21、Nick Vujicic is a great speaker, born in Melbourne, Australia on the 4th of December, 1982. He has no arms and legs. There is no medical explanation for it. In school, he was the first disabled child to be integrated into the Australian school system. He was laughed at, avoided and not included on purpose from games. At age 6, Nick tried some prosthetics (假肢) but they were more of restriction than aid because they limited his movement. Apparently, he had learnt how to do some things without them. Unfortunately, he severely battled with depression at age 8. He felt he would always be a burden for the rest of his life. These thoughts made his prospects in life as a fantasy. He just had one desire arms and legs, that's all.
At age 10, though his home was a refuge from the external storms, he couldn't manage to deal with the rejections he faced outside. Then he tried to drown himself but the love he had for his parents discouraged him from doing so. Nick had his Bachelor's degree in commerce at Griffith University. One day, his mum noticed his situation affected his life and decided to show him a newspaper article that featured a man that had a severe disability, much more than Nick's.
From that moment on. Nick Vujicic became grateful for life. He also said he found peace after he got his relationship with himself. Although he couldn't make some things happen easily, he believed it was not what you had but what you did with it. Therefore, he frequently tells himself he is not afraid to fail or try again. Today, He writes up to 43 words per minute, can throw tennis balls, play the drums, get a glass of water and also answer a phone call.

22、 From the age of eight, I was allowed to walk from my house to the local library. I started with Little House in the Big Woods. I was fascinated by the story and the peaceful atmosphere there.
But the local library’s collection paled in comparison to what was available to us at high school. There, I read novels written by the authors we were studying in class: Charles Dickens and Joseph Conrad, Mark Twain and Emily Brontë.
When I studied English literature at university, I dreamed of building my own library. And later, when I taught English at a high school, I continued to collect books. Toward the end of my teaching career, I became a teacher-librarian. This position reignited (重新点燃) my love and appreciation for how wonderful it is to be surrounded by books. I searched for books that would interest my teenage audience and hopefully spark a love of reading in them.
I quickly realized that the library wasn’t just a place to do research; students came for other reasons, as well. I noticed that some students lined up first thing in the morning, returned at break time and spent the whole lunch hour eating in a carrel (小书房). These were the loners who felt safer in the library than in the cafeteria where they could be bullied.
I noticed that students searched for books on specific topics instead of using computers: drugs, mental-health issues, etc. I realized that computer screens were too visible, so I bought more books on those topics.
I bought sofas and easy chairs. The conference room doubled as an art gallery and a meeting place for students to talk about ideas, play chess, and make posters for their clubs. The library became an inclusive public space, safe for everyone.
Whether libraries are located in schools or in communities, I believe libraries are vibrant (生机勃勃的) places that help us to adjust to the world, and their doors must be kept open to everyone—for free.
【1】The text is organized mainly _________.
A.by space.
B.by example.
C.by comparison.
D.by time.
【2】Which of the following view would the author most likely agree with?
A.School libraries are usually much better than local libraries.
B.Libraries are the best places where students can do research.
C.The attraction of libraries partly lies in their cosy atmosphere.
D.Students can learn more from books than from computers.
【3】What might be the best title for the text?
A.Safe in the Library.
B.My Dream Library.
C.Passion for Reading.
D.From a Lover to a Librarian.

24、American gymnast Simone Biles flies through the air as though she was made for it. She has won more World Championship gold medals than any other female gymnast in history. She is also the first woman gymnast to win three consecutive World all-around titles.
Biles trains 35 hours a week. During training she often comes up with new moves, some of which she uses in competitions. A complicated flip she introduced in the 2013 World Championships is one of four skills that are named after her.
For audiences, seeing Biles effortlessly perform makes it easy to forget how difficult gymnastics is. Athletes are under an intense amount of pressure, and a small mistake can result in serious injury. At the Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo, Biles experienced something gymnasts call “the twisties”, which is when a gymnast loses track of where their body is in the air. Instead of putting herself and her team at risk, Biles withdrew from the competition.
Biles rose to athletic glory from humble beginnings. She spent some time in foster care before she and her younger sister, Adria, were adopted as very young children by their grandfather Ron and his wife Nellie. Biles was introduced to gymnastics at the age of 6 on a school field trip to a gym. She saw some gymnasts practicing, began mimicking their moves and asserted herself by insisting that her parents send her for gymnastics lessons. A coach at the gym also recognized her talent and sent a letter home asking her parents to send her for lessons.
Throughout her career, Biles has kept her passion for the sport, which is evident in the huge smile she often wears while competing. But she also wants people to know the importance of putting mental health first and not ignoring how stress can be harmful to it.
In Biles’ 2016 memoir, titled Courage to Soar, the book tells in her words “how my faith and my family made my wildest dreams come true. And how embracing a dream can give you courage to soar.” Biles’ courage, especially her willingness to assert herself in the face of intense public pressure, continues to be an inspiration for everyone.
