21、Nick Vujicic was born with no arms or legs, but he doesn’t let this stop him.
The brave 26-year-old man plays football and golf, and swims, in spite of the fact that he has no arms or legs.
Nick has a small foot on his left side, which helps him balance and makes him able to kick. He uses his one foot to type, write with a pen and pick things up.
“I call it my chicken drumstick,” joked Nick, who was born in Melbourne, Australia, but now lives in Los Angeles. “I’d be lost without it. When I get in the water I float because 80 percent of my body is lungs and my drumstick acts as a propeller.”
“He’s very modest, but he gets marriage proposals from women all the time,” said Nick’s friend Steve Appel. “He would love to get married and start a family, but he’s waiting for the right girl to come along.”
When Nick was born, his father was so shocked that he left the hospital room. His distraught mother couldn’t bring herself to hold him until he was four months old.
His disability came without any medical explanation, which was a rare case. Nick and his parents spent many years asking why this cruel trick would happen to them.
“My mother was a nurse and she did everything right during pregnancy but she still blamed herself,” he said.
“It was so hard for them, but right from the start they did their best to make me independent. My dad put me in the water at 18 months and gave me the courage to learn how to swim.”
【1】We can learn from the text that Nick ________.
A．has a poor sense of balance
B．understands his mother very well
C．considers his small foot ugly
D．is disappointed with his health condition
【2】What can we learn from what Steve Appel said?
A．Nick Vujicic is serious about his marriage.
B．Nick Vujicic is not popular with women.
C．Nick Vujicic is afraid of starting a family.
D．Nick Vujicic is not willing to get married.
【3】The underlined word “distraught” in the text probably means ________.
A．cold-blooded
B．bad-tempered
C．really shy
D．extremely upset
【4】Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Nick’s parents couldn’t afford the hospital bill.
B．Nick is living in Melbourne, Australia now.
C．Nick’s father was to blame for his disability.
D．Nick learned to be independent at a young age.
22、 We human beings have many great powers and one of them is our imagination. Maybe you are surprised and wonder why I draw such a conclusion. Wait and let me explain to you.
William James was a philosopher and one of the leading thinkers more than a century ago. He said this is about the power of the mind, “Anything you may hold firm in your imagination can be yours.” He believed there was tremendous power in imagination and wrote in length about how humans can bring about significant positive changes in their attitudes, behaviors and relationships by first holding a vivid image of their best selves, or the person they want to become，in their imagination.
In his book TheWinner'sEdge，writer Denis Waitley tells of high school basketball players who learned the power of holding something firm in their imaginations. The students were divided into three groups. Group One was told not to practice shooting free throws for one month. Group Two was told to practice shooting free throws in the gym every afternoon for a month. Group Three was told to imagine shooting free throws every afternoon for one hour for a month. Rankly, I can hardly imagine a group of athletes, after sitting in class all day, dressing out, going to the gym, sitting in the bleachers and just thinking about shooting free throws for an hour every day. But look at these results. Group One, the no－practice group, slipped slightly in their percentage free－throw average. Group Two，the students that practiced, increased their accuracy by about two percentage points. Group Three, the ones who imagined shooting, also increased about two percentage points—the same as the group that practiced.
Neuroscience(神经学)is just now discovering that there are biological reasons for this phenomenon William James talked about so long ago. But here is the point. Do you want to become more excellent at some endeavor? Do you want to improve your outlook? Is there a skill you'd like to perfect? Do you want better relationships? Or would you like to replace your fear of something, such as speaking in public or heading up a project, with more confidence and courage? If so, then some mental practice, holding a vivid image of what you have in your mind, is as important as physical practice. The time you spend “seeing” in your mind what you are trying to accomplish actually helps to bring it to pass.
I don't mean we have to sit down and imagine something for an hour every day. It's as simple as holding a vivid mental picture of what you truly desire and returning to it as often as possible.
So there are many things that you can have in your imagination. Imagine your success. Never hesitate to visualize doing that thing you fear at first. Get it in your mind and then imagine your success in that area over and over again, like free throws going into the basket. What does it look like to be confident? How does it look to be actually doing the thing you're afraid to do? How does it feel? Can you imagine it in detail? In a short time, you will discover that things really are changing for you. And after that, well, just imagine what else you can do if you really want to achieve some unexpected results.

A．practice shooting free throws for one month.

23、This passage is adapted from Jane Eyre by Charloue Bronte.
Seeing me, she recovered herself: she made a sort of effort to smile and expressed a few words of congratulations, but the smile disappeared, and the sentence was abandoned unfinished. She put up her glasses and pushed her chair back from the table.
“I feel so astonished,” she began, “I hardly know what to say to you, Miss Eyre. I have surely not been dreaming, have I? Sometimes I half fall asleep when I am sitting alone and fancy things that have never happened. It has seemed to me more than once when I have been in a doze (打盹), that my dear husband, who died fifteen years since, has come in and sat down beside me; and that I have even heard him call me by my name, Alice, as he used to do. Now, can you tell me whether it is actually true that Mr. Rochester has asked you to marry him? Don’t laugh at me. But I really thought he came in here five minutes ago and said that in a month you would be his wife.“
“He has said the same thing to me,” I replied.
“He has! Do you believe him? Have you accepted him?”
“Yes.”
She looked at me confused. “I could never have thought it. He is a proud man; all the Rochesters were proud; and his father at least liked money. He, too, has always been called careful. He means to marry you?”
“He tells me so.”
She surveyed my whole person: in her eyes, I read that they had there found no charm powerful enough to solve the mystery.
“It passes me!” she continued, “but no doubt it is true since you say so. How it will answer I cannot tell:I really don’t know. Equality of position and fortune is often advisable in such cases; and there are twenty years of difference in your ages. He might almost be your father.”
“No, indeed, Mrs. Fairfax!” I protested, annoyed, “he is nothing like my father! No one, who saw us together, would suppose it for an instant. Mr. Rochester looks as young, and is as young, as some men of twenty-five.”
“Is it really for love he is going to marry you?” she asked.
I was so hurt by her coldness and skepticism that tears rose to my eyes.
“I am sorry to make you unhappy,” continued the widow (寡妇), “but you are so young, and so little acquainted with men,I wished to put you on your guard. It is an old saying that’ all is not gold that glitters’; and in this case,I do fear there will be something found to be different to what either you or I expect.”
“Why? Am I a monster?” I said. “Is it impossible that Mr. Rochester should have a sincere affection for me?”
“No, you are very well; and much improved recently. and Mr. Rochester, I dare say, is fond of you.I have always noticed that you were a sort of pet of his There are times when, for your sake, I have been a little uneasy at his marked preference and have wished to put you on your guard; but I did not like to suggest even the possibility of wrong. I knew such an idea would shock, perhaps offend you; and you were so discreet (谨慎的) and so thoroughly modest and sensible, I hoped you might be trusted to protect yourself. Last night I cannot tell you what I suffered when I sought all over the house, and could find you nowhere, nor the master either. and then, at twelve o’clock, saw you come in with him.”
“Well, never mind that now,” I interrupted impatiently; “it is enough that all was right.”
“I hope all will be right in the end,” she said. “But, believe me, you cannot be too careful. Try and keep Mr. Rochester at a distance: distrust yourself as well as him. Gentlemen in his station are not accustomed to marrying their governesses.”
【1】In this passage Miss Eyre’s feelings about her relationship with Mr. Rochester can be best described as ______.
A．grateful
B．incredible
C．sensitive
D．confident
【2】We may infer from the passage that both Miss Eyre and Mrs. Fairfax agree that ______.

【3】By saying “Gentlemen in his station are not accustomed to marrying their governesses.”, Mrs. Fairfax means that Mr. Rochester ______.
A．is brave enough to challenge the society to marry Miss Eyre
B．will treat Miss Eyre like a governess after marriage

D．may not be sincere about his marriage proposal
24、Best wedding speeches stay in our memory forever, marking the importance of the wedding day for everyone involved. It can be quite challenging to fit all the feelings you want to share into a single speech. Most times, a humorous speech is just perfect, because it works for all weddings. Let us share some tips.
For mother of the bridegroom (新郎). You’ll talk about his growing up and how he was well raised. You can also say something about the bride (新娘). Finish by how proud you are and how they are well made for each other. “The first time I saw you, it was love. My little baby grew into a wobbly toddler, and then a smart child. The preteen and teen years and the next thing I knew, you’ve become a man.”
For mother of the bride. Tell your daughter that she’s beautiful and strong. Talk about the good memories in her growing years. “It’s no news that we love our kids so much, and seeing them grow up is hard. Everything they do fills you with pride. Now I’m grateful and proud that she has found love in the bridegroom. May your marriage be long, happy, and peaceful together.”
For father of the bridegroom. Your son will be looking to you for support and wisdom for marriage. So, good wedding speeches from the father of the bridegroom can contain learning from each other. “My greatest blessing is having a son, one that mirrors me in many ways. But like his dream, he’s grown into his own person. My son will make an amazing husband. I wish you every best.”
For father of the bride. As the father of the bride, you have responsibilities to your baby girl. Give the young couple pieces of advice and your best wishes. "From me to you, I’ll tell you that a successful marriage requires falling in love many times and doing it with the same person always.”
