21、You’re suffering from a bad case of burnout, especially after you do the same work too many years. But try as you might, you can’t make you stay excited at your job. 【1】
Keep an open mind.
It’s essential to be open to new opportunities when they come your way. Maybe it will be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to change yourself. As it turns out, you will succeed.
【2】 .
My advice to anyone working to achieve long-term success, is to regularly step back, assess your progress and consider new experience that can help you grow professionally. 【3】. So think about where your greatest professional development opportunities lie, and don’t be afraid to speak up if you aren’t actively addressing them. I’ve found that many new opportunities exist beneath the surface — all you have to do is — raise your hand and ask.
Step outside of your comfort zone.
Although the idea of reinvention may sound daunting (令人胆怯的), this can mean anything from taking on a new project, joining a new team or accepting a “stretch” assignment. 【4】, and keep that professional spark well lit. And don’t wait. The pace of change is rapid, and you can’t sit on the sidelines.
Experience the payoff.
Wearing different hats or changing your position can keep you invigorated (精神焕发) about your job and better positioned to accept challenges or opportunities to come. 【5】.
A.Set a realistic goal
B.Seek opportunities for reinvention
C.That can make it easier to see where you should go
D.I look on it as a process of continuous reinvention
E.Here are the tips that may help you to keep your energy up
F.This can open new doors that will greatly benefit you as your career progresses
G.Every change you make, big or small, can help drive your advancement
22、Green tourism, a form of ecotourism, is low-impact(环保的)tourism with an eye toward protecting the environment and culture of an area. 【1】, but green tourism can cover a wide range of standard and conditions, from fully compliant(遵守)to less stressful on the environment than standard tourism. There are many opportunities for green travel available worldwide.
【2】, which makes green tourism not only preferable but a necessity in some areas. It might seem wiser of some people to protect natural habitats(栖息地)and fragile environments by banning visitors completely to these areas, but many areas depend on the income from tourism to support the local economy. Green, sustainable(可持续的)tourism is considered offering the best of both worlds.
Green tourism doesn't necessarily mean a vacation spent roughing it with little or no comforts. On the contrary, many people believe that it can be a wonderful adventure. Ecotourism resorts(度假胜地)and ecologies exist in almost every style and taste. 【3】. There are many vacationing choices.
There are also trips available in which vacationers take an active part in improving the local area by working to preserve the natural habitat, helping to build a school or performing other services that benefit the area. These vacations can be a lot of work. 【4】.
As green tourism becomes more popular, there are likely to be more vacationing choices available. More resort areas will likely take steps to have less of an impact on the surrounding environment. 【5】. Local economies might be able to take full advantage of the booming tourist trade without doing harm to the local environment, allowing tourists to enjoy the beauty that these areas have to offer for many years to come.
A.Green tourism is very popular
B.Therefore, we should make the best of them
C.However, many people find them very rewarding
D.Sustainable tourism could easily become the standard
E.From recycling and gray water system to tents on tree houses
F.The number of tourists traveling the world has been increasing
G.The United Nations has set up certain standard for ecotourism
23、It was a hot, humid day, and my brother Walt and I had decided that the only way to survive it would be to go swimming in a deep swimming hole across Mr. Blickez’s pasture(牧场) and through some woods.
The only problem with our plan was that this pasture was guarded by a huge, mean Hereford bull. Mr. Blickez had told us that Elsie was the meanest bull in the township, maybe even the county, and we believed him. But the hotter it got, the more we thought there was something doubtful about his claim. For one thing, we remembered Mr. Blickez liked telling tall tales; for another, Elsie seemed like an odd name for a bull.
Finally, I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the pasture, but then another problem surfaced. Mom said she would talk to Mr. Blickez if we would take our cousin Joanie along with us. Joanie was almost two years older than me and a head taller. If her teasing ever got around my grade school, it would be all over for me. In fact, I still had a headache from a quarrel with her that morning. “I’m not going swimming with that dumb girl cousin.” I told my mom.
“Either Joanie goes with, or you stay home alone,” Mom said in her serious tone. I gave in and we set out. On our way across the pasture, Walt yelled suddenly. Elsie had approached him quietly and was licking(舔) his back. Joanie and I dove under the wire fence, but while I was on the ground I looked up and saw that Elsie wasn’t a big mean bull after all. She was going to keep licking my brother’s back as long as he stood still.
We had many good days growing up and visiting our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called “big mean bull”. And as it turned out, for a girl cousin, Joanie hasn’t been too bad. She’s been one of my best friends over the years.
【1】What’s the second problem the author has to face?
A. His mother insisted on his cousin going with him.
B. His cousin made jokes on him in his grade school.
C. He quarreled with his cousin and had a headache.
D. His mother failed to ask permission for him.
【2】What does the author think of Elsie in the end?
A. Aggressive. B. Unkind.
C. Bad-tempered. D. Friendly.
【3】What’s the passage mainly about?
A. The bull guarding Mr. Blickez’s farm.
B. The story of visiting the swimming hole.
C. How friendly the so-called mean bull was.
D. How the author changed his attitude to Joanie.
