21、 Many people, some even at a very young age, set the goal of graduating from college. One American woman in Texas waited a long time for her chance to reach that goal.
The woman, 85-year-old Janet Fein, received her bachelor’s degree (学士学位) from the University of Texas in December, 2018.
Fein has had a full life. She raised five children and then had a career as a secretary (秘书) until she retired at age 77. But even then, she was not ready to take it easy and rest during a well-earned retirement. She decided to major in sociology (社会学).
Fein grew up in the Bronx area of New York City. In high school, she just wanted to finish and get a job. After graduating early, at the age of 16, she went to work as a secretary.
After getting married, she spent 18 years staying home with her children. She held several jobs throughout her life, including being a secretary at a Dallas hospital. That is the job she retired from in 2011. She received an associate degree (专科学位) in 1995. But she also wanted to earn a bachelor’s degree. Fein took part in a state program that lets people who are 65 and older take free classes at public universities in Texas.
She kept going to class even as her health condition worsened. During her studies, it became necessary for her to use a walker to get around and she needed oxygen (氧气) too. She also developed knee problems. So, Fein took online classes to finish the last part of her degree requirements.
Renee Brown is one of Fein’s care-givers. She says Fein has also inspired her. At 53, she plans to begin nursing school to further her career. Brown says Fein told her, “Renee, you can do it. If I can do it, you also can do it, and you will feel so good about it.”

23、Meet Boji. He is often seen waiting on train platforms and riding buses around town. He takes commuting so seriously that he has become an international celebrity and a VIP for all commuters in Istanbul. Actually, Boji is a much-loved stray animal with large brown eyes and golden fur.
Boji was first spotted riding the subway in August. He caught people’s attention because he seemed to understand how to use the transport system. “We noticed a dog using our subways and trains. He let passengers get off before jumping onto the train and knew where to get out,” Aylin Erol from Metro Istanbul said.
Vets took Boji in for a check up, placing a GPS tracker on him so they could record his journeys. They soon discovered that this traveling dog covers some 30 kilometers onpublic transport a day, using at least 29 subway stations. So he was nicknamed Boji, theTurkish word for “subway car”.
Stray animals are a regular part of life in Istanbul. As a large city in the world, Istanbul is also home to 150,000 stray dogs and cats. As locals have been known to feed and leave water for these street animals for centuries, stray animals are a regular part of life for the residents of Istanbul.
Yet a traveling dog is new even for Istanbul residents. “You take the train and, suddenly, you see Boji. You just smile and catch the moment. Boji reminds us that we can still enjoy Istanbul as we rush about. This sweet dog sits upright on trains watching the world go by. As he travels, he brings smiles and warmth to tired passengers,” Erol told Reuters.
【1】Why did Boji draw people's attention?

B.He could understand commuters’ orders.
C.He had experiences of living on streets.

24、How to Remove Negative Thoughts
Do you seem to wake up on the wrong side of the bed every day? Don't be discouraged.【1】Learn to catch these thoughts and then replace them with positive exercises.
Recognize your negative thoughts
【2】Write down a sentence or two describing the negative thoughts. Take a little time to reflect on these thoughts. Ask yourself how strongly you believe these thoughts about yourself and how you feel.
Test the truth of the thought
Make two columns under the negative thought: one to list evidence for your negative thought; the other for evidence against your negative thought.【3】Analyze your thoughts to see if they have any basis in truth, instead of accepting them without question.
【4】
Extreme words like "terrible" and "disaster" shouldn't apply to minor unhappiness. Replace these words with encouraging thoughts or praise.

Surround yourself with positive social support

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。
It’s a beautiful sunny day. The Bonds boarded their boat for a carefree day trip to Dove Island for some fishing as a family custom. Thomas Bond, a 30-year-old construction worker, loved the sport, especially catching bass (鲈鱼) and had impressed on his oldest daughter, Lizzy, a love of the outdoors, teaching her how to bait (下诱饵) a hook and cast a line and brave the waves.
The family spent the day fishing in the vast ocean, and then left the island in the early evening. Upon setting off from the shore, they found thick fog rolling in. Lizzy fell into a light sleep beside her five-year-old sister, Molly, at a table on the boat’s lower deck (甲板). Their father’s sharp orders woke her up: “Get out of the boat. The boat’s sinking!” Lizzy pushed her sister into the cold, dark water. Both girls wore life jackets. The adults did not. The girls were followed by their mother, Petra Bond, who was expecting a baby at that time. Within seconds, the boat was damaged and was left just the tip of its bow in the air.
Looking into the faces of her father, mother, and sister, Lizzy wasn’t frightened. After some time, her father told them he would swim for help. “I’ll be back,” he said before disappearing into the darkness.
“Dad is like the superhero to me. I believe he will get help to rescue us,” Lizzy said to herself. After some time, her mother became quiet and stopped swimming. Lizzy wrapped a rope around her mother’s chest and tied her to the boat so she wouldn’t float away. Then her sister fell quiet too and she stayed beside her.
To keep herself awake, Lizzy daydreamed about what they would do after they were rescued. They would stay in a hotel, order room service, and lie comfortably under the blankets in bed, cozy and warm.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After several hours, Lizzy heard her name called in the distance.
