21、My son was entering Grade 1. He was a bit nervous because he knew his best friend would not be in his new class. I explained to him that even though his best friend would not be in his class, he would still have some of his old classmates. On the first day of school when the class list was posted, I was shocked! My son had zero former classmates in his class. None. Not one.
How could this happen?
I asked my friend who works with the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board. She explained, “Many largely populated schools often shuffle(弄混)the kids around each year to encourage new friendships.”
If schools are actively trying to place two best friends in different classes simply to shake things up, think it is a blunder.
I was lucky enough to attend the same primary school all the way through. It was a small class and our group of students moved through each grade together, We felt like brothers and sisters. It was wonderful.
While it may be good to shake things up a bit in the older grades, it seems almost cruel(残忍的) to separate good friends in the younger grades without good cause. One mom named Karen says that her son is always starting a new grade without any close friends. At first, she thought it was a good idea. Then she realized one thing---her son does not have a “best friend,” which makes her pretty worried. In fact, she thinks that he does not have any close friends because his classmates are always changing.
Part of a school’s responsibility is to provide a safe and comfortable space for children to learn and grow. If that environment is always changing---causing terrible results---perhaps it is time to rethink this practice.

22、You may feel like you have a lot of casual friends or acquaintances (熟人) but no one is close. You’re not alone. Not having any close friends is surprisingly common, especially in your youth. 【1】
You might feel nervous meeting new people. It’s totally natural for lots of us to feel that way. 【2】 So try to focus on the other person instead of yourself. The more you practice meeting new people and forming connections, the easier it will get.
You may push people away instead of getting close to them. 【3】 If you have a few friends but you wouldn’t necessarily consider them close ones, you might be holding yourself back a bit. There are lots of reasons why you might be doing this, either on purpose or subconsciously, so try to give yourself permission to let people see the real you.
You might not make enough time for them. 【4】 They can disappear if you accidentally forget about them. Everyone’s busy, so don’t worry too much if you forget for a week or two, but try your best to talk to your friends often. Even if you can’t hang out with them in person all the time, just sending them a text or calling them can be enough to keep up that relationship.
【5】 When you make plans, stick to them, and let your friends trust you. Close friendships happen when people can have faith in each other, so you want to be the best friend that you can be. Do your best to stick to your words, and keep up with the plans that you make with your pals. Over time, you’ll grow closer because they know they can trust you.
A．You could be a little unreliable.
B．You might enter new phases of life.

E．Sometimes we hold people at arm’s length accidentally.
F．Good friendships will get much closer if you keep in contact.
G．Probably it will become a little easier for you to keep up with all of them.
23、Watching a specific deep red light for just three minutes once a week, when delivered in the morning, may significantly improve the eyesight, according to a new study by researchers at University College London. The findings show that red light might be a cheap and easy treatment for older people suffering from poor vision.
Last year, researchers from University College London did a study on red light therapy(疗法). 24 healthy volunteers, aged between 28 and 72, were asked to look at red light for three minutes every day for two weeks. Tests later found that the eyesight of people over the age of 40 improved.
To test the possible weak points of their therapy, they did a new study this year. Instead of using the light every day, they used it once a week. The new study included 20 volunteers, aged between 34 and 70, all with healthy vision. Some received red light therapy in the morning, and others received it in the afternoon. They were then tested on their color vision up to a week later. On the whole, those who got the treatment in the morning showed a 17% improvement in their color vision, even a week later. Those who got the treatment in the afternoon did not have any improvement.
The findings do support their earlier work, and they might make the treatment more practicable, since a once-weekly treatment is easier to stick to than a daily one. But the team’s promising results are still drawn on limited numbers of healthy volunteers. Larger studies would be needed to show the benefits of red light therapy.
“In the near future, a once-a-week three-minute exposure to deep red light could be done while making a coffee or listening to a song, and such a simple thing could change eye care and vision around the world,” Jeffrey said. Given its low cost (as little as $15) per device, and simplicity, Jeffrey and the team is excited about the future of their therapy.
【1】What do we know about the study from paragraph 2 and 3?
A．24 healthy old people took part in the study.
B．All the volunteers had better eyesight after the study.
C．The therapy was more effective when used once a week.
D．The time of day for treatment was vital in the new study.
【2】What makes it necessary to improve the study?
A．The age of the volunteers.
B．The number of the volunteers.
C．The poor vision of the volunteers.
D．The health condition of the volunteers.
【3】What is the team’s attitude to the future of red light therapy?
A．Optimistic.
B．Critical.
C．Ambiguous.
D．Conservative.
【4】What is the purpose of this text?
A．To state the importance of eye care.
B．To explain the value of deep red light.
C．To encourage people to protect their eyes.
D．To introduce a way to fight vision decline.
24、More and more parents are willing to send their children abroad to study.
