21、Why You Should Stop Complaining
When living out our daily lives, it’s often easy to blame the world for our problems. 【1】 But the biggest difference is simply our reactions to them. Here are three reasons why you should change your reaction to a situation and stop complaining.
The world owes you nothing.
The world really does have nothing to do with you or anyone else. The planet will continue to exist without you on it. 【2】 However, it really isn’t the case once we’re an adult. The world doesn’t provide us with the same blanket of comfort as our carers once did, which only means one thing: It’s up to us to provide that blanket for ourselves and no one else.
【3】
If you look back at your own life, you’ll begin to realize that everything you have ever done was all a result of the decisions you’ve made sure there may have been people around you who have convinced you to do something. But it all ultimately depends on your decisions. 【4】 Your life is just like a blank canvas, and you are the painter. Start to think about what your hopes and dreams might be and remind yourself daily that it’s all up to you to make things happen.
You can’t be a leader if you behave like a victim.
It’s really easy to put blame on things that are external to you. 【5】 So what can you change? Being a leader in your life takes courage and requires the willingness to face your fears, experience failure, and take complete personal responsibility of everything that happens to you.
A．What are you worrying about?
B．So who’s really to blame?
C．You are in charge of your own life.
D．You are helped by people around you.
E．We were nurtured and looked after as kids.
F．It’s true that there are things in the world we can’t control.
G．As it avoids personal responsibility and allows you to refuse the possibility that you may have things that can be changed.
22、The Cambodian Government’s Fisheries Administration and WWF announced that the Irrawaddy dolphin population in the Mekong River numbers just 89. The number is a slight decline from the estimate of 92 in 2018, but shows that the population has stabilized. In recent years after decades of sharp decline.
Critically, the survey’s findings also indicate a positive survival rate of calves through to adulthood, with a “recruitment rate” of 4.22%, signalling an improving trend for the dolphin population. “Although the survey confirmed that the number of river dolphins in Cambodia has stabilized, the population size is still small, so stronger conservation action is urgently needed,” said Mr. Seng Teak, WWF Country Director.
The Irrawaddy dolphins are fully protected under Cambodia’s Fisheries Law. The dolphins, however, continue to face great danger. Gill nets, development of upstream dams, overfishing, and illegal fishing practices such as electrofishing are among major known threats to the survival of the species.
Effective conservation action in recent years has halted the decline in the population, but more is required to ensure that the population expands. The Fisheries Administration and WWF are committed to continuing to work gather with the local communities and other partners to make collective efforts to carry out the recommendations of the 2020 population report.
These recommendations include enforcement of the fisheries law and the ban on illegal gill net use in the protected dolphin habitat, continued robust monitoring of the species population, and management of the Ramsar site in Stung Treng province to improve natural fish stocks for food and prey enhancement for both the local communities and the dolphins.
【1】Which of the following best describes the present population of dolphins in Cambodian?
A．Uncertain
B．Steady
C．Declining
D．Increasing
【2】What is not included among the threats that the Irrawaddy dolphins face according to the text?
A．Normal fishing.
B．Gill net fishing.
C．Illegal fishing.
D．Too much fishing.
【3】What can be inferred about recommendations of the 2020 population report?
A．The recommendations haven’t been put to use.
B．It is banned to fish in conservative habitats.
C．The species of dolphins will be managed.
D．Dolphins will have more fish to eat.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A．The food the dolphins eat.
B．The threats the dolphins meet.
C．The protection of dolphins in the Mekong.
D．The population of dolphins in the Mekong River.
23、 Chinese consumers’ crazy appetite for luxury goods and services appears unstoppable，with just 2 percent of the Chinese population responsible for onethird of the world’s luxury items.
As China’s economic miracle develops，the market opportunities for all sorts of luxury goods and services are increasing.Luxury consumption(奢侈品消费) in China now extends ways beyond wellknown car，clothing and jewelry brands.For example，the luxury jet market in China is the fastestgrowing in the world，even outstripping that of the United States，with a market share of 25 percent.This trend appears to continue，with 20 to 30 percent growth expected in China，compared with only 2 to 3 percent in the US.But more importantly，China’s luxury jet market growth represents a major development in the private consumption of luxury items.
China’s highquality red wine market also provides evidence of the growth in private consumption of luxury goods.In 2013，China became the largest market for red wine in the world，even overtaking France，with 1.86 billion bottles consumed in China last year.Over the past five years，China’s red wine consumption has grown 136 percent.
According to my ongoing consumer research in this area while working at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing，public consumption of such expensive global luxury brands such as Prada and Armani is easily explained by the desire to “gain face” and publicly display social climbing through material possessions.On the other hand，it is “selfreward” that lies behind consumer motivation in this area.Chinese consumers who have experienced rapid financial and economic gains appear to be particularly prone to the need to reward themselves for their success.But this has little to do with “gaining face” and impressing others and much more to do with the need for personal contentment.
Finally，the growth in private luxury consumption in China is set to continue in part due to the maturity of the Chinese consumer and advancement of Chinese consumer culture generally.
【1】What do you think the author would most probably be?
A.A news reporter. B.An accountant.
C.A professor. D.A conductor.
【2】The underlined word “outstripping” in Paragraph 2 probably can be replaced by “ ”.
A.falling far behind of
B.going out of
C.going far ahead of
D.keeping pace with
【3】What can be the best title for the passage?
A.Future Private Luxury Consumption in China
B.Chinese Appetite for Luxury Goods and Services
C.The Potential Luxury Jet Market in China
D.The Maturity of the Chinese Consumers
24、Cultural differences do exist, and we can really use them to tighten our relationship as human beings. Because there is strength in diversity. So, we are going to expose some interesting cultural differences around the world in this article. Read some interesting cultures around the world to help you travel out of your homeland!
In Greece spitting (吐痰) at weddings is believed to drive away devil (恶魔). Funny as it sounds, this cultural tradition is an important practice. To make it even more shocking, this spitting is focused on the bride. It is seen as good luck to bless the couple. However, Things have been changed in some parts of Greece these days. Wedding guests just face the bride and make sounds and impressions that show they are spitting on her—without actually spitting.
Everybody knows the Thai people are so friendly, but their culture demands that you never point your feet at anyone of any statue, especially that of the Buddha. In addition, they also consider the head to be more important than other parts of the body. This is why it is disrespectful to touch another person’s head in Thailand. Statues are not left out. If you see the Buddha statue, avoid touching its head as well.
Russians are very hospitable (好客的) people. In their culture food is serious business. Lunch is the most important and heaviest meal.
