24、If you’re working to become better or hoping to make a change, you’ll probably hear your family and friends say “go big or go home”. But sometimes big goals can shoot you in the foot. So, is it good to set high expectations?

Having high expectations could be beneficial. It can motivate (激励) you and increase your productivity. When you have high expectations for something, you’ll probably behave in ways which can help make your expectations come true. For example, if you believe that you’re able to score an A in a test, you will probably spend a lot of time working on it. And when you have to complete a written task before the deadline, having expectations on yourself can motivate you to keep on going. Another benefit of setting high expectations is that as you start meeting your expectations, you’ll be even more motivated to set higher goals for yourself. In addition, having high expectations on yourself doesn’t only benefit you. You’re likely to encourage others to be more productive! While there’s plenty of good that comes from setting high expectations, going overboard and being unrealistic in expectations can be detrimental.

Having high expectations sometimes can cause psychological (心理的) problems, such as worry and unhappiness. The findings of a study showed that a group of students who were expected to do perfectly by their parents experienced serious stress and anxiety (焦虑). Great expectations can also lead to great disappointment. This is especially true when you set expectations on other people whose actions you cannot control. For example, if you’re feeling alone and you call up your friends, you surely expect them to make you feel better. When this fails to happen, you will feel disappointed and displeased with your friends. To avoid this situation, you should accept your friends for who they are and set your expectations around reality.

It is hard to manage expectations, but the main goal is to find the perfect balance in setting a more realistic and achievable expectation. Learn to let go of things, especially when they don’t turn out the way you hoped. Most importantly, don’t be afraid to celebrate your victories no matter how small they are.

【1】If you have a high expectation on yourself, you will probably _________.

A．discourage others

B．work hard to realize it

C．be more confident than before

D．have high expectations on others

【2】The word “detrimental” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_________ ”.

A．harmful

B．unusual

C．disappointing

D．impossible

【3】The writer probably agrees that _________.

A．it’s wise to ask your friends to help you set expectations

B．stress is very likely to help you achieve your expectations

C．parents should avoid setting expectations on their children

D．we should set expectations on others according to the reality

【4】What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?

A．To offer advice on how to realize expectations.

B．To explain why people like to set high expectations.

C．To lead people to take a right attitude towards expectations.

D．To encourage people to set high expectations for themselves.

26、To us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade(遮蔽)against the sun.

Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, back in the eleventh century BC.

We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use : it became a symbol of honor and power(权力). In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.

In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it became a symbol of power.

Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.

Karl's next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades．Finally，he was even made the honor roll(优等生)．In his fourth year，I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl．I noticed that his teachers were surprised at the way he had turned himself around.On our way home, Karl said，"Mum，remember that call from the headmaster last year？"I nodded."That was me.I thought I'd play a joke but when I heard what you said,it really hit me how much I was hurting you.That's when I knew I had to make you proud."

Greet the other person 【2】 (polite)

If you know the person you are calling, you can start with “Hello! This is...How are you doing today?” If you do not know the person, introduce 【3】 (you) before starting a conversation.

Speak in your normal voice

If you talk too loudly, the person on the other line may feel 【4】 (happy). Similarly, if you talk too quietly, it may be difficult 【5】 (hear) you. If you are worried about your voice, you may ask “Excuse me, can you hear me?”
