21、Most people can admit that they’ve found themselves at one point or another feeling like they are not themselves. They may feel trapped in a cycle that they don’t like. 【1】

Getting stuck in a rut (刻板乏味的生活) means you’re not sure how to go forward or backward. If you think this sounds like you, then you’re not alone. The great news is that you can turn things around and get yourself back up in no time. Take a look at the following tips.

Make a Change

The first step to getting out of the situation is to identify what it is about the circumstances that are getting you down. 【2】. In that case, you should move somewhere else. In other cases, you may hate your job. Rather than simply accepting it as your fate, start looking for new jobs. The idea is to start taking action instead of just being a spectator of your life.

Accept Things as They Are

Once you start taking action to change the situation, then it becomes much easier to accept things as they are. Acceptance doesn’t mean you accept that things never change. 【3】. Stop allowing yourself to live in denial (拒不承认). Things will be much easier to improve if you acknowledge things as they truly are. You’re in a rut, and that’s perfectly okay!

Treat Your Body Well

All too often, people don’t realize the connection between mind and body. If you’re feeling less than being stellar (精彩的；杰出的) in your mind, then it may have something to do with how you’re treating your body. 【4】. You may achieve it by doing things like eating well or engaging in more exercise. Treat your body well, and your mind will follow.

【5】

Don’t forget the importance of allowing yourself some breathing room and a break once in a while. Practice self-care by doing things like spending time with friends or getting your hair done. The idea is refreshing yourself so that you don’t burn out. Pushing yourself too hard will only worsen your rut. Recharge your battery by remembering to refresh yourself.

A．Practice Self-Care

B．Push Yourself Hard

C．Perhaps it’s where you live

D．Most people refer to this as a rut

E．Your body may tell you what to do

F．It means that you aren’t fighting reality

G．Consider making changes in your lifestyle

23、At Phoenix Bikes, a non-profit bicycle shop and educational center, students are learning their ABCs. That stands for the air, brakes, and chain of basic bike mechanics. Phoenix Bikes sells bikes to the public at their business in Arlington, Virginia. But it also teaches teenagers how to repair bikes.

Most students at Phoenix start in its after-school “earn-a-bike program”, at middle and high schools in and around Arlington County. Once a week over a 12-week period, students learn repair skills. The first lesson is to strip the bike. By doing this, they learn all the parts of a bike.

In the first weeks, they work in small groups to repair a bike donated to the shop. The bikes often have missing or damaged parts. The finished bike is then given to a person in need from the community. Phoenix Bikes director Emily Gage said the shop partners with several local organizations to donate the bikes. Some bikes have been going to the poor in the area. In the last four weeks of the program, students come to the shop to work on one of the donated bikes which they can then take home at no cost.

Some students who finish the 12-week program go on to a higher-level bike mechanics class. Some race bikes for the shop’s racing team. And others stay to volunteer at the store and fix more bikes to give away. Jimenez-Galindo said he hopes to return to the shop to fix bikes for the community and continue to learn. What is his favorite part of the experience? Just the joy, the satisfaction that I get after it’s done. That now it’s fully complete, and it’s actually a bike instead of what was a husk (空架) of one."

26、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。

“What will we be singing for the contest this year?” a student from my high school choir asked eagerly.

I panicked this moment. “I was thinking,” I said, “maybe we’ ll skip the contest and just work hard on the concerts this year.”

“NO!” the kids protested.

“We’ve got to go to the contest!”

“"In Class A.”

“It’s a tradition!”

This was true. Medals lined the front wall of the music room from the past successes of large, talented classes. But my section leaders had graduated or been forced to drop music classes, leaving me with young, inexperienced kids who couldn’t read music, couldn’t hold their parts, and could sing only some simple songs.

“Maybe we could enter Class B this year,” I suggested, knowing even that would be a near-impossible mission. “No!” the kids screamed. “Class A!”

I shook my head. “Class A is extremely difficult.”

“We can do it!” they shouted, “We can do it!”

“I’ll have to think about it,” I said, hoping their enthusiasm would die off in a couple of weeks.

But that didn’t happen. Every day they begged, they pleaded, they insisted. Because I had to protect their self-esteem. I couldn’t tell them they weren’t good enough.

I struggled to make a decision. If I crushed their hope, would I crush their spirit? On the other hand, if we entered Class A, would they be hurt by the judges’ comments? Finally, one morning I stormed into class and declared we would sing for the contest and entered Class A.

Each morning they vocalized, learned musical terms, practiced signature changes, rehearsed concert music, and went over and over the songs. Their progress was so remarkable even I began believing in their dream.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Seven months into the school year, when the contest day finally arrived, the kids felt ready to take on the world!
