21、How to overcome challenges in your life
We all face tough and difficult challenges in life. To overcome challenges you need to have that “never quit” attitude in life. If you develop it, you’ll overcome quite a bit.
Motivate yourself. Say “YES, I CAN.” The challenge should bring out the best of you in this situation. Slow it down, and think that process through. 【1】 If you develop that mindset (心态), you’ll get it done.
【2】 Remain calm when you’re facing serious troubles and problems in life. You have to recollect yourself, and calm down. You can’t solve problems when you’re panicking. Take a deep breath, relax, and slow it down. Think things through calmly.
Let failure and fear fuel you in a positive way. Everyone fails at times. If you fail the first, second, or third time, don’t give up. 【3】 Learn what made you fail at overcoming these challenges.
Simplify the challenge you’re facing. Make the challenge easier than it is. 【4】 As you get through each step, you develop more confidence and you believe you can get it done, and then you will.
Stay positive and confident. 【5】 You have to find out all the ways you can use to overcome it, and put them to full use with all your effort. It’s our own mental stability that’s the difficult part. When you do it mentally, you’ll actually be able to do it.
A．Stay calm and cool headed.
B．Think the best, not the worst.
C．Start by breaking it down into steps.
D．To overcome a challenge, you have to believe you can really do it.
E．Most people will avoid any challenge, because they’re scared of failing.
F．Develop that confidence in saying there’s no way you’re going to fail at this.
G．Pick yourself up, and learn from why you’ve failed, and move on in a positive direction.
22、One day a mime(哑剧演员) is visiting the zoo and attempts to earn some money as a street performer. As soon as he starts to draw a crowd，a zookeeper drags him into his office. The zookeeper explains that the zoo’s most popular attraction，a gorilla(大猩猩)，has died suddenly and the keeper fears that attendance at the zoo will fall off. He offers the mime a job to dress up as the gorilla. The mime accepts.
The next morning the mime puts on the gorilla suit and enters the cage before the crowd comes. He soon discovers he can sleep all as he likes，play and make fun of people and he draws bigger crowds than he ever did as a mime—the job he likes but loses.
However，with days going by，he begins to notice that the people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience，he climbs to the top of his cage，crawls across a partition(隔墙)，and dangles(悬挂) from the top to the lion’s cage. The lion gets angry at this. The scene is a fuel to the crowd.
At the end of the day he is given a raise for being such a good attraction. Well，this continues for some time. The crowds grow larger，and the mime’s pay keeps going up.
Then one day when he is dangling over the lion he slips and falls. The mime is terrified. He starts screaming，“Help me!” But the lion is quick. The mime soon finds himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and the lion says，“Shut up，you fool! Do you want to get us both fired?”

23、Robert Spring, a 19th century forger (伪造者), was so good at his profession that he was able to make his living for 15 years by selling false signatures of famous Americans. Spring was born in England in 1838 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he prospered(繁荣)by selling his small but genuine collection of early US autographs (亲笔签名). Discovering his ability at copying handwriting he began imitating the signatures of George Washington and Benjimin Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To lessen the chance of detection (被发现), He sent his forgeries to England and Canada for sale. Forgers have a hard time selling products. A forger cannot approach a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don’t have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways of making their works look real. For example, they buy old books and use the aged paper of the title page, and they can treat paper and ink with chemicals.
In Spring’s time, right after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the southern states, so Spring invented a respectable young lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General “Stonewall” Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny’s financial problems forced her to sell a great number of letters and manuscripts (手稿) belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. However, all this activity did not prevent Spring from dying in poverty, leaving sharp-eyed experts the difficult task of separating his forgeries from the originals.
【1】Robert Spring spent 15 years ________.
A．running a bookstore in Philadelphia

A．There was less chance that his forgeries would be discovered there.
B．The prices were much higher in England and Canada.
C．There was a greater demand there than in America.
D．Britan was Spring’s birthplace.
【3】After the Civil War there was a great demand in Britain for ________
A．Civil War battle plans
B．southern manuscripts and letters
C．the signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin
D．southern money
【4】Which of the following about Miss Fanny Jackson is TRUE?

24、As a new driver with little experience behind the wheel, having to turn into another lane（车道）to avoid a careless driver talking on a cellphone is not something that I am prepared for. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, an accident is four times more likely to happen than normal while you are talking on the phone. Therefore, I hold the view that using a cellphone while driving should be outlawed（宣布……不合法）.
Cars are two-ton weapons and should be treated as such. When drivers put a key in the engine, they are taking on the responsibility of being a driver. Answer the phone while driving is like taking the safety off a gun ― at any moment something could go wrong and change a life forever.
A few countries, including Australia, Great Britain, Spain and Israel, have recognized the damage that cellphone use can cause. According to Tom Alex of The Des Moines Register, people who talk on cellphones while driving are just like drunk drivers. They are likely to make a deadly mistake, causing them to hurt themselves or someone else.
Some may think that cellphone are helpful when you need directions or are in an emergency situation. Although I agree, I believe the safest way to use your phone is to pull over to the side of the road first. Some may think that hands-free phones are less dangerous, but studies have shown that the danger remains the same with these.
Using a cellphone while driving should be outlawed. One small mistake could change your whole life. Please don’t let that happen ― stay off your cellphone while driving.
【1】It can be inferred that the writer ________.
A. doesn’t know how to drive at all
B. likes to use a cellphone while driving
C. take a great interest in using his car as a weapon
D. prefers to stay off his cellphone while driving
【2】The underlined word “recognized” in the third paragraph can be best replaced by “________”.
A. realized B. allowed C. made D. taken
【3】Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The author is not quite experienced in driving yet.
B. Using a cellphone while driving is quite dangerous.
C. Drivers behind the wheel should pay full attention.
D. Using hands-free phone is less likely to cause accidents.
【4】According to the writer, ________.
A. drivers should slow down while talking on the phone
B. cellphone talking while people are driving is more dangerous than drunken driving
C. drivers should be encouraged to use hands-free phones while driving
D. using a cellphone while driving should be forbidden
25、I was tired and hungry after a long day of work.
When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son ______up at me and said “I love you.” I didn’t know what to say. For several ______all I could do was to______ there and look at him. My first thought was that he must need ______ with his homework or he was trying to ______ me for some news .
Finally, I asked, “What was that all about?”
“Nothing,” He said, “My teacher said we should tell our parents that we love them and sees what they say. It’s ______.”
The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had______.
“Most of the fathers had the ______ reacting (反应) as you did.” The teacher said, “When I first______we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble. “The______is,” the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of ______ . It’s something all people require. What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too ______ we don’t all express those feeling. A boy should be______to tell his dad he loves him.”
The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how______it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.
When my son came to me that evening, I held on to (抱着) him for a more second. And just before he ______ away, I said in my deepest, most manly (有男子气概的) voice, “Hey, I love you, too.”
I don’t know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good.
