23、Carol Heffernan, a 43-year-old woman from Oshkosh,regularly felt worn out from working, sending her two kids to school and playdates, and taking care of housework. But after the COVID-19 hit in March 2020, the kids were suddenly at home all day and learning remotely, her common weariness quickly turned into full-on exhaustion.
“It just added up all the extra responsibility and the mental load,” she says. “I felt bad-tempered and tired, and it wasn’t due to lack of sleep.” If there’s one thing many of us have in common, it’s that we’re tired. Doctors even have a name for it, “tired all the time”, or TATT for short. The solution isn’t always as simple as getting more sleep. Nearly a quarter of people who get seven or more hours of rest a night report that they still wake up feeling tired most days.
A few weeks after her tiredness set in, Heffernan decided to drop everything and go for a walk, which she hadn't done since the pandemic began. “I just want to be myself,” she says. “I need a break.” When she returned, she felt recharged and decided to make a habit of it.
Doing something active when you’re feeling sluggish will actually increase your energy, not consuming the little energy that you have. In fact, researchers at Georgia University found that just ten minutes of low or moderate intensity exercise gave study participants a no-ticeable energy boost. Exercise also works its magic at the cellular level. The mitochondria, the parts of ell that provide energy to muscles, can grow more powerful and numerous after aerobic exercise, providing a continuous source of increasing energy to help you work hard.
Now, Heffernan goes for a daily 45-minute stroll. “The walks feed me spiritually, emo-tionally and physically,” she says. “I have something to look forward to every afternoon. I’m in a better mood and I’m also energetic. Of course, getting more exercise isn’t the only defense against TATT syndrome.”
【1】What was wrong with Heffernan after the COVID-19 hit?
A．She lacked enough sleep.
B．She felt tired all the time.
C．She always woke up at night.
D．She suffered from CoVID-19.
【2】What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Heffernan?
A．Her hobby and habit.
B．Her regret and sadness.
C．Her tiredness and helplessness.
D．Her determination and action.
【3】What does the underlined word “sluggish” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Lazy.
B．Warm.
C．Refreshed.
D．Energetic.
【4】How does Heffernan feel about her life now?
A．Puzzled.
B．Curious.
C．Optimistic.
D．Concerned.
24、Don’t you have time for reading? If you are interested in non-fiction books, here are some good choices for you.
A Room of One’s Own
This essay by English writer Virginia Woolf is based on several lectures given to two women’s colleges at Cambridge University in 1928. In the essay, Woolf describes that it’s circumstance not talent alone, that allows men to be more successful at writing. Women, in other words, spend so much time cooking, cleaning, and tending to their children that they have no time left for art. To write well, therefore, a woman must have a “room of her own”. While on its surface, this essay appears to be only about writing, it is actually about wealth and class, freedom and confinement, and the power struggle between sexes.
The Art of War
Written by ancient Chinese warrior Sun Tzu, The Art of War is widely considered to be one of the best books about military strategies in human history. Consisting of 13 chapters, each dealing with a separate aspect about how to fight a war, the book has been translated into every major language and has thousands of editions. For centuries, it has been used to train world leaders for its detailed study of military strategies and effective leadership.
Letter to My Daughter
This book of essays by Maya Angelou, a respectable African-American poet, is written for “the daughter she never had” — the millions of women, both young and old, that she considers to be her “family”. From the viewpoint of a caring, older relative, this book contains lessons selected from her own life experiences, including the birth of her only child, a son, as well as the development and loss of friendship.
A Brief History of Time
If you’re short of time, then why not read about, well, the creation of time? This book, first published in 1998 from brilliant scientist and mathematician Stephen Hawking, explores mind-bending questions about the creation of the universe, including if and when it will end, and if so, how. Despite its heavy subject matter, Hawking addresses these questions in a way that’s easy to understand, even for those who know little about physics.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Jenny was the only child in her family. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn't help weeping（哭泣） sorrowfully（悲伤地） when she thought of the scolding（责骂） from her mother. Having wandered（游荡） aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand（货摊） for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh（叹气） and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes, but I don't have money on me,” she replied.
“That's nothing. I'll treat you today,” said the man “Come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, the smell so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing. Actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped（擦拭） her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless（无情的） compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude（感激） to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb（麻木的） with shock; she remembered her mother's familiar face and weathered （变形）hands. “Why didn't I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted（感激的）. Why haven't I thanked my mum for what she has done for me?” On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
