21、After his father was rushed to the hospital with brain bleeding, 43-year-old Yanatha Desouvre began to panic. So he did one thing he knew would calm himself —writing. 【1】 He wrote about his worry as well as his happy memories with his dad. “Writing allowed me to face my fear,’’ says Desouvre.
Psychologists refer to this kind of writing as “expressive writing’’, whose idea is to write about a painful experience or difficult situation. James Pennebaker, a psychology professor at the University of Texas, says hundreds of studies over several decades have looked at the potential benefits of expressive writing and found it can strengthen the immune system, including people with illnesses such as cancer and depression. 【2】
Expressive writing works because it allows you to make meaning out of a painful experience. 【3】 Then, translating that experience into language forces you to organize your thoughts. And writing it out gives you a sense of control. It can increase someone’s acceptance of their experience, and acceptance is calming.
What if you don’t consider yourself “a writer”? 【4】 Instead, do dig deep into your thoughts and feelings. The goal of the expressive writing is to find meaning in an unsettling event.
【5】 Expressive writing isn’t a magical panacea (灵丹妙药). It shouldn’t be used as a replacement for other treatments. And people suffering from a severe depression may not find it useful to do on their own.
A.But there are a few warnings.
B.Don’t worry about spelling or grammar.
C.Yet it can be a powerful curing tool for many people.
D.Over the next few weeks, he filled several notebooks.
E.The mere act of writing out can control the brain activity.
F.It can also help reduce pain and improve mood, sleep, and memory.
G.Recognizing that something is bothering you is an important first step.
22、It’s good to make mistakes, and here is why.
First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? The simple answer is “You can’t”. Look around you. With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new.
Another good thing about mistakes is this: When you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.
Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why?
Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some number of things before you succeeded. Every time you make a mistake you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer.
But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake. Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn’t work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again.
We all have limited resources in the form of time and money, so don’t blow them all on one approach to a problem. Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and allocate(分配)these resources appropriately so you can learn, make corrections, and try it again. Only by accepting and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career.
There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough.”
So go forth and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And prosper(成功).
【1】From the second paragraph, we can conclude that _______.
A. mistakes are unnecessary for development
B. we are afraid of trying new things
C. it’s common for people to make mistakes
D. mi stakes are better than not trying
【2】The underlined word “eliminate” means _______.
A. avoid B. remove C. accept D. solve
【3】According to the article, one thing you should pay attention to about making mistakes is______ .
A. avoiding making the same mistakes
B. accepting the punishment willingly
C. taking consequences into account
D. trying things out one by one
【4】What would the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake?
A. Never mind, I can always try again.
B. I’d better stay out of trouble.
C. Ok! Now I can learn something.
D. Look at this mess. Anyone would be upset.
23、Today was my first day at senior high and it was hard. In high school, we have 4 minutes to get to our next class. My high school is very big and those 4 minutes to go from one class to another really isn’t a lot of time. Today I had to go from one end of the building to the other to get from science class to math class. I wanted to go to my locker (储物柜) first and leave my science book there, but that took time. I was worried about being late, and I was. The math teacher said, “Just be on time tomorrow, or you’ll have detention(放学后留校).”
After math, I went to art class. I like my art class a lot because I get to create things. The teacher there showed us how to make portraits(肖像). He explained, “A portrait is a way of communicating with a person. It does not just show how the person looks but what is important to understand the person.” We just did drawings today, but I know it’s going to be great. I like drawing.
I like my English class, too. I think the teacher is really supportive. Today we wrote about ourselves. The teacher said that we just needed to write what we thought, and we would pay attention to punctuation(标点) later. We could write a paragraph or a poem, and I wrote a poem about myself. I thought it was a good poem, and the teacher said I had used good images (意象) to communicate my feelings.
Lunch was very hurried. I arrived at the dining room with 12 minutes to eat. I sat with people I didn’t know, and everyone was eating quickly. After lunch I signed up for a computer club. I needed to learn how to use a computer well because my social studies teacher said it is the one skill we need in every class.

24、If you have a little child, who hates sitting in a car seat, then the FreedomRide is the answer to your problem.
Would you want to be stuck in an unchangeable position every time you’re in the car? No. You wouldn’t.
When an adult sits in a car for any length of time, we stretch, we change the position, we move our legs again and again. We do this without thinking. But kids in a traditional car seat can’t do this. They are stuck in one position, and they can’t move. We move because the circulation of blood needs to be recovered in our legs as we sit in the same position for any longer.
In a traditional car seat, the child can’t move to reduce the pain, so it puts them in anger.
The FreedomRide lets them have a little freedom, and still be safe. The 5-Point Harness(背带)gives them additional safety over a traditional child car seat.
I am the Webmaster for islandbreeze.com, and when JoeySafe asked us to redo their website, I was attracted by this system. That is because I have two small children, both girls, aged 3 and 4 and we obviously use car seats. I lived in Southern California, and every couple of months, my wife, the girls and I, go to see grandma who lives in Nevada. It’s a 5-hour drive, so the FreedomRide works well. Our trips are so much better now, especially since there is more room in the car without the car seats.
The FreedomRide really did make it easier to go on trips. The only thing you need when you use the JoeySafe instead of your old child car seat is a pillow. Besides, my kids want to take a pillow anyway! As a dad, I feel safe driving with the kids in the FreedomRide. I am a very safety-oriented person.
【1】From the text we can infer the FreedomRide is a _______.
A. car seat B. car for children
C. safety belt D. game on islandbreeze.com
【2】The FreedomRide is likely to be designed for________.
A. a person hating sitting in the car for long
B. an adult often driving a traditional car
C. a child requiring some freedom in the car
D. a driver needing comfortable seats
【3】The purpose of the last two paragraphs may be to ________.
A. support the topic of the child car safety
B. describe the advantage of the FreedomRide
C. introduce the detail of the author’s work and web.
D. describe what the author does with his child car seat
【4】The next part following the last paragraph may mention________.
A. the way of ordering B. the way of communicating
C. the inventor of this product D. the advantage of the product
25、One firm's crisis is another's opportunity. A shortage-of semiconductors has helped pump up the valuations of firms such as Nvidia, whose chips power everything from video-gaming to machine learning and data centres. But boom time for sellers means _________ for buyers. Carmakers, whose products have become computers on wheels, are among the victims. Profits at
Ford, America's second-biggest carmaker by volume, fell by half in the most recent quarter amid a global shortage of chips.Analysts say the industry might build around 5m fewer cars this year, all _________ their tiniest components.
Carmakers are not the only firms feeling the pinch.Apple and Microsoft have also warned that they will be affected.Politicians are being drawn in, too. Chips will be on the _________ later this month when America's vice-president, Kamala Harris, visits Vietnam, which has a flourishing electronics industry, Angela Merkel, the outgoing German chancellor, has lamented. Europe's small share of global chip production.
The shortage is the result of a sudden surge in demand.Chipmaking is a _______ business which, between the peaks and troughs, has been enjoying strong growth for decades as computers creep into every comer of society.That trend was _________ by the pandemic. Locked-down consumers shopped online, logged into meetings remotely, and wiled away the hours with video-streaming and video-gaming.The result has been a sharp increase in demand for the semiconductors that power the data centres and gadgets that make such things possible, logging factories with _________ .
The crisis has had three consequences, two _________ and one less so.The first is an investment boom.Big producers such as Intel, Samsung and tsme are planning to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on extra capacity over the next few years. As in many markets, high prices are the best cure for high prices.
The second is that the chip industry's customers are adapting, too. When demand _______ early in the pandemic, carmakers cut their orders with chipmakers.The car industry's size and power mean that it is used to ordering suppliers around. But when demand recovered, it found itself at the back of the queue, because of long lead times and competition for capacity from the even bigger and more influential tech industry.
The unpleasant experience of being the supplicant rather than the boss has prompted carmakers to take tighter control over supplies of vital components.Following in the tyre-treads of Tesla, Volkswagen has announced plans to develop driver-assistance chips in-house.Other firms are forming closer relationships with chipmakers. Toyota, a Japanese firm, has _________ the shortage relatively well, partly because it was slower to cut orders when the pandemic hit. In June Robert Bosch, a big supplier of automotive parts, cut the ________ on a €1bn($l.2bn) chip factory of its own in Dresden.Redesigned supply chains will be more resilient.
The third, __________ effect has been a surge of techno-nationalism.America is planning to ____________ billions of dollars to lure chipmakers back from East Asia.Europe wants to double its share of global production, to 20%, by 2030. Even Britain has declared the fate of a small chip factory in Wales to be a matter of national security.
There is some force in the argument that chips have come to occupy what used to be called the " ________ heights" of an economy, in the way that oil refineries or car factories did in the 20th century. The concentration of production in Taiwan, __________, is an uncomfortable geopolitical risk. But as last century's governments discovered, subsidies lead to overcapacity and oversupply—and, eventually, to yet more calls for public money to prop up uncompetitive businesses.The chip shortage is mostly a ________ problem.Governments should resist the temptation to see themselves as saviours.
