21、The sun rises and sets at peak travel periods, during the early morning and afternoon rush hours and many drivers find themselves temporarily blinded while driving directly into the glare of the sun, which accounts for countless accidents every year.

Protecting your eyes is serious business. However, with all the fancy fashion frames out there it can be easy to ignore what really matters—the lenses (镜片). So we did our research and looked to the very best in optic (光学的) technology. Now NASA's Jet Protection Laboratory has brought forward ground-breaking technology to help protect human eyesight from the harmful effects of solar radiation light. This superior lens technology was first discovered when NASA scientists look to nature for a means to superior eye protection—specially, by studying the eyes of eagles, known for their extreme sharp visual ability. This discovery resulted in what is now known as Eagle Eyes.

Eagle Eyes features the most advanced eye protection technology ever created. The TriLenium Lens Technology can block 99.99% UVA and UVB-plus the added benefit of blue-light eye protection. Eagle Eyes is the only optic technology that has earned official recognition for the Space Certification Program for this remarkable technology.

22、If our kids don’t fall down, they don’t learn to get up. I still remember the day in high school when my mom forgot to pick me up from school. I’m the oldest of the four children. No doubt she’d had a long day with the other kids and it’d slipped her mind. After waiting at school for an hour, I walked the three miles home, and when I got to my house, I shut our front door with anger, stormed into the kitchen and screamed to my mom’s face that she’d forgotten me.

Later that night, my dad told me I no longer had a ride to school the next day. I figured my mom would still take me, but when the morning came she refused. It was midterm, and as a straight-A student ready to start college applications, being late wasn’t an option. In my mind, missing these tests would have been the end of my academic career. I begged my mom. I told her she was ruining my future and everything I’d worked for. But she held her ground, and that day I walked to school. And I missed my tests.

My mom didn’t rescue me from failure. She let me suffer from it. She let me figure it out. She let me learn. Now, as a mom myself, I’ve realized that I want my kids to experience failure because failure is how we grow, learn and think. It’s how we educate ourselves to learn what’s right and respectable, and what’s not. It’s how we become responsible and enthusiastic. Falling down makes us better because we learn how to get up.

【1】Why did the author get angry that day?

A．She was tired.

B．She failed in a test.

C．She was late for school.

D．She was forgotten by her mom.

【2】How does the author feel about the experience according to the passage?

A．Terrible.

B．Meaningful.

C．Colorful.

D．Embarrassing.

【3】What does the underlined phrase “held her ground” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Gave in to me.

B．Said yes to me.

C．Kept to her idea.

D．Stayed in the place.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A．My Way of Growing.

B．The Value of Failure.

C．My Love for Mother.

D．Failure in My Life.

23、On an ordinary weekday evening, Jane was at home as usual. She was considering what she was going to do with her dinner plans for the evening when unexpectedly she received an urgent (紧急) call from her sister, “get over here!”

A few hours later, Jane found herself with 8 strangers in the middle of the boiling desert heat of Utah, picking up rubbish and raising awareness about zero waste and climate change.

Armed with a deep love of the environment and a desire to make a difference, Jane, Davey, and a group of self-described “environmental pick-up artists” went on a road-side rubbish pick-up. As they walked, sometimes only covering 0.9 miles in an entire day, they slowly and steadily made their way across the United States, picking up a total of 201,678 pounds of rubbish. In the end, three years and 3,672 miles later, they dipped their feet in the cold waters of the Pacific.

The road is winding, often up-hill. “With a rubbish bag as your companion, how do you remind yourselves that picking up that tiny gum wrapper on the ground makes a difference? Where do you find the strength to keep going?” As I asked Jane and Davey to answer these questions, they shared remarkable stories of caring environment that gave their efforts to continue their journey.

A small group of us were lucky enough to spend two hours last Wednesday evening listening to the remarkable stories of Jane and Davey. As they shared their deep concern for the environment, we together experienced their real spirit. Jane and Davey, like so many ordinary unknown heroes in our community, might not ever draw much attention like multi-million-dollar-funded projects. In many ways, it is exactly what makes their story so attractive.

【1】Why did Jane’s sister call her out?

A．To ask her to prepare dinner for them.

B．To beg her to help them out of trouble.

C．To ask her to join them in their activity.

D．To ask for advice on picking up rubbish.

【2】How did the group travel across the United States to gather rubbish?

A．By bus.

B．On foot.

C．By ship.

D．By bike.

【3】What gave them the courage to go on their journey?

A．Good teamwork spirit.

B．Great interest in traveling.

C．Great love of natural beauty.

D．Deep concern for the environment.

【4】Which of the following can best describe Jane and her teammates?

A．Ordinary people have done extraordinary things.

B．Their effort will stop nature from being polluted.

C．Their action is wiser than environmental projects.

D．They are famous heroes of environmental protection.

24、For many of us, work diaries are practical things. We use them to make notes of appointments or meetings, writing words next to dates to remind us of what we need to do later. But journaling is also about feelings. It’s a personal diary, often kept far from prying eyes, sometimes containing our secrets and desires.【1】

It can be difficult to say exactly what we’re feeling due to anxiety or frustration. For some of us, putting pen to paper and taking down our thoughts is much easier than saying them. 【2】It can also be relieving to make sense of something which is stressing us out, annoying us or getting us down.

Writing about what is on our minds can help us to be more mindful. It is also good for mental health overall.【3】Maybe our thoughts could be best represented by a drawing.

Another thing to consider is that our memories fade over time. 【4】Logging what’s happening in our lives currently could help bring back memories when we read our diary entries again years from now, or could act as an insight into our past-selves. We can see our progress, or be reminded of exciting times in our lives. The person who was once annoying may have become a close friend, or something that was once scary may now seem funny.

【5】 If something exciting happens, writing about it may help us to remember that wonderful time!

A．And journaling isn’t just limited to words.

B．Journaling is not a record of only happy moments.

C．But what are the benefits of writing down our feelings?

D．It’s about allowing ourselves to learn from our mistakes.

E．So, when something is on our minds, we should put it down on paper.

F．What is clear on our minds today may be forgotten a few years down the line.

G．Not just that, but writing things down can help us understand our ideas, emotions and feelings.
