21、 Camping is a great way to enjoy nature. You can breathe fresh air, cook over a campfire and sleep under the stars. However, camping also means various troubles, including dealing with bugs, bad weather and few, if any, toilets. 【1】But there is a way to enjoy the natural world without giving up the comforts at home. It’s called glamping, and interest in it has been growing since 2007!
Glamping, made up by joining the words glamorous(有魅力的) and camping, is a new word. 【2】Since around 600 B.C. Nomadic Mongolians have enjoyed the benefits of glamping. Their tents were so comfortable that they inspired the design of modern glamping tents!
There are many reasons why you should consider glamping for your next vacation. One of them is that glamping gives you access to some beautiful places. 【3】Nowadays, glamping can be less expensive than staying in a hotel, but you can still enjoy the modern comforts of a hotel!
【4】Glampsites often use eco-friendly materials and avoid using much plastic. So, there is less waste, and the area stays beautiful.
No matter what kind of experience you’re looking for, a glampsite exists for you. From Three Camel Lodge in Mongolia to Clayoquot Wilderness Resort in Canada, adventure is waiting for you. Sites can include a spa, a swimming pool and dinner under the stars. Activities can include exploring on horseback or camel and sightings of elephants, mountain sheep or tigers. 【5】
A.Every year a large number of people go camping.
B.You don’t have to give up beauty for comfort!
C.A wide variety of glamping experiences are available all over the world.
D.These troubles can discourage people from ever trying camping.
E.But it describes an activity that people have been doing for ages.
F.You can also help other campers.
G.Another reason to go glamping is that it’s good for the environment.
22、Life is so much shorter than you think. The average person in the United States lives only 27, 375 days.【1】 To have a quality life, you have to let go of those people who steal the happiness from you, and surround yourself with those who make you laugh and happy. Here are four harmful types of people you should avoid in life.
Those who deny your dream.
If you are surrounded by people who deny your dream or make fun of it because they think it’s unachievable, it is not good. 【2】 You should avoid them and instead surround yourself with people who believe in your dream and support you.
Those who push their own ideas.
There are a lot of selfish people who act as if everything they say is right, and try to deny what you say. No matter how much you explain, those who deny your ideas and push their own ideas to you will never understand. So it’s completely a waste of time, and just leave away. 【3】
Those who only think about themselves.
Selfish people are harmful in your life. They basically only care about their own happiness and joy, so they usually treat you badly because they are too selfish to care about how you feel. 【4】 Therefore, stay with those people who can understand you. If you have people who share your happiness and pain as if it were theirs, never let them go.
【5】
Don’t you have those people around you who speak negatively, who believe negatively and who tell you their negative ideas. They are alone, living in a sad and negative world so they are trying to bring you into their world, by making you believe that life is full of sadness and unhappiness.

23、As Amy Hagadorn rounded the corner across the hall from her classroom, she crashed with a tall boy from the fifth grade running in the opposite direction．
“Watch it, Squirt,” the boy yelled, as he dodged around the little third grader. Then, with an unfriendly smile on his face, the boy took hold of his right leg and mimicked the way Amy limped（跛行）when she walked．
Amy closed her eyes for a moment. ―Ignore him, she told herself as she headed for her classroom．
But at the end of the day, Amy was still thinking about the tall boy’s mean teasing． It wasn’t as if he were the only one． Amy was tired of it． Sometimes, even in a classroom full of other students, the teasing about her speech or her limping made her feel all alone．
Back home at the dinner table that evening Amy was quiet． That’s why Patti Hagdorn was happy to have some exciting news to share with her daughter．
“There’s a Christmas Wish Contest on the radio station,” she announced. “Write a letter to Santa and you might win a prize. I think someone at this table with blond curly hair should enter.”
Amy giggled. The contest sounded like fun. She started thinking about what she wanted most for Christmas．
A smile took hold of Amy when the idea first came to her. Out came pencil and paper and Amy went to work on her letter. ―Dear Santa Claus, she began．
While Amy worked away at her best printing, the rest of the family tried to guess what she might ask from Santa. Amy’s sister, Jamie, and Amy’s mom both thought a 3-foot Barbie Doll would top Amy’s wish list. Amy’s dad guessed a picture book. But Amy wasn’t ready to reveal her secret Christmas wish just then. Here is Amy’s letter to Santa, just as she wrote it that night:
Dear Santa Clause,
My name is Amy． I am 9 years old． I have a problem at school． Can you help me, Santa? Kids laugh at me because of the way I walk and run and talk． I have cerebral palsy（大脑性瘫痪）． I just want one day where no one laughs at me or makes fun of me．
Love,
Amy
At radio station WJLT in Fort Wayne, Indiana, letters poured in for the Christmas Wish Contest． The workers had fun reading about all the different presents that boys and girls from across the city wanted for Christmas．
When Amy’s letter arrived at the radio station, manager Lee Tobin read it carefully． He knew cerebral palsy was a muscle disorder that might confuse the schoolmates of Amy who didn’t understand her disability． He thought it would be good for the people in Fort Wayne to hear about this special third grader and her unusual wish. Mr. Tobin called up the local newspaper．
The next day, a picture of Amy and her letter to Santa made the front page of the News Sentinel. The story spread quickly. All across the country, newspapers and radio and television station reported the story of the little girl in Fort Wayne, Indiana, who asked for such a simple, yet remarkable Christmas gift – just one day without teasing．
Suddenly the postman was a regular at the Hagadorn house． Envelopes of all sizes addressed to Amy arrived daily from children and adults all across the nation． They came filled with holiday greetings and words of encouragement．
During that unforgettable Christmas season, over two thousand people from all over the world sent Amy letters of friendship and support． Amy and her family read every single one． Some of the writers had disabilities; some had been teased as children． Many people thanked Amy for being brave enough to speak up． Others encouraged her to ignore teasing and to carry her head high． Each writer had a special message for Amy． Through the cards and letters from strangers, Amy glimpsed a world full of people who truly cared about each other． She realized that no amount or form of teasing could ever make her feel lonely again．
Amy did get her wish of a special day without teasing at South Wayne Elementary School． Additionally, everyone at school got an added bonus． Teachers and students talked together about how bad teasing can make others feel．
That year, the Fort Wayne mayor officially proclaimed December 21st as Amy Jo Hagadorn Day throughout the city． The mayor explained that by daring to make such a simple wish, Amy taught a universal lesson．
“Everyone,” said the mayor, “wants and deserves to be treated with respect, dignity and warmth．”

24、 Researchers have found depression is linked to areas of the brain shrinking in size but when depression is paired with anxiety one area of the brain becomes greatly larger.
A new study, published in the Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience, looked at more than 10,000 people to find the effects of depression and anxiety on brain volume, The study shows depression has a pronounced impact on the hippocampus, the part of the brain linked to memory and learning, shrinking it.
In contrast, the study found that when depression and anxiety occur together, it leads to an increase in size of the part of the brain linked to emotions, the amygdala, “Many studies looking at the effects of depression on brain do not account for the fact that people who have depression often experience anxiety too,” study lead and Ph.D. researcher Ms. Daniela Oyarce said.
Depression is considered a serious medical condition worldwide, and one in six Ausualians currently experience depression, anxiety, or both, “We found people who have depression alone have lower brain volumes in many areas of the brain, and in particular the hippocampus,” Ms. Daniela Oyarce said. “This becomes even more relevant later in life because a smaller hippocampus is a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease and may speed the development of dementia.”
A particularly important finding of this research is that people who had both depression and anxiety had less shrinkage in many brain areas and even an increase in the amygdala. This indicates that the true effects of depression on the brain has been underestimated because of an opposite effect in the amygdala. “Anxiety lowers the effects of depression on brain volume sizes by three percent on average—somewhat hiding the true shrinking effects of depression,” Ms. Daniela Oyarce said.
“More research is needed into how anxiety lowers the effects of depression, but for the amygdala, perhaps anxiety leads to overactivity,” Ms. Daniela Oyarce added.
【1】Which aspect of the brain is affected by depression?
A．Surface
B．Function
C．Shape.
D．Volume.
【2】What function is the amygdala related to?
A．Repair.
B．Emotions.
C．Learning.
D．Language.
【3】What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．The risk caused by depression.
B．The symptoms of depression.
C．The current situation of patients with depression.
D．The relationship between depression and anxiety.
【4】What will happen when depression is paired with anxiety?
A．The amygdala will shrink.
B．The amygdala will increase.
C．The hippocampus will increase.
D．The brain volumes will shrink.
