21、   How often do you sit still and do absolutely nothing? The usual answer these days is “never” or “hardly ever”. As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.

Stress is a natural part of everyday life. There is no way to avoid it, since it takes many and varied forms-driving in traffic, problems with personal relationships are all different forms of stress. Stress, in fact, is not the “baddy” it is often reputed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.

The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first sight of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make a choice between “fight” and “fright” and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life and death. The crisis we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. All the energy is shifted to cope with the stress. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress.

Stress in some people produces stomach disorders, while others experience tension headaches. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives, we need to find ways to cope with it.

【1】People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because they are ________.

A.often too busy to find the time B.working harder than they used to

D.If one gets into the habit of relaxing every day he can overcome stress easily.

【3】The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 suggests that stress ________.

A.is not always a bad thing for people B.is always harmful to people all the time

C.has a bad reputation of causing ill health D.never makes people feel bad

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Large amounts of stress is important to people’s life.

B.Different people can stand different amounts of stress.

C.All the stress can lead to poor performance.

【5】What is the writer’s attitude to stress according to the passage?

23、Not all waste has to go to waste. Most of the world’s 2.22 billion tons of annual trash ends up in landfills or open dumps. Veena Sahajwalla, a materials scientist and engineer at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, has created a solution to our massive trash problem: waste microfactories. These little trash processors— some as small as 500 square feet — house a series of machines that recycle waste and transform it into new materials with thermal technology. The new all-in-one approach could leave our current recycling processes in the dust.

Sahajwalla launched the world’s first waste microfactory targeting electronic waste, or e-waste, in 2018 in Sydney. A second one began recycling plastics in 2019. Now, her lab group is working with university and industry partners to commercialize their patented Microfactory technology. “The small scale of the machines will make it easier for them to one day operate on renewable energy, unlike most large manufacturing plants. The approach will also allow cities to recycle waste into new products on location, avoiding the long, often international, high-emission journeys between recycling processors and manufacturing plants. With a microfactory, gone are the days of needing separate facilities to collect and store materials, extract elements and produce new products,” says Sahajwalla.

Traditionally, recycling plants break down materials for reuse in similar products — like melting down plastic to make more plastic things. Sahajwalla’s invention evolves this idea by taking materials from an old product and creating something different. “The kids don’t look like the parents,” she says. For example, the microfactories can break down old smartphones and computer monitors and extract silica (from the glass) and carbon (from the plastic casing), and then combine them into silicon carbide nanowires. This generates a common ceramic material with many industrial uses. Sahajwalla refers to this process as “the fourth R” adding “re-form” to the common phrase “reduce, reuse, recycle”.

In 2019, just 17.4 percent of e-waste was recycled, so the ability to re-form offers a crucial new development in the challenge of recycling complex electronic devices. “We can do so much more with materials,” says Sahajwalla. “Traditional recycling has not worked for every recycling challenge.” She and her team are already working to install the next waste microfactory in the Australian town of Cootamundra by early 2021, with the goal of expanding around the country over the next few years.

【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To present the process of recycling waste.

B．To introduce a new type of trash processor.

C．To prove the seriousness of the trash problem.

D．To show the current situation of trash recycling.

【2】What are Sahajwalla’s words in paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．The scale of waste microfactories.

B．The founding of waste microfactories.

C．The influences of waste microfactories.

D．The advantages of waste microfactories.

【3】What does “re-form” refer to according to Sahajwalla?

A．Extracting materials from the waste.

B．Updating the whole recycling process.

C．Generating new materials with waste.

D．Transforming waste into similar products.

【4】Where is the text probably taken from?

A．A business report.

B．A science magazine.

C．A chemical textbook.

D．A fiction novel.

25、Bryan started snapping pictures of his son, Noah, from the moment he was born. When Noah was about three months old, Bryan noticed something _______.
