21、 There are few things in life that are more irritating(令人愤怒的):You are mid-conversation with a friend. Suddenly he bursts out laughing,making you think you've made a brilliant joke. But then he says:"Sorry,I wasn't laughing at you,I just saw something really funny on micro blog. "He even begins replying to a text message or checking his e-mails.
The Guardian described the scene that a friend's face buried in a screen"a distinct 21 st-century problem". The phenomenon even coins a new word"phubbing",referring to the act of snubbing(冷落) others in a social setting by looking at your phone instead of paying attention. According to research by advertising agency McCann in the UK,37 percent of people feel it is worse not to answer a message than it is to"phub"your friends.
Phil Reed,a professor of psychology at Swansea University who has studied Internet addiction disorder,said many phubbers show symptoms of addiction to their mobile phone.
Like pointing or picking your nose,phubbing is widely considered rude,which can be seen from the popularity of"Stop Phubbing"campaign,which started in Australia by 23-year-old Alex Haigh who wants to shame people who snub friends and family they are with in favor of checking their mobile phone.
The campaign's website claims that"97 percent of people claim their food tasted worse while being a victim of phubbing"and"92 percent of repeat phubbers go on to become politicians".
According to Katy Steinmetz,reporter with Time,phubbing"has a much greater potential to hamper(阻碍)real-life connections by making people around us feel like we care more about posts than their presence". She believes it is the reason why the campaign can resonate(产生共鸣)with people and is getting press around the world.
In the UK,Glamour magazine even imagined just how Jane Austen would have satirized(讽刺)those in need of social etiquette(礼节)when it comes to using their smartphone. Or,to paraphrase(意译)the novelist,how it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man(or woman)in possession of a good smartphone must be in want of manners.
【1】The example in the opening paragraph is used to show
A.how people benefit from modern technology
B.how to reply text messages and e-mails properly
C.how to avoid hurting your friends'feelings
D.how mobile phone addiction damages our social relations
【2】The purpose of the"Stop Phubbing"campaign is to_
A.persuade people to stop using mobile phones
B.give professional advice to phubbing victims
C.help people realize the rudeness of phubbing behaviors
D.encourage people to spend more time with their family
【3】Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the article?
A.People who often phub are more likely to make a successful politician.
B.Pointing or picking one's nose are common symptoms of phubbers.
C.Phubbing is against human nature in that we do need real-life connections.
D.More than one third British would rather not answer a message than phub their friends.
【4】What is the tone of the last paragraph?
A.serious
B.humorous
C.doubtful
D.disagreeing
22、 I grew up in a Midwestern town where the popular wisdom was to only talk about what was pleasant and to keep secrets, if necessary, to make that happen.
This meant staying mum when someone offended you, rarely expressing unpleasant feelings and smiling slightly more than is necessary. It also meant zero room for airing any sort of dirty laundry,especially not the kinds of personal secrets that keep people up.
Many of us like to believe that hiding unpleasant truths might make them eventually go away. Instead, keeping secrets— especially heavy ones— can spin an even more complicated web of loneliness and deception(欺骗) . So why do we do it?
The truth can hurt. But in many situations, it’ s better to get it out and let the recovery start, rather than allowing it to be more harmful.
The burden of holding in the truth doesn’ t just disappear. It hides in the back of your mind and can cause disorder to your life and health.
“ If the situations in your daily life are regular reminders of the secret, and you find it stressful to keep it, then yes, it can have emotional(感情上的) and physical consequences, ” says Dr. Dean McKay.
“ Some people also find keeping secrets stressful out of a general concern they will ‘ slip’ , and this frequent thought of the secret can in itself be stressful. ”
This difficulty is especially worse if you feel trapped by the secret, or if it brings up other unpleasant feelings like guilt, shame or anxiety.
If you do decide that your secrets took your joy away and would be better off being let out into the world, and if that secret doesn’ t put other people in physical danger, there are healthy ways to share it.
【1】What is considered wise for most people in the Midwestern town?
A.Expressing feelings freely. B.Keeping unpleasant truths secret.
C.Answering violence with violence. D.Sharing private matters with friends.
【2】What is a suggested way to deal with the unpleasant situations?
A.To hide your feelings. B.To tell a white lie.
C.To make no response. D.To expose the truth.
【3】What can be inferred about secrets in the text?
A.They are bad for your health. B.They are hardly accepted by people.
C.They bring up more positive feelings. D.They help prevent disorder in your life.
【4】What will probably be talked about in the paragraph that follows?
A.Reasons for holding secrets. B.Ways to share secrets.
C.Doubts about breaking secrets. D.Tips on keeping secrets.

24、2022 Earthshot Prize Winners
The Earthshot Prize is a 10-year project by Britain government that aims to find solutions to the biggest environmental problems the planet faces. The hope is that those solutions can be shared and repeated around the world. Every year, four prizes are awarded and each prize-winner wins $1. 2 million for their efforts.
Protect And Restore Nature
Kheyti won the prize for protecting and restoring nature with its “Greenhouse-in-a-box” idea. The company provides a simple, large greenhouse to small farmers at a low cost. The greenhouses allow farmers to use 90% less water and produce seven times as much food. The company is already working with 1, 000 farmers across India Kheytihopes to get its greenhouses to 50, 000 farmers by 2027. Clean Our Air Charlot Magayi won the prize for cleaning the air. After her daughter was burned by a charcoal-burning stove, Ms. Magayi developed a safer, cleaner stove, called the Mukuru Clean Stove. Ms. Magayi’s stoves use a different fuel that’s cheaper and pollutes far less than charcoal stoves. Currently. over 200, 000 Mukuru Clean Stoves are being used in Kenya. In three years, Ms. Magayi hopes to increase that number to 1 million.
Revive Our Oceans
The Revive Our Oceans prize was won by the Queensland Indigenous Women Rangers Network (QIWRN). Over the last four years, QIWRN has trained 60 indigenous women to help protect the environment.
