21、 If planning offers so many benefits, why do many professionals resist it? Some are more comfortable with acting, and therefore don’t want to devote so much time to it, or they think their circumstances are so likely to change that planning is useless. Other people complain that things are going so well or so badly that there’s no point in planning. Finally, some people don’t make strategic plans because they can’t recognize the difference between strategic and short term, operational planning—how to get where you’ve already decided to go.
Circumstances do change, and it’s reasonable to wonder about the value of planning when things are changing so rapidly. But the plans we are talking about are not set in concrete. They are adaptable frameworks, goals, that can conform to(顺应) changing circumstances. There’s nothing wrong with changing direction, if we know what we’re doing and understand our own reasoning.Why plan if things are going fine? Won’t they continue like this? Won’t the skills we now use always be in demand? Probably not—especially in science and technology. Being prepared for new situations is a leading reason for having a strategic plan in the first place. Even if we cannot predict everything that will affect our path, we have a better chance of dealing with it effectively if we’ve thought ahead.Things are going terribly, and I can’t bother planning because survival is the name of the game right now. Good reasoning. If it seems that it’s going to be a close call just to reach that contracted goal, don’t worry about starting a new overall strategy. But most of us often think things are worse than they truly are. If you are continually moving from one crisis(危机) to another, you may need to take some time off to understand why. Are you really heading where you want to go? What changes in direction could prevent some of these crises in the first place?
So, spend some time thinking about your future, outline your plans, and discuss them with people close to you. Strategic planning takes work, but it pays off. It’s an exciting way to create the future rather than just coast into it.
【1】Many professionals refuse to make strategic plans since they believe that .
A. operational planning is more important
B. planning is harmful and unhealthy

A. is flexible and may change with changing situations
B. may lose its value when the circumstances change
C. guides us through each stage of life to our destiny
D. adapts us to the changing environment at all times
【3】Even if we are doing well, we still need planning because .
A. we can do much better with an overall working plan
B. it offers a framework from which to solve any difficulties
C. work skills today will go out of use sooner or later
D. it helps us to deal with unpredictable situations
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards strategic planning ?

22、In every level of education, students experience more or less stress and pressure. Several courses at a time, exams, homework, social challenges, homesickness, etc. are some common factors that make a student worried. In many cases, students struggle to adjust to heavy schedules and deadlines demanded by their institutions.【1】
Exercise
Doing exercise or participating in different kinds of sports helps to reduce stress and allows us to have a fresh and cheerful mind. 【2】Besides, doing yoga, meditation, cycling, and hanging out with friends and family will help a student to have a positive mood throughout the day.
Healthy diet
Many students like to eat junk food rather than a healthy diet. But everyone should know that a balanced diet helps to boost energy and brainpower. Eating green vegetables and fruits enriched with vitamin C helps to make the immune system stronger and more effective. 【3】And gradually you might become more inactive and unhealthy, which can badly affect your life and study.
Sleeping well
Sleeping can be the best medicine for you to increase your productivity and energy. Even a thirty minutes nap makes one more relieved. In many cases, we see that students packed with heavy schedules and deadlines put themselves in a sleepless and restless state.【4】So, it’s necessary to sleep at least 7-9 hours daily.
【5】
Many students don’t know how to reduce tension in the exam. The key to reducing the tension and stress of the exam is to use time wisely. Setting up a daily schedule for your study is necessary to complete your lessons and homework properly.
A.Time management

23、At 3:30 a.m. EDT on April 19, the Ingenuity helicopter --- which landed on Mars with the Perseverance rover (漫游者) in February --- took off from the Martian surface. More importantly, it circled for about 30 seconds, three meters above the surface and came right back down again.
It may not sound like a huge achievement, but it is. Ingenuity’s flight is the first powered flight of an aircraft on another planet. It marks the milestone in the story of human space exploration.
There are several technological challenges to conduct helicopter flight in another world. First, and more significantly, helicopters need an atmosphere to fly. The blades (桨叶), or “rotors” of a helicopter must spin (旋转) fast enough to generate a force called “lift”. But lift can only be generated in the presence of some kind of atmosphere. While Mars does have an atmosphere, it’s much, much thinner than Earth’s --- about 100 times thinner, in fact.
Flying Ingenuity in Mar’s atmosphere is therefore the equivalent (对等物) of flying a helicopter on Earth at a height of 100,000 feet. For reference, commercial aircraft fly between 30,000-40,000 feet above the Earth’s surface and the highest we’ve ever been in a helicopter on Earth is 42,000 feet.
Then there’s the Martian gravity to consider. It is about one-third the strength of gravity on Earth, which means we’d be able to lift Ingenuity with less power than would be required here. But while Mars’ gravity works to our advantage, this is cancelled out by the lack of atmosphere.
Even sending the signal for the flight to begin required a collection of advanced technology. While it only requires minutes for radio signals to travel between Earth and Mars, there was still a delay of hours for those signals to reach the helicopter.
All these things require Ingenuity to be light enough. Actually, it weighs less than 4 pounds, stands just 1.6 feet tall, and carries batteries, heaters and sensors. Besides, its two rotors had to spin about 2,400 revolutions per minute — five times faster than on Earth.
When in flight, Ingenuity’s shadow gives the impression of oversized, four-winged dragonfly. But the tiny craft is set to make an enormous impact on space exploration. “Sojourner’s technical exposure in 1997 gave NASA the guarantee of future pilots. What the Ingenuity team has done has given us a new chance. I think that’s the way we build the future,” said JPL director Michael Watkins. In addition, Watkins believes that Ingenuity is expected to lay the foundation for more antigravity spacecraft capable of exploring other worlds in a totally new way.
【1】Which of the following is of extraordinary significance according to the author?
A.The Ingenuity helicopter landed on Mars successfully
B.The Ingenuity helicopter made its first flight on Mars.
C.The Ingenuity helicopter stayed on Mars for a long time
D.The Ingenuity helicopter travelled between Mars and Earth.
【2】What can we learn about Mars’ atmosphere?
A.It can hardly provide a lift for Ingenuity to fly.
B.It’s not safe for Ingenuity to fly high and fast.
C.It’s too thin to keep Ingenuity stable in the air.
D.It can only raise Ingenuity to a height of 100,000 feet.
【3】What can we know from Paragraph 3 to Paragraph 6?
A.How Ingenuity performed during the flight
B.Why Ingenuity’s flight on Mars is a big deal
C.How Ingenuity survived the tough conditions of Mars
D.What contributed to the successful flight of Ingenuity
【4】Why did Michael Watkins mention Sojourner?
A.To explain how its mission differs from Ingenuity’s.
B.To show technological progress in Mars exploration.
C.To stress the significance of Ingenuity’s flight on Mars.
D.To illustrate the impact of space exploration on future flight.
24、Hands-on basketball
The boy was only nine years old when he designed a “hands-on basketball”. Chris Haas had the idea when he saw his friends miss lots of baskets. His basketball has painted hands on it. The hands show you where to put your hands when you throw the ball. Today people use his invention around the world.
Wristies
At age 10, Kathryn Gregory was playing outside one day in the cold. Her wrists (手腕) began to hurt from the cold so she decided to find a way to keep both her hands and wrists warm during the winter. In 1994, she invented Wristies: fuzzy sleeves (毛绒袖子) that can be worn underneath gloves to protect your wrists from the cold. She worked with her mom to get the idea off the ground and now the product is sold worldwide.
Makin’ Bacon
Abbey Fleck was 8 years old when she noticed how much time her parents spent soaking up bacon fat (吸干培根油脂) after cooking. She realized that it might be easier to hang bacon while it cooks. That way you wouldn’t need paper towels and it would even make the bacon healthier. She then worked with her father to design a dish that hangs bacon while it cooks. Now people can see her invention in many supermarkets.
Braille
Louis Braille had an accident when he was three. The accident left him blind. At that time, it was hard for blind children to read. They had to touch raised letters. But it was difficult to tell a Q from an O, an R from a B, and so on. When he was fifteen, Louis invented an alphabet (字母表) that used raised dots. The Braille alphabet was a big success!
