21、The Stress of a Move
Research has shown that a move is more stressful than divorce. Personally, as someone who has moved 17 times in 15 years, I agree with this 100 percent.
【1】 The fact of the matter is, there’s no one cause of stress when it comes to a big move. Instead, it’s a bunch of smaller things that add up to make a move one of the more stressful things that many of us will ever do.
Changes
Every move carries some big changes along with it. You’re changing your location, the layout of your home, maybe even your friends and your job. 【2】 It’s okay to feel a little anxious at the thought of a big change, even if you know it’s for the best.
Money
Of course, one of the biggest pain points for anyone making a major move is money. 【3】 Even if you’re a fan of minimalist living and you can fit all of your possessions into the back of your car, there are still costs associated with moving into a new house or apartment.
Time
【4】 Whether you’re moving out of state, to the other side of the world, or just down the block, it takes time to get yourself and your possessions settled into your new place. 【5】 When you’re moving, you can expect to be driving a truck, carrying heavy loads, or unpacking your things. Having to put your life on hold while you get your move sorted out can be stressful, especially in light of the major changes that you’re making.
A．A move takes so much time!
B．What makes a move so stressful?
C．This isn’t a restful time, though.
D．If you’re moving because of a break-up, the stress can become unbearable.
E．Studies have reported that a move is one of the most stressful life events.
F．Most of the time, moving your things is not something that you can do alone.
G．These changes are unavoidable, and even good changes can be a little scary.
22、Exchange a glance with someone, and then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer and you have made a different situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s stare without being friendly, rude, or aggressive. If you are on a lift, what stare-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no harm. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to send out a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact----what sociologist Erving Goffiman calls “a dimming(变暗) of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at the indicator(指示) lights, anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on a lift, you will make the other person extremely uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.
If you hold eye contact for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They stare at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals, “I know you”, “I am interested in you” or “You look peculiar(奇怪) and I am curious about you”. This type of stare often produces hostile(敌意的) feelings.
【1】 If one is looked at by a stranger for too long, he tends to feel ________.
A. depressed B. uneasy
C. curious D. amused
【2】 If you want to be left alone on a lift, the best thing to do is _____.
A. to look into another passenger’s eyes
B. to avoid eye contact with other passengers
C. to signal you don’t mean to do harm to anyone
D. to keep a distance from other passengers
【3】It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ________.
A. every glance has its significance
B. staring at a person is an expression of interest
C. a stare longer than 3 seconds is unacceptable
D. a glance conveys more meaning than words
23、My father was 44 and knew he wasn't going to make it to 45. He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.
Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One part always stands out. “Right now, you are pretending to be a timekiller . But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.” Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. “You will do something great.” He didn't know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I've felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask, “Is this what you were talking about, Dad? Should I keep going？”
A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, though, I've come to believe he'd want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of, and believe in, somebody else. It's time to start writing my own letters to my children. Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids don't hold back because they're afraid to fail. They're only afraid of failing us. They don't worry about being disappointed. Their fear－as mine was until my father's letter－is of being a disappointment.
Give your children permission to succeed. They're waiting for you to believe in them.
I always knew my parents loved me. But trust me: That belief will be more complete, that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts：“Don't worry; you'll do something great.” Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.
【1】We learn from the text that the author ________.
A. lost his father when he was young
B. worked hard before he read his father's letter
C. asked his father's permission to believe in himself
D. knew exactly what great thing his father wanted him to do

A. Children need their parents' letters.
B. Children are afraid to be disappointed.
C. His children's fear of failure held them back.
D. His father's letter removed his fear of failing his parents.
【3】Which of the following is TRUE of the author?
A. He got no access to success.
B. He wrote back to his father at 12.
C. He was sure his parents loved him.
D. He once asked his father about the letter.
【4】The main purpose of the text is to ________.

24、 Bryan and Tamera Wong of Clovis, California, once had a very different plan for their life together. They imagined having two children and Tamera driving a convertible (敞篷车). But there seemed a different plan waiting for them, they say, and it’s far better.
The couple has 12 children. 【1】 Tamera drives a van that can seat 15 people, and she couldn’t be happier.
Their eldest biological daughter, Breanna, 20, had a hand in the adoptions. At age 6, she asked her parents a big question as they collected items to send to an orphanage (孤儿院) in Mexico, “Mom, I know we are gathering all these clothes and toys for orphans. 【2】 ”
They thought over her question, and it led them to adopt a healthy baby girl, Brooklyn, from an orphanage in China in 2004.
【3】 That led to the adoption of Blythe, 17, Bethany, 10, Braxton, 10, Bayley, 8, Bella, 7, Beka-Joy, 4, and Bennett, 4. Four are missing limbs, and two have a birth defect where the spinal chord（脊髓） doesn’t develop properly. Blythe has a neurological disorder.
“We think we are saving these kids and we are helping them out, but really they truly blessed (护佑) us,” Bryan says. “ 【4】 ”
Bryce, 16, one of the Wongs’ four biological children, loves his big family. “We should love the orphans of the world, and I feel like we are pretty much doing that,” Bryce says. 【5】 “I think they are definitely taking action. Not just listening, but doing.”
A．He’s proud of his parents.
B．What can we do to help them keep fit?
C．Eight are adopted — seven with disabilities.
D．We are able to learn many things through them.
E．But isn’t what orphans really need just a family?
F．The couple always dreamed of having a big family.
G．After that, they started looking for children with the most needs.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Tucker stood by the back door and considered the winter sky: ice blue and not a single cloud. His breath made steamy circles in the air.
“I don’t think today’s the day, Tuck. We have to wait for the snow.” His father walked up beside him and looked outside. Then he walked off toward the basement door.
Tucker looked across the backyard of his family’s new house. Just beyond some pine trees, the flat ground pushed upward into a steep and empty hillside. Dad had promised that the hill would be perfect for sledding.
Tucker’s brand-new sled (雪橇板) rested in the corner of his room, sandwiched between his dresser and train table. It was perfect. He was sure it would be superfast. If only it would snow.
Tucker kicked gently at the door, then turned and went to look for his elder brother. Paul was in his usual spot, controller in hand, working his way through a video game.
“Hi, Paul.” Tucker sat down beside his brother. No response. “I said, ‘Hi!’” He tried speaking louder this time. “Sorry, Tuck. I’m at level ten. Later, OK?” Paul’s eyes remained glued to the screen. Tucker sighed and got up.
Tucker went down to the basement and found his father surrounded by piles of flattened cardboard (硬纸板) boxes. “Can you play knights (骑士) with me, Dad?” Tucker asked. His father looked over the wall of boxes and told him he had promised to get all these boxes broken down and ready for recycling. Tucker sighed. Suddenly, he got an idea.
“Dad, can I have some boxes and some duct tape (胶带)?” Tucker asked. His father smiled, grabbed the duct tape and tossed (扔) it to Tucker. “Have fun.”
Despite the cold, Tucker was sweating from carrying a mountain of cardboard into the backyard.
Paul appeared and asked, “What are you up to?” “Oh, good. I need help cutting the duct tape.” Tucker threw the sticky silver tape roll to his brother.
An hour later, Tucker and Paul stood, with a cardboard sled, on top of the hill under the fading January sun.
Para 1: “Do you think it will work?” Paul asked as he handed Tucker his sled.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2: “That’s so cool! Your turn!” Tucker collapsed (倒) next to Paul, breathless.
