21、 Here's a surprising truth—one of the most powerful weapons to enhance your life is your own tongue!
【1】 Concentrate on the qualities of other people that you can affirm instead of on their faults.This alone should do wonders in relieving stress in your relationships.Doctors know that prolonged anxiety harms you，but encouraging words can remove stress and a peaceful mind leads to improve physical health，too.【2】
Avoid fueling verbal fire.When someone starts to blow up all at you，be careful about your response.Why burn your relationship house down with your own mouth？Try spraying water on an argument with calm words instead of using a flamethrower.How many marriages have been destroyed when in a fit of anger people spew out hurtful accusations to one another that are never forgotten！【3】 “A soft answer turns away wrath(狂怒)，but a harsh word stirs up anger.”
Stop complaining.We all know people who complain all the time，especially about the fault of others.【4】 Nothing is ever going well for them，and probably nothing ever will—as long as they keep complaining and putting their energy on what they really don't want.
Do think before you speak.【5】 It is useless regretting.It doesn't matter how unintentional they may be，words can sometimes cut a lot deeper than a sword.Very often you'll hear people say，“I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.”Well，if you didn't want to hurt feelings why couldn't you be thoughtful before you let the unpleasant words escape your loose lips?
A.You should practice waiting a while before answering someone when you are angry.
B.Practice speaking positive words instead of negative ones.
C.We store in our minds in a kind of mental art gallery what others have said to us.
D.Once the words leave your mouth，it is impossible to take them back.
E.The longer you think，the better you'll speak.
F.The more they do so，the more they are disliked.
G.Think twice before speaking.
22、“If you’re so smart, how come you aren’t happy?”That’s Naval Ravikant’s challenge to everyone bathing in the suffering of-their own intelligence. 【1】. Here are some of the most common reasons why smart people fail to be happy.
Smart people always overthink. Some 50%-75% of adults overthink, and it affects our productivity, creativity, energy, sleep, and even our eating habits. 【2】Worst of all, we think overthinking is smart, but it’s dangerous.
【3】 . When you have high expectation for yourself, you become too outcome- focused. If nothing less than the best will do, you’ll have a hard time appreciating anything in your life, from your achievements at work to your relationships to your hobbies. You’ll also constantly criticize yourself for your mistakes. Intelligent people know how much they don’t know. This only gets worse when they learn more.
Smart people tend to stay away from others. Humans are social beings. No one wants to always be alone forever, and while studies show that intelligent people usually enjoy less social interaction than others, it does not mean they don’t require connections with people at all. 【4】
For many people, highly intellectual (深奥的) topics are too exciting most of the time, but that doesn’t mean they don’t know what it’s like to be an outsider. Everyone experiences that at some point in their life. Therefore, smart people’s case of lone wolf syndrome (独狼综合症)is overblown usually． 【5】But there’s always common ground to be found if you look for it, and for smart people, this is actually quite easy to do.
A．Smart people usually expect too much.
B．People consider intelligent ones as aliens.
C．It also prevents our learning and makes us age faster.
D．That is often the case for many of those smart people.
E．Smart people sometimes have higher expectations for others.
F．They often feel misunderstood looking for fewer connections.
G．They make themselves more of an outsider than they actually are.

24、“The worst gift is a fruitcake,” said Johnny Carson once in his popular TV show. “There’s only one fruitcake in the entire world, and people keep sending it to each other.” Most Chinese have never heard of Carson, a beloved American television host who died in 2005. 【1】
Mooncakes are often dense, cloyingly sweet — and, as Carson suggested, re-gifted. Chinese people usually eat them with their family members. They play a central role in celebrations of the traditional midautumn festival, a popular Chinese holiday that falls on September 10th. 【2】
Despite the outbreak of the pandemic, this year China is expected to produce 437,000 tones of mooncakes, according to iiMedia Research, a consultancy. Sales are likely to reach 24bn yuan ($3.5bn), up by 11.8% compared with last year. As most industries are gradually accustomed to functioning along with the pandemic, the mooncake industry, likewise, is now bouncing back to its pre-pandemic norms.
Most bakeries and restaurants offer mooncakes in their traditional form, with a heavy crust that puts in fillings such as red-bean paste, egg yolks or lotus seed. But expensive fillings, such as shark’s fin and edible bird’s nest, are sometimes added. 【3】 Some people use these luxurious mooncake packages as a clever bribing way to buy themselves up the ladder towards fame and power. That has led to new concerns over corruption and is out of step with the government’s drive to reduce inequality and control ostentatious (炫耀的) wealth.
Officials, therefore, have been inspecting mooncakes for sale in malls, supermarkets, hotels and restaurants. 【4】 Whoever sells a mooncake gift set for over 500 yuan must store the transaction data for 2 years in case of investigation.
A．The media have published photos of stuff wearing uniforms on the hunt for overpackaged and overpriced mooncakes.
B．However, the American host expressed his love for mooncakes on his show many times.
C．The expensive materials, however, come from the animals under strict protection by law.
D．But in the months leading up to the celebration, mooncakes have become the object of intense government inspection.
E．Luxury hotels and designer brands have packaged these fancy mooncakes together with gold leaf, jade and expensive tea or liquor.
F．Yet many would get his joke. China has its own fruitcake equivalent: mooncake.

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
We live in a technological society where most goods are mass-produced by unskilled labor. Because of this, most people think that craft (手艺) no longer exists. One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100-year-old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability (持久性). “Homes in those days were well-built,” they say. There is no doubt that these homes were well-built, but what these people have done is mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship.
Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, more people can no longer afford solid oak stairways, although they were once fairly common in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter to build the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairways. And not only would these carpenters know how to build them, they would probably do a better job than carpenters of old.
One thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do a better job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and power planes help them lay out a house better and make more precision cuts (精确切割) on the wood. Also, it is not uncommon any more to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs.
The problem of modern quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material.
