21、 Once,I had an American friend.After she went back home,I never heard from her again.I can't help but wonder if there can ever be real friendship between Westerners and us Chinese.
What is friendship?The Oxford English Dictionary says,"The emotions or conduct of friends."In both Western and Chinese culture,we have similar proverbs when it comes to friendship,such as"a friend in need is a friend indeed."【1】
Chinese people value friendship highly.As you know,Chinese people are known to be extremely hospitable and open-hearted.【2】 However,there are different types of friend ship and they treat them differently.
One type of friend in China is a"close acquaintance"who only occasionally eats and drinks and hangs out with you.In the West,they are called"a fair-weather(不可共患难的)friend."Nikki was that kind of friend.Despite our language barrier,we had a lot of fun together..【3】 Only real friends can enter your inner circle,where assistance and special care are always provided.
【4】 They tend to make friends with those who share the same values or interests.When foreign friend of mine asks for favors on behalf of his or her friend,I often have to clarify whether that person is a"close friend"or just a friend,and then I will decide how much I will help.
【5】 But the depth of that friendship is different.So how will you know how l feel ab out you?Well,the moment I stop being polite around you,you are my real friend.
A.They refer to anyone they know as a"friend."
B.Friendship in the West is mostly pursued for fun.
C.However,there is a cultural gap between the two sides.
D.Of course,Westerners and Chinese people can be good friends.
E.Real friends can share all our sorrows and double all our joys.
F.The second type of friend in China is a"real friend"who is practically your family.
G.They'll take turns with you in picking up the bill,because that's what good friends do.
22、Just over 12 months ago I gave myself a challenge: give up spending on all but the essentials for a whole year. It hasn't always been easy, but a year on I am wealthier and wiser. Embarrassingly, I have also realised just how much money I've squandered down the pubs in restaurants and through mindless shopping.
Free of any financial worries, I was spending without thinking. Stuck in a cycle of consumerism, I was struggling in vain to spend my way to happiness. Giving up spending for a year was an extreme approach, but I wanted to taste extreme frugality, shake up my spending patterns and overpay my mortgage instead of shopping. I could continue to pay my bills, including mortgages, broadband(宽带), phone bill, charity donations, life insurances, money to help my family and basic groceries.
It was not easy, especially in the first few months. There were lows, such as when I missed my favourite jazz concerts and hit films. There have also been some awkward moments when I've turned up to a friend's house for dinner empty-handed. I did a lot of washing up at my friends' houses in return this year.
I did find new ways to live, however. Using sites such as Eventbrite I have been to film screenings, wine tasting evenings and theatre productions for free. Living in London I have a wealth of free cultural activities on my doorstep and I've been to more art exhibitions this year than ever before. I even managed a free holiday, cycling the
Suffolk and Norfolk coast and camping on beaches. It's something I'd never done before and probably wouldn't have, were it not for the challenge.
The last 12 months have taught me what things I really need. I can honestly say I' m happier now. I've gained confidence and skills, done things and met lovely people I wouldn't have otherwise done or met.

23、When I was 6, my elder brother brought me to the local BMX(自行车越野) track to ride in a kid’s race for the first time. The hill out of the starting gate looked so scary and step that I backed off. My parents took me back for another try the next week. I fell almost immediately but still managed to win the second place. I’ve loved racing ever since.
I turned pro at 15, which isn’t possible now: You have to be 17 to compete professionally around the time I went pro, BMX became an Olympic sport and I decided to pursue it after high school. I’m the youngest woman with a professional title in the United States.
BMX isn’t judged on tricks or how you handle barriers, but it’s an extreme sport. It’s like horse racing mixed with riding a roller coaster. It starts with a huge burst of speed—I go 40 mph by the time. I’m two and a half seconds out of the gate. Then I try to come out in front of seven competitors at the end of the track, which includes 40-foot jumps. I keep chasing the high that comes from prestart nervousness, big jumps, and that feeling of crossing the finish line first.
Strength and balance are key in competition, so I work out at least five days a week to prepare. I do tons of resistance and agility(灵活) training, both on and off the bike. I also do mental drills with a sports psychologist to make sure I’m focused and confident going into competition. If I make a mistake on the course, I have to move on. Everyone is out to beat me; I need to concentrate on winning so my competitors can’t capitalize on an error and pass me!
I was so proud to win a silver medal at the Olympics in Rio, but I felt I was capable of gold, so that will push me to do better. I’m continually working to reach my potential in the sport. Until I feel completely satisfied, I’ll keep coming back.

24、Stress exhaustion is a combination of physical exhaustion and emotional exhaustion that is the result of long-term high-stress situations. 【1】 Many may even experience feelings of extreme helplessness and hopelessness. If not addressed, it can lead to additional health problems.
The immune (免疫的) system, the body’s first line of defense against illness, can be affected by stress. High amounts of stress send out certain chemicals that are unfriendly to the immune system. In the short term, this may not have a harmful effect. 【2】
Stress exhaustion also affects a person’s work performance. Why? First of all, it can be very difficult for a person to make the right decision with stress exhaustion. 【3】 What’s more, the person’s ability to process new information can decrease. And his possibility of making costly and harmful mistakes during work increases.
【4】 In the case of students, too much schoolwork combined with working long hours can be dangerous. Housewives often struggle to take many difficult tasks, including caring for children and maintaining a household. Other people may also experience a unique combination of causes that result in stress exhaustion.
To prevent stress exhaustion, stress management techniques should be used. 【5】 There are a variety of techniques to improve sleeping habits, for example, setting a sleep schedule. Avoiding food and exercise for at least four hours before sleeping has also been shown to improve sleep.
