21、How do you get yourself to take action now? Here are some powerful suggestions.
Focus intensely on the positive things that your actions will accomplish. 【1】 Whether it's something you're seeking to accomplish, or something you're seeking to be rid of. picture exactly how your life will be after the work is done. The more intensely you can imagine it, the better.
【2】 The only real reason you have for avoiding action is because you associate some kind of pain or discomfort with it. Therefore, it helps to associate something even more painful with not taking action. Instead of focusing on the relatively minor pain of taking action, focus instead on the major pain of not taking action.
【3】 Think of all the reasons you can come up with to not take action, and then destroy all those reasons with a single word —"But." Simply state the excuse, put the word "but" after it, and then finish the sentence. For example, “I’ve never done this before, BUT I can learn." Stick the word "but" in there, and challenge yourself to finish the sentence.
Take the first small step. Don't even concern yourself with committing to the whole project or course of action. Just do something very easy and very small. The point is to find a little momentum（动力）【4】 Then climb aboard the momentum train, and let it help you keep the effort going.
Make it fun. Realize that just about anything can be fun if you'll think of it as fun and enjoyable. Find a way to make something fun, and not only will you want to do it; you'll also be better at it. 【5】
A．You always choose what to do,
B．Lay all your excuses out on the table and deal with them.
C．In your mind, picture in great detail what your actions will bring you.
D．Whatever you must do to achieve success, find a way to enjoy it.
E．Focus on the negative things that will happen if you don't take action.
F．Getting started with your biggest task or most difficult action may seem too much.
G．Once you take that small action, let yourself fully enjoy how great it feels.
22、 The okapi is a mammal living above the equator in one of the most biodiverse areas in central Africa. The animal was unknown to the western world until the beginning of the 20th century, and is often described as half-zebra, half-giraffe, as if it were a mixed-breed creature from a Greek legend. Yes its image is prevalent in the Democratic Republic of Congo-the only country in the world where it is found living in the world. The okapi is to Congo what the giant panda is to China or the kangaroo to Australia.
Although the okapi has striped markings resembling those of zebras’, it is most closely related to the giraffe. It has a long neck, and large, flexible ears. The face and throat are greyish white. The coat is a chocolate to reddish brown, much in contrast with the white horizontal stripes and rings on the legs and white ankles. Overall, the okapi can be easily distinguished form its nearest relative. It is much smaller (about the size of a horse) and shares more external similarities with the deer than with the giraffe. While both sexes possess horns in the giraffe, only males bear horns in the okapi.
The West got its first whiff of the okapi in 1890 when Welsh Journalist Henry Morton Stanley had puzzled over a strange “African donkey” in his book. Other Europeans in Africa had also heard of an animal that they came to call the “African unicorn.” Explorers may have seen the fleeting view of the striped backside as the animal fled through the bushes, leading to speculation that the okapi was some sort of rainforest zebra. Some even believed that the okapi was a new species of zebra. It was only later, when okapi skeleton was analyzed, that naturalists realized they had a giraffe on their hands.
In 1987, the Okapi Wildlife Reserve was established in eastern Congo to protect this rare mammal. But decades of political turbulence has seen much of the Congo’s natural resources spin out of the government’s control, and okapi numbers have fallen by 50 percent since 1995. Today, only 10,000 remain.
【1】Which of the following is a picture of an okapi?
A.
B.
C.
D.
【2】Which of the following descriptions is true about the okapi?
A.It is an important symbol of Congo.
B.It has been well protected since 1987.
C.It is a mystical creature from a Greek legend
D.It is more closely related to the zebra than the giraffe.
【3】What does the underlined word“whiff”most likely mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Firm belief. B.Kind intention.
C.Strong dislike. D.Slight trace.
【4】What can be inferred about Henry Morton Stanley?
A.He was the first Europeans to analyze okapi skeleton.
B.He had found many new species of animals in Africa.
C.He did not know the“African donkey"in his book was the okapi.
D.He had seen the backside of an okapi dashing through the bushes.
23、 The International Day of Happiness, March 20th, is a United Nations project which has a serious purpose. The UN thinks happiness will only be for everyone when the people of the world are equal.
On this date, the centre of the sun is directly above the Earth’s equator, which is called an equinox (春分）. On the equinox, day and night last for almost equal time all over the Earth. The equinox is felt by everyone on the planet, which matches perfectly with the idea behind the Day of Happiness. Since 2013, the Day of Happiness has been celebrated in all 193 United Nations member states. The United Nations invites each person of any age to join in celebration of the International Day of Happiness.
The idea goes back to 1972, when the King of Bhutan, Jigme Singye Wangchuck, said that they should measure a country’s progress by its happiness and not just how much it produces or how much money it makes. He called it Gross National Happiness (GNH). Again, it is more than just a nice idea. Bhutan developed a system to measure happiness based on things like people’s psychological health, their general health, how they spend their time, where they live, their education and their environment. People in Bhutan answer about 300 questions, and the results are compared every year to measure progress. The government uses the results and the ideas behind GNH to make decisions for the country.
In 2011,a UN adviser called Jayme Illien suggested the idea of an international day to increase happiness. His plan was accepted by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in 2012. Jayme was born in Calcutta, India, and he became an orphan when he was a child. He was adopted by an American nurse, Anna Belle Illien. She travelled the world to help orphans and she took Jayme with her. He saw children like him, but who were not as lucky as him because they were often escaping wars or they were very poor. He wanted to do something about it, so he worked in the areas of children’s and human rights.
The UN measures and compares the happiness of different countries in the World Happiness Report. It bases its report on social, economic and environmental well-being. The UN also sets goals for countries to achieve to increase happiness because it says happiness is a basic human right. Happiness should not be something people have because they are lucky to live in a place where they have basic things like peace, education and access to healthcare.
【1】What do we know about the Day of Happiness?
A．People all over the world celebrate it.
B．It’s a day to make people equal and happy.
C．It’s on the same day when the equinox happens for everyone.
D．Different countries celebrate the Day of Happiness on different dates.
【2】What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．How happiness is measured in Bhuta.
B．What happiness means to people in Bhutan.
C．How the idea of the Day of Happiness started.
D．When people began to celebrate the Day of Happiness.
【3】What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A．Jayme Illien’s childhood experience influenced his choice of work.
B．UN thinks happiness depends largely on basic things people have.
C．UN has followed exactly the work of Bhutan to measure happiness.
D．Jayme Illien proposed the idea of the International Day of Happiness.
【4】In which section of a magazine may this text appear?
A．Entertainment.
B．Culture.
C．Science.
D．Health.
24、 The story of a voyage bearing witness to plastic pollution in the oceans. Junk Raft, based on facts, is an exciting book. Science educator and researcher Marcus Eriksen's navigational feat(航海壮举）is holding readers’ attention and interest — 88 days crossing some 4,000 kilometers of open ocean, on a raft(筏子) made of 15.000 plastic bottles wrapped in fishing nets. But it is more. Two equally fascinating story lines are made up through the written records of a series of events: Eriksen’s evolution from soldier to research director of the environmental non-profit 5 Gyres Institute, and the journey we all need to take towards a more sustainable use of plastics.
Around 15% of all the liner in our oceans is plastic, and a calculated 5 million tons of plastic waste enter the seas annually. Unavoidably, it is now present at the sea surface and on shorelines, in Arctic seas and on the sea bed at depths of 3,500 metres. Around 700 sea species are known to come into contact with pieces of waste plastic material and can be harmed or killed by taking in it or becoming twisted and caught in it.
This environmental challenge has attracted increasing scientific, media and societal attention in recent years, yet few accounts have conveyed the wider picture accessibly Junk Raft does just this while exposing our frustratingly slow progress on an issue of major importance to fisheries, tourism and, finally, the health of the world's oceans.
Eriksen lists the issues associated with the accumulation of sea plastic: the causes, consequences and potential solutions. Our single use culture is the main offender. For more than 60 years, society and industry have been producing more and more throwaway items particularly packaging. Eriksen takes the crisis into consideration together with a timeline of scientific discovery and advancement since the 1970s. Eriksen believes that the troubles of industry and policy involvement is because people lack correct consciousness of the problem.
We are brought back to the realities of life aboard the raft, with Eriksen's fellow sailor Joel Paschal. This is both fascinating and eventful, from their blow, occasionally very dangerous progress to the moments when it seems the raft will break up into pieces, littering the ocean with the waste material, Eriksen is trying so hard to fight against.
Junk Raft is filled with adventure, romance, a sense of optimism and important truths that will be needed by the thousands of groups. It serves as a reflection of the choices and journeys that each of us makes and helps us understand how plastic in the oceans is closely connected with the future of human life.
