21、How to Learn English in High School
If you are a high school student, or will be going into high school soon, it is important to know English so you can take full advantage of your education. Learning this language is a challenge.【1】
Take part in an English as a Second Language (ESL) class. Most high schools and middle schools offer ESL classes for free.【2】Not only does it provide a professional teacher to help you with your English learning, but you will be able to communicate with other students and help each other along your English learning journey.
Speak with native English speakers as often as possible.【3】Although having a conversation in English may seem frightening when you first begin learning, getting over that fear and having conversations in English will help to speed up your learning process.
【4】Read your favorite books in English, watch English television programs and movies, and listen to English music. The more you put yourself in English environment, the better you will understand the language as well as the culture of the English-speaking countries.
Record yourself speaking English,【5】So it's better to record yourself，play back the recording and take notes of what you need to improve. When you record yourself, you can read a paragraph from a book newspaper, or high school textbook written in English.
A．This class is an important resource.
B．Make all forms of activities a learning experience.

D．Do the best you can to keep the conversation flowing.
E．You probably won’t catch your mistakes while you’re speaking.
F．But with a few ways，you can learn English easily in high school.
G．A useful way to learn a language is chatting with native speakers.
22、Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.
My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.
I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you”. When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realised that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.
I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right,or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.
【1】Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule?
A．Start the car the moment everyone is seated.
B．Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.
C．Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.

【2】The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to .
A．keep her appointment with the eye doctor
B．meet her father who was already an old man
C．join in the holiday celebration of the company
D．finish her work before the deadline approached
【3】How does the author buy herself peace of mind?
A．By keeping herself busy.
B．By always doing the urgent thing.
C．By accompanying her parents every day and night.
D．By doing everything possible to avoid something unpleasant.
23、Everyone has got two personalities – the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behavior, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You’re very stubborn, but you aren’t very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
If you sleep on curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so it is easy for you to get angry. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You’re easily hurt.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weakness. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get upset. You always say what you think even if it makes people angry.
【1】According to the writer, you naturally show your secret and real personality _______.
A. only in a normal night

A. He or she would rather be alone than communicate with you
B. He or she is rarely ready to help you
C. He or she prefers staying at home to going out
D. He or she wouldn’t like to get help from you
【3】It appears that the writer tends to think highly of the person who sleeps on one side because _______.

24、While it may be commonplace, snubbing one’s friends can have serious impacts on relationships, and there are a variety of factors that may drive individuals to ignore their friends in favor of an electronic screen, according to a new University of Georgia study.
The study reveals positive associations between depression and social anxiety and increasing snubbing: depressed people are likely to snub their friends more frequently, and socially anxious people, who prefer online social interactions, might also exhibit more snubbing behavior. These people are really sensitive to their messages. With each buzz or sound, they consciously or unconsciously look at their phones. The device’s various applications are key drivers contributing to this dynamic.
The finding also shows that agreeable individuals have a lower instance of snubbing in the presence of their friends. People who have agreeableness as a personality feature tend to show cooperative, polite and friendly behaviors in their interpersonal relationships and social settings. Though agreeable people may prioritize strong friendships, an exploratory study reveals they are also more likely to turn to phones in the presence of three or more people.
That dynamic may influence the spread of snubbing in the context of a work environment. “It’s ironic that while so many people believe that snubbing behavior is rude, they still do it,” Sun said. “A majority of people snub others, and in a group, it may seem OK, because it’s just me, the speaker doesn’t notice I’m using the phone. The number of people in a group can be one reason.”
Alternately, disabling or turning over a phone can indicate a show of respect for a situation and focus on a person. That, too, is a signal—I am listening to what you are saying and I am focusing on you.

【4】Why do some people continue snubbing behavior even if they know it’s rude?
A．The majority are using phones.
B．They don’t like the environment.
C．The speaker doesn’t care about it.
D．They think they will go unnoticed.
【5】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．How snubbing behaviors can be avoided
