10、iking it. in the past, hugs were also something you couldnt refuse. again, it didnt seem like a big deal at the time. there were circumstances(境况) in which it was polite to offer a hug or accept one. if you didnt enjoy this, it was too bad.however, this isnt the case now.these days theres something

11、called bodily autonomy(身体自治权), which i know about thanks to a video. now, ive learned that hugs are the subject of a small but fierce debate about parenting.kids hug each other. and sometimes, they knock each other down. several years ago, a friends two-year-old was sent home from a day care center

12、with a note pointing out that he had hugged a friend and that the friend felt “uncomfortable”. my friend and i laughed, thinking the other mother was overreacting. thats what i used to think.there was a kid who hugged my kid and she didnt like it. this happened several times. he asked to give her a

13、kiss and she rudely said no. a complaint came in from the kids parent that her rudeness had hurt his feelings. and i made it clear that my daughter wasnt put on this earth to comfort her needy son. she was protecting her sons feelings and i was protecting my daughters. i learned that this wasnt an o

14、verreaction.but it struck home more deeply than i might have expected. i showed my daughter the video about bodily autonomy(身体自治权). it was a cartoon movie showing kids how to politely decline unwanted physical contact. a lot of parenting culture is fussy(大惊小怪的), but this felt different: a new way of

15、 socializing - particularly girl children - to expand the range of what they can politely refuse. i was satisfied with how great it felt.21. what did the author use to think of childrens being given hugs?a. reasonable.b.abnormal.c.unnecessary.d. guilty22. what will the author now consider first when

16、 it comes to kids hugging?a.her role in parenting.b.her own childs feelings.c.parents social responsibility.d.friendships between children.23.what can children mainly learn from the video according to the author?a.one should treat others fairly.b.parenting culture is updated.c.one has the right to s

17、ay no.d.physical contact is harmful.bwhen you want to hear music while youre out, you just put on the earphones and choose the song on an app and listen. you probably dont think too much about it. but a generation ago, if you wanted to listen to music, you very likely did it through a sony walkman,

18、which made tapes portable(可携带的) .in early 1979, sony chairman akio morita invited engineers, planners and public people to a meeting to show off a modified version of a small-sized recorder used by journalists known as the sony pressman. “this is the product that will satisfy those young people who

19、want to listen to music all day,” morita told the group. “theyll take it everywhere with them, and if we put a playback-only headphone stereo(立体声音响) like this on the market, itll be a hit.” on july 1, 1979, sony launched the blue and silver walkman tps-l2 in japan and sold it for around 33, 000 yen,

20、 roughly $150 at the time. a year later, it came to the u.s. while some people who predicted this expensive device wouldnt sell because it didnt record, that first walkman became a huge hit.50,000 devices were sold in two months. but more than that, it changed the way people listened to music.“the w

21、alkman did a couple of things in one,” tech historian stewart wolpin says. “it was so much easier to carry than previous tape-based portables. and more importantly, it came with stereo headphones designed for music. the music sounded like youd brought your home stereo with you, and it was yours and

22、yours only. the headphone stereo phenomena defined (定义) the free, some would say selfish,me generation of the 1980s. ”through the years, sony had brought out many versions of the walkman: portable cd models, “gum-stick”versions with a rechargeable battery and models that supported “metal” tapes.sony

23、 eventually went with models that could handle mp3s as well, but it was late to the game.in the new century, the company relinquished the portable music throne(宝座) to apples ipod and itunes.looking back,sony kept the electronics business separate from the recording and film divisions.”this kept sony

24、 from building an itunes/ipod-like complete music player/music store solution.” wolpin says. “sony would have been the only competitor to apple.” on its 40th anniversary, the walkman is a faded brand, but one that still brings back mostly fond memories to a certain generation.24. why did sony hold t

25、he meeting in early 1979？a. to show how to use its new product.b. to ask for advice on its new product.c. to sell its new product at a high price.d.to make its new product better known.25.what can we learn about the first walkman？a.it turned out to be a big success at last.b.its function was doubted

26、 by many people.c.it was ignored by american people at first.d.it required further improvement to be popular.26.what does stewart wolpin mainly want to tell us in paragraph 4?a.advantages of the walkman.b.the history of the “me” generation.c.disadvantages of tape-based portables.d.the reason for hea

27、dphone stereo phenomena.27.what does the underlined word “relinquished” in paragraph 5 most probably mean？a. challenged. b. created. c. deserted. d.developed.cthe coronavirus pandemic(冠状病毒流行病) is a terrible crisis,of course.but it also presents an opportunity to change the way that research is condu

28、cted and shared. the way that researchers respond to covid-19 right now can serve as a blueprint for that future.scientists publishing data,ideas and information relating to the coronavirus pandemic on researchgate,a professional network that advocates open research,push against the old patterns(模式)

29、 of scientific culture.researchers are far more likely to post early-stage research on the websites than weve traditionally seen in other industries.were seeing people publish shorter,briefer content,and more figures.its really exciting to see researchers upload more and more preprints(预印本).the urge

30、ncy of this crisis encourages the global community of researchers to share more freely and work across industries,even as borders(边界) remain closed. the way that research is confirmed and shares hasnt changed much over the past decades,or perhaps the last century.we still rely on mysterious systems

31、of peer review(同行评审),and the in-person conference is still a main means of knowledge exchange. the covid-19 crisis is challenging both:one reason is that it is too slow (it can take six to nine months for a scientists primary results to be peer-reviewed and appear in a journal),and the other,it is n

32、o longer safe.we need to try new ways to do things,in real time,and the ideas that work in this time of crisis will serve us well in the future. at researchgate,we constantly work to improve scientific productivity to enable much-needed breakthroughs.this crisis encourages us to do our best to suppo

33、rt researchers in becoming more efficient and more open.we need to connect with all the actors in science to further this change:funders,publishers,institutions and even nations need to come together and reimagine what science could be and how it could drive the development of better societies.the f

34、uture of science is surely international,interdisciplinary(跨学科的) and open.through the covid-19,efforts from some organizations stand out as leading the way,in bringing national donors,charities and companies together to solve problems.there are also many examples of interdisciplinary and internation

35、al cooperation that give us hope for advancing a new culture of science.researchgates own covid-19 community page is designed to encourage interdisciplinary cooperation during the coronavirus pandemic. the tools that we develop through the covid-19 crisis must equip us to work together across border

36、s to face future crises.our collective(共同的) actions in the face of climate change,for instance,have been inadequate so far.lets use this crisis to learn how to make science better,and lets continue these efforts beyond the crisis,together.this moment is an opportunity to pave new paths that well fol
