21、   When the economy is bad. I stop and remember a story about my great-grandmother.

In 1992, Dad graduated from high school. The depression was at its darkest stage and the family had just lost their farm. Without money, any dreams of going to college seemed hopeless.

But a recruiter from an excellent college called Carleton, 230 miles away in Minnesota, came to his town looking for potential students. Dad had been an outstanding athlete and was a straight-A student all through high school, excelling in math and science. The recruiter was impressed and Dad won a scholarship to attend Carleton. But there were obstacles, no transportation, and not a penny for food. He didn’t want to miss out on this opportunity of a lifetime, but there were no jobs to earn money. Discouraged, he feared he might not be able to go to Carleton.

It was then that my great-grandma took control. She said. “You have to stop thinking so negatively. It’s not what you don’t have; it’s what you do have. And what you have is a scholarship, the ability to work hard.”

And then she looked her wrinkled hands that had labored for 83 years, and dug into the folds of her long skirt, withdrawing from her pucker a five-dollar bill. She rocked the bill into Dad’s shirt packet. “You take this five dollars. It’s all I have. But with this, and faith in the Almighty, all your needs will be provided for. I’m sure of it.”

With nothing but the clothes on his back and a five-dollar bill in his pocket. Dad set out on the road to his future, leaving his childhood home behind him forever. He hitchhiked 230 miles. Throughout his four years at Carleton, he worked as a dishwasher in a restaurant and eventually married the owner’s daughter, my mother.

Great-grandma died at the age of 90. Her faith never changed. During tough times, I will always remember that nothing is difficult for those who don’t give up.

【1】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT right?

A.The economy of the family was badly off then.

B.Dad could go to college with the assistance of the college.

C.Dad didn’t have enough money to buy food.

D.The night was the darkest after Dad’s graduation.

【2】What the writer’s great-grandma’s words meant is that ________.

A.he laughs best who laughs last B.God helps those who help themselves

C.all roads lead to Rome D.actions speak louder than words

【3】Faced with tough times, the author will ________.

A.work harder as a dishwasher in a restaurant

B.wait until others give him a hand

C.use the money to buy what he needs

D.fulfill his task and keep moving forward

23、After spending years competing as a marathon mountain runner and cross-country skier, Gudrun Pflueger devoted herself to tracking wolves as a field biologist in Canada’s backcountry.

And her research and encounters with the Canadian coastal wolves led to the 2010 Smithsonian Channel documentary (纪录片) A Woman Among Wolves.

Less than a month after filming along British Columbia's islands, Pflueger, then 33, was diagnosed with a brain tumor (瘤) and told she might have only 18 months to live.

Surgeons removed a golf ball-size tumor, and Pflueger, now promoting her Smithsonian Channel follow-up, Running With Wolves, credits wolves with helping inspire her recovery.

“I really believe the encounter with the wolves in the wilderness was a powerful medicine. They gave me strength,” says Pflueger, now 37, whose life-threatening encounter with a coastal wolf pack was highlighted in the earlier film.

“Most people see them as bad, as killing machines. But they are part of nature. They have some of the same characteristics as we do—determination, courage, a strong will to live.

Running With Wolves was filmed over parts of 2011-2012, while Pflueger was regaining her physical strength. It tracks her inspirational but hard return to Canada's coast.

“It’s rare for filmmakers to go back, but people can relate to this story on all sorts of levels,” says Smithsonian Channel’s chief programmer, David Royle. “Gudrun was a world-class athlete who is fun and energetic. She’s enthusiastic about a species that's been misrepresented. And you come away feeling inspired by her courage and bravery recovering from cancer.”

“We want to draw attention to women scientists. They’re underrepresented at the top level,” he says. “We also wanted to challenge stereotypes (成见) that women scientists are unimportant.”

【1】In A Woman Among Wolves, Pflueger is shown as a person who ______.

A．fights against dangerous wolves in the wild

B．recovers from cancer by living among wolves

C．is a marathon runner and cross-country skier

D．studies the behavior of wolves in the wild

【2】What was Pflueger’s main purpose in returning to Canada’s coast?

A．To help to film the documentary.

B．To compete as a marathon runner.

C．To protect the wolves from being hunted.

D．To beat cancer by finding inspiration among wolves.

【3】The underlined sentence in Paragraph 8 indicates that the filmmakers ______.

A．seldom go back when making a film

B．had great trouble filming the documentary

C．filmed another documentary about Pflueger

D．have no plan to film another documentary

【4】What does David Royle really mean by what he says in the last paragraph?

A．Pflueger is brave.

B．Pflueger is energetic.

C．Pflueger is outstanding.

D．Pflueger is enthusiastic.

24、Have you ever had someone tell you "If you eat before bed, you are more likely to get fat!"? 【1】This belief originated when researchers found the relation between individuals snacking late at night and having a BMI that categorizes them as obese(肥胖的）。

Is eating late at night, especially after 8 pm, really going to make you gain weight? One theory is that your metabolism(新陈代谢） slows down when you are asleep.【2】 Thus the calories you eat right before bed would not be burned off as much as they would be while you're awake. Although the science seems pretty sound, recent studies have shown that metabolism changes very little, if at all, while you are asleep. 【3】 The heart is still beating, lungs are still working, and the brain is still very active. All of these actions take energy, meaning while we are asleep, we are still burning calories.

【4】As we know, one physiological effect of insulin(胰岛素）is storing fat. Food being consumed late at night will more likely be stored away due to the higher levels of insulin present in the blood system. However, insulin levels at night are shown to be no different than insulin levels during mid-day. If it is true that eating with high insulin levels causes you to gain weight, anyone eating anytime after the morning will become fat.

So how come individuals have higher BMI s when they snack at night? It is simply a result of eating too many calories. Snacks that individuals tend to eat during the night are usually high in sugar and calories, such as ice cream, candy, potato chips and soft drinks. Put simply, if you eat more calories than you burn,regardless of the time of the day, you will gain weight. 【5】

A．With a slow metabolism, few calories are being burned.

B．While asleep, your body still functions in many ways.

C．All living matter undergoes a process of metabolism.

D．The time these snacks are consumed does not matter.

E．Without ever questioning it, people quickly assume this to be true.

F．Besides, insulin levels are dramatically lower in the morning than at night.

G．Another theory is that late-night snacking leads to rising insulin levels.

25、   When faced with tough difficulties or troubles, people always give us positive words. ______ can lift our spirits indeed, but sometimes in some case it ______ depresses us. Psychology calls it “toxic positivity.” What is it? Let’s see the following ______.

Between sleepless nights, diapers (换尿布) and feeding times, having small children at home could leave Priscilla Goins feeling ______. She loved her kids, but it was a lot. “I would sometimes say ‘I just want a minute to myself,’” Goins, of Knoxville, Tennessee, said. “People would be like: Oh, you’ll miss it when they’re ______ or you should value it.” That made her so mad. She doesn’t ______ what people say. She disagreed at all. Actually, in those moments, she simply wanted ______ that she was going through the tiredness ______.

A focus on positive thinking, while putting challenging and ______ experiences to the side, is what some experts call “toxic positivity.” Being cheerful is not a bad thing. Certainly, a ______ attitude can be a gift to those around you, but it shouldn’t ______ listening thoughtfully to others’ experiences. When you are choosing to look at ______ from one angle-in this case a positive angle-you are very likely to dismiss or deny an authentic ______. That’s toxic positivity, which is what Goins ______ when she was looking for a bit of mercy about the ______ of parenting young children. Even if you’re trying to ______ someone, ignoring someone’s tough experiences can leave them feeling that they should ______ negative feelings in the future. ______ trying to find a positive spin, we are supposed to use accepting and comprehensive words. Sometimes we just need to say “Yeah, me too,” or “That makes total sense.” It’s allowing someone to express something that is ______, even if it’s hard to hear or it’s ______.
