21、The British has obeyed the “keep to the left” rule for long. Have you ever wondered why? There is an historical reason for this: it’s all to do with keeping your sword hand free! In the Middle Ages you never knew who you were going to meet when travelling on horseback. Most people are right-handed, so if a stranger passed by on the right of you, your right hand would be free to use your sword if required.
Indeed the “keep to the left” rule goes back even further in time; archaeologists have discovered evidence suggesting that the Romans drove carts and wagons on the left, and it is known that Roman soldiers always marched on the left. This “rule of the road” was officially sanctioned in 1300 AD when Pope (教皇) Boniface Ⅷ declared that all pilgrims (朝圣者) travelling to Rome should keep to the left.
This continued until late 1700s when large wagons became popular for transporting goods. These wagons were drawn by driver sat on the horse at the back left, thus keeping his whip hand free. Sitting on the left however made if difficult to judge the traffic coming the other way, as anyone who has driven a left hand drive car along the winding lanes of Britain will agree!
In Britain there wasn’t much call for these massive wagons and the smaller British vehicles had seats for the driver to sit on behind the horses. As most people are right-handed, the driver would sit to the right of the seat so his whip hand was free. Traffic congestion in 18th century London led to a law being passed to make all traffic on London Bridge keep to the left in order to reduce collision. This rule was incorporated (并入) into the Highway Act of 1835 and was adopted throughout the British Empire.

22、A 17-year-old Bangladeshi boy has won this year’s International Children’s Peace Prize for his work to fight cyberbullying(网络欺凌)in his country.

23、 The morning after an evening flight with my then three-year-old daughter, I couldn’t wait to get her to school. I was tired from the anger, and her inability to communicate because of her slowed language development.
As I accompanied her into the car, I felt desperate. Nothing was right with our world. She had been born around the same time the nation was witnessing the birth of another Great Recession(经济萧条）.My job and my house had been victims. Then this happened. My child’s language delay was identified, but doctors struggled to properly diagnosis her. I felt like we both needed to be rescued.
I returned that afternoon as disenchanted with the little girl I loved as when I left.
Walking slowly toward the school’s playground gate, I found her preschool teacher racing to greet me.
“You should have seen her today!” His breathy words were supported by excitement. I didn’t interrupt.“See that climber.”He pointed to a piece of wooden playground equipment that looked like a rock wall. I nodded. “Well, every day since she started school, She’s tired and failed to make it to the top.” He took a breath. “And today she made it.
He expressed his joy just like he'd witnessed her conquering (征服) Mount Everest “”She cheered and celebrated! I wish l'd recorded it.” . His words comforted me. My daughter had conquered her mountain.As she ran toward me, I recognized something I hadn't before. I saw her perseverance. I saw her strength.I saw a hero.

24、Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.
【1】 Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Some burst with anger, screaming and yelling, or even throwing and smashing things. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.
For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones(荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. 【2】 Containing this urge(冲动) for long may increase the risk of diseases and worsen the emotion.
Some doctors say that expressing anger can be dangerous as well. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
【3】 The first step they advise is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “【4】 Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”
And another good way to deal with anger, as doctors add, is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. 【5】
A．In general the person feels excited and ready to act.
B．After all, laughter is the most effective cure for bad emotions.
C．It’s not wise to express anger violently either.
D．They advise you to escape from the reality for a while.
E．Do not express your anger while angry.
F．People may cope with their anger in various ways.
G．Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.
