21、Gratitude (感激之情) does more than just improve your mood for the moment. It actually changes your mindset and plays a major role in success and overall happiness. 【1】 Enjoy the benefits of feeling thankful with these four gratitude practices every day.
Show your appreciation for others. When you think of gratitude exercises, you have probably already heard of suggestions like keeping a gratitude journal. Yet even more beneficial than counting your blessings is receiving thanks from others. To encourage acts of gratitude, lead by example. 【2】 You create an environment of open gratitude, and you may even receive the same appreciation in return.
【3】 Encourage gratitude. In an interview, research professor Dr. BrenéBrown explained her daily practices to encourage gratitude among her colleagues. She gathers posters and puts a name of a coworker on each board. Then everyone goes around and writes a nice thing about that person under their name. You can create your own group gratitude exercises like this to encourage positivity and appreciation among friends, family, or at work.
Feel inspired by gratitude stories. 【4】 Look for people in your life, or in the media, who have struggled and succeeded thanks to the support of others. Having empathy (同理心) is good for you.
Start your day with a morning gratitude practice. 【5】 So why not start it from a place of gratitude and grace? Each morning, before you get out of bed, take a moment to count your blessings. Try to think of three to five things you feel grateful for today. This may improve your mental health, as well as offer you a positive start to your day!

22、Packing light is important when travelling with kids, but it is hard to do so when your kids want to pack every single toy they can lay their eyes on. 【1】. Here is a guide on how to pack light for a family trip.
Pack lightweight clothes
Before you start packing, check the weather at your family holiday destination. 【2】, packing becomes much easier. Packing light for warm weather isn’t hard but the same can’t be said for cold destinations. The key to cold weather packing is layering. Instead of packing heavy clothing items，pack a few lightweight clothing articles which, when layered, offer all the warmth you need.
【3】
We suggest not carrying any toiletries while travelling with kids since you can buy these wherever you are going. But if you do insist on carrying your own toiletries, use travel containers which are lightweight and won’t break and spill all over your clothes inside the luggage.
Separate suitcases for the win
Big suitcases bother every vacation. While it’s convenient to put all your needs in big suitcases, they aren’t exactly convenient to carry around.【4】. Prepare fun suitcases for your kids that are easy to drag around, which gives them a sense of ownership and responsibility. 【5】.
A．However, it is not impossible
B．Take personal belongings with you
C．Avoid carrying toiletries if possible
D．If you get your family members involved in the plan
E．Once you know what kind of weather you’ll be dealing with

23、Engineers should embrace（接受） the arts，Sir John O'Reilly，a fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology，argued in a lecture．
About 59% of engineering companies in the IET's 2014 survey feared skill shortages could threaten（威胁） business．
"There is nothing as creative as engineering," Sir John told the reporter．He says science，technology，engineering and mathematics - often known as "Stem" subjects，are vital for a modern knowledge economy．But there is a massive shortfall in the number of recruits（招聘） - with a recent study by the Royal Academy of Engineering saying the UK needs to increase by as much as 50% the number of Stem graduates it produces．
Delivering this year's Mountbatten Lecture at the Royal Institution，Sir John argued that engineers should recognise the role of the arts in their work - among other benefits; this could attract more people into the profession．The lecture，Full Steam Ahead for Growth，advocated a wider adoption -- Steam，or science，technology，engineering，arts and maths．Engineers should embrace the arts as being key to creativity and an important component of innovation（创新），crucial to creating new products and boosting future competitiveness，he argued． "Engineering and technology is an increasingly diverse and creative field," said Sir John．
Some university engineering departments already cooperated with art schools to develop understanding，he told the reporter．In particular he mentioned Cranfield University's Centre for Creative Competitive Design and Imperial College's work with the Royal College of Art．The two sets of people could work well together and more emphasis on the creative side of engineering could improve the success of products，he said．
"Aesthetics(美学) is part of it," he told the reporter，adding that Apple's iPod was not the first digital media player，nor the only one that worked - but it came to dominate the market "because it was nice to have"．
Sir John said he was not suggesting universities started requiring A-level art from engineering applicants - the key subjects for admission would continue to be maths and the sciences．But an emphasis on creative skills would help "broaden the pool and attract more people in"．
【1】According to a recent study by the Royal Academy _______ ．
A. skill shortages could threaten business
B. engineering graduates are not as creative as expected
C. there are not enough arts graduates produced in the UK．
D. the UK needs more graduates in science，technology，engineering and mathematics

A. engineers should cooperate with arts majors
B. Accepting the arts could attract more people into engineering
C. engineers should realize arts play the most important part in their work
D. engineering and technology is as diverse and creative as before
【3】By giving the example of Apple's iPod，Sir John intends to _______ ．
A. stress the importance of arts
B. stress the importance of marketing
C. stress the importance of communication
D. stress the importance of science and technology
【4】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. More university students should study arts instead of engineering．
B. Engineering and technology is increasingly different and unrelated fields．
C. The IET's skills survey raised concerns about the number of recruits to engineering．
D. Students from some university engineering departments have already transferred to art schools
【5】What is the passage mainly about?
A. Lack of creativity makes it difficult for the engineering major to find a satisfactory job．
B. The key subjects for engineering majors remain to be maths and the sciences rather than arts．
C. University engineering departments should cooperate with art schools to improve the success of products．
D. Engineering needs to emphasize its creative side to encourage more young people to choose it as a career．
24、Today's children are the "result" of the modern society. Our parents have jobs that keep them busy almost all day long. They only have a free day in a week. This doesn't allow them to keep an eye on their children.
On the other hand, the modern society gives more freedom to the children than they could "handle". As a child, you don't know how to grow up by yourself until you reach a certain age. That is why you need school and parents to be by your side all the time. If you don't have either of them you may make a lot of mistakes. The social system of the modem society is very lenient especially with the children.
Most of the children today are rebels(叛逆者). They are rude. They are given too much freedom by their families. This is their parents' mistake. They ought to know that the freedom they give to their children is misunderstood.
For example it is a bad thing for a 17-year-old child to go out in the evening on weekends. Parents are also guilty of the way their children show up in the street or at school. The same guilt belongs to the teaching system as well. Pupils shouldn't be allowed to dress like they were on a fashion presentation at school.
Another important fact we can think of regarding the freedom of children is their free will of spending money. Parents shouldn't allow their children to spend money on whatever they want.
I think children are given too much freedom not only by their parents, but also by the society. The latter is more to be blamed！
【1】The writer implies that parents' busy lifestyle .
A. makes their children become independent
B. may lead to a tense parent-child relationship
C. is harmful to their children's health
D. is likely to create a troubled generation
【2】What does the underlined word "lenient" ( in Paragraph 2 ) mean ?
A. Not responsible. B. Not strict.
C. Unkind. D. Unfair.
【3】 It seems that the writer agrees that students .
A. should stay at home on weekends
B. can wear trendy clothes at school
C. had better wear school uniform at school
D. can be allowed to go out in the evenings
【4】According to the writer, which of the following takes the primary responsibility for children's problems?
A. The social environment. B. The educational system.
C. Each family. D. The school.

Back in the house, we called the local rescue workers. But we all immediately said to each other, “Lenny didn’t howl. The whistle could not have blown!”

When the rescue team arrived, my brother told them, “The engineer couldn’t have blown the ______ because our dog did not howl. And he always does!”
The story of Lenny’s howling ______ rapidly around our small town as everyone ______ in the sorrow of the wife and family. Left without the ______, the family of nine was in a difficult situation. One of the county’s best-known lawyers ______ to pursue a claim against the, by now, infamous Soo Line Cooperation for the sake of the widow and children. The lawyer hired an investigator and recording technician, who, for days, at all hours, visited our home listening for oncoming trains and ______ recording Lenny’s howl. Lenny never ______ to respond with his howl to the sharp sound of an approaching train.
The taped evidence,______ in court, along with the testimony (证词) of my family members, convinced the judge and jury. The settlement ______ to the family secured their home and future. County court records give evidence of the success of a “dog’s day in court!”
