21、If you struggle to fall asleep quickly, you’re not alone! Fortunately, there are plenty of solutions you can try. With a few changes, you can fall asleep fast every night!
Keep your room dark. Turn off all the lights above your head when you go to bed. Any bright light can make you believe it is too early in the day for sleep. If you want to read or write before bed, try using a small book light. Now that blue lights can keep you awake, red ones are a great choice.
If you can, keep noise in and around your room the lowest at night. If you have an old clock that ticks loudly and keeps you awake, replace it with a silent one. If you share your home with anyone else, request that they keep noises like talking, music, or TV shows at the lowest while you are trying to sleep. It is difficult to fall asleep if you live near a busy road or hear other boring sounds after bedtime. You could get a white noise machine or play recordings of nature sounds, like waves or whales’ singing. You could also listen to soft, relaxing music.
Read a book in bed if you have difficulty in falling asleep. Staying in bed doing nothing when you’re having trouble falling asleep may keep you wide awake. While reading in bed may be slightly harmful to your eyes, it can distract (分散) you from your thoughts and help you feel sleepy. But remember to read from a print book rather than something with a screen. The light from electronic screens can keep you awake.
Lowering your body temperature helps you sleep, so set the room temperature between 15.5℃-21℃ could do the trick.
【1】What color book light should you choose to read before bed?
A．Red.
B．Blue.
C．White.
D．Orange.
【2】What is the author’s attitude towards reading in bed?
A．Doubtful.
B．Worried.
C．Favorable.
D．Uncaring.
【3】What can we inferred from the text?
A．Reading on cellphones sometimes helps you fall asleep.
B．The lower your temperature while sleeping is, the better.
C．Bright lights are better for your reading before going to bed.
D．Playing recordings like birds’ singing can improve your sleep.
【4】How does the author organize the text?
A．By giving examples.
B．By asking questions.
C．By offering suggestions.
D．By listing research results.
22、With the popularity of the Internet in recent years, major webcast platforms are in full swing, especially in this special period, many people are staying at home, crazy to engage in webcast. We should treat this problem in a dialectical way of thinking. Everything that is beneficial will have disadvantages. Today, with the rapid development of the Internet economy, “webcast” has become a means of information spreading. Today, with the popularity of webcast, we should comprehensively analyze its advantages and disadvantages.
“Webcast” has become a hot word, and even derived a series of new industries and new occupations, effectively promoting the development of social economy and the diversification of business forms. For example, in the stage of resumption of work and production after the epidemic was effectively controlled, the live broadcast of network anchors promoted the rapid growth of some regional economies to a certain extent. For example, CCTV invited live broadcast talents such as Li Jiaqi and Weiya to combine with stars to carry out live broadcast in Wuhan and other areas with serious epidemic, which effectively and rapidly promoted the economic development of Wuhan at that time. At the same time, educational live broadcasting can make up for the gap between education in backward areas and advanced areas to a certain extent, give children equal opportunities to learn, promote the national plan of educational equity, and let more children see the outside world.
But webcast also brings many problems. First, the quality of live broadcast goods is uneven. Many live broadcasters push and sell the goods in a template manner without detailed understanding. After customers receive the goods, the goods are not the right board. Because of logistics express fees and other reasons, they are also too lazy to argue, resulting in a gradual decline in public praise. Second, while bringing joy and economic growth, the live broadcast of online celebrity has made the social atmosphere more impetuous. The children’s ideal has become “I want to be an online celebrity”, thinking that there is food by one face. These dregs need to be abandoned. Third, the supervision of webcast is not strict, and vulgar information often appears, which brings bad social atmosphere.
To this end, we should first strengthen the supervision of webcast from the institutional level, especially the examination and approval of live broadcast content, standardize all live broadcast platforms, increase punishment, curb the bad live broadcast atmosphere from the source, and set up relevant vocational skills training according to the situation; Secondly, all broadcasters should effectively choose the live broadcast content, conform to the mainstream social value orientation, ensure the quality and level of live broadcast, and gradually get out of the mindset of echoing others; Finally, all public opinion media should create a positive and sunny attitude at the social level, treat the new thing of “live broadcasting” correctly, and guide public opinion to the right track.
【1】What does the second paragraph say about webcast?
A．Webcast can promote regional economic development and narrow the gap between urban and rural areas.
B．Webcast allows more children in cities to see the outside world.
C．The goods sold by webcast are of poor quality.
D．We should adhere to the correct guidance of public opinion when dealing with live broadcasting
【2】What are the disadvantages of webcast mentioned in the article?
A．Cause network congestion.
B．Endanger national security.
C．Bring bad social atmosphere.
D．Cause death of people.
【3】What is the meaning of the underlined words in the third paragraph of the article?
A．shabby
B．common
C．foolish
D．silly
【4】What is the purpose of the author’s writing the first paragraph?
A．Challenge
B．Attract reading interest
C．Make a summary
D．Come to the point
23、When we moved into our home in Maui, Hawaii, 16 years ago, one good thing about this house was the huge avocado tree growing in the backyard.
This tree gave the most delicious avocados I have ever tasted. I lived on these avocados when nursing my first child. Fresh avocado was the very first food for my kids. This tree was so huge that it cast a massive shadow over our backyard. It was truly our magical tree.
Until one day, someone from the Health Department came to tell us that our avocado tree was too large and needed trimming. In New York, you get in trouble if you don’t clear the snow off your sidewalk. Here, it’s when your trees are too high. So along came the trimmer, leaving just the trunk and a few branches. I was sad. The kids were all sad. Some friends who knew it would say, “It’s going to grow back. Your next avocados will be crazy!” Yeah, whatever. The tree is gone, so stop doing that. It just didn’t work.
But a few days later, I noticed some unusual butterflies flying around the yard. And then, the sun came in the kitchen, creating this pleasant warmth once blocked by the huge tree. After about a month, I started to notice some tiny green shoots coming out of the cut branches, which eventually turned into full-on bright green leaves.
I started to feel like all was going to be fine, kind of like life. Little do we know what seems really difficult is actually life’s way of making us stronger. It’s life’s way of bringing in the butterflies, the sunshine, and the delightful flowers. We all know that saying, “It will be OK in the end. If it’s not, it’s not the end.”

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。
The buzzing cellphone threw Mike out of bed. Blue Monday again! He parted the curtain and grey skies greeted him. This worsened his mood. But a sweet smile spread over his face when he saw Helen sleeping soundly like a Snow White.
Opening the door gently, Mike walked outside and into the kitchen. It was a routine for him to cook breakfast early, for both he and his wife, Helen, were high school English teachers. Although they were already 52 years old, they always attended the first period starting at 7:30 on time, rain or shine. We can call them “empty nesters”, with their two kids Catherine and Amanda in key universities in Yorkshire. Two bottles of hot milk, two boiled eggs and pieces of bread were their calories. Then Mike awoke Helen, who was a great beauty even compared with the Helen in the Trojan War.
They finished their breakfast quickly before going downstairs to their car. With a turn of the key, the engine roared to life. It was shaking a little, as if feeling cold. The drive from home to school took roughly 30 minutes and Mike was driving fast, for there was little traffic. “Beautiful stars, huh?” Mike said. “Yeah. When we arc off work, beautiful stars will swim in front of eyes!” Helen replied jokingly. Teaching so many students was indeed a back-breaking job, especially for teachers of advanced years.
They arrived at the already crowded parking lot in the school. Finding a place to squeeze the car in, Mike was going when Helen reminded him that today was her birthday. “Oh, dear, I forgot it! I will make up with a big dinner,” Mike said apologetically and warmly. When she heard this, Helen’s face lit up and blossomed into a big smile.
