21、Have you ever noticed that lessons tend to repeat themselves? Does it seem as if you married or dated the same person several times in different bodies with different names? Have you run into the same type of boss over and over again? If you don't deal well with authority figures at home, then you will have an opportunity to deal with them out in the world. You will continually draw into your life people who need to enforce authority, and you will struggle with them until you learn the lesson of obedience(服从).
You will continually attract the same lesson into your life. You will also draw to you teachers to teach you that lesson until you get it right. You may try to avoid the situation, but they will eventually catch up with you. The only way you can free yourself of difficult patterns and issues you tend to repeat is by shifting your perspective so that you can recognize the patterns and learn the lessons that they offer. To face these challenges means you need to accept the fact that something within you keeps drawing you to the same kind of person or issue, though that situation or relationship may be very painful.
The challenge, therefore, is to identify and release the patterns that you are repeating. This is no easy task, since it means you have to change, and change is not always easy. Staying just as you are may not help you advance spiritually, but it certainly is comfortable in its familiarity.
Rising to the challenge of identifying and releasing your patterns forces you to admit that the way you have been doing things isn’t working. The good news is that by identifying and releasing the pattern, you actually learn how to change. In order to facilitate your process of change, you will need to learn the lessons of willingness and patience. Once you master these, you will most likely find the challenge of identifying and releasing your patterns far less intimidating.
【1】The words “lessons tend to repeat themselves” (Para. l) probably mean that ______.
A.you tend to marry and date the same person

【2】You could stop attracting the same lesson into your life when you ______.
A.try your best to avoid those situations
B.recognize the patterns and learn the lessons that they offer
C.get the courage to face those challenges
D.change your attitudes toward life
【3】The author’s attitude towards the idea of staying just as you are is ________.
A.intimidating
B.disapproving
C.supportive
D.cautious
【4】The author thinks that willingness and patience______.

B.help you to identify your old patterns

D.arouse your inner desire to change
22、Nelson Mandela, once said: “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.” Mandela understood our mother language is very personal thing to us.
After all, it’s the language we first hear and the language we first learn to speak. We can communicate in a nuanced(微妙的) way through our mother language, expressing our emotions and moods more fluently. We make friends in our mother language. We fall in love in it. When we die, we know people will mourn for us in our mother language.
For people who speak an ancient tongue as their mother language, their language is their main link with their ancestors. And it is also how they imagine the future. So it’s a serious thing that a language disappears. Over the last century, more than 400 languages have died. Some languages are now spoken only by a few dozen people, like Yagan in Chile. Africa and South America are also places where many languages are imperiled.
Why are humans speaking fewer languages than we once did? The answer has to do with globalization(全球化). With greater trade and communication, the planet has become smaller. Some people aren’t prepared to accept a planet with fewer and fewer languages.
Through efforts both large and small, they are getting people to speak and read in certain languages, and to pass them on. The United Nations has set Feb 21st as International Mother Language Day to raise awareness of dying languages. This work is very important. As US writer Rita Mac Brown wrote, “Language is the roadmap of a culture. It tells where its people come from and where they are going”.
【1】The author uses Nelson Mandela’s words in order to ________.
A.show great respect for Mandela
B.stress the importance of mother language
C.show Mandela’s contribution to language
D.draw our attention to language learning
【2】What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.The friendship.
B.The mother language.
C.The emotion.
D.The ancient tongue.
【3】What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?
A.The road map of a culture.
B.Efforts to save the dying languages.
C.A planet with fewer languages.
D.International Mother Language Day.
【4】What might be the best title for the text?
A.Our Languages Tell Us More
B.Why Languages are Disappearing
C.The Rise and Fall of a Language
D.International Mother Language Day

24、 This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers (young people aged from 13-19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in US homes. They will attend US schools, meet US teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
Here is a two-way student exchange(交流/交换) in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In turn, George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.
Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study, the language began to come to him. The school was completely different from what he had expected—much harder. Students rose respectfully (尊敬地) when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.
Family life, too, was different. The father's words were the law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.
“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”
At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize(批评) American schools," he says. "It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”
【1】This year _______ teenagers will take part in the exchange program between America and other countries.
A.twenty-three hundred B.thirteen hundred
C.over three thousand D.less than two thousand

A.there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings

【4】After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought _______.
A.a better education should include something good from both America and Germany
