23、The advantages & disadvantages of being a host family
Hosting an exchange student can be the most rewarding experience in the world. Bringing an exchange student into your home can have its advantages and disadvantages. I am going to start with the disadvantages.
Disadvantages:
The language barrier. You may have a hard time just because of the language barrier. 【1】 You would even be tearing your hair out. Just take a deep breath and communicate once again.
Extra costs. 【2】 Although they pay for their medicine and clothes, there are still many other costs. Does your family like to go out to the movies? Well, you now have an extra person to pay for. Food at home is another cost. You have to provide food for breakfast and dinner as well as lunch if the student chooses not to pay for hot lunch at school.

24、Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created: the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-confidence. Your level of self-confidence is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-confidence are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are always victims. They are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify(确定) the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.
In all areas of your life, whether they are financial, physical, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it. You are on the road to success.
【1】People with low self-confidence are compared to leaves because they .
A. don’t have the power to face their lives

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
David is a good middle school teacher. When I first met him, I asked him what encouraged him to teach. David smiled. And he told me a story.
When he was young, like many young boys, David was fond of throwing stones. One afternoon, he discovered, that if he threw stones over his neighbor’s fence, he could create a crashing sound — the sound of breaking glass. So he would throw a stone and wait for the sound. David felt fun at that moment, but then he did get caught.
The man who lived next door came to his house and told his parents about the boy and the stones. “I would like David to come to my home so I can show him a few things,” the man said. His parents, sorry for that and disappointed by their son’s behavior, sent their son to the neighbor’s house. David followed the man into his house, through the back door, and out into the yard. There, next to the fence, was a greenhouse. The neighbor led David into the greenhouse, and David imagined all kinds of punishments. What was the man going to do with him?
As he led David down the rows of plants, the man began talking about flowers. He walked slowly, showing him each one and explaining what he loved about them. He said, “There are my gladioli (剑兰); they can get quite large and bloom (开花) in many colors. There are violets; they are my wife’s favorite. When I see them, I remember her, and miss her. In the deep purple, she lives in my eyes. And these orchids, right here, are very difficult to grow. But when they bloom, they create the most beautiful shape. You cannot believe until you see with your own eyes how a flower can be so beautiful.”
Para1:
David was surprised.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2:
As he walked home, David decided he would grow up to be a teacher.
