How do you prefer to sleep, on the back or on your side? Here are some interesting sleeping positions. Starfish Starfish is when you lie on your back and sleep with your arms near your head. According to studies, only 5% people sleep like this. It often causes lower back pain. So you can put a pillow (枕头) under your knees. You will feel more comfortable this way. ? Soldier Position This sleeping position is a bit strange but very common. It’s when you sleep on your back with your arms down and very close to your body. Studies have shown that people who sleep like this may be quieter. It is really a good sleeping position because it helps keep your body in a straight line. Sleeping on Your Belly (肚子) Do you like to sleep on your belly? The position might not help you. It can make your neck uncomfortable. But if this is how you like to sleep, you can use a very soft cooling pillow to make your neck feel better. Freefall At least 7% of the world’s population sleep that way. In this position, you have your hands on or around your pillow, with your head turning to one side. But it may hurt your neck. Some studies say you’re a social person if you like to sleep like this. 21. Which sleeping position often causes lower back pain? A. Freefall. B. Starfish. C. Soldier Position. D. Sleeping on Your Belly. 22. What is most probably a picture of the Soldier Position? A. B. C. D. 23. What can we learn from the passage? A. Most people sleep in the position of Starfish. B. Sleeping in the position of Freefall may hurt your neck. C. Sleeping on Your Belly can make your neck comfortable. D. Sleeping in the Soldier Position helps you fall asleep quickly. In the picture, a girl is standing on a bamboo pole (竹竿) on the river and dancing beautifully. It’s not a scene from a movie, but a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产)—bamboo drifting (独竹漂). Yang Liu, 24, is an inheritor (传承人) of bamboo drifting. She started to learn it from her grandmother when she was 7. As she was weak in health as a child, her grandmother wanted her to get into better shape through this sport. Yang threw herself into practicing bamboo drifting all year round, even in the winter cold and summer heat. “It was common for me to fall into the water when I started practicing,” recalled Yang, adding that it took her three years to learn the basic skills of bamboo drifting. In order to acquire more bamboo drifting skills, Yang had to practice countless difficult movements on a bamboo pole. Yang always considers the bamboo pole as her “best friend”. At one point, inspired by her grandmother, Yang began to combine dance with bamboo drifting. “My grandmother came up with an idea. She said that I had been practicing bamboo drifting since I was a child, so why not try to combine dance with the skill? It might be something different,” the young woman explained. Yang’s hard work gradually paid off when she was able to perfectly perform dancing with the traditional bamboo drifting skills.“I hope that more people can know about bamboo drifting and enjoy this form of art,” said Yang. 24. Why did Yang’s grandmother let her learn bamboo drifting? A. Because Yang was very talented for it. B. Because it could help Yang build up her body. C. Because it was the traditional skill of Yang’s family. D. Because Yang shows great interest in it. 25. What do we know about Yang Liu according to the passage? A. She is a little tired of bamboo drifting now. B. She hopes bamboo drifting can be known by more people. C. She used to stop practicing because it was too cold in winter. D. She spent three months learning the basic skills of bamboo drifting. 26. Which part of a newspaper might this passage come from? A. Travel. B. Education. C. Culture. D. Science. People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. A new study adds chickens to the list. It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds at once, known as food calls. They also kept the sounds for some time. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves. Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. 27. Which of the following questions can be answered in Paragraph 1? ① Whether animals have feelings? ② How many kinds of animals have feelings? ③ Why do scientists do research on animals in recent years? ④ How can we know animals’ feelings? A. ①② B. ①③ C. ②④ D. ③④ 28. Which is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chicken? A. B. C. D. *s stands for sound, and t stands for time 29. What does the underlined word “identify” mean in Paragraph 4? A. 控制 B. 隐藏 C. 识别 D. 记录 30. What is the best title for the passage? A. Animals’ Food Calls B. Happy Chickens, Sad Chickens C. Farmers’ Best Choice D. Smart Farmers, Healthy Farmers 第二节： 根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How Can You Create Luck in Everyday Life? What is luck?
