21、Nothing energizes office workers more than complaining about meetings. And it seems some of the world's greatest tech successes agree. Here's some of their advice.

Mark Zuckerberg: A decision or a discussion?

The Facebook CEO reportedly improved the effectiveness of meetings by asking managers to explain the point of a meeting: to make a decision or to have a discussion.

"If there's no point, then there are no decisions," Microsoft founder Bill Gates might agree. He is supposed to have said, "You have a meeting to make a decision, not to decide on the question."

Elon Musk: It is not rude to leave.

Elon Musk once sent out an email to staff in which he made some "recommendations".

"Walk out of a meeting or drop off a call as soon as it is obvious you aren't adding value," he went on. "It is not rude to leave; it is rude to make someone stay and waste their time."

Jeff Bezos: The "two--pizza rule".

The Amazon founder meets investors for just six hours a year, and tries to avoid early morning meetings.

Business Insider reports that Mr. Bezos also has a strict policy: Never have a meeting in which you couldn't feed the whole group with two pizzas. The businessman believes small groups are far more efficient than large ones, and the "two-pizza rule" helps him prevent large meetings.

Steve Jobs: No need for PowerPoint.

Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs shows the creative genius behind the iPhone making an attack on slideshow users. "People who know what they are talking about don't need PowerPoint," he said.

"Generally PowerPoint presentations are a great distraction(使人分心的事物), unless it's data or a graph," said Professor Andre Spicer. "Long slides mean no information being conveyed."

【1】What did Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates both stress?

A．How to have a meeting.

B．When to have a meeting.

C．The purpose of having a meeting.

D．The importance of having a meeting.

【2】Why was the "two-pizza rule" put forward?

A．To offer better services for a meeting.

B．To reduce the cost of a meeting.

C．To encourage short meetings.

D．To limit the size of a meeting.

【3】From the underlined part in the last paragraph, Andre Spicer's opinion on slides is             .

A．less is more

B．the more the merrier

C．something is better than nothing

D．a picture is worth a thousand words

22、A new study finds that experimenting with skipping one meal each day enables your cells to recharge and use all the available fuel, which ensures insulin (胰岛素) function remains at its peak the next morning.

The research found that body weight, measured by body mass index (BMI 体重指数), corresponds with when we eat and how often we eat. Specifically, people who eat larger breakfasts and adopt an 18-hour overnight fast (禁食), say from 1 pm to 7 am, have the lowest body weights. Those who ate more than three meals, or three meals plus snacks, had higher BMIs. Those who ate later in the day, after 6 pm, compared to those having the largest meal at breakfast or lunch, had higher body weights.

The Loma Linda University researchers assume that 18-hour overnight dietary fasts reboot our metabolisms to help our bodies burn calories efficiently. Lead author Dr Hana Kahleova, director of clinical research at the nonprofit Physicians Committee, says this process ensures that our energy intake is related to energy output, instead of energy reserves. Contrary to popular belief, these extended overnight fasts seem to help boost metabolic function. Kahleova also finds

meals consumed in the evening, compared to those eaten in the morning, result in raised blood sugar. Like a clog (障碍) in a machine, extra glucose (葡萄糖) slows our bodies’ metabolic process down.

What does this mean to you? Let’s say you consume 1,500 to 1,800 calories a day. Instead of splitting 500 to 600 calories evenly at each meal, you could experiment with eating 600 to 700 calories for breakfast, 600 to 700 calories for lunch and 300 to 400 calorie for a light dinner. A more moderate application of this research may be to have big brunches or breakfasts instead of holiday dinners and evening birthday parties to support long-term weight maintenance.

【1】What makes for the lowest BMIs according to the research?

A．Eating three meals evenly on a regular basis.

B．Having a larger portion of breakfast plus snacks.

C．Starting an 18-hour overnight fast after a big breakfast.

D．Skipping breakfast and eating more at lunch and dinner.

【2】What will Dr Hana Kahleova probably agree?

A．Overnight fasts boost metabolism to lose weight efficiently.

B．The finding of the study is consistent with the common belief.

C．The process breaks the balance of energy intake and energy output.

D．Breakfast is more likely to increase blood sugar compared to dinner.

【3】What can we learn from the research?

A．We should adopt the fasting approach to the maximum.

B．We can continue holiday dinners and evening birthday parties.

C．It’s worse to eat low-calorie meals and work out in the morning.

D．It’s better to rearrange meals and consume more calories in the morning.

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．The Way Human Energy Systems Operate

B．Can Skipping Dinner Help You Lose Weight?

C．Can Fasts Slow Down Your Bodies’ Metabolic Process?

D．The importance Of Maintaining A Healthy Body Weight

23、When pro-golfer Umi Jai first started competing against men, she felt frightened. They didn't want to play with her, she says and they didn’t take her seriously. But then in her first match she won.

After that she had all the confidence she needed to keep playing and beating the boys. Now as the only professional female golfer in Senegal, she competes almost exclusively against men.

“Now I'm used to playing with men. I train in the morning, noon and night. I'm in the gym three or four times per week. So that also gives me more confidence.” She said. Jai turned professional seven years ago.

She’s placed in dozens of competitions around the world including in Thailand, Kenya and South Africa. Her accomplishments are particularly noteworthy considering Senegal is a conservative Muslim nation, where women are discouraged from participating in sports especially at the professional level. “When you're Muslim, we prefer to keep girls at home to find them a husband and make them a housewife.” She told journalist.

In 2020 the Senegalese Golf Federation agreed to help Jai establish a golf academy, in preparation for the 2026 summer youth Olympics in Dakar. It would be the first Olympic games to ever be held on African soil. The project was postponed due to Covid, but it's expected to restart this year.

Jai will be tasked with training Senegal’s first ever national team, with a specific focus on preparing the next generation of female golfers including her daughter.

“Girls will be part of it I mean on an equal basis like boys, and that would be something that I think we are prepared and committed to do. And Jai also has that vision and committed to promote a girl to give them opportunity, as a girl I mean, to help them get to the level that they can be.” Said the executive director of Senegalese Golf Federation.

Jai says she hopes to find a sponsor so she can continue to compete internationally, and bring the next generation of Senegalese female golfers into the fold.

【1】What can we know from the first two paragraphs?

A．Umi Jai enjoyed competing against men initially.

B．Umi Jai failed in her first match when competing against men.

C．The men who played with Umi Jai had no intention to play with her.

D．The men in Senegal competed mostly against women.

【2】What does the underlined word ‘noteworthy’ in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Ordinary.

B．Remarkable.

C．Awful.

D．Unsurprising.

【3】Why did Jai establish a golf academy?

A．To protect the golfer players in Senegal from Covid.

B．To prepare for 2026 summer youth Olympics in Dakar.

C．To find a sponsor to help her continue to compete internationally.

D．To be specifically bent on training the next generation of golfers.

【4】What can be the best title for the passage?

A．The First Woman Golfer in the World.

B．A Muslim Golfer.

C．A Woman Who Brought Female Golfers Into the Fold.

D．The Senegalese Woman Golfer Who Competes Against Men.

24、   Is there a single word that motivates us more than “weekend”？ It's like the promise of a sweet hereafter following what seems like a lifetime of toil (劳累). It's the spring in our step that gets bouncier with each passing day - until by Friday, we're practically bumping our heads against the ceiling.

The trouble is that the weekend is a rip-off. You think you're getting 48 hours of unconditional downtime, but reality takes a discount. In fact, it takes most of Sunday. That's when anxiety comes creeping in and another countdown begins: 12 hours until Monday. Sure, weekend is free time. But the mounting stress of an incoming Monday can erase any joy you might get from a Sunday evening.

That feeling is so common among the Monday-to-Friday crowd, there's even more than one name for it: the Sunday Scaries, or Sunday Fear Syndrome. Going from a countdown to the weekend to a countdown to Monday can be difficult. Even Monster.com - a website that specializes in yoking humans to the Monday-to-Friday cycle -admits it's a problem. In a survey, Monster found that 76% of Americans have “really bad” Sunday night blues.

For most people, Sunday is no holiday at all. It may all come down to the same problem: We can't stop thinking about tomorrow. Even worse, we may develop some downright unhealthy coping strategies for that transition from weekends to Monday. Some might resist - staying up late, milking every minute of a fleeting Sunday in the form of mind-numbing distractions.

But why should Monday cast such a long and fearful shadow on our lives? Maybe it's because the counter is reset, and the weekend, or happiness, seems at its furthest point. If, like most of us, you have a tolerable job, but don't much like the whole idea of working, there are plenty of ways to make Mondays a little less stressful. Most importantly, don't leave any unsettled Friday business hanging over the weekend. So, clear the decks and tie up loose ends.

【1】What do we know about weekend in paragraph2?

A．It is hard-earned.

B．It doesn't bring joy as expected.

C．It adds to people's anxiety.

D．It provides good time to relax.

【2】Why does the writer mention Monster.com in the text?

A．To support his idea.

B．To clarify a question.

C．To show its popularity.

D．To provide more information.

【3】What does the writer think of the way most people spend the weekend?

A．Tolerant.

B．Conservative.

C．Practical.

D．Unwise.

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

A．Why Monday Takes a Bite Out of Sunday

B．Why People Are Stressed Out on Fridays

C．Why a Countdown to the Weekend Is Difficult

D．Why Monday Casts a Fearful Shadow on Our Lives
