22、 “Selfie”, taking a picture of yourself to post on social media, became an official word in the Oxford dictionary in 2013. The idea seems simple, just pose and snap a photo of yourself with your cell phone camera. How difficult could that be?
But in 2014 a reported 15 people died while taking selfies. That number has risen each. year since then. Thirty-nine deaths connected to selfies were reported in 2015. And, this year has seen more than 70 such deaths.
Researchers from universities in the US and India have released findings from the first study of deaths due to selfies. The investigators examined the causes and characteristics of the deaths.
The researchers found that people who take selfies for sharing on social media often have a narcissistic tendency. The report says these people “use selfies as a form ‘of self-identification and expression”. They may take selfies in more dangerous settings because they seek greater attention. These dangerous situations can lead to injury, and even death. The researchers define a selfie death as “death of an individual or a group of people that could have been avoided had the individual(s) not been taking a selfie.”
One example of a dangerous selfie in the study involved bicycle races. People sometimes get on the track to take a picture of themselves with the racing bicycles behind them. Crashes and injuries have resulted. Another example described people standing on train tracks trying to get a selfie’ as a train moves toward them from behind. The most common cause of selfie death was falling from high places. It caused 32 of the 172 deaths during the last two and a half years. Drowning was another common cause of death.
And it might be more dangerous to be a man with a smartphone. Although women take more selfies, males were far more likely to die during selfies.75.5% of the reported deaths were of mien. About one-third of the 172 reported selfie deaths had a single death while 24 incidents involved the deaths of groups. Two of the incidents killed seven people each.

23、 My family loves the Golden Rule. But in all our years of treating others as we want to be treated, I have learned that this famous motto is a failure. That’s especially true in my family’s choice of food.
My family of two parents and three daughters eats together only on birthdays, and even then, only at dinner. The other 1,090 meals of the year are eaten around different schedules. Even though our lives are totally a mess, for the five important meals each year, we eat as a family.
When we were younger, my mother would prepare a delicious feast with the birthday girl (or birthday father) who was the guest of honor that day. Later, as my sisters and I were allowed to use the cookers, we made birthday meals for our parents.
My parents prepare Indian food for our birthdays. They cook special party foods: tiki, samosa and sweets that would make any dentist worried. Being from northern India, they also make southern food that we rarely taste: bland idly, spicy samber and much more. This is the food they love best, and to show love, they make for us what they enjoy. Yet this is not the food my sisters and I would choose.
For our parents’ birthdays, my sisters and I cook European foods: Finnish summer soup, German apple cake, Norwegian flat-bread and so on.
Although my parents appreciate the food, we know this is not the food that they care for. My mother tries to cover her criticisms (批评) in praise, saying, “The soup is delicious，but it has very little flavor (味道).” My father refuses to eat pie, wondering what makes Europeans eat cooked fruit and raw vegetables.
Despite different desires and tastes, we put the least bitter flavor into everything we cook according to the rule of treating others as we want to be treated.
【1】When does the family eat together?

B.She would tell her daughters what she loved directly.
C.She would bring forward her opinions in a polite way.
D.She would suggest raw vegetables instead of cooked fruit.
【4】What does the author want to tell us in the text?

B.Everyone has his own desire and taste.
C.Kids should be grateful to their parents.
D.Treat others according to their true preference.
24、Writing journals has been one of the most helpful things I’ve ever done. Through writing journals I’ve not only learned a lot about myself, but also removed a lot of obsessive (烦恼的) thoughts, by writing them down and considering them.
Journals give you a place to write down your honest thoughts without being afraid of what people will think of you. There are some ideas for writing journals:
Draw pictures
Write poetry or short stories
Goals: daily and long-term
Respond to a magazine article that you are interested in
Write about obsessive thoughts and try to find what’s causing them
A list of things you are proud of (It can always increase your confidence when you need it)
Make a pro/con (赞成/反对) list when you’re trying to make a decision: most of the time the decision will start to be clearer afterwards
The best way to start is to decide where you want to write your journal. (Though it’s called the journal, it doesn’t mean you can only do it in a “journal”) . If you like the traditional style of journals, then use a notebook, blank paper or graph paper, whichever you like best. If you prefer to go digital, start a blog. You can make the blog public or private, and it’s a good way to keep track of articles or pictures you find online. (You can link to them.)
Even if you feel there’s nothing for you to write about at first, you might be surprised to find that once you start, you can’t stop.
【1】What does writing journals help the author do?
A. Make many friends.
B. Do many helpful things.
C. Be free from some worries.
D. Learn a lot about other people.
【2】Why is making a pro/con list useful?
A. It increases your confidence.
B. It helps you get what you want.
C. It helps you make great progress.
D. It helps you decide what to do.
【3】 What do you think about writing journals as a beginner?
A. You have little to write.
B. Writing journals is fun.
C. You’re good at writing.
D. It’s hard to keep track of articles.

26、”阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为120左右。
My fiance(未婚夫）and I were excited about shopping for our first home.But our funds were limited,and none of the houses in our price range seemed satisfactory.
One agent recommended a house in particular..Although her description sounded wonderful,the price was beyond our range,so we declined.But she kept urging us to have a look at least.
We finally did and it was love at first sight:It was Our Home,small and charming, overlooking a quiet lake.Walking through the rooms and talking with the owners,a nice elderly couple,we felt the warmth and happiness of the marriage within that home.As perfect as it was,the price remained too high for us.But every day,we would sit by the lake, looking at the house and dreaming of what it would be like to live there.
Days later,we made a(n)offer-far below the asking price.Surprisingly,they didn't laugh at us.They renewed their offer instead.It was also much more than we could afford,but far less than the original asking price.
The next day,we got a disappointing message that another buyer had offered a much higher price.Even so,we decided to talk with the owners directly.We made our final offer, which still was thousands of dollars 'less than' the other buyer's bid.We knew it,but we had to try.Nobody knew if we could get it.
Paragraph 1:We went to the owners' home after we made our final offer.The other buyer came to visit the owners too.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:The owner looked at us and said,"I want to sell my house to you!"
