21、A trip to Venice – the poster child for tourism – will now leave your wallet even emptier. Earlier this year, the city announced that anyone who enters Venice and doesn’t stay overnight is set to pay a fee ranging from 3 to 10 euros (about 21 to 70 yuan), depending on factors such as advance booking and whether it’s peak season or if the city is very crowded. This rule will come into effect in January 2023.

According to The Associated Press, as mass tourism gained popularity in Venice in the mid-1960s, the number of visitors increased year by year. In 2019, the last year before the COVID-19 pandemic, there were some 19 million day-trippers who visited the city.

As more visitors come to enjoy the charm of the distinctive Italian city, lots of Venetian residents have been forced to leave their homes. According to CNN, due to congestion and the soaring costs of delivering food and other goods in careless Venice, around 70 percent of Venetian residents have left the city in the past 70 years.

The government hopes the new rule could help to regulate tourism in the city and “find a balance between Venetian residents and long-term and short-term visitors”, as noted by AP. The money they collect will be used to clean up waste and maintain the heritage of the city.

Local Marco Malafante, who manages luxury vacation rentals in the city, also expressed his approval for the move. “As a Venetian I often found myself stuck in crowded lanes. Venice is engulfed by tourists and we have to reduce the day-trippers in favor of a more qualified, let’s call it ‘luxury’ tourism,” Malafante told CNN. But a Venetian gondolier, simply called Cuba, was worried and thought the government moves would “commercialize” the city and disrupt the lives of ordinary people. “Entering Venice will be like entering a museum. I don’t think the measure will help the problem of transforming Venice into a Disneyland, with fake glass shops and piazza sellers replacing the old artisan shops,” Cuba told CNN.

【1】Which one of the followings is not a factor that influences the future entrance fee of Venice?

A．Bookings ahead of arrivals.

B．The number of tourists.

C．Whether Venice is crowded or not.

D．The water conditions of Venice.

【2】What can we learn about Venice from the third and fourth paragraphs?

A．Tourism has greatly benefited the city as well as its local citizens.

B．A total of 19 million tourists visited Venice from 1960s to 2019.

C．The high delivery fees of goods in Venice make life there expensive.

D．About 30% of Venetian residents are thinking about leaving the city.

【3】What’s the Venetian gondolier Cuba’s attitude toward the new policy?

A．Supportive.

B．Neutral.

C．Uncaring.

D．Doubtful.

【4】What is the best title for this passage?

A．Venice—the Italian water city that you must visit.

B．Visitors will pay for day-trips in Venice starting in 2023.

C．Will Venice lose its charm from 2023?

D．A new policy that might ruin the water city—Venice.

24、We need to fail—failure is how we learn. If we never fail at anything, we probably haven't learned all that life has to teach us. 【1】

Don't criticize yourself for trying and never stop trying.

Trying or learning something new is often half the battle. Babies don't give up until they learn to walk. If you really want to change some behavior or learn to do something new, don't give up trying. 【2】, although you may get depressed by the lack of progress sometimes.

Understand the power of optimism.

While optimism is the ‘new happiness’, there is a certain power in optimistic thinking whether you believe it or not. Putting yourself in a more optimistic mindset(心态) can open you up to more possibilities.

Learn to rely on yourself first, then others.

Those who are self-reliant are also usually more resilient—meaning they can bounce back from problems, stress and heartbreak more quickly than those who aren't. 【3】—just become your own best friend, do everything that you can possibly do for yourself, and learn what your strengths and weaknesses are.

Don't look back.

【4】. But in fact, there's nothing back there to see. Spend just 10 percent more of your time looking forward to what life holds for you in the future, and I suspect you'll find yourself in a better position.
