21、Are you ambitious? Do you want to be successful? I believe most young people have a dream. 【1】

First, be passionate about what you do. If you do something primarily for love and not for other reasons, probably it will lead you to success. Take Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice, one of the most influential scientists in agriculture, for example. For more than 50 years, he devoted his life to rice production and his research has not only helped China find a way to remove hunger, but also contributed to world peace and social progress.

Second, 【2】 When Ma Yun first had the idea of quitting his job as a college teacher and starting up an online shopping company, everybody thought he was crazy. But he was confident that this company would be successful. Now Alibaba has not only become the biggest online sales company in the world, but also changed people's shopping habits as well.

It isn't just confidence. My third tip is: work hard. The "10,000-hour rule for success" states that you need to practise for a minimum of 10,000 hours. That's about six hours a day for five years. Bill Gates is a good example. For about five years, when he was a teenager, 【3】 His hard work gave him a big advantage over other people and he became one of the founders of Microsoft at the age of 20.

My tip number four is: set your goals high. At the age of five, Novak Djokovic decided he didn't want to be just a good tennis player, he wanted to be the best tennis player in the world. In2011, Djokovic, aged 24, won 3 major world championships and became the World Number One.

Finally, my last tip is: keep trying. Luckily for Harry Potter fans, the author J.K Rowling didn't listen to the negative comments from the 12 publishers who rejected her books. 【4】 Even the publisher who gave her a contract said she had no chance of making money in children's books. He was wrong and for the last 20 years, J.K. Rowling has been the author of the most famous children's books in the world.

【5】 You can become successful, too! Follow the five secrets，and you are to succeed!

A．These successful people started at the bottom and got to the top.

B．For 2 years, she tried to get them published.

C．Your dream can be realized if you recite many more secrets.

D．Our children want to read Harry Potter eagerly.

E．he spent 10,000 hours working on a basic computer.

F．be confident.

G．Follow our five secrets and you can make it!

22、Trained dogs might just be the proof that they really are men’s best friends not only because they can fill laundry baskets, but because they can now use washing machines with just a simple bark.

Thanks to the new washing machine —--- the ‘‘Woof to Wash”，a lot of people can benefit from the invention, which enables trained dogs to unlock the machine with a footpad and start it with a simple bark. A doggy footpad and a microphone system have been added, which can recognize a dog’s bark，which means that dogs are able to unlock the machine by pressing the pad with their paw, pull a rope with their mouth to open the machine, and close the machine again with their nose, before starting the washer by barking.

Dr. John Middleton is a great inventor. The disabled owners who are blind or have autism (孤独症)problems or learning difficulties, can’t use the present-day washing machines. So he thought there’s a lot of demand for the new washing machines to make things easier. Then he saw a video from the charity Support Dogs, where a dog makes the bed and loads the washing machine. He was completely blown away by the video at that moment. He was inspired that he could invent a machine which the dog could operate. Mr. Middleton said, “I’m happy I saw the video. A normal washing machine can be very challenging, so the single program machine is very helpful. But a lot of people also have speech problems, so a voice-activated machine is handy. ’’

The Support Dogs charity was set up in 1992. Dogs are trained here using voice commands and hand signals, so that they can help their owners fetch post, turn on light switches, open doors, assist in dressing and undressing, as well as do a complete laundry cycle. It has trained over 200 dogs to date throughout the country and relies fully on volunteer donations.

We hope the new washing machine can help more people. And we sincerely welcome the sponsorship of any type of business which is kindly willing to help. If you would like to sponsor, please contact us!

【1】What do we know about the “Woof to Wash” machine?

A. It enables smart dogs to have a bath by themselves.

【2】Who would benefit a lot from the new invention?

A. Disabled dog owners.

B. Dog trainers.

C. Famous inventors.

D. The Support Dogs charity.

【3】What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?

A. Mr. Middleton once got hurt by the dog in the video.

B. Mr. Middleton wanted to have a similar dog in the video.

C. Mr. Middleton was deeply impressed by the video.

D. Mr. Middleton wanted to make the same video.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

23、Plastic waste is choking our planet. People are trying to help fix it by recycling, but their efforts aren’t going far enough. Even when plastic producers are held responsible and attempt to solve the problem, it doesn’t always go smoothly. Such has been the case for the company Torus Pak, which produces novel packaging for frozen meals on a large scale.

Like mnany other black plastic products, the Torus Pak packages used a carbon-based pigment(颜料). This pigment troubles the sorting technology which is used by many recycling facilities, so black plastic usually ends up being thrown away because the machines can’t identify it. Now the company is midway through the complex process of phasing out that pigment and switching that pigment to one that doesn’t use carbon.

But that doesn’t mean the problem is solved, for the recycling rate at the waste facility it- self is not encouraging. Your discarded plastic may end up in a landfill even if you send it to be recycled. Worldwide, only about nine percent of all the plastic waste has been recycled, which amounts to less than 600 million tons out of over 6 billion. While one might assume the pro- portion of plastic being recycled is on the increase due to improved tech and increased public awareness of environmental protection, it’s actually become even lower in many places in recent years.

“The world wasn’t always flooded with single-use plastic products, ” said Lisa Ramsden, senior plastic campaigner for Greenpeace USA. “We know how to live without them. We’ve just got used to a convenience culture that relies so heavily on them. ”

The solution is obvious. To get out of this habit, we should stop using so much plastic, starting with many of the items we use just once for a few minutes. Companies need to shift toward using more refillable and reusable containers, and packaging made from materials that are less harmful to the environment. Governments must mandate(强制执行)such changes a goal we’re now finally inching closer to every day.

【1】What is the problem with the Torus Pak packages?

A．They are expensive for customers.

B．Their pigment is hardly appealing.

C．They are hard to define as “recyclable”.

D．Their production process is very complex.

【2】What does the author mainly stress in paragraph 3?

A．The reason for recycling plastic waste.

B．The outcome of recycling plastic waste.

C．The potential of recycling plastic waste.

D．The objective of recycling plastic waste.

【3】What is advised to solve the plastic pollution in the text?

A．Advancing recycling technology.

B．Making some stricter relevant laws.

C．Setting higher environmental goals.

D．Reducing the use of plastic products.

【4】Which can be the best title for the text?

A．A company contributes to recycling

B．Recycling fails to solve plastic pollution

C．Great changes happen in recycling plastic

D．Plastic pollution is increasingly worsening

24、Thirteen-year-old Kaylee has a lot of friends—532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them.

But is it possible that Kaylee’s online friendships could be making her lonely? That’s what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However,   some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships.

Could this be true? During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone. Friends might even write letters to each other.

Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2,000 texts a month   and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen. Much of this time is spent on   social media platforms(平台).

In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger, “There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie Davis, co-author of The App Generation.

Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual words, we will have little time for our real-world friendships.” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life. However, in tough times, you don’t need someone to like your picture or share your blogs. You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would like to talk face to face.

【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To summarize the text.

B．To tell about true friends.

C．To bring up a discussion.

D．To encourage online friendship.

【2】What does the underlined part “in the flesh” mean in Paragraph 3?

A．In any case.

B．In person.

C．In full measure.

D．In advance.

【3】What is Katie’s attitude towards online communication?

A．Worried.

B．Unconcerned.

C．Confused.

D．Positive.

【4】What view does Rosen hold?

A．It’s wise to turn to friends online.

B．It’s easier to develop friendships in reality.

C．Teenagers need focus on real-world friendships.

D．Social media help people stay closely connected.
