21、Actually we have known a lot of examples and meaningful words to support the fact that we should try our best to ease the bad impression of others. Just like the old saying goes, we should give a better assumption to the one than we think he was. But many of us always fail to do this.
Take the situation of my class for example. Right at the beginning of the first semester when we were freshmen we all showed great favor to each other. And when there was an activity that needed some people to join, we would be willing to attend whether it was interesting or not. And we were really like brothers and sisters, and our class was just like a family, a warm family. But now, I feel tired of those meaningless activities not only because of the boring activities themselves but also the cool response of our classmates.
I think the reasons why the passion of most classmates is so low may be as follows:
To start with, many of us take part in more than one organization, which will certainly make us tired. Also, in the study fields, many of us may find that our courses are sometimes difficult to understand or comprehend, especially the specialized subjects. Moreover, "history" teaches us that if one does not study hard, it is possible to fail in the exams. So it is a big and good excuse to say that "I do really want to attend, but I have a lot of horse work to do, so'"."
Last but not least, some people believe that some of our leaders should not be regarded as a leader, maybe I should say we, as leaders, lost the reputation, support and trust of yours. At least I am the warm-hearted one, although I cannot promise you that your advice will be adopted surely, at least I will spare no effort to "give" you the right to be heard, and to serve you.
Be active to show your talents and abilities and to create a better image of our class. Most important of all, work painstakingly for a better condition that we should have reached.

22、There are a lot of names for people who travel the world — backpackers, tourists, explorers, travelers. Labels (标签) are everywhere but seem especially popular among travelers trying to differentiate (区别) their style of travel. For many travelers, these labels make them feel better over another.
Andrew Zimmern from Bizarre Foods once said, “Please be a traveler, not a tourist. Try new things, meet new people, and look beyond what’s right in front of you. Those are the keys to understanding this amazing world we live in.” The idea here is that travelers are better at exploring the world than tourists. They dig deep into the culture, drink it up, and get to know a place while a tourist takes pictures and declares to have “done Paris.”
But that’s wrong. We are all tourists.
Out on the road, backpackers love to talk about how real their travels are and how unreal tourists are. “Look at those tourists over there,” they say. They scoff at others who travel too quickly or to places that they think are not well worth visiting. However, they do so while eating hamburgers and drinking beers with other travelers.
The only way to really get to know a place deeply is to live there. If you want to live like a local, find an apartment, get a job, go to work, and do the same things as you did back home.
We are all only passing through a culture, getting a small taste before moving on to the next place. Even if we stay weeks or months, we’re just getting in touch with the surface. As a matter of fact, we are all really just tourists, or explorers, or travelers. Call yourself whatever you want — it’s all the same as we’re all trying to do the same thing — see the world.
So don’t label anyone and don’t let anyone label you. We’re all tourists. We’re all travelers. What we are all doing is more important than what we call ourselves. Let’s just enjoy the fact that we are simply people on the road.
【1】The mention of Andrew Zimmern’s words is to .
A．present amazing experiences

【3】What do tourists and travelers have in common?
A．They live like locals while traveling.
B．They enjoy tasty food on the way.
C．They have a brief experience of places.
D．They like calling themselves explorers.
【4】What does the author suggest in the passage?
A．Dig deep into the culture.
B．Just enjoy the trip.
C．Make a careful trip plan.
D．Do important things.
23、The elusive profound mystery of happiness could be as simple as remembering the good times and forgetting the regrets, a new university study reported yesterday. For people who look at the past through rose-tinted glasses are happier than those who focus on negative past experience and regrets, according to a new study published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences.
The study is conducive to the explanation of why personality has such a strong influence on a person’s happiness. The findings suggest that people with certain personality traits are happier than others because of the way they think about their past, present and future. The study examined how people’s ratings on the “Big Five” personality traits relate to their approach to time and life satisfaction.
The “Big Five” model assesses how extroverted, open, responsible, agreeable, and neurotic a person is, and rates individuals as high or low on each personality trait rather than assigning them a personality type. “We found that the first four kind of people are happier with their lives because they tend to hold a bright view of the past and are less likely to have negative thoughts and regrets. People high on the neurotic scale essentially have the exact opposite view of the past and are less happier as a result,” said Ryan Howell, assistant professor of psychology at San Francisco State University, who authored the study with SF State College senior Jiawei Zhang. “This is good news because though it may be difficult to change your personality, you may be able to change your view of time and boost your happiness,” Howell said.
The authors suggest that enjoying happy memories or reframing painful past experience in a positive light could be effective ways for individuals to increase their life satisfaction.
“Personality traits influence how people look at the past, present and future and it is these different perspectives on time that drive a person’s happiness,” Howell added.
【1】The underlined phrase “through rose-tinted glasses” in Para. 1 probably means “______”.
A．in a neurotic way
B．in a pessimistic way
C．in an optimistic way
D．in a disappointing way
【2】According to the passage, ______ may well improve your happiness.
A．forgetting memories
B．changing your personality
C．remembering painful past experience
D．viewing painful past memories positively
【3】What kind of people are likely to be unhappier?
A．Highly extraverted.
B．Very agreeable.
C．Rather neurotic.
D．Quite open.
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A．Personality Traits
B．Secret of Happiness
C．Past Experience Leads to Unhappiness
D．Never Let Regrets Affect Your Happiness
24、How to Stop Failing in Keeping Your New Year’s Resolution(决心)
We have an embarrassing confession: Our New Year’s resolutions for 2024 are nearly identical to those we made for 2023. 【1】 We would exercise more, use social media less, rise earlier, eat healthier, write more, learn to meditate(冥想)…
But a few weeks in, as January’s cold changed into the warmer days of February, we seemed to have largely failed. 【2】 Our warm beds held us tighter when the alarm went off for our morning jogs. And, well, meditation never had a hope.
Will we suffer the same failure this year? Absolutely not. But how this time?

If possible, team up and visit the gym or shop at the health food store together. Ask them to speak up if you slip and order a Diet Coke instead of a water, 【5】 People who tell others about their goals are more likely to accomplish them, maybe it’s because they have extra support they need, or because they’re afraid of being embarrassed if they don’t accomplish them.
