21、One good way of making sure that you take the time you need for things you want to do in life is to create a "bucket list (愿望清单)"。In other words, you can write down things you hope to do before a certain time — for example, before you enter your next decade of life, or before the summer ends. 【1】
It helps you get in touch with your values. 【2】 When you start thinking about what you really want to do, you can know what you'd like to do. Thus. you'll remember what you value the most.
【3】 Simply creating the list can be fun. Sharing your list with others, visiting your list and checking off your experiences as you collect them can all be ways to enjoy life more, and share the fun.
It helps remember goals. When you feel you have much time ahead of you-a new summer, a new year-you may think about what you'd like to do with it. You may focus more on your day-to-day goals and less on your goals for fun or on your long-term goals. 【4】
It keeps a record of important experiences. 【5】 But you'll likely complete some, and get more out of your life than if you hadn't created the list. These are the experiences you may remember the most in life, which may change who you are in a positive way.
A.It makes you become creative.
B.It can increase your life satisfaction.
C.Such a list can benefit you in several ways.
D.A bucket list can help you keep track of them.
E.You may not complete every item on your list.
F.After making the list, you'll know what matters to you.
G.Creating a bucket list can also reduce stress in your life.
22、It was my first day of sixth grade. I looked at my schedule and saw that I had Mrs.Foxwell and this made me happy. Over the next three years, Mrs.Foxwell taught me many important things that I will never forget.
Of all of the teachers and coaches I have had in my life, Mrs.Foxwell has been my favorite leader. In her class, she taught me how to be a successful leader. She also taught me that good leaders earn everyone’s respect.
Mrs.Foxwell is one of the most respected and respectful people I know. She is always kind to everyone and she treats others the way that she wants to be treated. She taught me respect in many different ways, but mainly how to be respectful in the business world. She told me that I needed to have a firm handshake and that I should always look people in the eye when I talk to them. Mrs.Foxwell also taught me that you could earn someone’s respect by working hard to achieve your goals.
In addition to working at Brandywine Springs, Mrs.Foxwell once worked at a bank as a manager but she gave that up to teach kids how to be successful. Mrs.Foxwell told our class how she would cry because of the amount of work she had to do in very little time. She taught our class that working all night at something you don’t love is very stressful, so you should try and do something you love. In the end, she taught me that you have to keep your head high and pull through. I don’t think I have ever worked as hard in any class as I did in her class. We created our own 28-page business plan to share with her, our parents, other teachers and our classmates. Although creating a business from nothing was a lot of hard work, I really enjoyed it and learned several lessons that will help me throughout life.
I have had a lot of role models in my life, but one of the biggest is Eva Foxwell. She taught me leadership qualities, how to be respectful and why you should work hard. She changed my life for the better and I desire to be like her.

23、No one can be free from the sickening stress and anxiety from time to time. Not even that happy-go-lucky guy you see walking down the street whistling “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life”, since they are a part of the life. 【1】. Listed here are proven ways to control stress and anxiety.
Breathe
Taking a long and deep breath to calm yourself in stressful situations isn’t just one of those old wives’ tales. 【2】. Doctors say that slow, deep breathing can effectively cool down the angry blood that’s running around your body, allowing your brain and body to return to their normal functions.
Walk
Many hearsay techniques for dealing with stress often raise a few eyebrows. But a whole host of scientific evidence exists to suggest that walking is one of the best methods available. If you’re ever feeling the tension building up in your brain and body, drop everything and simply go for a walk. 【3】. Such a nice walk provides your body with an ideal outlet for the build-up of energy that stress can create.
Laugh
【4】. But if you are able to squeeze out even the smallest laugh during your day, you’ll soon begin to find that the effects of stress slowly slip away. When you laugh, the body releases happy hormones that ease tension brought on by stress.
Friends
Surrounding yourself with the people you love can be half the battle to defeating stress. When you are stressed, even sitting at home with a cup of tea with a friend can really help to relieve high levels of stress as it focuses your mind onto something you love.

24、The Importance of a Morning Routine
As a child I was a well-known night owl(猫头鹰). 【1】 And I would also be in a bad mood throughout the day. It took me around three decades to appreciate the quiet hours of the morning to set the tone for the rest of the day. I have been experiencing a regimen(养生法), called dinacharya, which is a healing daily routine that balances the body and the mind. 【2】 It’s a good idea to wake up a little earlier to fit dinacharya into your schedule. Once you have established a routine, you will wake up naturally without struggling.
Hydrate(补水)when you wake up. Staying hydrated has many benefits right from boosting your mood to improved cognitive performance. 【3】 Lemon helps to kickstart digestion in the morning.
Give your mouth a good brush. Brush your teeth with an eco-friendly toothbrush, one of the heroes of your zero-waste bathroom. And instead of using single-use toothpaste, a great switch is toothpaste tablets. 【4】
I find the morning hours perfect for meditation(沉思)and give my body a good stretch before getting ready for the day. Meditating for a quarter-hour in the morning helps me gather my thoughts. Create a peaceful place by picking a sustainable meditation cushion(垫子)and warm up with some slow stretches on an eco-friendly yoga mat so that you’re charged for the day.

26、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
The excitement about Thanksgiving was really building. Grandma arrived with a homemade pecan pie. Dad was searching for his electric carving knife. Mama was in the kitchen humming a song. Little baby Lonnie bounced up and down. Dad smelled the air and sighed. My big brother, Slim, who was anything but slim, sneaked off to his room with a slice of the pecan pie. Even our dog Fido was wagging his tail.
Having set a pretty table, Mama looked up, smiling. “Help me carry in the food,” she said. Slim, who had come out of his room by this time, went racing into the kitchen. " I'll get it! I'll get it!” The rest of us piled in behind him, everyone grabbing a dish. Then we watched Dad carry in the biggest, brownest, best-smelling turkey we had ever seen with Mama's hand under the plate, just in case. Together they lowered the turkey to its place at the table.
It was the tradition in our family to think of something for which we were most thankful. We all ran to the table yelling something like “I'm thankful for school being out” or “I'm thankful for pecan pie!” All eyes were on that enormous turkey as we took our seats.
Yes, everything was perfect except for one thing. On that special day, it was Dad who sat at the head of the table and carved the turkey. It was an honor that he had eagerly expected for days. Mama always called Dad a clumsy ox. He frequently tripped (绊倒) over his own two feet, and he could drop just about anything.
We automatically eased back when Dad tested the electric carving knife in the air. Dad went to work on the white meat first with surprisingly few problems. Slice after slice landed neatly on the plate with thick gravy (肉汁)。Dad leaned forward and grabbed the end of the left turkey leg and cut it off, placing it whole on the plate. His oily fingers shone brightly in the light of the chandelier (大吊灯),and Mama waved her napkin. “I'm all right, Mama,” he said. “I'm all right. ”
