21、When people first come across the Law of Attraction (吸引力法则), their hearts and minds often immediately think of one specific thing that they’d love to achieve in their lives. However, the next thought is often “But I can’t do that”. You may come up with all kinds of excuses. 【1】Here are the reasons why you should believe you can use the Law of Attraction to obtain whatever you want.
Small steps create big changes. One of the most common reasons for abandoning dreams is that they simply seem too huge to realize. Usually it’s manageable to think of following your dream as taking a series of significant but small steps. 【2】 Then look at each of them. Not so unrealistic now, is it?
【3】 When people are interviewed on their deathbeds or write about their lives in autobiographies (自传), it is often observed that major regrets tend to relate to things that were not done. In older age, it’s likely that you will be uncomfortable with the idea that you didn’t even try to do the thing that you loved or attempt to obtain what you truly wanted.【4】But you don’t ever need to feel this way! Make today the first day of your new journey towards avoiding regret.
Steps towards your dream are never backwards steps. Another common worry is that if you follow your dreams, you’ll be “taking steps back”.【5】 However, what looks like backward steps in your old life can more productively and accurately be seen as forwarding steps in the brand new life you’re creating.
A.You can avoid regret.
B.It makes sense to move forward confidently.
C.Luckily, the truth is that it’s never too late to follow your dream.
D.It often comes up when people are at the top of careers they hate.
E.It is painful to feel like you haven’t ever found your true purpose.
F.For example, challenge yourself to write down the path to success in ten stages.
G.You have enough life experience and knowledge to make changes to pursue your dream.
22、Some teens are disapproving of compulsory BMI (body mass index) (身体质量指数) checks in PE classes. Do BMI checks at school do more harm than good? Two teens take sides.
Maya Meade, a high school freshman in Ohio, says yes. “I understand that schools want to weigh students because they are concerned about their physical health. That’s not a bad thing! But what about their mental health? For many students, appearance and self-image are huge sources of stress. Forcing teens to be weighed at school will only increase the pressure they feel to fit a certain mold (模子)”, says Maya.
In Maya’s opinion, weight is a personal matter that should stay between a doctor and a patient. She says, “Just imagine someone who struggles with body image being told that his or her BMI is too high as classmates look on! Even if other kids can’t hear, no student wants to feel judged by his or her teacher. That’s not why we go to school.”
Maya thinks if a school wants to have an impact on a student’s physical health, there are better ways to do it, such as providing healthy but filling meals, encouraging physical activity and teaching students about nutrition.
Ben Bagbek, a second-year student in a high school in New York, holds a different opinion. “There is no reason why a school should not be allowed to weigh its students and teach them how to calculate BMI! Obesity (肥胖症) is a huge public health concern in our country. And schools are in a position to help students understand what their weight means to their health -- before they’re at risk of life-threatening conditions.”
“A school’s job is to help students reach their full potential, and your health undoubtedly plays a role in your academic performance. BMI is not a perfect measurement, but it can help you identify the need for healthier eating habits or more physical activity.” says Ben.
The bottom line is: When you feel good, you learn better. As long as the actual number on the scale stays private, it should be viewed as an important part of your health education.
【1】What are the two teens debating?
A.Whether students are enjoying PE classes.
B.Whether schools are body-shaming students.
C.Whether students should pay attention to weight.
D.Whether schools should help students lose weight.
【2】According to Maya, what will BMI checks bring to students?
A.Healthy diets.
B.Emotional stress.
C.Fierce competition.
D.Positive self-awareness.
【3】What does Maya think of weight?
A.It’s private.
B.It’s important.
C.It’s hard to lose.
D.It’s not a big deal.
【4】Which of the following may Ben agree with?
A.Most school students are overweight.
B.BMI checks are of little help to students.
C.Schools have the right to weigh students.
D.It’s not schools’ duty to help students keep fit.
23、The US teenager Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his time at Hebron High School in Texas. But when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Mandarin class, he quickly changed his mind.
“I thought Mandarin would be more useful than Latin,” said Cheatham, who is now in his second year of studying the language. He speaks Mandarin to order food at Chinese restaurants and can read social media posts from his Chinese-speaking friends.
While it's a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career. “Chinese is a good language to know, especially with China becoming more powerful,” he said.
Many experts agree that proficiency in a language spoken by a billion people worldwide will give American students the edge in the global economy. “People are looking on China as our next economic competitor, and interest in Mandarin is growing,” said Marty Abbott, the executive director of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. “We're seeing it in all parts of the country.”
According to Abbott, as many as 100,000 students are now studying Mandarin throughout the US, in public and private schools. She said the US government has designated Mandarin as a “critical needs” language and provides professional development programs for teachers. “Our government wants to increase our language competency for economic competitiveness,” Abbott said.
At the same time, the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and culture through Confucius Institutes set up in many US states. For example, the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas at Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for 10 years. It sponsors Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools, where tens of thousands of students are learning Mandarin.
【1】Why did Thomas Cheatham decide to study Mandarin instead of Latin?
A.Mandarin was easier to learn than Latin.
B.Mandarin could be helpful in his future career.
C.Mandarin could enable him to make more friends online.
D.Mandarin might help him learn more about Chinese food.
【2】What does the underlined word “proficiency” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Great skill.
B.Strong interest.
C.Shortage of practice.
D.A level of difficulty.
【3】Which of the following statements might Marty Abbott agree with?
A.Mandarin should be taught in classrooms throughout the US.
B.The US government's policy has helped popularize Mandarin in the US.
C.Many Americans learn Mandarin because they worry about their economic competitiveness.
D.Those who master Chinese will be the most competitive in the US in the future.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A.The benefits of learning Mandarin for American students.
B.How Confucius Institutes in the US help develop Mandarin.
C.The rising popularity of Mandarin among American students.
D.The influence of China's growing power on American education.

Zhong’s idyllic(田园诗般的)city lifestyle started in 2020 when people were required to work from home due to COVID-19. “I grew garlic(大蒜) for the very first time as I didn’t want to throw it away.

We grow the plants we like and look forward to the harvest, and experience the happiness of the idyllic moments,” Zhong said.
Chinese city managers and social organizations are also looking for new methods to rebuild the relationship between city people and nature through vegetable gardens. The government of Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong, started a city vegetable garden project last March, providing seeds and farm tools as well as organizing agricultural experts to provide online Q&A for local people, in an effort to encourage them to get in touch with nature through balcony planting.
