22、Last week, my younger brother visited me for five days, To ensure I could spend as much time with him as possible, I worked extra hard during the weekend before he arrived.

It amazed me how much I could accomplish when I had a strong motivation to be efficient During the week, I put in a couple of hours in the mornings to handle pressing issues and then spent the afternoons and evenings going out with him. Once again, I was surprised to realize just how much free time was available to me if I consciously chose to be more effective while working. This made me think of Parkinson's Law: Work expands to fill the time available for its completion.

I realized then that I'd given myself more time than necessary for work, and as a result, I ended up spending lot of toe procrastinating （拖延）and entertaining myself online.

How might things change for me, I wondered, it   I chose to commit to more social and recreational （休闲娱乐）activities, made them priorities(优先事项）and was motivated to finish work quicker?

I realize not everyone has flexibility in their work schedules, but 1 believe we could all create more time for ourselves if we were motivated to cut out the choices that don't match our strongest desires and intentions. Maybe It's zoning out in front of the TV or searching the web. If there's one thing that's consumed my time the most, it's researching how I actually want to spend it.

I believe what English musician John Lennon said is true: Time that you enjoyed wasting was not wasted. I don't think there's anything wrong with using technology if We've consciously chosen to do it.

However, we owe it to ourselves to get out in the world and explore different possibilities -to be playful curious, engaged and just to be.

Perhaps it would be easier to do that if we asked ourselves: How can I be more effective? Can I minimize what I am currently doing? How can I start using the time I've created in a way that will excite and inspire me?

【3】What does the author advise us to do to make more time for ourselves?

A．Commit to more personal activities.

B．Get your priorities right with your work.

C．Create a tight work schedule for ourselves.

D．Ddn’t waste time on technology for any reason.

【4】What is the author's main purpose in writing this article?

A．To explain what Parkinson's Law is.

B．To reflect on better time management.

C．To introduce how to balance work and life.

23、   School Spirit Week can be held any time throughout the year in America. It is a special time when youthful exuberance (活力) is allowed full expression.

【1】There are spirit band sessions, spirit assemblies and spirit teams that have one primary goal. That goal is to promote school tradition and encourage students to recognize their school as an important part of their life.【2】Some schools will use it as a kick-off for a charity (慈善) event such as collecting food for the local food bank.

A Spirit Week program can include many types of supporting activities. At most events, students like to wear identifying clothing or articles that show they are a unified group and support their school. Spirit week agendas often encourage students to wear fun and modern clothes.【3】Monday might be funny hat day, followed by Tuesday's Hawaiian shirt day and Wednesday's silly T-shirt day. Thursday could be pajama day, rounded off with Friday's school colors day.【4】Students decorate the walls, halls and classrooms with banners, posters and other adornments. Spirit Week posters and banners can reflect the theme of the week, the pride in the school, or show any other creative support of the school.

24、Scientists at Purdue University created the world’s whitest paint — a discovery that not only adds yet another choice to the“which white should we paint this wall” dilemma, but also might help the climate crisis.

The paint was developed by Purdue mechanical engineering professor Xiulin Ruan and his team. It works through a passive cooling technology that offers great promises to reduce space cooling cost and global warming. “When we started this project seven years ago, we had saving energy and fighting climate change in mind,”Ruan said in a podeast (播客) episode of This Is Purdue. They wanted to create a paint that would reflect sunlight away from a building, dramatically decreasing the need for air conditioning.

Heating, cooling, and lighting account for 28 percent of the world’s total greenhouse gas emissions. And overusing air conditioning can overwhelm a city’s power grid and cause blackouts (停电). In a Queens blackout in 2006,175,000 people were left without power, which lead to 40 deaths. This paint could effectively be an alternative to air conditioners in some places.

The paint reflects 98.1%of solar radiation while also giving out infrared (红外线的) heat. Because the paint takes in less heat from the sun than it gives out, a surface coated with this paint is cooled below the surrounding temperature without using power. Covering a roof area of 1,000 square feet with the paint could create 10 kilowatts ofcooling power, the researchers found.“That’s more powerful than the air conditioners used by most houses,”Ruan told This Is Purdue.

You can’t buy the paint just yet, but researchers are partnering with a company to put the paint on the market. While individual action to fight elimate change can help save our planet, it’s important to note that the vast majority of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions can be traced back to 100companies. Maybe we can douse(浇) those companies with this white paint, too — it could be worth a shot.

【1】What is known about the paint?

A．It has different colors.

B．It doesn’t cost much.

C．It uses heating technology.

D．It is climate-friendly.

【2】What is the Queens blackout mentioned to show?

A．The poor management of power.

B．The significance of the paint.

C．The importance of air conditioning.

D．The result of global warming.

【3】Which aspect of the paint is talked about in Paragraph 4?

A．Its application.

B．Its function.

C．Its composition.

D．Its disadvantage.

【4】What can be learned from the last paragraph?

A．The quality of the paint needs improving.

B．The paint will bring profits to the 100 companies.

C．Researchers want to see the paint in commercial use.

D．Individual efforts matter in creating the whitest paint.

25、   Once I went with my brother to watch how the villagers caught fish in the local pond. Usually the locals catch fish in the _______ morning. It was exciting so we _______ at 4 o’clock. Not only did it sound like a(n) _______ to me, but it also turned out to teach me a _______lesson.

The fishermen had a big fishing net, one side of which was _______ along with the boundary of the pond and the other end was taken to the _______ boundary of the pond underwater. After a certain time they slowly started _______ the free end towards the fixed end. Most fish got _______ inside the net and the fish had already started feeling _______ wrong. Because of the lack of ________, they started panicking. Some started ________ to get out of the net. Though they knew getting out of the water was a big risk, they still ________ their best to jump with all their strength; ________ few fish got out of the net. I asked a fisherman about the fish that “escaped”. They told me it usually ________ that next time they would again get ________ after another 6 months. Hearing this, I realized one of the greatest life lessons. The fish that took the risk actually ________ their life time by 6 months! I ________ what would happen if they lived in big lakes. Maybe, they could live longer.

In life there are certain situations where we might feel we are ________ our living space. We take the biggest risk of our lives and jump out of the space, ________ we fall into another small one where we may end up failing. So we need to be wise enough to choose to live in much ________ spaces where we have more conditions to help survive or succeed.
