What does it feel like to spend 40 days in a cave (洞穴) without clocks, phones or sunshine? Fifteen volunteers, from age 27 to 50, were in an experiment like that in the Lombrives cave in France. As one of the largest caves in Europe, it is about 39 kilometers long and has large open spaces inside. It is also cool in the cave—about 10℃.
The experiment tried to answer some important questions, such as how humans act in new and unusual situations. The scientists came up with the idea during the COVID-19 lockdowns (封锁). During the experiment, the volunteers needed to sleep in tents. If they wanted to drink water, they needed to get it from a well in the cave.
Because volunteers couldn’t tell the time, they slept and ate whenever they felt like it. Over time, different people got into different living habits. Forty days later, one volunteer thought he had been in the cave for just 23 days.
Most volunteers enjoyed the experience. Many were happy to take a break from their busy lives. Some of them even said they wished they could have a few more days in the cave.

Yang Jinlong, a 46-year-old performer, drives to primary schools or middle schools in Xi’an at 9 a. m. and teaches students about Shaanxi kuaiban until 6 p. m.. Then, he returns home to prepare classes for the next day.
Shaanxi kuaiban is a form of traditional Chinese storytelling in the Shaanxi dialect（方言）, to the rhythm of clapping bamboo strips（竹板）. It can be performed by a group or one person.
The art form showed up in the late Qing Dynasty（1644—1911）. Farmers used it to share their knowledge and earn money. Now people perform Shaanxi kuaiban at festivals, parties and art shows.
Yang himself first learned kuaiban at the age of 9. Before that, he often went with his father to watch kuaiban performances.
“As a young boy, I was drawn to the art form because many of the stories are about heroes. It’s easy for the audience to remember the stories since all the lines rhyme,” Yang said.
His love for kuaiban has driven him for more than 30 years. To make the art more popular, especially among young people, Yang tries to be creative. Instead of the traditional gown, he wears a suit while telling modern stories. Yang also borrows many pop elements（元素）like tap dance, ballet, jazz dance and the rhythms of popular music. His stories focus on more modern topics, like stories of heroes who have worked to reduce poverty（贫困）and members of the Chinese Olympic team.
16. How many hours does Yang Jinlong teach students every day?| A．3. | B．6. | C．9. | D．10. |

Social media(社交媒体) has its positive aspects, but it can also bring some problems.
Have you ever been bored and decided to check your We Chat moments, only to find out that your best friend is at the Great Wall or one of your classmates is eating delicious noodles at your favorite restaurant, or one of your basketball teammates is visiting the giant pandas in Sichuan? Have you had the feeling that others are enjoying life more than you are? If your answers are both “Yes”, you are experiencing FOMO—the fear of missing out.
Researchers have found that over 75%of young people are experiencing FOMO from time to time. Social media is the main culprit for it. Because it is so easy today for people to see what their friends are doing, eating, buying and talking about. And they are afraid of missing out on important and new information when they are away from social networks. However, it is impossible for us to enjoy the same activities others are enjoying on social media. Failing to realize this truth, we often let FOMO lead us to compare our lives with those of others. This comparison leaves us feeling dissatisfied. However, our lives have both good and bad moments, but all we see on social media are the picture-perfect moments others share. FOMO also makes us check social media more often, which can cause feelings of sadness, loneliness and boredom.
So what should we do if we have FOMO? Researchers advised that we face it and change our way of thinking. They also explained that taking part in social activities could help us realize that nothing bad was happening. What’s more, they suggested finding the joy in the present and not believing the unreal information or news on the Internet. “Take it as a chance to do what you really love, and turn your FOMO into your JOMO—joy of missing out,” one researcher said.
21. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 2?| A．To show what FOMO is with examples. |
| B．To find out if people suffer from FOMO. |
| C．To ask questions about people’s daily lives. |
| D．To give examples about people’s using social media. |
| A．purpose | B．cause | C．result | D．problem |
| A．Because our lives have both good and bad moments. |
| B．Because it leads us to compare our lives with those of others. |
| C．Because it is impossible for us to make friends by social media. |
| D．Because we can see the picture-prefect moments. |
①Join a voluntary group.

④Develop your hobbies.
⑤Stop believing the news on the Internet.
| A．③④⑤ | B．②③⑤ | C．①④⑤ | D．①②④ |
| A．Social media: Good or bad? | B．FOMO: Friend or enemy? |
| C．FOMO: Get out of it! | D．Social media: Guard against it! |
