21、A year back I received a full scholarship to attend the University of San Francisco. All of my hard work had paid off. My mom had spent a lot in my attending a private high school, so I made sure to push myself： I volunteered, got involved in various clubs, and graduated with honors. I was so excited to start a new chapter(篇章)of my life. I had totally packed two weeks before it was time to leave.
Soon enough, the big day came, but it wasn't like what I had thought. The first two weeks were the most difficult days of my entire life. Every night I would cry myself to sleep. I was so homesick and I didn't know how to deal with my broken heart. To distract myself, I threw myself into my studies and I applied for a ton of jobs. In any remaining free time, I started forcing myself to the gym. I wanted to keep every part of my day busy so I wouldn't think how lonely I felt.
Soon after, I began to limit food，and then I became worse. Finally, I went to see a doctor. When the doctor weighed me, I was crazy about the number of my weight. So I continued to lower my goal, and convinced that controlling this number was the solution for my homesickness. But when I was told that I had no choice but to spend time on my studies. I quickly started recovery in my mind.
How could I do? I told myself that school was what I was best at. I decided to get rid of my homesickness and took exercise actively. My first term of college had passed by at last and I had gotten straight A's. That's why I want to share my story－to help other students feel less lonely.

22、Should we save endangered languages?
I met Ariep on an island in the South Pacific nation of Vanuatu. Being the last fluent Naati speaker in the area, he sorrowfully expressed his fear that, with his death, the language would no longer exist.
Naati is just an example of endangered languages. Today, 50% to 90% of the world's languages are considered at risk of falling out of use by the end of the century.
Over the last 10 years, this crisis has attracted more public attention. While we praise previous efforts made to protect dying languages native to specific places and spoken by aboriginal(土著的)people, let's stop and ask: Why does it matter?
Should Naati's fate concern the world? Many speakers of endangered languages, including Ari-ep, communicate fluently in other languages. Is the hope of “saving” these small languages just a romantic idea of unrealistic scholars?
As a linguist, I'm on the opposite side of those answering “yes”. I understand how critical and urgent language loss is. Individual communities rely on languages to form culture and identity, and for the global community languages are an invaluable source of information about human cognition(认知).
If a language is lost, the relevant community heritage will disappear. For instance, people who speak Lulamogi in Uganda feel anxious that as people forget the terms describing methods of catching and eating while ants, they will also forget this important cultural practice. Language loss also means a loss of community identity and self-determination. Measuring their exact damage is hard, but the loss indeed harms the well-being of community members. By contrast, the ability of community members to speak their native language together enhances well-being. In British Columbia, re-search has proved that the young generations in communities where at least 50% of the people speak the native language tend to exhibit a stronger sense of well-being and more optimistic attitudes to-ward life.
When a language is disappearing, more is lost than just certain bits of information. Under-standing language is vital to understanding human cognition. Every language presents us with apiece of the puzzle for finding out how language works in our mind, without which we are prevented from seeing the full picture.
For everyone's sake, we must preserve the world's languages to ensure linguistic diversity for future generations.
【1】What does the underlined word “ it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Ariep's fear.
B．Naati's fate.
C．Public concern over the crisis.
D．Protecting endangered languages.
【2】What are the consequences of language loss?
①Broken dreams of scholars.
②Loss of information sources.
③Failure to understand the world.
④Damaging effects on well-being.
⑤Disappearance of cultural heritage.
A．①②③
B．①③⑤
C．②④⑤
D．②③④
【3】Which of the following words can best describe the author's attitude toward saving endangered languages?
A．Neutral.
B．Supportive.
C．Unconcerned.
D．Disapproving.
【4】Where is the text probably taken from?
A．A diary.
B．A novel.
C．A report.
D．A magazine.
23、Summer is the swimming season. As fun as a swimming pool can be, it’s also a major safety risk if you don’t take the appropriate precautions (预防措施). Here are some tips for a safe swimming season.
【1】 If children or inexperienced swimmers are in the pool, it’s very important to have close supervision. Supervisors should be an adult who can swim well and knows how to save others in a swimming pool. They mustn’t be distracted with their cellphone, or a conversation with another adult. They must take that role very seriously. 【2】. More children aged 1 to 4 die from drowning than any other causes of death.
Keep a variety of flotation devices in and around the pool like a life jacket plus pool noodles or a paddle board. That helps when accidents happen. 【3】.
Supervisors should also learn basic CPR.
The steps are:
1. Place the person on his back and gently lift his chin and tilt (倾斜) his head back.
2. Place one hand over the other, place them over the patient’s breastbone and administer 30 chest presses.
3. Pinch their nose and place your mouth tightly over their mouth and administer two short breaths
Start again until the patient starts breathing.
【4】 Emergency department staff sometimes see significant head injuries and spinal cord injuries that come from careless diving. This happens more among teenagers and young adults. Prevent this by making sure people are only using existing diving boards that are designed to dive into deep water.
Another risk is a condition called “dry drowning”. This happens after a near-drowning event in which water gets into someone’s lungs. 【5】. Call 120 or go to the emergency department right away. This is very rare, but can be fatal (致命的).
A．Drowning can happen in an instant
B．Adults should watch over the safety
C．Drowning isn’t the only danger with pools
D．Pool owners should be sure to have a fence around their pool
E．Call for help and start administering CPR as quickly as possible
F．A drowning person having something to grab can get out of the pool quickly
G．That means the airway is closed off and can’t provide someone with enough oxygen
24、 Knowing what not to do at checkout and properly preparing for it can turn a potentially heated situation into a quick thank you and goodbye. Below we compiled a list of things you should remember at hotel checkout.
1. Don’t be late to checkout
Hotels may add an outrageously high price for being just a half-hour late. If you know you won’t make the cutoff time, it never hurts to call ahead and try to negotiate a potential charge.
2. Don’t forget to double check the room and safe
Make sure you don’t leave anything behind. If you have an early flight or checkout time, pack up as much as you can the night before so that last-minute rush isn’t too hurried. Also, be sure to take out anything in the room safe.
3. Don’t freak out
Spitting venom (毒液) at the assistant manager standing behind the front desk probably won’t help when dealing with an unexpected item on the bill. Being empathetic about how difficult it can be to deal with annoyed customers will likely go much further.
4. Don’t pay with cash or debit card (借记卡)
Disputing your bill after paying with cash is a lot harder than working with a credit card company to get a charge back. If you pay with a debit card, you may not have the protection to challenge a charge.
5. Don’t have the hotel call you a cab
If you want to save a few dollars, plan ahead and check if a ride-sharing service is going to be cheaper than a cab to the airport.
【1】What may the hotel do if you are late for the checkout?
A.Negotiate a potential price.
B.Call ahead and cancel the reservation.
C.Charge extra money.
D.Give the room to other customers.
【2】What should you do when the receptionist meets angry customers?
A.Spit at the assistant manager. B.Argue with the front desk.
C.Show understanding to the situation. D.Go much further away from it.
【3】Why is it a good idea to use a ride-sharing service to get to the airport?
A.It helps the cab save dollars.
B.It reduces the burden of the hotel.
C.It is easy to get a charge back.
D.It costs the customers less money.
