21、We all want to draw the love of others.【1】The more you practice accepting and loving yourself, the more people are likely to love you! Here are some tips that can help you learn to love yourself.

Learn to recognize the negative things you tell yourself. Everyone has an inner voice that tells them all the bad things they are doing. You can never fully get rid of it, but you can give them less power to influence you.【2】Is it because you tell yourself that you are ugly, or that your personality is too strange? When you find you’re having a negative thought, replace it with a positive one.

【3】 It’s hard to deal with everything well in life. So don’t think too much about your flaws. Don’t be worried about making mistakes. Just accept your mistakes and learn from them.

Let yourself be imperfect. If you’re thinking you have to be perfect, stop that thinking right now. 【4】 Also, when you create the expectations of perfection for yourself, you will begin applying those expectations to others. It's hard to love someone who is often making you feel like you aren't perfect.

Enjoy your life.【5】So start to enjoy the things that are already in your life. For example, make yourself a delicious lunch, or go for a walk in the sun.

B．Build fun things into your workday.

C．Don’t always think highly of yourself.

F．However, this isn’t something that's going to happen overnight.

G．People would be drawn to those who are having fun with their life.

22、

We’ve all been there. You’re around new people and you just want to impress them. It can be easy to pretend you know about movies, politics, or science just to get through an awkward situation. But contrary to what feels most natural, a new series of five studies from Pepperdine University shows that those who can admit when they don’t know something tend to actually have more knowledge. If you want to make those people think you’re smart, maybe the best thing to say is “I don’t know.”

For the study, which was led by Elizabeth Krumrei-Mancuso, the team of researchers had one question: Is there a knowledge benefit to admitting intellectual fallibility? To find out, they ran not one, not two, but five separate experiments. They engaged nearly 1,200 participants in their study, and evaluated them using a number of questionnaires testing their cognitive abilities, measuring their own predictions of their cognitive abilities, and, of course, rating their levels of intellectual humility.

For that last part, they used different methods in different studies to get a more well﹣rounded set of results. One IH survey used eight questions to assess participants on two elements: the “Knowing﹣It﹣All” subscale, which judged their attitudes of intellectual superiority, and the “Intellectual Openness” subscale, which assessed how open they were to learning from others. In other studies, they used the 22-question “Comprehensive Intellectual Humility Scale,” which assesses participants on four elements: independence of intellect and ego, openness to revising one’s viewpoint, respect for others’ viewpoints, and lack of intellectual overconfidence. The five studies were used to examine past learning, thinking styles, traits, and motivations.

What the researchers may agree is that the best thing to remember is that curiosity seems to be a good thing. The world is big, and it’s impossible to know everything. At your next dinner party, ask questions and admit your own cluelessness. It might make you a little less clueless next time.

【1】Why did Elizabeth Krumrei-Mancuso led the study？

A.to find out whether admitting that you don’t know something is beneficial.

B.to find the certain benefit of admitting intellectual disability.

C.to compare the modest people with proud people.

D.to stress the importance of curiosity.

【2】From the article, we can learn that .

A.we all tend to pretend we have a good command of knowledge.

B.the study engaged over 1,200 participants in their study.

C.”I don’t know” may be a good answer to people who ask you if you are clever.

D.a number of questionnaires are used to test participants’ cognitive humility.

【3】What is the best title of the article？

A.Be yourself! B.Admitting your fallibility!

C.Express your drawbacks! D.Let curiosity lead you!

23、My beautiful new watch had run eighteen months without losing or gaining. But at last, one night, I forgot to wind it up and it stopped running. The next day I stepped into the jeweler’s to set it by the exact time, and the head of the shop started to set it for me. Then he said, “She is four minutes slow —— regulator wants pushing up.” I tried to stop him —— tried to make him understand that the watch kept perfect time. But no; he calmly and cruelly did the shameful deed.

My watch began to gain. It gained faster and faster day by day. Finally I took it to the watchmaker to be regulated. He forced the watch open, and then said it wanted cleaning and oiling, besides regulating. After this, my watch slowed down to an unbearable degree. I began to miss trains and my dinner.

At last, I took this instrument to another watchmaker. He said the kingbolt was broken. To tell the truth, I had no conception what the kingbolt was. He repaired it, but what the watch gained in one way it lost in another. It would run awhile and then stop awhile, and so on.

So I went with a heavy heart to one more watchmaker. While I waited and looked around I presently recognized in this watchmaker an old acquaintance —— a steamboat engineer of older days, and not a good engineer, either.

“She makes too much steam and …” he said.

I gave him a heavy blow on the head and ran away.

My uncle William used to say that a good watch was a good watch until the repairers got a chance to look at it. And he used to wonder what became of all the unsuccessful repairmen, and shoemakers, and engineers, and blacksmiths, and governors, and school-principals; but nobody could ever tell him.

【1】What did the author say about the jeweler?

A．He made a mistake.

B．He had a quick mind.

C．He had a hearing problem.

D．He was a quiet repairman.

【2】After being cleaned, oiled and regulated, how was the author’s watch?

A．It kept perfect time.

B．It gained faster and faster.

C．It was not a little slow.

D．It ran awhile and stopped awhile.

【3】Why did the author hit the watchmaker on the head?

A．He was a liar.

B．He was talking nonsense.

C．He treated the watch cruelly.

D．He was an old enemy of the author.

【4】What did the author learn from his experience?

A．Never get a watch repaired.

B．He should listen to his uncle.

C．Repair work was a complicated job.

D．Unsuccessful people exist in all walks of life.

24、No one can deny that the idea of the metaverse(元宇宙) has started to spread to the unknown lands.

The wish of metaverse as a shared universe where people from across the world can play, learn, share, and even work together is futuristic(未来派的). Busy streets filled with stores, parks, and people can all be recreated in the metaverse, but the technology is still not something that every person can easily access.

Another step toward mainstream recognition lies in the realism of the metaverse experience. The introduction of VR and AR into the metaverse will certainly go a long way in making the experience feel far more realistic than it does with a keyboard and mouse.

We’ve already seen interesting crossovers(转型) that tested the limits of the metaverse. Travis Scott held a virtual concert in an online game that was attended by over 12 million people. Even though The Sandbox, an upcoming metaverse, isn’t live yet, Snoop Dogg, a crazy supporter of metaverse, already owns his land in it and lets people buy VIP passes to visit his big house in the future.

Zuckerberg believes that the future of the internet lies in the metaverse and he even went as far as to call it the successor to mobile internet. Whether that is true still remains to be seen. However, one thing is for sure— it’s difficult to deny that the metaverse is no longer a wild idea pulled straight out of a science fiction film. Facebook/Meta has just added fuel to a fire that has already been burning, and in a few years, we may be seeing the metaverse used in ways we haven’t even thought possible before.

【1】Why is the technology hard to access?

A．Negative voice.

B．Less realistic experience.

C．Dull introduction.

D．Less practical expectation.

【2】What can we say about Snoop?

A．He goes in for buying lands.

B．He gets attached to the metaverse.

C．He attends a virtual online concert.

D．He enables people to visit his house.

【3】How does Zuckerberg like metaverse?

A．Promising.

B．Profitable.

C．Unmeasured.

D．Uncertain.

【4】What can be inferred about Facebook’s effort?

A．It comes across obstacles.

B．It aims at the film industry.

C．It promotes social progress.

D．It enjoys a high reputation.

25、   I can vividly remember the moment I realized that people were frightened of my brother.
