21、A tender woman, or an independent one, which one would you prefer? A recent research shows that most people would choose the latter.
This type of woman is called a nühanzi (“tough woman”). Experts believe these characteristics have social and psychological roots among young females in China. Su Hao’s friends all call her a tough woman, because she can finish tough tasks usually carried out by men. For example, she carries 10-litre water to her dormitory on the 5th floor. “I depend on no one but myself,” she says.
According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily, tough women have become rather common in society. Of the 21, 265 respondents, 78.5 percent said they are familiar with a tough woman. About 50 percent said they like women with tough characteristics, while less than 29 percent expressed the opposite view.
Why are tough women gaining popularity? Shen Meng, a psychological consultant, believes the fierce competition in society is contributing to this trend. “Women are often in a disadvantaged position compared to men,” Shen says. “In order to survive, they have to be independent, strong and tough.” LiuXiaolin, professor of psychology at Wuhan Mental Health Center, believes tough women are brought up this way. “They are often on close relationship with their fathers, who teach their daughters to be brave and decisive,” he says. As a result, these women are more likely to be psychologically healthy and more tolerant to stress, according to Liu.
Though Liu believes that this is a good trend, Hu Shenzhi, a psychologist at the Guangdong Sunflower Counseling Center, says the popularity of tough woman indicates an unclear line between gender identities, which can lead to relationship problems. “Some women with characteristics that differ from the traditional female image may have a difficult time finding Mr Right,” he says. “Even if they get married, their manly characteristics might cause family conflicts.”

22、China’s largest water diversion project(引水工程) may start supplying water to Shandong Province by 2007 and Beijing by 2010, an official confirmed Tuesday.
The worsening water shortage in the two areas, caused by decades of drought, may be alleviated with water from the mighty Yangtze River in the South which will be diverted into the parched North, he said. The water diversion project consists of three 1,300-kilometre canals that will carry water from the Yangtze along the eastern, middle and western parts of the country.
Zhang Jiyao,director of the state Concil’s office in charge of the South to North Project, told a national conference that ground will be broken in more places along two of the lines of the ambitious water diversion scheme,the largest of its kind in the world.
Before next year’s flood season, construction of four new sections along the two lines will push the project further along the fast track. That would bring the total sections under construction to 13,since construction started in 2002 with an estimated investment of 124 billion yuan(about US $15 billion).
When finished, the two water diversion canals will be capable of transferring 13.4 billion cubic meters of water a year.

23、Parents can begin good organization (条理) habits with preschool-age kids, Experts recommend asking them to do small, simple actions on a regular basis with the help of parents. Maybe they open their bags and bring their lunch bag to the kitchen, or take their shoes off at the door and put them in a nearby closet. These won’t save parents much time but they will help develop good habits.
When kids enter primary school, they should be ready for more responsibility. This is the time to teach them about daily routines, and help them take control over theirs. Parents and children might sit down together and make a list of everything that needs to be done to get out of the house in the morning, or get ready for bed at night. Together, parents should figure out how long each activity takes, and when the best time to do them is. Some of the kids might want to get their bags ready and pick out their clothes the night before.
It’s also wise to create a firm schedule for homework. When do kids do their homework? How long do they need? Where do they do it? Where will the homework go once it is done? Figure them out and stick to the schedule as much as possible.
Parents should print up these task lists and help kids finish them step by step. Kids might even check them off each morning or evening. Also, make sure there are clocks in the rooms in which these tasks will take place. Time management is an important part of learning organization, but it can’t be done if kids don’t know what time it is.
Organization gives kids the chance to make it possible to focus on a task and complete it. Kids tend to be more motivated to learn organization skills if they see organization as a challenge to overcome, rather than a fault to repair.
【1】Why are kids advised to do small and simple actions?
A．To save parents time.
B．To join a school organization.

B．Finish the daily tasks for kids.
C．Assist kids in finishing the daily tasks.
D．Let the kid finish the daily tasks alone.
【3】What does the author think of organization for kids?
A．It is a fault to repair.
B．It is nothing special.
C．It is easy to achieve.
D．It is a helpful skill.
24、How Kids Express Gratitude
Taking time as a family to practice gratitude doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming and the benefits your children will get are profound. Today we’ll be discussing ideas to help your children express their gratitude.
Make a gratitude tree. Start with a large piece of craft paper and draw a tree trunk. 【1】Each day ask your kids to think of something they’re thankful for, write it on a leaf and tape it to the tree trunk.
Go grocery shopping for a family in need. Many stores now offer premade bags to donate right at the checkout line. While this is convenient, the larger the role they play in the act of giving, the bigger the effect it will have on your kids. 【2】
Express your thankfulness for the ones you love. 【3】Print the photos in a 5＂× 7＂ size and ask the kids to write a short note on the back explaining why they’re grateful to that person. Family members, especially those who don’t live nearby, will cherish the present.
Volunteer together. Pick a regular time, maybe one Saturday a month, and volunteer together as a family. 【4】One child may want to spend a day helping to clean up their favorite park while another might want to read books to nursing home residents.
【5】A regular gratitude practice is a wonderful habit to instill(逐渐灌输) into your children. In fact, studies have shown that people who feel gratitude on a daily basis are happier in general.

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Have you ever felt that you are training for hours on end and not getting the results you are hoping for? If you mostly feel that way, then you should know the training’s quality is more important than its length in terms of improving your abilities. Practicing deliberately can transform the way you train, thus sharpening your skills.
Practicing deliberately is practicing with intention and attention, as opposed to a mindlessly and unintentional way of just repeating the same things over and over again, leading on many occasions the same results. If we want to see a real improvement, especially in our areas of weakness, we should be more mindful of how we train. Practicing deliberately is practicing purposefully and systematically, meaning that staying focused, even for a short period, is an essential aspect of the training. As we’ve mentioned before, it’s not about how long you can practice; it’s merely about the quality of the training, the consistency of your training, and your ability to stay on task.
So how can we practice more deliberately? Firstly, feedback is vital. Whether it is self-feedback or from someone else. Examining and analyzing your performance is crucial for your improvement. Secondly, set appropriate goals, not too high as we have to keep ourselves motivated, yet not too low as we must consistently expand our comfort zone. For example, if you think your box-fighting game is weak, then invest your time there. Lastly, start practicing slowly and then pick up the pace. Starting slowly and building good foundations will help you to improve in practically every aspect. If you want to build good foundations and improve muscle memory, you should go slow. When going slow, we have a chance to analyze and process.
In conclusion, deliberate practice is one of the most useful techniques you can apply to improve your skills. Following the guidelines above will help you get the most out of your practice time. More than anything, the quality of your effort and the perseverance (坚持不懈) of your actions will determine how well you will do.
