21、Last summer, Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her window and shouted, “I’m driving around giving free haircuts. Do you want one right now?” The man looked to be in his 60s. He was heavyset, balding, and missing a few teeth. He laughed, then paused. “Actually,” he said, “I have a funeral to go. I was really hoping to get a haircut.”
Few minutes later, the man, named Edward, took a seat on a red chair moved down from Steller’s car, and she trimmed his curly graying hair. He told her about growing up in Mississippi, about moving to Minnesota to be closer to his children, and how he still often phoned his mom. After Steller was done, Edward looked in a mirror. “Wow, I look good!” he grinned.
To date, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city. She is keenly aware of the power of her cleanup job. “It’s more than a haircut,” she says.
Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. One changed hers. As a teen, she suffered from a severe bowel disease and her hair thinned drastically. Seeing this, her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut.
“To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness, it helped me feel cared about and less alone,” she says. After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon. Soon after finishing cosmetology (美容) school in 2009, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people on the streets.
“Part of what broke my heart was just how lonely people looked,” she says. “I thought maybe I can’t fix their problems, but I can help them feel less alone sometimes.”

23、 I went nose-to-nose with a mouse last week, and I’d rather not say who won.
I was taking a meal to a friend recovering from an operation when my cell rang.
“There’s a dilemma,” she said, “and it involves you. My cat found a mouse and I don’t know how you feel about cats with mice, although I have the impression you are afraid of bugs.”
“Your impression is wrong,” I said. “Bugs are afraid of me. And I will get the mouse, but there may be screaming.”
The mouse was under the fridge when I arrived. The cat was standing guard, slowly swishing its tail. I tried to put a broom handle beneath the fridge to force the mouse out, but it didn’t. My friend pulled up chair at the table and I pulled chair beside the fridge, armed with a plastic box as my trap.
It was a good plan, but like most plans, it didn’t go according to plan.
As we were chatting, the mouse came out. I slammed the box down, closed my eyes and internalized a scream. However, the only thing inside the box was the mouse’s tail, still connected to the mouse, which was now spinning its little legs in an attempt to escape. More internal(体内的)screaming. The cat just sat.
Meanwhile, I had the impression my friend was going soft on the mouse. “Don’t you dare name it,” I said. “Once you name it, this is over.” The mouse climbed up on the broom handle I’d used earlier, and we were now eyeball to eyeball. If I’d wanted to-and I didn’t-I could have caught it with my teeth.
My friend handed me another box. I lowered box two over the mouse’s body, still on the broom handle, with his tail still in box one. Despite my two-box move, the mouse escaped and ran back under the fridge.
I told my friend to leave the kitchen light on and maybe the mouse would stay under the fridge and not wander into her bedroom at night.
Shortly after I left, she found the mouse. It was in her bedroom bathed in a patch of sunlight. The cat was sitting next to the mouse, soaking up the rays as well. She said they were a cute couple. Learning from my mistakes, she got a box-and a lid(盖子)-and said the mouse almost jumped in the box and help her close the lid. She threw him into a field.
His name is SHAME.
【1】What does the underlined sentence in the eighth paragraph most probably mean?
A．“Once you name the mouse, you will easily catch the mouse.”
B．“Once you name the mouse, you will find the mouse even harder to catch.”
C．“Once you name the mouse, it may take advantage of the time to escape.”
D．“Once you name the mouse, you may feel closer to it and give up catching it.”
【2】Why did the writer say: “His name is SHAME.”
A．Because the writer finally figured out the mouse’s name.
B．Because the writer found it a shame that his friend set the mouse free into a field.
C．Because the writer felt ashamed of not being able to catch the mouse himself.
D．Because once the writer named the mouse, everything was over.
【3】Why is the cat mentioned again and again in the story?
A．Because the writer is a cat-lover.
B．Because the cat plays the role of an observer in the story.
C．Because the writer tries to draw a sharp comparison between the cat and his friend.

24、 Although I had wanted to quit smoking, I never made up my mind until New Year's Day last year. I was having a terrible headache. I knew it was time to quit.
Searching for methods to quit smoking on the Internet is like searching for weight loss tips — there are thousands of different ways that are said to be the best, but not all are right for you. One approach that did draw my interest was apps. Along with cigarettes, my phone was the only other thing I couldn't leave my apartment without.
There are hundreds of apps for quitting smoking. I downloaded an app called Quit It because it was said to be good. It was free and didn't cost much time as some others. You input the amount of cigarettes you smoke, the cost per pack and the time you decide to quit smoking. The app does the math and then gives you information based on the information given by you. It tracks the amount of time since you decided to quit, the money you've saved, and the danger you've avoided. The app also includes a number of health goals.
Quitting smoking was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. Like most stories of quitting, I did get a little sick and I felt terrible, but the most difficult part was the empty feeling I was left with. Any time I felt like a cigarette, I would open the app and track the progress I had made. If I wanted to smoke while I was on the computer, I'd immediately go to stop smoking to read a success story, or to offer support to someone else having a harder time than me.
I quit smoking 1 year 2 months and 27 days ago. I did not smoke 6,771 cigarettes and saved $4,062.84.
