21、It is very important to have a law to base your life on. As for me, the law of life is that success is a journey, not a destination. It means that the most important is not where you are in the end, but what you have accomplished while you are trying along the way.
One person who shares my law of life is Mark McGwire, a US baseball player. He once played for St. Louis Cardinals. He wasn’t caught up in the home-run competition in the 1998 season, but he tried his best to play every game. And, most of the time, he helped his teammates instead of promoting (提升) personal performance, because he wanted to make it a good season for the whole team.
I also think the Cardinals as a whole is following my law of life. They play every game with their full potential (潜力) instead of letting a few winning games go to their heads. They stay focused on the games in the World Series. Even if they lose some games, they never give up.
It doesn’t matter whether you have the ability to be on the top in the end or win the championship. All that matters is that you work hard the whole time. There are a few people in the world who have already understood that success is a journey, not a destination. But wouldn’t it be a much better world if everyone did? After all, it’s not about who wins or loses, but about how well you play the game. I hope I can apply this to my own life.
【1】According to the passage, the writer thinks that _______.
A.it’s important to win in the end
B.it’s important to try your best on the journey to success

A.everyone believes in his law of life
B.sports players know how to win

23、 Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.
For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents' home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(限制) and have strong opinions about everything.
Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.
But then Banner, our lamb was born.He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise.I had two choices:leave Banner with my husband,or take him with me.My husband made the decision for me.
That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They'd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.
We explored side roads, catching grasshopper in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car window, at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons(见识).
We eventually arrived at my parents' doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.
I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique.
On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.
Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey-and the best part of yourself.

A.Freeways are where beauty hides.
B.Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life.
C.Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one's health.
D.One should follow side roads to watch wild animals.
【4】Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home?

B.To order some food for them.
C.To play a game with them.
D.To let them cool down.
