21、 Brent is a full-time designer who has been working for a company since 2002. He has come up with a way to inspire his son during his lunchtime break at school. The devoted dad does a special thing — drawing different cartoon characters alongside some words of wisdom for John each day.
Brent, who runs a blog called Designer Daddy, packs his son’s lunchbox a note every day, along with his sandwiches and snacks. His artistic behavior has quickly garnered thousands of people, which makes Brent very popular in his hometown.
Brent’s creations require nothing more than cartoon characters and inspiring messages. The characters come from various cartoons and movies, all of whom Brent has relied on to help deliver his meaningful messages. “My son started preschool last year. For the first day of school, I drew a soldier on a note and wrote ‘Be brave like him, John’. And then, I kept putting in notes for the first week. He really liked it. So I just kept doing it after that. It gives him comfort and happiness as well as me, which makes me know I’m with him in a way. We watch a lot of cartoons and movies together. There are so many different ways to introduce kids to characters, but my rules are that I never use one that he isn’t familiar with,” Brent said.
Besides, Brent also tries to keep up-to-date with new characters and does his own research to ensure he will know when it comes to popular culture and what characters his son might like to see. Brent had intended to stick with superheroes. However, as John was also attracted by other cartoons, he decided to broaden his idea and began to include Star Wars figures and Disney characters into the mix.
According to Brent, each drawing takes about half an hour to complete. Brent likes to keep the drawings topical (热门的) and often marks milestones including birthdays and holidays, with special artistic creations. He will also adjust the characters depending on the time of year. Brent says John loves to receive the notes, and the boy often shares them with teachers and classmates at school. But despite the attention his creative notes are receiving, he says he never loses sight of who they are for.
【1】Why does Brent do the special thing?
A.To have his son encouraged. B.To draw his son’s attention.
C.To design a blog for his son. D.To accompany his son.
【2】Which of the following can be learned from the text?
A.Brent’ s behavior was inspired by a blog.

【3】What does the underlined word “garnered” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Influenced. B.Inspired.
C.Urged. D.Gathered.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.A Popular Designer B.A Loving Father
C.A Precious Lunch Box D.An Impressive Note
22、People can be addicted to(沉溺于) different things — e.g. alcohol, drug, certain foods, or even television. People who have such an addiction are compulsive(强迫的):They have a very powerful psychological（心理上的）need that they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders. They feel that they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit(以赊欠方式), charge accounts are even more exciting than money. In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending large amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy.
There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things that they don’t need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets(预算), but they are really playing an exciting game. When they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning. Most people, experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason.
It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business. They consider people’s needs for love, power, or influence, their basic values, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods. Psychologists often use a method called “behavior therapy(疗法)” to help individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money.
【1】According to the psychologists, a compulsive spender is one who spends large amounts of money___.
A．and takes great pleasure from what he or she buys
B．in order to satisfy his or her basic needs in life

【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
A．People spend money for exactly the same reason that they need to buy things.
B．Business people and advertisers can use the psychology of people’s spending habits to increase sales.
C．Business people understand the psychology of compulsive buying better than scientists do.
D．Compulsive bargain hunters do not have problems with money.
【3】What is the text mainly about?
A．The psychology of money-spending habits.
B．The habits of compulsive spenders.
C．A special psychology of bargain hunting.
D．The use of the psychology of spending habits in business.
【4】From the text we may safely conclude that compulsive spenders or compulsive bargain hunters _____.
A．are really unreasonable

23、 Making other people feel good feels good, and, best of all it requires little more than a generous heart. Studies show that people feel happier when they do something kind for another person, and both recipients and good deed-doers can get the benefits. It can't be a smarter idea to create this World Kindness Day. 【1】
Learn a friend's language.
Picking up a bit of a friend or co-worker's first language and speaking it with them show them you care about and take an interest in their experiences. Making someone feel included and respected will feel a greater sense of belonging, an essential component of happiness.
【2】
Reaching out to someone for the first time in a long time can be an instant remedy for whatever troubles you. It's as simple as a text, a note or a FaceTime call. Let someone know you're thinking of them, even after some time apart. Studies suggest strong bonds can improve physical health, too.
Genuinely compliment someone.
A respectful comment that comes from the heart about someone's unique hairstyle, excellent performance in a concert or their great solution to a problem at work might be all it takes to improve someone's mood. 【3】
Collect trash you see around your neighborhood.
Picking up trash and recyclables off the street beautifies your community and benefits the environment. 【4】 The environment can't clean itself, after all!
Thank the people in your life.
They are the security guard outside of your workplace, the supermarket worker you see every day, and even your mom. 【5】Thank people for the things, big and small, that they do that improve your life. Gratitude is priceless.
A．Have eye contact with friends.
B．Reconnect with a friend or family member.
C．It might even inspire others to take up the task with you.
D．Without their help, your world might not work efficiently.
E．If your friends are overweight, you should turn a blind eye to it.
F．Open your heart with some small, free ways to make someone's day.
G．Others' positive words would help some people be a bit kinder to themselves, too.
24、36-year-old Juan Dual likes to joke that he’s empty inside. Juan’s story began when he was only 13. It was then that he was diagnosed with a terrible disease, which left him with a 99.8% chance of developing cancer of the digestive system. At age 19, right after finishing high-school, Juan underwent a tough operation to take away his colon and rectum. Sadly, it was only the beginning. By age 28, Juan’s disease had affected his stomach and gallbladder so he had to go under the knife again.
Having just recovered from several serious surgeries, Juan Dual decided to accept the invitation of some friends of his parents and travel to Japan. It was there that things started to change for the better. He didn’t speak a word of Japanese, so he spent most of his time walking his dog. One day, the dog pulled harder, and Juan realized that he was still able to jog, and he started to do just that.
Months later, he found himself working in a small, peaceful town in England. There was little in terms of entertainment, but the town was surrounded by hills, so he devoted even more of his time to running. He befriended some like-minded folks and told them what he’d been through, and they seemed amazed at the fact that he was still alive, let alone that he was pushing himself to exercise. That’s when the idea of focusing on motivating others took root in his mind.
With the help of Pepa, a nutritionist, Juan Dual slowly relearned how to eat to keep his energy level high enough to sustain him during physical activity. Eight months after his last operation, he finished the Barcelona half marathon in two hours. He then started training for mountain running and ultra-marathons.
【1】Why does Juan Dual say he is empty inside?
A．Because he has no desire for anything.
B．Because he doesn’t have much knowledge.
C．Because he always suffers from great hunger.
D．Because many of his organs have been removed.
【2】What made Juan Dual aware that he could still run?
A．His parents’ support.
B．A walk with his dog.
C．The idea of challenging himself.
D．His quick recovery from surgeries.
【3】When did Juan Dual decide to inspire others with his story?
A．After finishing the Barcelona half marathon.
B．After being introduced to a nutritionist named Pepa.
C．After sharing it with his friends in an English town.
D．After making friends with people with similar sufferings.
【4】Which of the following words can best describe Juan Dual?
A．Ambitious and intelligent.
B．Inspiring and responsible.
C．Unfortunate but determined.
D．Confident but stubborn.
