22、 Many Americans experience surprise (or disappointment) when they wake up on Christmas Day. They might be surprised or disappointed by a family member’s actions. They might be happy or unhappy about a Christmas gift. Imagine a child expects to get an Xbox or PlayStation for Christmas. On Christmas morning, they quickly open their gift. Inside is an English grammar book. They might feel disappointed. The Everyday Grammar team would prefer the new English grammar book. But if you are like most young people, you would probably rather have a new video game.
Today, we are going to explore those feelings-feelings of surprise and disappointment. In other words, we are going to explore how speakers show that reality was better or worse than their expectations.
Many languages use words to express expectation. Speakers also use words to express how events are not happening as expected. This idea is known as “counter expectation”.
Do not worry about the term. Just remember that it means that speakers use words to show that reality is countering their expectations.
English has many words that serve this purpose. Three of the most common are the words “even”, “still” and “actually”. You will often hear them in informal, everyday speech. Speakers use these words to show disappointment. The pitch of their voice tells you what they mean. Let’s study examples of each word.
Speakers often use the word "even” to show disappointment or surprise. Imagine a young child that expects a phone call from a family member-perhaps an uncle or grandparent. The phone call never comes. The child might say the following: “What’s wrong with him? He didn’t even call me on Christmas day.” Americans sometimes use “still” for showing how reality does not quite meet their expectations: “You’re still here? It’s over! Go home. Go!” Another common word that shows surprise or disappointment is “actually”: “I can’t believe it! Uncle Bob actually stole her Christmas gift.”
【1】What might most young Americans prefer as a Christmas gift according to paragraph 1?
A．A newly made video game.
B．An English grammar book.
C．A new designed school bag.
D．A unique jacket from their parents.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “counter expectation” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Expression of disappointment.
B．Something expected to happen.
C．The same with one’s expectation.
D．A result against what is expected.
【3】What do the three words “even”, “still” and “actually” have in common?
A．They are easy to understand.
B．They express disappointment.
C．They show delighted feelings.
D．They are used most at Christmas.
【4】What’s the last paragraph mainly about?
A．Expectations from loved ones.
B．Different uses of the three words.
C．Examples of the use of the three words.
D．Emotions of disappointment and surprise.
23、 Some of the most powerful companies in the world have co-founders. For example, Google (Sergey Brin and Larry Page), Apple (Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs), and Microsoft (Bill Gates and Paul Allen) and so on. Having partners can help to deal with the pressure and the failures that come with running a business. No matter how down on your luck you feel they may provide emotional support. They may have extra skills, and be on hand to help out with the day-to-day. And an alternate point of view may help to broaden your mind and aid the risk of mistakes being overlooked.
Everybody knows Samsungs Galaxy Note 7. When the phone was launched in 2016, customers praised it for its storage, design and usability, and it may well have been a hit if it weren’t for the fact that it occasionally caught fire and exploded. It was soon banned immediately from flights, and Samsung had no choice but to recall the entire model. The shortcoming reportedly cost the company $1 billion, and a further $17 billion in lost sales. But remember, based on the lesson, the Galaxy Note 8 and the Galaxy Note 9 are well received in the world! Now we know that failing is part of business success.
One thing that all great companies have in common is that they have failed many times—and luckily, they bounced back. Take Sarah Blakely, founder of shapewear brand Spanx for example. She credits her business success specifically to her failures. “I’d get kicked out of buildings all day long,” she remembered. “People would tear up my business card in my face. But my friends and I knew I could sell and I knew I wanted to sell something I had created. I learned that ‘no’ doesn’t always mean ‘no’, and that you may get 30 nos before you get the one yes. People told me no with Spanx for two years.” Spanx is worth just over $ I billion—it was a company that Blakely who took a degree in a law school started with just $ 5000!
【1】What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?
A.Two heads are better than one.
B.Constant dropping wears the stone.
C.God helps those who help themselves.
D.All things are difficult before they are easy.
【2】Why does the author mention Samsungs Galaxy Note 7, 8 and 9?
A.To argue customers always follow the new trends.
B.To prove Samsung is responsible for customers.
C.To show Samsung paid for its product failure.
D.To explain that failures don’t spell the end.
【3】What mainly contributed to Sarah Blakely’s success?
A.Her friends’ help. B.Her will power.
C.Her good luck. D.Her education background.
【4】How does the author develop the passage?
A.By contrast. B.By classification.
C.By giving examples. D.By giving numbers.

26、请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
Lang Lang is a worldclass pianist who grew up in Shenyang. He went to a piano school in Beijing when he was just eight. “You need fortune,” his father said. “But unless you work hard, no fortune will come.”
What made Lang Lang sad was that his piano teacher in Beijing didn’t like him. “You have no talent. You will never be a pianist.” As an eightyearold boy, Lang Lang was badly hurt. For the next two weeks he didn’t touch the piano. Wisely, his father didn’t push him, but waited.
Luckily, the day came when his teacher asked him to play some holiday songs. At first, he didn’t want to, but as he placed his fingers on the piano keys, he realized he could show other people that he had the ability to do it well. That day he told his father that he wanted to study with a new teacher. From then on, everything got turned around. He started winning competitions. Soon it was clear that he couldn’t stay in China forever—he had to play on the world’s big stages. In 1997 Lang Lang moved again, this time to Philadelphia, the US.
There he spent two years practicing and by 1999 he had worked hard enough for fortune to take over. After his successful performance at Chicago’s Raviniu Festival, concerts in Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall started pouring in. Lang Lang finally worked to reach the place where fortune spots him and lets him shine.
