21、At a restaurant, a cockroach(蟑螂) suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady. She started screaming out of fear. With a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to throw away the cockroach. Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky.

The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but ...it landed on another lady in the group. Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama. The waiter rushed forward to their rescue. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter. The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on his shirt. When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant.

Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, I picked up a few thoughts and started wondering, was the cockroach responsible for their dramatic behavior? If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed? He handled it near to perfection, without any chaos. It is not the cockroach, but the inability of those people to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach, that disturbed the ladies.

I realized that, it is not the shouting of my father or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but it's my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbs me. It's not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam that disturbs me. More than the problem, it's my reaction to the problem that creates chaos in my life.

【1】What does word “the drama” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Escape from the restaurant .

B．Sip her coffee.

C．Get rid of the cockroach.

D．Rush to the waiter.

C．Always be ready to help others.

D．Your reaction to the problem determines how you feel.

24、   James Dyson, the inventor of the bagless vacuum cleaner, is now the wealthiest person in Briton after his company posted a record profit for 2018. But how did he make his fortune?

My father died when I was nine, and I remember doing the household chores to help my mother. I hated changing the vacuum cleaner bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up.

Thirty years later, in 1979, I was doing chores at home alongside my wife. One day the vacuum cleaner was screaming away, and I had to empty the bag because I could not find a replacement for it. With this lifelong hatred of the way the machine worked, I decided to make a bagless vacuum cleaner.

Easier said than done, of course. I didn’t realize that I would spent the next 15 years perfecting my design, a process that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes (设计原型). By the time I made my 15th prototype, my third child was born. By 2,627, my wife and I were really counting our pennies. By 3,727, my wife was giving art lessons for some extra cash, and we were getting further and further into debt. These were tough times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.

I just had a passion for the vacuum cleaner as a product, but I never thought of going into a business with it. In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements (许可协议) for my technology. The reality was very different, however. The major vacuum makers had built a business model based on the profits from bags and filters (过滤器). No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business.

That gave me the courage to keep going, but soon after, the companies that I had talked with started making machines like mine. I had to fight legal battles on both sides of the Atlantic to protect the patents (专利) on my vacuum cleaner. However, I was still in financial difficulties until 1993, when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me $1 million. Then I was able to go into production. Within two years, the Dyson vacuum cleaner became a best-seller in Britain.

Today, I still view risk and the potential for failure as part of the process. Nothing beats the excitement of invention. Go out and brainstorm your ideas. You are not limited by any rules — in fact, the stranger and riskier your idea, the better.

【1】Which of the following provided inspiration for Dyson’s invention?

A.The death of his father B.The scream of his wife

C.The hatred of homework chores D.The trouble the cleaner bag brings

【2】Why was Dyson’s vacuum cleaner not accepted at first?

A.Because the vacuum makers profited from bags and filters.

B.Because Dyson’s vacuum cleaner still needed to be improved.

C.Because the major vacuum makers had updated their products.

D.Because Dyson’s vacuum cleaner didn’t get licensing agreements.

【3】Dyson’s machine got into production _____________.

A.before the legal battles B.after becoming famous

C.upon applying for the patent D.in spite of financial difficulties

【4】The author’s real purpose of writing the passage is to _______.

A.emphasize the necessity of brainstorming our ideas

B.explain the development of the vacuum cleaner

C.introduce Dyson and his vacuum cleaner

D.urge people to accept risks and failure

25、   When I was 13, my only purpose was to become toe star on our football team. That meant beating out Miller King, who was the best _________ at our school.

Football season started in September and all summer long I worked out. I carried my football everywhere for _________.

That season, I _________ all of Miller’s records while he _________ the home games from the bench. We went 10-1 and I was named the most valuable player, _________. I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame for Miller’s _________.

One afternoon, I was crossing the field to go home and saw Miller _________ going over a fence-which wasn't _________ to climb if you had both arms. I'm sure I was the last person in the world he wanted to accept __________ from. But even that challenge he accepted. I helped him move slowly over the fence. When we were finally __________ on the other side, he said to me, “You know, I didn't tell you this during the season, but you did __________ . Thank you for filling in for me.”

His words freed me from my bad __________. I thought to myself, how even without an arm he was more of a leader. Damaged but not defeated, he was __________ ahead of me. I was right to have __________ him. From that day on, I grew and a little more real.
