21、Everyone can be angry. But if you take the time to actually examine your anger instead of just “feeling" angry, you'll have a better understanding of yourself. Knowing why you feel so angry can provide you with some surprising answers. These answers can enable you to suddenly grow spiritually and mentally.
I can give you a personal example. I went to a meeting once and I was verbally（口头地）attacked over an application I supported at my workplace. Various people went on and on about how terrible this system was and that it never worked. That didn't bother me that much. I was used to that but one of the comments that was said was, "Your job is pointless. ” This really upset me and at the time, I was absolutely furious （发怒的）with that comment.
I was so angry and upset that they would treat me that way. Once I took the time to think about what was really making me so mad, I learned a lot. I realized that the comment was more true than I wanted to admit. In the big scheme of things, my job was pointless. It wasn't what I really wanted to be doing with my life and this was what frustrated me the most. Here I was pouring part of my heart and soul into a job I didn't even really want to do. I was using it as a crutch （拐杖）because I didn't have the confidence in myself to take the scary road towards what I really wanted to do. As soon as I realized that, a lot of my anger just melted away. I also realized that I needed to start focusing on what I really wanted to do.
I now consider this incident as a great gift. It got me back on track to moving in the direction I wanted to go with my life. I probably wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't taken the time to figure out why I was really so angry.
【1】Why did the author feel angry at the meeting?
A．Because the system of the company was terrible.
B．Because someone said his work was worthless.
C．Because the policy of the company didn't work.
D．Because the application he supported was of no effect.
【2】What brought down the anger of the author?
A．The apology someone made at the meeting.
B．The crutch he used to take the scary road.
C．The awareness of the fact that the comment was true.
D．The courage he had to overcome the challenges.
【3】What made the author consider the incident as a gift?
A．It provided him with confidence in the meeting.
B．It helped him get promoted to a higher position.
C．It helped him change his character since then.
D．It brought him back on track to the goal.
【4】What can be the best title of the passage?
A．How to Cope with Verbal Attack in a Company
B．Avoid Being Pointless at Work
C．Understanding Yourself Better Through Anger
D．Anger Is Harmful to Health
22、The winter solstice(冬至)is an important solar term in the traditional Chinese calendar, and means the coming of winter. It generally occurs between December 21st and 23rd. According to the traditional Chinese calendar, one year is divided into twenty-four solar terms. On this day, in the northern hemisphere the period of daytime is the shortest of the year and the period of night is the longest.
In northern China there is a custom of eating dumplings during the winter solstice. The tradition of eating dumplings during the winter solstice has its origin in early times. It is said that dumplings were invented by Zhang Zhongjing, a well-known doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
One winter, he noticed that many people's ears were frostbitten, which made him sad. In order to prevent and cure the freezing injury caused by cold, he asked his followers to boil mutton, chilies and other ingredients with medicinal properties in a pot for fending off cold. After these were boiled, they ladled(舀)the mutton and other ingredients out of the pot, cut them into pieces, and then wrapped them in dough skins in the shape of ears. Afterwards, they put these into the pot to boil again.
On the day of the winter solstice, people whose ears were frostbitten were sent to eat the dumplings. People who ate dumplings felt warm from head to toe and had their cold injury healed. Thereafter, people ate dumplings every winter solstice. Then it became a custom that if you eat dumplings during the winter solstice, your ears won't get frostbite.
Afterwards, Zhang Zhongjing died on the day of the winter solstice. In order to honour him, every year on the day of the winter solstice every household makes dumplings.

24、For many workers trying to lose weight, the weekend is a chance to do some exercise and eat something healthier than a supermarket sandwich at their desk. But some slimmers take a slightly different approach — consuming more than half their weekly calorie intake from Friday night to Sunday.
Away from the daily routine at work that helps them keep control of what they eat, they are snacking and drinking their way to a shocking 10,000 calories, a survey has found. Almost three-quarters of people trying to lose weight admit to over-eating at the weekend. A meal with friends or family, complete with alcohol, as well as a late-night snack before bed, can lead to adults consuming up to 3,500 calories in one day, a survey found. Men typically need 2,500 calories a day and women 2,000 calories. Consuming this amount would see men and women get through half their weekly calorie intake over the course of a ‘bad’ weekend.
Women were found to eat less on a Sunday because of guilt over their consumption over the previous two days. Men had fewer doubts about a third day of excess.
The biggest weekend diet danger comes from snacking between meals, the survey found. Some say they will often spend Saturday night in front of the TV with their families — combining watching their favorite shows with crisps and biscuits. And seven in ten people admitted to having fattening takeaways at weekends, with pizza the most popular. Alcohol is another big factor in weekend bingeing．Around 70 percent still like to have a roast on a Sunday or a big meal with family or friends and a third of those will have second helpings.
A spokesman from Forza Supplements, the diet company that conducted the survey, said, “We all have bad weekends where we have a lot of fun, but dieting goes out of the window.”
The 5:2 diet is becoming increasingly popular — where we limit our calories for five days and allow ourselves a few treats on the other two days.
“For many people, the two days off are Saturday and Sunday but they go way too far”
【1】Which kind of weekend diet does the greatest harm?
A. Having a big meal with family and friends.
B. Drinking a lot.
C. Having fattening takeaways
D. Snacking between the meals.
【2】According to the passage, those who try to lose weight _______.
A. intake more calories on weekdays than on weekends
B. get their efforts to lose weight ruined by over-eating on weekends
C. always have bad weekends due to their intention to lose weight
D. keep wide aware of their desire to lose weight by keeping a strict diet
【3】What is the main idea of the text?
A. Weekends are vital for diets.
B. What the 5:2 diet is.
C. The proper way to lose weight.
D. People’s weekly calorie intake is changing.
