21、Should we focus on our goal, or on the process?
What happened to Brenda Martinez, a US Olympic runner, may provide us with the answer. She lost her balance in the 800m race and failed to qualify for the Olympics. Focusing on everything that would give her another chance, she quickly let go of what happened in the 800m race and got back to her routine. A week later, she won the third place in the 1500m race to qualify for the Olympics in Rio. Instead of attaching herself to the goal of making the Olympic team, she concentrated on the process.
Generally, overemphasizing goals based on ultimate outcomes often leads to risk-taking, unethical （不道德的）behavior and reduced motivation. We see this happen in the real world all the time: someone becomes driven by the external rewards and recognition that he hopes accomplishing his goal will bring, and, in the worst case, he'll go to any extreme to achieve it such as taking harmful diet pills to lose weight or using banned drugs in a competition. These are all predictable side effects of overemphasizing goals.
Another danger of only focusing on goals is giving up all the merits after completing them. For example, some marathon runners experience what's called the "post-race blues". Achieving their goal may cause them to drop the good habits that got them there. Dieters often experience this in what's called "yo-yo dieting" — gaining all the weight back while resuming their bad habits after they drop down to a desired weight.
However, focusing on the process will help you to achieve little victories on your way to achieving long-term goals and leave you with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, regardless of the ultimate outcome. It means breaking down a goal into little parts and concentrating on those parts. For Martinez, this meant not worrying about her bad luck in the 800m race, but rather ensuring she got in the right nutrition, sleep and workouts to give herself the best chance to run a good race in the 1500m race.
Therefore, after you set a goal, it's best to shift your focus from the goal itself to the process that gives you the best chance of achieving the goal, and to judge yourself based on how well you do in the process.

A．enhance the persuasion
B．persuade readers to accept his views
C．provide convincing evidence
D．inspire readers to reflect on the topic
【2】Brenda Martinez's example shows that________.
A．it is important to set big goals

A．Giving too much attention to goals can bring about harmful effects.
B．Post-race blues is sure to happen after a marathon race.
C．In order to achieve the goals people can adopt aggressive behavior.
D．It is normal to feel down after achieving the goal.
【4】According to the author, what benefits can we obtain by focusing on the process?
A．Avoiding failure during the process.
B．Gaining a sense of satisfaction by achieving small targets.
C．Reducing some unpredictable risk.
D．Ensuring enough sleep and good mood.
【5】In the passage, the author suggests that we should________.
A．ignore the bad effects of overemphasizing goals

22、Chemical farming is the most widespread way of farming. It is the conventional way in which large agricultural societies grow crops. 【1】 Organic farming, however, even though it may mean a greater cost of production and more work, has significant benefits on our health and the health of our planet.
Chemical farming has a negative impact on the environment. Pesticides are used to protect plants from various pests, diseases, and weeds. 【2】 Besides killing insects and weeds, pesticides can be poisonous to a great number of other organisms such as birds, fish, beneficial insects, and non-target plants. Another important issue is that the poisonous substances become airborne. They can drift away on distances up to a few miles, poisoning the air of nearby communities.
【3】 Studies have shown that pesticide remains can be found in a variety of products, such as water, wine, vegetables, fruit juices, or grains. When we eat or drink these products, our health is likely to be harmed.
Organic farming relies on natural processes, biodiversity, and man-made fertilizer rather than the use of chemicals. In opposition to the negative effects that conventional farming has on the environment and human health, organic farming is an agricultural production system that does good to the health of soils, ecosystems, and people. 【4】 Organically grown food is higher in nutrients and free of poisonous remains.
For the benefit of our health and our planet, we have to change our ways of farming. 【5】However, it is a better choice to build a better, healthier future for both our human communities and our environment.
A．Chemical farming does damage to our health in many ways.
B．The shift from chemical farming to organic farming may take time.
C．Organic farming has great potentials in agricultural in future farming.
D．However, pesticides can also pollute the soil, water, or other vegetation.
E．It has been practiced in many agricultural countries for many many years.
F．It may be the cheapest and easiest option but it surely isn’t the best choice.
G．It produces no environmental pollution and offers various benefits to health.
23、 Six years ago, Sam Shapiro’s family adopted a 15-year-old boy from Cite Soleil, Haiti. A few years later, in June 2015, Shapiro wanted to learn more about where his brother grew up, so he visited his brother’s hometown.
What Shapiro saw was a small city where 100 percent of the population lived in poverty. He saw homeless children with no access to education, activities or safe spaces to play. He also saw a run-down, abandoned basketball court.
Shapiro couldn’t fix everything. But he could do something.
“I thought athletics could be used to give kids opportunities for organized activities that could keep them off the streets,” said Shapiro.
A year after his first visit, Shapiro returned to Cite Soleil with his friend Jack Moe. The next month, Shapiro and Moe- then 16-year-old sophomores (大二学生) at the Blake School – formed a nonprofit, called “Sprint to Cite Soleil”, to benefit the city’s youth.
The core program of Sprint to Cite Soleil is basketball, but it also consists of nutrition and community-building to benefit children aged 5 to 18.
“Our mission originally was to provide a new basketball court,” said Moe. “But we soon realized that a lot of kids wanted to play basketball, and more than just a court was needed. We sent jerseys, basketballs, basketball pumps and shoes. Hundreds of kids showed up for a clinic.”
They soon hired 10 coaches and four cooks to prepare nutritious meals for the 160 boys and girls who train every Saturday and Sunday.
And they hired director Joseph Sadrack, a local native, whom Shapiro calls “trustworthy and right for the leadership position ...”
From the start, Shapiro, Moe and Sadrack agreed on how the program should develop.
“We are very much a partnership,” said Shapiro. “Personally, I’ve seen a lot of organizations trying to help in foreign countries. They have their own mindset and want to do things their way.”
“I’m not living there,” he continued. “I don’t know what they need. Before any decision is made, we ask Joseph, ‘What can we do?’ and, ‘What do they need?’”
Now sophomores in college - Shapiro at Wake Forest University in North Carolina and Moe at Stanford in California - they continue their work as co-presidents of the nonprofit.
Shapiro said it’s been a rewarding experience.
“I’m proud that, despite the somewhat of a language and cultural barrier, we’re able to communicate,” said Shapiro. “I’m proud that others believe in us and trust us. That’s what we’re most proud of. Being able to create it and maintain it.”
【1】Why did Shapiro go to Haiti?
A.To visit his brother.
B.To do a part-time job.
C.To help his family adopt a kid.
D.To learn about his brother’s hometown.
【2】What do we know about Sprint to Cite Soleil?
A.It is only run by two American boys.
B.It makes profits from the local government.
C.It stopped after Shapiro became a sophomore.
D.It provides resources for children and teens.
【3】What does Shapiro learn from the program?
A.The language barrier is a big problem.
B.It will be great for his future career.
C.It is difficult but gives him a good feeling.
D.It is too expensive but he will continue.
24、Postmates, an American delivery company, has built a robot, called Serve, which was designed to make short-distance deliveries in cities.
To know what's going on, Serve has a laser radar （激光雷达）sensor on top, in which spinning lasers let it detect objects around it and know how far away they are. Also, behind each artificial eye is a camera, with six more imaging devices spread around the robot. Inside it is another sensor that allows Postmates to know if there is a package in there.
“One of our key decisions early on was to rely heavily on the robot’s ability to see the environment,” says Ali Kashani, the vice president for robotics at Postmates. Since the sidewalk is “a very chaotic environment”，he points out, the robot needs to be able to take it all in and figure out what to do. This robot, and many like it, also must be able to signal their intentions to the pedestrians. For that，it has a number of approaches. One is using its eyes; another is a colorful light ring that goes around the top. “When it wants to make way for a pedestrian, it will use its eyes and look down，” he explains. It can also use the lights on the top as a turn signal，which is obvious, and also look left and right when it’s turning left and right.
Using eye movements and other silent signals is a good idea，” says Aaron Steinfeld, a professor on human-robot interaction （互动）.Serve is intended for sidewalks * and Steinfeld says that environment is challenging. People usually walk fast while staring at a smartphone. For a robot，that’s a lot. “We have active research on robot moving socially around walking people,” he says. “And it，s really tricky to do this well. ”
Postmates plans to use Serve in Los Angeles at first, and that its intended task is to move small objects over short distances”. The robot can travel 30 miles on one charge and is able to carry 50 pounds.
【1】What was Serve designed for?
A．Object detection.
B．Package transportation.
C．Environment protection.
D．Short-distance communication.
【2】What is challenging to Serve?
A．Moving objects.
B．Sending silent signals.
C．Sidewalk environment.
D．Pedestrian recognition.
【3】What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Calling other robots.
B．Signaling to the people nearby.
C．Making way for the pedestrians.
D．Turning on the colorful light ring.
【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To introduce a new robot.
B．To explain human-robot interaction.
C．To present different opinions on hi-tech.
D．To advertise an American delivery company.
