21、   I used to believe that love meant putting everyone else and their needs first, before my own. While I do think there is some truth to that, in the sense that being a giving person is one of the ultimate acts of being a loving person, I came to realize that I must give to and love myself first and foremost.

Here's why. When you put everyone and everything else above you, you are no longer valuing yourself and your needs. And when you are not meeting your needs, and you don't take care of yourself （emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually）, you can't be the best version of yourself to the special people in your life. So in fact, you don't love them at your full potential!

Here are some things to consider. Are you physically taking care of yourself? Do you nourish yourself with the right foods? Do you get enough sleep and exercise? Are you at a healthy weight, and on top of your check-ups? If not, I bet your energy is low, you're tired and stressed, and your confidence isn't the highest （because you probably don't feel your best）. Now think about how much more you could give to others when you aren't exhausted, you're happy with what you see in the mirror, and you aren't on edge with stress.

Are you emotionally and mentally healthy? As humans, we're so complex and having ups and downs is normal. But in general, assess where you stand emotionally. If it's in a healthy place and you can manage your emotions in a healthy way - great! But if you self-soothe（自我安慰）in destructive ways and have a negative attitude and energy about you, realize that it's not just affecting you, but others too. When you aren't an emotionally and mentally healthy person, that energy pours into everything you do, and everyone you're around will feel the effects, too.

How's your spirituality? In this sense, spirituality is about having an ultimate purpose and being in tune with your true self. Do you wake up every day excited for what your life is about, and have gratitude for all the abundance you already have? If not, you may not be listening and living to what your heart truly desires. Living this way long term, may affect the essence（本质）of your inner being and, in turn, may not allow you to show up your very best for the world.

Be kind to yourself. It can be difficult to put your health and well-being first when life is demanding between your career, family, friendships, relationships, and so on. If you can think of any ways to improve your well-being and love yourself more, start today! Take a baby step towards this. Perhaps try getting an hour more of sleep. Move your body in a way that feels good. Take time for yourself to be with your thoughts and without distractions and feel that peace.

【1】Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?

A.Put Others Above Yourself B.Keeping Physically Healthy

C.Meeting Your Own Demands D.Taking Good Care of Yourself

【2】According to the passage, it can be concluded that .

A.only if you are at your best can you love your loved ones best

B.if on top of your health index, you're tired and stressed

C.being kind to yourself means being cruel to others

D.physical health is more important than mental health

【3】Keeping spiritually healthy means .

A.dissatisfaction with what you have B.waking up in time every day

C.showing up your best for the world D.agreeing with your true self

【4】Which of the following shows the right structure of the passage?

A. B.

C. D.

22、Paul O’Sullivan walked around his apartment in the US city of Baltimore one evening in 2014, feeling bored. Just for fun, he decided to try to find out how many other people on Facebook shared his name. Moments later, dozens of Paul O’Sullivans filled his screen and he sent friend requests to them all.

As Baltimore Paul looked through the profiles of the Paul O’Sullivans who accepted his invitation, hénoticed something four of them had in common: They were all musicians. Baltimore Paul had an idea. He asked the other three musical Pauls if they’d like to form a band called The Paul O’Sullivans. They all agreed.

Starting a band across multiple time zones proved to be nettlesome. Fortunatelv, Manchester Paul, a 59-year-old former professional musician knew how to fix that. They would create a kind of musical assembly line including online sessions.

The Band released its first original song, “Namesake,”in March 2016. But just months after the song’s release, Baltimore Paul began experiencing health issues that forced him to take time off from making music. The other Pauls also decided to take a break from the band. But they didn’t press pause on their friendship. Instead, they made sure Baltimore Paul never felt alone, even with the long distances between them. They shared family pictures and chatted online.

Finally, after a four-year break, Baltimore Paul was well enough to start making music again. The first thing the band did was create a music video for “Namesake,”which has now been watched on YouTube more than 50,000 times.

“It has been a lovely journey that has lasted seven years so far. A four-stop international tour—one concert in each of our hometowns —would be great ,” says Baltimore Paul.

“What are the odds,” he says, that a random Facebook request would lead not only to new music but to lasting friendships as well? “Some things are just meant to be.”

【1】What inspired Baltimore Paul to form a band?

A．His enthusiasm for music.

B．His dream of having an international tour.

23、   Tabloids (小报) are newspapers that usually report news about people. However, the stories often leave readers wondering, “Could this really be true?” Read the following stories from the hottest tabloids in town.

Brasilia, Brazil. After Gilberto Carvalho — a million-dollar lottery (彩票) winner — told reporters that his luck had come from a particular fish in a park pond, more than 200 other Brazilians spoke up with similar stories.

Cleveland, Ohio, U.S. Bruce Zalmer, 32, is fireproof. His skin can withstand (禁得住) flames without pain or damage. And his lungs can take in oxygen from smoky air. Medical scientists are amazed that a human could have either of these qualities, let alone both. Although Zalmer sees himself as “just a regular guy”, he once saved a family of four from a burning building after firefighters had given up hope.

Nakuru, Kenya. As tourists in a bus looked on in amazement, a spaceship caught 11 elephants from a wildlife park. The bus driver had stopped at a watering hole and the tourists were watching the elephants when a huge spaceship appeared. The ship shot down a powerful beam of orange light that sucked up (吸走) the elephants and then flew off. Park officials confirmed that 11 full-grown elephants had disappeared.

Monterrey, Mexico. Doctors say that hundreds of people who had been old and sick became young and healthy again by drinking from a water fountain in a public park.
