21、 I have been studying literature all the time, so someone asked me if l made the wrong choice by devoting myself to studying literature. I was deep in thought.
A good friend of mine took every single literature class she could while in college and decided early on that she wasn't cut out to be a teacher. Her parents were concerned because she wasn't really focused on becoming something that would pay the bills. In order to mollify their concerns, she took a library science course and told them she would regard library science as a career path. But she ended up taking a job as a communications assistant at a mid-size company and eventually became the director of communications. She put her literature studies to work in making company materials and has benefited a lot from that.
Another friend turned his love of Hemingway’s writings into inspiration for his artworks. Most people don’t stay at one job for their entire career. I can’t tell you how many teachers I worked with over the years give up teaching to paint houses, work in an advertising company, start a company, and so on. A degree is important for many places to get your foot in the door. But I think you should choose your job based on what you're really interested in,and no one says you have to do something for the rest of your work life.
Colleges generally don’t clue you in on the possible career paths available to you with your particular studies, but some are getting far better with guiding students toward the possibilities.Your reading, writing and analytical skills would be great advantages to many companies, so don’t think that your love of literature is going to leave you with few choices. So I didn’t feel sad to devote myself to studying literature.
【1】What does the underlined word “mollify” mean?
A.Express. B.Relieve.
C.Deepen. D.Realize.
【2】What does the author want to say by mentioning his friends?
A.Learning literature is good for one’s later careers.
B.Most people have a negative attitude towards literature.
C.His friends both disliked the career connected with literature.
D.College majors(主修课) have nothing to do with career choices.
【3】Which of the following does the author probably agree with?
A.Change your jobs frequently. B.Stay at one job for all your life.
C.Love whatever job you take up. D.Choose your job by your interest.
【4】From the passage, we can learn that the author _______________.
A.didn’t regret studying literature all the time
B.had a negative attitude towards literature learning
C.thought that love for literature held the key to career paths
D.thought that colleges should design career paths for students
22、Like many schools worldwide, the pandemic forced Safe Passage to address an issue it’s been debating for years: how to best integrate (使……完整,使……整体) online or remote learning into its education plans. 【1】 But the area’s lack of internet access, as well as security concerns like theft, make distributing technology for students to learn at home a daunting (令人怯步的) task.
Holland says students will be at a disadvantage in today’s workplace if they don’t have access to digital tools. 【2】
“Blended learning is a combination between technology and face-to-face classroom learning,” says Holland. “It’s not a bolt-on solution. If you see technology as this cool thing you just bolt on to an existing curriculum, you are in big trouble.”
Jean-Francois agrees.
“A lot of grants will include purchasing laptops or tablets. But education is a lot more complex,” she says. “【3】 We can’t just assume that if we give them a tablet and instructions, they are going to know how to use it, and we shouldn’t expect they are going to know how to effectively teach children with it.”
【4】 But Johnson, the Rotarian who helps clubs design education grants, cautions against moving too quickly to “reinvent education.”
“We need to figure it out, but figure it out one step at a time,” says Johnson. “You have to know what people are able to accept and use — cognitively, socially, and emotionally. Determine that, then move forward.”
A.Most remote learning involves technology like tablets.
B.The Rotary clubs raise money to buy tablets and pack the items for delivery.
C.With the unpredictability of the pandemic, many schools will be making the same kind of decisions in the coming year.
D.At the same time, students benefit most when technology is integrated into the entire curriculum, not just provided through a mass distribution of laptops.
E.We need to use this time and lean into developing teachers in new ways we haven’t thought of before.
F.Students have formed small groups to share smartphones with others who don’t have one.
23、Top-Rated Attractions in Australia

24、I tend to go slowly when I drive in the mountains of my home, because the forest scenery is beautiful no matter what the season. This morning I was driving slower than usual because an early March snow had turned the roads slippery. Going up a mountain road, I had to slow down as I rounded a sharp, snowy curve (弯道). That was when I saw a majestic buck deer (公鹿) standing in the middle of the road. I came to a full stop and for a few seconds we just stared at each other. His eyes seemed wise and his composure (镇静) refined. Finally, he nodded his head at me. I nodded in return and motioned with my hand for him to go on. He then leapt across the road, up the hill, and back into the woods. I drove on smiling at the magic of this moment and thanked that I had been going slowly enough not to hit this beautiful creature.
Most of us rush through this life not knowing what we are missing. We rarely get to enjoy what each day brings us. Wouldn’t it be better to go slowly through our days here? Life is meant to be savored. Moments are meant to be cherished. Days are meant to be lived in love and joy not flown through at a frantic (疯狂的) speed.
The next time you find yourself going too fast, slow down. Take the time to watch the sun rise over the horizon and fill the world with light. Take the time to look your children in their eyes, hug them, and tell them that you love them. Take the time to smile, laugh, and sing. Take the time to read, lounge (闲逛), and relax. Take the time to live your life with love and delight in all the miracles each day brings you. If you do, your life will be so much better and more beautiful. And you might even end up not hitting a deer on your way home.
