21、 In 1959, when Jean Harper was in the third grade, her teacher gave the class an assignment to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up. She poured her heart into her report and expressed her dream of becoming an airline pilot. Her paper came back with an "F" on it. The teacher told her it was a "fairy tale". Jean was heartbroken and ashamed. As the years went by, Jean was beaten down by the discouragement and negativity she encountered whenever she talked about her dream. "Girls can't become airline pilots; never have, never will. You're crazy. That's impossible. "Finally Jean gave up.

In her senior year of high school, her English teacher was a Mrs. Dorothy Slaton, a demanding teacher with high standards. One day Mrs. Slaton asked this question: "If you had unlimited finances, unlimited access to the finest schools, unlimited talents and abilities, what would you do?" Jean felt a rush of the old enthusiasm, and with excitement she wrote down the very old dream.

The next thing that Mrs. Slaton said changed the course of Jean's life. The teacher leaned forward over her desk and said, "I have a little secret for you. You do have unlimited abilities and talents. When you leave school, if you don't go for your dreams, no one will do it for you. You can have what you want if you want it enough."

The hurt and fear of years of discouragement disappeared all of a sudden. Jean felt thrilled and told her about her dream of becoming a pilot. Mrs. Slaton slapped the desk top. "Then do it!" she said.

So Jean did. It didn't happen overnight. In her l0 years of hard work, even facing varieties of laugh, frustration and opposition, she never gave up her dream. Instead, she went on doing everything her third-grade teacher said was fairy-tale.

Eventually, Jean Harper became a Boeing 737 captain for the United Airline Company.

22、How to Stop Self-blaming and Start Forgiving Yourself?

Everybody makes mistakes, and it’s true whether you believe it or not. 【1】 You can learn to stop self-blaming and start forgiving yourself. Here are some tips.

1. 【2】

When you take responsibility for your actions, you accept that you made a mistake. Don’t try to shift the blame onto others. It takes a strong-willed person to admit they made a mistake, and it needs to be done in order to clear your consciousness. If you don’t accept responsibility, you run the risk of having others blame you throughout your life. 【3】

2. Don’t be critical.

If you’re critical of yourself, chances are that you are critical of others too, perhaps without even realizing it. Judging others is a waste of your own time, which could have been spent bettering yourself in some way. 【4】 Try to see things from their point of view. Furthermore, those who judge others may think that others are judging them. Let go of the idea that everyone else is out to get you, and you’ll be free to live your life to the fullest.

3. Learn to forgive freely.

The first step toward forgiving yourself for making a mistake is to be more forgiving of others. Once you fully understand that everyone makes mistakes, you’ll be more likely to forgive yourself. 【5】 You just need to be the best you that you can be. This all starts with forgiving yourself and moving on with your life.

A.Learn and move on.

B.Take responsibility, don’t place blame.

C.You don’t have to be perfect because nobody is.

D.Instead of judging others, look for the good in everyone you meet.

E.When you make mistakes, it’s no use blaming yourself all the time.

F.Be realistic about your shortcomings, but also about your strengths as well.

G.By accepting responsibility, you make it clear that you were wrong and now want to work toward bettering yourself.

23、If there's one thing I' ve learned from my years of being a kid,  it' s that you have ZERO control over your own life.

Ever since school ended, I haven' t had anything I' ve needed to do or anywhere I' ve needed to be.  As long as the air-conditioning(空调) was working and the TV remote had batteries in it, I was ready for a relaxing summer holiday.

But then, out of the blue, this happened - " Pack your bags.  We' re going on a road trip ! " Mom said excitedly.

This isn't the first time Mom has sprung a trip on us without any warming. Last year on the first day of summer, she said we were going .to visit Aunt Loretta at the nursing home.

It wasn't exactly my idea of a fun way to kick off the summer. One time when we visited Aunt Loretta, her roommate grasped me and wouldn't let me go until someone gave her a chocolate cookie !

Mom kept talking about going to the nursing home for a whole day, which made me worry a lot.  But at breakfast the next morning, she told us where we were really going - Disney World.

I was very happy, because I was really worried about spending the whole week at the nursing home. So was Dad.

But when my little brother, Danny, heard about the change he became very angry. Mom had talked up the Aunt Loretta trip so much that Danny was actually excited about going there.

We ended up putting off our trip to Disney so we could visit Aunt Loretta.

I tried to talk Mom into letting us do something normal, like going to a water park for the day, but she didn't want to hear it.  She said that spending a lot of time together in the car would be a " bonding"  experience for the whole family.

24、Most of us learn how to ride a bike during childhood. But as we grow older, many of us stop riding and put those once-beloved bikes in storage. Years later, when we discover these relics and hop on, it’s as if we never stopped biking.

This is surprising because our memories let us down in so many other instances. So how is it that we can ride a bicycle when we haven’t done so in years?

As it turns out, different types of memories are stored in distinct regions of our brains. Long-term memory is divided into two types: declarative and procedural.

There are two types of declarative memory. Memories of experiences such as the day we started school are called episodic memory(情景记忆). This type of recall is our interpretation of an episode or event that occurred. Factual knowledge, on the other hand, such as the capital of France, is part of semantic memory(语义记忆). These two types of declarative memory content have one thing in common—you are aware of the knowledge and can communicate the memories to others.

Skills such as playing an instrument or riding a bicycle are, however, based on a separate system, called procedural memory, which is responsible for performance.

One of the most famous studies showing the separate memory systems was that of an epileptic(癫痫病患者) named Henry Molaison (H. M.). In the 1950s he underwent the removal of portions of his brain. After the operation doctors found that many of H. M.’s memories of the time before the operation were also erased.

In one test, researchers asked H. M. to trace a five-pointed star on a sheet of paper while only looking at it and his hand in a mirror—meaning the image was reversed. Although H. M.’s hand-eye coordination(协调) skills improved over the several days he performed this task, he never remembered performing it. This meant that he could develop new procedural, but not declarative, memories.

So simple sequences of movements we internalize, even far in the past, are typically preserved for a lifetime. It’s “just like riding a bicycle.”

【1】Why riding a bicycle is mentioned in the first paragraph?

A．To introduce the topic.

B．To provide an example.

C．To support an argument.

D．To make comparisons.

【2】What do memories of experiences belong to?

A．Short-term memory.

B．Declarative memory.

C．Semantic memory.

D．Procedural memory.

【3】What can we learn from Henry Molaison’s case?

A．Brain injury tends to erase people’s all past memories.

B．H. M. couldn’t develop new memories after the operation.

C．Declarative knowledge is stable and will last long.

D．Procedural memory contents aren’t easily forgotten.

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A．Why don’t we forget how to ride a bike?

B．Learn to ride a bike for once and for all

C．Is there a memory that never lets us down?

D．Where are memories stored in our brains?

25、Ever since I could remember, one phrase --- open up your heart --- has always made me feel uncomfortable. Whenever I heard it, _______from movies, music or adults, I thought doing so meant _______good judgment of my own, rather than following a practical approach to life.

From past ______, opening up my heart meant giving others the opportunity to influence how I felt about myself, and this was the dangerous area ______ I could not afford for anyone to enter.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

In many organizations, perhaps the best way to approach certain new projects is to assemble a group of people into a team. Having a team of people attack a project offers several advantages.

First of all, a group of people has a wider range of knowledge, expertise and skills than any single individual is likely to possess. Also, because of the numbers of people involved and the greater resources they possess, a group can work more quickly in response to the task assigned to it and can come up with highly creative solutions to problems and issues. Sometimes these creative solutions come about because a group is more likely to make risky decisions that an individual might not undertake. This is because the group spreads responsibility for a decision to all the members and thus no single individual can be held accountable if the decision turns out to be wrong.

Taking part in a group process can be very rewarding for members of the team. Team members who have a voice in making a decision will no doubt feel better about carrying out the work that is entailed (引起) by the decision than they might doing work that is imposed on them by others. Also, the individual team member has a much better chance to “shine”, to get his or her contributions and ideas not only recognized but recognized as highly significant, because a team's overall results can be more far-reaching and have greater impact than what might have otherwise been possible for the person to accomplish or contribute working alone.
