22、Being highly successful in any field is pretty rare. It takes a combination of natural talent, luck, determination, and plenty of outside support for someone to make it big in sports, entertainment, or business. But what if competing is all that matters to you, whether you are likely to succeed or not? This was the goal of Michael Edwards, better known as Eddie “The Eagle” Edwards, and his reaching that goal was an amazing achievement.
Born in the U.K. in 1963, Edwards was a passionate downhill skier whose dream was to compete for Britain in world-class competitions. He would have liked to represent his country in the 1984 Winter Olympics, but there were a large number of downhill competitors, and Edwards didn’t qualify. Seeing his chance elsewhere, he switched to ski jumping. Ski jumping didn’t cost as much as downhill skiing, and there was almost no competition for a place on the British team.
But a number of hurdles could have meant the end of Edwards’ dream. He weighed more than most competitors. He had no financial support for his training. Poor eyesight meant that he had to wear glasses under his goggles (护目镜) — not a good thing when they steamed up at high altitudes. But he couldn’t let any of these discourage him. He saw himself as a true lover of the sport who simply wanted the chance to compete. Winning wasn’t the point. Having the opportunity to try was all he cared about. And nothing could stop him from trying.
In the end, Edwards took 55th place at the 1987 World Championships. He then went on to the Calgary Olympics in 1988, where he finished last in both of his events. Many athletes would have been embarrassed by this result, but he is proud of his achievements to this day. His determination to fight against all the odds made him a global hero, and in 2016, the inspiring film Eddie the Eagle was made about his life.
【1】Why did Michael Edwards choose ski jumping?

D．Obstacles.
【3】What made Michael Edwards outstanding?
A．His determination to win.
B．His attitude towards the Olympics.
C．His passion for the sport.
D．His ability to overcome physical disabilities.
【4】What is the best title of the text?
A．Michael Edwards: A Household Athlete
B．Competition Is All That Matters to Michael Edwards
C．Michael Edwards: Took Every Chance to Learn
D．Nothing Can Stop Michael Edwards Seeking Success
23、Most children now chat daily online or via their mobile phones. They are connecting to a huge community of other children all over the world. Some are shy “in real life” but socialise with confidence online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues, or problems at home.
Sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can introduce problems, such as bullying or arguments. Going online is great fun, but there are also a few people who use the Internet for offensive or illegal purposes. Children must be made aware of both the good things and the dangers.
To keep children safe, your supervision as a parent must cover the family computer. Just as you decide which TV programs are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites and chatrooms your children visit.
Remind children that online friends are still strangers. Reminding them of the risks will keep them alert(警惕的).
Computer studies are part of schoolwork now, so it’s likely that your children may know more than you do. We get left behind when it comes to the interactive areas of websites, like chatrooms and message boards, which are especially strange. The language of chat is strange to many parents, too. Chatters love to use abbreviations(缩写)such as atb— all the best, bfn—bye for now, cul8er—see you later, gr8— great, idk—I don’t know, kit— keep in touch, paw—parents are watching, lol—laugh out loud, xlnt—excellent! It seems like another language, and it is!

24、 Just in a few years out of law school, I decided that I wanted to write fiction. The only thing I had ever published before was a law-review article. I had made great efforts to write when I came home at night after work, but I was too tired. I decided to quit my job.
I began my new life on a February morning. I sat down at my kitchen table at 7:30 am and made a resolution. Every day I would write until lunchtime. Then I would lie down on the floor for 20 minutes to rest my mind. After that, I would return to work for a few more hours.
In my first year, I sold two stories. Then I wrote a novel, but I thought it wasn't good enough, so I ended up putting it in a drawer. My second novel, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, was published with glowing(热情赞扬的) reviews and received the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction.
My success sounds like a familiar story, but actually it was far from suddenness. I quit my job, and for every story I published in those years, I had at least 30 rejections. The novel that I put away in the drawer took me four years. My breakthrough came in 2006, 18 years after I first sat down to write at my kitchen table.
Sometimes genius(天赋) is just the thing that comes out after 20 years of working at your kitchen. Also, doing something truly creative requires the energy of youth. Orson Welles made his masterpiece, Citizen Kan, at 26. T.S. Eliot wrote The Love Song of J. Afred Prufrock at 27.
【1】When did the author decide to devote himself full-time to writing fiction？
A.When he was tired of his work.
B.Straight after graduation from law school.
C.On being informed his law-review article came out.
D.When his hobby was disturbed by his work.
【2】We can infer from the second paragraph that the author __________.
A.led a wealthy life B.arranged his life reasonably
C.was too hard-working to relax himself D.remained single
【3】What does the author mainly intend to tell us in Paragraph 4？
A.Failure is the mother of success. B.A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
C.It is never too old to learn. D.It is the first step that costs troublesome.
【4】Why does the author give the examples of Orson Welles and T.S. Eliot？
A.To make a comparison between them and himself.
B.To show creativity needs energy.
C.To persuade the readers of their great talents.
D.To recommend their two masterpieces.
