22、My name is Alice. Early last year, I was troubled by an anxiety that crippled ( 削弱 ) my ability to do anything. I felt like a storm cloud hung over me. For almost a year I struggled on, constantly staring at this wall that faced me. My perfectionist tendencies were the main root of this: I wanted to be perfect at whatever I did, which obviously in life is not possible, but it consumed me.

One day, I attended a presentation by wildlife conservationist Grant Brown at my high school. His presentation not only awed and inspired me, but also helped emerge an inner desire to make a difference in the world. I joined a pre-presentation dinner with him and that smaller setting allowed me to slowly build up my courage to speak one-on-one with him—an idea that had seemed completely impossible. This first contact was where my story began.

A month later, Brown invited me to attend the World Youth Wildlife Conference. Looking back, I now see that this would be the first in a series of timely opportunities that my old self would have let pass, but that this new and more confident Alice enthusiastically seized. Shortly after I received his invitation, applications to join the Youth for Nature and the Youth for Planet groups were sent around through my high school. I decided to commit to completing the applications, and soon I was a part of a growing global team of young people working to protect nature. Each of these new steps continued to grow my confidence.

I am writing this just six months since my journey began and I’ve realised that my biggest obstacle ( 障碍 ) this whole time was myself. It was that voice in the back of my head telling me that one phrase that has stopped so many people from reaching their potential: I can’t. They say good things come to those who wait; I say: grab every opportunity with everything you have and be impatient. After all, nature does not require our patience, but our action.

【1】What was the main cause for Alice’s anxiety?

A．Her inability to act her age.

B．Her habit of consumption.

C．Her desire to be perfect.

D．Her lack of inspiration.

【2】How did Grant Brown’s presentation influence Alice?

A．She decided to do something for nature.

B．She tasted the sweetness of friendship.

C．She learned about the harm of desire.

D．She built up her courage to speak up.

【3】The activities Alice joined in helped her to become more ________.

A．intelligent

B．confident

C．innovative

D．critical

【4】What can we learn from this passage?

A．Practice makes perfect.

B．Patience is a cure of anxiety.

C．Action is worry’s worst enemy.

D．Everything comes to those who wait.

23、 Bored? Don’t know what to do with your time? Get your friends or family together, go to the park or go hiking, do something fun---just don’t turn on your TV.

  The 10th annual TV-Turnoff Week starts on Monday. The TV-Turnoff Network, a nonprofit organization, began the program in 1994 to get children and adults to watch less television so that their time is spent doing more productive things. This year, millions of people will participate and find much more interesting things to do besides sitting in front of the television.

  Experts are convinced that watching too much TV keeps kids from participating in healthy physical activities. The average household has a television on for 7 hours and 40 minutes a day! Kids spend more time watching TV than they spend in school. Turning off the TV gives you a chance to be with your family and friends. Going without it frees up valuable time that could be spent reading a good book, writing, drawing, or discovering something else that may interest you.

  There are many organizations that support TV-Turnoff week, including The Boys and Girls Clubs of America, YMCA, Girl Scouts USA, and Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America. Even First Lady Laura Bush is a supporter. “Television is no substitute for a parent. It doesn’t help develop language skills; it’s simply background noise,” said Mrs. Bush.

  Even kids who may not have liked going without TV have discovered the benefits. “I really didn’t like TV-Turnoff Week except I did notice that my grades went up and I was in a good mood all week,” said Drew Henderson, a student in Donora, Pennsylvania.

【1】The TV-Turnoff Network started TV-Turnoff Week to ___________.

A. to get people to spend more time doing more productive things

B. to keep kids from participating in healthy physical activities

C. to advise people not to buy television sets

D. to persuade more people to join the organization

【2】Which is not the advantage of turning off the TV?

A. Giving you a chance to be with your family and friends.

B. Spending more time reading books.

C. Developing language skills.

D. Participating in healthy physical activities.

【3】Drew Henderson’s words in the last paragraph imply that _____________.

A. he doesn’t like TV-Turnoff Week

B. he doesn’t support TV-Turnoff Week at all

C. it’s unnecessary to have TV-Turnoff Week

D. he doesn’t support TV-Turnoff Week until he finds it does good to his study

24、If you’ve found yourself stuck in reading burnout lately, you are not alone. Thankfully, a short reading book may be a good solution to this. Here are four books under 250 pages that are certainly worth your attention.

Assembly by Natasha Brown

With her unique narrative voice, Brown covers everything from the workplace to the British colonialism. In just the 100-page fiction, Brown manages to cover more fertile ground than many of the celebrated books six times its size.

Intimations by Zadie Smith

There are few writers who could excite us with the concept of an essay collection focusing on the experience of living in the disease lockdown, but an exception must always be made for Smith. Written before 2020 was even half-way through. Intimations is a window into the authors’ reflection on the special time we have lived through.

We Live in Water by Jess Walter

It is the first collection of short fiction from the bestselling author.

As for Walter’s nonfiction, you will fall in love with it again each time you read one of his novels.

The Poetry Pharmacy by William Sieghart
