21、The popularity of Facebook has caused a shift in how people realize themselves: the “like” button has become nothing more than a self-esteem (自尊) booster. 【1】 It can take years and years, but there are shortcuts you can use to achieve it.

【2】. You’re not arrogant (自大的) if you love yourself. In fact, arrogance is often the foundation of low self-esteem and insecurity. Try this exercise: stand in front of the mirror and tell your reflection everything you love about yourself. Accept what you don’t like about yourself. This may feel uncomfortable at first, but change often does.

Do you socialize with negative people? 【3】. This may seem unfair, but those negative people will simply strengthen what you don’t like about yourself. People like to socialize with happy, positive people. The happiest people in life are the ones that look at what they have, not what they don’t have.

There are a lot of people who aren’t aware they have a negative voice in their head.

【4】. Whenever you hear a negative comment, immediately replace it with a positive one. Your brain is like a computer: whatever command you input, it responds, so if you ask it a question like “why do I always mess up?” your brain will find plenty of examples to support it.

Celebrating your successes is another good way. We’re often so busy in life that we seldom take the time to stop and really reflect on what we’ve achieved. Take the time once a day to ask yourself what you’re proud of having achieved that day. 【5】 Remember that it’s not the outcome that’s always important, but the process.

A．Learn to love yourself.

B．Catch your negative self-talk.

C．Appreciate how far you’ve come.

D．If so, consider finding new friends.

E．When self-esteem is high, we lose our fear of envy.

F．Of course not, few people like socializing with negative people.

G．But what’s important is to develop high self-esteem from inner.

22、Little Women (1994)

Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel Little Women isn’t a stranger to film adaptation, but this 1994 version from the director Gillian Armstrong targets the film at modern audiences without changing its old-fashioned style. Handsomely staged and acted, this is a first-rate introduction to one of the great works of young adult literature.

My Fair Lady (1964)

George Cukor’s energetic adaptation of the Broadway musical based on George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion won eight Academy Awards. Audrey Hepburn shines as Eliza Doolittle, the lower-class Cockney flower girl who the phonetics (语音学) professor Henry Higgins believes he can tum into a proper lady by merely bettering her speech. The script carefully touches issues of gender and class while creating a credible chemistry between the leads.

Alice in Wonderland (2010)

The latest Alice adaptation on the big screen, Tim Burton’s in 2010, is perhaps the furthest of all the adaptations from Caroll’s original. Burton’s Alice, trying to freshen up a 150-year -old story, picks up the story some years after Alice wakes up, imagining a grown-up Alice who finds herself once again in Wonderland when she escapes from a marriage proposal (求婚).

Lady Bird (2017)

Adapted by Greta Gerwig, this funny coming-of-age story is set in her hometown. Saoirse Ronan shines in the leading role as a quietly rebellious (叛逆的) high-school senior whose search for love and popularity causes conflicts with her mother. In Gerwig’s screenplay, characters are complicated and flawed, yet deeply sympathetic.

【1】Who’s the director of My Fair Lady?

A．George Cukor.

B．Gillian Armstrong.

C．Greta Gerwig.

D．George Bernard Shaw.

【2】Which one may you choose if you are interested in parent-kid relationships?

A．Little Women (1994)

B．My Fair Lady (1964)

C．Alice in Wonderland (2010)

D．Lady Bird (2017)

【3】What docs the text mainly talk about?

A．Some book reviews.

B．A few popular films.

C．Some classic novels.

D．Some film adaptations.

23、Education today really isn’t that much different from what it was a hundred years ago. It’s still classrooms full of students all learning the same thing at the same pace from teachers who spend thirty years teaching more or less the same thing.

However, the world that the next generation will grow up in will be different from anything we have seen. It will be a world filled with artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, automation, virtual reality, personalized medicine, self-driving cars, and people on Mars; a world where people might not even have jobs and where society itself may be arranged in fundamentally different ways. How are we supposed to know how to prepare them to succeed in a world that we cannot predict?

It starts by rethinking what a school is. The role of school should no longer be to fill heads with information, rather it should be a place that inspires students to be curious about the world they live in. Don’t hold back that curiosity by making them spend their childhoods preparing for one test after another.

The ability to adapt and learn something new should be valued above all else. Gone are the days when you pick a profession and just do that one thing for the rest of your life. People will need to know how to learn something new multiple times over in their lives because our knowledge of the world and who we are is progressing incredibly quickly. If the last time you learned anything new was when you were in school then you will be missing out on the new ways of understanding the world.

In addition, education should give people an understanding that the world is not divided up into different subjects. All fields of knowledge bleed into each other and none can be fully understood in isolation (孤立).

Much of this may seem idealistic or unrealistic, but change is needed if we are going to figure out how to live in the future.

【1】What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To present the complexity of education.

B．To stress the importance of education.

C．To describe what education used to be like.

D．To suggest education is far behind the times.

【2】What should be the role of school?

A．To inspire students’ curiosity.

B．To guarantee happy childhood.

C．To provide sufficient information.

D．To prepare students for a lifelong profession.

【3】What will the author agree?

A．One should learn as much as he can at school.

B．Schools should teach new ways to change the world.

C．Students’ ability to adapt should be the priority of education.

D．School subjects reflect how the world is divided into different fields.

【4】What is the best title of the text?

A．Standards Tests Remove Students’ Curiosity

B．Gone Are the Days of Traditional School Education

C．It’s Time to Change How We Educate Our Children

D．Change in Education Is Too Idealistic and Unrealistic

24、It was a rainy, damp December day. I was headed to the store to pick up another week’s worth of food. I had put off shopping for Christmas presents until later in the month but wasn’t looking forward to the crowd of Christmas shoppers while I grabbed my groceries. I kept the CD player on while I drove to avoid the radio news. It only spoke of the world’s huge problems and how divided we all still were. And it usually just left me feeling helpless.

Still, I gave my son a dollar to put in the bell-ringer’s pot at the door to the store. We went in and soon filled our cart with food. Then we walked towards the self-checkout machines. I hated using them. I much preferred to chat with the friendly cashiers, but the line at them was five deep and I just didn’t have the time. As I pulled my cart up, I heard an old man at the machine next to mine grumbling (嘟囔) under his breath, trying his hardest not to curse. He only had a few items but every time he put his wrinkled, well-worn, twenty-dollar bill into the machine, the money was returned.

I quickly grabbed a newer twenty out of my purse and gave it to him. He thanked me with a warm smile and paid for his goods. I told him to keep his money but he insisted that I take his old, torn twenty. I nodded, put it in my coat pocket, and wished him a Merry Christmas.

After checking out, I remembered something Mother Teresa had once said about how we all can change the world. “Help one person at a time,” she said, “and always start with the person nearest you.” I reached into my pocket, smiled, and went outside. Then I dropped that torn twenty into the bell-ringer’s pot and walked to my car with my son happily.

【1】Why did the author feel helpless?

A．Radio provided unreliable news.

B．There was always a Christmas rush.

C．People were disconnected from each other.

D．Christmas was ruined by the terrible weather.

【2】How did the author help the old man?

A．By paying for his shopping items.

B．By exchanging a newer note with him.

C．By teaching him how to use the machine.

D．By calling out the friendly cashier in time.

【3】Why did the author give twenty dollars to the bell-ringer?

A．She wanted to pursue Mother Teresa’s ideas.

B．She desired to spread Mother Teresa’s words.

C．She expected to set a good example to her son.

D．She hoped to have a meaningful day with her son.
