21、Simple Ways to Value Yourself More
Self-value is the action that helps us match that self-worth. We can also think of self-value as another feeding element of the bigger umbrella term of self-worth. 【1】
Acknowledge the inner critic. We all have that loud inner voice that isn't always kind. When left unchecked, the inner critic can have destructive effects on our self-esteem. 【2】 Wresting with this critic is often a lifelong journey, but a first good step is to acknowledge it. When you can pause and acknowledge that it is calling the shots, you can learn to take back your power and value.
Receive a compliment (恭维). We’re so afraid of coming off as needy, that we hardly ever receive the good words someone sends our way. Really, the true problem here is that we don't often believe we're worthy of the compliment! The beautiful truth here is that we don't often see ourselves in the same way others see us. 【3】
Be grateful for effort. 【4】 We don't always stop to examine just how much effort we put forth in everyday living. One way to value yourself more is to be grateful for everything you do. It's easy to be critical and wish you'd done better, but you're always doing the best that you can.
【5】 When things don't go as planned, practice forgiveness. When people hurt you, practice forgiveness. Forgiveness is the free remedy that can alleviate so much of our suffering when we hold onto bitterness. It's worthy of implementing it into our everyday life.
A．Forgive yourself often.
B．It often stops us trusting in ourselves.
C．It's not always easy to show up to life.
D．This is no place for our self-worth to grow.
E．Practice positive confirmation in the Mirror.
F．So, next time someone praise you, receive their words fully.
G．Valuing ourselves is shown in various ways, many of which are highlighted below.
22、Zhang Yufu and some 100 other truck drivers in Yunnan province were given a special assignment on Aug 3, 2021, by the company — to follow a herd of 14 Asian elephants.
Experts said the team’s work marked a significant breakthrough in efforts to guide the animals back to their habitats. Crossing the river meant the herd was heading toward more suitable habitats, which would also help increase stability and security for the animals.
Since the 14 wild Asian elephants left their habitat in 2020 and kept wandering toward the north, they had drawn attention from across China and the world. Authorities in Yunnan had fed the elephants tons of food and used police cars, trucks, diggers and drones to guide the herd away from city areas, and eventually lead them back to their habitat safely.
The Asian elephant is listed as an “endangered” species and is under top-level protection in China. Yunnan is the only habitat for wild Asian elephants in China. By building 11 nature reserves, the population of the Asian elephant in China has risen from 170 in the 1970s to over 300 in 2021, according to the Yunnan provincial forestry and grassland department.
Although climate and a willingness among the elephants to move were key factors in the herd moving toward home, the efforts of scientists and workers also played a major role.
For example, the water flow per second rate of the Yuanjiang River rose greatly in August 2021, compared to May that same year when the herd first crossed it. To avoid danger, the Yuxi headquarters decided to guide the elephants across the Yuanjiang Bridge near National Highway 213. The local government also sent workers to promote safety in areas populated by 73,000 people.
“Although the herd broke away from the designed route a number of times, it finally crossed the bridge, with the safety of humans and the animals secured,” said Yang Yingyong, executive deputy commander of the headquarters.
【1】What was the mission of the team in protecting the 14 Asian elephants?
A．To study their social behavior.
B．To shoot a documentary about them.
C．To protect them from being hunted.
D．To direct them back to their home.
【2】What was the key moment for the team’s work?
A．When the herd crossed the Yuanjiang Bridge.
B．When the herd started to interact with the team.
C．When the number of Asian elephants reached 300.
D．When 11 nature reserves were built for Asian elephants.
【3】What is Yang Yingyong’s attitude to the result of the team’s work?
A．Confused.
B．Indifferent.
C．Relieved.
D．Concerned.
【4】What does this report mainly tell us?
A．All people in Yunnan help guide elephants to safety.
B．The local government takes measures to protect Asian elephants.
C．Elephants are about to end their journey south and head for home.
D．Dedicated teamwork pays off for helping elephants return south.

24、At 39 weeks pregnant most women would only be thinking of racing to hospital. But not Amber Miller，who set off to run the Chicago Marathon while expecting her second child any day.
As she neared the final stage of the race，she began to feel pain in the stomach. But the determined athlete managed to cross the finish line in 6 hours and 25 minutes.
Unbelievably the Chicago race was not even baby June’s first marathon—Miller ran the Wisconsin Marathon earlier this year，four months pregnant. She also ran another marathon when she was about four months pregnant with her son，Caleb.
Although there was extra weight，the seasoned runner’s time was just 3 hours off her personal best.
Miller began to feel pain near the end of the race，but she was not sure if it was labor(分娩)，because she typically feels some pain when she runs while pregnant. After her race her husband drove her to Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield where she gave birth to the healthy 7 pounds,13 ounce baby.
Miller decided to run because she and her husband had already signed up for the race. The athletic mother said she experienced an enthusiastic welcome from crowds as she ran along. But the devoted runner，who had completed eight marathons，admitted that she did get a few strange looks along the course.
“I know what I can handle. This is something I’ve been doing for a long time，” the experienced marathon runner said.
June was born at 10∶29 p.m. on Sunday night after seven hours’ labor. “She’s absolutely perfect，” Miller said. “We are extremely happy，but very tired.”
After her surprising double achievement，Miller says she is planning to take some time off to concentrate on being a full-time mom.

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。
Going to the post office is usually a weekly event for me. I rarely give it any thought other than to drive there, go inside, and drop off my letter or package. However, our world has changed and now I must give careful consideration to this journey, as my age and preexisting condition put me into the “vulnerable” category. I am worried about getting infected with the pandemic. There are decisions that I need to make. Is this a package that must go out now? I conclude that it is. Is there anyone else who can take the package for me? I conclude there is not. So I have made two decisions already. Next, I must determine which of the two post offices closest to me would be the easiest one to accomplish my goal. I realize the larger one would be my best choice. Three decisions have been made!
On the drive over, I determined that I would look to see the number of cars in the parking lot before making my decision to go in. Upon arriving, I concluded that the car population was small enough, so I pulled into an empty space. My next thought was,” Perhaps I should wait for someone to come out and ask them to take my package in? “Then I realized, I would be making contact with a perfect stranger, and what was the difference between talking to that stranger and just going in and talking to the clerk? Next decision made, I walked inside. There were only two people and both were standing at the counters making their transactions (业务). I walked to the front of what was normally a very long line. I was standing alone, waiting for my turn. I was wondering whether this place had been disinfected (消毒) and was safe to stay here.
Shortly, I was called to the window. I could see that the postal clerk was aware of the fear in my eyes. She quietly stepped back from her station and signed to me to come forward. I stepped up to the counter and placed my package on the scale (秤).
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。
She then signed to me to step back.
