My parents visited me to help with a project I’d put off -cleaning the house. Now, Mom and Dad
are--hmm, how should
put this? -- Cheap! So when I offered to pick up the cleaner, they said, “ Never mind. We have everything we need right here in the house.”
Mom pushed past me and went straight for the white vinegar(醋). I watched her remove, a dirty mark on the blanket with it. I thought it a bit strange, but less so than her smelling at my bookshelf. When one book caused her nose to blow, she walked it into the fridge.
“ That’ll clear up that unpleasant smell for a while,” she said. I nodded in agreement, although I wasn’t sure. I thought only her husband would know. I found Dad in the yard adding vodka, and some dish soap into spray bottle(喷雾瓶). “ I’m hunting weeds,” he said. “ A wine?”
“ Yes, the wine does dry them up.”
How come? They must have lost their marbles! I thought as I walked back into the house, where Mom was cleaning my shoes with banana skins.
“ Mom, what are you ....” BAM! I slipped on a banana skin. “ Ooh, my back...” “ Don’t move! I’ll get the meat tenderizer(嫩化剂) !”
However, she first pulled off my shoe, grabbed a sock and disappeared into the kitchen.I tried to run for my life, but Mom was quicker. She returned with my sock filled with meat tenderizer and water, and rubbed it on my back
Before I had a chance to call 911, something amazing happened-my back began to feel better! It was working. 该项涂黑。
Suddenly, I saw things anew. My shoes were clean. And though the blanket smelled like salad, the mark was gone. Inside the yard stood Dad, drinking his weed killer and admiring his handiwork. 21. The parents come to my house
A. to do the cleaning
B
Recently short video clips have become more and more popular on social media platform(平台). But
instead of focusing
on the number of views they get, short video clips should be positive and pass on correct values, says James, a socialist of Princeton University.
Several years ago, some people predicted that short video clips would be the stars of the mobile internet. Time has proved them right: A recent report shows that the number of short video clip viewers online will reach 350 million by the end of 2019 Thanks to the huge number of viewers, it is no longer rare for one single short clip to be viewed hundreds of millions of times online. More importantly, an increasing number of companies have been using short video clips to advertise their goods.
Yet problems have come up, too. Some users make inelegant(不雅的) clips to attract viewers. That causes possible dangers to society if the clips are not under control. Especially since the main viewers are youngsters in their 20s, even teens. \they might be led to the wrong direction. Short video clips should pass on correct values, \ Luckily, the government has already taken measures to direct the short video clips,and some local schools have even made short video clips to educate teenagers not to break the law. Hopefully, the short video clip platforms will do their part in clearing up improper or illegal videos.

How many faces do you keep in your memory? You may easily be able to list a few hundred faces that you'll recognize on sight. For the first time, researchers have discovered the number of faces that people remember; the findings come from a small study of 25 people aged 18 to 61 years old. The answer: 5,000 on average and up to 10,000.
In the study, the participants(参与者)were asked to make lists of people from their lives whose faces they could picture if they saw them in person. The scientists also asked them to tell famous people from thousands of photos. Those tested could recognize 5,000 faces on average as Being “familiar” to them.
From the findings, it’s clear that face recognition ability differs widely between persons. Some people could remember as few as 1, 000 faces and some as many as 10,000 and some people clearly have a harder time than others recognizing faces. For example, the actor Brad Pitt joined in an interview in 2018 He admitted having difficulty remembering people that he’d met before.
Studies have also shown that abilities to recognize faces can be different between cultures, and face blindness may be higher when people are looking at faces of another race. Future research could examine whether age plays a part in
facial-recall ability or in the number of faces that we recognize, Rob Jenkins a psychologist at the University of York, said in public.
“ It will be interesting to see whether there is an age for the highest number of faces we know, Jenkins added. “Perhaps we gather faces throughout our lifetimes, or perhaps we start to forget some after we reach a certain age.”
28. Why does the author ask the question in Paragraph 1?
A. To question the readers on the study. C. To lead the readers to the main topic.
A. No one gives full play to face memory. B. Face blindness results in serious disease. C.Not all people are alike in face recognition. D. Many actors go through great memory loss A. How long the memory can last. B. When one’s memory is at its best.
B.To draw the readers’ interest in faces. D. To express the readers’ feeling of surprise
29.What does the author suggest by mentioning Brad Pitt in Paragraph 3?
30. According to Jenkins, what will the future research be about?
