21、It’s currently December and Christmas is almost here. And what better way to spend time with your loved ones than sitting down to watch some classic Christmas movies? Listed below are four films that will make you laugh, cry or both this Yuletide (圣诞节期间).
The Grinch (2000)
This is a Christmas must-watch and one of Jim Carrey’s best performances. It was also originally a children’s book written by Dr Seuss, which I would recommend reading! It’s the story of a green monster who wants to ruin Christmas, but who in the end discovers the power of love and generosity. It sounds cheesy and cliché (陈词滥调), but I promise it’s a great film with plenty of laughs along the way.
Love Actually (2003)
While this is not a personal favourite of mine, people in the UK absolutely Jove this film. It has a star-studded cast, featuring actors and actresses such as Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman. It might be a little difficult to follow as there are lots of different sub-plots, so I recommend watching a dubbed version (配音版) in your native language. However, the heart-warming elements of the film make it worth watching.
Home Alone (1990)
This blockbuster (轰动一时的电影) is one of my favourite films of all time and I would watch it all year round if I could. It tells the story of a boy, Kevin, who is left alone in his house when his large family forget to take him on vacation with them. While the family are away, burglars (小偷) try to rob the house and Kevin must protect his home by setting traps. The trips, falls and traps will have you laughing out loud as you watch a 10-year old boy outsmart two grown men.
Miracle on 34th Street (1994)
You can’t have Christmas in an English-speaking country without watching this film. It’s not funny like Home Alone or The Grinch, but it is incredibly touching. It’s about a man who claims to be Santa, but nobody believes him except a lawyer and a little girl. The storyline may seem a little childish, but you can enjoy it at any age. I cry every time I watch it and I’m 21!
【1】In which film can you see Jim Carrey’s wonderful performance?
A．The Grinch.
B．Love Actually.
C．Home Alone.
D．Miracle on 34th Street.
【2】What can we know about Love Actually?
A．It’s one of the authors favorite films.
B．We’d better watch a clubbed version.
C．It’s a film about the power of love and generosity.
D．Some handkerchief papers are necessary when you watch it.
【3】What do the film Home Alone and The Grinch have in common?
A．They are very touching.
B．They are only fit for children.
C．They are funny and make people laugh a lot.
D．They are popular and tell a story about kids.
22、Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between High School Summer College and a summer camp?
Stanford ‘ s High School College is an academically selective program that provides access to college education at one of America ‘ s most respected universities. Summer College is not a summer camp, but an eight-week college experience that provides academic, social, and intellectual opportunities that cannot be found in a high school classroom.
What kind of students are you looking for?
We are looking for academically motivated high school students who are ready for a college experience.

Can I get a job to earn money during my time at Stanford?
High School Summer College students are expected to participate fully in our program. In addition to class time and study time, there are many daily and weekly activities scheduled for the group. To truly benefit from the summer experience, our students should be completely involved in all aspects of the program. High School Summer College students will receive no permission to work during their time on campus.

23、Excellence is a form of currency. While a commitment to excellence can help you gain true wealth and realize the inbuilt value of your potential, a lack of commitment devalues potential and reputation.
If you are to become the person you were meant to be on the day you were born, do whatever you do with all your might. 【1】 If you accept being average and ordinary, life will make you average and ordinary.
【2】But it has everything to do with decision, commitment and action. And excellence is a destination for anyone who appreciates, respects, and demonstrates hard work and good judgement! 【3】 So attempt to make every opportunity one of importance because every opportunity counts.
What is considered excellent today will become the minimum cost of admission tomorrow.
【4】 Obviously, the bar is constantly being raised. If you don't produce excellent results consistently, someone else will.
There is no mercy period for averageness, and you must have a zero tolerance policy for it. People expect the best. 【5】 So never relax the rules of excellence. When you come to terms with quality, you suffer physical and emotional withdrawal from your goals. You should have the belief that the efficiencies of your business and life are infinite, that everything can be improved upon, that every project can be completed in an excellent fashion. Why? Because when it comes to excellence, everything counts!
A．Being average is a choice.
B．You're only as good as your last performance.
C．It creates confidence and enhances peace of mind.
D．And we reduce them when we accept being average.
E．If they can't get it from you, they'll find it elsewhere.
F．You will never live longer than its importance and usefulness.
G．Being world-class has nothing to do with size, education, or bloodline.
24、It's Friday morning in the year 2025, and you're running late. You got distracted watching the music video that as playing in the corner of your bathroom mirror while you were brushing your teeth. How will you get to your office at Mega Giga Industries on time?
A quick check of your Internet-connected refrigerator magnet tells you your train which travels at speeds up to 250 miles an hour as it electromagnetically(电磁的) hovers above its guide track is a bit behind schedule, too. So you decide to drive your environmentally-friendly hydrogen(氢气) fuel cell car instead or rather let your car drive you. It's programmed to know the way, and it will get you there without speeding, getting lost, or crashing.
Sealing into your office chair, which changes color to match what you're wearing, you pick up yesterday morning's newspaper. Printed on reusable electronic paper, it instantly rewrites itself with today's headlines. Now it's time for your big meeting. Uh-oh!
You've left your handwritten notes at home. No problem! The digital ink pen you used has stored an electronic copy of what you wrote.
Your wrist(手腕) watch videophone suddenly rings. Your best friend's face pops up on the organic light-emitting diode (二极管) screen asking what you're doing this weekend. Will you slap on your 3D contact lenses and play virtual soccer with the US Olympic team? No, no. Your friend says, so you have to take the new nanotube elevator (made of microscopic fibers many times stronger than steel) 60,000 miles into space.
