21、Kids’ health: Four steps for fighting stress
Everybody gets stressed time to time. 【1】 Some ways of dealing with stress —like screaming or hitting someone — don’t solve much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.
Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:
Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to trusted adult such as “parent or other relatives.” 【2】 They might have bad similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.
Don’t take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that’s not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Don’t take it out on yourself. 【3】
Try to solve the problem. After you’re calm and you have support from adults and friends, it’s time to get down to business. 【4】 Even if you can’t solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.
Be positive. Most stress is temporary (暂时的). Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it. These steps aren’t magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you’ll help yourself feel better even faster. 【5】
A.Then, find a way to calm down.
B.And don’t forget about your friends.
C.You need to figure out what the problem is.
D.Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.
E.Different people feel stress in different ways.
F.Notice your friends’ feelings and find a way to help them.
G.Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.
22、Recently, there is a view on the Internet that “the rise of pig price will lead to the rise of other food prices, thus leading to a substantial rise in overall prices”. It should be said that this judgment is not scientific. We should objectively understand the position of pork price in the overall price and its possible linkage effect.
At present, the main problem faced by the pork price is the lack of pork production capacity, which has nothing to do with inflation and will not lead to inflation. The rise of pork price only affects the upstream and downstream of pig industry and other related products such as meat, but has limited impact on the overall price. At present, China's agricultural product supply is sufficient; the production capacity of consumer goods is constantly improving; the service supply is more diversified, and the monetary policy remains stable, which provides a solid foundation for the stable operation of prices.
Keeping prices, especially the prices of important people's livelihood commodities, basically stable is related to the basic life of the people. In the face of rising pork prices, the state's policy of ensuring supply and stabilizing prices continues to increase. From choosing the right opportunity to put frozen meat reserve to starting the price subsidy mechanism, from rectifying the improper restriction and prohibition measures to protecting the land for pig farms, from special financial support to financial insurance escort, all departments are taking measures. With the gradual effectiveness of the measures, the price of pork will be stable in the future. It is worth noting that the data of the Ministry of Commerce on September 10th shows that the increase of pork wholesale price has fallen back from the previous week (from September 2nd to 8th).
【1】From the first paragraph of the article, what’s the correct point of view we can get?
A.The rise of pig price will lead to the rise of other food prices, which will lead to the sharp rise of overall prices.
B.The rise of pig price will lead to the decrease of other food prices, which will lead to the sharp decline of overall price.
C.People should objectively understand the position of pork price in the overall price and its possible linkage effect.
D.It is not important to understand the position of pork price in the overall price and the linkage effect it can produce.
【2】According to the second paragraph, we can know why the price of pork is rising?
A.The reason for the rise of pork price is related to inflation.
B.The reason for the rise of pork price is related to the death of pigs.
C.The reason for the rise of pork price is related to market demand.
D.The reason for the rise of pork price is related to the lack of pork production capacity.
【3】According to the third paragraph of the article, what will be the price of pork in the future?
A.The price of pork will keep rising.
B.The price of pork will probably be stable.
C.The price of pork will not be stable.
D.The price of pork will never be stable.
【4】The most suitable title for this article is _______.
A.The Price of Pork Is Rising.
B.What will People Do in the Face of Rising Pork Prices?
C.The Impact of Rising Pork Prices.
D.The Impact of Rising Pork Prices on People.

24、Mark felt that it was time for him to take part in his community activities, so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work. The city councilman(议员) was leading a discussion about the decreasing life quality. The neighborhood faced many problems.
Mark looked at the charts taped to the walls. There are charts for crime, parking problems, and for problems in vacant(空置的)buildings. People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilman.

As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly darted into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted and groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boy’s arm and led him back to his mother. Then he picked up the groceries while the woman smiled in relief. “Thanks!” she said. “You have got great timing!”
