21、Every day our life is full of images, videos, music and news. In this age of visual and aural hyperstimulation（视听的高度刺激），the medium of radio is making a marked comeback.
“We're at the dawn of a golden age of audio," said US-based podcaster Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald. In the last month alone, 15 percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast. These data, released by Edison Research, reveal the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the present day's digital podcast format（播客形式）. The term "podcast," was coined in 2004, but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years. Since the leap in consumer demand for smart phones and tablets, podcast subscription rates have only accelerated.
You can tune in during those extra minutes of the day when you're walking to the shops, waiting in a queue or riding the subway. Similar to television shows, podcasts are generally free to download on computer or iPod and most offer new content every week.
Donna Jackson, 22, Sydney University media graduate, listens to podcasts two or three times a week, via-iTunes.¨ I listen while I'm hanging out in the house doing something else.
It makes completing a boring task a lot more enjoyable... And it's an easy way of keeping in touch with what's going on in the rest of the world," she said. “I mainly listen to BBC podcasts, but recently I've also been tuning into This American Life and Serial.”
Unlike television and music, the audio format has the ability to create a deep impression on readers. Blumberg says this comes down to the podcast's ability "to create emotional connection." Sydney University undergraduate Hazel Proust, major in social work and arts, agrees. "When you're tuned in, it feels as if the podcaster is talking directly to you. It's comforting," said Proust.
It seems the age-old tradition of verbal（口头的）storytelling is very much alive and well.
【1】According to the passage, which of the following is Not a suitable time to listen to procasts ?
A. Attending a lecture. B. Riding the subway.
C. Walking to the shop. D. Waiting for a bus.
【2】According to the passage, one difference between television and audio format is that____。
A. only audio format has the ability to create emotional connection to download
B. only audio format helps people keep in touch with the world's change
C. only television provides new content every week
D. only television shows can be free
【3】 What does the underlined word "coined" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. written. B. thought. C. invented. D. found.
【4】It can be inferred from passage that____.
A. people like to listen to podcasts when they work
B. podcasts are more and more popular with people
C. the voice of the podcaster attracts many listeners
D. people keep in touch with each other by listening to podcasts
22、Trust—the Foundation of Relationships
Can you imagine an organization without trust, where the workers are suspicious(怀疑的)of one another? Are you willing to work with a manager who is quick to put down any potential worker that might take his place? As a leader, you must do your best to build trust in your followers. It is not about mastering techniques to win people over; it is about living a life full of honor and gaining the respect of your followers. 【1】.
·Build your character
Trust is based on a very simple foundation. Will you do what you say? Do your words count for something? 【2】. If you’re a person who cannot seem to live up to what you say, you have to work on it first. Before you can expect others to trust you, you have to do what you Say.
·【3】
Another thing that a leader should have is to trust others first. Laozi, a Chinese philosopher, once said, “He who does not trust enough, will not be trusted.” Trusting others means you don’t micromanage their behavior or activities. 【4】. All these actions give your followers an assurance that you are indeed trusting their ability and character.
·Just take your time
【5】. Building trust is like making small deposits in a bank account; you make small deposits every month that add up to a considerable amount at the end of many years. Similarly, as you lead, it is in the small events that you will display your credibility as a leader that will accumulate that trust for you. Gradually, you will find you have in your hands an effective team that moves fast and works closely together.
Learn to trust, and learn to be trusted.
A．Be ready to trust others
B．Share how you really feel
C．Here are some helpful tips on how to build trust
D．Instead, it means you give your authority to them
E．It takes years to build trust, and only seconds to destroy it
F．Your word is gold and you have to keep in line in word and action
G．The happy and satisfying relationships rest on a foundation of trust

24、These days there is so much tempting technology to look at: smart phones, tablets, computer games and TV screens. Much of children's entertainment and education comes from using them, so it's no wonder they spend so much time staring at them. But even if the saying that looking at a screen for too long gives you square eyes isn't true, there is still some concern. So, should we be worried?
Certainly for children who spend hours glued to a screen, there is a concern that their health might be at risk. Also there is a fear that their eyesight is declining too. Although there's not much evidence to prove this yet, recent findings have brought the problem into light.
Chris Hammond, consultant at St Thomas' Hospital, says “We find short-sightedness is becoming more common It has greatly spread in East Asia, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea where approaching 90 of 18-year-olds are now short-sighted.”
But can this be linked to children's obsession with using electronic gadgets? Annegret Dahlmann, expert at Moorfields Eve Hospital in London. says lack of natural light seems to be the key issue. She's suggested that children in East Asia study a lot, using computers, smart phones or tablets, and they go outside less. Wearing glasses is one solution, but it's not ideal.
This leads to a dilemma: achieving short-term academic success or protecting your long-term eyesight. It's always going to be a challenge to drag children away from their screens and it's likely that more and more studying will be done online. But despite that, Professor Hammond says. “In countries like urban China, where 10% of children in each class per year are becoming short-sighted from about the age of six. there's an argument for saying we should be trying to prevent it.” It's evidence we can't turn a blind eye to. So, maybe it's time to hit the “off” button and get our children outside?
【1】What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?
A．Recent findings have opened our eyes to the issue of eyesight.
B．Looking at a screen for too long will get you square eyes.
C．It has been confirmed that children's eyesight is failing.
D．Using electronic gadgets affects children's education.
【2】According to Annegret, which is mainly to blame for short-sightedness?
A．Wearing glasses.
B．Heavy school work.
C．Lack of natural light.
D．Booming technology.
【3】According to the text, what trouble has raised concerns?
A．Learning online or offline.
B．Reading for pleasure or exams.
C．Focusing on study or protecting eyesight.
D．Protecting eyesight or promoting technology.
【4】What does the author call on children to do?
A．Study hard.
B．Head outdoors.
C．Quit computer.
D．Challenge more.
