21、It’s nice to feel like a hero or to be the centre of attention every once in a while. Walking barefoot down the worm road, cheered on by the villagers of Bradstone, one would have thought that I should feel full of pride and joy. Those feelings might have been nice, except for this one tiny fact: I had no idea where I was heading, even when I heard my name being shouted out upon entering the village.

Earlier, after painfully recovering consciousness beside the road, the only important things I could remember were my name, Jonathan Grey, and a horribly uncomfortable feeling that I had forgotten something which could result in life or death. So I had followed the road. Shortly I noticed that I had somehow also lost track of my shoes.

I had ended up in Bradstone. Many villagers hurried over and screamed my name. One older woman particularly threw her arms around my waist. “ You made it! I knew you were special,” she cried, “My baby is finally home! ” At a loss for words, with no idea what to do, the best I could offer the crying woman was to put my arms around her, too. When she settled down, she pulled back to look at me properly. “How are you? Really? Oh, you will have to report to Mr. Fredrick first… ”

I was not sure how to answer the woman’s — my mother’s? — questions, so I decided to be honest. “I’m sorry, but I’m not sure who Mr. Freddrick is, or what I must report to him. ”

My mother took a deep breath, then took my hand to lead me into the house. “ Your father will be home soon, so get settled in. I’ll be outside if you need me. ” Taking one last look around, my mother let out a sigh. For the time being, home this would have to be. Breathing deeply, I gathered my courage and mentally prepared myself for what was now my new life.

22、The rest of your daily routine is probably something like mine：Divided among streaming movies on Netflix, watching home improvement videos on YouTube and playing video games. There has to be more to life than this. With the holiday season upon us, now it is a good time to take a breather and consider a digital detox. 【1】 Here’s what we can do.

Come Up With a Plan.

【2】 — after all, many students are attending school via videoconferencing apps. So Step One is assessing which parts of screen time feel toxic and make you unhappy. Step Two is creating a realistic plan to minimize consumption of the bad stuff.

Create No­Phone Zones.

“My No.1 piece of advice is no phone in the bedroom overnight,” Dr. Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University, said. “Have a charging station outside the bedroom.”【3】 The dinner table, for example, is a prime opportunity for families to agree to put phones away for at least 30 minutes and reconnect.

【4】

Social media sites create goals to keep users engaged. Those include the number of likes and followers we accumulate on Twitter. YouTube automatically plays the next recommended video, not to mention the never­ending Twitter scrolling. For starters, we can resist the hooks by making our phones less intrusive. Turn off notifications for all apps except those that are essential for work and keeping in touch with people you care about. 【5】

A．Resist the Hooks.

B．Not all screen time is bad.

C．Say no to Facebook or Twitter.

D．So I turned to psychology experts for their advice.

E．Whenever we are at home, we can put phones away.

F．Outside of our bedrooms, we can create other No­Phone Zones.

G．If you feel strongly addicted, take an extreme measure and turn the phone to grayscale mode.

23、A Bachelor of Arts degree requires basic skills in a second language. It means you have to complete two years of university-level language study. I was lucky because I had studied Spanish before, though I wasn’t good at it, so I chose this language to learn at college. But that first day of Spanish class practicing mock(模拟的) conversations in an overcrowded room felt like the worst days of middle school Spanish classes. I felt I was not improving.

After my first year in college, I decided to travel to a Spanish-speaking country for part of the summer to improve my Spanish. I traveled to Guatemala for three weeks study: two in Quetzaltenango, which is a mid-sized town, and one in rural area. I lived with a host family, had one-on-one language classes, learned traditional weaving, and drank the most delicious hot chocolate I have ever tasted and went to strange places by myself. I communicated. I learned.

It was not until I traveled that I discovered the power of a second language. I had opened the door to conversations with people on a whole continent. By the time I did my official study abroad in Valdivia, Chile for the spring quarter of my second year of college, I was already at a fluent speaking level. I could make friends. I could talk about ideas and people’s lives. I could ask questions. I could be myself.

When you’re trying to learn a second language in a classroom, you’re surrounded by other people who also don’t speak the language. So whatever stage of language learning you’re now at, try to push yourself to find a couple of non-class opportunities to improve your skills. If you’re in a university town, there are probably language learners looking for language partners. There are increasing opportunities for formal and informal tutoring online in various languages. They’re all out there; it’s just up to you to find them.

【1】How did the author most probably find his Spanish class at college?

A．Useful.

B．Interesting.

C．Disappointing.

D．Challenging.

【2】What did the author do in Guatemala?

A．He took private Spanish classes.

B．He taught the locals to weave.

C．He traveled all around the country.

D．He explored strange places with friends.

【3】What can be learned about the author from Paragraph3?

A．He traveled a lot during college.

B．He found language learning difficult.

C．He had a difficult time in Valdivia.

D．He made great progress in Spanish.

【4】Why does the author write the text?

A．To advertise online language classes.

B．To encourage language learners to put the language to use.

C．To show the power of a second language.

D．To explain how to get a Bachelor of Arts degree.

24、Convincing someone to change their mind is really the process of convincing them to change their tribe (部落). If they abandon their beliefs, they run the risk of losing social ties. You can’t expect someone to change their mind if you take away their community too.

The way to change people’s minds is to become friends with them, to combine them into your tribe, to bring them into your circle. Now, they can change their beliefs without the risk of being abandoned socially.

The British philosopher Alain de Botton suggests that we simply share meals with those who disagree with us: “Sitting down at a table with a group of strangers has the incomparable and odd benefit of making it a little more difficult to hate them without punishment. Prejudice and conflict between groups of people from different nations or races feed off abstraction. However, during a meal, something about handing dishes around, unfolding napkins (餐巾纸) at the same moment, even asking a stranger to pass the salt makes us less likely to hold the belief that the outsiders who wear unusual clothes and speak in distinctive accents deserve to be sent home or attacked. For all the large-scale political solutions which have been proposed to ease racial or cultural conflict, there are few more effective ways to promote tolerance between suspicious neighbours than to force them to eat supper together.”

Perhaps it is not difference, but distance that produces tribalism and unfriendliness. As proximity increases, so does understanding. I am reminded of Abraham Lincoln’s quote, “I don’t like that man. I must get to know him better.” Facts don’t change our minds. Friendship does.

The Japanese writer Haruki Murakami once wrote, “Always remember that to argue, and win, is to break down the reality of the person you are arguing against. It is painful to lose your reality, so be kind, even if you are right.”

When we are in the moment, we can easily forget that the goal is to connect with the other side, cooperate with them, befriend them, and integrate them into our tribe. We are so caught up in winning that we forget about connecting. It’s easy to spend your energy labeling people rather than working with them.

The word “kind (family and relatives)” originated from the word “kin (old fashion of family and relatives).” When you are kind to someone, it means you are treating them like family. This, I think, is a good method for actually changing someone’s mind. Develop a friendship. Share a meal. Gift a book. Be kind first, be right later.

【1】People are likely to change their mind when they _____.

A．change their beliefs

B．are made friends with

C．move to a new community

D．are given somewhere to go

【2】What does the underlined word “proximity” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Nearness.

B．Action.

C．Communication.

D．Politeness.

【3】The author quotes from Haruki Murakami to imply that _____.

A．breaking down one’s reality is easy

B．kindness is more important than right

C．arguing and winning are not important

D．losing one’s identity is a painful process

【4】According to the passage, sharing meals is effective in building connections because it ____.

A．pleases people with different beliefs or accents

B．makes people focus on eating rather than conflicts

C．brings benefits to the people having dinner together

D．promotes understanding and tolerance among people
