22、Most dog owners know that feeding chocolate to their furry friend is a big no-no. Well, one animal hospital in Alabama believes that “no dog should go to heaven without tasting chocolate.”

Smiths Station Animal Hospital posted a photo to their Facebook page of a jar of Hershey Kisses with the words “Goodbye Kisses” painted on the side. There was also a note from one of the hospital’s doctors that read, “This jar is reserved for our euthanasia (安乐死) appointments...because no dog should go to heaven without tasting chocolate.”

“We try to provide as much comfort as possible during a terribly difficult and emotional time. My staff has always kept little snacks and candy bars around specifically for those appointments,” Dr. Nicole Namie, told WRBL. “Typically, these are treats that I wouldn’t recommend giving to my patients, but in their final moments, I think it’s important to offer them something special.”

“We always give them something to make them feel good and to enjoy the last few minutes,” Jennifer Williams, practice manager at Smiths Station Animal Hospital told Newsweek. She said given that the hospital is in a small community, the staff and doctors become attached to the pets and when it comes time to say goodbye it’s heartbreaking for everyone.

The response to the post has been overwhelming, she said, and the best part has been having people from around the world share their own stories. “It has really turned into a really sweet post,” Williams said. “There is no hate speech on it. Everyone is just showing compassion for each other.” The post has since been shared over 113,000 times on Facebook and made its way to TikTok and Reddit feeds too.

【1】What do the underlined words “Hershey Kisses” refer to in Paragraph 2?

23、 Success is so much more than just money or fame. 【1】 This allows you to be true to who you really are. If you want to create a life that makes you feel passionate to be alive, what do you need to focus on?

【2】 If you don’t believe in yourself, how do you expect other people to? If you don’t believe that you can have the life you desire, it is going to be very difficult to create a successful life. When you believe in yourself, it fuels your creativity, your ambitions and your motivation to do things.

Another way is to know your intention. If your intention is simply rooted in money and fame, chances are that you are never going to truly feel successful. 【3】 And it is not enough to maintain a long-term feeling of fulfillment and happiness. For a truly successful life, your intention has to be rooted in your purpose, in your passions and in what feels good to you. When your intention is to serve your purpose and express your talents, you will feel true success and satisfaction.

Realize you are already successful. 【4】 The more you can welcome that into your life, the more you will start to feel it. Being grateful for the tiniest successes in life will also help you to create more and more success. This is a powerful mindset shift. It will help you to be with your ambitions and dreams. 【5】

A.Have faith in yourself.

B.Success is always after the rain and wind.

C.Success is all around you and flows through you.

D.Once you realize this, there is no stopping what you can do.

E.Success is about being able to live a happy and satisfactory life.

F.Thanking for the biggest failure will help you achieve greater success.

G.The feeling of success that is given through money and fame is only temporary.

24、Have you heard there are animals in your head? There are four, in fact: an elephant, a guard dog, an owl and a sooty (a black-feathered bird). They constantly chat to each other. If one gets a bit over-excited, that is to say, if the guard dog senses a threat and starts barking loudly, then the rest can't communicate with each other, and thatapos’s not good news. You might start to feel stressed or anxious or sad.

What the animals represent in the brain and what those parts of the brain are responsible for are the subjects of a new podcast (播客) teaching primary school-age children about their mental health and how to look after it.

The teachers of these lessons are pretty young, too. They're sixth-graders, 12 years old. They're pupils at Woollahra Public School in Sydney, who have been working with a social company, Grow Your Mind, to create the podcast.

“I used to hear a lot that the kids need to be more adaptable,” says Nicole Molloy, the school's head teacher. “We don't say that they need to be able to do math problems; we always teach them how to complete math problems. So why shouldn't we be doing that for mental health?”

A selection of older children are “well-being leaders” for the school and meet with Molloy once a week to talk about students' well-being. That helps to keep both the older and younger children very interested in the topic.

Although there's no data yet to quantify the effect this approach has had, Molloy says there are noticeable differences. Children now use the language and concepts they've learned about their mental health in everyday conversations. Teachers said that the students appear to have done well with the stress of the pandemic, too.

Focusing on mental health doesn't harm their studies, either. In fact, Molloy argues it improves them. “Our program proves it,” she says.

【1】What do the animals in the first paragraph refer to?

A．Pupils' imaginary friends.

B．Different parts of the brain.

C．Popular animals among pupils.

D．Heated topics for children's biology classes.

【2】Who gives lessons in the podcast?

A．The company's manager.

B．The school's head teacher.

C．Older primary school students.

D．Experts from Grow Your Mind.

【3】What does Molloy expect the podcast to do?

A．Allow kids to practice public speaking.

B．Improve kids' performance on math tests.

C．Teach kids ways to deal with mental problems.

D．Provide kids with a chance to show their talents.

【4】What does Molloy say about the podcast?

A．It is desirable.

B．It is harmful.

C．It is unnoticeable.

D．It is humorous.
