21、One of my least favorite chores is cleaning my bedroom, but I have to do it. If my bedroom is untidy, I find it hard to relax and impossible to do any work! My mom always says “ a tidy home means a tidy mind”, and I think this is true. If everything is a mess, you just can’t think clearly.

Studies show that people are usually more successful if they work, study, or live in a clean and tidy environment. A study showed that a high percentage (百分率) of children with bad behavior (行为，举止) come from messy houses. Children who grow up in dirty houses tend to be unhealthy and they fall sick more often too. This is why people with tidier homes are often healthier and more successful. My mom is a good example of this. She makes sure our home is always very clean and comfortable, so my sister and I hardly ever fall sick. Everyone loves her and she is very successful at her job in a bank.

I am not a naturally (天生的) tidy person. I sometimes throw my clothes on the floor because I am too tired to put them away, and I often leave rubbish on my desk. It is not easy to keep things clean all the time, but I am trying to develop the habit of tidying up every day. Maybe one day I will be as tidy and successful as my mom!

【1】The writer hates to do chores but she has to do them because ________.

A．her mother makes her do them

B．she wants to help her mother

C．she can’t relax or work if her room is untidy

D．she thinks doing chores is good exercise

【2】What does the sentence “a tidy home means a tidy mind” mean?

A．If everything is a mess, you can’t think clearly.

B．The tidier your home is, the cleverer you are.

C．A person with a tidy home usually has a healthy lifestyle.

D．A smart person’s home is always clean and comfortable.

【3】What is the result of the study?

A．No kids like to live in messy homes with their parents.

B．A lot of children from messy homes have bad behavior.

C．Parents and kids should keep the house clean and tidy together.

D．People with tidier homes are healthier and more successful.

【4】Which of the following is NOT true about the writer?

A．She is a naturally tidy person.

B．She wants to be like her mother.

C．She is lazy sometimes but she is trying to be tidy.

D．She thinks tidying up every day is a good habit.

22、The experience itself is the best way to learn, because otherwise (否则) it wouldn’t be us who learned, but those who lived the experience. Only through experiences and accenting mistakes and failures (失败) can we move forward.

We could say that life is a journey of learning, and the only way to get the better of it is by living. We never learn through the experiences of others. It is true that at birth we depend on adults to survive (生存) but it is also true that we try our best to have our own experiences to learn, and then grow.

To learn, we need to discover, fail and be right. That is learning by trying and making mistakes until we find our way to success. Since we were very little, we learned more from our own experiences than from the advice of adults. By living the experience itself, we internalize (内化) it meaningfully and deeply. So, most of these teachings will stay in our memory.

If we want to learn, grow and improve ourselves, we are going to fail. However, getting up and moving on makes us stronger, braver and smarter. It gives us a collection of reasons to feel proud. Blaming (指责) ourselves for failing is not accepting our human condition and losing the opportunity to continue learning and moving forward. We could say that the more mistakes we make, the more we are living.

We are becoming stronger after our failures, getting up after falling and getting back on feet even when being wrong hurts. So, the best way is living different experiences, without fear of the result. In order to grow, we must move forward and move on.

Falling is inevitable. We do it from the time we are very small, when we learn to walk, ride a bike. Failing is inevitable when we want to move forward, reach our goals or change something that does not make us happy. However, it is wonderful to learn and discover our power.

【1】Which of the following is an example of learning through our own experiences?

A．Depending on adults to grow.

B．Following the advice of others.

C．Keeping on walking after falling.

D．Blaming ourselves for failing.

【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 4?

A．We accept ourselves by blaming.

B．Failing is the first step of learning.

C．Mistakes show the facts we living.

D．We make fewer mistakes when growing.

【3】The underlined sentence “Falling is inevitable” probably means _______.

A．it’s harmful that we will probably fall

B．it’s terrible that we will probably fail

C．it’s difficult that we will probably fall

D．it’s certain that we will probably fail

【4】What’s the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?

A．To advise us to learn from our own experiences.

B．To show failing is sure to happen while learning.

C．To offer us some ideas on how to learn better.

D．To suggest we face mistakes more bravely.

23、Many people hate doing chores around the house. But Marie Kondo is surely not one of them.

She started with her own bedroom and then moved onto her brothers’ and sisters’.

After years of practice, Marie found KonMari Method, her special way to simplify (使简化) and organize homes. Now she runs a successful business in Tokyo. Marie wrote four books on organizing. Among them, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up is the most popular one. It tells readers how to put together everything they have and keep only things they really care and need.

24、   Have you ever been cycling? This spring my elder brother 【1】 I spent a happy weekend cycling in the countryside. We rode slowly along the roads because 【2】 didn't have to break any speed records, or to do sports. We just wanted to get some fresh air and took 【3】 break from schoolwork. We really had a great time riding along country roads. And there was one of the best things about our trip that made us happy: every few miles there was a village 【4】 we could find everything we needed.

All the local people were really friendly. What we enjoyed ourselves most about cycling is that it's simple and fun. I think nothing is better than cycling if you're looking 【5】 a break that is active and cheap. Why not have a try?
