21、For hundreds of years, possibly much longer, hot pot has always been one of China’s most popular foods. It is so popular that people joke any problem can be solved over hot pot. With a hot pot, you can put in any ingredient (食材) that you like. The same pot can serve meals to all the people sitting around the table. No one is left out, and everyone gets to eat as much or as little as they want. 【1】The fire from a hot pot can melt just about any icy disagreement and warm just about any heart.
Perhaps the most popular kind of hot pot is Sichuan hot pot, with its spicy red peppers. What makes Sichuan hot pot different from other hot pots is the use of huajiao. 【2】It also has the strange effect of making the red peppers taste even hotter.
【3】Beijing hot pot uses lamb and many of the same ingredients as Sichuan hot pot, but has a lighter taste. The Northeast Chinese hot pot usually contains pork and pickled cabbage, while Guangdong hot pot uses a chicken or a fish broth (汤底). 【4】.
In every city and town in China, there are hot pot restaurants crowded with people eating, talking and laughing. 【5】You can choose your own favorite ingredients.

22、In her outstanding book, “Choose the Happiness Habit”, Pam Golden wrote, “Take the story of two twin brothers for example. One grew up and became an alcoholic (酒鬼), while the other became a successful businessman. When asked why he became an alcoholic, the alcoholic replied, “Because my father was a drunk.” However, the successful businessman’s answer was also “Because my father was a drunk.” when asked why he succeeded. The same background. The same upbringing (培养). However, the results were quite different. Why? The reason is that they had different choices. The brothers chose different thoughts which formed the situations they found themselves in at last, so they had different experiences.
There was a time in my life when I thought difficulty was due to “bad luck”. Have you ever heard the saying “When it rains, it pours”? That was my answer when others asked me how things were going on when I was in trouble. So what do you think I got? “RAIN”. More and more “RAIN”. I couldn’t understand why bad luck was always with me.
Pam Golden says, “You’re either living in the problem or you’re living in the solution.” Now, when I’m faced with what I used to think was a negative (消极的) situation, I use a different way to think about it. I force myself to replace those negative thoughts that make me lose heart in my mind with positive thoughts which encourage me to fight against the difficulty bravely. Sometimes I write down some ideas that may be a solution, which I combine with the lessons I have learned from the bad situations and the difficulties that troubled me in the past, and often, I find a solution to the problem soon. It seems that I should thank the difficulty I met with. The RAIN that poured in my world has become great experiences that provide me with valuable experience, from which I can benefit.
Now, it doesn’t “rain” as much in my life as it used to. In fact, most days are beautiful, cloudless and sunny! Sometimes I do get a rain, but I think it makes me stronger just like the rain helps plants grow up.
【1】The example of the twin brothers shows that ________.
A. making good choices is the most important
B. education decides a person’s future
C. upbringing makes a big difference
D. it is luck that leads to success
【2】What does “RAIN” mentioned in the second paragraph refer to?

C. How the author gets help from others.
D. How the author lives in the problem.
【4】Which of the following agrees with the author’s attitude now in the text?
A. All things are difficult before they are easy.
B. Meeting with difficulty is not a bad thing.
C. Misfortunes tell us what fortune is.
D. Things at the worst will mend.
23、Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is "Don't!".But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act,although the chances of his becoming famous are slim.The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school.Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted,and the course lasts two years.Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a theatrical company（剧团）,usually as an assistant stage manager.This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre and occasionally acting in very small parts.It is very hard work indeed,the hours are long and the salary is tiny.
Of course,some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and success without this long and hard training.Connie Pratt,for example,was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory.A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop,as he drove past in his car.He stopped and got out to speak to the girl.He asked her if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test,and she thought he was joking.Then she got angry and said she would call the police.It took the producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious. Then test was successful.And within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day.But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!

24、“You’re fired!” Andrew wasn’t joking. At that moment, the high school junior wanted his personal care attendant, Christy, out of his life forever. “You’re fired!” He said it again for extra emphasis Christy didn’t draw back, for she needed this job. Hurricane Katrina had damaged her savings along with her house. But the retired PE teacher wasn’t discouraged. She was a tough nut.
When eight-year-old Andrew was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome (阿斯伯格综合征), people told his mom, Cindy, to get him on the list for an attendant to provide after-school care. However, in New Orleans, the wait can be years. Cindy chose a program through Volunteers of America. Even so, it was eight years before they were matched with Christy. Meanwhile, Andrew’s family did their best to shelter him from life’s hardships.
There was a lot to worry about. Could Andrew graduate from high school? Would he ever have a job? Could he live independently? “Andrew wouldn’t take a step without his mother’s permission,” Christy says. “So letting him suffer setbacks (挫折) is the only way he can learn to do things on his own.”
Soon, Cindy would no longer write Andrew’s papers for him. Christy wouldn’t be helping him with homework either. He complained, loudly at times. But then things began to change. Andrew would start on his homework after school. Christy showed him how to get organized. And she coached him on how to deal with disappointment. Once his work was done, Christy offered freedom. She’d take him to the bookstore, the movies, or out to eat his favourite food.
One step at a time, Andrew gained independence. He graduated from high school and entered community college. And he stopped trying to fire Christy. Last spring, Andrew moved into his own apartment, above the family’s garage. He’s working toward an associate’s degree in video game design.
He’s studying to get his learner’s permit to drive. At 25, he says life has never been better. There is no doubt that Andrew and Christy have done it together.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Milo is a rescue dog, adopted by twenty-year-old Mary Swift. But the dog is also a rescuer.
One morning in November 2021, Swift was ready to go jogging as usual, with Milo following her happily. To her surprise, as soon as she opened the front door, Milo took off running towards the gate quickly. It was very unusual. He always ran after his master.
Outside the gate, Milo was looking around the neighborhood, looking a little alert. Suddenly, he ran straightly to the house across the street, barking loudly and sniffing around. He seemed unsatisfied with this house. He quickly ran to the one next door. He stopped there and turned to Swift, barking more loudly, with his tail swinging crazily. Swift followed him, shouting sharply “Stop, Milo!” Some passing neighbors were looking disapprovingly (不满地) at them.
Swift was kind of embarrassed. Not everyone wanted a strange dog on their property and liked hearing a dog’s barks in the quiet morning. She tried to get Milo to go back, but Milo seemed not to follow the master’s order. He started to scratch on the front door. Swift wondered, “Why is he trying to break into the house?” She looked at the house, which belonged to Sherry Starr, who was 85 years old and seldom walked out of her house. It was the time for her to trim her bushes in the garden. Somehow, she wasn’t there that day.
Although Swift was a little doubtful, she still tried to drag Milo away. But at this time she could hear a sound coming through an open upstairs window.
注意：
