21、My teacher, Mr．August J．Bachmann, was the most influential teacher I ever had.

I had gotten into trouble in his class：Another student had pushed me for fun，and I became angry and began to hit him．Mr．Bachmann stopped the fight，but instead of sending me to the office，he sat me down and asked a simple question："Penna，why are you wasting your life？Why aren't you going to college？"

I didn't know anything about colleges or scholarships．No one had ever considered that a fatherless boy from the poorest neighborhood had a future．That day，instead of rushing off for lunch，he stayed and explained possible education options to me．At the end of our talk，he sent me to see a secretary who had a child at a state college．This was in 1962 at Emerson High School in Union City，New Jersey.

Well，53 years have passed, and what have I done with the knowledge he gave me？I gained a PhD from Fordham University when I was only 29．I taught English and social studies and then moved up the chain of command from teacher to principal.

I've sat on the board for Magnet Schools of America and represented that organization at the United Nations．I've won a number of great educational awards．But where would I be if a truly caring teacher had not taken the time out of his lunch period to speak to me? It was without question only his confidence in me that helped me forward．

I have repaid his kindness hundreds of times by encouraging misguided youngsters to aim higher. If I have saved any children, it is because of him. If I have been a successful educator, it is because I had a great role model in Mr. Bachmann.

【1】The writer ________ before Mr．Bachmann talked to him．

A. was an active boy

B. liked making troubles in class

C. was an aimless boy

D. would get punished by his teachers

【3】How did Mr．Bachmann influence the writer?

A. He set the writer on the right path.

B. He tried to set a good example to the writer.

C. He was strict with the writer.

D. He helped the writer with his study.

【4】What does the writer think of his achievement？

B. He feels his effort gets paid off at last.

C. He owes his achievement to Mr. Bachmann.

D. He thinks it an honor to be a successful educator.

22、When you go to the doctor, you like to come away with a prescription．It makes you feel better to know you will get some medicine. But the doctor knows that medicine is not always needed. Sometimes all a sick person needs is some reassurance that all will be well. In such cases the doctor may prescribe a placebo.

A placebo is a sugar pill, a harmless shot, or ail empty capsule. Even though they have no medicine in them, these things seem to make people well. The patient thinks it is medicine and begins to get better. How does this happen?

The study of the placebo opens up new knowledge about the way the human body can heal itself. It is as if there was a doctor in each of us. The doctor will heal the body for us if we let it. But it is not yet known just how the placebo works to heal the body. Some people say it works because the human mind fools itself. These people say that if the mind is fooled into thinking it got medicine, then it will act as if it did, and the body will feel better.

Placebos do not always work. The success of this treatment seems to rest a lot with the relationship between the patient and the doctor. If the patient has a lot of trust in the doctor and if the doctor really wants to help the patient, then the placebo is more likely to work. So in a way, the doctor is the most powerful placebo of all.

A placebo can also have bad effects. If patients expect a bad reaction to medicine, then they will also show a bad reaction to the placebo. This would seem to show that a lot of how you react to medicine is in your mind rather than in your body. Some doctors still think that if the placebo can have bad effects it should never be used. They think there is still not enough known about it.

The strange power of the placebo does seem to suggest that the human mind is stronger than we think it is. There are people who say you can heal your body by using your mind. And the interesting thing is that even people who swear this is not possible have been healed by a placebo．

【1】What do we know about placebo according to the passage?

A. It contains some sort of medicine.

B. It won’t function if you are negative about medicine.

C. People who don’t believe placebo can’t be healed by it.

D. Patients and doctors know clearly how it helps to heal the body.

【2】Why is the doctor sometimes the most powerful placebo?

A. The patient needs help badly．

B. The patient believes in the doctor．

C. The doctor knows better about your body．

D. The doctor has carefully studied medicine．

【3】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A. The placebo.   B. The bad effect.

C. The body.   D. The medicine.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A. Placebo：Work on Your Mind

B. Placebo：The Most Powerful Medicine

C. Placebo：The Best Doctor

D. Placebo：Heal Your Body

23、Bad days at work can slow you down and make you feel overwhelmed. 【1】This shall pass. Here’s a guide to cheer you up when your day at the office just didn’t go as planned.

Go for a walk around your neighborhood. Fresh air can do wonders.You’ve worked so hard! You deserve a break. This can also be helpful during a bad day before the workday is even done. 【2】

Talk to your family or friends. 【3】And if you’re not ready to talk about how you’re feeling just yet and just want their company, that’s totally okay, too.

Make a to-do list for tomorrow. What’s bothering you today might just be what will happen tomorrow. 【4】 For instance, if you have a presentation to work on, start your list by writing an outline, then making any slides or visual aids, and finally, writing any notes you may need. If you can make a plan, set goals, and organize your day ahead of time, the work may not feel terrifying.

【5】 This is often an essential part of self-care that’s overlooked.But there’s more to life than work. Try to remind yourself of activities that make you feel at peace, like taking photos, doing your skincare routine, or listening to music. Then spend at least an hour after work doing only that.

A．Do the things that you are good at.

B．Spend time doing something you enjoy.

C．Having a good friend is important for you.

D．Stepping outside for just 15 minutes can help you refresh yourself.

E．Sometimes it feels good to talk to someone who just wants to listen.

F．But it doesn’t mean every day that comes after will be exactly the same.

G．Organize your tasks into small parts, instead of complex, long-term projects.
