21、 It’s not easy feeling like you’re always under the spotlight being judged for each little mistake you make.Your mind is in an endless circle playing what you said and did over and over again.You wish you had a time capsule to go back and make things fight if you find mistakes.You fear what others will think about you and that they will reject and dislike you.You seek to be socially perfect.
Academically，you work long endless hours just to make those excellent marks.Although most would say“it's good to have high standards，”they have no idea about the internal hell you put yourself through to achieve perfection.If you come up less than your desired goal you feel as though you have failed，but you’re far from failing，you just don’t see it that way.So instead you are telling yourself that you’re stupid，and not smart.The pressure you place on yourself weighs you down and you wear the“not good enough”label each and every day.
You not only have high standards for yourself but you also have them for others.If people don’t perform up to your expectations，then you think them incompetent.This causes a lot of frustration because you can’t trust anyone to get things right.So instead of being a team player you fly solo(单飞)and try to do two or three jobs at once.Your unrealistic expectations cause you to criticize and judge others and that leads to problems in other areas of your life.
The attempt to be perfect is called perfectionism and it's the unachievable American dream that’s damaging our emotional and mental health.We strive for perfection with our body，in our performance，and in our relationships.In a society that overstates mistakes，is it any wonder that so many young people attempt the impossible task of being perfect?
We all have flaws，fears，and make mistakes，and that’s perfectly OK.It’s our imperfections that make life interesting and they help us grow into a stronger more adaptable person.We don’t have to strive to achieve the impossible.We are designed to be perfectly imperfect.

23、Habits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. "Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting creatures," William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the everchanging 21st century, even the word "habit" carries a negative meaning.
So it seems contradictory to talk about habits in the same context as innovation （创新）. But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks.
Rather than dismissing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit, we can instead direct our own change by consciously developing new habits. In fact, the more new things we try, the more creative we become.
But don't bother trying to kill off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into the brain, they're there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately press into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads.
"The first thing needed for innovation is attraction to wonder, "says Dawna Markova, author of The Open Mind. "But we are taught instead to 'decide', just as our president calls himself "the Decider'.” She adds, however, that "to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities."
“All of us work through problems in ways of which we're unaware, “she says. Researchers in the late 1960s discovered that humans are born with the ability to approach challenges in tour primary ways: analytically, procedurally, collaboratively （合作地）and innovatively. At the end of adolescence, however, the brain shuts down half of that ability, preserving only those ways of thought that have seemed most valuable during the first decade or so of life.
The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us use our innovative and collaborative ways of thought "This breaks the major rule in the American belief system-that anyone can do anything, " explains M. J. Ryan, author of the 2006 book This Year I Will... and Ms. Markova's business partner. “That's a lie that we have preserved, and it fosters commonness. Knowing what you're good at and doing even more of it creates excellence." This is where developing new habits comes in.
【1】William Wordsworth's words are mentioned in the first paragraph to ________
A．give the definition of habits
B．explain how habits are formed
C．highlight the nature and influence of habits
D．indicate the benefits of having habits
【2】Brain researchers have discovered that ________.
A．the forming of new habits can be guided
B．the development of habits can be predicted
C．the regulation of old habits can be transformed
D．the track of new habits can be created unconsciously
【3】Which of the following statements most probably agrees with Dawna Markova's view?
A．Decision makes no sense in choices.
B．Curiosity makes creative minds active.
C．Creative ideas are born of a relaxing mind.
D．Innovators always stick with only one possibility.
【4】What is Ryan's attitude towards standardized testing?
A．Positive.
B．Indifferent.
C．Short-sighted.
D．Critical.
【5】The purpose of the author writing this article is to persuade us.
A．to give up our traditional habits deliberately
B．to create and develop new habits consciously

24、 The poisonous domoic (藻) acid affected Alfred Hitchcock' s "The Birds" after hundreds of them absorbed the poison in the summer of 1961 and lost their minds.
The sick birds likely consumed poisonous acid via small fish. It also tends to collect in shellfish. And, according to a study published Tuesday, it may become more common as oceans warm, threatening birds and humans alike.
Researchers have studied the rate of poisonous acid over the past 20 years in the Pacific Northwest, and found it strongly related to water temperatures that are warmer than normal.
For now, warmer waters typically comes from events like EL Nino and a decades -long climate cycle called "Pacific decadal oscillation," the study found. It isn't yet clear how climate change, which also warms the oceans, might affect the rate of the poison.
"When water's unusually warm off our coast, it's because the circulation and patterns in the atmosphere has changed, bringing warm water from elsewhere - and this is happening at the same time that we also see high poisonous acid in shellfish, " Morgaine McKibben, the study ' s lead author said.
The poison is produced during warm domoic blooms, and gets passed up the food chain by animals that eat it. Sea lions, dolphins and humans are at risk. While some animals can eventually clean themselves of the poison, the threat can last a long time after the warm water decreases.
Animals poisoned by poisonous acid tend to become weak, and experience death. Symptoms in humans include headache, confusion, loss of short - term memory, weakness and unconsciousness.
It isn't just a health risk. An Oregon State University statement notes that officials have to shut down shellfish harvests when poisonous acid levels are high, causing economic harm.
Since health officials first regarded poison acid as a health threat in 1987, Pacific Northwest shellfish harvests have been stopped in 2005, 2017, and 2018. The West Coast crab（蟹）industry took an estimated$100 million hit in 2017 alone.
【1】Why did the birds lose their mind in the summer of 1961?
A. They maybe had a bad memory. B. They maybe ate poisonous fish.
C. They maybe collected the shellfish. D. They maybe drank warm water.
【2】What is the connection between the rate of poisonous acid and water temperatures?
A. When atmosphere has changed, it warms off the coast.
B. When circulation comes, the oceans get warmer.
C. When climate has changed, the oceans get colder.
D. When water becomes warmer, high poisonous acid appears.
【3】What result will poisonous acid cause to humans?
A. Making humans conscious. B. Making humans dead.
C. Making humans temporarily lose memory. D. Making humans suffer heart attack.
【4】What's the best title of this passage?
A. High Poisonous Acid Appears in the Animals
B. The West Coast Crab Industry Suffer Great Loss
C. Climate Change Warms the Oceans in the World
D. Warmer Oceans Increase Likelihood of Poisonous Shellfish
