21、 Even for native speakers, the English language is full of traps. That’s why people are so hesitant to use whom instead of who, and why thinking about the differences between lay and lie gives even language professors a headache. 【1】
Both words describe similar situations, with only one letter separating them. Though they’re often used interchangeably(可交换地), there is a difference between them. For anyone who struggles with grammar, it seems really hard to make a choice.
【2】 Farther and further are both used in relation to progress, but the type of progress they describe differs. Farther is used for physical distance, such as “he can run farther than before”.
【3】 For example, “she was interrupted before she could go further in her speech.” This can remind you to use farther when describing things like trips and walks, and save further for concepts like projects, education, and dreams.
This distinction is clear enough, but it is hard to decide when it’s not totally obvious whether it is dealing with physical or abstract distance. 【4】 If the progress being referred to is lines on a page, farther works just fine, but if the speaker is talking about the poem as a piece of art, further may be more appropriate. In such instances, it’s usually safest to use further, usage for farther is slightly stricter, and since further deals with situations that are hard to define, you can get away with using it in more contexts (语境).
【5】 After all, lots of great writers have been using farther and further interchangeably for centuries.
A.However, further is used for abstract concepts.
B.With the tips above, you will never be confused.
C.Similarly, further is used to describe specific things.
D.Luckily there’s an easy trick to remember the difference.
E.One more common trap is when to use farther and further.
F.If you still get them mixed up, don’t let it bother you too much.
G.Take the sentence “the writer got farther in her poem” for example.
22、Rejection doesn’t have to be about the big stuff like not getting into your top college. Everyday situations can lead to feelings of rejection, too, like if your joke didn’t get a laugh, if no one remembered to save you a seat at the lunch table, or if the person you really like talks to everyone but you. Rejection hurts. But it’s impossible to avoid it altogether. The only thing we should do is to learn to handle it. 【1】. So how can you build that ability?
Be Honest About Your Feelings
If you get rejected, admit how intense your feelings are. Don’t try to brush off the hurt or pretend it’s not painful. Then, move on to name what you’re feeling. For example: “I feel really disappointed that I didn’t get chosen for the school play. I wanted it so badly and I tried so hard. I feel left out because my friends made it and I didn’t.” 【2】.
Examine Your Thought Soundtrack
When you are rejected, it’s natural to wonder, “Why did this happen?” When you give yourself an explanation, be careful to stick to the facts. Tell yourself: “I got turned down for prom because the person didn’t want to go with me.” Don't tell yourself: “I got turned down because I’m not attractive” or “I’m such a loser.” 【3】. Next time, if put-down thoughts start creeping into your mind, shut them down.
【4】
A rejection is chance to consider if there are things we can work on. It’s OK to think about whether there’s room for improvement or if your goals were higher than your skills. 【5】. But if you approach it right, it could help nudge you in a direction that turns out to be the perfect fit for your talents, personality, and all the really great things that make you who you are.
A.Acknowledging feelings helps you move beyond painful emotions.
B.This kind of thinking crowds out hope and a belief in ourselves.
C.Be Patient When Rejected.
D.Dwelling on the negative feelings can feel like living the experience over and over again.
E.Sometimes a rejection is a harsh reality check.
F.The better we get at dealing with rejection, the less it affects us.
G.Use Rejection to Your Advantage.
23、The best thing to start your day is a good breakfast. In fact, many people believe that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. In China, porridge with pickles (咸菜), baozi, noodles, soybean milk and youtiao are common breakfast foods. What are breakfasts in other countries like? Let’s take a look!
US
In the US, a good Sunday morning starts with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon or juicy sausages, and soft pancakes with butter and sweet syrup on top. On busy weekdays, most people in the US like to eat cereal with milk, bread and fruit for breakfast. Some people also drink coffee.
Canada
Canada is the largest producer of maple syrup. People usually have pancakes with maple syrup for breakfast. Canadian bacon is a popular dish for breakfast as well. Canadian bacon is quite unlike the crispy bacon of the United States. It tastes more like ham and is served in thin round slices.
Britain
The British breakfast is similar to the American breakfast. A basic British breakfast consists of fried eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, baked (烘) beans, and tomatoes. These foods are popular among young people in Britain. Usually, British people have coffee, tea or milk to drink. Some people also like to drink orange juice.
Japan
Most people in Japan these days – at least in big cities – eat a quick Western-style breakfast like eggs, toast, juice and coffee. Those who prefer more traditional foods are likely to have tea and miso soup with rice. Steamed rice is necessary for a Japanese-style breakfast. People also add nori seaweed or a little raw egg to their rice.

24、When I was reading a post about taking someone to the movies, something happened a couple of years ago suddenly hit me.
I used to drink Cokes and they had a competition where there was a code inside the bottle cap. You might win something so long as you went to a website and entered the code. I won some free Cokes. But what astonished and delighted me was the Grand Prize I won then.
The Grand Prize was free movies for a year. They pointed out that one movie a week was what free movies for a year meant. All of the tickets were valid(有效的)for one year from the day I received them. So I must use them in the following year. 1 used quite a few taking friends to movies we all wanted to see.
Then I donated 20 tickets(all I had left by that time)to the local Women's Transition House. Women and children could go there when they want to avoid a bad situation in general and get help to make a new start. It was the best thing I did with the tickets.
My workplace team had decided to help people in need, so we collected donations for that particular New Year's Day. I knew that the Women's Transition House provided some childcare for the women so they could go for job interviews and things like that.
I put those tickets in a box and wrote a note on the outside. And I asked the Women's Transition House staff to give movie tickets to women there over the holidays to have some fun to do, with or without their children, which made me really happy.

“_______ , most of the fathers had the same reaction as you did.” The teacher said, “When I first ________ we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say.
