21、If you find yourself feeling a little less cheerful than you were when days are going from summer to autumn, it’s not your imagination: there is a science-backed reason you feel unhappy easily in the cooler months.

“It’s real,” said Kathryn Roecklein. “The changes don’t always affect everyone in the same way,” she added. “But seasonal mood changes often include less energy, feeling less social, losing interest in favorite activities and changes in sleep — you may have trouble sleeping or want to sleep more than usual.”

There are a lot of reasons why our moods change with the season, but a big factor (因素) is ______. “The hours of day, which are shortest in winter and longest in summer, are the main reason.” Roecklein said. Sunsets are getting earlier and earlier when autumn begins, so it’s not surprising if you feel those mood changes around the same time.

We should remember that “winter blues” is not something we cannot overcome (克服). Here are a few things you can do. First, get yourself bathed in the sun. A walk outside in the sun in the morning will surely make you feel better. Secondly, eat healthily. Try more fruit, vegetables and drink plenty of water. Besides, make time for your friends. A good chat with your best friends makes your day.

【1】What can we know from the second paragraph?

A．Changes in sleep mean you want to sleep more.

B．What activities lead you to seasonal mood changes.

C．Your favourite activities make you less social.

D．What problems you may have with seasonal mood changes.

【2】Which of the following is the most suitable word for the blank in Paragraph 3?

A．wind

B．light

C．time

D．food

【3】What does the underlined phrase “winter blues” mean in Paragraph 4?

A．Feeling sad in winter.

B．Loving blue thick clothes.

C．Painting houses blue in winter.

D．Listening to blues in winter.

【4】What is the writer’s advice to deal with “winter blue”?

a. walk in the sun b. take a bath often c. meeting their friends d. eat less vegetables e. drinking more water

A．a, b, c

B．b, c, d

C．a, c, d

D．a, c, e

22、China has the biggest population (人口) of all the countries in the world. Many of its people used to live in poverty (贫困). China set a goal of ending poverty by the end of 2020. And this goal has been reached so far. Over the past seven years, an average of 10 million people shook off (摆脱) poverty every year. Ordinary people helped make this possible.

Helping girls

Zhang Guimei, 64, has helped girls to go to college for more than 40 years. She is the principal of the Huaping Senior High School for Girls in Lijiang, Yunnan. It was the first free senior high school for girls in China.

Years ago, Zhang saw her students quit school after finishing senior high school because their families couldn’t pay their fees for university. So Zhang started the school in 2008 and got a lot of donations. She also encouraged girls to come back to school. Her hard work paid off. The school has sent more than 1,800 students to college.

Planting mushrooms (香菇)

Jingdong Yi autonomous county (自治县) in Yunnan is famous for its wild mushrooms. However, people there used to be poor. They didn’t know how to grow the mushrooms on their own to make money.

In 2013, Zhejiang University in Hangzhou came to help. They brought experts to teach people how to grow mushrooms. Chen Zaiming, an expert, did tests on different mushrooms and found small fragrant mushrooms would make money. So farmers then focused on growing them. Last year, 22 families in the county made more than 5 million yuan from this business.

Promoting culture

Huxingshan Yao town used to be one of the poorest places in Hunan. Almost every huayao woman can do tiaohua, or cross-stitching (十字绣), which was first created 1,000 years ago. It is a type of national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产) .

In 2012, a team from Hunan University came to help local people make more than 140 creative products based on Lunar New Year paintings and Huayao cross-stitch. In 2017, the products made more than 6 million yuan, the beautiful town has also attracted a lot of tourists. The team has also helped pass on the local culture. They set up a stitching studio for tiaohua and an exhibition for Huayao culture. An app was made to teach kids about their own culture.
