21、 It looks like 2017 is shaping up to be a record-breaking year in movie History. Here is a list of some of the year’s biggest blockbusters so far.
Kong: Skull Island
A reboot (重启) of King Kong would normally get laughed at in this day and age, but it looks like this modem version of the story will be worth watching. With US actress Brie Larson and UK actor Tom Hiddleston in the mix, this film is set to be this year’s biggest monster tale.
Release Date: 3/10/17
Beauty and the Beast
Director Bill Condon is bringing back a part of our childhood in live action, complete with the songs we all remember and love. With British stars Emma Watson and Dan Stevens leading the cast, the classic Walt Disney story already sounds like it’ll be a delight for both children and adults.
Release Date: 3/17/17
The Fate of the Furious
There was doubt that we’d even get a Fast 8, especially after the fitting ending US actor Paul Walker’s character was given at the end of Furious 7. Fans thought they’d never see Dom and the rest of the crew back in action, but thankfully, US star Vin Diesel himself confirmed that The Fate of the Furious is fueling up for another go.
Release Date: 4/14/17
Spider-Man: Homecoming
Spider Man is heading home to Marvel Studios for the first time. The movie will show us Peter Parker’s high school days, and will continue the threads we saw formed during his initial appearance in Captain America: Civil War. We know that Michael Keaton is playing The Vulture in this story, and that both Happy Hogan and Tony Stark, played by US actors Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr., are along for the ride.

22、We need to fail—failure is how we learn. If we never fail at anything, we probably haven't learned all that life has to teach us. 【1】
Don't criticize yourself for trying and never stop trying.
Trying or learning something new is often half the battle. Babies don't give up until they learn to walk. If you really want to change some behavior or learn to do something new, don't give up trying. 【2】, although you may get depressed by the lack of progress sometimes.
Understand the power of optimism.
While optimism is the ‘new happiness’, there is a certain power in optimistic thinking whether you believe it or not. Putting yourself in a more optimistic mindset(心态) can open you up to more possibilities.
Learn to rely on yourself first, then others.
Those who are self-reliant are also usually more resilient—meaning they can bounce back from problems, stress and heartbreak more quickly than those who aren't. 【3】—just become your own best friend, do everything that you can possibly do for yourself, and learn what your strengths and weaknesses are.
Don't look back.
【4】. But in fact, there's nothing back there to see. Spend just 10 percent more of your time looking forward to what life holds for you in the future, and I suspect you'll find yourself in a better position.
Failure is a normal and natural pan of life that is neither good nor bad---it's just how we learn.【5】, but how quickly you can accept your failure, learn something from it and try again.
A. We should cherish today
B. But how can we avoid failure?
C. But what can help us when we fail?
D. So the question is not whether you fail or not
E. If you give up, your progress will come to an end
F. Becoming more self-reliant is easier than it sounds
G. We spend too much of our adult lives looking back.
23、It was the first snow of winter – an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up until now, I had been old enough to dress myself, but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, had been through first snow days many times, but I think she may still remember this one.
I managed to get into my wool snow trousers. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots.
In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence.
I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected grown-ups to do all the work. After much pushing, she managed to get the first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.
I announced, “They’re on the wrong feet.”
She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.
“They’re my brother’s boots, you know,” I said. “I hate them!”
Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying little girl, She pushed and pushed, less gently this time. With a greater sigh, seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked, “Now, where are your mittens（连指手套）?”
I looked into her eyes and said, “I didn’t want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots.”
【1】 The little girl was more satisfied with her__________.
A．trousers B．jacket C．boots D．hat
【2】 Miss Finlayson had difficulty with the girl’s second boot mainly because_____.
A．the girl got them from her brother
B．the girl put something in them
C．they were on the wrong feet
D．they did not fit the girl well
【3】 Why does the author say Miss Finlayson would remember that first snow day?
A．Because the little girl was in her brother’s clothes.
B．Because it was the most exciting day of the winter.
C．Because the little girl played a trick on her.
D．Because the little girl wore a pretty scarf.
24、 In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh (法老) treated the message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.
Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out of the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh, boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, but for his smile.
Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile. “Oh, that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of head-cutting!
It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should care the feeling of the receiver.
Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you are tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet? When you have your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as a traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.
Had my neighbour told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh, that’s all right. I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they hear bad news,deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded (被轰炸的) person is sure to have.

The Lost Ball
One day Kaya and I were playing with the ball and the ball went into Taku's house. Though we were scared, we went to his house and asked him if he could return our ball.
He said “No”. We felt helpless. Suddenly, I had an idea. There was a water tank（水箱）behind Taku's house. I looked at it and said, "Kaya, look at this. We can climb up the water tank and jump over the gate."
Kaya agreed, but we were both wearing skirts. We couldn't climb with that.
"It doesn't matter. We can come tomorrow. Don't forget to wear pants." said Kaya.
“Bye,” I said and went home.
The next day I went to Kaya's house early. We were both wearing pants.
"Best of luck!" said Kaya's brother Vijay who knew everything.
He said, “Shout loudly if you need me.”
We went to the water tank. "Who will climb first?" asked Kaya.
“You!” I said.
She agreed.
She climbed down into Taku's house. I followed her and then we were looking under a bed for the ball when we heard a noise.
It was Vijay. “Mother is calling you,” he whispered（悄声地说）.
We hurried and took out the lost ball. But along with the ball was a gold bar! We quickly took both the ball and the gold bar and climbed up the water tank again. When we reached Kaya's house, the TV was on. It was news time.
