22、I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg last night, a distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I was clinching (紧握) my fists with impatience.

At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroads with the traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I approached the light, it turned red and I braked to stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for' the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.

I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being arrested, because there were obviously no police around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.

Much later that night, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of an agreement we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it's an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights.

It's amazing that we ever trust each other to do the right thing, isn't it? And we do, too. Trust is our first tendency. We have to make a deliberate decision to mistrust someone or to be suspicious or skeptical. Those attitudes don't come naturally to us.

It's a very good thing too, because the whole structure of our society depends on mutual trust, not distrust. This whole thing around us would fall apart if we didn't trust each other most of the time. We do what we say we'll do; we show up when we say we'll show up; we deliver when we say we'll deliver; and we pay when we say we'll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and when we don't do what we've promised, it's far from the normal. It happens often that we don't act in good faith and in a trustworthy manner, but we still consider it unusual, and we're angry or disappointed with those badly-behaved people. Anyway I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.

A. Because he had already driven for a long time.

B. Because it was too far away from his destination.

C. Because something urgent happened in his family.

B. some policemen were on duty just at that point

C. the trust between people influenced the author

D. there was potential danger

【3】What would happen if people didn't trust each other in most cases?

A. A11 the things would run normally.

23、Xing Eryang, who founded the Douban topic in 2021, is a 31-year-old female resident in Beijing and is amazed to find her “slash (斜杠) life” philosophy echoed by so many of her peers.

After graduating in 2014, Xing landed her job at a public institution. While staying diligent about her daytime work, she is developing her hobbies, including stand-up comedy, sharing video blogs and podcasting (播客), into secondary careers during her downtime.

“I prefer the word ‘slash’ because a diverse lifestyle is like using a knife to cut our life into different parts. One part works hard during the daytime, while the other part can still chase after truth, goodness and inner beauty during our personal time,” she explains.

A 26-vear-old woman nicknamed Weiheng, from Guangzhou, and Tang Yuhan, a 27-year-old man in Anhui province, are both participants in the online thread, with their stories obtaining thousands of likes so far.

The two are both musicians in their spare time, even though they are thousands of miles apart and have different jobs in media and finance. Weiheng is now a lead singer in a band after work, while Tang plays the guitar in a death metal group.

Their passion for music has grown since college and they didn’t abandon their enthusiasm, even after entering the workplace. Though they both faced doubts and worries from their family and colleagues at first, they stuck to their beliefs and won the respect and understanding of others.

The two music enthusiasts make use of their nighttime to rehearse and then perform on holidays and weekends. Weiheng’s band, Flouting Soul, has released eight songs and signed a contract with a music agency, ready to launch albums and get down to a concert tour.

The “slash life” craziness shows that along with China’s economic development, our society is becoming more and more diversified, and it welcomes everyone’s self-fulfillment. Young people no longer have to rely on work and money for their sense of self-worth. They lend to practice a carpe diem (及时行乐) philosophy and create their own identities.

【1】Why did Xing call her life a “slash” one?

A．Because her life is cut into different parts by an invisible slash.

B．Because she preferred the word “slash” when she was young.

C．Because she developed her hobbies into secondary careers.

D．Because Douban requires her to choose “slash” as a topic.

【2】What does Tang Yuhan think of his slash life?

A．Disgusting.

B．Favourable.

C．Funny.

D．Frustrating.

【3】What is the purpose of the last paragraph?

A．To provide career guidance.

B．To analyze a cultural difference.

C．To conclude from the phenomenon

D．To share a unique life experience.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A．Xing Eryang founded the Douban topic “slash life”.

B．Young people prefer “slash life” to their real lives.

C．China’s economy develops fast due to “slash life”.

D．“Slash life” trend allows workers to chase their dreams.

Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah, $2.95

A Chinese proverb says, “Falling leaves return to their roots.” In Chinese Cinderella, Adeline Yen Mah returns to her roots to tell the story of her painful childhood and her courage in the face of despair.

Although Adeline wins prizes at school, they are not enough to get what she really desires — the love and understanding of her family.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Amy Hagadom, a third-grade girl in Fort Wayne, Indiana, impressed people all across the country by bravely speaking up to make a simple yet remarkable wish.

As Amy Hagadorn rounded the comer across the hall from her classroom, she knocked into a tall boy from the fifth grade running in the opposite direction.

“Watch it, squirt (矮子).” The boy yelled as he passed by the little third-grader. Then, with a bad smile on his face, the boy took hold of his right leg and copied the way Amy limped (跛行) when she walked.

Amy closed her eyes. Ignore him, she told herself as she headed for her classroom. But at the end of the day, Amy was still thinking about the tall boy's mean teasing. It wasn't as if he were the only one. It seemed that ever since Amy started the third grade, someone teased her every single day. Kids teased her about her speech or her limping. Amy was tired of it. Sometimes, even in a classroom full of other students,the teasing made her feel very lonely.

Back home at the dinner table that evening, Amy was quiet. Her mother knew that things were not going well at school. That’s why Patti Hagadorn was happy to have some exciting news to share with her daughter.

“There’s a Christmas wish contest on the radio station,”Amy’s mom announced.“Write a letter to Santa, and you might win a prize.”

Amy giggled.The contest sounded like fun. She started thinking about what she wanted most for Christmas.

A smile took hold of Amy when the idea first came to her. Out came pencil and paper, and Amy went to work on her letter.

Dear Santa Claus.

My name is Amy. I am nine years old. I have a problem at school. Can you help me Santa? Kids laugh at me because of the way I walk and run and talk. I have a serious disease. I just want one day where no one laughs at me or makes fun of me. Love, Amy.
