22、A student named Bruce sent me an email. He said, “My parents promised me a trip to California Disneyland if I get good grades in the final exams. 【1】. Why do adults connect everything with school grades?”

The following are my tips about his problem:

I understand your problem, and this must be frustrating to hear. Studies are important in a young person’s life. 【2】. However, too much stress could have a negative influence on your mood and even how you perform at school.

For the time being, it is best to have a positive attitude. 【3】. However, if you feel that your parents are putting you under too much pressure, then be honest and tell them how you feel. This way in the future when you have more exams, they will be less likely to put you in such an awkward situation, in which your results directly determine how they treat you.

【4】 if you explain to them your annoyance and how the added stress will be counter-productive (产生反效果的) for your exam performance.

It may be a long time since your parents were at school so they may find it difficult to understand your situation. I remember the days when I endlessly studied for exams, worrying before the big day came. 【5】, instead of worrying about the future consequences of any result. As a general rule for exams, try to make sure you have a schedule that allows you time to relax. I found this incredibly useful in helping me keep focused.

Be honest with your parents. At the end of the day, you are still fortunate enough that you have the chance of a trip after the exams are over.

A．But if I don’t, they will cancel the trip

B．Don’t expect much from them

C．I always found it best to focus on the task at hand

D．Your parents want to reward you for your hard work

E．I feel full of confidence and so open to possibilities

F．They may think differently about how they offer motivation

G．Try and let this potential reward motivate you if you can

24、   If a steaming bowl of soup strikes you as the ultimate in comfort, you've got plenty of company. Soup is one of the world's oldest and most universal foods.

These are CNN's nominations for 4 of the best soups around the world:

Beef pho / Vietnam

Broth is simmered for hours with cinnamon, star anise and other warm spices to create a wonderfully fragrant base for this noodle soup.

Beef pho remains the most beloved version in Vietnam, with options that include the original raw beef, a mix of raw and cooked beef.

Bouillabaisse / France

Bouillabaisse distills classic Mediterranean flavors into a dish which has the same meaning as the coastal city of Marseille. Saffron, olive oil, fennel, garlic and tomatoes blend with fish fresh from the sea.

Lanzhou beef noodle soup / China

Shaping-or pulling-la mian noodles by hand for this traditional soup is an art in itself. Artisans use a finely milled, high-gluten flour and alkaline powder to mix a stretchy dough, then pull and fold a single piece of dough to make enough noodles for a bowl of soup.

Slip them into a bowl of beef soup for a world-class soup that includes tender beef, pale slices of carrots, chili oil and fresh herbs.

Tom yum goong / Thailand

Sweet, sour, spicy and salty, this soup's magnificent broth is the ideal foil for sweet, tender shrimp. Fragrant ingredients include galangal, lemongrass and lime leaves, while slivers of bright red bird's eye chilis add additional heat.

Tom yum goong is just one of many varieties of tom yum soup in Thailand - this version comes enriched with fat prawns, and is a favorite with many diners.

25、A Need to Close the Digital Gender Gap

One of the most efficient ways to promote peace and jump-start flagging economies is to empower girls and invest in their education. Today, girls’ lack of access to basic education is _______when it comes to the use of digital technology, leaving them far behind boys. And because the world is ever more digital, those who lack basic Internet skills will find it_________difficult to participate in the formal economy, to obtain a quality education, to_______health care, information and psychosocial support, and to have their voices heard.

Since 2013 the global gender gap in male and female access to the Internet has actually increased from 11 to 12 percent. _________yet, women and girls living in the poorest countries are 31 percent less_________than men and boys to have access to the Internet. In developing countries, some 200 million fewer women than men own a mobile phone, the most common means of Internet access there. This digital_________is increasing, and should it continue at the present pace, it is predicted that over 75 percent of women and girls will lack Internet access and _________skills.

There are many causes for the digital gender gap. They include girls’ obvious ___________from basic education, from specific technology education and design, high costs of both___________and Internet access, scarcity of content relevant for women and girls, and socio-cultural biases and____________, such as barriers to women speaking freely and privately both online and offline. Indeed, one of the most insidious (隐伏的) reasons why girls may be____________from learning how to access and use digital technology is also a groundless one: that girls are simply not good at using technology. The United Nations has announced that human rights online are human rights offline. These stereotypes reinforce harmful norms that keep women and girls from enjoying their human rights.

According to the International Institute for Sustainable Development, an independent, non-profit and non-governmental research organization, the gender digital gap is a major__________to women’s economic empowerment and participation in the economy. __________a major increase of policy effort and investment, most of the benefits of technological change will be enjoyed only by men, worsening gender inequality. This also results in____________economic growth and innovation that is possible only when men and women have equal access to technology and the economy.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。

Almost all the possessions had been sold to buy food and clothing for the family. At last, nothing was left but the pet lamb, Daisy. At the thought of parting with the little creature, Mrs. Grant’s felt sad because the children loved it very much. Having struggled hard, she had to make up her mind to sell the lamb. But she could not ask any child to go for the butcher. Finally, she went herself with a heavy heart, dragging her leaden feet, and bargained with the butcher for the sale of Daisy.

While the children were all playing with the lamb, the butcher and his boy came to the door. “ You see I am here for the lamb, ” said the butcher in a loud voice. Hearing this, one child ran to her mother’s side, and asked what was happening in alarm. Mrs. Grant gently pushed the child aside, bent down and was about to tell the truth.

“That’s my lamb now, Charlie! ” said the butcher’s boy in a playful tone, going up to Daisy with a rope in his hand.

“No, it is not your lamb. It is ours! ” said Charlie, placing himself in front of it.

But the boy, pushing him aside, threw a rope round Daisy’s neck, and began to drag the little creature away. The poor lamb bleated (咩咩叫) very sadly. The cry of grief which fell upon the mother’s ears was too much for her, and her heart sank within her. In a moment, begging with tearful eyes, the children were all around their mother with voices choking with sobs for their little pet.

“Please tell your boy to stop a moment, ” she said in husky tones to the butcher. The boy, at a word from the butcher, stopped dragging the lamb, and the little creature stopped its bleating.

In a trembling voice, Mrs. Grant explained to them how badly off they were after their father died. She also added that the kind butcher had given the money for Daisy. With this money, she could buy her children bread to eat.

注意：1.续写词数应为150词左右；
