21、We all see and hear about extraordinary people around us and wonder why we can’t be more like them. It’s not the big things that make someone extraordinary. Here are some small things that extraordinary people do every day:
●【1】That you’re the boss doesn’t mean you are right every time. Learn to back up your decisions with reason. Use logic(逻辑) to explain things, not authority. By doing this your decisions might invite criticism, but you will also get an opportunity to improve.
●They are generous with compliments（恭维）. Remember the time, when you worked really hard but got nothing in return? Not even a thank- you.【2】So every chance you get to praise someone, do it. A simple, “That was some great work, keep it up,” can go a long way in making the employees feel great about themselves.【3】●They are helpful. Never hesitate to help someone. It’s fairly simple but it goes a long way. Don’t say something vague（含糊）like, “Can I help you?” because they might just say, “No, I’m good.”【4】“I had the same problem with this coffee machine in the morning. I think I have figured a way to make it work.” Offer in a way that feels mutually beneficial .
●They’re in charge of their emotions. Sometimes it is very important to stay silent. Especially when you’re angry, you don’t want to end up saying things you didn’t really mean to. So they take their time to think about what happened, and then come to a decision about how to deal with it.【5】Never be too casual with words or actions.
A．They are sensitive to others.
B．The key is to be specific.
C．A compliment can have a positive impact on their lives.
D．When you feel awkward receiving a compliment, give the person a smile.
E．They are open to criticism.
F．It hurts when your efforts are not recognized.
G．Before you say anything, consider others’ feelings.

23、A European street today may smell like coffee, fresh-baked bread and cigarettes. 【1】? Historians and scientists across Europe have now gotten together with perfumers (香水制造者) and museums for a unique project called “Odeuropa”—to capture what Europe smelled like between the 16th and early 20th centuries.
To successfully finish this three-year-long project, the researchers need to find all the old scents of Europe-and even recreate some of this ancient smellscape. To do this, they will first build artificial intelligence that will be trained to scan historical texts, written in seven different languages, for any descriptions of smells. 【2】.
The “Encyclopedia (百科全书) of Smell Heritage” will include the meaning of certain scents and will trace the stories behind scents, places and olfactory (嗅觉的) practices. 【3】, enabling future generations to access and learn about the scented past.
【4】, such as doctors. In the past, herbs were often used by European doctors to heal the sick. They smell special and their scents should be included in the encyclopedia. But just as history is filled with interesting and pleasant smells, it’s also filled with stinky (非常难闻的) ones.
“I find it particularly interesting to make the audience know about a whole range of scents such as a stinky canal,” said Caro Verbeek, a scent historian and member of the Odeuropa team. “It will make us more aware of how we relate to smell today and how differently smells were appreciated in the past. With current technology, almost every scent can be produced. 【5】. People haven’t always talked or written about them.”
A．It expressed a longing for the countryside life
B．But what did it smell like hundreds of years ago
C．Why is it filled with interesting and pleasant smells
D．It will become a record for the smell heritage of Europe
E．The more difficult part of the project will be to find descriptions of scents
F．The encyclopedia will also include descriptions of people for whom smell was important
G．The team will then use the information to create an encyclopedia of smells from Europe’s past
24、 Integrity is the quality of being honest and strong about what you believe to be right. The concept of integrity has played a key role in moral philosophy throughout history and is promoted in all societies because of its importance to social relations. Individual integrity is vital to society, one that enables people to make use of their capacity for critical reflection, does not force people to take up particular roles and does not encourage individuals to betray each other. Besides, societies can be favorable to the development of individual integrity.
Individual integrity can lift up the spirits of the entire society. It can shape the lives of people living in a particular society, the lives of all fellow people and, in its broadest sense, even the destiny of a nation. By contrast, if those living in the society are dishonest, it could have bad effects, jeopardizing the healthy morality of the society.
Additionally, a society can be favorable to the development of individual integrity. Society expects and requires integrity. A society consisting of people of integrity, and people who never compromise on their principles, could have a positive mark on the personal development of its members. Being a part of such a morally lively community could serve as a basis for absorbing traits of good character. This could be of a distinct advantage to any individuals in the society.
However, some social structures are of the wrong sort for some individuals to pursue integrity. If that is the case, we have to ask questions about the moral nature of society first before raising questions about individual integrity. Questions about integrity may turn out to be about what kind of society it is, rather than about the relationship between individual interests and characteristics of a society. The pursuit of adequate individual integrity often depends, not so much on understanding who one is and what one believes and is committed to, but rather understanding what one’s society is and imagining what it could be.
Under no circumstances can we underestimate the importance of human integrity in a society. People, who are honest, trustworthy, compassionate and caring, are the factors decisive in the growth of individuals as well as the development of a society.
【1】Individual integrity has been valued in society because ________.
A．it helps develop philosophy
B．it is important to social relations
C．it is the basis of critical thinking
D．it ensures people’s particular roles
【2】The underlined word “jeopardizing” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A．assessing
B．strengthening
C．destroying
D．influencing
【3】The writer believes that ________.
A．individual integrity depends on what one believes
B．the nature of society is decided by economic development
C．the pursuit of individual integrity changes with time
D．social structures guide the formation of individual integrity
【4】Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?
