21、The popularity of Facebook has caused a shift in how people realize themselves: the “like” button has become nothing more than a self-esteem (自尊) booster. 【1】 It can take years and years, but there are shortcuts you can use to achieve it.

【2】. You’re not arrogant (自大的) if you love yourself. In fact, arrogance is often the foundation of low self-esteem and insecurity. Try this exercise: stand in front of the mirror and tell your reflection everything you love about yourself. Accept what you don’t like about yourself. This may feel uncomfortable at first, but change often does.

Do you socialize with negative people? 【3】. This may seem unfair, but those negative people will simply strengthen what you don’t like about yourself. People like to socialize with happy, positive people. The happiest people in life are the ones that look at what they have, not what they don’t have.

There are a lot of people who aren’t aware they have a negative voice in their head.

【4】. Whenever you hear a negative comment, immediately replace it with a positive one. Your brain is like a computer: whatever command you input, it responds, so if you ask it a question like “why do I always mess up?” your brain will find plenty of examples to support it.

Celebrating your successes is another good way. We’re often so busy in life that we seldom take the time to stop and really reflect on what we’ve achieved. Take the time once a day to ask yourself what you’re proud of having achieved that day. 【5】 Remember that it’s not the outcome that’s always important, but the process.

A．Learn to love yourself.

B．Catch your negative self-talk.

C．Appreciate how far you’ve come.

D．If so, consider finding new friends.

E．When self-esteem is high, we lose our fear of envy.

F．Of course not, few people like socializing with negative people.

G．But what’s important is to develop high self-esteem from inner.

23、Take a walk through Washington and you’ll find plenty of marble memorials(纪念碑). But is that what the future of the memorial-rich city holds? If the winners of a new design competition have their way, probably not.

The Memorials for the Future design competition invited submissions (意见书) from teams throughout the world. Though, the memorials selected won’t actually be built in the city, they were intended to start a discussion about how to think of memorials in a very different future.

Climate Chronograph, the winning project by Team Azimuth Land Craft, greatly departs from memorials as we know them. The project memorializes the harmful effects of climate change by suggesting a memorial at Hains Point, a spot between the Potomac River and Washington Channel. Just 100 years ago, the man-made island was part of the river. It came into existence after the National Park Service decided to turn the confluence(合流点) of the waters into a tidal basin to protect the nearby National Mall from floods.

Those floods are expected to come more and more often as the climate changes. Climate Chronograph will memorialize those changes by planting cherry trees as a kind of tidal gauge(潮位计) that can be used by future visitors to determine just how much water levels have risen.

The other winning projects include a project that frees mechanical parrots that fly over the Jefferson Memorial and collect and retell stories about monuments，a podcast (播客) platform that puts immigrant stories on public transportation, and an interactive memorial that brings national parks to the D. C. Metro. The competition also produced a report that points to ways America can better memorialize the things that matter—strategies that could help cities save money and space.

That’s good news, especially given that D.C.’s iconic Mall has been closed to new construction. The memorials of the future won’t just turn collective memories toward the stories of new phenomena and groups like climate change and immigrants. Rather, it seems that they’ll make use of space in new creative ways—no marble needed.

【1】What is the purpose of the design competition?

A．To select the best design team.

B．To find new uses for old memorials.

C．To design new memorials for Washington.

D．To explore new ways of experiencing memorials.

【2】What can be used to replace the underlined word “departs” in Paragraph 3?

A．Differs

B．Benefits

C．Suffers

D．Learns

【3】What do we know about Climate Chronograph?

A．It will be located in a park.

B．It will be built after the competition.

C．It clearly shows the effects of climate change.

D．It uses high-tech equipment to measure climate change.

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

A．A memorial to a sad future.

B．Marble memorials are out of date.

C．Climate Chronograph, memorial for our future.

D．What will the memorials of the future look like?

24、How to React to Upsetting Posts Online

It’s pretty common for upsetting and disturbing posts and videos to spread online. 【1】 There are plenty of ways you can respond and engage with this kind of content- in any case, taking care of your mental health is especially important.

Suspend before you share or reply. Misinformation can be really emotionally triggering (触发). 【2】 Even if you have a strong reaction to something you see online, slow down and take some time to analyze the content before you share it or respond.

Fact-check the information. Misinformation is often designed to look appealing and accurate, so it can be tempting to trust the content you see in a high-quality graphic or post. That makes it especially important to fact-check the information. 【3】

Craft an informed reply if you think you can make a positive change. Some posts, however upsetting, come from a place of genuine ignorance. 【4】 Don’t feel like you have to fight every battle-if you feel like there are more effective ways to make a difference than potentially inviting an online fight, it’s okay to conduct those instead.

【5】 It can be hard to set your own opinions and emotions aside when you see a really upsetting post online. If you feel up to it, try being the bigger person and really listening to what the poster has to say even if their content is worded in a harmful way. Write out a response that addresses those negative feelings instead of the post itself.

A．It’s necessary to make a positive reply.

B．Avoid sharing any posts with misinformation.

C．You may be wondering how you can handle them.

D．Write a sympathetic reply so the poster feels heard.

E．You might see posts that make you feel mad, sad, or frightened.

F．Look into the source, the website, the author and the publication date.

G．If that’s the case, write a response that clarifies the claims being presented.
