21、Growing up in England, the best thing for my classmates and I was reading stories. Among them, The Ugly Duckling (《丑小鸭》 ) was a popular one.

The story of The Ugly Duckling describes a poor young bird. All the ducks laugh at him for his ugly looks- he is small and grey. Feeling sad, he runs away from home. Along the way, he meets wild ducks and hens, but can’t find a good friend. After lots of sadness and difficulty, the poor duckling looks down into a pond. He is shocked by his reflection (倒影) in the water. He finds that he has grown up to be a beautiful swan.

This children’s fairy tale has been beloved for years. It’s even been made into a musical and a Disney movie. Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen wrote it in 1843. The story teaches us many valuable lessons. For example, we should not judge (评价) a person by his or her looks. It is inner beauty that makes a person special.

The story’s message is world-famous. Today, we use the phrase “ugly duckling” to describe something ugly that ends up becoming beautiful later.

A．he can’t swim as well as the other ducks

22、On a sunny afternoon, a bug (虫子) suddenly flew in through a window and landed on a woman. She started shouting because of fear. Then she jumped around with both her hands shaking, trying to scare away the bug. Her reaction was very strong and everyone in her group got into fear.

The woman finally got the bug off her, but then it landed on another woman in the group. Now, it was her turn to continue the drama.

A waiter rushed to the table. The woman somehow managed to get the bug on the waiter. The waiter stood quietly and looked at the bug on his shirt. He carefully picked up the bug and threw it out of a window.

Drinking my coffee and watching the drama go on. I started wondering: was the bug responsible for what they behaved just now? If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed (干扰)?

He solved the problem perfectly without any fear. It was not the bug, but the inability of those people to deal with the disturbance caused by the bug that disturbed them.

I realized that it was not the shouting of my father or my boss that disturbed me, but my inability to deal with the disturbance caused by their shouting that disturbed me. It was not the traffic jams on the road but my inability to deal with the disturbance caused by traffic jams that disturbed me.

It is not the problem, but my reaction to the problem that creates disorder in my life.

23、A day at the shops can help you live longer, and surprisingly, the benefits are actually greater for men, says a study group from Taiwan. The study even suggests that shopping regularly is better than going to the gym. Seeing friends and just people-watching can stave off loneliness and improve psychological health, suggests the study. It looked at almost 1850 people aged 65 and over living alone at home in Taiwan, who were asked how often they went shopping. They found those who shopped daily lived longer than those who shopped less, with thinking of people’s physical or other health problems. By comparing with those who didn’t often go out to the shops had the best life record, with a 28% cut in their chances of dying, while older women saw a bit fewer benefits with a 23% cut in dying.   The researchers said, “An elder who shops less for food would be at risk of poorer diet to keep healthy. This makes a bad cycle. Shopping less causes poor health and poor health causes less shopping. ” But the study added, “In shopping situations, communicating with, or watching others can provide social and mental benefits. ” “Compared with other types of spare-time physical activity, like exercise, which usually needs motivation and sometimes professional instruction, shopping is easier to keep on.”
