21、Failing Is Better than Not Trying at All
Do you remember the last time you tried something new and failed?【1】Failure is an important part of learning and growing. Don’t immediately give up — try as much as you can. Here are several realizations that can help push you to try more.
【2】You can be filled with thoughts of what could have happened if you had only decided to try. Something good could have happened, and you will never know unless you try.
Sure, there are a lot of uncertainties that come when trying something new. 【3】 However, not every result is unpleasant from doing something. You have to work hard and be patient if you want positive results.
Repeated failures can be very discouraging. But you don’t become a complete loser just because you failed. 【4】Every failure can show what doesn’t work so that you can try something different next time.
Trying something new and different can be risky. Your time and efforts can be wasted when nothing happens. 【5】Some of the most significant gains can only be made by taking risky strategies.
It takes time to achieve success and your goal, but when you have tried everything available and nothing had happened, this is the only time you should give up and stop trying.
A.If so, don’t worry.
B.So you never know if you can be successful or not.
C.There are several reasons why you may fear failures.
D.However, we won’t know if something fruitful can occur unless we try.
E.Having a solid support system can also help you build confidence in taking risks.
F.An excellent way to help somebody keep moving forward is to treat each failure as a life lesson.
G.Perhaps the most important thing you don’t want to experience from not trying is regret later in your life.
22、I’ve been wondering how kids themselves, especially young ones, define(定义) play. It turns out that there have been quite a few research studies in which young children are asked in various ways to distinguish between play and not play. In a review of 12 such studies, Natasha Goodhall and Cathy Atkinson (2019) concluded that even very young children have a rather clear idea of the difference between play and non-play. Most important for the present discussion, a key characteristic of play for children is that it is chosen and directed by the children themselves.
As one example of such a study, Justine Howard and her colleagues (2006) showed children pictures of other kids involved in various activities and asked them to judge each as “play” or “not play.” It turned out that the most reliable indicator for the children was the presence or absence of an adult. If an adult (generally seen to be a teacher) was present, the activity was most often judged as “not play,” even if the children looked happy and involved. Children were also more likely to judge an activity as play if there was more than one child involved than if a single child was doing something alone.
Howard and her colleagues (2006) also reviewed previous research on children’s understanding of play and concluded that, all in all, children consider an activity to be play if it (a) is controlled by the children, (b) is enjoyable, (c) has no preset goal, and (d) involves pretense. Yay! This list matches reasonably well with the list I generated based on the work of other play researchers and my own observations. I’m apparently not too far off the mark.
Unfortunately, many education specialists who have heard that play is good for children’s learning don’t understand what play is. They develop “play-based learning” programs that go against the first characteristic of play because they are chosen and set up by the teacher and are more-or-less forced upon the children rather than freely chosen by them. Once the first characteristic is destroyed, the others are also generally destroyed.
I think it is hard for teachers to provide much real play for children, because that means giving up control. Moreover, stepping back and letting the children do their own thing may look like laziness or negligence(疏忽) to adult observers.
【1】Which of the following is more likely to be regarded as play by children?
A.Activities filled with joys and sorrows.
B.Activities directed by children themselves.
C.Activities with the company of their parents.
D.Activities set up and monitored by a teacher.
【2】What does the underlined sentence “I’m apparently not too far off the mark” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.I am opposed to the mark.
B.I am in the wrong direction.
C.My finding is close to the truth.
D.My mark is beyond imagination.
【3】What is the problem with “play-based learning” programs?
A.Children can not choose them freely.
B.The benefits of the programs are ignored.
C.Not all the children are involved in the activities.
D.What children do goes against the rules of the games.
【4】What does the text mainly talk about?
A.How children define play.
B.Why play matters for children.
C.How specialists design play-based learning.
D.Why play-based learning is important to children.
23、The goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism, including a detailed exploration of what it asks and why it works, and then to teach you how to adopt this philosophy if you decide it’s right for you.
To do so, I divided the book into two parts. In part one, I describe the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism, starting with an examination of the forces that are making so many people’s digital lives increasingly intolerable, before moving on to a detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy.
Part one concludes by introducing my suggested method for adopting this philosophy: the digital declutter. This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days. At the end of the thirty days, you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value.
In the final chapter of part one, I’ll guide you through carrying out your own digital declutter. In doing so, I’ll draw on an experiment I ran in 2018 in which over 1,600 people agreed to perform a digital declutter. You’ll hear these participants’ stories and learn what strategies worked well for them, and what traps they encountered that you should avoid.
The second part of this book takes a closer look at some ideas that will help you cultivate (培养) a sustainable digital minimalism lifestyle. In these chapters, I examine issues such as the importance of solitude (独处) and the necessity of cultivating high-quality leisure to replace the time most now spend on mindless device use. Each chapter concludes with a collection of practices, which are designed to help you act on the big ideas of the chapter. You can view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle that works for your particular circumstances.
【1】What is the book aimed at?
A.Teaching critical thinking skills.
B.Advocating a simple digital lifestyle.
C.Solving philosophical problems.
D.Promoting the use of a digital device.
【2】What does the underlined word “declutter” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Clear-up.
B.Add-on.
C.Check-in.
D.Take-over.
【3】What is presented in the final chapter of part one?
A.Theoretical models.
B.Statistical methods.
C.Practical examples.
D.Historical analyses.
【4】What does the author suggest readers do with the practices offered in part two?
A.Use them as needed.
B.Recommend them to friends.
C.Evaluate their effects.
D.Identify the ideas behind them.
24、Beijing has become the first city ever to hold both Summer and Winter Olympic Games after hosting the 2022 Winter Olympics with co-host city Zhangjiakou, bringing snow and ice sports into public spotlight. Now, let’s take a look at some of the most popular events in the Winter Olympic Games.
Figure skating
Figure skating is one of the most popular sports at the Winter Olympics, in which ice skaters, singly or in pairs, perform freestyle movements of jumps, spins, lifts, and footwork in an elegant manner. The figure skating competition is one of the fiercest(最激烈的) at the Winter Olympics — one slight error, and a competitor’s chance of a medal goes up in smoke. To win the game, the skater has to perform without errors.
Curling
Curling is one of the most unique sports at the Winter Olympics — a winter sport played by two teams of four players on a rectangular sheet of ice. The two teams take turns to slide(滑动) large round flat stones towards a target. Members of each team use brooms to sweep the surface of the ice in the path of the stone to control its speed and direction. And while curling may be a “slow” sport, it’s still full of skill, suspense and excitement!
Snowboarding
Snowboarding is a popular winter sport that involves sliding downhill on snow with a snowboard firmly attached to a rider's feet. The sport is said to have been inspired by surfing, skiing and skateboarding, as an alternative to alpine skiing(高山滑雪). While snowboarding is one of the newer events — first included at the 1998 Winter Olympics, it has become one of the most popular and exciting sports at the Winter Olympics.
Ice hockey
Ice hockey is a game between two teams who wear skates and compete on an ice rink(溜冰场). Each team usually has six players. The object is to push the puck(冰球) past a goal line and into a net guarded by a goalkeeper. Ice hockey is popular for its speed and frequent physical contact. Worldwide there are more than a million registered Ice hockey players performing regularly in leagues.
【1】Which of the winter sports mentioned above involves team work?

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。
My husband and I were excited about buying our first house. But our money was limited, and none of the houses in our price range seemed satisfactory.
One agent suggested a house in particular. Although her description sounded wonderful, the price was beyond our budget, so we turned down the offer. But she kept persuading us to have a look.
We finally did and it was love at first sight. It was our home, small and charming, overlooking a quiet lake. Walking through the rooms and talking with the owners, a nice elderly couple, we felt the warmth and happiness of the marriage within that home. Perfect as it was, the price remained too high for us. But every day, we would sit by the lake, looking at the house and dreaming of what it would be like to live in it. Days later, we made an offer—— far below the asking price. Surprisingly, they didn't laugh at us. They renewed their offer instead. It was also much more than we could afford, but far less than the original asking price.
The next day, we got a disappointing message that another buyer had offered a much higher price. Even so, we decided to talk with the owners directly. We made our final offer, which still was thousands of dollars less than the other buyer's bid(出价). We knew it, but we had to try. Nobody knew if we could get it.
