21、When traditional treatments fail to help patients with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD强迫症)，an implant that shocks the brain with electrical pulses (脉搏) just might, a new research review shows. It found that the treatment — known as “deep brain stimulation,” or DBS — can offer significant relief to as many as two-thirds of such patients.

“OCD involves forced and bothersome thoughts that the individual cannot silence, and repetitive behaviors performed to reduce the anxiety.” said study author Dr. Sameer Sheth, a professor of neurosurgery at Baylor College of Medicine. Examples of OCD include repeated handwashing, ordering and arranging, repeating words in one’s head, and checking and double-checking.

Enter DBS for the brain. “It consists of a stimulator typically put under the skin in the upper chest and connected to an electrode (电极).”Sheth said. “The electrode is placed in specific regions in the brain, aiming that by restoring activity in these areas to a more balanced state, DBS settles the symptoms of OCD.”

To find out whether it works, Sheth’s team reviewed the findings of 31 studies conducted between 2005 and 2021. Altogether, the studies included 345 adult OCD patients, at an average age of 40. The review showed that after a treatment period of about two years, DBS had produced obvious symptom improvements in two-thirds of the patients. Significant depression relief was also owed to DBS treatment. About one in five patients experienced at least one serious side effect of DBS. Still, Sheth stressed that the upside is hard to ignore. He added, “there is actually little risk of DBS for appropriately selected patients.”

“Since the DBS electrodes are placed in the brain regions contributing to OCD, it is not a surprise that it works.” said Dr. Gopalkumar Rakesh, a professor at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine. “Although it’s not a brand-new treatment, DBS really is in the more-research-needed stage of development. So I would say that the results of this study point to the need for even more research to determine which patients would really adjust to that treatment to have the greatest benefit.”

【1】What do people suffering from OCD tend to do?

A．They just wash their hands on occasions.

B．They like to give orders and arrangements.

C．They may repeat an action to reduce anxiety.

D．They can have unwanted thoughts controlled.

【2】According to the research, how does DBS help to treat OCD?

A．It leads to slight symptom improvements.

B．It contributes to obvious depression relief.

C．It eases as many patients with OCD as possible.

D．It reduces OCD-caused symptoms by two-thirds.

【3】What can be inferred about the application of DBS to treat OCD?

A．There is no risk of DBS for patients.

B．It is a wonder that DBS works for OCD.

C．DBS needs more research to be adopted.

D．DBS is sure to be of great benefit to all.

【4】What may be the purpose of the passage?

A．To advocate using DBS for treating OCD.

B．To inform people of the symptoms of OCD.

C．To compare different ways of treating OCD.

D．To introduce an effective way of treating OCD.

22、   Pleasingly, a new study supports one of my favourite insights about writing, or getting any creative work done-though I’m pretty sure that wasn’t intentional, since the researchers were actually studying traffic jams. Jonathan Boreyko, an American engineering professor, was crawling along in his car one day, observing how drivers naturally bunch up at red lights, leaving mere inches between vehicles. Their motivation isn’t a mystery: the closer you are to the car ahead, you’d assume, the better your chances of squeezing through before the light goes back to red, and the sooner you’ll reach your destination, even if you also increase the risk of collisions.

But you’d assume wrong. When Boreyko and a colleague recreated the traffic-light scenario (场景) on a special test track, they found that drivers who bunched up made no swifter progress. True, they stopped slightly closer to the light. But it also took them longer to resume (继续) moving safely, and these two factors canceled each other out. “There’s no point in getting closer to the car in front of you when traffic comes to a stop.” Boreyko concluded.

This is true of writing or similar work. People never rest in urgent pursuit of their goals. Yes, it all looks impressively productive. But as the psychologist Robert Boice argues, racing to get a task completed generally brings a cost that outweighs the benefit. You tire yourself out, so you can’t shine the next day. Or you neglect so many other duties that you’re forced to take an extra day to catch up. Or you start damaging work you already produced — which is why the novelist Cabriel Carcfa Marqucz said he gave up writing in the afternoon: he wrote more, but he had to redo it the next morning, so the overall effect was to slow him down. That’s also why Boice insists that when you’re writing on a schedule, it’s as important to be disciplined about stopping as starting, even if you’re on a roll.

Clearly, this is all a convenient way to feel superior to people who put in more hours. But that doesn’t mean it’s untrue. Indeed, it’s scary to ask what role impatience play in your life in general: how much of each day we spend leaning into the future, trying to get tasks “out of the way”, always focused on the destination, metaphorically (隐喻地) inching closer and closer to the bumper of the car ahead. None of it gets us anywhere faster. It’s also no way to live.

【1】Which of the following best summarizes the finding of Boreyko’s study?

A.The sooner, the better.  B.More haste, no extra speed.

C.The early bird catches the worm. D.Chances favour the prepared mind.

【2】The author wants to tell us that in creative work____.

A.tight planning avoids chaos B.overwork polishes our images

C.impatience almost never pays D.afternoon time is less productive

【3】The author writes the passage to______.

A.advise people to stop racing B.instruct people to write skillfully

C.persuade people to treasure time D.warn people to obey traffic rules

23、Forgotten Password? Never Again!

Passwords should be complex and varied enough to be secure, yet still memorable. 【1】 No wonder so many people use the same password over and over again or simply write them all down!

A much better idea is to follow a system. 【2】 It’s good exercise for your brain and a valuable way to protect your identity online.

The following system uses letters, numbers and symbols, so it will please even the strictest website. First, choose a short quotation, one that no one would have any reason to associate with you. Pick out the initial letters——creating the first “building block” for your passwords. 【3】.

Next, choose a meaningful date again, one that can’t be guessed or easily researched. Maybe the year of a favourite holiday, 86 say. Then add a random element by picking any two keyboard symbols: for example, & and £.

Finally, organise these building blocks in any order you like. And strengthen the code further by making some of the letters lower case, and some upper: maybe 86&£PiAs. 【4】 And then add two or three extra letters each time, a few initials or abbreviations (缩写形式) to remind you of what this particular password is for. For example, you might use BT for your phone account, or CC for the camera club forum. So the final password for your BBC account could be: BBC86&£PiAs.

【5】 But each password ends up being complex and unique, helping to protect your identity and giving your memory a cracking workout every time.

A．Start using it as the basis for every new password you set.

B．With a system like this, you’ve got a basic method to follow.

C．But with so many to keep track of, this can be hard to achieve.

D．So, if you chose, “Play it again, Sam”, you’d have the letters PIAS.

E．Spend a little time getting to know how to remember your passwords.

F．It is not difficult to memorize your passwords once you get the hang of it.

G．You save time at the setting stage, and have a clear pattern for your memory to follow.

24、How to Get Rid of Study Stress

Do you find yourself feeling stressed and overwhelmed when studying for quizzes, tests, or final exams? This is a common problem among many young people, whether they are in junior high or college. However, there are many tricks that can be used to avoid being stressed about studying for school. 【1】

Whether you are taking a college course on psychology or a driver’s education class, it is important to pay close attention to what your instructor is saying. Typically, if the teacher repeats themselves or writes something on the board, it is important to understand and remember. 【2】

An important part of preventing distraction is by taking concise(简明的), clear notes in class.【3】 Write down things you do not clearly understand or cannot remember. Use graphs, diagrams, and arrows to thoroughly explain concepts. This will help you understand lectures and will reduce study stress at a later time.

If you find yourself not understanding a concept and the text is not making it clear to you, ask questions. 【4】 If you do not understand something, your studying will be confusing and help you very little. If the teacher mentions something in class, do not be afraid to raise your hand and ask if they can explain it further. Better yet, talk to your teacher after school to get some one-on-one time so that you feel confident about your comprehension of a topic.

【5】 Getting adequate sleep allows the mind to store concepts and topics so that you can remember and understand them. Get enough sleep the night before an exam. This should be no problem, since you won't be cramming!

A. Try to make it to every class, and take notes to keep yourself from being distracted during the lecture.

B. Getting ahead on reading the material will ensure that you understand it (or at least some of it).

C. Rest is actually vastly important for your mind to retain information.

D. Write down things the teacher repeats or writes on the board.

E. Set aside thirty minutes every evening to repeat what you learned in class that day.

F. Here are some effective ways to reduce your own study stress.

G. You must ask questions in order to have stress-free studying.

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。

Factoring in the biting wind, I knew the temperature was below zero. The bitter cold cut through my Californian sensibilities, as well as my enthusiasm as a tourist, so I moved ;to the nearest door for warmth and found myself in a station.

I settled onto one of the public benches with a steaming cup of coffee-waiting for feeling to return to my fingers and toes-and relaxed to watch the people around.

Several tables of diners spilled out into the great hall from the American Restaurant, and smells of the food caused me to consider an early dinner. I observed a man seated nearby and, from the longing in his eyes, realized that he, too, noticed the tasty food. His skinny body, chapped (皲裂的) hands and shabby clothes nearly shouted, “Homeless, homeless!”

I wondered how long it had been since he last ate.

Half expecting him to approach me for a handout (施舍物), I almost welcomed such a request. He never did. The longer I took in the scene, the crueler his situation seemed. My head and heart experienced a’ silent war, one telling me to mind my own business, and the other urging a trip to the food court on his behalf.

While my internal debate went on, a well-dressed young couple approached him. “Excuse me, sir,” the husband began. “My wife and I just finished eating, and our appetites weren’t as big as we thought. We hate to waste good food. Can you help us out and put this to use?” He extended a large container.

“God bless you both,” came the grateful reply.

Pleased, yet upset by my own lack of action, I continued to watch. The man rearranged the soup crackers, inspected the sandwich and stirred the salad dressing. Then, slowly he lifted the soup lid, cupping his hands around the steaming bowl. At last, he unwrapped the plastic spoon, filled it to overflowing, lifted it toward his mouth and, all of a sudden, stopped short.

I turned my head to follow his narrow-eyed gaze.

注意：

Entering the hall and walking slowly in our direction was an old man.
