21、When Sarah Harmeyer moved to Dallas before the pandemic, she didn’t know any of her neighbors. So she decided to invite them all to dinner — and was thrilled when 91 people showed up in her backyard.
While COVID-19 has changed how neighbors interact, making helpful connections to people and businesses nearby is more important than ever. For Harmeyer, it started with a simple desire to know others in her community. And the free Nextdoor neighborhood networking app made what could seem like an awesome process easy.
“I went to the Nextdoor app and I said, ‘If you’ve never stepped outside of your house to meet your neighbors, would you consider coming? I would love to meet you,’” she said. After she reached out, Harmeyer discovered others wanted to connect just as much as she did, if not more. “Something is extraordinary when we reach out to each other as neighbors,” Harmeyer said.
Since that first request, Harmeyer has now hosted gatherings with more than 3,500 neighbors in total. She’s had people over for dinner, backyard concerts, holiday parties and more. By posting her invitations to Nextdoor, she continues to grow her community. Harmeyer even shares hosting tips and tricks through Nextdoor for others interested in becoming “people-gatherers” like her.
“By the time I left, I felt like I had new friends,” Jennifer Rylander said after attending one of Harmeyer’s backyard gatherings. Neighbor Travis Brannon added, “It takes a lot of courage to take that next step and get out and meet someone face-to-face.”
Harmeyer’s story shows how one person has the power to strengthen their entire neighborhood. Technology like Nextdoor can be used to promote real — world interactions — and, in return, these gatherings can spark positive change.
【1】Why did Harmeyer invite all her neighbors to dinner?
A．To show her kindness and generosity.
B．To confirm this pandemic is not so terrible.
C．To change how neighbors communicate.
D．To know more neighbors as soon as possible.
【2】How did Harmeyer get her first request delivered to her neighbors?
A．By putting up notices.
B．By informing them face - to - face.
C．By using the Nextdoor app.
D．By sending some invitations.
【3】Which word can best describe Harmeyer according to the text?
A．Outgoing.
B．Cautious.
C．Stubborn.
D．Selfish.
【4】What can we conclude from Harmeyer’s story?
A．COVID-19 has made it harder to work out.
B．Technology is changing people’s lifestyle.
C．The Nextdoor app becomes popular during the pandemic.
D．Everyone can play a part in strengthening their neighborhood.
22、 It seems that society has placed so much value on the word “humility” (谦逊), sometimes we’re told to lower ourselves in order to be recognized as a more modest student or employee. 【1】, rather than how society looks at you. Here are three ways to develop a modest personality.
Stop questioning your worth.
Being mild-mannered does not contradict(相矛盾) recognizing your worth, because you’ll become at peace with your inner self when you accept your own strengths. Remember that you are valuable regardless of outside changes.Worth shouldn’t be measured by what you compete on in society. 【2】.
【3】
Be willing to get coffee for a colleague, sweep the floors of your dormitory, or move to a smaller office at work. 【4】. In addition, it may potentially inspire ideas for growth beyond your original vision. Accepting more flexibility in your everyday life will also help you move back and forth in the path, without having to worry about “losing yourself” in any difficulty you may come across.
Accept uncertainty.
【5】. Try to appreciate the unknown and regard it as a fresh learning opportunity rather than a nightmare. Just as band Maroon 5 says, “Life isn’t always rainbows and butterflies. It’s compromise that moves us along.” This may never be easy. But you can meet uncertainty with a sense of curiosity to learn what can be created from it.
A．Be eager and flexible
B．Be determined and hard-working
C．Develop a healthier relationship with uncertainty
D．Uncertainty is a double-edged sword in many cases
E．Instead, it’s your gifts, talents and hard work that prove who you are
F．This can allow you to communicate with the people around you in new ways
G．The true humility, however, is more about the way you relate to yourself and your surroundings
23、In 1968, William Anders took what has been described as the greatest environmental photograph of all time while venturing farther than any other human had travelled before aboard the Apollo 8 spacecraft. He was orbiting the Moon when a half-illuminated slice of our home planet suddenly emerged beyond the lunar horizon. 【1】 people called that photograph Earthrise.
【2】. In the 19th century, Tomas Moran’s painting from a little-explored comer of Wyoming helped to inspire US President Ulysses S Grant to create. Yosemite National Park. 【3】 His description of what Carl Sagan later described as our ‘pale blue dot’, far out there in space, was an artwork that had relevance to everyone.
【4】 In the 52 years that have passed since Earthrise was taken, the humans on that little speck in space have increased the concentration of carbon dioxide in their atmosphere by almost 30 per cent, wiped out 60 per cent of its mammal, ‘bird, fish and reptile populations, and now teeter on the brink of environmental catastrophe.
【5】 Perhaps the result justified the carbon-intensive moans- but what about today’s explorers? What expectations and values should we place on modem-day adventurers as they travel and return, often with stories from our last remaining wildernesses?
A．Impressed deeply by the splendid scene, Anders never forgot it in his life.
B．This wasn’t the first time that art had proved to be an important tool for environmentalists.
C．Grabbing his camera, Anders captured the image that later moved the world.
D．Yet while Yellowstone, the world’s first national park, today enjoys a little of protection, our planet is in serious trouble.
E．Though Yellowstone still exists, people ignore our planet.
F．But Anders’ adventure on Apollo 8 went beyond national boundaries.
G．A lot of Co2 was produced when Apollo 8 was launched into orbit.
24、Dear Charlotte,
For the first time in my life, I’m making a really good income, and so is my husband. We could be saving a lot more, but instead we spend it on fun vacations and nice clothing. I went from a ten-year-old Japanese car to a Tesla, and a thrift-store (二手店) handbag to a super-nice one from France. I feel like I’ve become a new person I don’t recognize. How can I go back to being someone who’s fine with thrift-store items, instead of this one with a perfect house filled with nice things that don’t matter?
I understand why you miss your old life. It feels good to live simply and to work toward larger financial goals. The problem, it seems, is that you never really envisioned (设想) the life you’d lead once you actually had money to spare.
I doubt you may also be feeling a little bit lonely. Studies have found that transitioning to a higher socioeconomic class can be isolating (让人感到孤立的) because it moves people away from familiar social circles and into unfamiliar ones. It’s also tough to talk about—having big money isn’t exactly a “problem”, nor a situation that most people can relate to.
I suggest an exercise: Write down everything you spend your money on, every day, for a couple of weeks. Then look at your list and focus on the things that felt worthwhile and satisfying. In doing this exercise, you’ll probably find that spending money on experiences, especially ones that strengthen your relationships, makes you happier than buying items.
It sounds like you have some guilt. That’s normal. I don’t mean that you should feel bad about having money. Instead, it’s good to be aware that you’ve been lucky—plenty of people never get to see the fruits of their work in the same way that you have. Amanda Clayman, a financial adviser, recommends gratitude exercises. “When you focus more on what you have, it helps you stay focused on what’s important to you, instead of what you’re missing.” she says.
While your new life may seem unrecognizable, that doesn’t mean you’ve lost the goal and drive that got you there—you just need to learn to redirect them.
