22、In 2018, Yale Professor Laurie Santos introduced a new course, “Psychology and the Good Life,” to address the growing mental health needs of students on campus. It was an immediate success, attracting more than 1,200 undergraduates in the first semester before it was transformed into the most popular online course in Yale’s history.

Now the course is being offered for free to more than 550 low-income high school students across the United States. The students will receive free college credits upon completion. “This is a really challenging time, which means that students need to learn new strategies to protect their mental health,” said Santos. “Our goal is to equip students with scientifically proven strategies for living a more satisfying life, and also create opportunities for low-income students to improve their college readiness.”

According to a statement from Yale, the new program will be offered in more than 40 Title I schools from 17 cities. In addition to having access to Santos’ lectures, students will be supported by both a local teacher at their high school and a Yale teaching fellow. “It is an honor to be involved in this widespread effort to broaden educational opportunities for the diverse students enrolled in this course,” said Zach Silver, one of the teaching fellows for the new course. “I’m thrilled to share my passion for this material with students across the country.”

The original “Psychology and the Good Life” course attracted such a large enrollment of students that it was moved to Woolsey Hall, the largest concert hall on campus. The class has since given rise to both a highly successful online course, “The Science of Well-Being,” available for free on Coursera with over three million enrollments to date, and the hit podcast “The Happiness Lab,” a top 5 Apple podcast with over 30 million downloads.

“Our goal is to give students the tools they need to feel better. But in addition, we can give students a strict Yale educational experience and an opportunity to see that they have what it takes to succeed in college and beyond.” said Santos.

A．It’s difficult to carry out.

B．It’s educational and significant.

C．It’s impractical and time-consuming.

D．It can arouse students’ passion for psychology.

【3】What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?

A．How successful the course is.

B．The future of the new course.

C．How the course has developed.

D．The popularity of online courses.

23、You have probably been told by your high school instructor that writing is an important and practical skill. However, you may not be convinced that the ability to write will be important in your own future. If so, you will be surprised at the results of a recent survey by the National Institute of Education. More than four thousand working men and women who had graduated fifteen years earlier were asked to name the courses they would have taken in college if they had known better. The designer of the survey expected people to name courses in computer science, mathematics, or business. But the course most often mentioned was writing.

If you already have a job, you are probably not surprised at their answers. Many jobs require the ability to write. Despite the increasing use of the telephone and the computer, much information must be communicated in writing.Some ten million people—managers, engineers, sales representatives, and many others— write regularly as part of their jobs. Summaries, reports, reports, letters and speeches are required in today’s work world. The ability to write, therefore, is an important skill. The successful individual is almost always the one who can communicate successfully in writing.

Writing communicates your thoughts and feelings to others; it also tells you something about yourself. Maybe this is what Eldridge Cleaver had in mind in his autobiography, “I started to write... to save myself...I had to seek out the truth... I had to find out who I am and what I want to be ,what type of man I should be ,and what I could do to become the best of which I was capable.”

【1】Why does the author say writing is very important?

A.Because it is a required course at high school and college.

B.Because it is a way to communicate your thoughts.

C.Because it is an important skill for many jobs.

D.Because it shows your good quality.

【2】The survey conducted by the National Institute of Education shows that .

A.more than 4,000 working people value the course of writing

B.many people regard computer science as a useful course

C.some people would study business if they had a chance

D.most people consider writing to be an important course

【3】The author suggests that  need to communicate a lot in writing.

A.mangers 

B.engineers

C.sales representatives 

D.all of the above

【4】Why is Eldridge Cleaver’s autobiography mentioned in the passage?

A.To clarify what writing means to people.

B.To show what good writing is.

C.To encourage people to write.

D.To provide evidence for the survey.

24、   Have you heard a story about Oliver Wendell Holmes and got what he meant? He once attended a meeting in which he was the shortest man present. "Doctor Holmes," joked a friend. "I should think you would feel rather small among us big fellows." "I do," smiled Holmes. "I feel like a dime（一角硬币）among a lot of pennies."

I ever believed only such a person like Holmes could think that way. But I was proven wrong.

Yesterday I watched a huge flight of geese winging their way south through one of those beautiful sunsets that colored the entire sky for a few moments. I saw them as I rested against the lion statue in front of the Chicago Art Institute, where I was watching the Christmas shoppers hurry along Michigan Avenue.

When I looked sideways, I noticed that a bag lady, standing a few feet away, had also been watching the geese with great attention. Sensing someone was looking at her, she cast a sideways look. Our eyes met and we smiled silently acknowledging the fact that we had shared an amazing sight, a symbol of the secret of the struggle to survive. I overheard the lady talking to herself as she walked away. Her words, "Life treats me kindly", nearly made my jaw drop.

Was the lady, this homeless street beggar, being kidding or even mindless? No. I believed the sight of the geese had reminded her of, however briefly, the difficult and unpleasant reality of her own struggle. I realized later that moments such as this one provided her with great comfort and encouragement; it was the way she survived the hardness of the street. Her smile was real.

The sight of the geese was her Christmas present. It was proof that hard work mattered. It was all she needed. I envy her.

【1】From the story in paragraph 1, we can know that Holmes was   .

A.patient B.rude C.wise D.awkward

【2】What surprised the author most the day he watched the geese?

A.The bag lady's remarks on her life.

B.The secret of the survival of the geese.

C.People's enthusiasm for Christmas gifts.

D.The beautiful sunset and the colorful sky.

【3】What does the author envy the bag lady?

A.Her unusual experiences as a street beggar.

B.Her great pride in what she worked hard at.

C.Her friendly ways of getting on with strangers.

D.Her positive attitude towards her own struggle.

25、As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being ______ from morning till night, it is hard to _________ down. But relaxation is necessary for a healthy mind and body.

Stress is a ______ part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. However, it is not the bad thing that is often supposed to be. A ________ amount of stress is important to provide motivation and give ______ to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ________ health.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When my grandfather died,my 83-year-old grandmother, once full of life, slowly began to fade. Although she was visited often by our loving family members, it was often hard to arouse her interest.

One chilly December afternoon, my sister Meagan, eight, and I were settling in for a long visit with my grandmother, when she noticed that Meagan was carrying her favorite doll.

”I, too, had a special doll when I was a little girl,“ she told wide-eyed Meagan,”I got it one Christmas when I was about your age.The very first gift I opened that Christmas was the most beautiful doll. She had an exquisite,hand-painted porcelain face, and her long brown hair was pulled back with a big pink bow.”Grandma’s eyes filled with excitement and her voice shook with emotion as she recalled that Christmas gift.“I played with my doll all morning long. She was such a beautiful doll... And then it happened. My mother called us to the dining room for Christmas dinner and I laid my doll down, ever so gently, on the hall table. But as I went to join the family at the table,I heard a loud crash.”

“I hardly had to turn round — I knew it was my precious doll. When I ran in from the dining room, there lay my beautiful doll on the floor, her face smashed into a dozen pieces. I can still see mother trying to put my poor doll together again. But it couldn’t be done. She was gone forever.”     A few days later, Grandma’s younger sister was also gone because of pneumonia. Now the tears in her eyes spilled over-tears, I knew, not only for a lost doll and a lost sister, but for the lost time.

During our rest stay, Meagan thought a good idea and exclaimed,“Let’s get our grandma a new doll for Christmas, one exactly like the doll that got broken. She would not cry when she thought about it.”My heart filled with pride as I listened to my compassionate sister. But where would we find a doll to mach our grandmother’s fond memories?
