A. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.
When you’re bored, what will you do first? If you’re like many, the answer is quite simple: You reach for your phone. Five minutes of short videos or funny pictures seem like a p 81 break.
If that sounds familiar, a new study has bad news. Reaching for your phone is likely to leave you feeling more bored. The problem isn’t taking a break. The problem is your phone. A research shows using phones can’t help people r 82 from their heavy work.
To figure out the r 83 between phones and boredom, the research team installed（安装）an app on the
phones of 83 volunteers to find out how often they used their phones. They also asked these volunteers to keep diaries for three days, recording their level of boredom every hour
“ Phone breaks were frequent （ 频繁的）： In the 20 minutes following each
questionnaire, the volunteers picked
up their phones 52 percent of the time. They spent an average of around 90 seconds on it each time, ” reports the research team. “ The more tired we are, the most
l 84 we are to reach for our phones. While we look to our phones to relieve（减轻）boredom, screen time
seemed to i 85 feelings of boredom. The volunteers actually reported higher levels of boredom after having used their smartphones.”
The research team pointed out that phone breaks may end up being more tiring than stimulating. In other words, watching the funny videos is very nice, but it’s now w 86 the cost to your brain in effort and concentration. In addition, picking up your phone might remind you that you have a better choice to do something else if you don’t have to finish the tasks immediately. Both your time and effort are easily wasted.
What should we do i 87 ? Taking a walk is good exercise. Calling someone can make your mood cheerful. Reading a book gives your brain a fresh start. You can do many things like that. Just remember, don’t reach for your phone!
Key:81. pleasant 82. relax 83. relation 84. likely 85. increase 86. worth 87. instead

It was August in Paris. Most Parisians were out of the city, enjoying their summer holiday. The streets were e71 and restaurants were closed.
But on a Saturday morning at 9 a.m., I was standing in a queue. I was waiting to see Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, the world's most famous artwork. I bought the ticket in advance. However, by the time I arrived at the Louvre(卢浮宫), there had been a very long l72.
It took me around 30 minutes to pass the security check. As I entered the museum, I found the second airport-style queue of the day. The line moved forward s73 and silently. It’s just like a trip to Ikea. You only need some glasses. However, you have to walk, eyes-down, past lots of sofas and tables before you reach what you need.
The only sign the Mona Lisa was c74 was a forest of security officers. Only ten people were allowed to view the painting at a time. A poster outside the pen（围栏）warned, “The Mona Lisa has many admirers. Please keep your visit short and sweet to give e75 a chance to meet her.”
“How short is short and sweet?” I wondered. Very short, it turned out.
My watch clocked only 22 seconds from entering the pen before two staff members told me it was time to g76. “One photo and go,” they said. I tried to take a selfie, but an arm quickly came to guide me onwards. Behind me, the queue slowly moved forward, ten by ten, to take a photo and leave.
I was almost a77 as I admired the other artworks in the Louvre. I couldn’t help wondering: Why are we so eager to see the Mona Lisa? Are we really going to appreciate the famous artworks or are we just “checking in” at the “popular” attractions?

Most of us are not as intelligent as Holmes. But we can also work out mysteries on our own.
All we have to do is to follow some simple rules.
Rule No. 1: Justice（正义）is the most important.
No matter how smart he or she is, the most important quality for a detective is being good. In the movie, Lord Blackwood and Sherlock Holmes are both very intelligent. The d 73 is that Lord Blackwood is a bad man and he does bad things. Holmes can beat him on the side of justice. Rule No. 2: Have sharp eyes.
Every bad man tries to cover up what he did. But not all things can be covered up easily. A good detective can discover clues hidden at crime scenes with sharp eyes. For example, Holmes can simply look at a man's footprints and q 74 find out his personal information like age and habits.
Rule No. 3: A good a 75 is a great help.
Even though Holmes has knowledge about many s 76 , such as chemistry, botany（ 植 物学）and anatomy（解剖学）, he still needs Dr. Watson's help to solve mysteries. You should also have someone to help you, especially if you don't know as much as Holmes.
Rule No. 4: Logic（逻辑）is the key.

A good detective never jumps to conclusions. When all t he necessary clues are put together, you'd better think carefully. If you can't work it out, don't be a 77 . Just take a deep breath and concentrate on thinking. Logic can help you discover missing clues.

In modem-day society having a smartphone is considered normal, even essential. Most teens can’t imagine living without a mobile, yet I still don’t own one. Why? Because my mother does not consider it n81. This may seem unreasonable to many, but sometimes I agree with her. Of course, I experience the downside often enough. I feel a bit left out, when everybody in class talks about a post they saw the other day. Very often I feel embarrassed when I must e82 why I can’t be part of online groups.
During lessons our teachers like working with mobile phones. I do have a little Nokia phone though, and I phone my father who works a83 nearly every day. I’ve grown up without constantly messaging someone or posting something and sometimes even going weeks without a mobile! I do feel angry that people are always telling me they have p84 on me because I don’t own one.
Being an outsider in this world of technology, I sometimes feel I’m the only one that notices the c85 in people when they get a smartphone. I’ve been to many birthday parties where everyone yen s more time on their phone than talking to one another and I’ve seen my friends completely stuck in their online world. It makes me sad that so many people lose themselves in a world that doesn’t e86 and ignore the people around them.
I enjoy the freedom I get from not being available all day long and I feel able to spend most of my free time reading or doing g87 interesting. Maybe one day I will get a smartphone, but 1 am not going to be unhappy because I don’t own one. So trust me, when people say that it’s better to have a smartphone, they’re wrong!

Survey Says? Libraries Lead!
You might guess that Americans’ top go-to spot for culture and entertainment would be a movie theater or sports stadium. But a recent study p 81 a place doesn’t need buttered popcorn to attract visitors.
In 2019, the research company did a survey about Americans’ leisure activities. People were asked how often in the last year they had visited certain types of n 82. These included libraries, museums, theme parks, and zoos. Libraries topped over the competition. They got more than twice as many total visits as movie theaters, which landed at number two.
Being number one is nothing new for libraries. The findings of a s 83 study in 2001 were about the same. But one thing has changed since then. Today, many people can c 84 to the Internet. They’re able to read just about anything, just about anywhere. Some people predicted the Internet would make libraries out of date. However, it’s actually part of their popularity. In 2016, a Pew Research Center study found that 29 percent of adults went there to use computers, the Internet, or Wi-Fi. But the most c 85 reason people go to the library is to check out books.
What books do library-goers borrow the most? The New York Public Library （NYPL） set out to answer this question. In 2020, the library released a list of the most check-out books in its 125-ycar history.
Three books in the top five arc kids’ favorites, i 86 Where the Wild Things Are （#4） and The Cat in the Hat （#2）. The highest honor, meanwhile, goes to The Snowy Day （#1）. It’s a beautifully illustrated（有插图的）tale about a boy exploring a city turned into a winter wonderland. The book has been checked out almost half a million times.
Why are so many children’s books on the list? One reason is that they’re short. So they’re read and returned f 87. As The Cat in the Hat might put it: a quick-to-read hit comes back lickety-split!

Few people know about online food delivery apps 10 years ago, but today many would find that it is hard to live w 71 them. In China alone, over 400 million people use such apps. For better or for worse, online food delivery s 72 have changed the way we eat, and they are also having a huge influence on our society.
These apps have no doubt bringing us many benefits. They provide jobs for millions of people and help restaurants find more customers. S 73 the apps are very convenient, they also benefit consumers. We can now have meals delivered at any time of day, which is especially important for people who work long hours, as they might not have time to cook. Not only do these apps save time, they also provide us with a wide variety of restaurants to choose from.
However, we must not forget the problems of online food delivery. For one thing, they make it even easier to order u 74 food, high in sugar, fat and salt. Food safety is another problem. It can be hard to tell where the food a 75 comes from, and whether the owner is allowed to run a restaurant. As couriers (递送者)need to deliver the orders as quickly as possible, some may pay less attention to traffic rules. These years, there have been a number of terrible traffic accidents because of this. Moreover, the industry is p 76 unbelievable amounts of packaging waste. Over a million tons of online food delivery boxes are thrown away every year.
There are many good points of online food delivery, but we need to make sure that we make the right c 77 in the long run. We should do our best to limit waste, especially when it comes to packaging. We also need to think about what we eat and the influence on our health. Next time you want to order in, you should think about whether you really need to. In most cases, it is better to walk over to the supermarket, buy the ingredients you need, and then cook them on your own.

Philip — aged 64
I have a strange habit of f 82 asleep when I watch TV and it usually happens when 1 am watching something I am really interested in. The television seems to make me sleep e 83. Then when I go upstairs to bed, 1 find I can't sleep and I usually listen to the radio for hours and hours during the night.
Clare — aged 35
I have an eight-month-old baby and a three-year-old son, so I don’t get much sleep at the moment. In fact, I can't remember the last time I had a w 84 night’s sleep. Last night 1 think I had about five hours, as the baby woke up three times. I work during the day and it can be difficult to stay awake when I haven't slept much.
Jag — aged 29
I read in the paper the other day that most children in this city don't sleep enough. Many of them do homework until midnight and then they are really t 85 at school. I’m a teacher. Sometimes, in the classes after lunch, the students look as if they are about to sleep. Some people say that maybe school should start I 86 for teenagers. I think they might be right.

If you think of the jobs that robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of
the list. It’s easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but others need human connection and creativity. But are we underestimating（低估）what robots can do? In some cases, they already p 71 better than doctors
at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more c 72 sharing their private information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?
British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. He p 73 robots will do most work of transferring information and teachers will be like
assistants. Intelligent robots will read students’ faces, movements and maybe even brain s 74 . Then they will adapt（使…适应）the information to each student. It’s not a popular opinion and it’s unlikely robots will ever
understand other people’s feelings and be able to really connect with humans like another human can.
One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. Teachers all over the world are l 75 . In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers and 9 to 16 percent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won’t suffer from stress, or get t 76 , or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job.
Teaching is generally recognized as difficult and teachers feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not “Will robots take the place of teachers?” but “How can robots help teachers?” Office workers can use software to do things like organize and answer emails, arrange meetings and update calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, i 77 more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.

Unless you are one of those rare people with an excellent memory, you probably have trouble remembering the names of people you have just met. This problem can be frustrating(令人沮丧的) and embarrassing.(71)F , there are a number of ways you can overcome this human weakness.
Before examining the methods to help remember people’s names, let’s look at the reasons why we are so (72)f in the first place. Researchers think it's due to a lack of motivation. People are better at remembering things that they want to learn. To put it simply, you're just not that (73)i . Another reason is that putting a new face to a name is more complicated than we think, which leads to another problem.We usually don' t make the effort to (74)m new names immediately. Not only that, but when meeting someone new, we may be thinking about other things and not be paying enough attention.
All of this means that we need to take measures to avoid the embarrassment of forgetting a person’s name. One good method is to say a person’s name when you (75)g them and also repeat it silently to yourself a few times. This type of repetition is essential for learning any type of skill. Using a memory method, such as (76)l individual names with something else, also helps. For example, if someones name is Ben and he is tall, you can label him(to yourself, of course)"Big Ben." In addition, focusing on people and listening more closely when you meet them will assist you in recalling their names. Although forgetting names isn’t a matter of life or death, it's uncomfortable. Putting these (77)t into practice will help you better avoid this social discomfort.

Five tips for less plastic
The world has a plastic problem---and it is increasing. Scientists are working to find a long-term solution
by making plastic more biodegradable(可生物降解的). But in the meantime, here are five things you can do
to (81) r______ plastic waste now.
1. Stop using plastic bags. Instead, take your own reusable shopping bag to the store. People use a trillion plastic bags worldwide every year. About 10 percent are used in the United States alone. That’s almost one bag per American per day, but the (82)a_____ Dane(丹麦人)uses four single-use bags per year. In 1993, Denmark was the first country to place a tax on plastic bags. Today, other countries(such as Chile, Kenya and New Zealand) either make customers pay for plastic bags, or have banned（禁止）them （83）c_______.
2. Skip the straw. Today, around 8.3 billion plastic straws pollute the world’s beaches. So when you order a drink, say “no” to the reusable straw, or bring your own reusable one. In 2018, Seattle became the first major U.S. city to ban plastic straws and many other cities are set to follow its (84) e_________.
