21、For a long time, sports have been viewed as a way to stay healthy and in shape, but their importance goes much further.
From a social standpoint, sports are a powerful tool that brings people together and creates a sense of community. 【1】 As an international student, playing pick-up basketball at the gym was the fastest and easiest way to make friends.
As a student, I had very challenging classes and occasionally had to deal with bad homework or midterm grades. I learned that I am not always going to get the results that I want, but no matter what, I have to persevere and not give up. 【2】
In addition to that, exercising is a great way to get out of the stressful college life that is all about homework, presentations, and group projects. 【3】 I personally think that I would go crazy without going to the gym at least three times a week.
The reason most students do not play sports is because they feel lazy about it and don't have the energy for it. 【4】 As a matter of fact, exercise pumps more oxygen through your blood and makes your entire system more active.
【5】 Besides just being fun, sports can help you perform better in school, relax more and worry less, deal with setbacks, work better with others and increase your energy.
A.To sum up, playing college sports has some serious benefits.
B.In short, playing sports can help students become more energetic.
C.They helped me get on very well with my teachers and classmates.
D.In fact, playing sports helps students relax and reduce their anxiety.
E.Sports gave me a positive attitude where I see falling as a way to learn.
F.They develop connections that bond together people from all walks of life.
G.However, the belief that the intense exercise will leave you exhausted is wrong.

23、Canada is a highly developed capitalist country. It is one of the major tourism players all over the world because of its unique glamour. Over the years, arts and culture has lived and breathed in every corner of Canada. You can have a really good experience when you go on a trip in Canada. Do you know why it is so obvious that Canada improves and develops in art, culture, sport and so on? Due to a racial and immigrant population, the variety and richness of art and sports is very evident.
Since World War I, Canada has produced an impressive amount of writing. From novel to poetry, the selection is wide. Native writers are also becoming better known across Canada in recent years.
Musicians are reaching a higher level of recognition in the world music scene. Everything from country to pop, classical to heavy rock can be found across Canada and across the globe performed by Canadian artists.
Canadian photography as well as painting by Canadians is not well-known outside of Canada but recognition is increasing.
The National Film Board, a film crew in Canada, is the primary producer of movies in Canada. However, many Hollywood studios are turning to Canada as a source for locations and as an alternative (选择) to the more expensive US. Many well-known actors, directors, screen writers and movies come from Canada and often scoop international awards for their work.
French art was the first to appear in Canada along the St Lawrence in and around Quebec. Since then the amount of art and artists has increased.

24、It should be one of the main goals in today’s society to reduce plastic consumption. Though many believe recycling will solve the problem, and continue using plastic, it’s actually the opposite. In 2013, 254 million tonnes of trash was produced in the U.S. alone, and only around 30% was recycled. This means the rest ended up in a landfill and will stay there for up to 1000 years.
Now Asian countries, including Vietnam and Thailand, are looking for new ideas to avoid plastic. One of those ideas was a new, eco-friendly way to pack their goods by avoiding plastic packaging. One of Perfect Homes Chiangmai’s team members noticed a creative way to reduce plastic that a supermarket called Rimping Supermarket was using. Little did he know that people all around the world would absolutely love this idea. “I just entered to get a few items while we were waiting to sign some contracts with our lawyer, who was delayed. When I noticed the vegetables wrapped in banana leaves and simply liked the idea. So I took a few pictures and posted them online,” he said.
With more than 3.5 million views and over 17 thousand shares, the idea became something people can encourage more supermarkets to implement (实施).
Some have noticed that not everything on the shelves is completely plastic-free to which the supermarket responded that they are taking one step at a time, but it’s not that easy. Many products come to the supermarkets pre-packaged and many companies are interested in wrapping their produce in plastic since it is the cheapest and the easiest option.
It’s now up to the shoppers to show the supermarket which they prefer. If everyone opts for the banana leaf packaging, they will probably stop stocking the items in plastic.
【1】What can we infer about recycling from Paragraph 1?
A.The author thinks highly of recycling.
B.The US did a great job in recycling in 2013.

【2】Why did the man go to Rimping Supermarket?
A.To buy some items.
B.To look for new ideas there.
C.To take photos of their shelves.
D.To sign a contract with a lawyer.
【3】What does the underlined phrase “opts for” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Doubts.
B.Increases.
C.Dislikes
D.Chooses.
【4】What is the best title of the text?
A.Leaf Packaging Spreads Rapidly
B.Reducing Plastic Consumption
C.Recycling Avoids Plastic Packaging
D.A Good Option Makes A Difference
