A
For many years, scientists have known that laughing is good for the health of our minds and bodies. Now we are learning that it’s not just laughter. Having fun and playing are also good for us! Researchers have found that play is good for people of all ages. Play actually leads to the growth of more nerve connections in the brain and gives us more brain power.
Play is necessary during childhood. As children play, they learn how to make friends and relate to others. They develop their imaginations and become more creative. Kids carry these qualities with them as they grow older.
Amy Whitcomb teaches maths at a school in San Francisco. For several years, she has used games to teach maths. In one class, students play a game with small bags of candy to figure out how many pieces in the bags are red. When they get the correct answer, they can eat the candy! Amy says,＂ If it’s not fun, they’re not going to want to be there. They’re not going to want to learn.＂
The spirit of playfulness continues through the teenage years into adulthood (成人期). The famous company Google, for example, keeps a lot of toys and games at different places in their offices and encourages people to use them. Their motto is ＂Work hard. Play hard.＂ They know that people often get their best ideas when they are just ＂playing around＂ and let their imaginations go wild. So next time you have to solve a difficult maths problem or can’t think of a topic for an article, take a short play break. Do a little dance, or play a quick game. Then come back to it. Maybe you’ll be surprised at what your brain can do.
21. The example of the company Google is given to show that _____________. A. play is also fit for adults B. everyone there works hard C. they have a lot of toys and games D. it is very famous in the world

B. solve the problem of C. draw a picture of D. play a joke on
23. According to the passage, you need to play if you _____________. A. want to make friends with others B. have to do some homework
C. fail to think of a topic for an article D. find a job in a big company
24. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. A maths lesson B. How children grow C. The power of play D. Work hard, play hard
B
When we do something, we all have our own plans. Some people are born planners. I can’t claim (宣称) to be one of that kind of people. Most of the time, I try to at least expect what might go wrong. I have taken to making lists and, although I’m not yet achieving perfection, I usually manage to achieve goals. But there are times when even the best plans do not succeed. All that is left then is to smile and to make or do something using whatever is found.
Hanukkah (光明节) came early this year, perhaps too soon after Thanksgiving to allow us to prepare well. During the first night of Hanukkah, the Hanukkah candles were nowhere to be found in the entire Dallas area where we lived. Birthday candles wouldn’t work! The tall long thin candle fell in small drops. “What would our ancestors do?” I thought. “What shall I do now? That’s where ingenuity comes from. Don’t be nervous and worried. Never let missing candles spoil a family celebration.” Later what we did find was a bag of tea lights. The long, silver bread tray became the base for our tea lights. The younger ones were wide-eyed and happy as Grandpa lit the first tea light and all recited the blessing. We sat at the dining table, happy to be together and the food was plentiful.
No matter how imperfect it is, the fact that families gather to share a special event, an event that has held meaning for so many generations of families, is the meaning itself and forms the important

part of the observance (仪式). What we need to remember, and to carry with us, is the knowledge that togetherness is much better than all other concerns.
25. How does the author feel about perfect planning according to Paragraph 1? A. It should be an aim when we are doing things. B. It is well worth considering carefully. C. It often takes too much great effort. D. It plays an important part in our daily life. 26. From the passage, what can we infer?
A. We should know well about our limited weaknesses. B. We should make the most of the available resources. C. We should get well prepared for the coming festival. D. We should feel confident about our own abilities.
27. What does the underlined word “ingenuity” in the second paragraph mean? A. Courage. B. Curiosity. C. Custom. D. Creativity. 28. What does the author think highly of? A. Personal abilities. B. Personal experience. C. Family reunion. D. Cultural difference.
C
In an effort to make people use less plastics（塑料）, scientists have been hard at work inventing packaging products that can replace plastics.
The idea of using seaweed(海草)to make eco-friendly water bottles has been around for a few years. Recently, Ari Jonsson took his invention -- a water bottle made from red seaweed-to show off at a festival. The bottles will only hold their shape as long as they are filled. As soon as these bottles are empty they will begin to break down, though they would be perfectly safe to eat. Ari Jonsson's bottles are a step closer to a widely used replacement to the current plastic ones.
The eatable water container is not the only product to add to our image of the future. Narayana Pessapaty has also created eatable spoons. After the success of his spoons, Mr. Pessapaty is ready to expand and introduce forks and chopsticks to his menu. His aim is to largely reduce the amount of plastic waste, which is a huge problem for waste sites all over the world. It is a product that may take up to 500 years to break down, and recycling companies worldwide are struggling to deal with it.
Aside from the obvious benefits to the environment, this new packaging is also cheap to produce
