21、 A writing club is a group consisting of writers who meet together to share and comment on manuscripts (手稿). People who write stories, poetry, or even non-fiction articles can join a writing club. 【1】 But the usual site is in a library, bookstore, private home, or a school.
【2】 Joining a club allows writers to understand the challenges of being a writer. And members of a writing club can receive constructive criticism (评论) from their fellow writers so that they can learn how to make their articles stronger. Moreover, commenting on other writers' manuscripts allows them to see what makes a writing piece interesting or boring.
If a writer wants to become a member of a writing club, he can find one by contacting the public library or a local university. Many writing groups will advertise for new members in local newspapers as well. 【3】
But sometimes, no matter how a writer has tried, he may still experience extreme difficulties finding a writing group to join or finding a writing group suitable for him. 【4】 He only needs to advertise for desired members by posting online, placing an ad in local newspapers, etc.
For many writers, the journey of writing is demanding. For example, writing can be troubled by lack of inspiration. 【5】 So joining a group of writers can be the ideal way a writer can improve his writing skills and assist others with their manuscripts.
A．And writing can be a lonely task.
B．There are many benefits of joining a writing club.
C．Members of a writing club should know each other.

22、Learning to look after our minds and our bodies can help keep us healthy and happy for much longer. But it isn't always easy, especially with jobs, school and responsibilities.
Fortunately, there are millions of little ways that are easy and effective.
【1】 Schedule hangouts or phone calls with your loved ones. You can stay updated on each other's lives and rely on one another for support in times of need. Connecting with others is a great way to lift your mood and improve your mental health.
Talk about your feelings. 【2】 If you have close friends or family members, reach out to them and tell them how you're feeling. If you don't feel comfortable doing that, consider talking to a mental health professional instead. Talking through terrible feelings can help you process them faster than if you keep them inside.
Stepping out into nature can lower your stress levels. When you have a break from work or school, try going for a walk in the nearby parks. On the weekends, hit up a hiking route or a local swimming spot. 【3】
A little self-care can rally improve your mood. Pick out something that makes you happy. It could be art, reading, listening to music, or playing with a pet. 【4】 Carving out some time every day for yourself is a great way to relax and take care of your mental health.

23、You run into the grocery store to quickly pick up your item. You grab what you need and head to the front of the store. After quickly sizing up the check-out lines, you choose the one that looks fastest. You chose wrong. People getting in other lines long after you have already checked out and headed to the parking lot. Why does this seem to always happen to you?
Well, as it turns out, it's just math that is working against you. A grocery store tries to have enough employees at the checkout lines to get all their customers through with minimum delay. But sometimes, like on a Sunday afternoon, they get super busy. Because most grocery stores don't have the physical space to add more checkout lines, their system becomes overburdened. Some small interruption — a price check, a particularly talkative customer — will have downstream effects, holding up the entire line behind them.
If there are three lines at the store, these delays will happen randomly at different registers (收银台). Think about the probability. The chances of your line being that fastest one are only one in three, which means you have a two-thirds chance of not being in the fastest line. So it's not just in your mind: Another line is probably moving faster than yours.
Now, mathematicians have come up with a good solution, which they call queuing theory, to this problem: Just make all customers stand in one long snaking line, called a serpentine line, and serve each person at the front with the next available register. With three registers, this method is about three times faster on average than the more traditional approach. This is what they do at most banks, Trader Joe's, and some fast-food places. With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register won't unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow everyone down a little bit.
【1】What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?
A．Queuing in a line.
B．A shopping experience.
C．A rush in the morning.
D．Cutting in a line.
【2】According to the article, what may cause delays in checking out?
A．The lack of employees in the grocery store.
B．Some unexpected delays of certain customers.
C．The increasing items bought by customers.
D．A worsening shopping system of the store.
【3】What is the solution given by mathematicians?
A．Employing more workers for checking out.
B．Limiting the number of queuing people.
C．Making only one line available.
D．Always standing in the same line.
【4】What's the principle behind the queuing theory?
A．To pursue the maximum benefit.
B．To leave success or failure to luck.
C．To avoid the minimum loss.
D．To spread the risk equally among everyone.
24、Junior Alvarado, a high school student in the Washington Leadership Academy, often struggled in his math classes and earned poor grades. The teachers at the Washington Leadership Academy used computer programs to identify the areas he was weak in and design a learning plan just for him.
“They explain the problem step by step. It wouldn’t be as fast, but at your speed,” said the 15-year-old. “Now I feel better about my maths skills.”
The application of technology in schools is part of a larger idea of personalised learning. This idea has been gaining in popularity in recent years. Personalised learning is a way of teaching centring around the interests and needs of individual (单独的) students instead of entire classes as a whole. It includes flexible (灵活的) learning environments and specially-designed education plans. Students can decide what and how they learn. That way, they are able to master subjects at their own speed.
Joseph Webb, headmaster of the Washington Leadership Academy, says the digital tools help teachers identify problems students are facing before they become too serious. “We can solve them right then and there; we don’t have to wait for the problem to come to us,” he said.
Still, many researchers say it is too early to tell if personalised learning works better than traditional teaching. A recent study found that personalised learning only led to small improvements. It found only a 3% improvement in math and even smaller improvements in reading compared to traditional teaching methods. In addition, experts in children’s health warn that the overuse of technology can damage face-to-face relationships and young people’s interest in physical activity.
Some teachers have their doubts as well. Marla Kilfoyle, a teacher in a public high school, admits that technology can be helpful in the classroom in many ways. But she argues that no computer program should ever replace the personal touch, support and inspiration (启发) teachers give their students.
【1】Why does the author mention the example of Junior Alvarado?
A．To encourage schools to use technology.
B．To introduce the idea of personalised learning.
C．To advise students to try a new way of learning.
D．To draw the teacher’s attention to the weak students.
【2】What does personalised learning mean?
A．Students learn on their own.
B．Students can do whatever they like.
C．Students learn at their own pace.
D．Students learn with a teacher face to face.
【3】What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．The digital tools.
B．The learning problems.
C．Students.
D．Teachers.
【4】What can we learn from the text?
A．Only a few teachers prefer personalised learning.
B．Personalised learning is a failed attempt to help slow learners.
C．Computer programs are likely to replace the role of teachers.
D．Experts are worried about the overuse of technology.
