22、A group of university graduates visited their old professor. During their visit, the conversation turned to work. The graduates were complaining about their problems and stress in work and in life. After offering coffee to his guests, the professor went to the kitchen and came back with a coffee pot and a tray (托盘), crowded with many different cups: porcelain (陶瓷), glass, plastic and crystal (水晶).
Some cups were simple, other ones expensive. The professor asked them to pick out their cups first. When the graduates picked out their favorite cups. The professor explained, “Notice how all the beautiful cups were picked out and the simple and cheap ones were left.”
“Wanting only the best things for yourself is the source of your problems and stress. You need to understand that the cup doesn’t make the coffee better. Actually, all that you wanted was the coffee not the cup. But you consciously (有意识地) chose the best cups, and then looked to see what cups others picked.”
“Life is the coffee. Your job, money, position in society...they are the cups. The type of cup doesn’t determine the quality of life. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cups, we forget to enjoy the taste of coffee. The happiest people are not those who have the best things, but those who enjoy life and make the most of what they have.”

23、①The 24th Winter Olympic Games were just hosted in Beijing, but the city was no stranger to competitive (竞技性的) sports on snow and ice.
②Actually competitive winter sports were already popular in China a thousand years ago in the form of bingxi (playing on ice). Bingxi began in the Song Dynasty and became really popular during the Qing Dynasty. Emperor Qianlong hosted bingxi nearly every year. He had the first one in 1742, almost two hundred years before the first Winter Olympic Games.
③Events of bingxi were recorded by many ancient palace painters. A bingxi painting just shows scenes of bingxi during the Qing Dynasty.
④In bingxi, three types of ice skating are performed. The first one is the speed race which is similar to modern speed skating. Participants (参赛者) skated to the emperor’s ice bed, from two to three kilometers away. In the painting, the emperor is seated inside his ice bed. Whoever reaches the emperor first wins first prize. The second is figure skating. Jumps, spins (旋转) and pair work moves in modern figure skating can all be found in the painting. The third is soccer on ice. Participants in two teams skate, kick and try to score goals. If the “tool” for scoring goals is changed from legs to sticks, it is similar to today’s ice hockey (冰球).
⑤The love of winter sports has never diminished in China. Since Beijing hosted the 2022 Winter Olympic Games, more and more people have taken part in winter sports.
【1】The painting describes bingxi of the _________.
A.Song Dynasty

Everyone has some time in their lives when everything seems very hard, when there’s nobody to talk to and the mood is just getting worse and worse. There 【1】 (be) some things that may help you lift up your mood.
【2】 first thing you should try is finding your friends and thinking positively (乐观地).

Making another person feel happy will make you feel good in your heart and mind.
