21、Christmas was near a season that we took seriously in our house. But a week or so before the 25th, my father would give each of his children $20. This was the 1970s, and $20 was quite a bit of money.
But I saw it differently. My father trusted me to have the smartness to money wisely. Even better, he gave me the means to get it. On a very basic level, my father was giving me a shopping spree （狂欢） every year. But he was also giving me charge over my own fun, trusting my ability to manage money and making me feel like a grown-up. He didn't buy me Sherlock Holmes, but he gave me the means to walk into the bookstore and choose it for myself, so it felt like a gift from him.
My mother had a gift for giving me what I needed, usually right at the moment I needed it most. This was when I was 25. I failed at being an adult on my very first try. I had quitted my previous job but had no new one. But when my mother paid me a visit, I put on a good show, telling her I had started my own company.
My mother knew that I was trying hard and failing at that time. It wasn't until after she left that I noticed at the foot of my bed an envelope thick with cash. She knew how desperately I needed it. She knew that had she just shown up with groceries, or offered to pay my rent, she would have made me feel much worse. The cold, hard cash meant she was helping me. And, funnily enough, the distance with which she gave the gift felt like she was giving me space to fix my life and preserve my dignity (尊严).My mother and father both did the same thing. One was giving me the means to take my own decisions, and the other was giving me a second chance when those decisions had cost me dearly.

22、Preparing for exams? Give yourself the best chance with these study tips,and try not to let the stress get to you! Remember:you've got this.
Give yourself enough time to study. 【1】While some students do seem to succeed depending on last-minute hard-work, it's widely accepted that this is not the best way. To help sort out your time management, set up a timetable for your study and organize it accordingly.
Use flow charts and diagrams.【2】 At the start of a topic, challenge yourself to write down everything you already know about a topic-and then highlight where the gaps lie. Closer to the exam,simplify your revision notes into one-page diagrams, which can help you to quickly recall everything you need during the exam.
Explain your answers to others. Take advantage of your parents and little brothers and sisters around exam time. Explain an answer to a question to them. 【3】
【4】You may think it's best to study for as many hours as possible. However, this can turn out to be the opposite. Studies have shown that for long-term memory of knowledge, taking regular breaks really helps.
Plan your exam day.【5】Don't leave it to the day before to suddenly realize you don't know the way, or what you're supposed to bring. Check all the rules and requirements, and plan your route and journey time. If possible, do a test run of the trip. If not, write down clear directions.
A．Take regular breaks.
B．Think about what works for you.
C．Don't leave it until the last minute.
D．Avoid developing any study routine.
E．That will help you to get it clear in your head.
F．Visual aids can be really helpful when revising.
G．Get everything ready well in advance of the exam.
23、A trip to Paris is not complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower. To get the most out of your visit read our tips below:
Visit at Night
Riding up the Eiffel Tower at night and looking out over the streets of Paris, you’ll see why Paris is known as the “City of Light”. At street level, the spotlights on the top of the Tower and the reflections (倒影) of the Tower in the Seine (塞纳河) are sights not to be missed.
Purchase (购买) Your Ticket in Advance Online
Avoid the long ticket lines at the Eiffel Tower by purchasing your ticket online from the Eiffel Tower website.
You’ll pick a time to visit and then select whether to print out the ticket or display it on your phone or iPad, a convenient choice if you buy your ticket in Paris without a printer.
Don’t Bring Valuable Objects with You
Before entering the Eiffel Tower, your bags will be examined by a security officer. If an item you are carrying sets off the metal detector, the officer will take you away from the line for further inspection. Probably you will miss the chance to go up the Eiffel Tower.
Have Drinks and Snacks at the Eiffel Tower
If you’re like us, after an exciting trip to the Eiffel Tower, you’ll be ready to rest your legs and have a relaxing snack and a drink in a Parisian cafe. Across the Seine in the Trocadero area, there are many elegant cafes. The atmosphere is great, but the prices are in the stratosphere (极高水平). Actually, the perfect place for common visitors to eat and drink is on the Eiffel Tower itself.
【1】Why does the author suggest visiting the Eiffel Tower at night?
A．Because you can have special sights of the city of Pairs.

24、For many Americans, regular exercise is a complicated commitment—one made at the beginning of January that fades out within weeks or months. Busy work schedules, a lack of motivation and unease towards exercising in public all contribute to the discouraging statistics that only around a quarter of adults exercise enough per week.
This month, enterptiser Trent Ward and designer Yves Behar are uncovering their design for a mirror fitness system, Forme. Forme is reflective like a mirror, uses machine learning to heighten workouts, and offers attachments including ankle belts, rope handles and a heart rate monitor. When not in use, the two arms that form the resistance pulley (滑轮) system fold behind it and the display screen disappears, turning Forme into a simple full—length mirror.
Interest in home exercise has particularly increased recently around the world. Home workout apps have seen a significant uptick in downloads, and trendy brands like Peloton have rolled out free virtual workouts for everyone stuck indoors. One French athlete who was kept away from others chose to run an entire marathon on his 23-foot balcony.
But beyond the new restrictions affecting daily workout routines, Ward and Behar are tapping into the same concerns that have made every home workout appealing：the ability to save time and sweat in the privacy of one’s home. In an age of personal metrics (衡量标准)--where one can measure their heart rate and sleep cycles with smart watches and train for marathons with AI smart sneakers----Ward and Behar want to improve exercise through machine learning. Forme evaluates performance and adjusts weights accordingly. Easy access to one’s own performance data also makes it easier to track that progress and stay motivated.
Though it’s too soon to tell if mirror gyms will be the trend of the late 2010s to 2020s, Behar explained that having a screen in the home can become the basis for more than just fitness, such as shopping or telemedicine.
【1】What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on?.
A．The ways to operate Forme.
B．The features of Forme.
C．The reasons to develop Forme.
D．The theory behind Forme.
【2】How can Peloton benefit its users?
A．By offering them online workouts for free.
B．By raising their interest in marathon.
C．By keeping them far away from others.
D．By entertaining them with all kinds of downloads.
【3】What makes home workout appealing according to paragraph 4?
A．The better results than outdoor activities.
B．The fresher air at home.
C．The privacy of home.
D．The convenient access to mass data.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Can Forme Have More Powerful Functions?
B．Does Regular Exercise Keep up with New Technology?
C．Is the New Trend of Smart Machines at Home available?
D．Is this AI—Powered "Mirror Gym" the Future of Home Exercise?

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last Saturday, David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about eight years old. When David passed them, he heard the woman yell. “How stupid you are! You’re good at nothing.” David stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset.
David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs Brown in middle school. After he entered a middle school, David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which David behaved. But one day it all changed.
One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading it. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day, to his surprise, the comment “well done” from Mrs Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written. When David read that, he almost burst into tears. He never expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some self-confidence.
That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Brown the next morning. And again he was praised. David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Brown to read them and correct them for him. Mrs Brown always corrected the mistakes he had made and gave him good advice to improve writing skills. One year later, David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence, and was hopeful about his future.
He succeeded in entering a college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published. With some more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs Brown’s encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy.
