21、A recent study surveyed 5,000 British families about their experiences with volunteering and their mental health. Participants completed the same survey every two years from 1996 to 2008.

About 20 percent of the survey participants reported doing regular unpaid work Researchers found that these volunteers also scored highest on their mental health scores.The two were linked so directly that the more a person volunteered,the happier they were.

One could argue a chicken-and-egg theory: happier people are more likely to have the time,money,energy and resources to give back to others.But even when researchers adjusted for education,social class and total health,the link was there,suggesting that the mental increase came from volunteering and not the other way around.

According to Dr.Stephen G.Post,author of The Hidden Gifts of Helping,when you help others,your brain releases feel-good chemicals,which can help cells repair themselves and grow.And this translates to better health.

So volunteering can help improve both your physical and mental health—on one condition.You have to mean it. People who volunteered for "self-oriental" reasons,either because they were forced to do so for work or school or because they were trying to get away from problems in their lives,had a mortality（死亡率）risk that was similar to those who didn't volunteer at all.It was only when people were volunteering out of a true sense of sympathy that they saw any health benefits.

So whether it's arranging books at the library or walking dogs at the animal shelter,find a cause that's important to you and give it a try.Volunteering is a good way to develop a sense of connection that not only helps your community,but may also be good for you.

【1】Who are healthier according to the study?

A. people who are happier.

B. people who are good at taking exams.

C. people that work as volunteers regularly.

D. people that make a large amount of money.

【2】Why does the author mention the chick-and-egg theory?

A. To introduce a world-famous theory.

B. To point out that volunteering came first.

C. To prove happy ones would like to help others.

D. To tell us that the cause and the effect are mixed.

【3】What may be one of the "self-oriented" reasons?

A. You try your best to solve others' problems.

B. You are filled with pity for the foster kids.

C. You have the duty to look after the old.

D. You're always willing to help others.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A. A chicken-and-egg theory.

B. Happiness has a lot to do with health.

C. A sense of connection is important to us.

D. Volunteering willingly is good for health.

22、Tabichi’s father, uncle, and cousins have all worked as teachers. He could see that his relatives were making a real difference to people’s lives and wanted to do the same. So for the past 12 years, Tabichi has worked as a math and science teacher in the hope that his lessons will give students a chance to improve their situations.

However, working at a remote village school in Kenya hasn’t been easy. The unique challenges and obstacles have forced Tabichi to find unique solutions for his students. The school only has one computer and unreliable Internet access. The school also has no library or laboratory. To make matters worse, there are not enough books for all the students and the school is desperately in need of more teachers. Most of the students are not able to concentrate, because they haven’t had enough meals at home.

One of the other major challenges that Tabichi faces is keeping kids in school as long as possible. So Tabichi spends most of his time outside of the classroom working on ways to keep kids in school. When the 36-year-old gets the feeling that a student is at risk of dropping out, he works to persuade families to put more value in education. To help those in poverty afford food, uniforms, and books, Tabichi also gives away 80 percent of his salary. Despite all the obstacles he faces, Tabichi is credited for improving the school and keeping much of the village’s youth in school. He has also managed to set up science clubs and addressed food insecurity issues.

Thanks to his tireless work, his students have excelled. In recent years, students have won national and international science competitions. In March of 2019, Tabichi was voted the best teacher in the world and won the prize of $1 million.

【1】What inspired Tabichi to be a teacher?

A．The life of a remote village in Kenya.

B．The difficulties Tabichi’s school faced.

C．Tabichi’s unique teaching ways for his students.

D．Most of the students’ distraction on their learning.

【3】What occupied Tabichi’s most time?

A．Giving students the best lessons.

B．Helping students get rid of poverty.

C．Getting students away from any risk.

D．Persuading students not to drop out.

23、   That warm day was the only day of the week without rain.I opened the door,took a seat and began to enjoy the wonderful sunshine.Suddenly,I noticed that the house near mine had been sold.An elderly lady was in front of the door,with some beautiful flowers beside her.I walked to her.She looked to be in her early eighties and had the prettiest white hair.

24、On October 27, 2021, my friend and I boarded the first flight of our journey from Vancouver Island, to Peru, South America.

Twenty-four hours and four airports later we landed in Cusco, Peru, a city of one million people. Coming from Vancouver Island with only 100 feet above sea level, we knew that we were now at a much higher altitude (海拔) - over 11,000 feet- and needed time to get used to the scarcer oxygen (缺氧) levels! We followed the advice of other travelers and the locals: drink lots of coca leaf tea and rest for a couple of hours before any activity.

We were soon hiking through the ruins and surrounding ancient castles of Cusco. Leaving Cusco the next day, we stopped at the Moray Ruins, which were used for farming by the Incas. Their size and unique design should be considered a lesson in historical engineering skills. This Inca site is one of the least known tourist destinations, but it’s one of the most interesting places to visit.

Arriving in the beautiful Sacred Valley, we stayed at Willka T’ika for the next week. This place is wonderful. We enjoyed delicious vegetarian meals, all made with local produce by loving Quechua people.

You can’t go to Peru without visiting historic Machu Picchu. The “road” up to the ruins is made up of an endless series of switchbacks (急转弯), resulting in cold sweats. It was worth the ride, though.

It was too soon before we were leaving Peru. We learned the unique history of Inca, Quechua culture, and the farming methods still widely practiced. The best thing we took away returning home to Vancouver Island was how simple and caring the people are and how deeply they love the earth and everyone they meet.

【1】Why did the author drink lots of coca leaf tea?

A．To have a good rest.

B．To follow the local culture.

C．To feel better at a greater height.

D．To avoid getting thirsty on the way.

【2】What does the author think of the Moray Ruins?

A．They’re no longer used for farming.

B．They’re known to most travel lovers.

C．They’re not as interesting as expected.

D．They’re an example of creative engineering.

【3】Which can best describe the author’s trip to Machu Picchu?

A．Dangerous and tiring.

B．Risky but worthwhile.

C．Enjoyable and interesting.

D．Comfortable and wonderful.

【4】How does the author’s trip to Peru influence him?

A．It encourages him to be more caring.

B．It helps him understand his own culture.

C．It teaches him to accept all the differences.

D．It allows him to experience modern farming.

25、As a businesswoman, I care deeply about my customers. But like anyone for whom you feel affection, _______ can also drive you mad. They’ll come rushing in, _______ their handbag’s been stolen.

They’ll have out half the _______ in the shop, and want the only style you don’t have left in a _______ colour. I do know how upset the shop staff can get, but I try to persuade them to keep _______ .

I remember the first really _______ customer we had at Covent Garden. She was _______ absolutely everything, nothing was right and I was rather ________ that she became a “regular”.

She had split up with her husband the week before, was living in a flat ________, and since she’d found it too much to cope with (应 对) , she’d taken it out on ________ people.

That taught me a valuable ________ and I pass it on to the people who work in the market. Don’t take it personally. If a customer is rude or difficult, just think “Maybe she’s had a row with her husband. Maybe her child’s not well.” Always water it down and don’t let your ego (自我) get ________ .
