21、I cannot stop thinking about the video of a 10-year-old girl facing her fears at the top of a ski jump. Her fear, her courage, her joy, her pride — the whole thing has really touched me. Of course, the video makes me reflect on the times when I experienced the similar feeling. I remember how in those moments every cell in my body vibrated (颤动) with life. But it also reminded me of the times I didn’t choose the more risky options.
I’ve always been a little bit of a chicken when it comes to my physical safety but I definitely pushed myself more when I was younger. Now that I’m a mom, I feel like I have to stay safe. I worry about what my kids would do without me and that leads me to make safe choices.
But as I watch this fourth grade overcome her fears, I think about how much this experience will mean to her in the future; she’ll always have this as a reference point when she comes up against something scary or difficult. She’ll be able to look back on this and say, “Well, I did that and the worst part was the bad feeling at the beginning.”
I know I want that view for my 8-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son. I know I want them to take risks. Maybe not every day, maybe not ski-jumping, definitely not extreme sports, but I deeply hope that they will push themselves to their limits, facing down fear with whatever tools they can use and enjoying the great rush that comes from attempting scary things and getting to the other side of them.
So if I want that for my kids, I have to honestly look at my own relationship with risk and say that yes... I play it safe. And I have to ask myself another question: Am I doing enough? Or do I need to make some changes in my life so that my daughter and son can be inspired to make their own brave decisions?
【1】How did the author react when watching that video?
A．She felt ashamed of herself.
B．She realized that sport was dangerous.
C．She thought of her own past experiences.
D．She regretted taking part in some risky activities.
【2】After becoming a mother, the author chooses to ______.
A．be careful of her safety
B．push herself to her limits
C．be overprotective of her kids
D．pick up the risky activities again
【3】The fourth grader’s overcoming her fears makes the author realize ______.
A．having safe choices is important
B．taking a risk isn’t as scary as it seems
C．overcoming fears requires a long time
D．making preparations for future is necessary
【4】The author most probably thinks that she should ______.
A．let her kids play with the girl in the video
B．certainly allow her kids to try ski-jumping
C．use some tools to practice her kids’ courage
D．participate in more risk activities to set an example
【5】What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Pushing Ourselves to Our Limits
B．Paying Attention to Kids’ Activities
C．Learning a Kind of Risky Activities
D．Encouraging Kids to Choose What They Like
22、In early 2018, I was training for the London Marathon—the first and only marathon I would ever run in my life. I had treated myself to an expensive fitness watch that tracked my time, pace and splits.
At the end of my final training run—an exhausting 21 miles (34km) —I threw myself down on the floor the moment I got home, only to see my watch had failed me. Twenty-one miles briefly flashed on the screen before it went blank and disappeared for ever. I screamed in pain. That tragic image of me crying on my living room floor pretty much sums up my relationship with exercise tracking technology.
It can be a total joy to watch your data change on running apps as you get stronger and faster. I once got a kick out of it, but at some point it became a stick I used to punish myself. I would watch my pace, compare it with other people’s or criticize myself for not doing it 30 seconds faster. I never really recognized exercise tracking as a problem. It seemed to me that tracking was the route to self-improvement, and the point was to improve, wasn’t it? The point was to be better.
In the past year, the concept of “being better” has taken on a different meaning. My mental health dropped, and things that were once easy such as brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stopped meaning getting faster or stronger. It meant taking care of myself and feeling some joy in a day. Once I started getting better, I reflected on what in my life made me happy and what did not. So, I stopped tracking my runs and simply deleted years’ worth of data that was once very important to me and now meant nothing.
What has become very clear to me since I quit tracking my runs is that I genuinely love doing them. I run around my local park with a silly little smile on my face. I love it so much. But I do not love running quickly. I do not like races. I do not want to be pushed to be faster. Things I notice about my runs now include: how my legs feel and how my mind feels afterwards-clear and focused. I notice dogs, the smell of the wild plants along the canal and the sunshine (OK, wind and rain) on my face.
I am better. Or sometimes I am worse. But either way I’m slowly plodding along, and that’s good enough.
【1】The author cried after the final training run because she ________.
A．had to stop working out
B．became physically worn out
C．lost the data on the watch
D．felt a sharp pain in the legs
【2】The author used to view exercise tracking as ________.
A．a fun hobby for enjoyment
B．a strong need for recognition
C．a method of escaping punishment
D．a way of being a better runner
【3】What does “being better” mean to the author now?
A．Getting pleasure out of winning races.
B．Being more focused on her life goal.
C．Freeing herself from demanding tasks.
D．Improving her overall well-being.
【4】What can we conclude from this passage?
A．Adjustment brings happiness.
B．Passion is the key to success.
C．Sports contribute to happiness.
D．Success equals self-improvement.
23、Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think．They may let you surf the Internet，listen to music and snap photos wherever you are．．．but they also turn you into a workaholic，it seems．A study suggests that，by giving you access to emails at all times．the all-singing．all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day．
Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles．The study by technology retailer Pixmania，reveals the average UK working day is between nine and ten hours，but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails，or making work calls．Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails．Some workers confess they are on call almost 24 hours a day，with nine out of ten saying they take work emails and calls outside their normal working hours．Nearly two-thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up，while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night．
Ghadi Hobeika，marketing director of Pixmania，said：“The ability to access literally millions of apps，keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smartphones valuable for many people．However，there are drawbacks．Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day，seven days a week，and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from work．The more constantly in contact we become。The more is expected of us in a work capacity．”
【1】The text is probably taken from___________．
A．a scientific report
B．a financial report
C．a newspaper
D．a literary journal
【2】The underlined word “drawbacks” in the last paragraph probably means_________．
A．advantages B．faults C．mistakes D．features

C．smartphones might turn a person into a workaholic
D．people literally cannot get away from work without smartphones
【4】What is the main idea of this passage？
A．Smartphones are lengthening working hours
B．Smartphones are becoming valuable for many people
C．Britons work art additional 460 hours a year on average
D．Smartphones are more beneficial to our life than we think
