21、“Keep your eyes on the ball.” That is good advice when you are on the playing field, and good advice for everyday life. “Keep your mind on what’s important,” is the way I’d put it. But people are funny. They think too much about the details.
I had a secretary once. She was very hardworking. I ran a school and people used to call up to enroll for courses. Berry used to get angry at the phone. “If they keep on ringing, I’ll never get my typing done!” she’d shout.
People just don’t see the big picture. One evening, after leaving work, I was sitting next to a man on the train. I was feeling tired. My eyes fell on the paper he had spread out in front of him. You know how you feel to read over someone’s shoulder?
I read the page and leaned back. I guessed I was waiting for him to turn it. After a while, I realized—he wasn’t turning the page. He just kept on reading.
Now if you knew the page he was reading, you’d know that there weren’t many words on the page to read anyway. The layout was mostly pictures. So I turned to the man and said,” You know, you really read very slowly.”
“What do you mean?” he asked. “Well,” I told him, “I read the page in about a minute, and you have taken about ten. And you are still reading. You know,” I went on “If you learned to read faster, you could get more reading done.” He remained silent for a minute or two. “If I read too fast, my paper wouldn’t last me to my station.”
【1】The writer wasn’t satisfied with his secretary because ___.
A. she didn’t put first thing first
B. she was too busy
C. she was easy to get angry
D. she couldn’t finish her work on time
【2】The train rider read newspaper ___.
A. to take in information B. to enjoy pictures
C. to save time D. to kill time
【3】The writer thinks that people seem to need a sense of ___.
A. what to read first B. how to read fast
C. what is important D. what is funny
【4】The passage is mainly about the writer’s opinion on people’s ___.
A. judgment B. work C. life D. habits
22、We’ve seen photographs that seem to show unbelievable images, thanks to photo editing software. But do you know you can create images that look impossible without any fancy software or computer effects? 【1】
Playing with perspective
One of the easiest tricks is called forced perspective. 【2】 The person in front will look large, and the person farther away will look very small. The person in front can hold out their hand as if they were holding something, and the person in back is being held in the front person’s hand. You can also do this trick with objects like the sun or a full moon.
Flying superheroes
How can you take a photograph of a friend so that they seem to be flying superheroes? Have your friend dress up in a superhero costume, especially one with a cape (斗篷). You can pose them outside against the open sky, and have another friend hold the cape out so it looks like they’re flying. Position yourself low and take the photo looking slightly upward so the ground isn’t visible. After you take the photo, you can cut it, 【3】
Other tricks
You can have several of your friends lie flat on a solid-colored sheet so they’re arranged to look like they’re piled in a human pyramid. 【4】 If you take the photo in the moment when they are off the ground, you can cut it so they look like they’re floating. Have a friend draw funny eyeballs on the back of their hand and then hold their hand across their real eyes for a funny face photo.
【5】 The only rule is not to do anything risky and to have fun.
A．so the hand holding the cape out isn’t visible.
B．so your friends look like they are trapped inside.
C．You can create your own trick photos by exploring other ways to use all these tricks.
D．You can also take a photo of your friend jumping up into the air.
E．Here are some easy tricks that can create images fooling your eyes.
F．The other method is to take a sheet, lay it flat on the ground, and decorate it with buildings.
G．To do this, you set up a camera shot with someone close to the camera and someone farther away.
23、Scholarship Application Tips in 2014 for college students
Before you apply
1．Work hard to get good grades．Don’t sweat about one bad grade, but always strive（力求）to do your best．
2．Get involved, and stay involved, in extracurricular（课外的）activities．Sports, clubs, drama, bands and orchestras－these often count toward a student’s overall scholarship application evaluation．The same goes for paid （or unpaid） work experience．
3．Begin your scholarship research early－by your sophomore（大学二年级）or junior year of high school, if possible．Make special note of application deadlines, as they can vary from late summer to late spring．
4．Apply for as many scholarships as you are eligible（符合条件的）for－several smaller scholarships can add up to a lot of money．
During the application process
1．Read the supplementary materials that come with scholarship application forms to better understand the program’s focus （community service, subject interest）．Try to answer the questions with the focus area in mind．
2．Answer questions as they are asked．Don’t go off the topic．
3．If there is a financial component to the application, make sure you get accurate and complete information from all appropriate sources to ensure your eligibility．
4．Take your time．Write down everything you can think of for each question, then set the application aside for a day so you can look everything over again before you send it off．
5．Don’t wait until the last minute to complete your application, especially if you are applying online．Computer systems can get clogged（阻塞的）with the large volume of applicants hoping to submit their qualifications during the last few days and hours before a deadline．
6．If a third party has to complete part of your application, such as providing a letter of recommendation, make sure you ask them early on and remind them as often as necessary to ensure they provide you with the necessary materials．
7．Last but not least, review your application with your parents to make sure you haven’t left out any important details．

24、Growing pains and gains
It’s not easy to grow up. Actually it’s far from easy. Growing up can be a real “pain” for some of us. We are always doing things that someone else makes us do and aren’t allowed to do all the things we like. Sometimes we feel trapped, sometimes we are fearful, and sometimes we just don’t understand why we can’t stay young forever. When we look back on all the hardships in life with a positive attitude (态度), we realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains!
As a young girl my parents forced my sisters and me to do so many things that I never liked. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music, just because it was what they wanted me to do. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched my life in so many ways. I realize that my parents and teachers were always pushing me along, not because they wanted me to suffer but because they wanted me to succeed in life. They’ve always wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.
Every moment of our lives we are either living or dying, so live life to its fullest! We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just small pains in life. They might seem so huge at the time but we must be strong.Think about how we would feel if we had no fear and live life like that. The future is ours! A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone! If we realize that these pains are just small bumps (凸块) on our road to success we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains!
【1】According to Paragraph 1, we learn that when we are young,_________.
A.life is full of joy
B.life is easy for us
C.we know we can stay young forever

【2】When the author was young, she was forced by her parents to________.
A.take music lessons
B.turn gains into pains

【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Growing pains are necessary for us to grow up.
B.We all have to experience growing pains.
C.A little hard work and sweat are harmful to us.
D.Life without fear is a better choice for us.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Whoa! What are you doing? ” I asked, shocked.
I had just walked into my daughter’s room as she was working on a science project. Normally, I would have been pleased at such a sight. But this time, her project needed sand, a lot of it. And, while she had put some plastic below her work area, it wasn’t nearly enough. The sand was spreading all over our newly decorated floors.
My daughter, who immediately felt my displeasure, began to defend herself. “I used plastic!” she responded angrily.
I reacted more angrily, “But the sand is getting all over!”
“Where else am I supposed to do it?” she yelled.
Why won’t she admit (承认) when she’s done something wrong? I thought to myself. I felt my fear, projecting into the future: What would her life look like if she couldn’t admit her mistakes?
My fear translated into more anger, this time about how important it was for her to admit mistakes, and we began to argue. She said something that felt disrespectful to me and I raised my voice. It started to get out of control. This scene had happened in my family over and over again, a hysterical (歇斯底里的) daughter and a yelling mom. It usually started with unrealized expectations and ended in anger, frustration (挫败), sadness, and loss of confidence on both sides.
I tried my best to calm down, but somehow I stormed out of her room. Just at the moment, her door shut heavily behind me. How could she do this to me! So angry was I that I decided to give her a lesson. When my husband came back from work, seeing the look on my face, he figured out what had happened almost at once. “A rough fight again?” Eddie asked. After hearing the whole thing, he said gently “Have you ever thought that maybe you should have given her a chance to explain the situation before you lost your temper?” His words set me thinking, I began to reflect on my behaviors.
