21、Exhausted，covered in mud and desperately hungry，a team of Swedish athletes sat down for a meal as they prepared to take on a dangerous 20-mile trek through the Ecuadorian rainforest．
As they opened their canned meat，a tired Mikael Lindnord noticed a miserable stray dog staring at him out of the corner of his eye．
Feeling sorry for him，he fed the dog a meatball and thought nothing of it，but as the team stood up to continue their race the animal started to follow them—and he didn’t stop．
As the group of four navigated the final two stages of the 430-mile Adventure Racing World Championship，the dog befriended them and was eventually given the name Arthur．
Every tiring task the team face，Arthur would do the same．He swam alongside them while they kayaked down rivers，dragged himself up hills during hikes and pulled through knee—deep mud during treks．
Even when the team tried to get rid of their new member out of concerns for his safety—he refused to leave．This meant when he was tired they stopped for a break and when he got stuck in the mud they pulled him out．
After six days the team finished the race，and the dog had suffered．They therefore decided to take him to a vet(兽医)while still in South America to have him checked out．

22、Last week, social media posts about a cooking course for school kids, as part of a life skill program to be delivered nationwide this September, went viral (迅速传播) on the Internet. It quickly became the top trending topic on China’s Twitter-like Weibo, sparking heated discussions among netizens.
Based on a new national curriculum standard for compulsory education launched by China’s Ministry of Education (MOE), it outlines different cooking and nutrition courses for students in different grades.
It is recommended that first and second graders learn how to peel fruits and brew tea and acquire a basic knowledge of nutrition as well as the ability to take part in basic cooking at home. Students in grades five and six are expected to acquire basic cooking skills such as frying and stewing, and be able to prepare a nutritious meal for their own families.
Apart from essential skills such as cooking and housekeeping, the program is also designed to enrich their knowledge in production work as well as services.
Many netizens hailed the life skill program and expressed their happiness toward the changing pattern of education.
“This should have been done earlier. Children nowadays lack adequate physical activities and can barely distinguish wheat from rice crops,” commented a user on Douyin. So far the comment has gained 24,000 likes and received nearly 500 replies.
Some netizens, however, expressed their concern that as a non-core curriculum, the program cannot be fully carried out in schools, while others are worried that the program will merely put an extra burden on parents.
“Through the learning and experience, students will develop respect for labor, the ability to make innovations and apply knowledge and skills in real life, and a sense of social responsibilities. Schools should take the lead in teaching life skills, while families should play a supporting role.” said Gu Jianjun, a MOE official.

D．Concerned.

23、New parents often spend a long time debating what to call their newborn. Should they name them after a relative, a famous person or just pick a name at random? 【1】 But it's our children who need to live with our choice. So, how important is the name you choose?
Names usually stay with us for a lifetime, unless we decide to change them. 【2】 Quite often we hear stories of celebrating giving their children unusual names, while other people give their children names which have special meanings, for example, the name Sarah comes from a Hebrew word meaning ‘princess'. Sadly, though, our parents don't always get it right.
【3】 A study led by psychologist Jean Twenge found that a person who hates the moniker given to them is more likely to have greater psychological adjustment issues – possibly due to low self-esteem (自尊). This is because our title becomes a symbol of our self, and if we hate our name, our confidence may be affected.
And what if your name is no longer popular? While names like Ethel and Gladys were once in fashion, they now sound a bit out of date, which can be embarrassing. 【4】 Studies have shown that people with old-fashioned names are more likely to be rejected on dating apps.
However, if you choose an unusual name, it's not all bad news. According to a study conducted by Professor David Zhu, people with uncommon names can develop a sense of uniqueness and can often become more creative and open-minded.
So, when choosing your offspring's name, there are a fair few things to consider 【5】.
A．They become part of our identity.
B．So, what if you don't like your given name?
C．For many of us it can be a difficult and tiring task.
D．Have you experienced something unpleasant due to your names?
E．And when it comes to unpopular names, they may even affect our love lives.
F．However, many children say they dislike the name their parents have chosen for them.
G．But going for something too common or too old-fashioned may not be a great choice

25、Like many men at some point, I dream about opening a bar. I plan to call it Work Out. It will cater to married women in need of a little fun. On Friday nights, they will be able to come here and enjoy themselves.
See, I have a gift for business. I am, as my wife Zsa Zsa likes to note, “A man with a million ideas, none of them very good.” Speaking of Zsa Zsa, she is fed up with this plain little life I’ve made for us——too many kids, too many chores, mind – numbing debt. The other day, she said she thought we needed a new family car. “Sure. How about an 87 Lincoln?” I said, and saw my dear Zsa Zsa age about 20 years, and become her mother right before my eyes.
Yes, money is our madness. Last year, we thought we had found a little cushion when I published a book about the life here in suburban America. It sold 12 copies——six of them to my mother. Four other copies went to various aunts and uncles, who used them for martini coasters (杯垫), then sold them at yard sales. The two remaining copies went to perfect strangers. (I think I owe you dinner, whoever you are. Call me, OK? We’ll arrange something.)
When the book didn’t take off, I wrote a TV show. Then I penned a short novel based on the earlier TV idea that didn’t sell. Currently, I am at work on a set of encyclopedias(百科全书). In a month, I plan to sell them door-to-door.
Such is the life of a writer, sending off the most personal thoughts possible to his hard drive. I am a writer, but also the breadwinner in my family. I’m at the keyboard at 6 almost every morning, hoping to tap out one idea——just one——that will take us up the hill, to the mountain, to the top.
【1】According to the passage, the author is leading a/an______ life.
A. enjoyable B. wealthy
C. hard D. comfortable
【2】By saying “Sure. How about an 87 Lincoln?”, the author_______ .
A. promised it to his wife
B. was showing off their fortune
C. thought his wife would like it
D. was just joking
【3】What was the result of the book the author mentioned in the 3rd paragraph?
A. It didn’t sell well at all
B. He sold it door – to – door.
C. He made a lot of money from it.
D. It was really a cushion for his family.
【4】What does the underlined word “cushion” mean ?

B. He isn’t serious enough about life.
C. He is a hard – working writer.
D. His wife is satisfied with their plain life.
