Learning to say “yes, and”
When I first heard about the improvisation (即兴交流) class, I was hesitating. As a quiet and shy girl, I feared
improvising in front of strangers. However, I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after finishing my
Ph.D．, so it seemed like a perfect chance to learn how to speak and communicate with others effectively. I signed
up, knowing the experience would give me help.
During our first class, we learned an important concept of improvisation: “ yes, and.” It means that, as
improvisers, we’d better accept what fellow performers say. If someone says that rhinos (犀牛) are librarians, for
example, then rhinos are librarians. We do not question the logic; we say “yes” and then continue with the scene
as if nothing is wrong.
The first few scenes were hard, but as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable and even started to
enjoy our classes. I became better at listening, relating to my conversation partners, and communicating clearly in
the moment. Once when I was giving a presentation about my science, an audience member surprised me with a
question that didn’t grow out of the information I’d presented. Instead of getting confused and nervous, I took the
第 3页/共 9页
“yes, and” approach—accepting the question and letting my mind focus on why it was asked. That helped me
find an appropriate answer. I got pretty excited about it.
The benefits of improvisation go beyond communication. Before attending the class, I would get stuck when my
experiments produced unexpected data, thinking that I had made a mistake. But now, instead of getting discouraged,
I will stay open to the possibility that the results are real, keep exploring the data and end up identifying a new type
of cell—one that isn’t behaving as expected.
I think all scientists can benefit from this lesson. If the data say rhinos are librarians, then it’s worth finding out
whether rhinos are, in fact, librarians. As scientists, our job isn’t to challenge data that support, a preconceived
story, but to say “yes, and.”
24.Why did the author attend the improvisation class
A. To get a different experience.
B. To finish her Ph.D．at university.
C. To give up her job as a science communicator.
D. To improve her speaking and communicating ability.
25.What was the author’s change after attending the improvisation class
A. She formed her own idea quickly.
B. She came up with lots of creative responses.
C. She paid more attention to the logic of answers.
D. She became a good listener before giving an opinion.
26.The author mentions applying the “yes, and” approach to her scientific experiments to __.
A. explain the process of using the method
B. prove the benefits of the improvisation class
C. share her own research experiences with readers
D. attract fellow scientists to attend the improvisation class
27.What can be inferred about scientists from the last paragraph
A. They should attend the improvisation class.
B. They should question all preconceived ideas.
C. They should carry on research by admitting earlier data.
D. They should try to improve their academic knowledge.

How Do Smartphones Affect Our Sleep
Smart phones can be addictive and may lead to problematic use. This is even more true for teenagers.
Smartphone addiction can also negatively affect students' performance in school. Many studies have also shown the
prolonged screen time is bad for our sleep. But is it different if you are actually addicted to your phone？Is that
more of a problem for sleep than just spending time on your screen？
We asked 1043 UK students aged between 18 to 30 to complete two questionnaires. The first one was about the
students' smartphone use，which includes questions like whether they miss planned work due to smartphone use to
see whether they are addicted. The second questionnaire assessed the quality of students' sleep. We then analyzed
the data to find if there is an association between smartphone addiction and some factors like age，ethnicity，or
第 4页/共 9页
gender.
Around 39% of the students showed several signs of smartphone addiction. It was more prevalent among
students under 21. Prolonged use was strongly linked to addiction. About 54% of the students who used their
smartphones for more than 5 hours a day suffered from addiction. Only 20% of those who used them for under 2
hours a day were addicted.
Smartphone use before bed is also an important factor. The addiction levels were high among students who used
their phones less than 30 minutes before bedtime and low among those who stopped using their phones more than
one hour before time.
According to our study，smartphone addiction is also related to using it in late hours. For example，if you use
your phone after 1 am，you are three times as likely to have an addiction. So the amount of time spent on your
phone is not enough to suggest addiction. But combining that with the latest time you use your phone can be a good
indicator.
Our study also shows that smartphone addiction could be harming people's sleep. And this is not just because of
screen time. People could suffer from addiction and poor sleep even when they used their phones for under 2 hours
a day. But use in the late hours or right before bedtime tended to harm the students' sleep.
If you have a smartphone，it could have a bad impact on your health. Students need to take special actions to
prevent it from damaging their health before it's too late.
28.What does the word " prevalent" probably mean？
A. accepted.B. common. C. controlled. D. understood
29.According to the study，what is a good indicator for smartphone addiction？
A. Age of smartphone users.
B. How long smartphones are used per day.
C. Latest time on phone.
D. Time and duration of using smartphones.
30.What do we know about the result of the study？
A. Using smartphones right before bedtime harms sleep quality.
B. 54% of the participants use their phones more than 5 hours a day.
C. 39% of the participants aged under 21 are addicted to smartphones.
D. Using smartphones less than 2 hours a day keeps you away from addiction.
31.Based on the study，what action may a student take to prevent the addiction to smartphones？
A. Stop playing games on the phone.
B. Watch relaxing videos before bed.
C. Stop using phones 30 minutes before sleep.
D. Take a break every 2 hours on his phone.

What is a Food Critic
A food critic is a writer who specializes in writing criticisms of food. Like theater and movie critics, food critics
are supposed to provide thoughtful, well-informed, and objective information to the public so that members of the
public can make decisions about where to spend their money. _____43______ However some may also engage in
more general food writing.
Becoming a food critic takes time. Many food critics pursue professional experiences in the world of food,
attending culinary schools, working in restaurants, participating in farming, and so forth. ______44______ A
good food critic is extremely knowledgeable about food, from how certain foods are harvested to the history of
various dishes. Food critics also have very well-developed palates (味蕾), and they may specialize in a particular
area.
_____45______ Food critics may move between publishers over the course of their careers, or start working for
the food section of a paper and working up to a position as a food critic. A handful of critics become well known
and well respected, with most primarily being known only in the area they serve.
Professional integrity is very important for food critics. Many make reservations and visit restaurants
anonymously (匿名地), so that they get an idea of how a restaurant serves ordinary customers. They also make
repeat visits so that they can make fair and balanced assessments of a restaurant and its offerings. _____46______
Implications of favoritism or bribery (贿赂) can ruin the reputation of a food critic.
This is what food critics are like. They describe and evaluate the food, providing opinions on its quality.
______47______ These can be used as a reference for readers to make decisions.
A. Food critics have the right to score the restaurant.
B. It's important for them to be familiar with varieties of food.
C. Avoidance of gifts from restaurateurs is also very important.
D. Therefore, they can learn about every aspect of the food industry.
E. After considering all aspects of the dining experience, they generate ratings.
第 6页/共 9页
F. Food critics primarily write about restaurants from fast food establishments to fancy restaurants.
G. Once a food critic has gained experience, he or she can start writing articles for magazines and newspapers.

It is no secret that literary works，like many other pieces of art，are capable of making an emotional impact on
their audience. One can say it is the ability to influence the reader's mood that makes a story good and memorable.
A writer can show the optimistic nature of a fictional character in a variety of ways. Creating a contrast between
the main character's personality and external reality is among the most emotionally efficient means. Therefore，
there is usually a juxtaposition between the imagined would of a book and readers' world around them.
At times when the world is "all over the place" and causes severe stress for people， having the chance to
immerse （使沉浸） oneself in to the fictional world and spend some time with the characters of the story can be a
relief. For example， during the peaks of the pandemic when the news media was reporting high numbers of
infected patients as well as spiking ICU rates，more and more people wanted to shelter themselves from the reality
and take a break from it. While escaping the world around us is not realistic for a long time，having an opportunity
to escape just for some time is a luxury that literature can offer.
There are a large number of books that offer the safe escape into a fictional world and teach their readers that
there are to unsolvable problems. The adventures through which the reader goes together with book characters
often provide teachable lessons and underline the importance of remaining optimistic. As mentioned by
Montgomery in Anne of Green Gables， "Tomorrow is always fresh，with no mistakes in it yet." It illustrates that
the characters of the book have made some mistakes and have harvested the consequences of them，but the next
day is a new page with new opportunities.
48．What is one of the most emotionally efficient means in literature？
49．How can people get a relief when suffering from stress？
50．Please decide which part is false in the following statement，then underline it and explain why.
The adventures in literature help readers find solutions to problems and realize the importance of
optimism.
51．Apart from optimism，what other benefit（s） have you got from literature？Why？（ In about 40 words）
