21、 This is what's known as a 'Buddy' or Friendship Bench'. They're needed because playgrounds can be lonely places sometimes. And these benches can help pupils feeling lonely to find a friend. Benches like this have been around for a while now in many schools. But in Ireland, they are trying to do something a bit different with them.
This school in Cork in the south of Ireland is the 247th to get one from a social enterprise called Buddy Bench Ireland that doesn't just provide schools with benches, it also runs special workshops with trained child psychiatrists（精神病专家）.They use the bench as an opportunity to start conversations about mental well-being. They talk about the importance of being aware of your feelings and those of others. The children need to understand what the bench is about, what it symbolizes--- friendship, inclusion, listening to each other and the most important thing, that it's important to express feelings.
But do children actually use the bench? It's something an independent academic study has been looking at. We found that 40% of the children told us that they had actually used the benches at the time of the study. And over 90% said that they would talk to a child if that child was sitting on the bench. So, certainly there doesn't appear to be any issues around stigma. Children's mental health at school is increasingly a concern in many countries. In Ireland, they're hoping these benches will not only tackle issues like social isolation and bullying but also give a future generation the confidence to open up about their feelings.
【1】Why the school in Cork in the south of Ireland uses the bench?
A.To start conversations about mental well-being.
B.To replace the old benches in school.
C.To cut the cost of school's facility.
D.To help children with psychological problems fully recover.
【2】What makes the bench work in Ireland schools?
A.Teachers and parents encourage children to try it.
B.Most children are willing to express feelings.
C.All the children understand what the bench is about.
D.The bench helps children get rid of loneliness.
【3】What do schools expect of the bench?
A.It will deal with social isolation and bullying completely.
B.It will motivate a future generation to bravely convey their feelings.
C.It will make children prefer the bench to old one.
D.It will spread in most schools in Ireland soon.
【4】Where is the text most likely from?
A.A fiction B.A guidebook
C.A diary D.A magazine
22、The Best Way to Nap
A study published in the journal Heart found a link between healthy napping (打盹) and a lowered risk of heart disease. The American Psychological Association points out that naps can improve memory,learning capacity and mood. Sara Med nick,PhD,a neuroscience at the University of California explains that when you fall asleep, your body moves through stages that each play a role in health. Ideal napping times are based around this four-stage cycle.
Stage 1 | the“dozing off”(打瞌睡)period |
Stage 2 | muscles,heart rate and brain activity slow down |
Stage 3 | deep, restorative sleep |
Stage 4 | REM(rapid eye movement)sleep,when brain activity increases and you’re most likely to dream |
The 20-minute nap | Between 20 and 30 minutes is one napping sweet spot, according to Mednick, who explains that you get enough Stage 2 sleep to switch your body and mind into full relaxation mode,aiding with memory. |
The 60-minute nap | Stage 3 sleep is a time for your body to repair tissue,strengthen the immune(免疫)system and recharge energy stores. But waking up during this phase can make you feel uncomfortable and sleepy,Med nick says. Most people start to move out of Stage 3 after around 60 minutes, which makes it a good time to set your alarm. |
The 90-minute nap | A complete sleep cycle is about an hour and a half, and napping for a full cycle can have big benefits. But naps longer than 90 minutes can disturb nighttime sleep and might even weaken memory. |
Not a regular napper? That’s OK. “Everyone needs to rest, but not everyone necessarily needs to nap,” says Med nick.

23、 Nowadays, top performing sportsmen earn huge amount of money as compared to people in other professions. Some people consider it a rational approach. However, there are a few who think it is unjustifiable.
Some people think sports professionals with outstanding performance should be overpaid as it is a short-lived career which requires rigorous hard work as compared to other professions. This field demands a strict, disciplined life with extensive physical efforts, consistent practice, a fixed diet schedule to bring pride and glory to the country. Due to such tough requirements, people in this field have an average career span of 10-15 years. As sports professionals have limited tenure, they should be rewarded with high monetary gains to acknowledge their excellent performance.
However, there are a few who think that top performing sportsmen and women should not have high salaries as it is a biased approach. They feel that there are other critical professions which are more valuable to the country as compared to the sports field. For example, the professions, like doctors, social worker, works for the betterment of the society. Their efforts not only help to reduce the social issues prevailing in the community, but they also contribute in providing a healthy environment. As a result, they significantly contribute to the growth of the country. Henceforth, their efforts should be equally recognized along with the sports professionals.
In my opinion, although there are some logical reasons for huge earnings of the top performing players, people from other professions should also be equally appreciated in terms of lucrative monetary benefits for their outstanding contribution. As all the professions are critical in their own field and contributes to the overall development of the country.
To conclude, sports people delivering excellent performance should not be overpaid in comparison to other professionals who make a significant contribution to the society.
【1】A key reason for overpaying sports professionals with outstanding performance is that .
A. they work harder than others B. they have to keep a strict diet
C. their career is relatively short D. they meet tough requirements
【2】What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. Some people look down on sportsmen.
B. Valuing sports can lead to prejudice.
C. Not all professions can get great incomes.
D. Not all professions can get great incomes.
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards overpaying top sportsmen?
A. Opposing. B. Supportive.
C. Ambiguous. D. Unconcerned.
【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. People’s various attitudes to top sportsmen.
B. Whether top sportsmen should be overpaid.
C. Top sportsmen bring honor to their homeland.
D. Overpaying top sportsmen harms other professions.

25、Like a good cheese, wine, or pair of well-worm blue jeans, some things get better with time. For me, Anne Lamott’s book named Shitty First Drafts can also be grouped into this_________.

Years later, a college professor advised me to give Lamott’s Bird by Bird a_________. I came cross that famous first-draft phrase again. This time around, I encountered a how-to on writing that left behind only insightful,_________and humorous bits of wisdom. How__________it is to finally hear from a professional writer that like others, she also experiences the same sorts of__________as a college student working at an essay assignment!
As a full-time writer, now I rely on__________to pay bills and put food on the table. When those words come less__________and I struggle to find my daily rhythm, I make a point of reminding myself where all__________writing begins. The ones who make it look easy are often those who’ve__________some interest, ability or natural talent with a lot of__________, efforts, and struggles. And__________drafts. If the best of the best need to write several versions of any given piece to shape__________material into a product worth a look, then the rest of us need to__________the writing process to work for us, too.
