22、At heart, parents always wish the best for their children, and they work hard for that. Nowadays, we see parents deciding the schools for their little ones before the baby is even born. Once kids start going to school, some parents want to have a time-to-time update of their kid's activities. They want to come to the classroom every day, keep an eye on whom they talk to, know the friends they keep, start telling them how to do their job, and keep talking or giving a feedback(反馈) to them about everything under the sun. Besides, they send their kids for extra hobby classes, as they want their children to do best in every field.
When it comes to the education, super mom and dad have all the plans made for their children, and I am sure that they have come up with the best. So, try to fight for the dreams that your parents have set for you. However, in some cases, it may happen that the kids have some different dreams. Parents sometimes don't even consider the choice of their kids and may force them to do what they wanted to do in life. It's good to plan the future for the children, but leave at least some decisions to them.
So what should the children do? First, hear out all the plans that your parents have made for you. If you have some different ideas, then sit down and talk to your family about it. Be patient and respect their decisions, but put your plan forth, and make them understand what you want to do and why. Many times, you are not aware of the difficulties that you may have to face while pursuing your dreams. Ask your parents for suggestions, which will make them feel good and involved. That way, they may support you if you are going on the right path.

23、 Does reading depressing information online get you down? Put the phone away for an hour. Or, better yet, make it 24 hours--you might just get $2, 400 out of it.
RVW, a company that tests home services and products, is holding a 24-hour digital detox (脱瘾) challenge. They’ll pay their chosen challengers, who are “definitely into tech”, over $2000 to survive a whole day without screens.
The challenge is not as easy as it sounds. Those selected for the challenge will not only have to swear off their phones for the day, but television, gaming, computers, smart watches and smart home devices are also off-limits. However, the company clarifies, microwaves are still okay.
The challengers will receive safes to store their electronics in for the 24 hours, along with a $200 supermarket gift card to purchase a tech-free “survival kit,” the company wrote. Some survival kit suggestions from the company include a typewriter to replace computers, writing paper to replace texts, and paints and brushes to replace the fine art of the selfie. Challengers will have to review the survival kit and give feedback (反馈) on the experience after completing the challenge.
Screen time is a growing health risk. The company's challenge comes at a time when “screen time” has taken on new meaning. Nowadays, many people are forced to work remotely and students to study online, making screens more of a necessity than ever before. According to a 2019 report, US teens were spending an average of more than seven hours per day on screen media for entertainment alone. “We have a feeling someone out there needs a break,” the company wrote.
To apply, the company requests a bit of personal information and a 100-word question about why you're right for the challenge. Applications will be open until June 26 and winners will be announced on the company's website on June 29.
【1】According to the company, who will be chosen as the ideal challenger?
A.Thomas, who is an expert in home services.
B.Julie, who is a fan of printed newspaper.

D.Antonia, who is addicted to online games.

B.forbidden
C.limitless
D.useless
【3】What can be inferred about the survival kit?
A.It is one of the company's products.
B.It doesn't involve electronics.
C.It is specially designed for artists.
D.It is used to review the experience.
【4】Why did the company hold the challenge?
A.To advocate spending less time on screens.
B.To pay people to work or study offline forever.
C.To make people realize the necessity of screens.
D.To draw people’s attention to health risks.
24、Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot… you can travel fast or slow. The movement of your feet gets you where you need to go. But it also gets you so much more! 【1】
Walking helps you in various ways. First it makes your heart stronger. Studies show regular walking lowers your chance of heart disease. Walking for 30 minutes per day also helps control blood pressure. It can reduce your chance of having a stroke or developing some cancers, too.
Want to lose weight? You need to burn 600 more calories each day than you eat. 【2】

You can consider problems or think of ideas. You can think over conversations again or just remember funny things that have just happened recently.

You can make walking part of your day. Instead of parking right next to your office, park a distance away— and walk. Do not take the elevator, but walk. 【5】 They are what they sound like. Rather than sit, you walk and talk things over.

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。
Every summer, Jimmy’s beach restaurant receives lots of diving lovers from all over the world. One day, an urgent call came in. A newly married woman, who had spent the afternoon at the beach restaurant for her honeymoon, couldn’t find her wallet. Having turned the whole hotel room upside down, she realized the restaurant was the most likely place where she had lost it.
Near to a breakdown, she sobbed on the other end of the line, “I don’t care about my ID, credit cards, or $150 in cash, but my wedding ring is inside!”
Jimmy didn’t like the idea that a theft could have occurred at his place. So he set out to find the wallet. He spent hours searching 16 different surveillance cameras (监控) watching the woman’s every step in the restaurant until she went to sit on a bench right outside and left when her ride arrived. soon, boy in rags approached the bench, shoved (乱塞) something in his pocket, and walked off. Considering that the boy looked more of a kid than a criminal, Jimmy posted a video clip on the restaurant’s Facebook page and said, “I don’t want to punish him. I Just ask if anybody knows who the boy is.”
Within hours, Jimmy got a text from 14-year-old Tony, who’d heard about the post from his sister. Tony admitted having taken the wallet. So poor was his family that they hadn’t eaten in two days. Desperate and helpless, he took the wallet from the bench the moment he caught sight of it. He said he saw the ring but thought it was fake, so he took the money and threw the wallet into the water. Then he bought some sandwiches for his family. Out of sympathy, Jimmy replied, “I see, but the ring means the world to the new couple. Where did you throw it off? Just tell me the exact spot.” However, there was no reply.
