21、A man in Indonesia is walking backwards for 435 miles (700 kilometers). He’s making the trip to encourage the government and others to protect and rebuild Indonesia’s rainforests.
Medi Bastoni is 43 years old. He is the father of four children and lives in Dono, Indonesia, That’s about 12.5 miles (20 kilometers) from Mount Wilis, a beautiful mountain area that has had large areas of forests cut down in the past.
Indonesia is the largest country in the world formed by a group of islands. There are over 16, 000 islands in Indonesia, and most of them are covered with rainforests. Forests cover about 70% of the country. But on Java, where Mr Bastoni lives, there are more people, and far more forests have been cleared.
Some areas of Indonesia’s rainforests have been cut or burned. Mr Bastoni believes it’s important to protect- forests from being cut down and to restore them when they have been destroyed. Near his home, Mount Wilis is now being restored, but Mr Bastoni wants to make sure that this protection continues.
That’s why he came up with the idea of the 435-mile walk. He aims to walk from his home in Dono, across most of the island of Java to the country’s capital, Jakarta. There, he hopes to meet the country’s president, Joko Widodo.
Mr Bastoni hopes to arrive in Jakarta on August 17. It is the country’s independence day celebration. If he is able to meet Mr Widodo, he plans to ask him for the seed of a tree to plant at the bottom of Mount Wilis. The seed is meant as a symbol and a promise that the area will be protected.
And walking backwards is a symbol, too. Mr Bastoni wants Indonesians to look back at their past and think about how they got their independence.
But walking backwards is also a good way to get attention. Right now, Mr Bastoni’s backwards walk is pretty big news in Indonesia.
【1】What’s Medi Bastoni’s purpose of making the 435-mile trip?
A．To call on others to follow him.
B．To keep up the protection of forests.
C．To attract others’ attention and show himself.
D．To celebrate the country’s independence day.

22、I’ve long believed that positive living isn’t about being optimistic every minute of every day. That kind of permanently happy state can’t be the goal, because it’s impossible to achieve.
It turns out that psychological research finds true happiness comes from authentic positivity, and authentic positivity comes from emotional flexibility.
Being flexible emotionally means being open to the full range of emotional experiences, including the challenging ones like anger, disappointment and sadness. Emotional flexibility means being able to shift behaviors and mindsets to meet different situational needs, and adapting when circumstances change.
However, emotionally flexible people are not chameleons whose outlook changes based on which way the wind is blowing. Instead, emotional flexibility is a skill that helps people judge the complexities of daily life, and stick to their deeply held values.
I’ve learned a new word that I’d like to share with you: Eudaimonia. Eudaimonia is the opposite of hedonism, the idea that happiness comes from the constant pursuit of pleasure and avoidance of pain. Eudaimonia, by contrast, encourages us to pursue meaning and authenticity, growth and honest joy. Both are philosophical approaches to happiness, and recent psychological thought is leaning toward eudaimonia as a more sustainable, satisfying model.
Eudaimonia was first mentioned by Aristotle, who got the term from the Greek word “daimon,” which means “true nature.” To me, walking a positive path means accepting that we each have positive true nature and permanent goodness. What we learn from the concept of eudaimonia is that we are best equipped to realize this nature when we are emotionally honest and flexible.
【1】What is the author’s belief?
A．People can’t always be happy.
B．People should live alone.
C．People should pursue true achievements.
D．People can’t always achieve their goals.
【2】What do emotionally flexible people commit themselves to?
A．Their different needs.
B．Their strongly believed values.
C．The pursuit of hedonism.
D．Permanent happiness.
【3】How can people gain eudaimonia according to the author?
A．By keeping realistically optimistic.
B．By pursuing pleasure constantly.
C．By being honest to others.
D．By changing true nature.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．What’s the difference between eudaimonia and hedonism?
B．Why can’t people be happy all the time?
C．What is the importance of eudaimonia?
D．What should we do to stay positive?
