2 . The whole world knows them: actors, singers, models, athletes and TV personalities. If I use social media, I get too familiar.
I have nothing against the entertainment industry and celebrities. The problem is that by idolizing the entertainment industry so much, we sometimes completely forget about the things that are truly important and that are changing our world. You probably know who Leonardo DiCaprio is—a very talented American actor and film producer. But then you probably don’t know who Cori Bargmann is. Bargmann is a scientist who is uncovering the causes of Alzheimer’s and autism, which have been unknown for years.
What I think is wrong is that DiCaprio’s net worth is $260 million dollars, while Bargmann’s is less than $l million dollars. DiCaprio is definitely talented and has worked hard to give us good films, but Bargmann is working for something that can save thousands of humans who are suffering. And just because our society prefers to idolize the entertainment industry instead of science, she gets paid much less than she deserves.
But if it would benefit the world to invest all of our time and attention toward scientists, why don’t we make scientists our new “celebrities”?
First of all, we like being entertained. We love pretty faces and easy-to-digest information. It’s easier to care about simple stuff rather than scientific, complicated things. Another reason is that most scientists don’t like being in the spotlight. They’ re mostly reserved and like to have privacy. They’ re busy people, which explains why they haven’t attracted the media the same way that performers have. Also, people have free will and the right to be interested in whatever they want to be.
However, studies have shown that young people are more interested in a scientific career as a result of COVID-19. The pandemic has also made known some scientists who have suddenly started appearing on TV and guiding us on how to get protected from this deadly virus. Maybe that is the start of the development of a different point of view which will be in favor of science for future generations.

4 . “Girls are weak, and boys are strong. This is what is being subconsciously communicated to hundreds of millions of young boys and girls all over the world, just like it was with me,” said American actor Justin Baldoni. As a boy, all he wanted was to be accepted by other people. That acceptance meant he had to pretend to be strong when he was weak, confident when he felt insecure, and tough when he was actually hurting.
Is that a healthy lifestyle? A member of the CPPCC Standing Committee might say “yes”. In his proposal, he spoke of a need to “prevent the feminization of male youths”. In response to his call, China’s Ministry of Education has recently demanded that schools should hire more physical education teachers and improve teaching methods to cultivate masculinity in students.
The response has been widely debated online, with many people saying that it reinforces gender stereotypes. The state broadcaster CCTV wrote on its Weibo account, “Education is not simply about cultivating men and women. It’s more important to develop a willingness to take responsibility.” You might be wondering now: What is masculinity, and why is this so controversial?
Well, by itself, “masculinity” refers to the qualities traditionally considered to be typical of men. While there is not really a single “correct” set of qualities, the term is often associated with strength, courage, assertiveness, and emotional control. Sometimes, however, these seemingly admirable qualities can be extended in unrealistic ways. But boys are also human. Blindly asking them to control their feelings “like a man” can only increase their stress when they grow up.
As an educator who has spent years teaching in China, I agree that attaching more importance to physical education would definitely benefit students. Sports provide opportunities for physical fitness. More importantly, they can help develop lifelong skills, such as leadership and communication skills. However, putting the emphasis on masculinity is far from a sound reason for which to do so.
It is unnecessary for all boys to build up their muscles, but it is essential that they all learn how to be strong inside. It is also fine for boys to cry and to show their weakness. Schools should work on equipping students with the skills and values they will need to be successful in life, not reinforcing stereotypes of masculinity borrowed from a bygone age.
1. The underlined expression “masculinity” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “________”| A．manly qualities | B．potential abilities |
| C．self-centredness | D．steady strength |
| A．It is necessary to prevent the feminization of male youths. |
| B．Physical education should be paid more attention to. |

| A．We should do everything we can to guarantee students’ health. |
| B．Schools should differentiate between boys and girls while educating them. |
| C．It is important to prepare students with necessary skills and right values. |

5 . What is citizen science? Citizen science generally involves groups of people or amateur scientists helping gather data for use in nature or wildlife studies to support conservation. So whether you give your time online, or sign up for a practical project with a wildlife or nature organization close to home, your generosity and kindness will not only help nature, but do you the world of good as well.
When we give we feel good. We experience what scientists describe as the’ warm glow effect’or ‘helper’s high’, now known to be caused by a release of endorphins(内啡肽) in the brain. Research into this effect discovered that giving to charities activates the areas of the brain associated with pleasure, social connection and trust.Put simply,altruism(利他行为)is a proven path to good mental health.
When our altruism is related to nature, and in particular when we give our time and effort, the rewards for our well being, or our health and happiness, are far-reaching. Whether we’re working to maintain freshwater ponds at the weekend, or contributing to a citizen science survey by monitoring wildlife in our back garden, our care and kindness has the power to lift our mood and strengthen our self-respect, especially when we learn new skills and earn the added satisfaction of accomplishing new tasks.
The hands-on aspect of taking part in nature and wildlife conservation projects has also been shown to reduce stress, anxiety and low mood. In 2020 a three-year study by the uk Wildlife Trusts found that 95 percent of participants who reported low mental well-being at the start of volunteering, recorded an improvement in their mental health after six weeks, which increased further after 12 weeks.
Alan Murray, head of volunteering at the RSPB, also agrees: “We believe our volunteers keep coming back because of nature’s power to restore, uplift and inspire and we’re confident that the more time people spend connecting with wildlife the more they feel moved to protect it."

6 . Every minute, every hour, every day, we are losing precious time to our devices (设备).Technology has taken over much of our lives,especially over the last two years as school and work went online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
If you feel an urge to jump on social media or scroll websites when you have a few spare minutes, don’t feel bad. This is normal.
Another great way to help reduce the desire to check your device is to turn off notifications (通 知).In the 1890s, Russian scientist Ivan Pavlov conducted experiments to measure the build-up of saliva (唾液) in the mouths of dogs under a variety of conditions. Like the dogs in the experiments, people are conditioned to respond each time they hear a ping.
As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind.

Sometimes I get the feeling when living in a city makes people much lonely than before. People always feel stranger cannot be trusted. And that is not normal to start talking to anyone or even smile at someone. I want change this. Last week, I went skating. A man ran by smile. He said something to us about doing sports and that he hoped to be able to finish his run. I smiled back and said that he certain would. And today, a family cycled by when I am in the park. One of the girls waved at me with a smile, and I waved back enthusiastically. I believe such small gestures can change into the world we live in.
