21、An estimated eight million people in Britain enjoy walking in the Peak District every year. But what many who enjoy outdoor hobbies don’t know is that their “right to walk” was won by men who sacrificed their own freedom to gain access to the countryside for all.

In 1932 wealthy landowners had private use of large areas of uplands for hunting. Walkers were kept out by guards, until a group of 400 people from Manchester and Yorkshire, led by Benny Rothman, engaged on a mass trespass（侵入）. The campaigner was put into prison with four other men.

The event is supported by many with starting a movement that paved the way for the establishment of national parks. Mr Rothman died in 2002 but he is now being honoured for his contribution with the revealing of a blue plaque(匾额) on his former home in Crofton Avenue, Timperley, Greater Manchester.

Retired professor, Harry, who followed in his father’s footsteps by specialising in environmental issues, says: “He was a very optimistic man and he made the best of it when he went to prison. It did’'t put him off campaigning, he went on campaigning on environmental issues most of his life." Mr Rothman did live to see the Countryside Rights of Way Act passed by Parliament in 2000, ensuring the freedom of the countryside for future generations.

Roly Smith, a friend of Mr Rothman and an author of walking guidebooks, said: “It is because of them that we have got what we have today.”

Councillor Jonathan Coupe, of Trafford Council, said: “The honour of having a blue plaque attributed(归因于) to you means you have really made an impression on society.”

“Mr Rothman contributed to the changing of history and it is because of him that we are able to enjoy the local countryside as often and freely as we can today.”

【1】What do we know about people in Britain according to Para. 1?

A. They value freedom.

B. They have wide interests.

C. They are fond of hiking.

D. They tend to live in the countryside.

【2】A blue plaque was revealed on Mr. Rothman’s former home   .

A. to support his campaign

B. to honor his contribution

C. to remind people of the past

D. to celebrate the establishment of national parks

【3】Besides “optimistic”, which of the following best describes Mr. Rothman?

A. Cautious B. Determined

C. Considerate D. Ambitious

【4】From the last three paragraphs we learn that Mr. Rothman .

A. has served as a councilor

B. has made achievements in different fields

C. has been highly thought of for his contributions

D. has devoted his life to environment protection

22、Everyone has got a plan, a goal, a target that we all want to achieve. However, for many reasons we pause to take a sigh, and most times we don’t do anything about them anymore. So how can you set goals properly?

Reading some good books about setting goals is a great place to start. These books should push you ahead of the rest, and importantly, to make you attain your set goals.

Creating Your Best Life

Written by Caroline Miller, MAPP, she takes the standard SMART formula for goal setting and goes beyond that approach. She makes a point of giving you specific exercises while also sharing related stories. It’s a great book to consider as we connect better with stories and can find more motivation to set goals in the manner that Miller outlines in her book.

The Magic of Thinking Big

“You are what you think you are,” writes David J. Schwartz, PhD in The Magic of Thinking Big. Exceeding your goals is possible when you believe in yourself. Get over the fear of failure and use the power of a positive attitude to achieve big things.

The Book of Mistakes

Skip Prichard is a wonderful storyteller and weaves that skill into this book. This book takes a figurative person who discovers nine mistakes that highly successful people never make.

Goals!

Author of dozens of books on personal development, Brian Tracy explains the 12 steps necessary to accomplish goals both large and small. The author emphasizes self-discipline and persistence and two keys to achieving your goals.

【1】What’s an advantage of the books in the text?

24、   I saw the most beautiful thing ever one morning. It was early with a slight frost on the ground, and I was walking on grass down to the farm—my mind on the daily routines.

Suddenly a shining flash erupted straight from the ground about 15 feet in front of me, and shot up into the sky. It was so brilliant, clear and clean. I thought the only thing that could make such a flash must be a diamond—maybe someone had lost some kind of jewelry. Or some kind of lightning strikes—so bright. I waited to see if it repeated but it didn’t.

I walked slowly towards it. There was nothing to see. I stared down at the grass, searching for gold or some kind of metal. Nothing. So I dropped down really close and there it was! A tiny spider’s web, delicately hanging between grass, flashing in a number of colors. The rising sun had caught the exact angle of the dewdrops (露珠), and that light had exploded up into the sky.

It was unbelievable, such a powerful flash from something so small and fragile, and I would have destroyed it beneath my feet. It was as if the unseen world was giving me a heads-up. Hello! Look what’s around you. I’ve never forgotten that moment.

So take some time to notice the wonder of nature that most of us never even see. So much beauty all around us if we would only take the time. Look at the tiny flowers that cover playing fields—we walk all over them without a second glance. The colors of practically any flower on the earth are breathtaking and all natural—if we would only notice. Take the time and discover from nature one secret beautiful thing that you can keep in your heart. Take a picture. It’s what life really consists of. And it’s free.

【1】What actually caused the flash?

A.A diamond. B.The lightning.

C.A piece of metal. D.A spider’s web.

【2】Why did the writer feel the discovery unforgettable?

A.The flash is very splendid. B.The spider’s web is mysterious.

C.The shining object was priceless. D.Something small touches her soul.

【3】What does the writer try to convey in the last paragraph?

A.Appreciate the beauty of nature. B.Be considerate towards the weak.

C.Find time to play outdoors. D.Keep a secret deep in heart.

25、I opened the big steel door to the school’s front office. My hands were a bit sweaty; my heart was ________ fast in my chest, and my throat and tongue felt chalky and dry. It was the first day of school. No, not for me as a student, ________ rather, for me as a first-time reading tutor volunteering with AARP’s Experience Corps program.

The program, now in its 11th year in the Tempe Elementary School District and 3rd year in the Phoenix district, helps first through third graders ________ their reading fluency and accuracy.

Each day, they would come in with bright, ________ eyes and an enthusiasm that was infectious. I couldn’t help but smile when I met with each student. Experience Corps developed a research-based, statistically proven reading improvement program which consists ________ fun reading “games” that we’d play with each child designed to “put miles on the tongue.” They didn’t even ________ that they were actually learning and improving their reading—we were having too much ________!

Throughout the year, as we read and advanced to ________ level books, I got to know each student on a more personal basis. Their frankness as children was refreshing and something I looked forward to. They ________ ceased to surprise me with their conversation and questions.

“Ms. R,” (as they called ________), “I read my book to my dog, Sunny, and she really liked it, too.”

Great! That’s the idea—keep on reading to others at home to increase accuracy and ________.

“Ms. R, my mom has a baby in her belly. I’m going to be a big sister and will read to him when he comes out.”

That one made me feel all warm and fuzzy, and I told the student that she would be the best big sister ________.

“Ms. R, why do you have gray hair?”

Gotta love the frankness of kids, don’t you? I just smiled and told them it was better to have gray hair than ________ hair! We all laughed at that.

I had no ________ experience, but I found out that you don’t need any. All you need is a willingness to give of yourself and a desire to work one-on-one with these children who so desperately want to please you.

At the end of the school year, when it came time to say goodbye to my kids, one little boy had tears ________ up in his eyes. That got my eyes glistening and gave me a lump in my throat as well. ________ a different—and wonderful—physical and emotional reaction compared to the first day I ________ through those school doors.

________ I do it all over again? Yes. I plan to volunteer for the upcoming 2017-18 school year. I would ________ others to consider volunteering through Experience Corps or other programs that are ________ in their local school district. I guarantee you: it’s the best “warm and fuzzy” feeling in the world.
