21、Today, I felt upset, I decided to take a walk even though I didn’t know where I would go. The most extraordinary thing happened when I was out on this walk. I saw an old man sitting on a chair. He was a seller of second-hand shoes. He seemed so tired and nobody was buying his shoes.
I wanted to give him something but I had not brought anything with me. Then, a little girl came toward him. I heard the child say，’’Grandfather，may I polish your shoes?" That old man took pity on her, smiled and he gave her a shoe to polish. The girl said, MI polish the shoe because I need money to buy my brother a new school uniform.M The old man answered, "Oh, little girl. Just stop doing this. Come with me and I will buy you a uniform.”
Then they walked to a market (I followed behind) and he bought her a uniform. The girl was so happy. She said,MThank you so much for doing this." Then she left, leaving the old man smiling. He walked away from the market, but I stopped him.
I whispered in his ear, "You are a hero! Thank you for your kindness!” As I walked away, I glanced back and I could see him still smiling. I was blown away by the kindness I had just seen. Someone who had so little himself was able to show such incredible generosity! Amazing!
My own sadness had completely disappeared, chased away by the light of this kind act. I began realizing that I have a lot to be thankful for.

22、Infectious disease is all around us. Disease-causing agents, such as viruses, usually have specific targets. Some viruses affect only humans; other viruses live in or affect only animals. Problems start when animal viruses are able to infect people as well, a process known as zoonosis. When an animal virus passes to a human, the results can be fatal. Often our immune systems are not accustomed to these viruses and are unable to stop them before they harm us, and even kill us.
In the last three decades, more than 30 zoonotic diseases have emerged around the globe. HIV is an example. It evolved from a virus originally carried by African monkeys, and later chimps. Today conservative estimates suggest that HIV has infected more than 70 million people in the past three decades, though this number may be higher. SARS, a type of flu that jumped from chickens to humans is another type of zoonotic disease.
But how do these viruses pass from animals to humans? Contact is crucial. Human destruction of animal habitats, for example, is forcing wild animals to move closer to places people live - putting humans at risk for exposure to animal viruses. The closer humans are to animals, the greater the risk of being bitten, scratched or exposed to animal waste which can enable a virus to pass from an animal to a human. Raising animals (for example, on a farm) or keeping certain kinds of animal and wild animals (like monkeys) as pets increases the risk of exposure. Eating animals that are diseased can also result in the virus being transmitted.
The factor that is probably most responsible for the spread of some zoonotic diseases worldwide is international travel. In 1999, for example, a deadly disease - one that had never been seen before in the western hemisphere - appeared in the United States. There were several incidences that year of both birds and people becoming sick and dying in New York City, and doctors could not explain why. Subsequently, they discovered that the deaths had been caused by the same thing: the West Nile virus, found typically in birds and transmitted by mosquitoes that live in parts of northern Africa. Somehow this virus probably carried by an infected mosquito or bird on a plane or ship arrived in the US. Now, birds and mosquitoes native to North America are carriers of this virus as well.
Today researchers are working to create vaccines for many of these zoonotic diseases in the hope of controlling their impact on humans. Other specialists are trying to make communities more aware of disease prevention and treatment and to help people understand that we are all-humans, animals, and insects-in this together.
【1】Which of the following ways of transmitting disease is called zoonotic?
A．A flu from a mother to a child.
B．Viruses from a monkey to a boy.
C．A cough from one student to another.
D．Blood from one person to another.
【2】According to the passage, what is most probably to blame for zoonotic diseases which spread wide?
A．Exposure to animal waste and sneezes.
B．Raising pets at home and shaking hands.
C．Contact with animals and long distance travel.
D．Being scratched by animals and stung by mosquitoes.
【3】We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．a zoonotic disease is complicated but curable
B．animals prefer places close to where people live
C．vaccines are effective in dealing with any kind of disease
D．education can help address the potential infections disease
【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A．The travel that is fatal
B．The virus that threatens
C．The diseases that dominates
D．The vaccines that are being developed
23、Have you ever felt stressed? Well, you are not alone, as every person in the world has to face stress at one time or another. Since stress is a part of life, it is essential to learn how to deal with it. Here are some strategies for dealing with stress and pressure.
【1】 To get rid of this feeling, keep yourself organized. For example, you could keep a daily organizer and plan your activities. Get your priorities straight and focus on things that are really important. Do not get stuck in minor issues that only create additional work for you. Break tasks down into manageable bits and tackle them one by one. Proper planning also helps you avoid the stress of doing things at the eleventh hour.
【2】 Doing things that you like such as listening to music, taking a walk, or reading a book can take your mind off things that bother you. Even doing nothing at all can be beneficial. After a short break, you will feel refreshed and more able to tackle a problem or a piece of work.【3】 This would only cause you more stress when you have to rush to finish your work in the end.
Finally, do not set such high standards for yourself and others that it leads to dissatisfaction and pressure. If you aim for perfection all the time, you will end up frustrated and stressed out. Learn to slow down, let go and look at the positive side of things. If you ace too anxious about something, you will not be able to think clearly and make good decisions.【4】 Focus on what has already been done and what is good. Then, negative stressful feelings will disappear.
In conclusion, stress may be unavoidable but it need not make life miserable for you. There are many ways to reduce and deal with stress such as the three strategies shared here.【5】
A．Life gels better once the stress is controlled.
B．You can turn to others when you feel at a loss.
C．Most of the time, stress is a result of feeling defeated.
D．Besides that, taking time to relax can help you ease stress.

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。
Life Change is Possible
The weather isn't too cold that December morning, so Baltimore City Council woman Rochelle “Rikki” Spector put on a light jacket as she headed for her gold Buick.
Two teenage boys from southwest Baltimore were in her Inner Harbor parking garage, cutting school and looking for cars to steal. They fixed their eyes on the 80-year-old Spector.
The attack was quick, and it was violent.
As Spector got in her vehicle, the 13-year-old blocked her door from closing. The 15-year-old hit her in the face, hard.
In a city besieged by violence, it seemed to show that no one, not even an 80-year-old city official, was safe.
An alternative solution
Instead of seeking punishment, Spector quietly decided to become the boys' advocate.
She and a team of nonprofit workers, mentors, cooks and coaches have been working with the boys for months - during and after their time on house arrest - and say their grades, school attendance and attitude have shown marked improvements.
Though the boys are still works in progress, their supporters say the teens are now emerging as leaders in the neighborhood, trying to teach others to stay out of trouble.
Progress to be proud of
Around the one-year anniversary of the December 2016 attack, Spector joined the older teen in front of a large audience at her Park Heights synagogue, where leaders from across the city presented him with an award for his progress.
The boy who had once punched Spector in the face now shyly tried to hide behind her from the view of the crowd.
“I felt scared on the inside,” the teenager said. “It was a lot of people, and I thought they were going to be ashamed of my actions. But a lot of people started shaking my hand and said they were proud of me.”
A week later, Spector presented another award to the younger boy, who hugged her, called her “ma'ma” and said, “I messed up.”
