21、Indoor Plants

As with any house guests，indoor plants require a certain amount of basic，regular attention if they are going to feel at home. The first consideration when purchasing plants is to make reasonably sure that they are suitable for the condition in which they are going to be housed.

A general rule for most plans being brought indoors for the first time is to ensure that they have reasonable temperature of not less than 60 degrees Fahrenheit，a position out of cold air，safe from pets and not exposed to strong sunlight.

Plants love company. When plants are growing together，they create an atmosphere of damp around themselves which is far more beneficial than hot dry conditions. A group of plants will also present a more pleasing picture and provide an opportunity for a creative arrangement. There is no secret to this. Just rely on your natural feeling for harmony.

Watering and feeding plants are probably the two areas of care that are the least well understood，but，again，if you follow a few simple rules，your plants should do well. Cold Slightly warm water is therefore the answer. It is usually better to pour water on to the soil on the surface of the pot rather than put the water into the pot holder at the bottom. Avoid giving small amount of water at regular intervals- it is much better to wet the soil right through the pot in one go and then to allow it to dry noticeably before giving it a further watering.

The majority of indoor plants will be in active growth from March until October，and during this time，the established ones will benefit from regular feeding. This may mean feeding with a weak liquid fertilizer(肥料) at each watering or at intervals of a week or ten days with fertilizer at a standard strength. It is important，however，to ensure that plants are not fed when growth is inactive，when the soil in the pot is dry，or too soon after the plants has been potted up.

【1】In Paragraph 2，the author mainly tells us to___________.

A． but plants that help clean indoor air

B． create a new environment with plants

C． put plants on the sunny side of the room

D． make sure of suitable conditions for plants

【2】What’s the benefit of plants growing together?

A． It provides owners good company.

B． It helps the air around them slightly wet.

C． It makes it convenient to look after them.

D． It allows owners to draw a pleasant picture.

【3】While watering the plants，what should we remember to do?

A． Use water that is a little warm.

B． Pour the water into the pot holder.

C． Give small amount of water at one time.

D． Consider further watering in dry weather.

【4】What is the best time to feed the plants?

A． When the soil is dry.

B． When their growth is active.

C． When the temperature is high.

D． When they have just been planted.

22、   Look on almost any street comer in America and you will see a fast food shop, the McDonald’s. Did you ever wonder why the McDonald's is so successful everywhere you go?

It certainly doesn't lie in the price of the food or the customer service there. If you stop for lunch at an airport McDonald's，half the continent away, the meal will be almost the same as the lunch you could order at the McDonald's that's closest to your home. What's more, anytime you eat at a McDonald's, you may feel nostalgia (怀旧之情)because the tastes are so similar to your first Happy Meal when you were a child.

The success of the McDonald's, which truly set the stage for other franchise (特许经销权) businesses all over the world, is owed to Ray Kroc. Ray，in 1954, partnered with Dick and Maurice McDonald, the founding brothers behind the first McDonald’s restaurant，to make this small restaurant a nationwide sensation (轰动). Ray's pushing the McDonald's farther than the founders proves an important concept in leadership: the Law of the Lid (盖子法则). The higher the person's ability to lead, the higher the lid on his or her potential.

The McDonald brothers understood how to run a business. They were excellent managers, but when they tried marketing the McDonald's concept, they failed. Their thinking patterns in leadership limited the lid of their potential on the level of what they can do or become. In contrast, the lid of potential in Ray's life was sky high due to his leadership. Between 1955 and 1959, he succeeded in opening 100 McDonald's restaurants. Today the company has more than 35,000 locations in over 120 countries around the world!

If you can get a handle on this law, you will see the unbelievable effect of leadership on every aspect of your life or your company. Wherever you look, you can find smart people who are only able to go so far because of the limitations of their leadership. That's why in times of trouble, organizations naturally look for new leadership. To lift the lid on your potential, continue your study of leadership.

【1】What is most probably the key to the McDonald's success?

A.Its fair price. B.Its consistency in food.

C.Its Happy Meal for children. D.Its warm and friendly service.

【2】What can we know about Ray Kroc?

A.He opened the first McDonald's.

B.He made the most popular food in the McDonald's.

C.He set up various stages for guests in the McDonald's.

D.He expanded the McDonald's into a worldwide business.

【3】Which of the following statements will the author agree with?

A.Ray Kroc lacked a strong sense of effectiveness and leadership.

B.A person's leadership determines the potential of his business.

C.The lid on the McDonald brothers' potential is fairly high.

D.An excellent manager is also good at marketing.

【4】What's the best title of the text?

A.Leadership counts B.Ways to realize our potential

C.Popularity of the McDonald's D.Secrets of running a business

23、Clever Ways to Use a Leaf Blower (扫叶机)

Your leaf blower can do a lot more than you give it credit for.【1】. From blasting old cobwebs (蜘蛛网) to cleaning your car, you might be surprised by the ways this trusty device can make your life easier through all seasons.

【2】. You never appreciate the sun more than after a rainstorm. Unfortunately, that's also when your outdoor furniture is too wet to sit on it and enjoy the clear skies. Use a leaf blower to quickly blow water droplets off tables and other hard surfaces.

Blow away light snow. After a light dusting of snow, grab your leaf blower and clear off your walkways or car in just seconds.【3】. A leaf blower is no match for the aftermath of a blizzard.

Blow debris (碎屑) out of your car. Maybe the trunk is a mess after you brought home a load of firewood, or the kids spilled dry cereal all over the backseat again. It's a lot easier to grab your leaf blower than it is to haul a vacuum outdoors and dig into every nook and cranny.【4】.

【5】. We all know that insects serve an important role in our ecosystem, and we shouldn't harm them if we can help it... but that's hard to remember when there's a huge, freaky-looking bug on your car or front door. If you're ever facing down an insect that you need to move but really don't want to touch, a blast of air from the leaf blower should do the trick.

A．Dry outdoor furniture

B．Move outdoor furniture

C．Move insects without touching them

D．Just open all the doors and blow out all the loose debris

E．Don't banish it to a dusty corner of the garage until autumn leaves start falling

24、After graduating from Chongqing City Management College, Tan Minyan from Chongqing decided to become a cemetery custodian(守墓人).

“With four colleagues. I don’t need to worry about any complicated relationships, ”the 22-year-old shared on her Sina Weibo. “Moreover, my office, dormitory and canteen are in the same building. the pace of work is slow and I almost feel as if I have retired early.”

Her decision has caused heated discussion on social media in November about how young people nowadays can deal with social anxiety and benefit from genuine interpersonal relationships.

According to the survey conducted in2021 by China Youth Daily, more than 80 percent of the nearly 5,000 college students questioned said they had mild social anxiety disorder. The disorder surfaces most frequently when speaking in front of large groups, communicating with strangers and asking for favors.

Cheng Qiang, who works for a media group in Beijing is one of them. The 29-year-old told China Daily he started having social anxiety disorder in middle school.

To avoid contact with coworkers, Cheng often wore a mask even when going to the toilet or kitchen so he would encounter fewer people.

”The disorder becomes more severe when I am around people who know me but are not close.“ he told China Daily. ”Their attention makes me nervous, and I don’t know how to respond.“

Wang Wenda, a psychology lecturer at Ningxia University’s Xinhua College, found that most of the people who suffer from social anxiety are introverted, lack confidence or social skills, or have suffered traumatic(造成创伤的)interpersonal relationships.

He also believes that the disorder is not trivial. It may lead to panic attacks and other psychological problems as a result of a lack of contact with other people.

According to China Daily, Wang’s suggested solution was as follows: ”People with social anxiety disorder should go out and expose themselves to more social gatherings and practice their social skills, adding that through greater social experience and small successes in social encounters, they will reap the benefits of having a real social life and come to enjoy positive interpersonal relations.”

【1】Why is Tan Minyan’s experience mentioned at the beginning of the text?

A．To suggest an alternative career path.

B．To lead up to the topic of social anxiety.

C．To illustrate what young people value in their work.

D．To present people’s attitudes toward her profession.

【2】What do we know about people with social anxiety disorder?

A．They are unwilling to help others.

B．They find it hard to do everyday tasks.

C．They feel uneasy when asking for favors.

D．They always feel anxious in public places.

【3】What does the underlined word “trivial“ in the second-to-last paragraph most probably mean?

A．Urgent.

B．Influential.

C．Unimportant.

D．Complicated

【4】What does Wang suggest people with social anxiety disorder do?

A．Join a social anxiety support group.

B．Go outside to relax themselves.

C．Seek help from a professional.

D．Engage in more social activities.
