21、The biggest misconception that I've ever heard of is that in order for us to find success in anything, we must be willing to give up something else.【1】.

Over the years, I've come to realize that isn't true. As I grow, I find several things are truly stopping us from living a more fulfilling life. Below are some.

Place limitations on yourself

On the surface, limitations are the things that stop you from achieving something.【2】. You'll keep facing the same problems, forced to make the same choices, and perform the same actions repeatedly. They define your current circumstances and to that extent define your quality of life.

Lack self-control

We all have some aspect about ourselves that we don't like.【3】Maybe you have a large sweet tooth and can't help yourself from eating sweet things. When you have a lack of self-control, those habits are going to remain with you until you find some way to remove them.

【4】

Our ability to come up with creative solutions for our problems comes from our ability to learn and adapt. If you're not learning anything, you're not progressing. Leonardo da Vinci once said, "Learning never exhausts the mind." And I believe it.

Final thoughts

When you get stuck on something, you are never truly stuck【5】. You don't have to be working hard to overcome that barrier, rather change your thinking in how you're approaching the problem. Give it time and keep working at it.

A．Lack self confidence.

B．Lack learning and adaptability.

C．We shouldn't bottle up our own weaknesses.

D．Maybe you're someone who drinks a lot of alcohol or smokes.

E．It means that what you are currently doing isn't enough to get you over the barrier.

F．Whether it's career or health, one must be sacrificed in order for the other to succeed.

G．However, limitations are also the things that keep you restricted in the same life cycle.

22、One of the best ways to improve our communities is through volunteer work. According to a report from United Nations Volunteers, it is estimated that 140 million people volunteer in every nation and in a variety of settings. Forbes reports that research has shown that volunteering can greatly benefit volunteers. These benefits include an increased sense of productivity, the development of new skills, resume-building experience, improved physical health, and the emotional rewards that come with others appreciating you and your efforts. Here are some types for you to join in local communities.

Sports volunteering

You don’t need to be good at the sport in which you wish to volunteer. Some of the most important characteristics include enthusiasm and interest. Your sports organisation should put you through any qualifications that you need to carry out your role. Most people volunteer on average two or three hours a week, but there are also opportunities to volunteer more or less often.

Support the Red Cross

Red Cross is an organization that helps with disaster relief, blood donations, and more. Being a Red Cross volunteer provides experience in the medical field and allows you to help those in need. The Red Cross responds to disasters nationwide and helps communities recover. It may be difficult to see damaged communities, but you could have a part in assisting them to recover. In addition, you may meet new friends along the way.

Organize a Summer Reading Program

Summer reading programs are one way to keep children’s reading skills active and their mind fresh during the whole summer vacation. Organizing a summer reading program is an excellent way to get kids to read a book, broaden their vocabulary, and learn something new. You can share your favorite books, offer prizes to children who meet their goals, and turn the program into a friendly competition, all while teaching children the importance of reading.

【1】What requirements do you need to meet if you want to volunteer for sports?

A．Be fond of sports.

B．Follow the fixed schedule.

C．Have past the qualification tests.

D．Be good at various kinds of sports.

【2】The summer reading program can help kids to .

A．share their favorite books

B．organize book reading competitions

C．review what they have learned in school

D．enrich their reading experience in summer

【3】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To help manage the local community.

B．To introduce the communities in need.

C．To introduce different volunteer programs.

D．To show the benefits of doing volunteer work.

23、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Last Sunday I made a visit to some new neighbors down the block．No specific in mind, just an opportunity to sit at the kitchen table, have some tea and chat．As I did so, it occurred to me how rare the Sunday visit has become．

When I was a kid in New Jersey of the 1960s, Sunday visits were routine．Most stores were closed, almost nobody worked, and the highways, as a result, were not desperate steeplechases（障碍赛跑）they have become today．My family normally traveled eight city blocks to the home of my grandmother, where adults would sit on the front porch and chat while we children played hide-and-seek．

The Sunday visit was something to desire strongly．It was the repetition to church, our reward for an hour of devotion, an opportunity to take advantage of the fact that Dad was not at work, we were not in school, and there was no housework that couldn’t wait until Monday．Sunday was, indeed, different from the other days of the week, because everyone seemed to be on the same schedule, which means that there was one day when everyone seemed to have time for everybody else．

Sunday as a day of rest is, or was, so deeply rooted in the culture that it’s surprising to find that, in a short span of time, it has almost entirely lost this association．In my childhood, it was assumed that everyone would either be home or visiting someone else’s home on Sunday．But now the question is, “What do you plan to DO this Sunday?” The answer can range from going to the mall, to participating in a road race, to Montreal for lunch．If one were to respond, “I’m making a Sunday visit to family,” such an answer would feel strange, which sounds like an echo from another era．

I suppose I should be grateful to live in Maine, a state of small towns, abundant land and tight relationships．Even though folks work as hard here as they do anywhere else, the state’s powerfully rural feature still keeps at least remnants（残余部分）of the moral of yesterday’s America, where people had to depend on one another in the face of economic vagaries（反复无常的情况）and a challenging environment．

【1】The writer’s general impression of the Sunday in the past was a day when＿＿．

A．everyone was paying a visit to some relatives far away

B．everyone seemed to be free for others

C．Dad was not at work while Mom was busy cleaning the house

D．nearly every adult would go to church and children weren’t at school

【2】In the fourth paragraph, the writer compares the response “I’m making a Sunday visit to family” to an echo from another era because_____．

A．people nowadays prefer staying at home on Sunday

B．such answers are rarely heard in our modern society

C．people in the city dislike being disturbed on Sunday

D．visiting someone on Sunday was routine in the past

【3】From the last paragraph we may infer that_____．

A．people in Maine suffer more from economic depression and the changed environment

B．people in Maine have abandoned their tradition and lived an absolutely new life

C．land in Maine is short, thus the relationship between people is tense

D．people in Maine tend to help each other out of necessity

【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．Doing many activities on Sunday is beneficial．

B．We should often travel a long distance to visit some friends and relatives．

C．Nowadays, Sunday has almost lost its association as a day of rest．

D．We should abandon some old tradition．

24、I ask every student I interview for admission to my institution, Pitzer College, the same question, “What do you look forward to the most in college?” I was surprised and delighted recently when a student called David replied. “I look forward to the possibility of failure.” Of course, this is not how most students respond to the question when siting before the person who can make decisions about their academic future. “You see, my parents have never let me fail,” he said. “When I want to take a chance at something, they remind me it’s not a safe route to take. Taking a more challenging course or trying an activity I may not succeed in, they tell me, will ruin my chances at college admission.”

I wish I could tell you this is an uncommon story. Students are usually in shock when I tell them I never expect perfection. But these days finding imperfections in a college application is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Students only tell us things they believe we will find impressive. And this is supported by a secondary school culture where teachers are under pressure to give students nothing less than an A, and counselors are told not to report disciplinary infractions to colleges.

Admission officers are digging deeper to find out who students really are outside of their medals or test scores. We get most excited when we read an application that seems real. It’s so rare to hear stories of defeat and win that when we do, we cheer. If their perspectives are of lessons learned or challenges overcome, these applicants tend to jump to the top of the heap at highly selective colleges. We believe an error in high school should not define the rest of your life, but how you respond could shape you forever.

During my weekend of interviews, another student Jefferson told me, “I’m ashamed to admit I failed calculus, but I decided to take it again and got a B-plus. I will still take calculus, even though I don’t like it.” I asked him what he had learned from the experience. “I learned to let go of shame,” he said. “I realized that I can’t let a grade define my success. I also learned that if you want anything bad enough, you can achieve it.”

I smiled as I wrote his words down on the application-review form. Apparently, he has the coping skills he needs to adjust to college life. Failure is about growth, learning, overcoming and moving on. Let’s allow young people to fail. Not only will they learn something, it might even get them into college!

【1】What can we learn from David’s reply?

A．He wanted to show he had never failed before.

B．He wanted to prove he was an independent thinker.

C．He wanted to set himself apart from other applicants.

D．He wanted to try something new, even though he might fail.

【2】What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 imply?

A．Students lie about what they have achieved.

B．Students list everything in their applications.

C．Students just show their best in their applications.

D．Students show good writing skills in their applications.

【3】Which of the following applications do admission officers like best?

A．The one that shows a balance between life and study.

B．The one that proves a student focuses on test scores less.

C．The one that proves a student understands what college life is.

D．The one that shows a student has struggled and overcome a barrier.

【4】How did the author feel about Jefferson’s interview?

A．He didn’t care that Jefferson failed calculus.

B．He appreciated Jefferson’s attitude to failure.

C．He found Jefferson’s self-awareness impressive.

D．He appreciated that Jefferson was open about college life.

【5】What does the author most likely want to tell us?

A．Teachers should be responsible for helping students succeed.

B．Students would benefit from the positive attitude to failure.

C．Parents should try to keep their kids from suffering failure.

D．Experiences of enough failure could shape students’ future.
