21、Have you ever had the pleasure of popping the small air-filled bubbles that make up a sheet of bubble wrap (气泡膜包装)? If so, you know there’s something highly satisfying about it. Have you ever wondered why people like bubble wrap so much?
It turns out that there is some science behind the human connection to bubble wrap. Some experts believe it’s similar to the need to fidget (坐立不安). Do you click a pen or bounce your leg while you’re listening? Maybe you like to draw aimlessly in the corners of your notes or squeeze a stress ball. These small actions are all types of fidgeting.
While some people think fidgeting is distracting, it’s actually been shown to increase attention span. It also helps with the memory of information. Similarly, a study revealed that people report feeling more alert after popping bubble wrap.
The results also showed that people who popped bubble wrap were calmer afterward than those who did not. So, like fidgeting, popping bubble wrap may increase people’s ability to pay attention and remember what they learn.
Experts also say the enjoyment of bubble wrap may be tied to human evolution. In other words, your brain is wired to enjoy it! Early humans had to be on their toes all the time. They needed to be ready to run from a predator (捕食者) at a moment’s notice.
Today, people spend a lot of time sitting, especially at school and at work. As a result, the body may build a lot of muscle tension from lack of movement.
Popping bubble wrap helps relax that muscle tension. It reduces stress and anxiety. In fact, studies have shown that, sometimes, the human brain receives feel-good chemicals like dopamine after popping bubble wrap. So that may be why it feels so satisfying!
【1】According to Paragraph 2, while feeling nervous or bored people probably _________.
A．Sit still
B．Keep silent
C．Bounce the leg
D．Chat with others
【2】What does the underlined phrase “on their toes” in paragraph 5 mean?
A．mindful
B．concentrated
C．considerate
D．aggressive
【3】Which of the following is not the benefit of popping bubble wrap?
A．It reduces pressure and anxiety.
B．It makes people calm and alert.
C．It increases concentration ability.
D．It strengthens people’s muscles.
【4】Where does the passage probably come from?
A．A medical report.
B．A science magazine.
C．A chemistry paper.
D．A fashion magazine.
22、 Want to plan a kid-friendly vacation? Children will love to see their favorite cartoon characters come to life in the Disneyland Park.

But with every attraction, there is a high price to match. Follow a few simple steps to make your Disneyland vacation affordable and fun for the whole family.

24、 In our daily lives, we probably make silly mistakes. While these moments can be worrying, they can also be handled with humor. When we share a laugh at our mistakes, we can calm ourselves down with a thread of understanding and acceptance.
When one morning in a rush to school, I spilled (泼洒)my cup of orange juice. I immediately thought of the precious minutes I would have to spend in cleaning up the floor. I raced back and forth to the sink(洗碗槽)with a kitchen cloth soaked (浸透)with juice to wash off. My legs were shaking as I watched from my window the school bus coming to my street. Within a minute, I had thrown the orange juice-soaked cloth to the sink and ran outside to join the group of kids in entering the bus. When thinking about my morning rush to clean up the spilled juice on the bus, I realized how much unnecessary stress and worry I put myself through. I ended up smiling to myself about my minor nervousness over spilled juice.
These days I don’t usually spill orange juice, but I do sometimes spill a bit of spaghetti sauce on my pant or put on my sweater backwards when I’m really tired and in a hurry for school. In each of my mistakes, I try to remind myself not to take myself so seriously. It takes me a minute to calm down, take a deep breath and smile at my carelessness. It is the ability to see mistakes in a different way that enables me to find humor in everyday moments.
Humor, however, doesn’t always have to arise from silly mistakes. Kids may have a good laugh at comic books, classic jokes and stories told by friends and parents. What matters more is not where you find the humor in life, but that you can appreciate it.
【1】When we make mistakes in our daily lives, we ________.
A．should treat them properly
B．may try to enjoy ourselves
C．must know the value of them
D．had better forget them in time
【2】We can learn from Paragraph 3 that the author ________.
A．makes many mistakes now and then
B．tries to keep himself calm with humor
C．has been used to being busy every day
D．always makes other people around happy
【3】What does the author intend to tell us?
A．We should try to find where humor lies.
B．We can be happy by enjoying humor.
C．It is natural for us to make mistakes.
D．Reading is a good habit for every person.

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。
Sista raced ahead, the sea breeze streaming against her face. Rafi finally caught up and then they rested in the shade.
I’m hungry. I know where there’s a great apple tree.” Sista said, “It belongs to an oldlady called Susan who lives in the little house by the hill. I heard she’s stubborn,but that sometimes she gives fruit in return for an errand(跑腿).”
“Let’s go,” Rafi said. They crossed a stream by hopping from rock to rock. Finally,upon ahilltop,they saw a splendid apple tree with bright red fruits.
A small farmhouse stood at the bottom of the hill. Rafi’s heart pounded as Sista knocked onthe door. An elderly woman answered.
“Yes?” the lady asked, staring at the girls.
“We heard ...“ said Sista, her voice shaky, “that we could run an errand for you in exchangefor apples.”
Susan raised one eyebrow. “Ah, yes. ” She clicked her tongue. “Nothing is free, eh?”
She led the girls into the kitchen. When passing the living room, Sista found that the wallwas decorated with colourful crayon drawings, which seem to be children’s. She wondered whodrew these since Susan was alone,with no grandchildren,even no families or relatives. The ladygrabbed two baskets, one large and one small, and pushed them into the girls hands. “Go fill these with apples. Come right back.”
The girls raced up the hill to the tree, climbed the branches, and picked the ripest apples.After filling the baskets, they returned to the house.
Susan filled a bag with rice and dried beans, and then she handed it to Sista.“Take this bagand the large basket of apples to the Gomez family. Do you know them?”
The girls nodded. Sista had heard that Mr. Gomez has been sick in bed for a long time andMrs.Gomez has to raise three little kids.
“Good.And ask them for the payment," Susan added with a tight smile.
