Food Taboos Around the World

●Jamaican Taboos

When it comes to raising children，there are some definite food-related taboos（禁忌）Jamaican people believe in. It is believed that if children eat chicken before they learn to speak,they will never talk. Eating half an egg will make the child grow into a thief and drinking milk from a baby bottle will turn them into an alcoholic.

●Nigerian Taboos

Much like the Jamaican taboos,many Nigerians' taboos revolve around children. While they don't believe children who eat eggs will turn into thieves,they have particularly strong feelings about coconut milk. Another widely held belief is that children who drink this type of milk will become unintelligent.

●Russian Taboos

Old world traditions are very much alive in Russia when it comes to traditional dating. If you are hoping to court a lady at a restaurant,do not expect to go Dutch. If you are the one who arranges the date, you are expected to pay for everything, as most Russian women won't even bring their wallets on a formal date.

●Chinese Taboos

If you travel to China,minding your chopsticks is important. After finishing a meal at a restaurant, do not leave your chopsticks sticking up in the left-over rice at the bottom of your bowl. That practice is employed when families offer a meal to their ancestors' ghosts at family shrines（神龛）but Chinese believe doing so in a restaurant would bother the owner with a terrible curse. For more global food taboos,click here and check out the full list.

21. What is least recommended for 2-year-olds in Nigeria?

A. Half an egg.       B. Chicken.           C. Coconut milk.      D. Bottled milk.

22. Which country stresses the placement of eating tools as part of its food taboos?

A. Jamaica.          B. Nigeria.            C. Russia.            D. China.

23. Where is the text most likely from?

A. A food brochure.                         B. A travel website.

C. A geography textbook.                    D. An academic journal.

B

One Sunday in 2021,when my son,Leo,was six,we ran into one of his friends,Izzie.They decided to play ——but what?"I have a great idea,"Leo said."Let's fall in love!OK?"Izzie took a half-second to consider this proposal, then replied“No.”She wanted to play tag.

Leo has always been the kind of child who looks for close connections, often in the wrong places. It sometimes feels as though he's been looking for a soulmate since he was a toddler（学步孩童）.

One day,he came home from school and immediately grabbed his iPad to ask Siri:"Can you fall in love when you're just a kid?"

Siri,Apple's voice-controlled personal assistant,is great at opening apps or setting alarms,but I

was unfamiliar with her philosophies on love.

“What did Siri say?”I asked him.

"She said,'Here's what I found on the web!'"Leo reported.

This was hardly the first time I'd heard Leo in conversation with Siri. Over the years, he's relied on Siri as a source of comfort,advice,emotional support, and guidance. Their relationship blossomed when the pandemic forced us all to shelter in place.

At first,Leo mostly asked Siri factual questions, then the personal ones. As time passed, he began to engage on more existential matters. Siri has,in some ways,been able to absorb some of Leo's concerns—in a way that,as his mother,I can't, at least not with the same coolness.

Children are overwhelmed with emotions such as grief, fear, love,and a desire for connection. If Leo's talks with Siri confronted me with the unknowable and unanswerable,they also made me frustrated at my own limitations as a parent.

There are many challenges to parenthood,among which the biggest is the desire to shelter our children from the painfulness of reality. But helping our children navigate reality is surely more helpful than sheltering them from it.Perhaps the best we can do is give them a tablet?

I'm afraid I don't have the answer. Maybe I should ask Siri.

24. What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning lzzie?

A. Leo's longing for intimacy.

B. Leo's close bond with lzzie.

C. Leo's eagerness to have fun.

D. Leo's effort to make new friends.

25. What would Leo ask Siri when they first talked?

A. Siri, have you ever been in love?

B. Siri, what is your favorite hobby?

C. Siri, what does it mean to be alive?

D. Siri, how many stars are in the Milky Way?

26. Which word best describes the author's attitude to Siri?

A. Curious.           B. Disappointed.      C. Appreciative.       D. Worried.

27. What does the author suggest parents do when raising children?

A. Be a good role model.                   B.Promote independence.

C. Communicate effectively.                D. Practice positive discipline.

C

The history of humankind is littered with crafty and seasoned liars. Lying, it turns out, is something that most of us are highly skilled in. We lie with ease,in ways big and small,to strangers, co-workers,friends,and loved ones.Being dishonest is woven into our very fabric,so much so that it would be truthful to say that to lie is human.

Like learning to walk and talk,lying is something of a developmental milestone. While parents often find their children's lies troubling —for they signal the beginning of a loss of innocence—Kang Lee,a psychologist,sees the emergence of the behavior in children as a comforting sign that their cognitive（认知的）growth is on track.

To study lying in children,Lee and his colleagues use a simple experiment. They ask kids to guess the identity of toys hidden from their view,based on an audio clue. The sound played has nothing to do with the toy.“So you play Beethoven,but the toy's a car,"Lee explains. The experimenter leaves the room, using the excuse of taking a phone call —a lie for the sake of science—and asks the child not to peek at the toy. Returning, the experimenter asks the child for the answer,following up with the question:“Did you peek or not?”

Most children can't resist peeking. The percentage of the children who peek and then provide false statements about it depends on their age. Among two-year-old, only 30 percent are mendacious. Among three-year-old, 50 percent lie. And by eight, about 80 percent claim they didn't peek.

What drives this increase in lying is the development of a child's ability to put himself or herself in someone else's shoes. Known as theory of mind,this is the facility we acquire for understanding the beliefs, intentions, and knowledge of others. What then might be the best way to block the rapid advance of untruths into our lives?The answer isn't clear. Technology has opened up a new frontier for dishonesty,adding a 21st-century twist to the age-old problem.

28. What can we learn about the human tendency to lie?

A. It is a rare occurrence.

B. It is part of human nature.

C. It emerges in adulthood.

D. It results from human greed.

29. Which statement will Kang Lee probably agree with?

A. Children who lie are more likely to fail.

B.Parents should prevent children from lying.

C. Lying in children suggests a normal growth.

D. Lying is a sign of a child's loss of innocence.

30. What were the children tasked to do in the experiment?

A. Determine the names of the hidden items.

B.Provide false statements about their actions.

C. Hide toys from the view of the experimenter.

D. Guess the link between toys and sound clues.

31. What does the underlined word "mendacious"mean in paragraph 4?

A. Untruthful.       B. Trustworthy.        C. Irresponsible.        D. Cooperative.

D

You jerk（猛然一动）awake in the middle of the night in confusion. Is there a figure standing in the corner of the room?Your brain begs your legs to move,but nothing happens.The anxiety increases. Your eyes scan the room. Just as you're about to hit peak panic,you sit up and the figure disappears.

You've just experienced sleep paralysis（瘫痪），which is the name experts give to all sorts of weird things that occur during sleep. It happens when the brain temporarily disables the body to prevent it from acting out the vivid dreams occurring during REM(rapid eye movement)sleep. It often comes with a feeling of immobility,and a sense of choking.The good news is,it's absolutely normal,even if it's terrifying.

But when sleep paralysis happens outside of deep sleep—when a person is just dozing off—it can be“disruptive of the architecture of sleep,” said Baland Jalal, a researcher who investigates the phenomenon. That could lead to more sleep paralysis.

While not everyone who has sleep paralysis experiences hallucinations（幻觉），seeing a person or a ghost in the room is the most common vision,said Jalal. The mechanisms behind sleep paralysis remain unclear,but research indicates that certain risk factors may increase the likelihood of experiencing a jerk,including extreme exercise before sleep,inadequate sleep, emotional stress and worry, and excessive stimulant consumption(like caffeine and nicotine), especially later in the day.

"For most people,it is not indicative of any kind of disease. If you are really worried about it, regular sleep and other simple relaxation techniques,like meditation, deep breathing and yoga, may help,"said Dr.Nathaniel Watson,president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. While the experience feels frightening,the episodes last only a few seconds or minutes at most. Most people slip out of it as quickly as they fell into it,he said.

32. What is sleep paralysis?

A. A frightening dream that interrupts sleep.

B. A physical symptom of anxiety disorders.

C. A mental disease that affects sleep quality.

D. A brief state of being conscious but frozen.

33. What do people who have sleep paralysis often experience?

A. Involuntary cough.                     B.Unreal sensation.

C. Sharpened vision.                      D. Sustained immobility.

34. What does Dr.Nathaniel Watson say about sleep paralysis?

A.It is caused by inadequate sleep.

B. It can be a warning signal of diseases.

C.It is a temporary disturbing experience.

D. It can be prevented by extreme exercise.

35.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A. Common Myths About Sleep Paralysis

B. Sleep Paralysis: How It Affects Sleep Patterns

C. Ways to Prevent and Cope with Sleep Paralysis

D.Sleep Paralysis:Why We Jerk Awake and Can't Move

You know the scenario（情况）.It could be in an online meeting. The meeting leader asks everyone to briefly introduce themselves. Suddenly, your brain goes into hyper drive. What should I say about myself？

__37__If you are not sure what to share, your name and job title is a great place to start. Example:Nice to meet you all. My name is Michael and I'm the creative director. I work in the Brooklyn office. Past

That's it for the self-introduction framework. The next time you're in a meeting and someone says, "Let's go around the table and introduce ourselves,"you know what to do.__40__Then smile and listen to everyone else until it's your turn.You got this!

A. And they can be easy to do.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

My adventure short story took place in Nepal,where I did the Mohare Danda Trek — which was no easy feat;however,in my opinion,it is truly one of the best hiking trails in the world. The Mohare Danda is one of Nepal's newest treks, opened in 2010 as an Eco-trek to help support and develop the Parbat and Myagdi districts.

I've always enjoyed such kind of hikes as my friends and I conquer one destination after another. As you gaze upon the mountain peaks,interact with locals, and take in the nature that surrounds you, it's hard not to feel immense gratitude for such adventures. This is particularly true when we reached the top of Mohare Danda at 3,313 meters(10,869feet)and realized just how far we'd come.

It was a stunning hike,though my first day got off to a difficult start as I found myself violently ill. Ascending（爬升）higher and higher，sweat pouring down my face and my backpack threatening to pull me to the ground,I stopped constantly to gasp for breath and throw up quite a bit — until we reached the high altitude tea house where we'd be staying the night. The accommodation was rough, to say the least,which was a small family-run hotel with squat toilets, spiders, and no showers.

While the group went in for tea,I laid on the ground,nearly crying from the physical pain from the challenging hike and discomfort from the sickness. At that moment, I truly didn't think I could do it. But then I opened my eyes to the beauty that surrounded me— scattered wild flowers all over the mountains,feasting yaks and buffaloes,high-altitude villages and the stunning terrain of the Annapurna Himalayas,which were the type of beauty you truly can't find anywhere else —and realized that if I gave up now I'd never forgive myself.

The hotel owner was very kind,who brought me warm water and some medicine. He also suggested that I bring some oxygen just in case,and I did so,which turned out to be life-saving.
