21、Derek Rabclo is not the only surfer to conquer Hawaii' s famous Pipeline big wave break, but while all others use their sight to do it, this young professional surfer must rely only on his other senses. That's because he is completely blind.
When Derek was born, over 24 years ago, he got his name from Derek Ho, the first Hawaiian surfing world champion. A surfing enthusiast himself, Emesto dreamed that his son would share the talent of his uncle, a professional surfer. Unfortunately, Derek was born completely blind, but this didn't stop his family from believing that he could do anything he wanted, even if that meant becoming a surfer.
At age 2, Derek received a bodyboard and the beaches of Guarapari, Brazil, became his backyard. He was always comfortable in the water and surfing was in his blood, but he didn’t actually try riding a wave until he turned 17, when his father bought him a surfboard. His father taught him the basics and encouraged him to keep practicing, but after successfully standing up on the surfboard, Derek knew he needed to become much better if he was going to achieve Emesto's dream and become a professional surfer. So he joined the Praia do Moroo surf school, where he studied under coach Fabio Maru.
Standing up on a surfboard and conquering small waves is one thing, while gathering the courage to take on Hawaii's board-breaking Pipeline is another. But that’s exactly what Derek Rabelo set out to do just months after learning how to surf. Everyone told him it was too dangerous, but he felt he could do it. And he did, earning the praise of famous professional surfers like Kelly Slater and Mick Fanning. Now 24, Rabelo has been surfing the Pipeline every winter since.
【1】What does the first paragraph tell us?
A. Good eyesight is necessary for becoming good suffers.
B. Nobody has ever conquered Hawaii’s big wave break.
C. Derek Rabelo dreams to conquer Hawaii's big wave break.
D. Derek Rabelo is the only blind professional surfer to conquer Hawaii’s big wave break.
【2】How did Ernesto behave after Derek was born?
A. He named him after his uncle.
B. He never lost confidence in him.
C. He sent him to a surfing champion.
D. He started his own interest in surfing.
【3】After Derek was able to stand up on the surfboard, he ________.
A. began to try riding a wave
B. was no longer afraid of water
C. realized he still had a long way to go
D. knew his father’s dream had come true

22、 Many may remember the 1998 film Mulan，the story of a young Chinese girl Pretending to be a man to take her father’s place in the army. After this film was released, McDonald’s began to serve a sauce called Mulan SzeChuan Sauce. Also in 2017，a cartoon show Rick and Morty, which featured a mad scientist and his adventures with his grandson, mentioned the SzeChuan sauce. Many fans have queued up for hours to buy it Packets of the sauce have even appeared on eBay selling for up to $ 250 each.
However, the sauce created by McDonald’s lacks any original Sichuan flavor. As one of the eight great cuisines of China, Sichuan cuisine is famous for its spicy dishes. But Dunlop says it’s a common misunderstanding that the cuisine focuses only on heat “Sichuan is about complex multilayered flavors,” she says. “The really interesting thing about Sichuan cuisine is its variety of flavors. A really good Sichuan meal is like a rollercoaster ride — you have spicy notes, sweet and sour notes, numbing and gentle flavors,” she says.
From the 1990s, Sichuan food took off. Currently, Sichuan hotpot is a hugely popular dish in China and the West, and dishes such as Mapo Tofu and Gong Bao Chicken are all famous and express the techniques and flavors of Sichuan cooking. Chef Key Chan, 65, born in Hong Kong to a family of chefs originally from Sichuan, is keen on passing down how to cook Sichuan cuisine. “Sichuan cuisine allows your taste the tip of your tongue to feel a ‘dancing sensation’,” says Chan.
【1】Why Mulan and Rick and Morty are mentioned in paragraph 1?
A.To inform kids of wonderful films.
B.To remind people of the cartoon characters.
C.To show how popular the SzeChuan sauce was.
D.To indicate how expensive the SzeChuan sauce was.
【2】What can we know about Sichuan cuisine from paragraph 2?
A.It only focuses on heat.
B.It involves various flavors.
C.It is the greatest cuisine in China.
D.It is best represented by Mulan SzeChuan Sause.
【3】Which of the following best explains “took off” underlined in paragraph 3?
A.Left in a hurry. B.Was quickly forgotten.
C.Began to fly. D.Became popular quickly.
【4】How does Chan feel about Sichuan cuisine?
A.Amazing. B.Just so-so.
C.Simple. D.Strange.

24、How to Find Your Inner Self
Figuring out who you are and your place in the world is a life-long task. 【1】 Once you realize that finding yourself is an ongoing process, not some sort of goal you must achieve, you’ll realize that you know much more about your inner self than you’ve ever imagined. Here are a few tips that can help you find your inner self.
Think about the moments you are most proud of in your life.
Finding meaning in your life is not easy, nor should it be, but you can get wonderful clues from your own past. 【2】, as they often give you the most meaning and purpose while working, traveling, or learning.
【3】.
As you reflect on things that made you proud, think about what these experiences reveal about your values. Try asking yourself, what values are connected with the things that make me feel proud?
Determine the things you want in life.
Finding your inner self is as much about looking forward as looking back. Whether it is a job, a house in your favorite town, a loving partner, or lazy Sundays with a book, your desires reveal a lot about you. Simply write down the things you want in life.
Look beyond the labels(标签) given to you by others.
【4】 These labels are important to help define your roles and responsibilities in the world, but they are not you. They are just labels, and you are far more complex than a few words.
Remember that finding your inner self is a life-long process because you are always changing. Looking back on your life, note how often you were wrong about yourself. 【5】 Even if you’re sure about yourself now, this change will always happen as you move through life.
A．Recognize your values.
