21、Going to a friend’s house is very exciting. You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he lives. So remember to be polite.

When to arrive

The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you to his/her house, you need to arrive on time. If your friend tells you to come “around 3:00”, that means you can arrive a few minutes after 3:00, but it is also a good idea to arrive at the right time.

What to bring

Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend’s house. This could be a box of chocolates for you two to share(分享), or maybe a movie that you can watch together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift(=present) is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.

How to greet (问候)

When you visit your friend’s house, you may also meet his parents. You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names. As a child, I went to visit my friend Paul. I called his parents by their first names John and Mary. But now I know it is more polite to call them Mr. or Mrs. Smith. This will show them more respect(尊重).

It is a cool thing to visit a friend’s house. Be polite to your friend’s parents, and you will be invited again!

22、Modern life is impossible without travelling. The fastest way of travelling is by plane. By plane, you can travel in one day to places which it took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.

You can stop wherever you wish-where there is something interesting to see, at good restaurants where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel to spend the night.

23、   Do you want to be a very successful person? Being successful needs a lot, such as knowledge, hard work and maybe sometimes luck. Some experts(专家)share advice on how to become successful. Most experts agree on one thing：starting your day on the right foot is the most important.

Collected from the advice, here are some ideas on how to start your day off right:

Get up an hour early. People who get up early in the morning have a jump on the day. The morning may be the best part of your day when you can do your best work. "The early bird gets the worm." It means that people who get up early have a head start so they are more possible to succeed.

Drink a glass of lemon water. Why? Health experts say that drinking some lemon water first in the morning jump-starts the body's metabolism(新陈代谢). Not only does it jump-start your body's cells(细胞), but this kind of drink keeps them moving throughout the day.

Don' t answer email or jump into social media(社交媒体) as soon as you get up. During breakfast, you decide to check your email or open up your Wechat. You see some Wechat moments from friends. They post pictures to tell about something happy, sad, interesting or boring. Before you notice it, 10 minutes has passed! You hurry out of the door not to be late for school. This is not a good way to start your day.

Exercise! Running on the playground with friends may be a great way to start your day. Exercise experts often suggest some exercise in the morning because the middle of the day is busy for most people. By the day's end, you may feel too tired to exercise. How many times have you finished school and said to yourself, "I'm too tired to exercise! I'll do it tomorrow."

Think about your day at night, Take time at the end of the day to think back on all the things that you have done. You probably didn't have time to do everything you planned. But that's fine. If you did one thing, that means you are one step closer in reaching your goals(目标). And spend a little time thinking about tomorrow.

You will be successful as long as you start your day on the right foot.

【1】Some experts think if we want to become successful, it is the most important to ________.

A.have some good luck B.work very hard at night

C.learn some knowledge D.begin our day in the right way

【2】According to the passage, the writer believes that ________.

A.it's a great way to share moments on Wechat in the morning

B.drinking lemon water in the morning can help us fight colds

C.people who get up early in the morning are all very successful

D.it's good to do one thing that you plan a day and get close to your goals

【3】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.How to start your day on the right foot B.How to set a goal for tomorrow

C.What exercise to do in the day D.What to think about at night

24、There were many plants in a forest. When spring came, a pine tree saw a red rose nearby and said, “What a beautiful flower! I wish I were that lovely.”

The rose proudly said, “It seems that I am the most beautiful flower in this forest.” Then the rose looked at a cactus (仙人掌) and said, “Look at that ugly plant full of thorns (刺)!”

“What a proud flower!” thought the pine tree.

As the days passed, the red rose often looked at the cactus and said bad words about it, like “This plant is useless. How sorry I am to be his neighbor!”

The cactus never got angry and even tried to advise the rose, saying, “Everything has its value.”

One day the rose saw birds put their beaks (喙) into the cactus and then fly away. The red rose asked the pine tree what the birds were doing. The pine tree explained that the birds were getting water from the cactus.

“The cactus has water?” asked the rose.

“Yes, you can also drink some from it. The birds can bring water to you if you ask the cactus for help.”
