21、No one likes to fail. Whether it’s at work, at home, or in another area of your life, failure is painful and it can also be costly in terms of time, money, or both.【1】 If you never suffer a failure, then you’re probably not pushing yourself to your full potential. The following are some tips on how to pick yourself up after you’ve failed.

Remember that other people fail too. 【2】 They’ll tell you about that great new contract(合同) they signed, not the deal that failed eventually though they worked on it for months. But failure is normal, and lots of people fail time and time again before meeting with success.

Remind yourself of your past successes. Failing doesn’t mean that you’re worthless, or that you’ll never achieve the things you want.【3】 Maybe you had high marks last term, or you lost weight, or you learned to play a musical instrument. You might want to write down a list of successes---things that you’ve accomplished over the past few years, whether big or small. If you ever lack confidence, you can go back and read over that list.

【4】 Your past successes are important, but so are your past failures. You’ve made mistakes before, and you’ve survived them. Perhaps you did badly in an exam, or lost your temper and had to apologize. It’s not fun to think about the times when things went wrong, but by acknowledging your failures, you can remind yourself that today is no different. Just as you recovered in the past, you can recover from your recent failure too.

【5】 Whatever goes wrong, you’re probably facing some sort of decision. Don’t rush into making a hasty decision, but do look for a forward path. That might require some deep thinking.

A．Make a decision.

B．Limit the damage caused.

C．Remind yourself of your past failures.

D．However, failure is a normal part of life.

E．Get some advice and support from others.

F．Most people don’t talk openly about their failures.

G．Think of all the times in the past when you’ve succeeded.

22、   Everybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world—Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey—rats will soon be the new best friends of humans.

What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.

How does it work? First the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal. This is sent to a small radio on its back and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.

Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York, says, “Robots’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity!

The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history people will be happy to see a rat in a building.

【1】In the world earthquake capitals, rats will become man’s best friends because________．

A.they can fully take the place of man’s rescue jobs to save more people

B.they can find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildings

C.they can serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings

D.they can get into small spaces that the dogs may fail to get into

【2】The underlined word “signal” in the third paragraph has the closest meaning to the one in sentence “________”.

A.they left the room at an agreed signal

B.the policeman raised his hand to signal the driver to stop

C.he seemed to signal important changes in the US government policy

D.a signal failure resulted in the car accident

【3】Rats have all the following advantages EXCEPT that ________.

A.they are more fantastic than other animals

B.they are less expensive to train than dogs

C.they don’t need electricity

D.they are small and can get into small spaces

【4】After reading the passage, we can know ________.

A.rats have already taken the place of dogs in searching for people

B.the “rat project” has already been completed

C.people are very happy to see a rat in a building

D.people now still use dogs and robots in performing rescues

23、In tough times — and there’s no doubt that 2020 qualifies as tough times — those of us who love to read turn to all kinds of different books. Here are the books that I’d recommend.

The Spy and the Traitor

The Greatest Espionage Story of the Cold War

by Ben Macintyre

This nonfiction account focuses on Oleg Gordievsky, a KGB officer who became a double agent for the British, and Aldrich Ames, the American turncoat(叛徒) who likely betrayed him, Macintyre’s retelling of their stories comes not only from Western sources (including Gordievsky himself) but also from the Russian perspective. It’s every bit as exciting as my favorite spy novels.

Range

Why Generalists Triumph(获得成功) in a Specialized World

by David Epstein

I started following Epstein’s work after watching his fantastic 2014 TED talk on sports performance. In this fascinating book, he argues that although the world seems to demand more and more specialization, what we actually need is more people “who start broad and embrace diverse experiences and perspectives while they progress”. I think his ideas even help explain some of Microsoft’s success, because we hired people who had a wide range of knowledge within their field and across fields. If you’re a generalist who has ever felt overshadowed by your specialist colleagues, this book is for you.

The New Jim Crow

Mass Incarceration(监禁) in the Age of Colorblindness

by Michelle Alexander

Alexander’s book offers an eye-opening look into how the criminal justice system unfairly targets communities of color and especially Black communities by explaining the history and presenting the numbers behind mass incarceration.

Breath from Salt

A Deadly Genetic Disease, a New Era in Science, and the Patients and Families Who Changed Medicine Forever

Race for Life, UK

What started off as a race of 680 women in a London park in 1994 to raise money for a cancer charity has now turned into a massive nationwide event, with thousands of women up and down the UK taking part every year.

AIDS / LifeCycle, US

Cyclists make the trip over seven days, stopping each night at designated camps to shower, eat and relax.

25、Waiting for the airplane to take off, I was happy to get a seat by myself. Just then, an air hostess came up to me and asked, “Would you mind   your seat? A couple would like to sit together.” The only available(有空的)seat was next to a girl with her arms in casts(石膏绷带), a black-and-blue face, and a sad expression. “I am not going to sit there,” I thought immediately.
