Unlike many other people, who have birthmarks on their bodies, I have them on my lips and inside my mouth. I used to consider them ugly. However, my mom calls them beauty marks.
My birthmarks are caused by an genetic condition from my mom’s side of the family. This syndrome causes polyps (息肉), which are small non-cancerous growths in the intestinal tract (肠道). Every other year I have a procedure where the doctor removes them from my intestines. On the day before, can’t cat anything solid because the doctors need my intestines to be clear so that they don’t mistake food for a polyp. I also cannot drink anything red, because they may mistake it for blood on the scan Before the procedure they give me anesthesia (麻醉).
No matter how many times I go through the process. I always get nervous — but that’s understandable. At the end of the day I always know I’ll end up okay.
My younger cousin faces a similar challenge. She has a huge birthmark that takes up her whole arm. Her birthmark is pretty noticeable and looks like faded red splotches of paint. She’s never tried to hide her birthmark or change her appearance. It really inspires me She has always been so much more confident about her birthmark than I am. Once, her grandmother told her mom that her birthmark looked extremely prominent and suggested that she should wear long sleeves more often. If my younger cousin’s mom had actually taken that suggestion, my younger cousin wouldn’t be as confident about her birthmark as she is.
I could have covered up my birthmarks a while ago by wearing black lipstick. But I’m glad I didn’t. Using black lipstick would be straying away from accepting facial features that make me different. I am finally accepting who I am and now I won’t tolerate people making fun of me. I don’t hesitate when someone asks me about them either. I say, “They’re beauty marks”.
24. What do we know about the author from the first two paragraphs
A. She likes to be different from others.
B. Her birthmarks can be deadly.
C. She should eat some solid food before the operation.
D. Her birthmarks cause her some trouble.

26. What can be inferred about the author’s cousin
A. She has hidden her birthmark.
B. Her confidence encourages the author.
C. She has taken her grandma’s suggestion.
D. She never judges others by their looks.
27. What can we learn from the story

B. Don’t judge a person by his appearance.
C. Learn to accept who you are.
D. Overcome the nervousness.
C
Tech giants Apple and Google are teaming up to create a system that would let smart phone users know when they’ve come into contact with someone who has COVID-19.
The technology would rely on the Bluetooth signals that smart phones can both send out and receive. If a person tests positive (阳性) for COVID-19, they could inform public health authorities through an app. Those public heath apps would then warm anyone whose smart phones had come near the infected person’s phone in the previous 14 days. The technology could be used on both Google Android phones and Apple iPhones.
The companies insist that they will preserve smart phone users privacy and then technology will be used only by public health authorities to trace the spread of COV1D-19. Smart phone users can choose to use it. The software will not collect data on users’ physical locations or their personally identifiable information. People who test positive would remain unknown to the public, both to the people who came in contact with them and to Apple and Google. “Privacy is of greatest importance in this effort,” the companies said in a joint statement.
The American Civil Liberties Union has warned that using cellphone data to handle the pandemic carries risks of “destruction of privacy”. In a statement on Friday, ACLU cyber security counsel Jennifer Granick said, “The system also can’t work well if people don’t trust it”. She said that the joint Apple and Google project “appears to reduce the worst privacy risks, but there is still room for improvement.” She added that the contact tracing app should be used only for public health purposes and only for the duration of this pandemic.
Public health officials say the contact tracing—finding people who have been in contact with an infected person will be a key step in lifting shelter-in-place restrictions.
It would allow people who are known to have been exposed to the virus to isolate themselves, while letting others recover normal activities.
28. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To advertise for public health.
B. To warn the public of risks of COVID-19.
C. To introduce a contact tracing system.
D. To raise people’s awareness of privacy protection.
29. What do the companies promise to do in particular
A. Warn people who test positive.
B. Protect infected people’s privacy.
C. Work with public health authorities.
D. Collect data on users physical locations.
30. What docs the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 suggest
A. Jennifer thinks the system should be better.
B. Only people’s trust influences the system.
C. The system is at the risk of being destroyed.
D. Public health issues are traced accurately.
31. The system is mainly designed to ______.
A. ensure infected people’s recovery
B. guarantee people’s normal activities
C. encourage all the people to isolate themselves
D. help prevent the spread of COVID-19
D
We’re all familiar with songs getting stuck in our head while we’re awake, but it turns out this can happen during sleep as well. A new study investigating the phenomenon indicates that earworms invading (侵入) our brains at night could cause problems in getting to sleep and staying asleep.
“Our brains continue to process music even when none is playing, including apparently while we are asleep,” says neuroscientist Michael Scullin.
He and his colleagues used surveys of 199 people, as well as a sleep lab test involving 50 volunteers, to measure how listening to music before bedtime affects sleep. In particular, the team focused on catchy earworms. In the survey part of the study, participants who frequently listened to music during the day were more likely to report persistent nighttime earworms, which then had a negative effect on sleep quality through the night.
Earworms were reported throughout the night by participants, with those catching an earworm taking longer to fall asleep, spending more time in the light stages of sleep, and waking up more times during the night. Surprisingly, the instrumental versions of the songs caused about twice as many earworms and more subsequent sleep problems than the versions with vocals (声乐).
“We thought that people would have earwormns at bedtime when they were trying to fall asleep, but we certainly didn’t know that people would report regularly waking up from sleep with an earworm,” says Scullin. “But we saw that in both the survey and experimental study.”
Scullin suggests avoiding listening to music right before bed to limit the chance of a catchy tune taking hold in our minds. Engaging in some other cognitive activity before sleeping, like making a list of jobs for the next day, might also help clear the mind, Scullin says.
“The more you listen to music, the more likely you are to catch an earworm that won’t go away at bedtime. When that happens, chances are that your sleep is going to suffer.”
32.What may happen to us if we have earworms at night
A. We may have a sound sleep
B. We may fall asleep in no time
C. We may suffer a light sleep
D. We may wake up fewer times
33. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A. People have earworms at bedtime.
B. People wake up from sleep with an earworm.
C. People have more problems with vocal versions.
D. People suffer earworms after hearing instrumental songs.
34. What does Scullin advise us to do before bed
A. keep off music
B. Limit the songs we listen to
C. Listen to music to relax our body.
D. Count worms to fall asleep soon.
35. What’s the best title for the text
A. Music can relax your body
B. Late night music gets you to sleep soon
C. Many people have sleep problems at night
D. Earworms harm you when you are asleep
