21、It happens from time to time that after a whole morning of studying, you are tired in the afternoon. It’s then that you might want to eat something sweet, perhaps a Coke or a chocolate bar to lift your mood. After all, it’s popularly believed that a “sugar rush” gives us energy.

But a study published in Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews in April suggests that sugar can make us feel worse rather than boost our moods.

The German and UK researchers collected data from 31 studies involving nearly 1, 300 adults. They studied the effect of sugar on various aspects of mood, including anger, alertness, depression and tiredness.

They found that people who have too much sugar become more tired and less alert within an hour, and that these feelings become more intense over time. According to the researchers, when people take in sugar, their blood sugar levels rise rapidly, leading to a burst of energy and a short “feel good” period. However, as they begin to digest the sugar, their blood sugar levels decrease quickly, leading to a bad feeling.

To remain on a “high”, people are likely to eat more and more sugar until they become addicted to it. As with caffeine, this prevents the body from relaxing, leaving people feeling tired and less alert.

But the study findings needn’t make us think we must give up sweet food altogether. According to the World Health Organization, it is healthy to have the sugars found naturally in fruit, vegetables and milk, so long as these make up less than 5 percent of daily total energy intake.

So the next time you feel tired and can’t concentrate, perhaps you should think twice before you bite into a chocolate bar. Maybe a spot of exercise at midday would be a better idea!

【1】What is commonly believed about sugar?

A．Sugar makes us energetic.

B．Sugar can make us less alert.

C．Sugar can make us feel worse.

D．Sugar can make us feel more tired.

【2】Why do people feel more tired after having too much sugar?

A．Because their blood sugar level decreases when the sugar begins to be digested.

B．Because their blood sugar level rise rapidly when people take in sugar.

C．Because there is a burst of energy and a short “feel good” period.

D．Because caffeine prevents the body from relaxing.

【3】What does the World Health Organization suggest?

A．We must give up sweet food altogether.

B．It is good to have a proper amount of natural sugar.

C．It is healthy to have sugars in fruit, vegetables and milk.

D．It is a good idea to bite into a chocolate bar when you feel tired.

【4】What is the main idea of this passage?

A．Eating something sweet gives us energy.

B．We must stop eating sweet food.

C．More sugar helps people remain on a “high” .

D．Sugar can make people less energetic.

22、You have everything you think you need for your dream job, but could something else be holding you back? You possess hard skills for the job, but you may lack soft skills.

Hard skills are things that are measurable and technical. A master’s degree in business is a hard skill. The ability to speak Spanish is a hard skill. Many specific qualifications for a job are hard skills, such as years of work experience or proficiency (精通) with particular computer programs.

On the other hand, soft skills are harder to define. And they can’t be defined. And they can’t be measured. Soft skills covers a wide range of characteristics that you can work on for a lifetime but some of the most common — and most necessary for success — include being a good listener and speaker, a wise leader, a problem solver, a strong communicator or a team player. It’s also helpful if you can accept feedback, settle conflicts with others, deal with difficult people or be flexible. These soft skills are what many employers desire.

Soft skills benefit you in many ways. Being a good listener, for example, is very helpful if you’re a doctor. Being flexible, a team player and a problem solver help you succeed when dealing with deadlines.

Soft skills are something extra that help a particular person to success. Being able to show you possess them could make a difference in landing a job you’ll love, or being more successful in the job you already have. They make the difference between someone who is just OK at their Job and someone who is outstanding, the person you always want on your team. In general, soft skills make you more likable and more competent.

Soft skills are what can set people apart from each other on resumes or in job interviews, but soft skills don’t come naturally.

24、Twelve years ago, Danny called me from a dark, damp subway station. “A baby!” he shouted. “Get down here, and flag down a police car or something.” By nature, Danny is a very calm person, so when I could almost feel his heartbeat through the phone line, I ran.

When I got to the subway station, Danny was holding a light-brown-skinned baby, about a day old. The baby had been wrapped (被包裹) in an oversize black sweatshirt and left on the ground in a corner behind the gate.

What neither of us knew, or could have assumed, was that Danny had not just saved an abandoned infant; he had found our son.

Three months later, Danny appeared in family court to tell the story of finding the baby. Suddenly, the judge asked, “Would you be interested in adopting this baby?” The question surprised everyone in the courtroom, except Danny, who answered, simply, “Yes.”

“But I know it’s not that easy,” he said.

“Well, it can be,” said the judge before giving orders to allow me to be a parent-to-be.

My first reaction, when I heard, went something like, “Are you crazy? How could you say yes without asking me?

In three years as a couple, we had never discussed adopting a child: I was an devoted playwright (剧作家) working as a part-time word clerk. Danny was a respected yet wildly under-paid social worker. We had a roommate, who slept in our living room, to help pay the rent.

We knew how many challenges couples usually faced when they want to have a baby. And while Danny had patience and selflessness, I didn’t know how to change a diaper (尿布), let alone nurse a child. I didn’t trust the social system and was sure there would be difficulties. Also, I couldn’t handle parenthood. So I promised myself I wouldn’t devote to it.

The caretaker held the baby and then placed him in my arms. But when the baby stared up at me, with all the innocence and hope he showed to me, I, like Danny, completely fell for him.

【1】Why did Danny call the author?

A．Because he found their lost son.

B．Because he found a deserted baby and needed some help.

C．Because he had a heart trouble.

D．Because someone gave birth to a baby there.

【2】What’s the reaction of the author after hearing Danny’s answer to the judge’s question?

A．Very excited.

B．A little angry.

C．Worried.

D．Disappointed.

【3】Eventually, what would the couple do according to the last paragraph?

A．They would send the baby to somebody.

B．They would adopt the baby.

C．They would leave the baby at the court.

D．They would bring up the baby together with the judge.

【4】According to the passage, what conclusion can we draw on the couple?

A．Outgoing and friendly.

B．Hardworking and serious.

C．Kind and caring.

D．Cold and indifferent.

25、It’s late in the evening: time to close the book and turn off the computer. You’re done for the day. What you may not realize, _______, is that the learning process actually continues - in your dreams.

It might sound like science fiction, but researchers are increasingly _______ the relationship between the knowledge and skills our brains absorb during the day and the fragmented, often bizarre imaginings they _______ at night. Scientists have found that dreaming about a task we’ve learned is associated with _______ performance in that activity (suggesting that there’s some truth to the popular notion that we’re “getting” a foreign language once we begin dreaming in it). What’s more, researchers are coming to recognize that dreaming is an essential part of understanding, organizing and _______ what we learn. While we sleep, research indicates, the brain replays the patterns of activity it experienced during _______ hours, allowing us to enter what one psychologist calls a neural virtual reality. A vivid example of such _______ can be seen in a video researchers made recently about sleep disorders. They taught a series of dance moves to a group of patients with conditions like sleepwalking, in which the sleeper performs the kind of physical movement that does not _______ occur during sleep. They then videotaped the _______ as they slept. Lying in bed, eyes closed, one female patient on the tape __________ the dance moves she learned earlier.

This shows that while our bodies are __________, our brains are drawing what’s important from the information and events we’ve recently encountered, then integrating that data into the vast __________ of what we already know.

In a 2010 study, researchers at Harvard Medical School reported that college students who dreamed about a computer maze(迷宫)task they had learned showed a 10-fold improvement in their __________ to find their way through the maze compared with the participants who did not dream about the task.

Robert Stick-gold, one of the Harvard researchers, suggests that studying right before bedtime or taking a nap following a study session in the afternoon might increase the __________ of dreaming about the material. Think about that as your head __________ the pillow tonight.
