21、①There is a famous expression in English “Stop the world, I want to get off!” This expression is actually about a feeling of panic, which makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing, try to relax, and become calm again. “Stress” means pressure or tension. It is one of the most common causes of health problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental health problems.

②There are plenty of physical effects（影响） of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can make the heart beat faster or miss beats, and can also cause high blood pressure.

③Emotions（情绪）are also easily affected by stress. People who have too much stress often feel worried. They may feel tired all the time.

Stress can make people angry, moody （情绪化）, or nervous.

④Long-term stress can lead to different kinds of serious mental illnesses. Depression （抑郁）, a terrible feeling of sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress.

22、We often ask for information or help, especially(尤其) when we visit a foreign country. So knowing how to ask for information politely is important. In English, “Where are the restrooms?” and “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are correct English, but the first could sound rude（粗鲁）. It’s important to use correct language, but sometimes we need to learn how to be polite（礼貌）.

In English, just like in Chinese, we change the way we speak when talking with different people. If you say to your teacher, “Where is my book?” This will sound rude. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr West. Do you know where my book is?” Your question will sound much more polite. Of course it might be all right to say “Where is my book?” in some situations, perhaps with people you know well.

“Peter, lend me your pen.” can sound rude in English. Usually in English, polite questions are longer such as “Could you please…?” or “Can I ask…?” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please lend me your pen?” Sometimes we might even need to spend some time when you stop a stranger in the street. We might first say, “Excuse me. I wonder if you can help me” or “I’m sorry to trouble you but,” before asking them for help.

It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct(直接). However, in order not to offend(冒犯) people, learning about language etiquette(规矩) is just as important as learning grammar or vocabulary. And doing this will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak.

【1】What is the polite way when you ask for help?

A. Pass me the watch, Li Tao.

B. Where is the supermarket?

C. Tell me where I can find a bank.

D. Excuse me, how could I get to the book shop?

【2】Why do we need to learn polite language? Because _____.

A. they can improve our grammar and vocabulary

B. they can help us become better at English

C. everyone wants to be polite

D. the teachers tell us to do so

【3】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. When and how to use correct language is important.

B. How to start a polite talking with strange people.

C. Correct language is as important as polite one.

D. People should learn to speak politely.

24、   Huge squares, great buildings and countless treasure — this year, the world’s largest  wooden palace, the Forbidden City, is 600 years old! It lived t【1】 fires and wars. But it still stands at the heart of Beijing today. And it never f【2】 to catch its visitors’ eyes.
