21、If you have to attend a party or other social events where a lot of people will be present, do you feel confident that you will make a good impression on others? Or do you feel shy? In any case, you should increase your confidence at social events.
Whenever you are meeting new people at any social event, you should wear proper clothes. Before you attend the event, try to find out how other people will be dressing.

When you are making conversation with people, be sure to keep good eye contact, and make your facial expression soft. Nod to show you’re listening. Let your face and body relax so that you can make natural gestures.

Consider your cost. Before choosing a hobby, think about what you can reasonably afford. 【2】 For example, for a sport like hockey (曲棍球), you will need protective equipment, a stick, ice skates and so on, which can be expensive. If you’re short of money, look for a hobby that doesn’t cost you much.
Think about the time. If you’re very busy, you may not want a hobby which takes much time. Things like reading, or crossword puzzles can be done in small spare moments. 【3】 However, if you are rich in time, choose a hobby like gardening. It required to be done for a set number of hours each day.
【4】 Pick a hobby that makes you feel interested, or you will be likely to lose interest. For example, think about skills you are always eager to have. Have you at times imagined yourself as a talented singer? Teaching yourself to sing in your spare time may cheer you up.

23、 “No act of kindness,no matter how small,is ever wasted."
－Aesop
Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day.It's a day set aside to show extra kindness to the people around us-those we know and those we don't.Smiling and saying a few encouraging words is easy. But an act of kindness is something you actually do.A random act of kindness is usually unexpected and unplanned.Maybe you help someone carry groceries.Maybe you pay for a stranger's coffee.Or maybe send an encouraging note to a friend.
Caring for others is nothing new.In fact,the Bible tells everyone to"Love your neighbor as yourself."But who is your neighbor?There is an example in the story of"The Good Samaritan”。
It tells of a traveler who was robbed and beaten.A religious leader saw the man lying in the road but didn't stop to help.Another religious man also ignored him.But a Samaritan came along.He was a foreigner.He showed compassion and took care of the strangers' needs.He showed mercy.
Is helping strangers a thing of the past?Are people today too busy or too afraid to help someone they don't know?I know from experience that goodwill between strangers still exists.
One Sunday morning I was running late for church.As I started to drive off,I noticed an elderly lady.She was dragging a large piece of wood out of the rain.I was in a hurry,but I hesitated.Then I stopped my car,got out and helped her move the wood.
Months went by.Then one day,I saw some workmen cleaning out an old store.There in the pile of trash was a large Coca-cola cooler.How fun!A worker said I could have it,so I picked it up and started home.I didn't get very far.It was much heavier than I thought.Then out of the blue,the elderly lady appeared with a cart!I had helped her,and she was returning the favor.Go and help your neighbor today!

24、 Shanghai residents passing through the city's eastern Huangpu district in October might have astonished at an unusual sight: a “walking” building. An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground and relocated using new technology named the “walking machine.”
In the city's latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers attached nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-story building, according to Lan Wuji, chief technical supervisor (技术总监) of the project. The supports act like robotic legs. They're divided into two groups which alternately rise up and down, imitating the human pace. Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward, said Lan.
In recent decades, China's rapid modernization has seen many historic buildings razed to clear land for high-rise buildings. But there has been growing concern about the architectural heritage lost as a result of destruction across the country. Some cities have launched new preservation and conservation campaigns including, on occasion, the use of advanced technologies that allow old buildings to be relocated rather than destroyed.
Shanghai has possibly been China's most progressive city when it comes to heritage preservation. The survival of a number of 1930s buildings in the famous Bund district and 19th-century “Shikumen” houses in the rebuilt Xintiandi neighborhood have offered examples of how to give old buildings new life. The city also has a satisfying record of relocating old buildings. In 2018, the city relocated a 90-year-old building in Hongkou district, in what was then considered to be Shanghai's most complex relocation project to date.
The Lagena Primary School, which weighs 7,600 tons, posed a new challenge-it's T-shaped, while previously relocated structures were square or four-sided. Experts met to discuss possibilities and test a number of different technologies before deciding on the “walking machine”, Lan said. However, he couldn't share the exact cost of the project, and that relocation costs will differ case by case. “It can't be used as a reference, because we have to preserve the historical building no matter what,” he said. “But in general, it's cheaper than destroying and then rebuilding something in a new location.”
【1】How does the “walking” machine work?
A.It uses hundreds of ropes to lift up the entire building.
B.It uses many wheels to roll the building to the new place.
C.It lifts off the building story by story with the robotic legs.
D.It uses sensors to control the movement of mobile supports.
【2】What does the underlined word “razed” probably mean in Paragraph 3?
A.replaced B.burnt C.protected D.destroyed
【3】According to paragraph 3-4, what can we infer about the heritage preservation in China?
A.The use of advanced technology leads to growing concern.
B.Shanghai is the pioneer in preserving architectural heritage.
C.The local government has already taken action since the 1930s.
D.It consequently holds back the progress of modernization.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A.New preservation campaigns are launched in China.
B.Modernization poses threats to historic buildings.
C.A building in Shanghai “walks” to a new location.
D.“Walking machine” makes heritage protection cheaper.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Brett Bacon, along with his wife Lindsay and their newborn child, was out boating on the lake near their house in Lake Windermere in British Columbia when he saw something strange in the water.
At first Bacon just thought it was a carpet (地毯) in the water. As soon as he realized it was a bird and saw its wide wings and even its head popping up, he knew what it was.
It was a giant eagle. Eagles can actually get waterlogged (浸水的) as compared to other large birds that can go in the water and get out. It’s not strange to see eagles go into the water to catch fish and then pop back up, but this thing was wet through and struggling to stay above the water. It was trying to swim and trying to fly away, but it just couldn’t get out of the water at all. The large bird’s only chance to get out itself was by swimming but it was about a kilometer to shore (岸边) in any direction.
Seeing the state of the bird, Bacon knew he needed to do something to help it out. Lindsay started recording and caught what happened next on video, while their son lay on a seat across from Bacon.
Bacon brought the boat close to the eagle. It took a few tries. But after about fifteen minutes, Bacon was actually able to take hold of the bird and bring it into the boat. “People must have just thought I had a dog on my lap, but from my bottom to my head, he was the same height as me,” said Bacon.
As soon as the bird was in the boat, it immediately took off and dropped into the water again.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
“We need to pick it up again, so let’s turn around,” said Bacon.
