is officially the worlds most popular emoji,according to researchers from Adobe(ADBE)who surveyed 7,000 users across the United States,the United Kingdom,Germany,France,Japan,Australia,and South Korea.The“thumbs up”emoji came in second,followed by the“red heart”emoji.The flirtatious“wink and kiss”and“sad face with a tear”emojis respectively rounded out the top five.The software maker on Thursday released the findings from its 2021 Global Emoji Trend Report ahead ofWorld Emoji Day on Saturday.Adobes latest Emoji Trend report also examined the three most misunderstood emojis in the world.The“eggplant”symbol edged out the“peach”and the“clown”emojis respectively as the most confusing for users.The vast majority of emoji users(90%)believe the modern day hieroglyphs make it easier for them toexpress themselves.Eighty nine percent of respondents said emojis simplify communicating across languagebarriers.And 67%said they think people who use emojis are friendlier,funnier and cooler than those who dont.Aslight majority of respondents said they are more comfortable expressing emotions through emojis than talking onthe phone or in person.More than half of global emoji users(55%)said using emojis in communications haspositively impacted their mental health.Seventy six percent of those surveyed said emojis are an importantcommunication tool for creating unity,respect and understanding.And 88%said they feel more empathetictoward people who use emojis.1.What are the three most popular emojis according to the passage?A.clown thumbs up laugh out loudB.laugh out loud thumbs up wink and kissC.laugh out loud thumbs up red heartD.thumbs up red heart sad face with a tear2.Which emoji is the most confusing one for users?A.Peach.B.Eggplant.C.Clown.D.Wink and kiss.3.Which of the following best describes the attitude of most people surveyed to emojis?A.Favorable.B.Passive.C.Indifferent.D.Doubtful.BThe first patient who died on my watch was an older man with a faulty heart.We tried to slow it down withtreatment,but it suddenly stopped beating completely.Later,whenever I would have a case like that one,I foundmyself second-guessing my clinical management.However,it turns out that thinking twice may actually causemore harm than good.In a working paper,Emory University researchers found that when doctors delivering a baby have a bad result,they are more likely to switch to a different delivery method with the next patient,often unnecessarily andsometimes with worse results.Because doctors make so many decisions that have serious consequences,thefalloutfrom second-guessingappears especially large for us.A 2006 study found that if a patient had a bleed after being prescribed(开药)warfarin,the physician was about 20%less likely to prescribe later patients the blood thinner that prevents strokes(中风).However,if a patient was not on warfarin and had a stroke physicians were still no more likely to prescribewarfarin to their other patients.These findings highlight interesting behavioral patterns in doctors.In the blood-thinner study,doctors weremore affected by the act of doing harm(prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting doctors were moreaffected by the act of doing harm(prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting a patient)and less affected byletting harm happen(not prescribing a blood thinner and the patient having a stroke).Yet a stroke is often morepermanent and damaging than a bleed.But this phenomenon is not unique to medicine.Overreaction to Fearsome Risks holdstrue for broadersociety.For instance,sensational headlines about shark attacks on humans in Florida in 2001 caused a panic and ledthe state to prohibit shark-feeding expeditions.Yet shark attacks had actually fallen that year and,according to thestudy,such a change was probably unnecessary given the extremely small risk of such an attack happening.Humans are likely to be influenced by emotional and often irrational(不理性的)thinking when processinginformation,bad events and mistakes.As much as we dont want to cause an unfortunate event to happen again,we need to be aware that a worst situation that can be imagined doesnt necessarily mean we did anything wrong.When we overthink,we fail to rely on thinking based on what we know or have experienced.Instead,we mayinvoluntarily overanalyze and come to the wrong conclusion.I have treated dozens of patients who presented with the same illnesses as my first patient,who died morethan a year ago.Instead of second-guessing myself,I trusted my clinical instinct(本能)and stayed the course.Every one of those patients survived.You should trust your instinct in your life,too.4.The first two paragraphs suggest that_.A.bad medical outcomes affect doctorsB delivering babies can be difficult workC.some doctors are not very experiencedD.doctors sometimes make silly mistakes5.In the blood-thinner study,doctors_.A.tend to prescribe less effective medicineB.are more concerned about the patients safetyC.become less confident in writing a prescriptionD.believe a stroke is more treatable than a bleeding6.What does the underlined word fallout in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.ResultB.BenefitC.DifferenceD.Absence7.The author will probably agree that_.A.we should not doubt our own decisionsB.our experience will pave way for our futureC.humans are emotional and irrational on the wholeD.instincts dont necessarily lead to wrong directionsCHidden beneath the surface in the roots of Earths astonishing and diverse plant life,there exists a biologicalsuperhighway linking together the members of the plant kingdom in what researchers call the wood wide web.The network is comprised of thin threads of fungus(真菌)that grow outwards underground up to a fewmeters from its partnering plant,meaning that all of the plant life within a region likely connected to one another.The partnership is beneficial for both parties involved,plants provide carbohydrates(碳水化合物)to the fungusesand in exchange,the funguses aid in gathering water and providing nutrients to its partnering plant.A study conducted by Rensen Zeng of theSouthChinaAgriculturalUniversityfound that this also allowed forplants to warn one another of potential harm.The study showed Broad Beans used the fungal network to spy onone another for upcoming danger.Like our Internet,this fungal connectivity is also full of crime.Some plants,such as Golden Marigolds havebeen found to release poisons into the network to slow down the growth of surrounding plants in the fight forwater and light.Other plants,such as the Phantom Orchid,do not have the chlorophyll(叶绿素)and must get thenecessary nutrients from surrounding plants.Research suggests that animals such as insects and worms may be able to detect slight exchanges of nutrientsthrough the network,allowing them to more easily find delicious roots to feed on;however,this has not beenconclusively made clear in experimentation.The more we learn about this phenomenon,the more ourunderstanding of the plant life of our planet will continue to change.Perhaps one day,we may be able to map outthese complex networks entirely.8.What is the function of the first paragraph?A.To explain the aim of the web.B.To introduce the main topic.C.To give definition of diverse life.D.To show the importance of plants.9.The criminal behavior of plants can be seen as a way to_.A.compete for survivalB.gather more waterC.take in sunlightD.break natural rules10.What does the last paragraph suggest?A.Animals can also feed on the fungus.B.Nutrient exchanges are too slight to detect.C.No experiment can prove the phenomenon.D.More needs to be done to work out the network.11.Which can be the best title for the text?A.The Partnership between PlantsB.The Unknown Roots of the EarthC.The Superhighway Linking the PlantsD.The Mysterious Map Changing the WorldDGuangzhououtbreak linked to strains

certainly possible.But its also possible that they havemastered the art of seeing stress as a normal,acceptable and even positive part of life_17_._18_,according to the researchers.It is not stress itself but the belief that stress is harmful that iskilling people.Evidence suggests the way people experience stress seems to have an impact on whether stress isreally damaging or not.To understand how that can be the case,consider what happens to the body under stress.The heart races,breathing quickens and the brain goes into high alert.Sense also heightens._19_You get a burst of energyand sharper focus so you can deal with the threat and survive.That“good”stress can give you an advantage in not only playing a competitive sport,but also speaking public,interviewing for a job or even

situations arc harmful to peopleB.But in fact many people somehow manage to deal with stress just fineC.Experiencing stressful situation doesnt necessarily mean it is damagingD.With that view,experts
