

B．Grateful.

C．Respectful.

D．Skeptical.

24、   If you need one more reason to be thankful, here it is. More and more researchers have found that gratitude could bring a lot of benefits to our body.

“Our clinical trials indicate that the practice of gratitude can have dramatic and lasting effects on a person’s health,” said Robert Emmons, a professor at UC Davis. “It can lower blood pressure, improve immune function and help fall asleep more efficiently.”

Emmons said there was even more evidence. People who keep a gratitude journal have a reduced fat intake—as much as 25 percent lower. Stress hormones like cortisol (皮质醇) are 23 percent lower in grateful people. And having a daily gratitude practice could actually reduce the effects of aging on the brain. “Being thankful has such a big effect because of the feelings at go along with it,” Emmons said. “Gratitude works because it restores other positive emotions that have direct physical benefits, most likely through the immune system.”

Research shows that when we think about what we appreciate, the calming part of the nervous system will be triggered. That can have protective effects on the body, including decreasing cortisol and perhaps increasing oxytocin, the bonding hormone involved in relationships that make us feel good.

Experts say gratitude is something you can learn. “Some people may not be grateful by nature but it is a habit you can get accustomed to,” said Dr. Norman Rosenthal, a doctor and the author of Winter Blues. Norman says all you have to do is think about being grateful. “Some people say they don’t have anything to be grateful for,” a researcher said. “If you teach such people to find one little thing to be grateful for and focus on that, you will find that the feeling of gratitude can transform the way they see their life over time.”

【1】What is the purpose of Emmons’ clinical trials?

A．To restore positive emotions.

B．To study the immune system.

C．To analyze the reason for gratitude.

D．To study gratitude’s influence on people.

【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

A．Being grateful helps fat intake.

B．Gratitude contributes to one’s physical health.

C．Gratitude can help fall asleep faster.

D．Being grateful can make a person successful.

【3】What does the underlined word “triggered” probably mean in Paragraph 4?

A．Activated.

B．Limited.

C．Checked.

D．Exposed.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．How we express gratitude.

B．How gratitude affects emotions.

C．Why we need to be grateful.

D．What we should be grateful for.
