21、On a cold winter day in Denver, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the co-author of the best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series and the author of The Success Principles. What Jack had become was a version of what I wanted to be.
During his talk, Jack took out his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, “Who wants this?”
Hands shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would choose. But I ran up the stairs to the stage and grabbed the bill from his hand. He turned to me and said, “Yes, that’s it! Instead of waiting around for opportunities, simply take the initiative and create what we want!”
After this week, I asked for his personal e-mail address and sent him e-mail sharing my views and dreams. He kindly e-mailed back simple encouragement such as “Keep thinking and playing bigger; it’s much more fun that way. Love, Jack.” Then I got occupied with other things in life and I stopped e-mail Jack.
A year later, my dream gradually faded. I had this idea if I got back in touch with Jack. I e-mailed him again and again but got no response. As I sat down at my computer to check my e-mail for the fifth time in 15 minutes, an inspiration came like lighting: What was I doing? Was I waiting for the prize of life? I knew I needed to do something about all this waiting. I was going to write a book, which I would call “Waiting for Jack”!
It all sounded good, but then reality hit. Some nights I cried and wanted to give up. I wrote and rewrote. Even though I could feel the fear, I did it anyway. Fortunately, three years later, Waiting for Jack turns out a best-seller on Amazon!
We all have a “Jack” for whom we wait—whether it’s a person, a place or a thing. Now I would like to ask you: what are you waiting for?

23、 The European Space Agency(ESP) wants to build a village on the moon, said Woerner, the head of the agency, in a video interview posted on its website on March 21.
“I would like to build a base station on the moon, meaning that it’s an open station...for different states around the globe,” Woerner said to Euronews. He said the village could replace the International Space Station(ISS) in the future, which will be ended in 2024. In December Nexgen Space, a consultant(咨询) company for NASA, said that a lunar refueling station could “reduce the cost to NASA of sending humans to Mars by as much as $10 billion per year.”
According to the ESA’s plan, starting from the early 2020s, robots will be sent to the moon to begin building different facilities (设备), followed a few years later by the first humans to live there. Instead of bringing expensive resources from Earth, the moon’s natural resources like metal and frozen water could be used to build the village.
Having a lunar base could be challenging because of space radiation(辐射), meteorite(陨石) and extreme temperatures from 123℃ to 153℃, according to CNN. But Woerner said these risks could be made smaller by choosing the right locations on the moon.
“If we go into the shadow on the moon, we’ll have places where we don’t have the radiation... At the South Pole, we can find water,” he said.
Right now, the moon village is just an idea. But as the BBC said, there is a growing interest in returning to the moon and the idea will be taken seriously.
“Inside all of us there is something that goes beyond being practical,” Woerner said. “We like to discover. This is humankind and this is what brings us into the future.”
【1】What is most likely to happen after robots finish building different facilities?
A.Humans will be sent to Mars.
B.Humans will be sent to live on the Moon.
C.Expensive resources will be sent to the moon.
D.International Space Station(ISS) will be ended..
【2】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a risk for living on the moon?
A.It is too hot to live there.
B.There is too much radiation.
C.It's too far away from the earth.
D.There may be rocks landing from outer space.
【3】Based on the last paragraph, what may be the reason for humans to build a moon village?
A.Humans are very practical.
B.Humans want to experience the future.
C.Humans don’t like to stay in the same place.
D.Humans are nature-born to explore the unknown.
【4】Which of the following best describes the purpose of this passage?
A.To inform. B.To analyze. C.To persuade. D.To criticize.
24、 I moved to the Phoenix area in my early twenties, and to expand my social life I joined a young adult group at a church. Because I love music, I started singing in the choir (合唱队), where I met Lisa. We were about the same age. Finding people with similar interests helped reduce my feelings of loneliness after moving to a new city.
“Are you going to go on the retreat (静修)?” Lisa asked. Once or twice a year, the young adult group put on a retreat. I hesitated. I had little experience with retreats and I still felt like an outsider. “Come on,” Lisa said. “Everyone goes.” “Okay.” I agreed. After all, some cute guys were in the group. As the retreat weekend approached, I learned that the theme was forgiveness.
In my twenties, the world revolved(旋转)around me and what I wanted. And, as most people do, I learned how to be pleasant enough without giving in and having to apologize any more than necessary. In short, the forgiveness theme made me uncomfortable. I would attend the retreat, but I planned to sit quietly in the background and watch.
The retreat was held at a camp in Prescott, Arizona. The first night we gathered in the common room where we also ate our meals. According to the plan, I found a spot in the back where I could watch, unnoticed. The leader got up and spoke about the healing power of forgiveness. His words were touching. “Now comes the hard part,” he said. “I want to invite you to look into your hearts and if you feel moved to do so, go to a person here in the room and ask to be forgiven for something you’ve done.”
At the beginning, there was total silence. Was he kidding? Then Lisa stood up and made her way through the crowd toward me. Lisa planted her feet firmly in front of me. “Kathleen, I’d like to ask your forgiveness.” I shook my head. Then nodded, not sure how to respond. I felt the heat rise into my cheeks. I could hardly breathe knowing that everyone could hear and see all this. I had no idea what I was forgiving her for. I wanted her to just go away.
“I have been angry at how easily you joined our group. Even though you became my friend when we worked on music together, I still thought you were doing it for yourself. I’ve held that against you and I’m sorry.” “It’s okay,” I choked out. Stunned, I stood up, gave her an awkward hug and then sat back down. Lisa turned and went back to her seat. Lisa’s bravery broke the ice and everyone started to ask forgiveness for various injuries, some big, some small.
The world began to change for me. I learned empathy the day that Lisa asked my forgiveness. I had read To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee several times. But I realized that I had never understood the message Atticus Finch taught his children: “You never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them.” Through the years my friendships were better, stronger and deeper. I apologized and forgave quickly. Lisa allowed me the gift of friendship because her example taught me to forgive.

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。
Tucker stood by the back door and considered the winter sky: ice blue and not a single cloud. His breath made steamy circles in the air.
“I don’t think today’s the day, Tuck. We have to wait for the snow.” His father walked up beside him and looked outside. Then he walked off toward the basement door.
Tucker looked across the backyard of his family’s new house. Just beyond some pine trees, the flat ground pushed upward into a steep and empty hillside. Dad had promised that the hill would be perfect for sledding.
Tucker’s brand-new sled (雪橇板) rested in the corner of his room, sandwiched between his dresser and train table. It was perfect. He was sure it would be superfast. If only it would snow.
Tucker kicked gently at the door, then turned and went to look for his elder brother. Paul was in his usual spot, controller in hand, working his way through a video game.
“Hi, Paul.” Tucker sat down beside his brother. No response. “I said, ‘Hi!’” He tried speaking louder this time. “Sorry, Tuck. I’m at level ten. Later, OK?” Paul’s eyes remained glued to the screen. Tucker sighed and got up.
Tucker went down to the basement and found his father surrounded by piles of flattened cardboard (硬纸板) boxes. “Can you play knights (骑士) with me, Dad?” Tucker asked. His father looked over the wall of boxes and told him he had promised to get all these boxes broken down and ready for recycling. Tucker sighed. Suddenly, he got an idea.
“Dad, can I have some boxes and some duct tape (胶带)?” Tucker asked. His father smiled, grabbed the duct tape and tossed (扔) it to Tucker. “Have fun.”
Despite the cold, Tucker was sweating from carrying a mountain of cardboard into the backyard.
Paul appeared and asked, “What are you up to?” “Oh, good. I need help cutting the duct tape.” Tucker threw the sticky silver tape roll to his brother.
An hour later, Tucker and Paul stood, with a cardboard sled, on top of the hill under the fading January sun.
Para 1: “Do you think it will work?” Paul asked as he handed Tucker his sled.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2: “That’s so cool! Your turn!” Tucker collapsed (倒) next to Paul, breathless.
