21、The most important life lesson I’ve learned from running is to run at my own pace. This lesson has guided me in many ways. In particular, it made me challenge the fixed expectations of retirement and aging.
Running is a metaphor (隐喻) for life. I realized this while training for a marathon to celebrate my 60th birthday. All the other runners being faster than me made me embarrassed, but my coach shared some valuable advice: run at your own best pace — setting a goal or target time could be a limitation. He was right. Over time I ran more easily and faster. I also enjoyed the experience much more.
I have applied this principle to other areas of my life. Finding a rhythm is not about efficiency or how many things I can get done in a day. It has more to do with what I decide to do at this stage in my life. Running carries its own set of expectations, including what people at certain life stage should be doing or not doing. Expectations at my age can center on how leisure time is spent, decisions about employment, and even the role of a grandparent.
I used to think it was young people who bore the impact of peer pressure, but older adults can experience it too. This is ironic, because often later in this life is a time when we tend to care less about the opinions of others.
I’m not suggesting we postpone dreams. Of course, we should do what matters to us, but it’s easy to view retirement as another occupation with benchmarks (基准) to be met. It’s a comparison trap that makes what someone else does the reference point.
Forget what others are doing. Their pace is not necessarily the pace you should run at. Run at your own way. Our bodies know what they need. Our hearts know what they need. In living life on our own terms, we will likely feel stronger in body, mind and spirit.
【1】What motivated the author to participate in marathon?
A．Her eager interest in running.
B．Her strong curiosity for marathon.
C．Her keen wish to celebrate her birthday.
D．Her urgent need to enhance her strength.
【2】What do the underlined words “this principle” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?
A．Setting a target time.
B．Finding your limitation.
C．Challenging fixed idcas.
D．Running at your own pace.
【3】How does the author feel about being retired?
A．Nervous.
B．Confused.
C．Optimistic.
D．Grateful.
【4】What can we know about the author?
A．She benefits from the coach’s words.
B．She used to be a professional runner.
C．She sees the value of a reference point.
D．She’s suffering a lot from peer pressure.

23、 Most of my life I had lived in a Black and Latino community. Neither of my parents had made it past middle school and I was the first in my family to ever set foot on a college campus. By contrast, most of my peers came from generations of college educated family and had grown up in rich, white suburbs. Instead of sharing with others how I was feeling, I isolated myself and thought I could get through it if I just focused on studying. During the weeks leading up to my sophomore year winter break, I finally decided I would drop out. Fortunately, that wasn’t the end of the story. I found strength and guidance to continue through to graduation.
Counseling(咨询) provided me a space to release and process my emotions. My counselor provided me books and other resources to understand what I was experiencing and she helped me feel empowered.
Volunteering with a campus organization that guided children in Chicago housing projects provided me a consistent reminder for why I was in college. My interactions with students who reminded me so much of my own friends back home inspired me to commit to working for access to higher education for low-income youth. I also got involved with a summer urban internship(实习生) program, where I cooperated with a group of student leaders to start a conference to dialogue about issues of race and class.
Knowledge is empowering. I read books and intentionally chose courses to learn more about topics related to immigration, race, social class and urban education. These courses and books helped me gain a much deeper understanding of my own racial experiences of oppression(压制). Most importantly, I was empowered with the knowledge I needed to work against injustice and inequality.
【1】Why did the author decide to drop out in the second college year?
A.He found it hard to concentrate on study.
B.His rich white peers pushed him too hard.
C.His family couldn’t afford the tuition anymore.
D.He set himself apart from others and suffered mentally.
【2】The following helped the author feel empowered EXCEPT _______?
A.Gaining knowledge from books and courses.
B.Volunteering in programs and interacting with people.
C.Cooperating with his own friends back home in programs.
D.Counseling for mental support and professional guidance.
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.An urban internship program is a must for college students.
B.The author gradually figure out the purpose of college study.
C.The counselors provided professional guidance on the issues of race.
D.Starting a conference is the only way to word against injustice and inequality.
24、Teenage years are one of the most exciting yet confusing stages in a person’s life. 【1】 You are at a time of exploration, trying to find out your preferences.one of which, is your pastime.
Some pastimes have no moral implications. For example, shall we play basketball or soccer? However, there are other choices that need to be made based on your values, beliefs and principles in life. Some examples include attending a party where there will be alcohol and drugs freely given out, lying to your parents or even skipping school to watch a movie with some friends. 【2】 Are you tempted to follow them?
Wanting to feel part of a group may force you to do things against your better judgement 【3】 You may be afraid to refuse for fear of losing friends. If your friends are true friends, they will respect your decision and not force you to join them.
There are some steps you may take to avoid negative peer pressure. Firstly, stay away from friends who force you to do things that you know are wrong 【4】 Next, be true to yourself and stand up for what you believe in. And if a situation gets out of hand, do not hesitate to approach an adult you trust for help.
It may not always be easy to resist peer pressure, but do know that you will feel good about yourself later. And you may have been a motivation in your group to bring about a positive change. 【5】

B．You expect peer pressure to work.
C．Others may just follow your lead
D．Don’t be afraid to stand up to that pressure.
