21、The children in my class quietly worked on their projects. “Nah, nah, nah...” The noise got louder. I knew before I looked up which child was causing the trouble. Stephen had been displaying attention-seeking behavior since he joined our class after his family had moved to town. I’d had enough.

“Stephen, I can’t have these constant interruptions. Please go sit in the hall until you think you can be quiet in my classroom.” His hurt look made me regret my words. I knew how hard it was to start over in a new place. I should have been showing sympathy (同情), not punishing the child.

How can I encourage this unhappy little boy? An idea popped into my head. I put the plan into action the very next morning. When Stephen took his seat, I placed five nickels (硬币) in front of him. “The nickels are yours to keep—but each time you disturb the class, I’ll have to take one nickel back,” I said.

When Stephen acted out halfway through class, I dropped one of his nickels into my pocket. He lost three nickels that day The next day, only two. His behavior continued to improve. I could see he was adjusting to his new life, making friends and happier for it.

22、   When asked about her childhood in the documentary Alive Inside, a 90-year-old woman with dementia(痴呆) replies, “I’ve forgotten so much.” Filmmaker Michael Rossato-Bennett then plays music from her past for her. “That’s Louis Armstrong,” she says. “He’s singing When the Saints Go Marching In and it takes me back to my school days.” She then recalls exact details from her life.

Why does it happen? Music tends to accompany events that arouse emotions or otherwise make strong impressions on us --- such as weddings and graduations. These kinds of experiences form strong memories, and the music and memories likely become intertwined(紧密相连) in our neural(神经的) networks, according to Julene Johnson, a professor at the University of California. Movements, such as dancing, also often pair with our experience of music, which can help form memories. Even many years later, hearing the music can bring back memories of these long-past events.

As Alive Inside shows, music has this power even for many people with dementia. Researchers note that the brain areas that process and remember music are typically less damaged by dementia than other areas, and they think it may explain the phenomenon.

They also pay attention to elderly people with dementia, especially those in nursing homes. “It’s possible those long-term memories are still there,” Johnson says, “but people just have a harder time accessing them because they’re in a strange place and there are not a lot of circumstances in which someone could pull out those memories.”

Johnson also notes that music is not universally useful for all people with dementia since there are some people with dementia whose brain area that recognizes music is damaged.

Despite music’s apparent benefits, few studies have explored its influence on memory recall in people with dementia. “It’s really an untapped area,” Johnson says. Petr Janata is one researcher investigating the topic of music and memory. He says that scientists still do not have the answers for why and how music reawakens memories in people with dementia, but this phenomenon is real and it’s just a matter of time before it’s fully borne out by scientific research.

【1】What helps the old woman in Alive Inside recall her childhood?

A. A film she has watched before.

B. A song she has listened to before.

C. The voice of her childhood friend.

D. The description of her school days.

【2】What benefit of music is discussed in Paragraph 2?

A. It helps make lasting memories.

B. It helps cure patients of dementia.

C. It helps arouse emotions in special events.

D. It helps remember dance movements easily.

【3】According to Johnson, what should we do for elderly people with dementia?

A. Send them to nursing homes for good care.

B. Provide familiar environments for them.

C. Play lots of classical music to them.

D. Talk to them about their past.

【4】What do we know about the study into music and memory recall in people with dementia?

A. It is criticized by Petr Janata.

B. It is a ground-breaking study.

C. It is supported by solid evidence.

D. It applies to all people with dementia.

23、   Addiction to smartphones will result in poor sleep, according to a new study.

The study, published Tuesday in Frontiers in Psychiatry, looked at smartphone use among 1,043 students between the ages of 18 and 30 at King's College London. Researchers asked the students to complete two questionnaires on their sleep quality and smartphone use, in person and online.

Using a 10-question scale that was developed to judge smartphone addiction in children, nearly 40% of the university students qualified as "addicted" to smartphones, the study found. “Our findings are in agreement with other reported studies in young adult populations globally, which are in the range of 30-45%,” lead author Sei Yon Sohn and her co-authors wrote in the study. "Later time of use was also significantly connected with smartphone addiction, with use after 1 a.m. increasing a 3- times risk," the authors wrote.

Students who reported high use of smartphones also reported poor sleep quality, the study found. That foils in line with previous studies that have found overuse of smartphones at night to be associated with trouble falling asleep, reduced sleep duration (睡眠持续时间)and daytime tiredness. That's likely because use of smartphones close to bedtime has been shown to delay the body's normal sleep - and - wake clock.

In fact, the No. 1 rule is "no computers, cell phones, and ipads in bed and at least one hour before bed Dr. Vsevolod Polotsky, who directs sleep basic research, said in a recent interview. That's because "any LED light source from electronics (电子设备)may further hold back melatonin (褪黑激素)levels," Polotsky said. Melatonin is often referred to as a "sleep hormone," because we sleep better during the night when levels reach the top.

“This is a cross-sectional study, and it cannot lead to any firm conclusions about smartphone use as the cause of reduced sleep quality, said Bob Patton, a lecturer in clinical psychology at the University of Surrey, via email.

【1】How did Sei Yon Sohn's team begin their study?

A．By publishing researching papers.

B．By responding to others’ concern.

C．By collecting firsthand data.

D．By turning to related experts.

【2】What did the study find about sleep quality and smartphone use?

A．30-45% of the university students are addicted to smartphones.

B．High use of smartphones is related to poor sleep quality.

C．Overuse of smartphones leads to shorter sleep duration.

D．Use after 1 a.m. will result in smartphone addiction.

【3】What is Polotsky's opinion on electronics ?

A．We should stop using them an hour before going to sleep.

B．LED light source from them will delay normal sleep- and- wake clock.

C．Reduced sleep quality has nothing to do with them.

D．No electronics should be used in bed at any time.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Say No to Smartphones

B．Sleep Quality Can Be Improved

C．LED Light Source Causes Great Harm

D．Smartphone Addiction Ruins Sleep

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

“Owwww!” Robert yelled, backing away from me. “That hurt!”

“What do you mean? I just hit you with my jacket!” I said, laughing.

Robert was the smartest boy in my class, and I didn’t mean to hurt him. Besides, it was just a lightweight jacket.

The next thing I knew, Robert was heading to the nurse’s office. And I was being sent to the principal’s office.

What would my parents say? How could a stupid jacket hurt anybody? Then it suddenly occurred to me that my brand-new yo-yo(悠悠球) was in my pocket. So I had hurt Robert not with my jacket, but with my yo-yo. As I crossed the courtyard to the principal’s office, I prayed, “Please don’t let Robert be hurt too badly. And please don’t let Mr. Sinclair call my mom.” Then I reached the principal’s office.

“What happened, Julie?” Mr. Sinclair asked.

“We were playing outside... and... I hit Robert on the shoulder with my jacket. I... um... I guess I had this in my pocket.” I opened my palm to show him the shiny red yo-yo I’d bought with my pocket money. “I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt him.”

“I know you well enough to believe you. But Robert has a knot on his shoulder that’s about the size of your yo-yo. His mother is very upset. She’s taken him to the doctor.

My head hung so low. It nearly touched my knees. More than anything, I wanted to melt into a puddle and trickle away under the door.

“I’m sure you didn’t mean to hurt anyone,” Mr. Sinclair went on. “But because Robert was injured, I have to send you home for the rest of the day. Please wait in the outer office until your mother comes to pick you up.

My eyes widened. “Now I’m going to get it!” I thought. I had plenty of time to think while I waited for my mother. I was always trying to be the “perfect student”. “What will happen now?” I wondered. I had never been in trouble at school before.

Ten hopelessly long minutes later, my mother opened the door to the office.
