21、Dear Charlotte,

For the first time in my life, I’m making a really good income, and so is my husband. We could be saving a lot more, but instead we spend it on fun vacations and nice clothing. I went from a ten-year-old Japanese car to a Tesla, and a thrift-store (二手店) handbag to a super-nice one from France. I feel like I’ve become a new person I don’t recognize. How can I go back to being someone who’s fine with thrift-store items, instead of this one with a perfect house filled with nice things that don’t matter?

I understand why you miss your old life. It feels good to live simply and to work toward larger financial goals. The problem, it seems, is that you never really envisioned (设想) the life you’d lead once you actually had money to spare.

I doubt you may also be feeling a little bit lonely. Studies have found that transitioning to a higher socioeconomic class can be isolating (让人感到孤立的) because it moves people away from familiar social circles and into unfamiliar ones. It’s also tough to talk about—having big money isn’t exactly a “problem”, nor a situation that most people can relate to.

I suggest an exercise: Write down everything you spend your money on, every day, for a couple of weeks. Then look at your list and focus on the things that felt worthwhile and satisfying. In doing this exercise, you’ll probably find that spending money on experiences, especially ones that strengthen your relationships, makes you happier than buying items.

It sounds like you have some guilt. That’s normal. I don’t mean that you should feel bad about having money. Instead, it’s good to be aware that you’ve been lucky—plenty of people never get to see the fruits of their work in the same way that you have. Amanda Clayman, a financial adviser, recommends gratitude exercises. “When you focus more on what you have, it helps you stay focused on what’s important to you, instead of what you’re missing.” she says.

While your new life may seem unrecognizable, that doesn’t mean you’ve lost the goal and drive that got you there—you just need to learn to redirect them.

【1】Why does the woman write to Charlotte?

D．She has a poor relationship with her husband.

【2】In Charlotte’s opinion, what makes the woman lonely?

A．Her small social circles.

B．Her new financial position.

C．Most people’s misunderstanding of her.

D．Her family’s move to an unfamiliar place.

A．To let her see what is meaningful to her.

C．To remind her to value her hard-earned money.

【4】What does Charlotte expect the woman to do?

A．Reflect on her behavior.

B．Appreciate what she has.

C．Work towards a more specific goal.

D．Find out where her guilt came from.

22、Nowadays, with the popularity of modern traffic and modern communication means, our world is becoming much smaller. Thus our life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but meanwhile it has brought new problems, the biggest one of which is pollution. For a long time ever since, man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution.

To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.

Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.

Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.

The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.

【1】What is the reason for the world to become much smaller?

A．The rise in pollution.

B．Science and technology development.

C．The earth is being polluted day and night.

D．The earth is blown away by the wind every year.

【2】What kind of pollution is it when we “even hear it”?

A．Air pollution.

B．Rubbish pollution.

C．Noise pollution.

D．Water pollution.

【3】Why is air pollution the most serious pollution?

A．It makes much noise.

B．It makes us angry more easily.

C．It makes our rivers and lakes dirty.

D．It’s bad for all living things in the world.

【4】What is the writer’s attitude toward stopping pollution?

A．Supportive.

B．Critical.

C．Doubtful.

D．Indifferent.

23、Setting boundaries (界限) with people, especially those you care about, can be difficult. You may feel guilty about doing so, but there’s no need to. You won’t be able to care for others if you can’t care for yourself. 【1】

Offer alternatives (选择) to what they want.

You may have a friend who wants to come over and stay all day. Being a good friend doesn’t mean doing everything they want you to do. You have every right to decide what you feel comfortable with. 【2】 However, you can offer alternatives. You can say, “It’s OK to come over, but only one hour is available.”

Tell your friend you’ll help, but you expect help, too.

You may find that you are always asked for help but never receive any in return. 【3】 For example, if your friend always asks for a lift, you could say, “I don’t mind taking you places, but I’ll need some gas money if this is going to continue.”

【4】

Let them know you’ll be there for them with conditions. Some “friends” want to use up all you’ve got, but never offer anything in return. 【5】 These are “friends” you don’t need, and you’ll need to let them know now. Offer a warning about boundary violations to let your friend know when they occur. You might say, “Hey, you failed to keep an appointment as arranged and that wasn’t cool.”

A．Give a warning.

B．Do some helpful acts.

C．You don’t have to cut them off completely.

D．They may borrow things from you but refuse to return the favor.

E．Setting up boundaries gives you a chance to practice this self-care.

F．They may constantly borrow things from you but refuse to return the favor.

G．Let your friends know that you expect the same amount of help that you give.

24、“What kind of rubbish are you?” This question might normally cause anger, but in Shanghai it has become a special “greeting” among people over the past week. On July 1, the city introduced strict trash-sorting regulations that are required to follow and expected to be used as a model for our country. Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and throw it into specific public dustbins. They must do so at regulated times, when monitors are present to ensure correct trash-throwing and to ask the nature of one’s rubbish. Individuals who fail to follow the regulations face the possibility of fines and worse. They could be punished with fines (罚款) of up to 200 yuan (＄29). For those who repeat to go against them, the government can add black marks to their credit records, making it harder for them to get bank loans or even buy train tickets.

Shanghai government is responding to an obvious environmental problem. It generates 9 million tons of garbage a year, more than London’s annual output, which is rising quickly. But like other cities in China, it lacks a recycling system. Instead, it has relied on trash pickers to sift (筛选) through the waste, picking out whatever can be reused. This has limits. As people get wealthier, fewer of them want to do such dirty work. The waste, meanwhile, just keeps piling up.

Many residents appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are annoyed by the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or harmful, the distinctions among which can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained about the rules concerning food waste. They must put it straight in the required public bins, forcing them to tear open plastic bags and throw it by hand. What they complain most is the short periods for dropping trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the bins, this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out. No one wants to look bad.

【1】What do we know about the trash-sorting regulations in Shanghai?

A．Shanghai is the first city to make the trash-sorting regulations.

B．Residents can throw the garbage at any time.

C．The trash-sorting regulations have the highest fines.

D．Monitors ensure the process of the trash-sorting regulations.

【2】What is the main direct environmental problem in Shanghai?

A．The massive traffic.

B．The increasing garbage.

C．Lack of a recycling system.

D．Lack of trash picker.

【3】What makes the residents upset most about the regulations?

A．Limited time for throwing the trash.

B．Confusing differences among the categories of trash.

C．Being fined due to improper behavior.

D．Being watched by monitors when throwing the garbage.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．A Good Way of Trash-sorting

B．A New Period of Garbage Sorting

C．A Great Time in Dealing with Litter

D．An Effective Solution to Rubbish Problem
