24、Sir Steven Redgrave—Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals

“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes (糖尿病), believing the profession(职业) trained for the whole of my life ended, I felt very sorry. Then one of my friends said there was no reason why I should stop training. That was it—the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn’t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”

Karen Pickering—Swimming World Champion (冠军)

“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that amount（总数） of work by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success—you can’t follow a profession in any field without being well-organized. Make a list of what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.”

Kristen Stewart—Actress

“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve anything. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to give most of your attention to one thing. When I feel nervous, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’, ‘peace’, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and improves my confidence. This is a habit and is a powerful psychological(心理学的) tool.”

26、On a summer day, a man sitting under a tree on the bank of a river, watched a group of ducks on the river.

Soon a branch（树枝）with leaves came drifting（漂浮）among them, and they all flew away. After circling in the air for a little time, they landed again on their feeding ground.

Soon another branch came drifting down among them, and again they took flight from the river. But when they found the branch had drifted by without any danger, they flew down to the water as before.

After four or five branches had drifted by in this way, the ducks gave little attention to them. At last, they hardly tried to fly out of their way, even when the branches nearly touched them.

The man who was watching all this, now wanted to know who had drifted these branches. He looked up the river, and noticed a fox slyly（偷偷地）watching the ducks. “What will he do next?” thought the man.

When the fox saw that the ducks were no longer afraid of the branches, he took a much larger branch, and hid himself behind it. Then he drifted himself with the larger branch. When he was right among the ducks, he caught two young ducks quickly and swam off with them. The rest of the ducks flew away in fright（惊吓）, and did not come back for a long time.

The fox must have enjoyed a fine dinner for what he had done.

27、The Palace Museum   has always been a must-see for Chinese and foreign tourists, which is the   cultural treasure of China. Since 2018, more than 80 percent of the Forbidden   City has been opened to the public and the number of tourists increased rapidly and reached to 1.7million.

In recent years, the   Palace Museum has drawn   more and more people’s attention by its fresh new events. From new media tools to the creative cultural products, from grand activities to attractive TV shows, the Palace Museum has achieved amazing success. To keep pace with the times, the old palace is updating (更新) in many fashionable ways.

Since 2014, to deliver the image of ―A Warm Forbidden City to the public, new   media   tools   of   the   Palace   Museum   have   changed   a   lot.   Its   Weibo   keeps showing the palace’s charm (魅力) by posting its beautiful photos of four seasons and lovely cats. From the coldness of history to the style of common   touch,   the image undoubtedly won more favors.

Museum–themed products, such as tapes, fans, notebooks and lipsticks, are designed in fashionable ways. They often cause a buzz on Chinese social networks.The sales approached (接近) CNY 1.5 billion in 2017. ―These creations provide a new view for understanding the palace and traditional culture, said a user on Weibo. The increased income, without raising the ticket price, also made it possible for the Palace Museum to hold 60,000 educational activities in 2018.

The light festival is another idea. It was the first time the Palace Museum was lit up at night and opened to the public for the Lantern Festival. The light show, which provided audience   with full sensory (感官的)   experiences,   has wowed the crowd.   Therefore,   people   have   a   new   choice   to   celebrate   the   Lantern   Festival besides watching the Gala Show on TV at home.

For those who have been to the museum before, a TV show about the Forbidden   City evokes (唤起)   their interests in visiting it again.   As an audience said, ―Shang   Xin Le Gu Gong   makes me realize that there are always unknown areas to explore in the Forbidden City. In another TV show, The Nation’s Greatest Treasures,   nine leading   museums   come   together   to   introduce   the treasures   they look after. This has further raised people’s interests in more museums. These TV shows have brought   an instant   cultural heat and greatly increased   the number   of visitors in these museums.

Nation stays alive when its culture stays alive. Through these ways, the Palace Museum and other museums not only carry forward their own history, but also call on people’s love for traditional culture. After all, it is the memory and symbol of a country’s history and the precious wealth of all mankind.

C．To explain reasons why the Palace Museum updates itself.

D．To introduce new ways to learn about the Palace Museum.

28、   As you grow older, there will be certain events that will mark your growth. Graduating from high school and getting your first job are just a few of these. What are some other ways in which we mark our j【1】  towards adulthood?

In the US, getting your driver’s license at the age of 16 is seen as a major coming-of-age (成人) ritual (仪式). You may have seen kids c【2】 their first car in movies and TV shows. It is the first true t【3】  of independence for most teenagers. But not every teenager gets a car right away. U【4】,  their parents will buy a second-hand car for them as their first car.

Another big coming-of-age event is the prom (毕业舞会). H【5】 at the end of the year, the prom is a graduation celebration for senior high school students. Teenagers wear fancy clothing, ask each other to dance and vote (投票) for a prom "king" and “queen". For many teenagers, prom is the biggest social event of the year. It's a time for them to dress and a【6】 like an adult.

And there's still more. At the age of 18, we can vote in the US and at 21, we can drink alcohol ( 酒 ).

This is also the time when most children m【7】 out of their parents' home for college or work. It is around this age that society starts to c【8】 us to be adults. But what does it really mean to be an adult?

Psychologist Jeffrey Arnett surveyed young adults and found three c【9】 adulthood goals: taking r【10】 for yourself, making independent decisions, and being financially (经济上) independent.

I agree with Arnett. Being an adult has more to do with one's maturity (成熟) If you want to drive, vote, drink, leave home or even start a romantic relationship, you have to make sure that you're ready to be responsible.

But before she could, she received a letter telling her that he had died, and gave all of his possessions (财产) to her. She needed to come back and take care of things.

When she arrived at his house, sadness _____ her heart. She saw the _____ new Bible, just as she had left it years before. With tears in her eyes, she opened it and began to turn the pages. A ring dropped from the Bible to the floor and a card could be seen. She picked it up and found it was the ring she wanted in those days. And on the card was the date of her birth, and the words “LOVE YOU ALWAYS”.
