21、An elderly couple lived far away from their children. They noticed that they were beginning to forget many little things around the house. They were afraid that this could be perilous, as one of them might forget to turn off the stove(火炉)and thus cause a fire. They were so worried that they decided to see their doctor to get some help. Their doctor told them that it was unnecessary to take medicine and that many people of their age found it useful to write themselves little notes as reminders. The elderly couple thought this wonderful, and left the doctor’s office very pleased with the advice.
When they got home, the wife said, “Dear, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream? And why don’t you write that down so you won’t forget?”
“Don’t be silly,” said the husband. “I can remember a dish of ice cream!”
“Well,” said the wife, “I’d also like some strawberries on it. You should write that down, because I know you’ll forget.”
“Come on, my memory’s not that bad,” replied the husband. “A dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can remember that!”
And with that, the husband shut the kitchen door behind him. The wife could hear him getting out pots and pans, and making some noise, preparing the dish. He came out of the kitchen about 15 minutes later.
Walking over to his wife, he presented her with a plate of fried eggs. The wife took a look at the plate, glanced up at her husband and said, “Hey, where’s the toast?”

22、One key to getting along well with people is knowing when to say you’re sorry. 【1】 Many of us are ashamed or have too much pride. Sometimes we just don’t know how to do it. Here are some tips that may make it easier to say you’re sorry.
【2】 The first step in apologizing is to admit to yourself that you have offended someone. And then it’s important to let the person you hurt know that you didn’t mean to do harm. At the same time, you must show that you take your mistakes seriously. Recognize that your actions caused a problem for the other person.
Show your regret. The other person needs to see that you have suffered, too.【3】 For instance, “I felt bad the minute I told your secret. I am ashamed of myself.”
Repair the damage.【4】 If you damaged someone’s property, offer to fix it. If the damage isn’t so obvious, ask, “What can I do to make it up to you?” There may be nothing concrete(具体的)you can do, but the offer must be sincere. “I’ll try to keep my mouth shut in the future. Meanwhile, let me buy you a cup of coffee.” Another way to repair the damage is to send a note or a small gift.
Use good timing.【5】 For example, if you bump(碰撞)into someone, say you’re sorry right away. Don’t wait until the next day to apologize. However, if you have done something more serious, like insulting (侮辱)a friend, your apology should be more thoughtful. A quick apology might seem insincere. Take the time to sit down, look the person in the eye, and apologize honestly.
Remember, it’s not about who “won” or “lost”. It’s about keeping a strong friendship.
A.Take responsibility and explain.
B.An apology must correct the injury.
C.Apologize right away for little things.
D.But it’s hard to apologize.
E.Come right out and say you are sorry or ashamed.
F.Sometimes little comments or actions can hurt or offend others.
G.You may know it right away that you have done something hurtful.
23、You signed up for soccer, and played every game of the season. Sure, you're not the best player on the team, but most days you gave it your all. Do you deserve a trophy (奖杯)?
If the decision is up to Carol Dweck, the answer would likely be no. She's a psychology professor at Stanford University, California. She says a player doesn't have to be the best to get a trophy. But those who receive an award should have to work for it. She suggests trophies go to the most improved player, or the one who contributed most to the team spirit, as well as to those who play the best.
“The trophy has to stand for something,” Dweck told TFK. “If we give a trophy to everyone, then the award has no value.” Dweck argues that giving kids trophies for particular reasons, such as improving in a sport, teaches kids that adults value hard work and trying our best.
Others say that there's no harm in giving awards to all kids who play a sport, regardless of how they played or whether or not they improved.
“I think we should encourage kids' participation in sports,” says Kenneth Barish, a psychology professor at Weill Cornell Medical College, in New York City. “A trophy is one way to encourage kids' efforts.”
Barish argues that when we single out only the best or even the most improved players with a trophy, we are teaching kids the wrong lesson. We are sending the message that winning is everything. “Winning is only part of the equation (等式),” Barish told TFK. “Playing sports also teaches kids about teamwork and the importance of exercise.”
There will be plenty of opportunities for kids to learn about competition as they get older, says Barish. They'll soon realize that only one soccer team wins the World Cup and only one football team wins the Super Bowl. For now, he thinks there's nothing wrong with letting all kids who play a sport feel like winners. That means trophies for everyone.
【1】According to Carol Dweck, which player should receive a trophy?
A.Tony, the most attractive player of the soccer team.
B.David, a soccer player who is both clever and funny.
C.Peter, who is ready to help his partners to score goals.
D.Jim, a soccer player who tries his best to win the game
【2】Which of the following statements would Kenneth Barish agree with?
A.There is no sense in giving a trophy to everyone.
B.Kids fond of playing sports should be rewarded.
C.Kids should be given trophies for trying their best.
D.It is necessary to encourage kids' participation in sports.
【3】The underlined phrase “single out” in Paragraph 6 probably means “________”.
A.honor
B.choose
C.value
D.stress
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A.Who deserves a trophy?
B.All kids deserve a trophy
C.What does a trophy deserve?
D.Best player deserves a trophy
24、What Theresa Loe is doing proves that a large farm isn’t a prerequisite for a modern grow-your-own lifestyle. On a mere 1/10 of an acre in Los Angeles, Loe and her family grow, can (装罐) and preserve much of the food they consume.
Loe is a master food preserver, gardener and canning expert. She also operates a website, where she shares her tips and recipes, with the goal of demonstrating that everyone has the ability to control what’s on their plate.
Loe initially went to school to become an engineer, but she quickly learned that her enthusiasm was mainly about growing and preparing her own food. “ got into cooking my own food and started growing my own herbs(香草)and foods for that fresh flavor,” she said. Engineer by day, Loe learned cooking at night school. She ultimately purchased a small piece of land with her husband and began growing their own foods.
“I teach people how to live farm-fresh without a farm,” Loe said. Through her website Loe emphasizes that ‘‘anybody can do this anywhere.” Got an apartment with a balcony (阳台)? Plant some herbs. A window? Perfect spot for growing. Start with herbs, she recommends, because “they’re very forgiving.” Just a little of the herbs “can take your regular cooking to a whole new level,” she added. “I think it’s a great place to start.” Then? Try growing something from a seed, she said, like a tomato or some tea.
Canning is a natural extension of the planting she does. With every planted food, Loe noted, there’s a moment when it’s bursting with its absolute peak flavor. “I try and keep it in a time capsule in a canning jar,” Loe said. “Canning for me is about knowing what’s in your food, knowing where it comes from.”
In addition to being more in touch with the food she’s eating, another joy comes from passing this knowledge and this desire for good food to her children: “Influencing them and telling them your opinion on not only being careful what we eat but understanding the bigger picture,” she said, “that if we don’t take care of the earth, no one will.”
【1】The underlined word “prerequisite” (Para. 1) is closest in meaning to“ ”.
A.recipe
B.substitute
C.requirement
D.challenge
【2】Why does Loe suggest starting with herbs?
A.They are used daily.
B.They are easy to grow.
C.They can grow very tall.
D.They can be eaten uncooked.
【3】According to Loe, what is the benefit of canning her planted foods?
A.It can preserve their best flavor.
B.It can promote her online sales.
C.It can better her cooking skills.
D.It can improve their nutrition.
【4】What is the “the bigger picture” (Para. 6) that Loe wishes her children to understand?
A.The knowledge about good food.
B.The way to live a grow-our-own life.
C.The joy of getting in touch with foods.
D.The responsibility to protect our earth
