21、   It’s not easy feeling like you’re always under the spotlight being judged for each little mistake you make.Your mind is in an endless circle playing what you said and did over and over again.You wish you had a time capsule to go back and make things fight if you find mistakes.You fear what others will think about you and that they will reject and dislike you.You seek to be socially perfect.

Academically，you work long endless hours just to make those excellent marks.Although most would say“it's good to have high standards，”they have no idea about the internal hell you put yourself through to achieve perfection.If you come up less than your desired goal you feel as though you have failed，but you’re far from failing，you just don’t see it that way.So instead you are telling yourself that you’re stupid，and not smart.The pressure you place on yourself weighs you down and you wear the“not good enough”label each and every day.

You not only have high standards for yourself but you also have them for others.If people don’t perform up to your expectations，then you think them incompetent.This causes a lot of frustration because you can’t trust anyone to get things right.So instead of being a team player you fly solo(单飞)and try to do two or three jobs at once.Your unrealistic expectations cause you to criticize and judge others and that leads to problems in other areas of your life.

The attempt to be perfect is called perfectionism and it's the unachievable American dream that’s damaging our emotional and mental health.We strive for perfection with our body，in our performance，and in our relationships.In a society that overstates mistakes，is it any wonder that so many young people attempt the impossible task of being perfect?

We all have flaws，fears，and make mistakes，and that’s perfectly OK.It’s our imperfections that make life interesting and they help us grow into a stronger more adaptable person.We don’t have to strive to achieve the impossible.We are designed to be perfectly imperfect.

【1】What might be the most suitable title of the text?

A. Far from failing   B. Perfectly Imperfect

C. Perfectionism Phenomenon   D. Unachievable American Dream

【2】Which of the following is a perfectionist most likely to agree?

C. There is no best，only better.   D. A contented mind is an everlasting feast.

【3】What can we infer from the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?

B. The society is partly to blame for perfectionism.

C. Many young people find it impossible to be perfect.

D. It’s unusual for a society to seek perfectionism nowadays.

22、   Before my daughter, Evelyn, was born, I eagerly expected her first year of life. I imagined celebrating every milestone --- bonding with her as a newborn, seeing her smile for the first time, hearing her say her first word. 1 didn't think of feeding tubes, long hospital stays or an organ transplant( 移植). For Evelyn, the first year included all and more.

Evelyn came into this world at just 34 weeks, weighing less than 3 pounds. Genetic testing revealed she had Alagille syndrome, a genetic disorder that can damage the liver(肝脏),heart and other organs. Soon, we received the news that baby Evelyn needed a liver transplant. Our family moved nearer to UPMC Children's Hospial of Pittsburgh so that we were closer if a liver was available for Evelyn.

When Evelyn was added to the organ donation wait list, I was under the liver allocation policy in place at that time,which was map-based. This policy lacks any special consideration for transplant candidates.We were told it would likely take three months. Just then, a new policy for liver allocation was tried out.Under the new system, the sickest child patients get first priority(优先).The new policy was only in effect for a litle over a week, but in that period, Evelyn received her liver transplant. Had it been just one week earler or later, we would not have received the call.

As Evelyn recovers from her transplant, we are grateful for the change.I am also sad, because the new policy was short-lived. That means another mom like me might not receive that phone call with good news.

Other children should have the same opportunity as Evelyn to live healthy, happy lives. When it comes to liver transplant policy, we can and must do better for children.

【1】What probably happened to Evelyn shorly after she was born?

D.She suffered from a heart attack.

【2】Why did the author's family move nearer to the hospital?

A.To save time.

B.To have money.

C.To see a doctor.

D.To get first priority.

【3】What does the author mean by the underlined sentence?

A.Evelyn is healthy now.

B.They waited too long.

C.They were one week earlier.

D.Her daughter is fortunate.

【4】What does the author want to express in the last pargraph?

A.We must guarantee kids have healthy livers.

B.Kids should have chances of a liver transplant.

C.The sickest kids should get liver transplants first.

D.The old policy lacks special consideration for kids.

24、When whales die and sink to the ocean floor, their bodies -known as whale falls -provide rich nutrients for other creatures of the deep.

Chinese scientists found a whale fall in the South China Sea during a recent scientific research voyage. It was the first time that Chinese researchers had run across this rare type of ecosystem. It was an important finding, showing China's progress in deep-sea exploration technology, Xie said, a professor at Sun Yat-sen University.

During the 22-day deep-sea exploration from March 10 to April 2. 60 scientists conducted 22 dives and successfully completed a number of scientific tasks. The research aimed to gather information about the key processes of typical seamount ecosystems in the Western Pacific: Ocean. The whale fall was found in a seamount 1,600 meters deep in the central South China Sea. Though the whale fall was only about 3 meters long, it was of great importance in understanding the sea ecosystems, Xie said.

There were dozens of white armored shrimp, red shrimp and several eels found near the whale fall. The eels were eating the tail muscles of the whale fall. This shows that the whale died not long ago and that the whale fall was still in the first stage of decomposition and thus had rare value for long-term observation, Xie said.

Like cold springs, whale falls are homes for creatures of the deep. In the northern Pacific Ocean, they have supported the survival of at least 12,490 kinds of organisms—classed in 43 species—and promote prosperity far beneath the surface, according to data from the university.
