In the years of my growing up, Dad was hard on me. He made sure I made my bed and did my homework. As a school girl and young adult, I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A's and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as "successful" as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.

He would call in advance to make sure there was no alcohol at the party. I got so angry with him for laying down the law. I would scream, "I hate you!" Dad would yell back, "Good! I don't care!" Deep down I knew he did.

One time at a party, I drank too much alcohol and got so sick. I said, "Call my dad." Next thing, Dad was carrying me to the car. I woke up the next morning, thinking I would definitely be criticized. As expected, I got a roasting, but I now understand why I need discipline.

Dad was 29 when he got his big roles in films. I had an early start at the age of nine with a role in a 1990s TV series, but it wasn't until I finished film studies that I pursued my career as an actress. Like those early days for Dad, I faced lots of rejections. Working in such a competitive industry, I've sometimes thought, "I can't do this any more."

Once, after a trip to Hollywood, I returned to Australia so depressed and spent months in my bedroom painting, listening to Eckhart Tolle's music and trying to find myself again. Dad sat me down and said, "Alice, I know it's hard, but it's all about persistence(坚持不懈)."

Now I get to work with Dad a lot, which I love. We are both enthusiastic about acting, which comes from us being so interested in people. If it weren't for Dad, I wouldn't be where I am today. He's my biggest fan, and when you have that in your life you can go a long way.

Do you sometimes find yourself drawing random patterns and designs during meetings and lectures? Some people believe it shows you aren't listening or paying attention. However, there are studies which claim the opposite(相反的)，and that doodling(乱涂乱画)might actually be beneficial.

Doodling seems to be everywhere. In the past it was seen as a mindless activity and a product of the absent-minded. However, in 2016, an article on the Harvard University website discussed the idea that random drawings may assist memory-keeping and concentration.

The article stressed that 26 of 44 American presidents were known to doodle, with Ronald Reagan famous for drawing cowboys. A 2009 study conducted by psychologist Jackie Andrade asked 40 people to listen to a "dull and confusing' voice message. Half of the group were asked to doodle and shade in a picture. Those who did were able to recall 29% more of the information contained in the message.

Some experts believe that accepting your creative and artistic sides during meetings may help you to concentrate. Jesse Prinz, a famous professor of philosophy, actively encourages his students to doodle. And it might not just be good for your concentration. An artist now as Mr Doodle has made a career out of his scribbles(涂鸦).He sells his art online and also goes to people's homes to decorate their walls.

It seems that random drawing to aid concentration might be becoming more of a thing. People like Sunni Brown, an advocate for doodling, teach adults how to scribble in the workplace. So,the next time you see someone randomly drawing pictures during a meeting, it might be a sign that they are listening more than you think.

1. （1） What's the common belief about doodling?

   A . A chance to show one's creativity. B . A sign of being absent-minded. C . A way to communicate effectively. D . An approach to improving memory.
3. （2） Why are American presidents mentioned in paragraph 3?

   A . To arouse people's interest in the study. B . To encourage the public to draw everywhere. C . To introduce more studies about doodling. D . To make the new finding more convincing,
5. （3） How are the benefits of doodling proved in paragraph 4?

   A . By giving examples. B . By comparing opinions. C . By listing numbers. D . By analyzing facts.
7. （4） Which section of a website is the text most likely from?

   A . Health. B . Research. C . Culture. D . Education.

Japan's government announced Tuesday, April 13, 2021 that it would start releasing treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean in two years.

It's a move that's fiercely opposed by fishermen, residents and Japan's neighbors.

15 April, the first meeting of the China-ROK dialogue and cooperation mechanism of maritime affairs was held. The two countries urged Japan to fully consult with international institutions and neighboring countries, and cautiously handle the issue on the basis of participation by relevant countries and international institutions. This is the common position of the two sides. To protect the health of their own people and international marine environment, China and the ROK, as Japan's close neighbors and stakeholders, expressed grave concerns and strong dissatisfaction. This is perfectly natural and justified.

Assessment report of the IAEA experts says that the treated water from the Fukushima nuclear plant contains other radionuclides apart from tritium. According to Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the nuclear wastewater contains a total of 62 radionuclides. In August 2018, environmentalists found by analyzing data released by TEPCO that iodine-129 levels went off the chart for 60 times in the year 2017. The amount of strontium in the water is also well above the limit. It is reported that Canada has detected radioactivecaesium-134 in salmon from its west coast. In waters near Hawaii, the amount of radioactive materials is twice it was before. These are signs that nuclear pollution from Fukushima may have already spread to North America.

The oceans are not Japan's trash can; and the Pacific Ocean is not Japan's sewer. Japan should not expect the world to pay the bill for its treatment of wastewater. The lesson from Japan's Minamata disease is not far behind us. It should reevaluate the issue and control releasing the wastewater before reaching agreement with all stakeholders and the IAEA through full consultations. China reserves the right to make further reactions.

1. （1） Which of the following will the author agree with?

   A . Japan will pour untreated radioactive water into Pacific Ocean. B . Either China or ROK stands opposite to Japan. C . The nuclear wastewater was predicted to contain 62 radionuclides. D . Japan's Minamata disease has taught us a lesson.
3. （2） What is the attitude of Japan towards the meeting?

   A . Approving B . Disapproving C . Not mentioned D . Neutral
5. （3） What does the underlined expression "went off the chart" mean?

   A . set off the anger of the public B . were much higher than the standard C . went against the requirement of the international institution. D . disappeared from the rank chart for qualification
7. （4） What's the best title of the passage?

   A . Japan shocked the world by releasing radioactive water. B . Japan plans to put the treated nuclear wastewater into the Pacific. C . The Pacific Ocean-Japan's trash producer? D . Is Japan going to reevaluate its behaviour?

From the dawn of civilization, paper records have been a method of keeping track of important and necessary documentation. A common experience throughout the world's record keeping has been the necessity to ensure that all documents are kept together, and none are lost.

  These included tying ribbons through the paper, and melting wax to secure the papers in place. For nearly 600 years, these were the methods used to secure papers.

  In 1835, a machine that could mass-produce straight pins was invented by Howe J. L. , an American inventor. Although straight pins （大头针）were originally designed for sewing and tailoring, people began using them as a quick and easy way to secure papers. In 1899 he patented the device, which consisted of a wire bent into a particularly shaped hoop for the purpose of securing papers.

During this time, however, the paperclip （回形针）was not a widely distributed device. Therefore, the Gem Manufacturing Company of England developed a machine to manufacture and standardize the paperclip design.

Today the paperclip is a famous invention used throughout offices, schoolrooms, and business throughout the world.

A. The next paper invention was that of the straight pin.

B. Before the paper clip, people had to be creative to keep paper together.

C. The humble item only came into popular usage around the mid-19th century.

D. Later, inspired by the straight pin, Norwegian Vaaler J. came up with the idea of the first paperclip.

E. This manufacturing development allowed for the expansion of the modern paperclip worldwide.

F. Being a wonder of simplicity and function, the paperclip remains a standard office supply throughout the world.

G. Therefore, from the early 13th century people had created various methods to ensure documents were kept together.
