21、Life Lessons
Life is not easy when you are pursuing something worthwhile and ready to learn from the best experiences. 【1】Here are some life lessons which people will learn the hard way in majority of cases.
It takes consistent time and effort to be successful in any area. However, people usually get discouraged when it takes more time than they thought it would. At this time, people refer only to people who have already achieved what you want to be, which most people fail to do. Look at any successful person and you’ll notice one thing common in all of them. They took time to learn and mastered their skills like no one else. 【2】
Be brave to take the road less travelled. In our whole life, we always want to follow the same path that everyone suggests, do the same things everyone does, take the same career path everyone takes, wear the same clothes everyone wears, and hang out with the same people we work with.
【3】But when you get bored of life, you will realize that you are not meant to do what everyone does and that your destiny is different from anyone else’s out there in the world. But the price you pay to realize this is high because it takes a great amount of courage to follow your own path.
You don’t have to live your life in a way society wants you to. 【4】Parents sometimes force their children to select a career they don’t want because other children have selected that career. Worst of all, people follow them without even asking. There is no harm in old rituals (惯例) and beliefs but when you pursue then before your interest, sooner or later you’ll realize that yon should first do what you think is right.
【5】 However, if you are smart enough to learn early and wish not to waste your precious time learning them the hard way, learn them now and apply it to your life.
A.You have to break the rules sometimes.
B.After al life lessons are always learned the hard way.
C.There is no elevator to success; you have to take the stairs.
D.The reason why we follow others is that we are scared to fail.
E.It always takes tests and then fails us to learn anything worthwhile.
F.The general rule goes that the harder you try, the greater results you get.
G.Many old beliefs are being performed these days and are followed blindly.
22、Everyone needs friends．We all like to feel close to someone．It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with．Surely, sometimes we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around．But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are the same．Sometimes friends don’t get along well．That doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other．Most of the time they will go on being friends．Sometimes friends move away．Then we feel very sad．We miss them very much．But we can call them and write to them．Maybe we would never see them again．And we can make new friends．It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them．Families sometimes name their children after a close friend．Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town．Some libraries are named this way．So are some schools．We think of these people when we go to these places.
There’s more good news for people, if they have friends．These people live longer than those people who don’t have friends．Why? It could be that they are happier．Being happy helps you stay well．Or it could be just knowing that someone cares about you．If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.

23、Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know？
Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbacks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times．
Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书),though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbooks, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets．
【1】It can be inferred from the passage that_________．
A．TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge
B．cinemas are the best choice in getting information
C．reading is a cheap way of learning and having fun
D．newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself
【2】What does the sentence “Television has not killed reading, however.” underlined in the second paragraph suggest?
A．People only need reading, though.
B．Reading is still necessary today.
C．Reading is more fun than television.
D．Watching television doesn’t help reading.
【3】Where can you probably see this passage?
A．In a travel booklet.
B．In a science report.
C．In a fashion show magazine.
D．In an education book review.
24、If you want to stay in shape, but don’t have the time to go to the gym, the Mobile Gym is a good solution. It’s basically a large bus filled with the latest fitness equipment. You can find everything you need for a complete workout, and here’s the best part — you don’t need to go to the gym, and the gym comes to you!
The Mobile Gym was the idea of Adam Zickerman, founder of Inform Fitness, a popular chain of gyms across the United States. It hit him when he ordered lunch from a food truck one afternoon. So why not put a gym on a truck?
Zickerman experimented with a few designs and then invested $60,000 on making adaptations and fixing machines. He didn’t really need an advertising budget as the bus advertised itself. Carole Pallmeyer, for instance, found herself driving behind the Mobile Gym one day. At first she thought it was a regular bus with ads for a gym. But then she realized the bus itself was a gym, so she booked workout sessions for her entire family. “We are all busy, but we know the bus is coming and make sure we are home at 4:30 for the workouts,” she said. “You forget you’re on a bus because the workouts are tightly scheduled.”
Unfortunately, it is illegal to use the fitness equipment while the bus is moving, so you don’t get to save time by working out during the rush time. It operates only once a week, only two clients (客户) can be accommodated at a time on the bus. And it doesn’t come cheap. Sessions start at $100, while in-house workouts are $65. But the Mobile Gym appears to be a big hit.
“There are so many benefits to having the Mobile Gym come to you,” Zickerman said. “Only five to seven exercises complete a total-body workout when performed using our special equipment.” He also added that a 20-minute workout might sound easy, but it is really difficult and provides instant results. “It is very challenging and clients understand quickly why rest is important between workouts ”
【1】What inspired Zickerman to invent the Mobile Gym?
A．A usual order for a meal.
B．A casual visit to a gym.
C．A tight schedule for workout.
D．A specific experience of exercise.
【2】Which of the following is NOT the benefit of the Mobile Gym?
A．It saves much of clients ’time.
B．It creates adequate private space.
C．It offers special equipment needed for a total-body workout.
D．It provides clients with an appropriate and effective workout.
【3】What’s Zickerman’s attitude towards the Mobile Gym?
A．Concerned.
B．Negative.
C．Objective.
D．Optimistic.
