26、 One day when I was 15 years old, I had some friends over to hang out. While we were making food in the kitchen, my brother came in. He placed his beef next to my thick one and said, “Courtney, your beef is bigger than mine. You don’t need to eat; you’re already fat enough.” Then he walked out… laughing.
Nasty comments on my physical appearance were nothing new. Something inside me gave in to his idea that my legs were unacceptable, and that became the last day that I ever willingly wore shorts until I was 30 years old. For the next 15 years, I spent summer after summer roasting in long pants.
But then I met Ragen Chastain, and she changed everything. I couldn’t believe that this woman who, like myself, weighed almost 300 pounds was so energetic and happy in her own skin. I listened as she shared her own journey to recovery and self-love. She talked about how amazing our bodies are, just by virtue of the things they do every day — like breathing, pumping blood to every cell, blinking and walking.
Walking! I was suddenly aware of how foolish I’d been for so long. There’re people who are born without legs, or who lack properly working legs, or who lose their legs, and I’d been hiding my perfectly strong, healthy, beautiful legs in shame because I had allowed someone to convince me that they weren’t good enough. The next day. I bought three pairs of shorts and a sundress and spent the entire summer letting my legs see the sun and feel the breeze.
The next time anyone comments on your body in a negative way, look them straight in the eye, smile and say, “If what you see bothers you so much, feel free to practice the ancient art of looking somewhere else.” That’s Ragen’s original, but I don’t think she’ll mind if you use it.
【1】What does the underlined word “Nasty” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Careless. B.Unpleasant. C.Naughty. D.Impatient.
【2】Why did the author wear long pants during summer for that 15 years?
A.To keep herself from the unbearable heat.
B.To make her more attractive.
C.To follow her brother’s advice.
D.To cover her legs.
【3】What do we know about Ragen Chastain from Paragraph 3?
A.She has succeeded in losing weight.
B.She likes to make comments on others.
C.She pays no attention to others’ advice.
D.Once she wasn’t content with her body image.
【4】What does the author think of Ragen’s original?
A.Funny. B.Useful. C.Unreasonable. D.Conventional.
27、I’m rather good at using maps. But I forgot the maps and here we were, late afternoon, last day of vacation, my daughter, my cousin and I, driving along a two-lane highway in Oregon. No other car in sight, and the sun had just gone down. Where was that sweet little village?
It was supposed to be right along this river. We drove on, farther into the unknown, river always at left as our guide. We kept passing farms and fields and now a few lights were coming out. In my head, I was doing a lot of self-criticisms: Why didn’t we start earlier, bring the map and on and on? My cousin and I were both impatient and stressed. My daughter, at least, was happy in the back seat, text messaging a friend. I pulled up on the shoulder of the road to think.
Just then-WOW! Amazing! A new scene had appeared. Where did it come from?
Right there, out of nowhere: a magical misty landscape. Fields stretched in silent purples, with rows of tall trees, darkening in the dusk (黄昏). I turned the car engine off. All was silent in the hot summer air. Beside us, a plum-colored river hardly moved between a border of trees, its dark lazy water reflecting the last light of day.
How breathtaking! Where had it been? If I had seen even a bit of this beauty while driving along, I could have stopped and taken a look. I had missed it all.
We miss a lot, almost everything, in fact, in our world. Our task-focused filters (过滤器) take care of that, selecting only what we need. We need to get to work. Have some lunch. We see what we need to see, often for purposes of survival. Gregory Bateson, speaking of beauty, said the judgment is selection of a fact. In our daily lives, who or what is doing the selecting? Can we make a change? Can we see further?
【1】Which of the following might be the destination of the author’s driving?
A.A vacation spot.
B.Her own home.
C.A tourist centre.
D.Her cousin’s farm.
【2】What made the author keep blaming herself in the beginning?
A.That the vacation was below her expectations.
B.That she wasn’t as good at using maps as before.
C.That lack of full preparations got her to lose her way.
D.That her cousin and daughter couldn’t get along.
【3】The author felt really amazed because _________.
A.she discovered a tourist spot unknown to the public
B.her carelessness brought an unexpected pleasure
C.she unintentionally reached what she had planned to
D.the right route (路线) to her destination came out of nowhere
【4】What does the story intend to tell us?
A.Stay cool when you are trapped in trouble.
B.Make a change for the purpose of survival.
C.Be positive because there's always an alternative (choice).
D.Slow down your paces to enjoy beauty in life.
28、How to Be Excited About Your Day
Do you want to be excited about your day? Do you want to go through your day with enthusiasm? While I still have a lot to improve, I can prove that I’m often excited about my day. As a result, I go through it with enthusiasm and end the day feeling satisfied. 【1】? Based on my experiences, here is how to be excited about your day.
【2】. You can’t be excited about your day if you are complaining. You need to build an attitude of gratitude. To build it, you can find something to be thankful for and fill your mind with it. You could start with something simple that you might take for granted, such as living in peace or being healthy. In addition, focus on the positive side of things, even for seemingly bad things that happened. For instance, when something went wrong, focus on the lessons that you can learn from it, not on the disadvantages. 【3】 .
Have something to look forward to. Next, you should have something to look forward to during your day. For example, when Bill Gates was asked about the one thing that most excited him to start his day, his answer was “ learning new things ” . That is the thing that he looks forward to. What is the answer in your case? Having a cause that matters to you will help you a lot here. 【4】. You will feel excited because you know that what you do matters.
Manage your energy. 【5】, but they might not be enough to maintain you throughout the day. For this, you need to manage your energy. This includes both your physical and mental energy. Even if you start your day well, without good energy management you would lose your enthusiasm.
Pretty simple, aren’t they? Try doing these and you will be excited about your day.
A.Is that really working
B.How could that happen
C.Learn to enjoy what you are doing
D.Have something to be grateful for
E.This will put you in a positive state of mind
F.It will give you a sense of purpose as you go through your day
G.The two points above can help you start your day with enthusiasm

Adam lived with his parents in one city while his grandparents lived far away in another city. Adam’s parents usually took their son to his grandparents’ house during summer holiday every year and stayed there for around 20 days. Adam’s grandfather loved him very much and spent a lot of time playing with him. His grandmother always cooked delicious food for him. Adam loved his stay there. This continued for years. The boy grew up over time.
One day Adam said to his parents, “Now, I am old enough to go to grandparents’ house alone. So, please let me go by myself.”
His parents didn’t agree at first but Adam insisted(坚持). They finally agreed. But they were worried about his safety. So, they taught him everything he needed to know to travel alone.
The day came when Adam was to leave for his grandparents’ house. And his parents came to see him off at the train station. When the boy was comfortably seated on the train, his parents got off and waited for the train to leave.
While waiting, the father went to the window and kept talking to his son. He handed his son an envelope(信封) from the window and said, “Son, if you feel afraid on the way, open this and read it. It will help you to calm down.”
