21、A few weeks ago, I called an Uber to take me to the Boston airport for a flight home for the holidays. As I slid into the back seat of the car, the warm intonations(语调) of the driver’s accent washed over me in a familiar way.
I learned that he was a recent West African immigrant with a few young children, working hard to provide for his family. I could relate: I am the daughter of two Ethiopian immigrants who made their share of sacrifices to ensure my success. I told him I was on a college break and headed home to visit my parents. That’s how he found out I went to Harvard. An approving eye glinted at me in the rearview window, and quickly, we crossed the boundaries of rider and driver. I became his daughter, all grown up—the product of his sacrifice.
And then came the fateful question: “What do you study?” I answered “history and literature” and the pride in his voice faded, as I knew it might. I didn’t even get to add “and African-American studies” before he cut in, his voice thick with disappointment, “All that work to get into Harvard, and you study history?”
Here I was, his daughter, wasting the biggest opportunity of her life. He went on to deliver the age-old lecture that all immigrant kids know. We are to become doctors (or lawyers, if our parents are being generous)—to make money and send money back home. The unspoken demand, made across generations, which my Uber driver laid out plainly, is simple: Fulfill your role in the narrative(故事) of upward mobility so your children can do the same.
I used to feel anxious and backed into a corner by the questioning, but now as a junior in college, I’m grateful for their support more than anything. This holiday season, I’ve promised myself I won’t get annoyed at their inquiries. I won’t defensively respond with “but I plan to go to law school!” when I get unrequested advice. I’ll just smile and nod, and enjoy the warmth of the occasion.

22、Jamin Crow waited silently for the bull moose (麋鹿) to turn and face him. In the cold, the teen stood with his gun resting on a branch. He waited and waited. Then the moose turned, and his brother started to yell, "Shoot!” If Crow didn't shoot, his brother would. So Crow took a deep breath and pulled the trigger. "I look at my brother and he's giving me the happiest look I've ever seen," he says.
Crow lives in Bethel, in the remote region of Alaska. For generations, his family has practiced subsistence (生存) hunting to get food on the table. The process hasn't changed much. The Crows use motor boats and snowmobiles to get to their moose camp which serves as a home base while they're on hunting trips. "Food is very expensive here. You have to ship everything up," Crow says. "We don't go out just for the antlers (鹿角).We're not looking for prize. We're not hunting for something big. We're looking for meat to feed our families. "
Crow is one of three Alaska Native students-along with Kaylee King and Ethan Lincoln — who recorded their hunting tradition before they graduated last spring. Their record was chosen as a finalist in this year's NPR Student Record Challenge. The three students say hunting helped them get through the isolation of the pandemic, when their schools and many other activities like sports were shut down because of COVIE-19. The students explain that, as time goes by, fewer and fewer people are practicing hunting.
"It makes me really sad because the way we used to do things is so different from how we do them now," Crow says. "Even our language is slowly fading away." For the students, the practice of hunting allows them to connect with older generations. "Whenever I go out hunting with my granny, I'm always hearing past stories about when my dad was a kid and he went hunting or my late grandpa how he would just take the family up." Crow says.

23、Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM), with Chinese Kungfu and Peking Opera, is one of China's cultural symbols recognized worldwide. It is a treasure of Chinese civilization, making great contributions to world civilization by improving people's health and promoting social progress. In the meanwhile, TCM creates a new situation.
There used to be discussions in China about whether TCM or Western medicine was better, and arguments can still be heard today. But actually, TCM and western medicine are two different medical systems that cannot replace each other. In some aspects such as surgery, Western medicine is better than TCM, but in other areas, such as recovery after surgery and treatment of long-term diseases, TCM is more effective. This is why some Chinese hospitals provide both TCM and Western medicine treatments. A combination of both has been accepted by many Chinese people as the most effective treatment.
Today, promoting and innovating TCM has become accepted in Chinese society. The Chinese government has made policies to support the development and innovation of TCM, with a view to establishing a Chinese healthcare development model paying equal attention to both.
The supportive policies of the Chinese Government will concentrate on three aspects. The first is the strengthening of TCM services in medical institutions. The second is to apply Internet technology to TCM management, including setting up a database containing TCM electronic medical records and prescriptions ( 处方)The third is to give better play to the advantages of TCM, especially acupuncture ( 针灸)and naprapathy(推拿). The function of TCM in disease prevention and recovery will also be strengthened.
As long as TCM keeps its advantages and respects the rules of development and innovation, it will surely be able to keep important and bring more benefits to people in China and the world.
【1】What advantage does Western medicine have over TCM？

24、 Does an unborn baby know his mothers' voice? Psychology professor Anthony DeCasper designed an experiment to find it out. He placed padded earphones over a newborn's ears and gave him a bottle nipple(奶嘴) attached to a closed rubber tube Changes in pressure in the tube switched channels on a tape recorder. If the baby paused extra long between bursts of sucking(吮吸) he heard one channel; if he paused shorter than average, he heard the other. The baby now had the ability, in effect, to change.
DeCasper found that newborns choose the recording of their mothers' voice over that of another woman's. The baby, however, has no innate(天生的) interest in his father's voice, which is heard in the womb(子宫) only: from time to time, while the mother’s voice is ever present. Within two weeks after birth, however, the baby can recognize Dad’s voice,too.
A newborn is even attuned (调和)to the rhythm of his native language. In a French study using a setup similar to DeCasper's, French babies given the choice between French and Russian words responded more to the sound of French.
Brian Satt, a research specialist in clinical psychology, has parents sing a lullaby-like 'womb song' to their babies. The unborn baby often develops a specific, consistent movement pattern when its song is sung. According to Satt, most parents can calm a fussy newborn with the song most of the time, which is a prize worth more than rubies to a new parent.
He is woken up by a heavy jolt (颠簸):His mother has fallen heavily on one hip. He is much too well cushioned (缓冲) to experience any injury, but her pain and the fear that she may have hurt him floods both their bodies with stress-related hormones. He cries and kicks vigorously, a cry never heard because there is no air to make sound. As she recovers, the stress hormones fade away, and he calms down, too.
【1】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A.is unable to identify his mother's lullaby after birth

【3】It is known from the passage that _______.
A.mother's stress, anger or shock might not hurt the unborn baby in the womb
B.an unborn baby’s cry might never be heard because of the condition of the womb
C.lullabies are always useful in calming a fussy newborn
D.an unborn baby has to kick violently and repeatedly in the womb
【4】The author believes that the reaction of an unborn baby to his mother's voice _______.
A.belongs to one of the natural tendencies some animals also have
B.is an indication which shows an unborn baby can use all his senses after birth
C.is a physiological reaction of human beings
