21、 You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. 【1】“They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化)your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.
【2】They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail.【3】 They believe their dance with each sacred (神圣的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.
Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺) in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others—and even themselves—to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. 【4】
In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime.【5】He may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.
In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.
A.Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter.
B.Compared with victims, creators are more emotional.
C.One’s experiences determine his attitude toward life.
D.Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently.
E.Another with the same experience may choose to be a creator.
F.“They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering.
G.Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.

23、 At the end of 1978, China put forward a package of new thoughts on national development. The most important of them was to shift the priority of the nation to economic development, which has since become the central task of CPC organizations and governments at all levels. Economic growth was the primary measurement of the development of a region and performance of an official. It became national agreement that economic growth offered the solution to the problems facing China.
Seeing that manufacturing was a strong promoter of economic growth, China's central and local governments put great emphasis on it. But in the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s the country was short of money to build up this capital-intensive (资本密集) sector, which requires buying equipment and land, building factories, and hiring workers. It therefore looked to foreign investors who were looking for opportunities in the Chinese market.
Foreseeing the multiple benefits of foreign investment including tax contribution, job creation, raise in local income, local governments raced to look for foreign capital. To compete against their peers, some regions offered extra favorable policies like tax cuts or breaks, discounted land prices or even free land. Some even went to the extent of lowering or abandoning environmental protection requirements.
While going after foreign investors, regional governments also struggled to seek domestic banks for loans to local enterprises. Meanwhile, they set up their own financing platforms to raise funds for local manufacturing and infrastructure (基础设施) to stimulate economic growth.
These efforts paid off. The economy rose rapidly all over the country, with few regions reporting GDP growth rate below 10 percent. A series of new infrastructure was completed, and manufacturing sprang in both rural and urban areas. But the side effects soon came up. The supply of low-priced or even free land to foreign investors led to a sharp rise in land development for industrial projects and a steep fall in farmlands. Realizing these problems, China began to correct its neglect of other aspects during the pursuit of economic growth.
【1】What central task did the Chinese government advocate in 1978?
A.Environmental protection. B.Economic growth.
C.Manufacture promotion. D.Capital accumulation.
【2】How did China solve the capital problem?
A.By loaning money from foreign banks. B.By selling equipment and land.
C.By seeking foreign investors. D.By raising funds from the public.
【3】Which of the following statements is True?
A.China's economy experienced ups and downs.
B.Foreign investment was a win-win policy.
C.GDP growth in many regions was below 10 %.
D.Policies were adopted for better environment.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.China's Problems in Promoting Economy
B.China's Policy in Foreign Investment
C.China's Success in Fighting Against Poverty
D.China's Efforts in Economic Development
24、 Though leaders from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) have announced a first-of-its-kind postponement of the Tokyo Summer Olympics because of the coronavirus epidemic, people all over the world are still concerned about its preparations. Officials from the Tokyo Olympic Committee say they are sparing no effort and announce the Tokyo Summer Olympics in 2021 is going green. The 5,000 medals Japan has made are more special than most.
One novel focus of the Tokyo Olympics is to be “sustainable”—to avoid using too many natural resources, so that the games are easy on the environment. As part of this goal, the organizers decided to make all of the Olympic medals out of metal recycled from old electronics.
Almost all electronics are made with small amounts of “precious metals”, like gold and silver. But collecting enough of these metals to make 5,000 medals was a huge challenge. That’s because the amount of metal in each device is tiny. It would take about 20,000 cell phones to get just 1 kilogram of gold.
Beginning in April 2017, the organizers placed collection boxes around the country, and asked people to turn in their old electronic devices. Soon people began to respond to the initiative (倡导), turning in smart phones, digital cameras, handheld games, and laptops. At first, collection went slowly, but soon more and more areas began to take part. By the end, 1,621 local governments had helped out with the collection process.
Then came the job of breaking those devices down into smaller pieces. After being taken apart and sorted, the small electronics were smelted (熔炼) to get all the gold, silver, and bronze elements. This is a tricky job, which calls for careful attention and good skill. It’s also dangerous, because some of the metals and other things aren’t safe for people to touch or breathe.
By the end of March, 2019, the organizers had hit their targets of getting enough metal for the medals. They had collected around 32 kilograms of gold, 4,100 kilograms of silver and 2,200 kilograms of bronze. And now all the 5,000 medals are available for the would-be winners.
【1】What can we know about the Tokyo Olympics medals?
A.They are hugely valuable. B.They are of high quality.
C.They are made from e-waste. D.They are designed uniquely.
【2】What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A.The difficulty of making the medals.
B.The initiative to recycle used smart phones.
C.The classification of the collected devices.
D.The process of collecting old electronics.
【3】The underlined word “tricky” in Paragraph 5 means “________”.
A.creative B.demanding C.well-paid D.time-consuming
【4】What’s the purpose of Tokyo’s way of making the medals?
A.To advocate sustainable use of resources.
B.To promote the spirit of Olympic Games.
C.To introduce a new technique to make medals.
D.To call people’s attention to environmental damage.

The effects were ________. Within a few years, Bonestell’s artwork was appearing regularly in magazines and books ________ astronomy and space flight.
Many of Bonestell’s artworks had been right all along. ________ the biggest surprise was the Moon. Someone asked Bonestell what he was thinking when he saw the first pictures from the Moon. “I thought how ________ I was!” he said. “My mountains were. sharp (陡峭的), and they aren’t on the Moon.”
