21、   Riding a bicycle at night is much more dangerous than during the day. At night, motorists can only see what's illuminated (照亮) by their headlights. Bob Mionske, author of Bicycling & the Law says cycling accidents happening at night account for more than 70% of all cycling accidents in the past ten years.【1】 If you still plan to ride a bicycle at night, proper preparation can help keep you safe.

In many states, bicycles ridden at night are required to have a red light on the back and a white headlight. 【2】 The bicycle's headlight should be strong enough to illuminate the road for several feet. For example, when you're cycling at 15 mph, the headlight should allow you to see at least 35 to 50 feet in front of you.

【3】 Cycling clothing with built-in reflective material can be found on gloves, shirts and shorts. Many vest and jacket designs have large areas of reflective material along the arms, chest, back and shoulders.【4】 If you're short of money, you can buy reflective tape, cut it into strips and attach it to your clothes.

23、One of the greatest sources of unhappiness，in my experience，is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are．

When we see something we don’t like，we wish it could be different．We cry out for something better．That may be human nature，or perhaps it’s something ingrained(根深蒂固的) in our culture．The root of the unhappiness isn’t necessarily that we want things to be different．However, it’s that we decided we didn’t like it in the first place．We’ve judged it as bad，rather than saying, “It's not bad or good，and it just is it．”

In one of my books，I said“You should expect people to mess up and expect things to go differently than you planned”．Some readers said it's too sorrowful to expect things to go wrong．However, it’s only negative if you see it as negative and judge it as bad．Instead，you could accept it as the way the world works and try to understand why that is．

This can be applied to whatever you do：how other people act at work，how politics works and how depressing the news media can be．Accept these things as they are，and try to understand why they’re that way．It will save you a lot of sadness，because you’ll no longer say,“Oh．I wish bad things didn’t happen!’’

Does it mean you can never change things? Not at a11．But change things not because you can’t accept things as they are，but because you enjoy the process of changing，learning and growing．

Can we make this world a better place? You can say that you’11 continue to try to do things to help others，to grow as a person，to make a difference in this world．That’s the correct path you choose to take，because you enjoy that path．Therefore，when you find yourself judging and wishing for difference，try a different approach：accept，and understand．It might lead to some interesting results．

【1】The author believes that we feel unhappy maybe because ___________.

A.it is our natural emotion in the life

A.to help others and make a difference

B.to enjoy what you have to do in the work

D.Judging good or bad is important for our world．

24、   Many people have become accustomed to saying “bless you” or “gesundheit” when someone sneezes. No one says anything when someone coughs, blows their noses or burps (打嗝), so why do sneezes get special treatment? What do those phrases actually mean, anyway?

Wishing someone well after he sneezes probably originated thousands of years ago. The Romans would say “Jupiter preserve you!” or “Salve!” which meant “good health to you” and the Greeks would wish each other “long life”. The phrase “God bless you” is due to Pope Gregory the great, who spoke it out in the sixth century during a bubonic plague epidemic (黑死病) (sneezing is an obvious symptom of one form of the plague).

The alternative term “gesundheit” comes from Germany, and it literally means “health”. The idea is that a sneeze typically comes ahead of illness. It entered the English language in the early 20th century, brought to the United States by German-speaking immigrants.

Actually every country around the globe has its own way of wishing sneezers well. People in Arabic countries say “Alhamdulillah!” which means “praise be to God”. Hindus say “Livel” or “Live well!”. Some countries have special sneezing responses for children. In Russia, after children are given the traditional response, “bud zdorov (be healthy)”, they are also told “rosti Bolshoi (grow big)”. When a child sneezes in China, he or she will hear “bai sui” which means “may you live 100 years.”

For the most part, the various sneeze responses originated from ancient superstitions (迷信). Some people believed that a sneeze caused the soul to escape the body through the nose, Saying “bless you” would stop the devil from claiming the person’s freed soul. However, some people believed that those evil spirits used the sneeze as an opportunity to enter a person’s body. There was also the misconception that the heart temporarily stopped during a sneeze (it doesn’t), and that saying “bless you” was a way of welcoming the person back to life.

【1】What’s the purpose of paragraph 1?

A.To lead in the topic of the text. B.To explain the definition of blessing.

C.To introduce the evidence of the text. D.To tell the cause of saying “bless you”.

【2】Why do people say “bless you” to sneezers?

A.To avoid illness. B.To wish them health.

C.To comfort their family. D.To get a get-well card from others.

【3】How does the author state people’s ideas in the last paragraph?

A.By raising questions. B.By analyzing data.

C.By making comparisons. D.By listing causes.

【4】What does the text mainly talk about?

A.How “bless you” is introduced into English.

B.Why we wish sneezers health in various ways.

C.How people from various countries avoid sneezers.

D.Why people say the blessing when someone sneezes.
