21、I am 26. I’m clear that I’m never going to catch up with Mother Teresa. But I want to do something to help people every single day like her.

Everybody thinks we just serve food and soda. The safety training is serious and stressful. Caring for 49 people in a business class in 90 minutes is not easy. I had a roommate who was a waitress; she just left a candle and a table cloth burning, and I used a fire extinguisher (灭火器) to put out the fire. If something goes bad at her job, she calls the police. But if something happens up in the air, it’s up to us.

I’m single and have no kids. I’ve flown every Christmas since 1995. If I fly, someone else can be with their kids. Christmas in an airport can be depressing, but it’s the little things that make a difference.

________It’s hard to put on a smile and just pretend everything is great when it isn’t. I’ve seen co-workers lose a family member the day before a trip and just pull themselves together (take control of their feelings and believe in a calm way). At the end of a 14-hour flight, it’s like, “It was really nice to help you, but I’m ready for you to get off the plane.” Those last 15 minutes can be the longest 15 minutes of your life. You can’t wait to turn off the flight attendant’s voice and get something to eat without anyone saying “Excuse me.”

Sometimes I go all day and never hear a “please” or a “thank you.” When you say thank you, it’s huge. It makes us feel like you actually see us as fellow humans. We’re up there together at a height of 30,000 feet, enjoying the miracle (奇迹) of the modern flight.

【1】What’s the author’s attitude towards Mother Teresa?

A. Grateful   B. Fearful   C. Doubtful   D. Admiring

【2】How did the author like her roommate’s job?

A. It was the same as hers   B. It was more interesting than hers

C. It was easier than hers   D. It was more serious than hers

【3】Why does the author fly every Christmas?

A. Because she has nowhere to go.

B. Because she’s trying to be a helpful co-worker.

C. Because she owes her co-workers some favors.

D. Because she’d like to earn more money.

【4】What does the author imply by saying the underlined sentence “We’re not robots”?

A. Flight attendants are not stronger than robots.

B. Flight attendants also experience emotions.

C. Flight attendants get tired while robots don’t.

D. Flight attendants need to rest now and then.

22、It seems hard to watch someone yawn (打哈欠) and not to yawn ourselves. Even reading about yawning can make you do it. Now, a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force.

Yawning when others yawn, the study suggests, is a sign of pity and a form of social connection. Kids don’t develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four, the study found. Kids with autism (自闭症) are less likely to catch yawns. In the most serious cases, they never do. Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly. The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect.

“Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together,” said Molly Helt, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Connecticut. “Yawning may be part of that.” Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. She repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn back. He never did.

“The fact that autistic kids don’t do it might mean they’re really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them,” she said. “The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others’,” she added. “Autistic people never seem to understand that.”

Like infectious (有感染力的) laughter and crying, scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that promotes social connection. Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group.

【1】According to the first two paragraphs, what does the new study suggest?

A．It is easy to stop yawning when you see others yawn.

B．Yawning is a form of communication.

C．Children follow others in yawning just after they are born.

D．Yawning has some mysterious force which is related to God.

【2】According to Molly Helt, _________.

A．yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humans

B．humans differ from animals because they communicate with others

C．emotions are infectious, but yawning is not

D．yawning helps clear ears on planes

【3】Which of the following is NOT true about yawning?

A．It is natural to yawn back if people around you yawn.

B．Some kids are too young to yawn after others.

C．Kids with autism yawn easily when others yawn.

D．Yawning can be used to test children’s development.

【4】The author implies in the last paragraph that ________.

A．it is bad manners to yawn on some social occasions

B．yawning can make people feel relaxed

C．the more you yawn, the happier you will be

D．yawning is different from infectious laughter and crying in theory

23、Pandas are not only a national treasure, but are loved around the world.

Recently, a giant panda cub born in August at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, US, was given the name Xiao Qi Ji, which is translated into English as “little miracle”. The choice was the result of a five-day online vote that drew nearly 135,000 voters in the US. Interestingly, National Public Radio said that in a nod to Chinese tradition, the name was not chosen until 100 days after the birth.

This cub’s birth proved to be quite inspiring - and at a time when inspiration was truly needed.

“Xiao Qi Ji’s birth is a true miracle that has been so uplifting to all of us during the pandemic (疫情)，” Chinese Ambassador to the US Cui Tiankai said in a video congratulatory message. “ We are connected again in the growth of our little ambassador, and in our shared joy and friendship.”

The furry black-and-white animals have played an important role in the country’s diplomacy, known as “ panda diplomacy (外交)”.

According to the Japanese Royal Annual, the practice dates back to the Tang Dynasty, when Empress Wu Zetian sent a pair of pandas to the Japanese emperor.

China revived panda diplomacy in the 1950s when China sent two pandas to the Moscow Zoo. By 1982, China had given 23 pandas to nine different countries. However, most of them have died. China stopped giving away pandas in the early 1980s. Instead, the animals are loaned to other countries. In general, they are to be returned to China after 10 years.

But why do these cute “diplomats” find it hard to survive in other countries? According to Xinhua, their dietary habit is one significant reason. Their nutrition mostly comes from bamboo shoots. Adult giant pandas consume about 40 kilograms of bamboo daily. Pandas can also be quite picky. They refuse to eat bamboo shoots after they have blossomed.

It takes 10 years for a new crop of bamboo to mature, and many countries do not have an environment suitable for bamboo growth. This means that food has to be imported In August, Calgary Zoo in Canada announced that due to pandemic-related changes in its import laws and quarantine methods, they couldn’t provide enough fresh bamboo for pandas. This meant that they had to send two giant pandas back to China.

But countries are still trying their best to facilitate this special type of diplomacy. “We don’t own the pandas, but the whole world wants to help save the panda, and we do that through our knowledge exchange.” Steven Monfort, director of the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, told China Daily.

【1】The expression “in a nod to” in Para. 2 is closest in meaning to________.

A．in praise for

B．in response to

C．in favor of

D．in order to observe

【2】Why China decided that pandas are only loaned to other countries?

A．Because the pandas’ dietary habit was significantly changed abroad.

B．Because the pandas couldn’t have bamboo to eat in other countries.

C．Because most of pandas could not be adapted to the climate abroad.

D．Because most of the pandas sent to other countries couldn’t survive.

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A．It was the first time that China had sent a panda to Japan.

B．The practice “panda diplomacy” dales from the Tang Dynasty.

C．China began panda diplomacy, sending two pandas to Moscow Zoo.

D．Two giant pandas had to be returned because they were sick in Canada.

【4】What Steven Monfort’s attitude towards the special type of diplomacy?

A．Favorable.

B．Uncaring.

C．Disapproving.

D．Doubtful.

【5】What is the purpose of the passage?

A．To tell us how to feed pandas properly.

B．To call on people to love pandas in the world.

C．To introduce the furry black and white ambassador.

D．To explain why “panda diplomacy” is stopped.

24、   Do you know that intelligence can be developed? Do you realize it doesn't matter how smart you are but how hard you can work to grow? 【1】 In her book, Mindset:  The New Psychology of Success, Carol Dweck shares years of research conducted to prove it's not just talent that determines success but whether we approach a situation with the right mindset. Having a growth mindset has many, many benefits.

【2】 Having a growth mindset encourages you to not look at a deficit(差额)as a deficit in ability but one of learning and that is one which can easily be achieved. This naturally has an impact on your sense of self-worth.

Enjoy the process of learning. With a growth mindset, you look forward to acquiring new skills and absorbing new knowledge. You realize that everything that you learn can help you improve and become a better person. 【3】

Increase your confidence. According to Dweck and her fellow researchers “… in the growth framework, having clear deficits doesn't mean you aren't or won't be good at something. It's simply an occasion for learning. 【4】You just need to believe in improvement over time. ”

Don’t get confused by setbacks(挫折). When you have a growth mindset, you don't view a setback as something that sets you back. 【5】Dweck shares, “Despite setbacks-or even because of them—they find ways to keep themselves committed and interested.”

A.Seek challenges.

B.Improve your sense of self-worth.

C.It can affect all areas of your life, from business to love.
