21、One of the statements that many experts seem to agree on is the fact that the great things starts to happen the minute you step outside of your comfort zones. As soon as you decide that you are willing to go beyond what is safe, the possibilities are endless. For me, one of the most important things that we should always keep in mind is the fact that growth and comfort can’t coexist.
Personal development author Napoleon Hill once said: “Whatever the mind can understand and believe, the mind can achieve. Regardless of how many times you may have failed in the past or how lofty(崇高的) your aims and hopes may be.” This statement is especially powerful because it reminds us that we are the only ones who can be responsible for how far we will go. However, stepping outside of our comfort zone is probably the most important step to experiencing real change.
For a long time, I knew that I wanted to live in Argentina, so halfway through my bachelor’s degree, I bought a one-way ticket there. While in Argentina, I finished the last two years of my degree online before flying back home for graduation. I currently still live in Argentina, and I can proudly say that taking the necessary steps to make it a reality was one of the most important things I could have done.
This, of course, by no means at all applies to everyone, and I’m not implying we should all buy one-way tickets to foreign countries and see what happens. But it’s important to know that we should recognize what we desire and try to bring our dreams to life.
Living in a comfort zone can trick us into believing that we have an abundant amount of time when, in reality, we all know that years can fly by without us having accomplished much of what we really wanted to do. So why wait? I’m thankful that I didn’t put off my move until a later date because I would have missed out on a lot of amazing life experiences that have shaped me as a person. If we want to experience even a small amount of change, we will have to step outside of it.
【1】Why do people prefer staying in comfort zone?
A．It makes people feel safe.
B．It leads to great things.
C．It is important for growth.

【2】What does Napoleon Hill’s statement mean?

【3】Which matters most to the author in his/her story?
A．Moving to Argentina.
B．Getting the bachelor’s degree.
C．Studying online.
D．Flying back for graduation.
【4】The author used his/her story to ________.
A．persuade others to follow his/her example
B．encourage others to take immediate action
C．inform people of different foreign culture
D．remind people to be thankful in life
【5】Which one could be the best title?

22、 Canada is a bilingual country with "co-official " languages. English and French enjoy equal status as the official languages of all government agencies in Canada. This means that the public has the right to communicate with and receive services from government in either English or French. Government employees have the right to work in the official language of their choice in certain bilingual regions.
Like the United States, Canada started as a colony. Beginning in the 1500s it was part of New France but later became a British colony after the Seven Years’ War. As a result, the Canadian government recognized the languages of both colonizers: France and England. The Constitution (宪法)Act of 1867 admitted the use of both languages in federal courts. Years later, Canada strengthened its commitment to bilingualism when it passed the Official Languages Act of 1969, which reconfirmed the constitutional origins of its co official languages.
Recognition of both English and French protects the rights of all Canadians. Among other benefits, the 1969 Act recognized the Canadian citizens should be able to access federal laws and government documents, whether their native language was French or English. The general law also requires that consumer products feature bilingual packaging throughout the country.
The Canadian government is committed to advancing the equality and the use of English and French and provides support to the development of English and French minority communities. However, the reality is that most Canadians speak English, and of course, many Canadians speak another language entirely.
Although the federal government theoretically guarantees bilingual services in all areas, there are many regions where English is the clear majority language so the government does not offer services in French in those regions. Canadians use the phrase "where numbers justify "to indicate whether a local populations language requires bilingual services from the government.
While many Canadians are bilingual in English and French, Statistics. Canada finds that over 200 other languages were reported as a language spoken by its people. About two-thirds of the respondents who spoke one of these languages also spoke either English or French
【1】Why are two official languages accepted in Canada?
A. The language-using tradition caused by Canada's colonial history
B. The theoretical commitment made by Canadian courts in the past
C. The welcome attitude towards people coming from all over the world
D. The mastery of two languages of Canadians because of school education
【2】What is the current situation of official languages in Canada?
A. People speaking English are superior because of their access to federal laws
B. Federal governments have to provide bilingual services to all citizens in Canada
C. French minority communities are given more support due to their language-using history
D. There are more people speaking English than French in some parts of Canada
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A. The legal court usage of French and English was established in Canada in 1969.
B. Some Canadians in certain districts might speak neither English nor French
C. Either French or English should be used on products in Canada according to the law
D. English has gained superior legal position to French because of bigger users in Canada
【4】Which is the best title of the passage?
A. The Official Languages in Canada B. Canada, a Multiple-language Land
C. Balancing English and French in Canada D. Advancing English and French in Canada

24、Hua Sheng and Lu Sheng, a retired Tibetan couple, have become trailblazers (开拓者) of grape growing and winemaking in their old ages.
Lu Sheng learned grape planting and winemaking from her grandmother’s sister. Since they retired, the couple have moved to Lhasa from the village of Yakhadi. Though the fact that the region’s capital, which is 3,600 meters above sea level, is considered unfit for growing grapes, Lu Sheng and Hua Sheng began an ambitious project in 2015, planting grapes in Tsalna, a town in the suburb of Lhasa.
They received support from the local government, which is committed to developing business and the economy. The couple’s project provides jobs for rural residents, and, as a result, the government has considered the project part of its poverty relief program.
“Lhasa is an ideal place for planting French grape varieties that are resistant to cold, drought and disease, and adaptable to high-altitude and open-air planting,” Lu Sheng said.
“Thanks to the plateau’s sunshine and organic planting, our grapes grow very well here in Lhasa. The grapes are a bit sour and sweet, and they have a high anthocyanin (花青素) content,” she said. Anthocyanins, which accumulate (积累) in grape cells and contribute rich color to wine, are water-soluble.
In 2018, Hua Sheng and Lu Sheng expanded their project, planting on nearly 6.67 hectares. In order to familiarize Tibetan farmers with grape planting and winemaking, they taught the skills to local villagers.
“We have successfully taught the local farmers how to grow grapes and make wine over the three years. They now have a new source of income besides traditional farming and herding,” Hua Sheng said.
Yudron, a resident of Nam, said she was grateful to the grape planting project in her village, which has contributed to her income and quality of life. “After working in the vine-yards for years, now we know how to make wine. We drink both barley and grape wine now. We love grape wine more, though, as it is healthier.”
【1】What did the couple do after their retirement?
A．They grew grapes and made wine in Lhasa.
B．They made friends with a French expert.
C．They moved to another city from Lhasa.
D．They learned grape planting from Hua Sheng's grandmother.
【2】Why was the couple's project thought of as part of a poverty relief program?
A．They donated grapes to local schools.
B．They employed local residents as workers.
C．They provided free wine for villagers.
D．They expanded the project with the local government.
【3】Which is the function of anthocyanins?
A．They make grapes more delicious.
B．They provide adequate colors for wine.
C．They make grapes a bit sour and sweet.
