26、   Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?

Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristic that instruct and inspire people. A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.

Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage（电压） transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.

The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?

Heroes are catalysts（催化剂） for change. They have a vision from the mountain top. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr, we might still have segregated（隔离的） buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain and the committee meetings endless.

【1】Although heroes may come from different cultures, they .

A.generally possess certain inspiring characteristics

B.probably share some weaknesses of ordinary people

C.are often influenced by previous generations

D.all unknowingly attract a large number of fans

【2】According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that   .

A.they have a vision from the mountaintop

B.they have warm feelings and emotions

C.they can serve as empowering examples of noble principles

D.they can make all people feel stronger and more confident

【3】Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because   .

A.they are popular only among certain groups of people

B.their performances do not improve their fans morally

C.their primary concern is their own financial interests

D.they are not clear about the principles they should follow

【4】Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who .

A.are good at demonstrating their charming characters

B.can move the masses with the skill and the charm

C.are capable of meeting all challenges and hardships

D.can provide an answer to the problems of their people

【5】The author concludes that historical changes would .

A.be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualities

B.not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrifices

C.take place if there were heroes to lead the people

D.produce leaders with attractive personalities

27、   Having spring around makes you feel different after such a long winter journey. The power  of sunshine brings us a lot of comfort, optimism, self-confidence and of course a smile. Imagine how great it will be if we are so positive all year round!

Living like this is possible if you really think about it. In order to exist in such a state of happiness, we must have sunshine radiating from within ourselves, shining from our  hearts,  minds and souls. Actually, that's your choice, and if you think that way then your own life will reflect that attitude of yours!

In order to make “sunshine” or rather “light” part of our being, it is so important that you watch your thoughts, your words and your actions so that you will accept what you really feel you'd like to create in your own life. Watch your thoughts and really become aware of how many negative thoughts pass through your mind about yourself and other people around you. Watch to see how often you gossip ( 说 闲 话 ) about other people, which is actually often attached with feelings of jealousy (妒忌) and insecurity(不安全感) about yourself.

You are also supposed to take a close look at your “intention”. How many of you do something for another person without expecting to receive something in return? It might not even have to be a material or physical thing you expect; expecting to be recognized for what you have done is enough to create conditions on your intention. Think about it!

Putting all of these together, it seems that most of us are creating monsters inside us just by simply talking, thinking and not putting our heart out with the right intention towards helping someone else. If you take all your negative attitudes in one hand and measure your need to feel “sunshine” in the other, you will see how both these elements really contradict each other.

Be brave and break your patterns and your habits this spring, and by doing so, you will allow the true sunshine to take place by radiating out from your heart and into your life and the lives of the people around you!

【1】You can have sunshine shining  from your inside  .

A. by watching what you think, say and do

B. by helping someone else

C. by measuring what you need

D. by changing your intention

【2】According to the writer, you don't feel secure about yourself when you  .

A. expect to be recognized for what you've done

B. take a close look at your intention

C. gossip about other people

D. become aware of your negative thoughts

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Breaking our patterns is the most important to get true sunshine.

B. Expecting something in return for our help isn't the right intention.

C. If we don't intend to help others, we create monsters inside us.

D. Negative attitudes have little to do with happiness.

【4】The passage is written mainly to  .

A. stress the importance of the positive lifestyle

B. analyze the intentions and thoughts in our mind

C. warn us about the bad effects of negative attitudes

D. offer advice on having sunshine from our inside

28、   Social distancing isn’t easy for anyone, but it can be especially tricky when many people live together. 【1】 Find out how to explore this new experience.

Create a schedule. If you want your relationship to survive, you need to have a schedule that allows partners to spend time together. 【2】 Setting an alarm, getting up together, doing chores, keeping the house tidy, having some physical activity and spending time alone are all important.

Plan for alone time. Be open and honest with each other about your emotional needs. 【3】 If you need attention, ask for that, too. While it can be hard to provide, time in the form of a short walk alone or a hot bath in a bathroom is absolutely necessary. Constantly being around anyone, including your partner can be stressful.

Make time for exercise. Fitness is good for your body. It also offers big benefits for your mind and overall well being. There are a lot of emotions and uncertainty right now and just doing some simple movements will get the blood flowing through your body and give you a lot of energy. 【4】

Get outdoors. You need a minimum distance of six feet from others. 【5】 We are experiencing the greatest life indoors further separating ourselves from what our bodies and brains need to survive: nature. Spending time walking outdoors increases focus and energy levels...and more.

A.If you need time alone, voice it.

B.Here’s how to be left alone if you live with your family.

C.That could cause or worsen a sense of disconnection and loneliness.

D.A schedule is vital because it will help people to still feel productive.

E.Even if you’re wildly in love with the people, you need your space and time.

F.Whether you join an online class or go for a jog on your own, you’ll enjoy the benefits.

G.Taking a walk in nature in one of the most ignored yet most powerful things we can do.
