21、 Stress simply means the way a person reacts to things that happen to him or her. 【1】Problems that have something to do with health such as getting injured, having difficulties with a disease, etc. can make some people feel stressed. Young children may feel stressed when they go to a new place. Other people could feel stressed because of not having enough money.【2】Saving “no” when you’re asked to help with work is sometimes helpful. Taking more work than you can possibly achieve can be stressful. That you feel you can achieve something doesn't mean that you should take it on personally. After all, there are only a certain number of hours in a day.
Laughter is indeed the best medicine for any problem including stress. Sometimes we get so busy with all kinds of plans and endless meetings that we forget to have fun. 【3】
Hobbies can also be a great way to manage stress. 【4】 While hobbies like listening to music and reading can take your mind off your worries, creative hobbies like painting, gardening and the like can help in keeping your self-respect, too.
In a word, stress is like a leaking fountain (漏水的喷泉).【5】 Leaving it ignored will only make the matter worse.

B．So try and watch movies and shows that are funny.
C．There are different reasons why people get stressed.

E．Speaking to people you believe in is a great way to reduce stress.

G．Luckily, whatever causes, there are also different ways to deal with stress.
22、 Kendrick Lamar hasn't had much luck when it comes to winning a Grammy (格莱美奖). But that's OK. The US rapper (说唱歌手) has just won a Pulitzer Prize for his music.
In 2017, in 2019, and again this year. Lamar was nominated (提名) for an album of the year Grammy. Each time, he was beaten out, first by Taylor Swift, next by Daft Punk, and most recently by Bruno Mars.
But the Pulitzer Prize committee was inspired enough by Lamar's 2020 album, Damn，to award the 30-year-old its Pulitzer Prize in music on April 16. It's an amazing album that documents the real life of modern African-Americans in South Los Angeles with wildly accomplished beats and rhythms.
Lamar's win is considered to be historical. The Pulitzers have long displayed their preference toward high art rather than the pop culture of the masses. So it's not just that no rapper has ever won a Pulitzer: no pop music maker has ever won one in the award's 75-year history.
But Lamar is not just a singer—he's clever at using language. Like the best writers, his music describes small moments that illustrate (阐明) larger points. His songs are about his experience as a black man who grew up in California, struggled, got into trouble, and found his way out by working hard and making sense of the history and reality of racial problems in the US.
"He's an artist who challenges idea," said Ryan Coogler, director of the blockbuster (大片) hit Black Panther, for which Lamar created music. "One big theme in our film is the idea of, 'What does it mean to be African?' Kendrick in his music is very exactly and directly challenging that question."
Good artists entertain us, great artists make us think, and exceptional artists help us empathize (感同身受).
There are a lot of good, great, even exceptional artists in rock, pop, country, and hip-hop. But only Lamar has a Pulitzer Prize.
【1】What is Lamar's album Damn about?
A．African-Americans，history and culture.
B．Hardships of the African-American artists.
C．The ways the US government deal with racial problems.
D．The lives of modem black people in South Los Angeles.
【2】How many times was Lamar nominated for an album of Grammy?
A．0ne.
B．Two.
C．Three.
D．Four.
【3】Why is Lamar's Pulitzer Prize win significant?
A．He is the first film-maker to win the prize.
B．It is considered a milestone for pop music.
C．He is the first black person to win the prize.
D．He has missed Grammy several times before.
【4】What can we learn from Ryan Coogler's words?
A．Lamar drew inspiration from his own experience.
B．Lamar has the courage to take on big challenges in life.
C．Black Panther is well known because of Lamar's music.
D．Lamar's music matches the theme of Black Panther well.
23、After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed.
During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy(肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams.
I spent over one hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me.
When we finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”
Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:
Dear Rick,
My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live anymore. But I still smile as much as I can.
I told you someday I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I will never get to do that. But I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.
Yours,
Matthew

24、 Can you imagine your doctor warning that taking a bath could be unhealthy? In the early 1800s , many doctors thought that tubs (浴缸) could carry diseases, so they advised against their use.【1】The White House did not even have a bathtub until 1851.
In the 19th century ,only one home out of six had a bathroom,【2】 On Saturday nights children all lined up for their turns to wash in a wooden tub in the kitchen. Mothers had to boil the water on the fire and carry it over to fill the tub.【3】
When the first bathtubs were introduced ,even their makers weren't sure whether the new fashion would last. They advertised their products as water containers that “could be used as bathing tubs”.
【4】By then most middle-class families had indoor taps (龙头). At first most tubs were made of wood, but as the popularity of the product increased, so did the creativity of tub makers. Before porcelain tubs there were rubber ones like the plastic swimming pools kids use today.
【5】Instead they tell their patients about the advantages of frequent bathing. Maybe one of the best reasons why doctors encourage frequent trips to the tub is that bathed patients smell better!
A.A child took only one bath a week.
B.The children would probably get hurt in the bathtubs.
C.Nowadays doctors no longer warn that bathtubs carry diseases.
D.It's no wonder that children could not jump into a tub as they do today.
E.The bathtub gained its popularity in America shortly after World War I.
F.The doctors still believe that it is unhealthy for people to bat he in bathtubs.
G.The advice actually wasn't based on personal experience，because few of the doctors owned tubs.
