21、Some colors people see late at night could cause signs of clinical（临床的）depression (沮丧). That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings. They show that individuals (个人) who live or work in low levels of light overnight (整夜) can develop clinical depression. Doctors use the word “clinical depression” to describe severe form of depression. Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities, low energy levels and thoughts of death or suicide.

In the new study, American investigators designed an experiment that exposed hamsters（仓鼠）to different colors. The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal（夜行的）, which means they sleep during the day and are active at night.

The animals were separated into four groups. One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their night-time period. Another group was placed in front of a blue light, a third group slept in front of a white light, while a fourth was put in front of a red light.

After four weeks, the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank. They found that the most depressed animals drank the least amount of water.

Randy Nelson heads the Department of Neuroscience at Ohio State University. He says animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed. “What we saw is that these animals didn’t show any sleep uneasiness (不安) at all but they did mess up biological clock genes and they did show depressive sign while if they were in the dim（微弱）red light, they did not.”

Randy Nelson notes that photosensitive（感光）cells in the eyes have little to do with eyesight. He says these cells send signals to the area of the brain that controls what has been called the natural sleep-wake cycle.

He says there’s a lot of blue in white light. This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness.

【1】Researchers use hamsters in the experiment because __________.

A. they are similar to humans in dealing with colors

B. they are easy to observe and study

C. they are sensitive to colors like human beings

D. they are active at night and sleep during the day

【2】What sign shows that the hamsters are being depressed?

A. They drink less sugary water.   B. They don’t sleep well.

C. Their eyesight becomes worse.   D. Their energy level becomes low.

【3】What can help people who work late at night to avoid being depressed?

A. Not being exposed to dim red light when using computers.

B. Equipping their computer screens to put it more in the reddish light.

C. Living or working in low levels of light overnight.

D. Going to see doctors of clinical depression regularly for help.

22、The QR-code menu- which you access by scanning a black-and-white square with your smartphone-has taken off. It may dominate going forward.

For restaurants, QR-code menus offer potential benefits beyond putting germ-averse (厌恶细菌的) diners at greater ease. In the near future, rather than offer the same unchanging selections to every diner, restaurants might employ dynamic menus from which dishes disappear as the kitchen runs out.

For diners, however, QR-code menus are not really an advance. You may just be checking to see what you want your next drink to be, but from there it’s easy to start checking texts and emails. Even if everyone resists the temptation (诱惑) to check an incoming text message, merely having a phone out on the table makes a meal less fun for all involved. In the study “Smartphone Use Undermines Enjoyment of Face-to-Face Social Interactions”, the social-psychology researcher Ryan Dwyer and his colleagues randomly assigned some people to keep their phones out when dining with friends and others to put it away. “We found that groups assigned to use their phones enjoyed the experience less than groups that did not use their phones,” Dwyer said, “primarily due to the fact that participants with phones were more distracted.”

QR-code menus reduce privacy, too. Many of the codes “are actually generated by a different company that collects, uses, and then often shares your personal information,” the ACLU has warned.

“In fact, companies that provide QR codes to restaurants like to brag (吹嘘) all the personal information you are sharing along with that food order: your location, your demographics such as gender and age group, and other information about you and your behavior.”

The next few years may determine to what degree the restaurant of the future embraces the digital era or conserves the traditional focus on sociability and connection by deliberately avoiding it. There’s one thing for sure: their success is not appointed in advance.

【1】Which kind of menu may a restaurant offer in the near future?

A．A paper menu.

B．A clean menu.

C．A changeable menu.

D．A personalized menu.

【2】How does the QR-code menu affect diners’ dining experience?

A．It forces them to check texts.

B．It takes their attention away.

C．It offers a discount.

D．It recommends better drinks.

【3】What can be inferred from paragraph 4?

A．QR-code menus will be forbidden.

B．Restaurants tend to share diners’ location.

C．QR codes aim to collect diners’ personal information.

D．Scanning QR-code menus may put diners at risk.

【4】What does the author tend to tell us according to the text?

A．Problems brought by QR-code menus.

B．Restaurants’ difficulties in the digital era.

C．Diners’ concerns about privacy exposure.

D．Technology challenges of QR-code menus.

23、   When a child is told he is “uncool”, it can be very painful. He may say he doesn’t care, and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose. But these are simple ways to handle sadness by pretending it’s not there.

Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful. If you say, “Why are you worried about what other children think about you? It doesn’t matter!” Children know that it does matter. Instead, an active way may be best. You could say, “I’m going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school.”

If a boy is having trouble making friends, the teacher can help him. The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a child’s popularity in the group by showing that he values that child. It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child, or let him be a partner with that child in activities, etc.

There are things that parents can do at home, too. Be friendly when your child brings others home to play. Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider “super”. When you plan trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.

What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out. Then, if he has good qualities, he can start to build real friendship of his own.

【1】A child who has been informed of being “uncool” may ______.

A.care nothing about it B.do something uncool on purpose

C.develop a sense of anger D.pretend to get hurt very much

【2】A teacher can help an unpopular child by ______.

A.seeing the child as the teacher’s favorite

B.asking the child to do something for partners

C.forcing other children to make friends with the child

D.offering the child chances to show his good qualities

【3】Which of the following is TRUE?

A.Children don’t care others’ comments on them.

B.It’s only teachers’ work to make children popular.

C.Parents should take their children out for picnic and shows more often.

D.Inviting children’s friends to family activities is good for them to make friends.

【4】Which is the best title of the text?

A.How an Unpopular Child Can Be Helped

B.Why Some Children Are Unpopular

C.What Good Qualities Unpopular Children Have

D.Who Care About Unpopular Children

24、One of the most dangerous insects you need to watch out for during summer is mosquitoes. But no matter how you try to avoid them, some naturally attract mosquitoes more than others.

One of the most important facts to remember is that mosquitoes track people down by smell and body odour (气味), according to Bart Knols, PhD, a biologist devoted to the study of mosquitoes. The carbon dioxide people breathe out, along with chemicals from the skin, creates an “odour plume” that mosquitoes can detect from up to almost 100 feet away. “Each person gives off more than 300 chemicals from the skin, more than 100 in breathing out,” Knols says.

The specific mixtures on the skin that mosquitoes respond to vary by species. The yellow fever mosquito and Asian tiger mosquito, for example, respond well to lactic acid from skin. African malaria mosquitoes respond to a mix of fatty acids, according to Knols. Your individual mixtures and smells determine how much of a mosquito attraction you are, depending on the mosquito species. The mix of chemicals you produce is only partly in your control. These chemicals depend on your genetic make-up, health condition, diet, skin pH, and so on. “Bacteria on the skin break down the mixtures that we give off through our pores (毛孔), and these are the attractive smells,” Knols says. “So it is not actually we that draw mosquitoes, but the bacteria on our skin.”

Although this is a complex and partly understood phenomenon, Knols says that we do all have a unique smell. There are many folk stories about why some people are more or less attractive to mosquitoes. Some people falsely think the blood type is the cause? and others believe taking vitamin B or eating garlic makes people less attractive to mosquitoes—but Knols notes there’s no scientific data backing up these claims.

【1】What do we learn from the second paragraph?

A．Nobody can avoid mosquitoes anyway.

B．Mosquitoes can detect people by smell.

C．A person breathes out over 300 chemicals.

D．People find mosquitoes annoying and harmful.

【2】Why does the author take several kinds of mosquitoes for example?

A．To warn people not to touch mosquitoes.

B．To persuade readers to protect the environment.

C．To help people distinguish poisonous mosquitoes.

D．To show how different mosquitoes react to mixtures.

【3】What attracts mosquitoes according to Bart Knols?

A．Bacteria on the skin.

B．Specific blood type.

C．Smells from the hair.

D．Chemicals in the mouth.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Ways to make people more and more attractive

B．Folk stories about how mosquitoes attack people

C．The scientific reason you are a mosquito attraction

D．Different attitudes toward mosquitoes
