21、Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sadness, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process.

Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to deal with kinds of situations.

Love plays an important role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us unconditional love and care. They teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted（认为理所应当）. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others’ feelings.

Happiness achieved by bringing a smile on other’s face gives a certain level of fulfillment（成就）. Peace of mind makes you feel happy. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are sad. Sadness comes from the death of a loved one or the failure. But all of these things will pass away.

Failure is the way to success, and it helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect.

Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, and it could either be bright or dull. So what we can choose is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.

22、A few weeks ago, a friend from an unknown Smile Groups sent me $120 to do good things with. Since then I have used the money in the U.K. and U.S. It has helped families and strangers, and generally raised a lot of smiles. They have warmed my heart, but none so much as the gift I was able to give just an hour ago.

I was in a charity shop, looking at the second-hand books. It happened that the bookshelves were next to the toy shelf. I noticed a group of poorly dressed women standing behind me. As they looked through the clothes shelf, a little girl about three years old came over to the toy shelf. Immediately her attention was caught by a toy pram(手推车). She spoke to her mother and her mother asked the shop assistant how much it cost.  $3 was the answer.

The mum looked down at her child, perhaps thinking what she still had to buy and how much money she would have left. Then she shook her head. The child didn’t behave(表现)as badly as some might. Being told “no” was not new for her but she couldn’t keep the disappointment(失望)from her face.

I had a total of  $5 in my pocket. I touched the mother on the shoulder, put the money in her hand and said, “Buy her a doll too. ”

I didn’t wait to see the end. After all, it was not about being thanked. I walked out of the shop and into the sunshine.

The money the friend gave me was to help me find happiness of the world. Was there any better way, I wondered, to get so much happiness for so little money than to buy a little girl a toy pram and a doll to sit in it?

A. because she didn’t want to behave badly in public

B. because she knew her mother didn’t have enough money

C. because she was afraid her mother would be angry

D. because she had got used to being refused

24、   It’s late at night. A car stops in the middle of a forest. After dropping off their three teenagers, the parents say “good luck” and drive away. The teenagers, totally lost, have to find their way back home by themselves.

It may sound crazy to you, but this is a tradition with a long history for Dutch parents called “dropping”. Dutch people believe that children should not depend too much on their parents and should learn how to solve problems through activities like “dropping”.

However, for many other parents around the world, their top worry is their children’s safety. After all, why should they put their children at risk when there are many other ways to develop their independence?

People have many different opinions about parenting (育儿). All parents want their children to be happy, healthy and successful. In China, for example, many parents spend much money on summer vacation activities for their children. They want their children to enjoy their vacation as much as possible.

But some parents try too hard and become “helicopter ( 直 升 机 ) parents”—just the opposite of “dropping”. They worry too much about their children and pay attention to everything they do—like helicopters flying over their children. In their eyes, children need to be protected all the time.

But this might not be a good parenting style either, according to American parenting expert Kenneth Ginsburg. As Ginsburg writes, parents should keep a balance (平衡) by “making sure their children don’t crash (碰撞) against the rocks, but allowing them to ride the waves (波浪).”

【1】For Dutch people, “dropping” can help children .

A.learn how to solve problems B.find their homes in forests

C.depend on their parents D.enjoy a summer vacation

【2】Many other parents around the world worried the most about  .

A.good luck B.safety C.grades D.success

【3】Which one of the following pictures can best show “helicopter parents”?

A.A B.B C.C D.D

【4】According to Kenneth Ginsburg, parents should   .

A.find a balance between keeping safe and letting go

B.depend a lot on their children in the future

C.let their children take risks all the time

D.watch their children doing everything

25、   Mobile payment apps have made it much easier for us to pay. Some of these apps are trying to do m【1】. In the past few years, they have greatly changed the way business is done, making efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and encourage users to live a low-carbon life.

One example is Alipay(支付宝). It is one of the country’s most popular online payment platforms. With the help of modern technology, it started the Ant Forest program to help i【2】the local environment as well as provide jobs for the local people.

Users who perform low-carbon activities, such as paying bills online and taking public transport, are given “green energy” points. When users have e【4】 points, Ant Financial will plant a real tree. Ant Forest brought hope to local desert. S【5】 the start of the project, millions of trees have been planted in Inner Mongolia. (内蒙古).
