21、A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her, and she did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.
Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.
The daughter impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them on a plate. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a glass. Turning to her, he asked, “Darling, what do you see?” “Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied.
He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee. She smiled, as she tasted it.
“What does it mean, father?” she asked. He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong end hard. But after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they changed the water.
“Which are you?” he asked his daughter. When adversity knocks on your door in your life, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?

22、 Devote yourself to the work you do, not the prize you might get. Hao Jingfang, a Tsinghua University graduate, is pursuing her passion for writing and education.
In 2016, she won the admired Hugo Award with her novella, Folding Beijing, which made her the first female writer in China to bring home this prize. Later on, the author turned to education. She set up Tongxing Academy for public welfare education and WePlanets to promote children’s creativity after school.
In this interview with Easy Talk, Hao discusses her life experience-not only as a writer and educator, but also a parent.
“The major task for society is to help people get better education, to elevate their skill set in line with future technological advancements, and to broaden their horizons,” Hao said.
Since founding her company, Hao has been carrying out voluntary teaching programs in rural areas. “We really want these kids to have better education resources like kids from the cities,” she said. “We hope that the children from rural China, if one day they manage to live in the cities, can do more than car maintenance, for example. They will have the skills to take on other jobs.”
Different from the typical Chinese parents so ambitious for their children, Hao suggests giving kids more space for trial and error. “I do believe the best mentality for parents is to stand behind your children,” Hao said. “Let the child cope with the reality and decide for themselves. If they struggle with obstacles, you can offer them some guidance or encouragement.”
“I’ve had a wide variety of interests since childhood. I’ve got used to doing different things,” says the 35-year-old.
Being an economic researcher, a writer and businessperson herself, she encourages all women to discover their passions. “We live in a big, big world with boundless possibilities, various trades and different vocations. Don’t be too afraid to try something new. When you find the one thing that you want to commit to, you will become fearless to follow your dream.”
【1】What does the underlined word “elevate” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.research B.improve
C.recognize D.evaluate
【2】As far as parenting is concerned, Hao suggests Chinese parents should________.
A.let their children go freely.
B.be ambitious for their children.
C.give their children a hand only if necessary.
D.remove their children’s obstacles ahead of time.
【3】Which of the following best describes the interviewee?

23、Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, politics, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful .Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula. It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem. Great scientists before us didn’t get everything from school .Their teachers only showed them the way. Edison did not even finish primary school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. Above all , they knew how to use their brain.

24、 Reaching the legal age of adulthood is an important milestone in most cultures, and in Japan it is celebrated on Seijin no Hi, Coming of Age Day. It is celebrated on the second Monday in January. Until 1999, it used to be celebrated on January 15th.
The day honors young Japanese who will reach the age of 20 at any point during the year. Twenty is the age of majority in Japan, and people who have reached this age gain the right to vote in elections as well as to drink. Coming of Age ceremonies mark one’s coming of age, which reflects not only the expanded rights, but also increased responsibilities expected of new adults. The ceremonies are generally held in the morning at local city offices throughout Japan. All of the young people who live in the area are invited to attend, government officials give speeches, and small gifts are handed out to the new adults.
Coming of Age Day remains a popular holiday, but Japan’s reduction in population growth in recent years means that fewer people are turning 20 — only 1.24 million in 2013, compared to almost double that at the start of the 1970s.
Women celebrate the day by wearing special kimonos (和服) whose sleeves are long, as compared to the kimono with shorter sleeve portions worn by mature, married women. Some women will also wear baggy pants.
Most young women cannot put on a kimono themselves, and have to go to a kimono kitsuke, who dresses them. They also go to a hairdresser’s to have their hair done the day before or early in the morning. Many women rent their kimonos because of the high cost of buying one.
Most young men wear business suits, although sometimes men wearing dark-colored kimonos can be seen. Certainly, it is a much less expensive day for the young men than for the women.
Coming of Age Day has been a holiday since 1948. The modern legal age of 20 as adulthood was fixed in 1876. Coming of Age ceremonies are a tradition that exists earlier than this by some distance, but the age of becoming an adult was traditionally much younger 一 15 for boys and 13 for girls.
【1】Coming of Age Day ________.
A．is celebrated on January 15th nowadays

B．hand out some small gifts to their parents
C．give speeches in a public place
D．be gathered by the local government in the afternoon
【3】What can be inferred about Coming of Age Day from the passage?
A．Most young people wear their leisure clothes at the ceremony.
B．It is a less expensive day for young women than men.
C．All young men are required to wear business suits at the ceremony.
D．The number of attendees of the ceremonies has declined in recent years.
【4】Why do many young women rent their kimonos?
A．They want to save money to have their hair done.
B．They want to learn how to wear a kimono from a kimono kitsuke.
C．The kimonos are too special to be made by themselves.
