【2】 The environmental problems have become constant headaches in the development of those cities. Encouraging garbage classification has become an effective way.
In some cities, a variety of multifunctional smart garbage cans are being put into use. In Beijing, for example, a smart garbage can is equipped with an LED screen, which not only shows national policies on garbage classification but also shows the correct steps for garbage sorting. It can also calculate the weight of the garbage and the accumulated points one can get. They can be traded for some articles of daily use. 【3】 Its body is actually a screen. It is equipped with some Internal sensors. When people throw garbage into it, the internal sensors can automatically tell the types of the garbage. Meanwhile, people can see how to deal with them. 【4】
Garbage disposal is a small issue that involves everybody each day. However, it is also a big issue.【5】 With smart garbage cans in our daily life, the idea of garbage sorting will become more established.

22、Many curious children have lately asked “How do glasses help you see?” Actually, they asked this at a very good time because more and more people are needing to wear glasses and we don’t really know why.
Our eyes let us see because light enters each eye, and the eye then creates a message that goes to the brain. The eyeball itself doesn’t actually “see”—the brain sees. The eyeballs just take pictures, like two little cameras. To see properly, each eyeball needs to send the light that enters it into a very exact spot inside the eyeball, called the retina(视网膜). If the light falls onto the incorrect place, everything goes wrong.
Many people won’t need glasses and can see just fine. This is because their eyeballs are focusing light properly onto the retina. However, some people have eyeballs that are too long. They are called “shortsighted”. For these people, things far away can look blurry(模糊的). Other people have eyeballs that are too short. They are called “farsighted” and things close to them can look blurry. Both shortsighted and farsighted people need glasses to help them see clearly. They work by helping the eyeball to focus light onto the correct place, the retina. Only then can we see clearly.
Maybe you have a grandma or grandpa who wears whenever they are reading books or using their mobile phone. When people get older, they usually become a little bit farsighted because a part of their eye called the lens becomes stiff and doesn’t work properly.
More and more young people in the world are needing to wear glasses. we’re not sure why, but some scientists think that children who spend too much time inside are more likely to need glasses. Children who need glasses but don’t wear them don’t do as well as in school. Once you need glasses, you usually need them forever—your eyes won’t go back to normal on their own.
I hope that one day we can find out why people’s eyeballs become too long or too short and then we can stop people needing to wear glasses in the first place. Then people will never lose or forget their glasses ever again!

23、The Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place
Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential（潜力）of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically. Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically.
On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤) instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.
On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.
The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.
Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.
【1】From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________.
A.diet products fail to bring out people’s potential
B.people have difficulty in choosing diet products
C.diet products are misleading people
D.people are fed up with diet products
【2】In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means _______.
A.losing weight is effortless B.it costs a lot to lose weight
C.diet products bring no pain D.diet products are free from calories
【3】Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products .
A.are over-consumed B.lack basic nutrients
C.are short of chemicals D.provide too much energy
【4】Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
Notes: CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion

24、 Choice of seating in the lecture hall can affect a college student's performance, a study suggests. Researchers from Sheffield Hallam University in the UK examined students’ reasons for choosing particular seats in a lecture hall and investigated how seating positions are connected with student performance.
Many students preferred being able to sit with their friends, while others were more concerned with either attracting or avoiding the lecturer's attention. Some students chose seats that allowed them to see and hear clearly, while others picked seats that made them feel less anxious, researchers said. Friendship groups who sat together tended to achieve similar grades, and students who sat alone at the edges tended to do worse than average.
Some professors have observed that the front row remains prime sitting position typically held by outgoing scholarly students and the more prepared and personable students sit in front rows. Students in the front almost always score higher on exams. According to a study published in 2013, GPAs decreased by 0.1 point on a four-point scale for every row further back students sit.
Still, some students prefer the middle rows, which may be one of the worst decisions a student can make. In a classroom setting, a speaker's eyes tend to go to the front of the room and the back. They don't look at the centre of a room as often or with the same amount of attention.
If neither the front nor middle is suitable for a student, there can only be one other solution: the back, where many distractions occur without teachers knowing about it.
Row placement is not the only critical decision students face when choosing a seat. The position of the seat within the row is equally important. Like being on an airplane or at church, the aisle(过道) usually gets taken first as it provides the most legroom and easiest escape route when students decide to duck out of class.
Students who are late the first day usually end up with middle seats, so punctuality is a good strategy for those seeking the aisle.
【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A.Students' seat preferences vary.
B.Most seats make students anxious.
C.Average students choose to sit alone.
D.Friendship contributes to bad grades.
【2】Which position of the following is the favorite of students active in study?
A.
B.
C.
D.
【3】What does the underlined phrase "duck out of" in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A.Apply for. B.Put off. C.Keep up with. D.Drop out of.
25、 Do you ever feel like you are studying a mad rush of one subject after another? When things happen at such a _________ pace, it is easy to lose sight of what you are learning. It is important to _________ every now and then to think about what you've been learning.
Self-reflection means stopping the mad rush and _________ yourself so your brain can evaluate what it has already _________. Some people prefer to do their self-reflections mentally, while others keep a journal. Either method can work, depending on what your own personal _________ is.
School textbooks are often divided into units. This can make it _________ for someone to begin the process of self-reflection. Watch for the times when you complete a unit of study. Sometimes you are reminded that the unit is _________ because there is some kind of test or quiz. Use these natural _________ as opportunities to stop and reflect.
You should find a _________ place—anywhere without noise is OK. This can even be sitting at your desk at school when you finish something __________ and the other students are still working. If you are going to take notes, take out your journal. Write down some notes on things that you newly learned in this unit. Let your mind think about the notes you have written and make some __________.
Sometimes just pausing to think deeply allows your brain to make connections so that new information can quickly appear when you __________ it again. Next, think about things that you still wonder about. For example maybe you learned about a certain body system, but you don't __________ how it works with the other body systems. Maybe you learned a new way to solve a math problem, but you're not sure when to use it. Writing down your __________ will help you remember to continue seeking answers the next time you __________ the same topic.
