22、   Although the first Fourth of July fireworks began more than 200 years ago in Philadelphia, the celebration never grows old. So whether you’re starting your family’s Fourth of July traditions or just looking for a new place to see great fireworks this Independence Day, check out our list of top places to catch magnificent fireworks displays.

Bristol, Rhode Island

Bristol is credited with having the oldest Fourth of July celebration in the country, with a 230-year history of patriotic festivities. The town’s first Independence Day celebration was held in the early 1800s, more than two centuries ago. The celebration features a concert series at Independence Park, a performance from the Drum Corps, a carnival and parade, and of course, a beautiful fireworks show over the Bristol Harbor.

New York City, New York

Macy’s annual show is the nation’s largest fireworks display with more than 40,000 fireworks and a 38-year record of extraordinary entertainment. You can view the fireworks from anywhere with open views of the sky above the East River. This fireworks show has become an American tradition, and even those who can’t make the trip out to New York City can tune into NBC at 8 p.m., July 4.

Gorham, New Hampshire

Gorham’s Fourth of July Spectacular is one of New Hampshire’s longest running Independence Day celebrations, with four days of exciting events. The fireworks show will begin after dark on July 4 in the skies over the carnival. But that’s not the end of the fun. Stick around for another day to see a classic car parade and get your fill of the carnival rides and even visit Concord enjoying the breathtaking scenery.

23、   According to a new study, running 50 minutes a week, at a pace between 10- and 7.5-minute mile, helped lower the risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease and other causes. Working out more than that didn’t mean more health benefits, say the researchers, based on a review of a number of studies.

Because running is a popular form of physical activity, study coauthor Zeljko Pedisic and his workmates chose to take a bird’s eye view of what past studies of running and the risk of death had concluded. The team collected 14 papers that collectively studied 230,000 people for the effects of running on cardiovascular, cancer and other causes. Most participants were from the US and Europe.

Pooling the results from these 14 studies showed that running led to lowering the risk of cancer-related death by 23%, the risk of cardiovascular-related death by 30%, and the risk of death from all other causes by 27%. Those benefits appeared even when people ran relatively slowly and for under an hour a week — less time than the World Health Organization recently suggests.

There are warnings to the research, though. Among other things, possibly these benefits were found because all the 14 studies of running and the cause of death only included healthy people from the get-go, the authors write. Also, only two of the papers recorded how people’s running habits over the years, and how often people ran was self-reported in other papers.

Though the results suggest that people might need less of a workout than the WHO might suggest, that doesn’t mean it’s time to change these standards, Pedisic says. There are other health factors than need to be examined besides the risk of death, he says, and people need other ways to keep fit, too.

【1】What’s the new study mainly about?

A.Running as slowly as possible could keep you healthy

B.Running led to lower risk of death than other diseases

C.Running more than 50 minutes a week was bad for health

D.Running less than an hour a week could lower risks of death

【2】What does the underlined word“that" refer to in the 1st paragraph?

A.Running 50 minutes a month B.Running 10 miles a week

C.Running 50 minutes a week D.Running 7.5 miles a week

【3】It can be learned from the 14 studies that _______

A.12 of the studies self-reported how often people ran

B.most of the studies recorded people’s running habits

C.only people from America and Europe were included

D.running lowered the risk of death from cancer by 30%

【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.People should run more than what the WHO suggests

B.The WHO needs to change its standards for running

C.The new study results need to be further proved

D.Running is one of the best ways to keep fit

24、   The Pomodoro technique is probably one of the most powerful techniques in all of learning. All you have to do is set a timer for 25 minutes, and then just focus as attentively as you can for those 25 minutes.

Now if you start focusing on and you're working on, and then you look up at the timer and two minutes have passed. You may feel like you can't hold on. And just let the thought go by , and return your focus to whatever you are working on. And when that 25 minutes is up you relax a little bit. You might wonder why that 25 minutes is the magic number, and the reality is we don't really know. There's not a lot of research on the Pomodoro technique, which is surprising because it's so incredibly popular and people find it very useful.

But there's an interesting tidbit related to the Pomodoro technique, and that is that: when you just think about something that you don't like very much, it stimulates a part of the brain that experiences pain. And so the brain naturally enough shifts its attention to something else, like Facebook or Twitter or something like that.

And what the Pomodoro technique does, when you do it you're setting that timer. You don't want to sit there and think , “I'm going to work on this problem and get it all finished. You just want to think, I've got 25 minutes where I just have to work on something." Don't even think about what that something is. What that does is it slips in under your brain's radar. It doesn't stimulate so much that pain in your brain; and then that pain in the brain, research has shown , lasts for 20 minutes.

So if you work for 25 minutes you will suddenly find yourself getting into the flow because you've gone past that painful period. So the Pomodoro technique is effective in many different aspects.

【1】Which is an example of using the Pomodoro technique?

A.Reading a novel for 25 minutes.

B.Spending 25 minutes scanning WeChat.

C.Setting a timer for 25 minutes to do a tough task.

D.Attending a lecture for 25 minutes with two minds.

【2】What can be inferred about the Pomodoro technique from paragraph 2?

A.The first two minutes is vital. B.25 minutes is a magic number.

C.More research is around the corner. D.You may get discouraged when using it.

【3】Why is the tidbit mentioned in paragraph 3?

A.To further explain the Pomodoro technique.

B.To arouse interest in the Pomodoro technique.

C.To highlight how to use the Pomodoro technique.

D.To prove the effectiveness of the Pomodoro technique.

【4】How does the Pomodoro technique work?

A.It boosts your concentration. B.It helps your mind go faster.

C.It urges you to finish your work. D.It shortens the pain time in your brain.
