21、You’ve probably heard about sports coaches, fitness coaches, voice and music teachers, career counselors（咨询） psychiatrists (精神科医师) and other specialists who teach skills and help us cope with daily life.

But there’s a rapidly growing kind of professionals who do a little bit of everything. She or he is called a “ life coach”. People who are at the crossroads in their life, and corporations that want to give certain employees a career boost , are turning to them for help.

The idea that one person’s success story can change other people’s life for the better goes back at least to the 1930s. Dale Carneigie’s famous self-improvement program “ How to Win Friends and Influence People” came along soon thereafter.

But this new style of life coaches includes more than enthusiastic speakers or writers. They use their own experiences in business, sports, military service, or psychotherapy (心理疗法) to help others make critical life decisions. They often give their approaches a slogan, such as “energy coaching” or “fearless living” or “working yourself happy”.

Dave Lakhani in Boise, Idaho, for instance, works with salespeople to develop what he calls a “road map”. He says an ongoing relationship with a coach is like having a personal fitness trainer for one’s career and life outside work.

Lakhani’s Bold Approach coaching firm also donates some of its time to help people who are anything but successful---including battered (殴打) women and struggling single mothers.

But others in the so-called “helping professions” are not thrilled about the life-coaching movement. They say that anyone, trained or untrained, can call himself or herself a life coach, and that slick(华而不实的) promoters who mess with people’s lives can do more harm than good.

【1】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. Working Yourself Happy.

B. How to Cope with Daily Life with Life Coaches.

C. Life Coaches Help with Tough Decisions.

D. The Life-Coaching Movement.

【2】 What is a “life coach”?

A. A career counselor who teaches skills.

B. A psychiatrist who helps us deal with daily life.

C. A fitness coach who teaches us lessons.

D. A specialist who helps us make important life decisions.

【3】The last paragraph is mainly about__________.

A. the introductions of life coaches

B. the disagreements of life coaches

C. the effects of life coaches 

D. the experiences of life coaches

22、How often do you notice yourself worrying about things you can’t change? The most likely answer is a few times a day, if not more. Why? No real reason. All it does is create unnecessary additional stress for both your body and mind while preventing you from experiencing the joys of today. 【1】 Here are several strategies to help you get your worrying in control.

● Accept uncertainty and learn to thrive in it.

The beauty of life lies in how unpredictable it is. 【2】 Learn to embrace this uncertainty and thrive in it. Who knows — it could even bring some exciting new opportunities you never even thought about. Put your heart and soul into the things you care about, and work hard on achieving your dreams. That is all you can do. The rest is up to the world.

●【3】

Really can’t seem to get it out of your head? Go do something completely unrelated and different that forces you to focus on something else. 【4】 For example, I’m able to escape the world when I go to my horses — even just brushing them and spending time with them takes my mind away from other things. You can also practise your hobby or read an exceptional book.

● Have a designated worry time and worry notebook.

If you really want to take control of those worries and you’re finding that the above strategies don’t work, allow yourself to worry for a certain time period every day. Spend that time writing about all your worries in that notebook, and accept that when the time is up, the worrying will have to stop. 【5】 It is very effective to clear your head.

A．Call a friend to talk about your worry.

B．Distract yourself with another activity.

C．You never quite know what’s around the corner.

D．That way, you will get them out of your head and onto paper.

E．You may as well choose an activity that you get fully engaged in.

F．Maybe it’s high time you learned to take your worrying down a notch(等级).

G．Setting down your worry will help you know about whether your worry is realistic.

23、Though fireworks (烟花) on bonfire night bring joy to many people, it is likely to be a night of fright and pain for the UK’s geese (鹅).

Research by Anglia Ruskin University has found that fireworks displays (表演) cause wild birds to suffer significant pain, and researchers have recommended that displays should not take place in areas with large wildlife populations. A study, published in the journal Conservation Physiology, is one of the first carried out into the effects of fireworks on wildlife. It found that the heart rate (率) of geese increases by 96% when they are influenced by fireworks displays.

The study involved 20 wild grey lag geese fitted with recorders to record their heart rate and body temperature, which are measures of physiological stress. Claudia Wascher, who led the research, found that the average heart rate increased from 63 to 124 beats per minute, and their average body temperature increased from 38℃ to 39℃, in the first hour of fireworks displays. It took the geese about five hours before the birds displayed normal body temperatures, with average readings returning by 5 am.

“Ours is one of the first scientific studies to examine whether fireworks disturb wildlife. There have been previous studies showing that fireworks can cause anxiety in pets, for example in dogs, but little research has been done into how animals in the wild react. We need to carry out further research to conclusively tell whether the geese are reacting to the noise or the light pollution from the fireworks, or a combination of both. Many people get a lot of enjoyment from fireworks but it’s important that we consider animals both pets and wildlife — whenever planning a display,” Wascher said.

【1】What advice do researchers give according to the findings of the study?

A．Geese should be protected especially at night.

B．Great attention should be paid to the UK’s geese.

C．Fireworks displays should be held without harming wildlife.

D．Fireworks displays should take place to bring joy to people.

【2】Why were 20 wild grey lag geese fitted with recorders?

A．To compare the heart rates between them.

B．To make them safe and sound in the wild.

C．To keep their body temperature normal.

D．To measure their physiological stress.

【3】How long do the geese need to get over the effect of fireworks displays on body temperature?

A．About five hours.

B．About four hours.

C．About two hours.

D．About one hour.

【4】What may Wascher’s further research about?

A．The relations between light pollution from fireworks and geese.

B．The effects of noise and light pollution from fireworks on geese.

C．Whether fireworks influence other wild animals.

D．The influence of a display on pets and wildlife.

24、阅读理解。

Every country has its heroes.The heroes are the people the nation and especially the young people admire.If you get a list of the heroes of a nation,it will tell you the potential(潜力) of that nation.

Today in America,if you ask the high school students to list their heroes,their choices would probably fall into three groups.The first group of heroes would be the rock stars—the people connected with rock music.There is no doubt that such people do have talent(才能).But one wonders if one should treat rock stars as a model.The rock stars too often are mixed with drugs and their personal life is not all that good.The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles.However,one should seek more in a hero than such things as money and good clothes.

A second type of hero for the American youth is the sports star.Again you have a person who has a great ability in one area—sports.However,too often the personal life of the sports star is a bit of disorder.Too frequently drugs and drinking are a part of life of the sports star.

A third type of hero is the TV or movie star.This person may have lots of acting talent and is quite handsome.However,the personal life of too many actors is quite sad and they should not be held up as a model of young people.Today,the rock star,the athlete and the actor all have become the models of the youth in America.Really,do you hear a young person say that his hero is a doctor,a teacher or a scientist?These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes.However,they are talented people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone.

What is really sad is that the young try to imitate(模仿) their heroes.They like to wear the same clothes and follow their styles.If the heroes of today for the American young people are limited only to rock stars,athletes and actors,the future does not look too bright.

【1】The last sentence of the first paragraph implies that .

A.if a nation has a lot of heroes,it will be strong

B.heroes of a nation will make the nation itself

25、I was a high school senior. One day, I skipped classes and walked into the ________. I spotted a book called The Treasure of Pleasant Valley written by Frank Yerby.

When I ________ it, I saw another book ________ written by Frank Yerby. So I thought, maybe I’d read that, too. So I put it under my jacket and later I took it back. That semester, I ________ a total of four books by Frank Yerby.

Years later, I met Mrs. Grady, the teacher who had been the ________ . She told me she had seen me taking the first book. She said her first ________ had been “to go and tell the boy, you don’t have to steal a book”. You can ________ borrow them from the library and pay nothing.
