21、 Todd Steinkamp left his hotel around 5:30 a. m. for a funeral in Green Bay. Wisconsin. About half an hour into his journey on the road, he noticed a strange sound coming from the front tire (轮胎). By 7 a. m, he still had 70 miles ahead of him, but the noise was so loud that he knew he had no choice but to stop.
Steinkamp thought there was little chance anyone in the little town could help him so early in the morning. Still, he took his chance at a repair shop and asked for help. The worker Geib checked out the car. Geib told Steinkamp the wheel bearing (轴承) was failing. Fixing it would take a few hours. And without being repaired, the car couldn't go further.
Steinkamp started working out another plan. Could he rent a car somewhere? Geib went to the store across the street, but its only rental car wasn't available. Finding another place to rent would need a 40-mile drive. Steinkamp was unhappy and worried at that time. “However, Geib reached into his pocket, pulled out the key to his own truck and gave me,” Steinkamp said. With a smile, Geib said the truck could go 120 miles per hour if needed.
The men had met just 10 minutes before. They didn't know each other's names, but Geib did that. Steinkamp jumped in the truck and drove it to the funeral. When he came back to the shop seven hours later, he chatted with Geib. He thanked the 74-year-old worker, who turned a terrible day into a good one with a great lesson. Just be kind and help if you can.

22、If you are staying at the office until all hours of the night and then showing up before the start of the workday, you are a workaholic (工作狂). Such condition might be one of the hardest to break because it is one of the few socially acceptable conditions a person might have. 【1】 But being a workaholic can affect your health. You often have anxiety, do not have a social life, or are unhappy due to a lack of sleep.
Achieving a good balance between work and life can be difficult. 【2】 That’s because your health is the most important. These steps can help you achieve that balance.
【3】 If you normally stay at the office after work hours, pick a time to leave. Stick to that time every day. If you can’t manage to leave at 5:00 p. m. and you normally stay later than 8:00 p.m., set your time for 6:00 p. m. You can cut down another hour after a few weeks of the “new” late time.
Leave work at work as much as possible. Regardless of whether you work in an office or your home, do not check your work e-mail after work. Unless your job requires you to respond to emergencies, ignore texts and phone calls when you are off the clock.【4】
Don’t forget to socialize with people around you. Working all the time doesn’t leave room for play, which can be stressful on relationships. 【5】 Don’t discuss your work with them. Turn off your devices and give them 100% of your time while you are together.

23、Shopping is a big part of the holiday season,when families and friends gather together and exchange gifts.While the popularity of shopping online has grown,such practices are not always eco-friendly or timely,as gifts bought online must be packaged and shipped,wasting valuable resources and time.
The benefits of shopping locally go beyond convenience and reduce your carbon footprint.The following are a few ways that shopping locally this holiday season can directly benefit your community and the people who call it home.
When men and women shop locally,they are putting money back into their local communities.Local businesses may be owned by your neighbors,and it can be comforting to know that your holiday shopping dollars are going to support a neighbor instead of a large company.Local businesses also employ your neighbors,so shopping locally can strengthen the local economy by creating jobs.
Local businesses go a long way toward creating a neighborhood identity,and that identity can create a stronger sense of community among you and your neighbors.In addition,a unique community identity can make your town more attractive to outsiders,and can also attract more people to local businesses in your neighborhood.
The gifts you buy when shopping locally can also benefit your community.Gifts purchased from small local businesses tend to be more unique than items bought from national chains,as smaller retailers tend to sell more home-made items than their national competitors.Recipients of such items may find such gifts more thoughtful than mass produced items bought from national chains.
The accessibility of customer service is another benefit of shopping locally.When you buy something from national chains,especially during the holiday season when such businesses may have to deal with orders,making contact with customer service departments can be a test of patience.A long wait on the phone or online can make the process of contacting customer service departments extremely frustrating.But such frustration is rare when shopping from local businesses,as consumers can simply buy their products in the store.In addition,shopping locally makes it more convenient for friends and family members who also live in your community to return their gifts.
【1】The author referred to shopping online in the passage to .
A. imply it is convenient to shop online
B. show it has been popular with the public
C. imply shopping locally is better than that
D. tell people they should stop wasting resources
【2】It can be inferred from the third paragraph that .
A. local businesses are in poor management
B. shopping locally can help some people get jobs
C. a large company usually gains much profit
D. few people support local businesses
【3】If people love the products from a local business, .
A. the business will raise the price of its products
B. the products will be sold in the distant places
C. it will help develop the community a lot
D. the community will turn into a tourist destination
【4】What does the underlined word “Recipients” mean in the passage?
A. The persons who receive something.
B. The persons who donate something.
C. The persons who sell something.
D. The persons who purchase something.
24、It’s the middle of winter, and the prospect of warm sunny days is a long way off. For some of us, it’s the most depressing time of year, where daylight is limited and the weather is often miserable-this is when the winter blues set in. 【1】
The shorter days and longer nights can make us feel down, and that can cause us to eat more and exercise less. 【2】Those people who suffer this seasonal mood swing more seriously are described as having seasonal affective disorder—or SAD for short. It’s a type of depression with a seasonal pattern caused by a lack of light and is thought to affect the part of the brain that rules sleep, appetite, mood and activity levels.
Jenny Scott-Thompson is one person who was diagnosed with SAD. She said, “I struggled with periods of tiredness and sadness. 【3】 ” She was prescribed(开处方)light therapy, which involved sitting in front of a light box. As well as going outside during daylight hours, this is believed to help anyone who is affected by the winter gloom.
Although having more light is an obvious cure, antidepressants(抗抑郁药)can help those with more severe depression by artificially elevating the amount of serotonin(五羟色胺)in the brain. But this isn’t suitable for everyone. 【4】 Laura Keyes says, “It can be helpful to think about how to adapt your eating and exercise patterns to the change of season, just as this happens in nature with plants and animals adapting. ”
【5】 However, accepting winter and thinking positively may energize us. Writing for the BBC Social website, Esther De La Ford asks “ What if we explored what this phase of winter has to offer us, instead of grieving(悲伤)those things that it is taking away ? ” She suggests we use this time for rest, reflection, slowing down, stillness and renewal. Maybe this might stop us longing for summer.
A．It might sound easier said than done.
B．So what can be done to lift our spirits?
C．How can you adapt to the winter season?
D．Some fear loneliness during long dark months.
E．It made me feel comfortable under a light box.
F．Many of us can try to just change our attitude.
G．It was too much for what was going on in my life.
