21、 I'm terrible at giving myself grace. I'm a perfectionist, and I have unrealistic expectations for myself at times. I can remember simple errors I made. So often, we let perfection dominate our lives without even realizing it. 【1】 And I hope you'll consider doing that, too.
Realize that being burnt out doesn't mean that you're not good at what you do. I want to do my best in everything. The trouble starts when we overwork ourselves. 【2】 That's OK.
Taking a break. Most of all, I hope you prioritize your mental health. Take care of yourself. Be gentle with yourself.
No one is asking you to be perfect. We're all messy humans with strengths and weaknesses. Embrace yours, even when it isn't perfect. When you make mistakes, take responsibility and learn from them. Remember that this isn't the first or the last mistake that you've made. Give in to grace. Something might be a huge issue for me, other people probably won't notice or care.
【3】
Write it on your heart that whatever you do today is enough. It is easy to emphasize what we've yet to do instead of what we've already done. Yes, there is always room for growth and improvement. 【4】 Maybe you made your bed. Maybe you made it to work on time. Those things might not seem big, but they're still victories.
【5】 If you messed up today, you can try again tomorrow. If you succeeded today, you can try again tomorrow. You have to keep moving on into the rest of your story or you'll miss the train to bigger things than this. Start in your worry or your fear or your joy. Start wherever you are and keep going. Start with grace.
A.Your story isn't finished just yet.
B.That is meant much of our struggle is internal.
C.Then I've realized I need a little bit more rest.
D.You are supposed to aim high and work for it.
E.But there is room to celebrate the little victories.
F.I've decided to change that and give myself grace.
G.Remember that you can be perfect through your efforts.
22、
You’ve been asking for a while now, so we’re agreeing to it, but there are going to be some rules, OK? This is going to be your dog, not Mommy and Daddy’s, which means you will be taking care of him. And taking care of another living thing is a big responsibility.
It’s going to be your job to feed him, to bathe him and to walk him. If he poops, you’re going to clean it. If your dog gets sick, you’ll have to take him to the vet. If he goes to Doggy Heaven, you will have to bury him. If he happens to be buried in a magic place that causes him to come back to life and become a zombie dog, and I know we may sound like a broken record here, it’s going to be your job to take care of him. Dead or undead, it’s still your concern.
If he kills a deer and drags it to our yard, it’s going to be your responsibility to remove that dead deer. Your pet, your dead deer. If he steps things up and kills a human, perhaps a mailman, as his owner, you might be legally involved in that person’s death. If you try to cover up that death and, in a rush, bury him in the same magic place, bringing him back to life too, don’t scream and cry because a zombie mailman is trying to burst into your bedroom. Your pet, your zombie mailman.
If the zombie mailman kills you, will we be upset? Of course we will. You’re our child. And our child didn’t take her pet-ownership duties seriously enough to predict this sort of thing. If we choose to bury you in the same magic place and allow you to come back to life, we’ll need to make one thing absolutely clear. Just because your human life ends doesn’t mean your human responsibilities end with it. Homework is homework. If the dog’s still kicking around, food/walks/baths—you know the drill.
So the answer is yes, you can get a dog. Or just stick with your goldfish. Your call.
【1】What can we infer from the underlined part “we may sound like a broken record”?
A.The parents keep playing a broken record.
B.The parents keep reminding their child of her duty.

A.He is sure to upset the parents.
B.He is bound to kill a deer or a man.
C.He is expected to become a zombie.
D.He is supposed to be cared for well.
【3】How is the passage developed?
A.By comparison.
B.By analysis.
C.By assumption.
D.By debate.
【4】What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A.To show the experience of raising a pet dog.

24、Automakers around the world, from Japan to Texas, are struggling with a global shortage of computer chips. Volkswagen sounded the alarm about the growing problem last month. Now more automakers are reporting problems that are trimming production plans based on their supply of semiconductors (半导体).
Semiconductors are at the heart of our phones and computers, but they're critical components for new cars, too — and not just in fancy touchscreens. "They're controlling the engine and the emissions and even in the switches for raising and lowering your windows," says Kristin Dziczek, the vice president at the Center for Automotive Research.
Last year, when auto manufacturing was suspended for the pandemic, everyone predicted a prolonged slowdown in car sales. The global semiconductor industry planned accordingly, and arranged to sell more computer chips to other buyers. But then, much to everyone's surprise, shoppers were still eager to buy new cars. As soon as they reopened, plants resumed normal production at a remarkable speed.
At the same time, demand for chips from other sectors — like consumer electronics — was also increasing. "Every school district in the country had to buy new computers," Dziczek says.
For car shoppers, this could mean some vehicle models are harder to find for the next few months. So far, the consequences have been uneven among automakers. Ford and Fiat Chrysler have entire plants on pause, while General Motors says its manufacturing operations have not been affected, and Toyota does not expect any impact to employment. The United Auto Workers, which represents factory workers at Ford, GM and Fiat Chrysler plants, notes that its contracts include "unemployment and supplemental pay" for workers affected by production downtimes.
【1】In what ways can semiconductors not be applied in cars?
A.In the engine system.
B.In fancy touchscreens.
C.In the emission system.
D.In the switches of car doors.
【2】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.It'll be harder for shoppers to find a dream car.
B.The contracts are not beneficial to the workers.
C.Toyota is expected to face employment problem.
D.All the automakers have paused the entire plants.
【3】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.A Dream Car Is Not A Dream
B.The Growing Popularity Of Semiconductor
C.Semiconductor Won't Hurt Chip Production
D.Auto Production Disturbed By Chip Shortages
