• 2．A year after I left college，I was given the opportunity to host the 6 o'clock news in Baltimore.The whole goal in the media at the time I was coming up was try to move to larger markets，so getting the job at 22 was such a big deal.And I was so proud，because I was finally going to have my chance to be like Barbara Walters，who had been my idol since the start of my TV career.I was 22 in 1976，making ﹩22，000 a year，it didn't feel right yet.
     The first sign was when they tried to change my name.The news director said to me at the time， "Nobody's going to remember Oprah.So，we want to change your name.We've come up with a name we think that people will remember and people will like.It's a friendly name：Suzie."
     I grew up not loving the name，but once I was asked to change it，I thought，well，it is my name and do I look like a Suzie to you？I thought，no，it doesn't feel right.I'm not going to change my name.And whether people remember it or not，that's OK.
     And then they said they didn't like the way I looked，so they sent me to a salon where they gave me a perm （燙發(fā)）.After a few days all my hair fell out and I had to shave my head.At last，they really didn't like the way I looked，because I was black and bald and sitting on TV wasn't a pretty picture.
     But even worse than being bald，I really hated being sent to report on other people's tragedies as a part of my daily duty.And after eight months，I lost that job.They said I was too emotional.But since they didn't want to pay out the contract，they put me on a talk show.And the moment I sat down on that show，the moment I felt like I'd come home.I realized that TV could be more than just a playground，but a platform for helping other people lift their lives.And the moment I sat down，doing that talk show，it felt like breathing.And that's where everything that followed for me began.

• 3．With the first quarter of 2021 crossed out of your calendar，have you stuck with your New Year's resolutions？If yes，congratulations!Keep on doing it!However，it won't surprise anyone if you are among the majority of people who fail to make any changes.
     Procrastination，meaning delaying actions for one reason or another，may play an important part here.For example，when we read a book or write articles，the efficiency will decrease if we have a cell phone close by and we have to finish the plans next day.
     Apart from procrastination，overconfidence may also be part of the problem.Israeli-American behaviorist Daniel Kahneman has identified something called "planning fallacy".This means we believe our own projects will proceed as planned even though similartasks took more time.
     Why do we keep making this mistake？In his book，Thinking，F(xiàn)ast and Slow，Kahneman says it's because of "optimism bias"（樂觀偏見）" .He also says we underestimate the time we will need.In one famous example，planners originally estimated the Sydney Opera House would be completed by 1963.It was actually completed in 1973，an entire decade later.Optimism and even overconfidence can generate false beliefs，leading us to overrate our abilities，" Kahneman wrote.
     According to US writer Steve Pavlina，we could make a to-do list of upcoming tasks，and write down a rough estimate for how long we expect each task to take.Chinese news site Qdaily also noted， "People could use historical data in a proper manner.Previous experiences can help them see future trends."Another way is to try and be more objective--take more of an outsider view.The ability to think about your experiences from a more detached point of view，rather than an immersed one，is important.
     These methods aren't enough to send a man to the moon. You also should take action right now.
  
  （1）What is the text？

  
  A．A news report.
  B．A short story.
  C．A book review.
  D．An explanation article.
  （2）Why can't the plan be finished in time according to the passage？

  
  A．The task is too difficult.
  B．We don't like to take action.
  C．We lack confidence.
  D．We overrate our abilities.
  （3）What does Paragraph 5 intend to tell us？

  
  A．Ways to overcome optimism bias.
  B．Opinions on oncoming tasks.
  C．Benefits of an outsider view.
  D．Effects of previous experiences.
  （4）What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean？

  
  A．These methods can make you more confident.
  B．These methods are not as effective as imagined.
  C．Using these methods can not guarantee success.
  D．Landing on the moon needs other ways besides these methods.

• 4．The Eastern Daily Press （EDP），a newspaper covering Nolfolk，northern parts of Suffolk and eastern Cambridgeshire，is published daily in Norwich，UK.Founded in 1879 as a broadsheet called the Eastern Counties Daily Press，it changed its name to the Eastern Daily press in 1872.The paper is now owned and published by Archant，formerly known as Eastern Counties Newspapers Group.
     Soon，a Google--backed project named Local Recall giving access to over 150 years of Eastern Daily Press newspaper at the click of a button or spoken question will be released.Archant is home to archive（檔案館）that holds tens of thousands of newspapers--with some Norwich Mercury editions dating from as far back as the middle of the 18th century.In 2017，Archant applied to the Google Digital News Innovation Fund to breathe new life into the archive.The company received ￡600，000 from Google and part--matched the fund to start Local Recall.
     The project began in early 2018 and with help from Norwich--based artificial intelligence and chatbot company Ubisend along with specialist historical scanning companies Towns Web Archiving and Findmypast，Local Recall has since digitized an estimated 750，000 pages of EDP newspapers.In the process，more than seven million articles have been uploaded online.The digitization process，while impressive，could not always guarantee exact recreation of the text.Factors such as paper thickness，marks on the page and general wear and tear could make results confusing.It became clear there was a need for human eyes to pick out errors.
     Meanwhile，a platform was provided for an army of more than 800 volunteers to help proofread（校對）and correct the stories from days gone by.Melanie Duncan，47，from Helleson，got involved in the project after learning about it through Facebook. "It's a window of memories into our past that we might have no knowledge of otherwise.The project is an invaluable source of accessible information.I have enjoyed every minute of doing it so far，" she said.Soon，users will be able to explore EDP archives from October 1870 right up to the latest news through a subscription service available on monthly and annual price plan.

• 5．Study shows that wearing masks outdoors can protect against more than Covid-19 for people who suffer from seasonal allergies.Protection varies from mask to mask，depending on the fit and for cloth masks，it depends on the weave of the fabric.And unless you wear a mask at all times，you may still be affected by indoor dust or other things carried through open windows. （1）

  
     ?Protect your eyes.（2）

  It helps block allergens like tree pollen from making direct contact with eyes.
     ?Wash and change your mask frequently. "The last thing you want is allergen getting trapped in it，" Dr，Parikh，an allergist and immunologist at N.Y.U.Langone Health said.She recommends patients change their clothes when they get home and shower before sleep to ensure that pollen（花粉）doesn't stick to their skin，and wash reusable masks frequently. （3）

  
     ?Find a mask that doesn't make your skin painful.Choosing the right mask for an allergy-prone wearer can also be important.People with sensitive skin may react to dyes（染料）in some fabric masks and should use perfume-free detergents（洗滌劑，去污劑）.（4）

  "My allergy sufferers have very sensitive skin because the same critters that make them sneeze or cough also can irritate their skin." Dr.Parikh said.
     ?（5）

  "If people are continuing to have symptoms that interfere with normal activity—if they're missing work，missing school，their sleep is disrupted at night—see a physician，" Dr.Lang，an allergist at Cleveland Clinic，said. "There are other ways we can help.You shouldn't be suffering needlessly."
