21、 Throughout history, the world looks for heroes in times of uncertainty. But what makes a hero? A cape (披风) and tights? Heroism is something that every one of us can aspire to, but not all of us will achieve. It takes a special kind of person to be a hero: bravery, compassion, dedication and sacrifice.
In a paper published in Review of General Psychology, researchers Blau, Franco and Zimbardo agreed on a definition of heroism: Heroes voluntarily serve others in need and are willing to make sacrifices for these actions without expecting any reward or personal gain. 【1】. People who become heroes care for the people around them and are also able to see things from others' perspectives. They value the well-being of others.
【2】 Despite your good intentions, trying to be a hero in a dangerous situation when you have nothing to offer others may be foolish and could create more difficulties for rescue workers. For example, first aid training or knowledge of kung fu may be useful in certain situations and pave the path for heroism. Even if you possess heroic traits, the right situation must arise in order to truly become a hero. Only when there are dangerous situations can a hero rise up to save the day. 【3】. This is true bravery.
Heroes are needed every day, and we can read about them in the most recent news. 【4】. Doctors and nurses treat sick patients despite the risk of becoming sick themselves. Others have changed lives by donating a life-saving organ or just doing a favor when there's a need.
Even though most of us won't save the world, 【5】. American actor Christopher Reeve, most famous for his role as Superman, said, "A hero is someone who, in spite of weakness, doubt or not always knowing the answers, goes ahead and overcomes anyway."
A.Heroes always have good purposes and brave to face danger.
B.We can work at developing the hero inside of us.
C.Empathy and compassion for others are also common traits that all heroes seem to possess.
D.Heroes are everywhere to find.
E.To be a hero, you must have certain strengths.
F.There are firefighters who run into burning buildings to save the people inside.
G.A hero must risk his or her life to save others.
22、Alice In Wonderland is my favorite story. And acting is my number one passion.
At my old school, Poulsbo Elementary, I’d starred in every play from third grade on. Before that, gymnastics was my thing. But then I played my first role as Tinkerbell in Peter Pan. And after that, back flips just couldn’t compare.
So when my sixth-grade teacher, Mrs Pearson announced during my first week at Newland Elementary that we’d be performing Alice in Wonderland for the school play, I practically screamed out loud with excitement. I’d always wanted to play the role of Alice! In the story, Alice went down a rabbit hole where weird (怪异的) things happened. Somehow I could relate to her more than ever now that I was going to a new school.
When Mrs Pearson announced that I would act as one of the hedgehogs (刺猬) in the play, my stomach started to ache! The hedgehogs had no lines but just got hit with mallets (木槌) and then disappeared! But I clapped along with everyone else and pasted a fake smile on my face. Maybe I should just go back to gymnastics and forget all about acting.
Tyler and Ella were the other two hedgehogs. When we were outside the classroom, Ella had one hand against the wall and appeared to be doing ballet warmups. “I really wanted to be the Queen of Hearts,” said Ella. She raised her left leg so that it was almost parallel to her body.
“Yeah, I wanted to be the Cheshire Cat,” said Tyler. He twirled (旋转) around with his hands clasped together above his head. Both of them seemed like good dancers.
Suddenly I had an idea.
My heart was pounding crazily. But at least I didn’t have a stomachache anymore.
The first rehearsal finally came. Then came our cue.
“One...two...three,” with the hedgehog costumes, we ran onstage in a line, steps synchronized (同步) and arms waving together. We stopped in front of the Queen of Hearts and curtsied (屈膝). She was so surprised that she almost forgot her next line.
The Queen took her mallet and aimed at Hedgehog #1—Ella. When the mallet touched her, Ella spun and jumped across the stage using moves from Ballet. “Wow,” said everyone.
The mallet came down on Hedgehog #2, Tyler. Tyler glided across the stage doing a Sideways Moonwalk. “Aah,” said the cast, even louder than before.
The Queen looked excited as she prepared to hit Hedgehog #3—me. When the mallet tapped me, I did three back flips. Everyone erupted into applause.
The three of us looked at each other. We knew we managed to surprise everyone by making small parts cool.
I still miss my friends in Poulsbo. But Seattle feels a lot less like the rabbit hole now, and a lot more like home.

23、On average, we each eat more than 20 kilograms of fish per year. Worldwide, between 1961 and 2016, fish consumption increased faster than meat consumption, and grew twice as fast as the human population. All of these fishy dinners have reduced marine fish stocks to a point where a third of global fish stocks are now classed as "overfished". Fishing also has negative impacts on non-food species in the ecosystem, and pollutes the waters with fishing waste. Temporary fishing bans may help, but what if we banned fishing altogether?
One thing is for sure: the ocean would hopefully become a better place for marine species. Recent years have seen plastic products much less used as the public has woken up to the effects of marine plastics. But few people realize the contribution that fishing makes. Pieces of abandoned fishing tools account for about 10 percent of all marine litter, and according to a 2018 study, 86 percent of the big pieces of plastics floating in the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch". Without fishing, we'd also wipe out emission from fishing boats. One 2014 study claimed that fishing industry was actually highly fuel-consuming, like lobsters, with some boats using 20,000 liters of fuel to catch a single ton.
However, what we must not forget is that our planet is highly dependent on fishing in various ways. Around the world,40 million people earn their living directly from catching wild fish, while another 19 million are employed in relevant industries. A total ban on fishing would make it hard for them to put food in their families' mouths. Moreover, seafood is a major source of protein across Southeast Asia and islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. So while in Europe or the US people could eat more meat or soy products to make up for lost protein, there could be food shortage in communities with little land-based farming.
Though not a realistic choice, a total fishing ban is an interesting thought experiment, which may throw light on how man can get along with marine species. After all, the damage fishing does to the entire ecosystem and the pollution it brings about are becoming so enormous that it's time we did something to change it.
【1】Why would the ocean become a better place if we banned fishing altogether?
A.Because there would be less pollution to the ocean.
B.Because the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" would disappear.
C.Because lobster fishing boats would consume less fuel.
D.Because people would realize the effects of using plastics.
【2】What could happen to humans if fishing were completely banned?
A.Some would suffer from a lack of food.
B.Some would change their diet and eat less meat.
C.Some communities would start developing land-based farming.
D.Some workers would have to find jobs in fishing-relevant industries.
【3】What is the author's attitude towards a total fishing ban?
A.Favorable.
B.Objective.
C.Disapproving.
D.Concerned.
【4】What can be the best title for the passage?
A.The Urgent Need of a Total Fishing Ban.
B.The Harmful Effects of Fishing industry.
C.A Newly Launched Policy on Fishing Industry.
D.An Assumption of a Complete Fishing Ban.
24、 Well, to pick up where we left off last time, I believe now we might all agree that self-improvement is of great benefit for each of us. However, there are lots of stops along the road to self-improvement, which often calls for patience, emotional (情绪的) strength and kindness. 【1】
Fight fairly. When arguing with another person, stick to the subject. Present the facts briefly, and don’t bring up unrelated incidents that happened 4 weeks from last Tuesday. Listen to the other person’s point of view. It is just as important as yours
Hold your temper. Life will always set barriers on your way. 【2】 You can become a nicer person by dealing with stress in a proper, adult manner rather than becoming annoyed at people who have troubled you.
【3】 Nice people always put themselves in the other person’s shoes. If the service is a little slow, maybe it’s because the waitress has been standing for 8 hours and her back and feet are aching. You never know the full story from a brief meeting with a person.
Complain in a reasonable way. Service-oriented businesses often live by the idea “The Customer is Always Right.” They are mistaken. The customer is not always right; sometimes he/she is quite unreasonable. You don’t “deserve” a free meal because the waitress forgot to bring knife and fork. 【4】
◆ Put others first. Nice people make a concentrated effort to be kind and put others heeds above their own. Let the troubled-looking Mom have the parking space. 【5】 Don’t interrupt people when they’re speaking, or finish their sentences for them. Such small things, yet the effects are immediate and far-reaching.
A.Be understanding.
B.Just learn to accept them and move on.
C.If you have a complaint, air it out, but be reasonable.
D.When it is beyond your head, ask for professional assistance.
E.Stand a few extra seconds holding the door for an elderly person.
F.With concentrated effort, you can become a better person than you ever thought possible.
G.Stop a moment and think how you can help to solve the problems, and you’ll be a success.
