21、Every summer, during my grandparents’ annual visit to our home in Connecticut, my grandfather would spend mornings and afternoons playing solitaire(纸牌)at a table in the living room. My brother and I took turns sitting across from him with our own cards playing our own game. Every time we beat him—matching more cards to our top row than he did to his—he gave us a nickel(镍币). Getting nickels was a big deal, and so, in pursuit of them, I occasionally cheated. So did my brother. But Grandfather didn’t care. Playing the game was his quiet way of connecting with his grandchildren.
When I was in junior high, my mother taught me her version of double solitaire where you lay out most of the cards in two rows then try to move them up onto eight piles. I enjoyed playing the game sitting next to her in the evenings, one of the few moments in her day when I had my mother’s full attention. When I was married and the mother of two teenage sons, solitaire became a stress-reliever. If I needed a break, I switched my attention from the noisy life to the silent game with my kids. During my retirement, many of the activities I most enjoy are solitary ones—reading, exploring different neighborhoods on foot, doing puzzles, planting a garden, writing a novel for middle-school kids, and of course solitaire.
The word “solitaire” originally meant someone who is isolated or alone. Solitaire plays well in silence, but the experience of it can be shared as well. My most vivid memories of solitaire are connected to people I have loved: a grandparent, a parent, a child. Perhaps solitaire will not only become a simple pastime but also a belief in the power of one centuries-old game to teach some simple truths about our lives: Happiness will always be within reach.

22、There is an old saying about volunteer work that goes like this: “ No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.”
Today, many people volunteer their time and energy to help others. There are a lot of ways to meet other people’s needs. For example, some volunteers provide help after a disaster. Others are happy to get dirty while repairing homes or planting trees or flowers in poor neighborhoods. Young people see suffering and loneliness around them and find ways to help. And history lovers help archeologists(考古学家) search for ancient objects to help deepen our knowledge of the past.
Volunteers work in many areas around the world, including Haiti. More than two years have passed since a 7.0 earthquake shook the nation. The exact number of people who died may never be known. Thousands of survivors of the Haitian earthquakes still live in temporary(临时的) shelters. Last year, former American President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn joined five hundred volunteers in the town of Leogane to build houses.
Organizations do not have to be large to get volunteers. An activist group in Dharamsala, India is a good example, Jodie Underhill from England arrived in northern India several years ago. She planned to volunteer for an environmental project. She could almost not believe how much rubbish was ruining some of the area’s most beautiful sights. Jodie Underhill learned about how to deal with the rubbish while taking part in other volunteer projects. But soon enough she formed her own group, Mountain Cleaners. Jodie Underhill says the work is very hard. But she praises the group’s efforts as a wonderful experience. The young Englishwoman says the Indian media started calling her “Garbage Girl”. And she says she was pleased with the name.
American teenagers also volunteer in many ways .

23、The Walt Disney Company wasn't about to let COVID-19 stop the company from developing. In the past year, some Disney theme park innovations（革新） have been designed.
For example, Disney had always encouraged face-to-face interactions（互动） between cast members（演职人员） and customers. It made perfect sense since Disney spends so much time training its workers in providing good customer service. In fact, Disney is known for pleasing its guests, which explains why it scores so high in customer satisfaction surveys. Well, COVID-19 turned personal interactions into problematic exchanges, as they increased the risk of spreading COVID-19. So, quickly, Disney added cast member virtual（虚拟的） chat to its app My Disney Experience. Now, you can rely on a cast member's knowledge whenever you have a question about Disney visit. It's like having a tour guide on your phone!
There is also the Walk-Up Waitlist. Before 2020，Disney had made strict rules for its Table Service restaurants. Once something sold out, would-be diners had no means of booking a table. COVID-19 has affected park guests, though. Some of them booked tables but then decided not to eat there. This cost Disney money, and it prevented you from dining at your favorite places. So, restaurant managers felt unhappy about the poor business practice, and Disney's IT department reached a solution. The Walk-Up Waitlist in My Disney Experience allows you to add your name at a restaurant. A previously booked restaurant will find a table for you to dine there. My Disney Experience shows the waiting time. You'll know whether the wait will fit with your tour. For Disney, the Walk-Up Waitlist improves services and can make it earn more money while increasing customer satisfaction.
In the face of COVID-19，Disney somehow made its parks better and more modern. The company is really worth praising for such great innovations.
【1】What were cast members supposed to do before COVID-19？
A．Make customers happy by phone.
B．Do surveys of customers' attitudes
C．Communicate with customers directly.
D．Take customers on tours around the park.
【2】What can park guests do with the Walk-Up Waitlist？
A．Check whether there's a table that's called off.
B．Know when to dine in the booked restaurant.
C．Dine at any restaurant at any time.
D．Book as many tables as they can.
【3】Which of the following can best describe the Walk-Up Waitlist?
A．It benefits both Disney and its customers.
B．It is supposed to be used at a restaurant only.
C．It is aimed at more customers during COVID-19.
D．It allows Disney to have the most guests at a time.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．How Disney keeps its park working.
B．How Disney controls the flow of traffic.
C．Ways to tour around Disney during COVID-19.
D．Disney's innovations responding to COVID-19.
24、 Being highly successful in any field is pretty rare. It takes a combination of natural talent, luck, determination, and plenty of outside support for someone to make it big in sports, entertainment, or business. But what if competing is all that matters to you, whether you are likely to succeed or not? This was the goal of Michael Eddie the Eagle Edwards, and that he reached that goal was an amazing achievement.
Born in the U.K. in 1963, Michael was an enthusiastic downhill skier whose dream was to compete for Britain in world-class competitions. He would have liked to represent his country in the 1984 Winter Olympics, but there were a large number of downhill competitors, and Edwards didn't qualify. Seeing his chance elsewhere, he switched to ski jumping. Ski jumping didn't cost nearly as much, and there was almost no competition for a place on the Britain team.
But number of hurdles (障碍)could have meant the end of Edwards' dream. He weighed more than most competitors, which put him at a disadvantage. He had no financial support for his training. Poor eyesight meant that he had to wear glasses under his goggles (护目镜)- not a good thing when they steamed up at high altitudes. But he couldn't let any of this discourage him. He saw himself as a true lover of the sport who simply wanted the chance to compete. Winning wasn't the point. Having the opportunity to try was all he cared about. And nothing could stop him from trying.
In the end, Edwards took 55th place in the 1987 World Championships. He then went on to the Calgary Olympics in 1988, where he finished last in both of his events. Many athletes would have been embarrassed by this result, but he is proud of his achievement to this day. His determination to fight against all the odds made him a global hero, and in 2016, the inspiring film Eddie the Eagle was made about his life.
【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To add some background information.
B. To uncover the secret of success.
C. To expect an answer from readers.
D. To introduce the topic.
【2】Why did Michael Edwards choose ski jumping?
A. It took less skill.
B. The equipment was cheaper.
C. There was little competition.
D. It was easy to win the championship.
【3】After the Calgary Olympics, Edwards _________.
A. felt he had reached his goal
B. was embarrassed by his results
C. switched to film making
D. was glad it was over
【4】What made Michael Edwards outstanding?
A. His determination to win.
B. His enthusiasm for the sport.
C. His attitude towards the Olympics.
D. His ability to overcome physical disabilities.
