Home to many of the world's largest high-tech corporations.
In Apple Park，the Visitor Center is the only part tourists are permitted to visit.There are four main areas：an Apple Store featuring Apple-branded goods not sold at regular Apple stores，a cafe，an exhibition space，and a roof terrace （露臺(tái)）overlooking the campus.
In the Googleplex，there is no Google campus tour.The only way a member of the public can tour the inside of campus buildings is by an employee -- so if you happen to know one，ask him or her to show you around.

3．This past year，I've found myself returning again and again to lines of poetry by Emily Dickinson.Like many people，I've needed the curing effects of reading more than ever.As scientists and psychologists will tell you，books are good for the brain and their benefits are particularly vital now.
Books expand our world，providing an escape and offering novelty，surprise and excitement.They broaden our view and help us connect with others.Books can also distract （分心） us and help reduce our mental chatter.When we hit the "flow state" of reading where we' re fully lost in a book，our brain's mode network calms down.It's a network of brain that is active and gets absorbed in thinking and worrying endlessly when we are not doing anything else.
There is so much noise in the world right now and the very act of reading is kind of meditation（冥想）.You disconnect from the chaos around jye.ai.You reconnect with yourself when you are reading.And there's no more noise.
In 2020，the NPD Group recorded the best year of book sales since 2004.Yet even as people are buying more books，many are reporting they're having a harder time gelling through them.It's difficult for your brain to focus on a book when it's constantly scanning for threats （威脅）to keep you alive.Our fight - or - flight response has been consistently activated.
Sometimes I picture my brain as a cartoon brain with little arms and legs，fighting with a book I am holding and screaming："Can't you see I'm busy!" Anxiety causes our brain to produce a flood of stress，which consumes our energy and makes it harder to concentrate.
Then one day in December sitting on my couch，I remembered how much I like to read "The House of Mirth" every few years around the holidays.The memory inspired me to pick up the familiar book，opened it up and started reading.I just kept going.The comfort and distraction and brain-opening experience gave me peace.So return to something familiar.
（1）What does the underlined part "mental chatter" in Paragraph 2 mean？
A．Getting lost in a book.
B．Non-stop inner anxiety.
C．Chatting with the author.
D．Powerful network of brain.
（2）What do we know about reading according to the text？
A．It can treat our headache.
B．It can calm down the noisy people.
C．It forces us to concentrate on thinking.
D．It makes us communicate with ourselves.
（3）Why was it difficult for people to finish reading books in 2020？
A．People bought too many books.
B．The books were too difficult to understand.
C．People just wanted to escape from the threat.
D．The life threat disturbed people's focus on books.
（4）Why is the author's experience mentioned in the last paragraph？
A．To rid people of concern for safety.
B．To wake up memories of an old book.
C．To present an effective reading way.
D．To show the fun reading brought about.組卷：3引用：2難度：0.5

My son and I like to go to my parents' home in the countryside.There are my warm memories，in which I was brought up with my parents caring and loving me without asking for anything in return.It's also a paradise （樂(lè)園）for my son，whose curiosity，observation and exploration are met greatly.Everything in his grandparents' yard，either from tiny flowers to big trees，or from tiny ants to big dogs attracts Tom.
Last month I took my son Tom to see his grandparents.When we arrived，my father and mother were so happy to see us.Tom's grandma hugged and kissed Tom excitedly.Then his grandpa took him to the yard to play.My mom went to her kitchen to prepare our meal.
At lunch table，Tom told me，proudly，Dad，I saw a hen flying. "
"You're kidding me!" I said without thinking， "How can a hen fly？"
"Dad，to see is to believe.In the yard，the dog ran after the hen.Finally the hen was forced to a corner.When the panicked hen found no other way out，her wings suddenly beat wildly.She flew off the ground and screamed up to the roof.The hen escaped successfully.Dad，I didn't know a hen could fly before.Why can a hen fly？"
I thought for a while and said， "Maybe because of love.The hen loves her own life.Although she was scared by the dog，she was still aware that she must spare no effort to save herself from the big enemy.It is the love for herself that stirs （激起）her inner power and she flies!"
Tom nodded.He seemed to have understood.
Last weekend we visited Tom's grandparents again.This time I heard Tom shouting from the yard， "Dad!The dog is chasing （追趕）the hen again!Come to see!"
I ran out of the house quickly.
