2021年河南省髙考英语总复习:阅读理解1. When I tell people I wrote a book with my dad, they usually say, "It must be nice to think of the legacy （留 F来的东西） you created with someone who means so much to you.”This was a beautiful idea, but it was not the way I, or my dad, ever thought about the cooperation. Though we created something we're proud of, "nice" is not the word either of us uses to describe the process."It was more confrontation （对抗）than cooperation, " my dad likes to say. I agree.When we landed a book deal, we began a writing journey that was more difficult than either of us had anticipated, but also far more rewarding.For almost three years, we met once or twice a week at my parents' house and talked daily to plan and outline each chapter. After these meetings, one of us would write a rough draft that the other would build on. I wanted the book to focus on positive vices （、良刁惯）: such as moderate （适度的）chocolate. However, my dad felt the book should include chapters dealing with things like walking and spending time with family. Ultimately , I saw it his way. He said the book was about more than just good vices. It was about encouraging people to enjoy life in healthy ways.Writing this book was a reminder that our family members share not only our faults but also our strengths. My dad is smart, funny, critical and caring. He has a strong passion for the truth. I hope I share these great qualities. For this book, he researched each topic with an enthusiasm I'd never seen from him, and he insisted that we constantly question and critically analyze every piece of information - even our own conclusions. He was determined to cooperate with me on a book, not because he couldn't write one on his own, but because he believed that we could create something better together than we could alone.I'm not sure if our cooperation led to better writing, but I'm sure it led to a better writing experience.

It was about five in the morning in Ontario, Canada, when Donna Strickland's phone rang. The Nobel Prize committee was on the line in Stockholm, calling to tell her she had won the prize in physics.I wondered if it was a joke, Strickland said in an interview with a Nobel official after the call. She had been asleep when the call arrived. "'Something was wrong because it came so early in the morning. But then I knew it was the right day, and it would have been a cruel joke. *'Strickland, an associate professor at the University of Waterloo, shares the honor with two other scientists for their work in the 1980s in transforming lasers (激光) into tiny tools that today have countless application. The prize money $4 million will be shared among the three. Half the prize went to Strickland and her cooperator Gerard Mourou, a professor at the Ecole Poly technique in France. The other half was awarded to Arthur Ashkin, a retiredphysicist who worked at the famous Bell Labs in the United States.Strickland's win is historic in more than one way. It's been over 55 years since a woman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. In 1903» Marie Curie became the first - ever woman to win a Nobel Prize in Physics. For the next 60 years, no women physicists were awarded. Maria Goeppert Mayer became the second woman physicist to win the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1963.Strickland herself was surprised to learn she was the third woman to receive the honor in physics. "Is that all, really? I thought there might have been more. " she said at a press conference Tuesday. "We need to celebrate women physicists, because we're out there.

Across the country, sports injuries are a safety concern for young athletes. Now, the American Medical Association (AMA) has a new set of guidelines aimed at protecting players from the danger of concussions - serious injuries caused by a blow to the head."By raising awareness of the serious risks associated with concussions and ensuring that the appropriate guidelines are in place, we can reduce the number of young athletes who may return to the game too soon, which can put their health at further risk, "said AMA Board Member Jack Resneck Jr M. D. in a statement.The policy recommends that young athletes who may have a concussion be taken off the field as soon as possible. Then, they are only to return to their sport with a doctor's written approval. The policy also sets age - specific rules for health care professionals and athletic organizations in evaluating and caring for concussions.According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a concussion is a type of traumatic (仓伤) brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This type of movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist inside the skull (颅骨). It can damage brain cells and create chemical changes in the brain.The CDC says that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries caused by sports and recreation - related activities occur in the U. S. every year. A study from the Center tor Injury Research and Policy showed that as many as 40% of high school athletes return to playing before they should.

Some parents will buy any high - tech toy if they think it will help their child, but researchers said puzzles help children with math - related skills.Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on mathematics development in young children at the University of Chicago, found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills. Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition (认知)after controlling for differences in parents' income, education and the amount of parent talk, Levine said.The researchers analyzed video recordings of 53 child - parent pairs during everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age."The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not, on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate (旋转)and translate shapes, ” Levine said in a statement.The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would, and about half of the children in the study played with puzzles at one time. Higher - income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently, and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills. However, boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls, and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than the parents of girls.The findings were published in the journal Developmental Science.(1) In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play? A. Building confidence.B. Developing spatial skills.C. Learning self - control.D. Gaining high - tech knowledge.(2) What did Levine take into consideration when designing her experiment? A.

A scientific study.C. A woman psychologist.D. A teaching program.5. With the young unable to afford to leave home and the old at risk of isolation (孤独), more families are choosing to live together.The doorway to peace and quiet, for Nick Bright at least, leads straight to his mother - in -law： she lives on the ground floor, while he lives upstairs with his wife and their two daughters.Four years ago they all moved into a three - storey Victorian house in Bristol - one of a growing number of multigenerational families in the UK living together under the same roof."rhey share a front door and a washing machine, but Rita Whitehead has her own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room on the ground floor."We floated the idea to my mum of sharing a house, " says Kathryn Whitehead.

After the cure of pneumonia, Wuhan Dad reread the letter his daughter left at the bedside, tears filled his eyes. In the second vlog series, make a video call to a friend in Wuhan, China Daily reporter Xiao Peng interviewed three Wuhan residents by video and phone, among whom three have just been released from isolation. Their lives have been transformed by pneumonia （肺炎） caused by the new coronavirus （冠状丙瑾）.The first interviewee was Tian Fuxin from Wuhan. He was admitted to hospital on January 20 and discharged from hospital on January 30 after 10 days of isolation treatment."When I was admitted to hospital, I was very anxious.
