21、 It’s not easy to step out of your comfort zone. In fact, it’s scary. But at the same time, you’ll experience and learn amazing things. So you need to step out of your comfort zone and experience new cultures abroad. 【1】 You’re exposed to different languages, smells, colors, sights, sounds, and people. If you’re not convinced yet, read on.
It’s a big world out there. 【2】 When you live in another country, you can open your eyes to the beliefs and values of other people. You will discover new social norms (规范) and lifestyles. It will not only change your perspective(观点), but it will reshape your personality as well.
【3】 Who doesn’t want to have a second language under their belt? Learning a second language will give you the ability to step inside the mind of a culture and see things from a whole new perspective. It’ll also give you an advantage in the job market. Being in a foreign country helps you learn a new language much faster.
Don’t you want to greatly improve your development as a person? Traveling to a different country and experiencing a new culture allows that. Exposure to multi-cultures or diversity will lead to a better judgment. 【4】 You will also learn fun skills such as cooking among others.

List your tasks in terms of importance. 【3】 To-do lists are a great tool, but organize them a little rather than just writing down everything that needs to get done. Group tasks in terms of importance.

23、The food chain is the order in which animals and plants eat each other in order to survive. Every living creature(生物) needs to eat other creatures below it. Every ecosystem(生态系统) has a different food chain, depending on which animals and plants live there.
The lowest part of the food chain are the plants. They are called producers because they produce their own food by using the sunlight's energy. This process is called photosynthesis(光合作用). Animals are the consumers(消费者) of the food chain.They eat other plants and animals.
Some animals only eat plants.Among this group of herbivores are rabbits,mice and cows. Carnivores are animals that eat other animals,like wolves,foxes and lions.
Each food chain has a predator,the strongest animal that is not eaten by others. Hawks or polar bears are such predators that dominate(支配)their habitats.
Many creatures belong to more than one food chain. Grass,for example,is eaten by many other animals. Food chains that are connected to each other are called food webs.
When an animal dies it is eaten up by worms,bacteria(细菌) and other organisms. These so-called decomposers break down dead animals and plants into small parts and enrich soil so that other plants can grow better. The nutrients of dead animals and plants are converted(转换) back to the soil so that plants can use them again.
The balance of plants and animals within a food chain is determined by nature. For example,if there are too many zebras in an area, many of them will die because they cannot get enough food to feed on. This also means that there is less food for predators, like lions, to eat. And when there are fewer lions the zebra population will grow again.
【1】What does the food chain of a certain ecosystem depend on?
A. Which animals and plants live there.
B. Whether animals and plants eat each other.

24、A small boy sat on the street with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “ I am blind, please help”. There were only a few coins in the hat.
A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were.
The boy recognized his footsteps and asked :“Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?” The man said: “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.”
What he had written was: “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
