21、 Many people wonder what they can do to become well-rounded and competitive while increasing their rate of success. An often overlooked yet simple way to improve is to increase your knowledge by being a self-starter.
【1】 Rid yourself of assumptions and convictions so that you can be open and receptive to new information. This at times may even contradict what you have always believed to be true. You will eventually come across information that challenges your worldview. Rather than remaining resting in your comfort zone, use this time to stop, reflect and shed light on these ideas in a way that can develop and expand your vision.
After the mind has been ready, the next step is application. Create a to-learn list just as you would a to-do list. Learning information you can utilize in your daily life is very important to having a continuous desire to further advance your education. 【2】 Reading a book on automobile repair isn’t the same as physically changing the oil or tire on your car. Reading about art isn’t the same as picking up a brush. If your knowledge can be directly applied in a functional and fun fashion, put it into practice! 【3】
Surround yourself with like-minded individuals and try to always take something valuable away from your daily interactions. Many people are professionals in their field and have valuable information and insight to share. 【4】 Never be too prideful, for each question you don’t ask is a missed opportunity!
Go ahead and challenge yourself today. Commit to expanding your mind, continuing your education and becoming a student of life. 【5】 Remember to cultivate your mind so it is prepared to expand, blossom and grow. And share your fountain of knowledge.
A. Be willing to expand your mind.
B. Get ready to seek new information.
C. Many people learn by being hands-on.
D. Learning on the go has actually never been easier!
E. If you come across anything that bewilders you, ask them!
F. Skill-based learning, for example, is useless if it isn’t applied.
G. Utilize the world as your classroom, and always come away with a lesson.
22、 “Regardless of social class, race and age, men say they hate to shop,” says Zukin, City University of New York sociology professor. “Yet when you ask them deeper questions, it turns out that they like to shop. Men generally like to shop for books, music and hardware. But if you ask them about the shopping they do for books or music, they'll say, ‘Well, that's not shopping. That's research.’”
In other words, what men and women call “buying things” and how they approach that task are different.
Women will wander through several 1,000squaremetre stores in search of the perfect party dress. Men will wander through 100 Internet sites in search of the perfect digital camcorder. Women see shopping as a social event. Men see it as a special task or a game to be won.
“Men are frequently shopping to win,” says Ann, a marketing professor at Loyola University of Chicago. “They want to get the best deal. They want to get the best and latest one and if they do that, it makes them happy. When women shop, they're doing it in a way that they want everybody to be very happy,” says Ann. “They're kind of shopping for love.”
“Teenage girls learn to shop from their mums and elder sisters, and they also learn to shop by examining articles in magazines like Seventeen,” Zukin says. “And although men's magazines such as GQ and Esquire have long had shopping articles, it's TV that has the eye of young male shoppers,” say Ann and Zukin.
“Television shows are used by young men in the same way Seventeen or Lucky is used by girls,” says Zukin, “to help make clothing and toiletry choices.”
“Of course, there are men who love to shop and are proud of it,” Ann says. And that is important no matter whether you buy a car or a frying pan. All men love to buy but don't want to get cheated. Ann adds, “There actually are men who are interested, for example, in cooking or shopping or chinaware or things around the home—they become kind of girl magnets. Women like it.”
【1】From the first paragraph we can find that .
A.men are all dishonest B.men like to shop in fact
C.men hate to shop actually D.men are all booklovers
【2】Compared to women, men usually treat shopping .
A.honestly B.frequently
C.seriously D.foolishly
【3】As is shown in this passage, teenage girls go shopping .
A.only with their sisters B.often following magazines
C.only with their mums D.often following TV shows
【4】The underlined word “magnets” in the last paragraph means “ ”.
A.vegetables that make women beautiful
B.magazines that attract young women
C.persons that have a powerful attraction
D.tools that can help housewives much
23、 A day in the life of 18-year-old David Lanster is full of teenage activities: school, baseball practice, homework. And then he starts cooking. "Some nights I'm up until I am making pies, or even later if we're cooking beef," said the student at Ransom Everglades High School in Florida, US.
For the past year, Lanster and Kelly Moran, his classmate, have been hosting fancy dinner parties at Lanster's parents' home. Their meals have 17 courses and are all made by them. Their guests used to give them gifts to thank them, until the pair decided to do something nice for charity. "We got some really great Miami Heat tickets, a nice watch, and many kitchen machines," Lanster said. "But we wanted to make this something positive for people rather than us."
Lanster and Moran focused on Common Threads, a charity that helps to teach kids in poor neighbourhood to cook and make healthy eating choices. The young cooks ask their guests to give however much they want as payment for their meals. It all goes to Common Threads because Lanster's parents cover their food costs. After their last 12-person event, Lanster and Moran gave $1,600 to the charity. Now, they're taking their show out of the kitchen and on the road. Lanster and Moran have started to organise private dinner parties in a similar way: the host pays for the ingredients (食材), and the guests make a donation (捐赠) to a charity.
Outside the kitchen, the two are busy preparing their college applications. Neither is sure what they will do in the future, but they've promised their parents that they'll leave cooking alone until they finish high school.

24、A promotion (促销活动) offering 98 yuan plane tickets is being advertised by Chinese online travel platform LY.COM. While such a low price sounds amazing, there is just one catch: The buyer is not told where the flight is heading, nor when it will take off.
The promotion has become a hot topic on Chinese social media as some people have been attempting to book them ahead of the upcoming 7 days holiday. Labeled (贴标签) as a “destination blind box” on the site, tickets are bought through a rather simple booking procedure, in which passengers provide their travel information, select a departure airport and then pay their 98 yuan. If the randomly (随意地) chosen date and destination are unsuitable, users may ask for a refund, but once they “lock in” their tickets, there is no going back.
“Destination blind box” is now a hot topic on China's online platforms. “I believe the youth are a big target for this promotion, because they not only enjoy the excitement of the unknown, but also like to show off their lives through these types of activities. Like this one for example, it doesn't matter if they finally go or not. Booking a ticket and posting about it on social media can still suggest that one has adventurous and life-loving qualities,” said Fan, a marketing expert who has worked with civil aviation (航空) clients.
【1】Which of the following best explains “catch” underlined in paragraph 1?
A．Disadvantage.
B．Benefit.
C．Mistake.
D．Charm.
【2】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．The origin of “destination blind box”.
B．The popularity of “destination blind box”.
C．The original purpose of “destination blind box”.
D．The way to purchase “destination blind box”.

B．It helps them save money on the cost of travel.
C．It meet with their lifestyle and attitudes.
D．It satisfies their desire to travel around China.
【4】In which part of a newspaper can you find this article?
