21、 When I tell people I wrote a book with my dad, they usually say, “It must be nice to think of the legacy (遗产) you created with someone who means 90 much to you.”
This was a beautiful idea, but it was not the way I, or my dad, ever thought about the cooperation. Though we created something we are proud of, “nice” is not the word either of us uses to describe the process.
“It was more confrontation (对抗) than cooperation,” my dad likes to say. I agree.
When we landed a book deal, we began a wring journey that was more difficult than either of us had expected, but also far more rewarding.
For almost three years, we met once or twice a week at my parents’ house and talked daily about the plan and the outline of each chapter. After the meeting, one of would write a rough draft that the other would build on. I wanted the book to focus on positive vices(不良习惯): such as moderate (适度的) chocolate. However, my dad felt the book should include chapters dealing with things like walking and sending tine with family Finally, I saw it his way. He said the book was about more than just good advices. It was about encouraging people to enjoy life in healthy ways.
Writing this book was a reminder that our family members share not only our faults but also our strengths. My dad is smart, funny, critical and caring. He has a strong passion for the truth. I hope I share these great qualities. For this book, he researched each topic with an enthusiasm 1 had never seen from him, and he insisted that we constantly question and critically analyze every piece of information-even our own conclusions. He was determined to cooperate on a book,not because he could not write one on his own, but because he believed that we could create something better together than we could alone.
I am not sure if our cooperation led to better writing, but it led to a better writing experience. Writing this book was difficult, sometimes more difficult than past projects, but it was never lonely.

D.To show that family members can share nice things.
22、One night before bed, Christine Carter was sitting with her daughter in her legs. They were making a list: “Three Good Things of the Day.” Her daughter, who was combing Carter's hair, said. “Mom, this is going to be one of my three good things.”
Making a list was their way of reflecting on things they were grateful for. It's a skill based on an expanding field of research known as the science of happiness. Carter is a sociologist at the University of California, Berkeley. She studies how schools and families can develop positive emotions and help kids lead a healthier life.
Finding the positive side doesn't mean never being sad. It means understanding that feeling sad is natural, and that it passes more quickly if we can notice the good things in life. “This is really about mental health,” Carter says. “We can practice bringing happiness to ourselves。It's like putting money in the bank. We can be ready to deal with hard times in the future.”
A key step toward happiness is learning how to describe emotions, even negative ones. Feeling blue? It's better to accept the emotion willingly than 1o ignore it. Ask yourself: “What do I feel? Where in my body am I feeling it? Does it have a color or shape?”
Expressing gratitude is also important, Carter says. Let's say you often quarrel with a brother or sister. Reflect on why you're grateful to that person. Remember the good times. This makes it likely that you'll get along better tomorrow.
But the surest way to happiness is kindness. Helping others gives life purpose, Carter says, because you are changing the world. Even more, “We feel a sense of connection and love,” she adds. “We are born to feel better in community. Our nervous system feels safe when we're connected with other people.”
【1】Which way does Carter’s daughter take to be happy?
A.Bing kind.
B.Finding the cause.
C.Expressing gratitude.
D.Describing negative emotions.
【2】What should you do with an argument with others?

B.Ignore the opposite by keeping off them.
C.Pay attention to the good things in our life.
D.Compromise with or giving in to the opposite.
【3】Which of the following sayings agrees with the author's opinion?
A.Do well and have well.
B.Every man has his weak side.
C.Happy is he who owes nothing.
D.There is kindness to be found everywhere.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.The purpose of happiness.
B.A daily list for easy life.
C.How to be happy.
D.What to do for everyone.
23、Once on a dark winter’s day, when the yellow fog hung so thick and heavy in the streets of London that the lamps were lighted and the shop windows blazed with gas as they do at night, a Little girl sat in a cab with her father and was driven rather slowly through the big thoroughfares.
She leaned against her father, who held her in his arm, as she stared out of the window at the passing people with a queer (strange, odd) old-fashioned thoughtfulness in her big eyes.
Principally, she was thinking of what a queer thing it was that at one time one was in India in the blazing sun, and then in the middle of the ocean, and then driving in a strange vehicle through strange streets where the day was as dark as the night. She found this so puzzling that she moved closer to her father.
“What is it. darling?” Captain Crewe asked, holding her closer and looking down into her face.
During her short life only one thing had troubled her, and that thing was “the place” she was to be taken to some day. The climate of India was very bad for children, and as soon as possible they were sent away from it-generally to England and to school. She bad seen other children go away, and had heard their fathers and mothers talk about the letters they received from them1. She had known that she would be obliged to go also, and though sometimes her father’s stories of the voyage and the new country had attracted her, she had been troubled by the thought that he could not stay with her.
She had liked to think of that. To keep the house for her father; to ride with him, and sit at the head of his table when he had dinner parties; to talk to him and read his books - that would be what she would like most in the world, and if one must go away to “the place“ in England to attain it, she must make up her mind to go. She did not care very much for other little girls, but if she had plenty of books she could console herself.
It was a big, dull, brick house, exactly like all the others in its row, but that on the front door there shone a brass plate on which was engraved in black letters:
MISS MINCHIN, Select Seminary for Young Ladies.
“I don’t like it, papa, ” she said. “But then I dare say soldiers - even brave ones-don’t really like going into battle. ” Sara stood quietly, with her eyes fixed upon Miss Minchin’s face. She was thinking something odd, as usual.
【1】What can we learn from the story?
A.Sara was bothered by her departure from her father.
B.Sara was about to be sent to London for a completely new life.
C.Sara was thinking of a way to escape being sent to a foreign country.
D.Sara was persuaded to receive further education in a prestigious school.
【2】What does the underlined word “console“ in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A.entertain
B.occupy
C.comfort
D.improve
【3】What does Sara probably think of her’ future in the new place?
A.She didn’t mind living with other girls.
B.She hated the idea of living independently.
C.She was positive about the new life at school.
D.She was confident to adapt to the new environment.
【4】Which of the following writing skills is employed in the text?
A.The author compares Sara’s bravery to that of the soldiers.
B.The description of the surroundings is to add horror to the story.
C.The image of Sara is depicted through appearance and language.
D.Body language is employed to show the character’s state of mind.
24、Several tourist attractions in the UK
Lundy Island, Devon
The global pandemic has brought a big blow to many scenic spots, including Lundy Island. Thanks to 2, 271 supporters, Lundy Island has collected an incredible £214, 000 fund which helps safeguard the island's future. As a tiny island off the coast of Devon, it is home to less than 30 people and dotted with historic buildings.
A four-night stay: £123 per person.
Snowdonia, Wales
No one wants to be queuing to reach the top of Snowdon (the highest mountain in Wales), but there are other ways to explore this National Park, and its surrounding countryside. You can spend the night in a tent suspended above the waves, which gives you an extraordinary sea view. Or push your heart rate up by taking a rock-climbing course.
Cliff camping: £200 per person per day (a 20%, discount for a group of at least two people).
Climbing: £60 per person per day.
Norfolk
You can keep social distance in Norfolk: this wide, flat county feels vast and wonderfully empty even in the height of summer. Head to Holkham Beach for sandy space, rent a canal boat and explore the Broads in daytime and book yourself for a night in the new hotel, The Harper in Langham, which was just opened up in this spring.
A one-night stay in The Harper: £75 per person.
Salford, Manchester
A big city might not seem like the best place to head for if you’re after the beauty of nature, but Manchester will be just the place thanks to the opening of RHS Bridgewater.
