26、Have you ever noticed that the more you have the more you want? Let’s face it. Thinking our life is good enough doesn’t come naturally to many people. When we have high expectations of everything in life we will run into disappointment. Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction. Here are a few ideas to help you be happier with what you have and who you are.
Focus on what you are thankful for. Most people want things to be better than they are, or when things are going well, we forget to appreciate what we have. Learn to reflect（反映）on how much better things are than they could be. Focus on what you are thankful for. Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now.
When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made, it can realty poison our well-being. Many people regret something they can no longer change, which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner. What happened in the past is done and gone, so work to stay present and be mindful of the current （目前的）moment to find more joy and fulfillment（满足）.
When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life we are likely to be less satisfied. Social comparisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others, but they also hold our perspective（观点）in a discontented position. Compare yourself less with others so you can be satisfied more.
When you are focused on your big ambitions（抱负）and future goals you might elide the daily pleasures that surround you. Learn to slow down and absorb the wonder and beauty around you. Stay present and focus on the task you’re doing at the moment. Don’t let the life pass you by because you’re always on the go and distracted（分心）by ambition.
Practice looking at life through the lens of contentment（满意）and it will become more natural.
【1】How can we live with contentment?
A. To change our lifestyle.
B. To have a motivation in life.
C. To give less attention to what we are grateful for.
D. To realize the difference between needs and desires.
【2】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. Make wise decisions. B. Know the present situation
C. Let go of regrets. D. Remember the past.
【3】The underlined word “elide”（in Paragraph 5）probably means “ ”.
A. enjoy B. change
C. invent D. neglect
【4】What should you do to put yourself in a good mood?
A. Make time for simple pleasures. B. Learn from successful people.
C. Focus on your future goals. D. Create chance to learn more.
27、If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.
Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to(料理), and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.
The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card(住宿登记卡) to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.
The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate(价钱). From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly(相应地).
With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.
In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?
【1】 While taking a taxi in Finland, _____.
A. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driver
B. a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi ride
C. a passenger can never be refused by the taxi driver wherever he wants to go
D. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration (证明) before leaving without paying
【2】 We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland ________.
A. are mostly poorly managed
B. provide meals for any diners
C. provide free wine and charge for food
D. provide meal for only those who live in the hotels
【3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.
B. The workers are always honest with their working hours.
C. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.
D. The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.
【4】The word “those” in the last but one paragraph probably refers to _____.
A. people who are dishonest
B. people who often have meals in big hotels
C. people who often take taxis
D. people who are worthy of trust
28、You drive down the highway with your family or friends in the car,camping equipment and spare clothes in the back.Your windows are down and the wind is hitting you in the face.These are the makings of a classic US road trip.
Road trips are quite common in the country,especially during the Thanks-giving holiday,which is the busiest travel time of the year in the country for families and friends who want to get together.
And for students,going on a road trip is traditional after graduating from high school or college with their schoolmates.It usually involves traveling great distances across the US and camping out whenever possible. Destinations are different depending on where in the country someone is located.But they all show the same kind of adventure.Popular spots to travel to include Yellowstone National Park,the Grand Canon.
However,the most famous of all road trip journey is travelling across the US on Route 66.Route 66 begins in Chicago and ends in Los Angeles.The route goes past many of the lesser-known states.However,it's the bizarre（稀奇古怪的）and wonderful small attractions that draw many road trippers to them.The attractions one sees on these trips are quite strange and very difficult to explain to non-American.They are filled with gas stations that still look like they did back in the 1950s and small restaurants known as "mom and pop restaurants" where you can eat a greasy cheeseburger with a delicious milkshake.Route 66 is also filled with quite unusual,but still fascinating wonders.
Deep down,US road trips show the spirit of freedom and openness.The idea is that if you have a car,you have freedom to escape,to discover,to find yourself,to lose yourself.It's a powerful call,one that is part of the US' identity and culture.It is a must-do for anyone who plans to spend time in the US to see the country and all of its wonders.An old saying—"It's not the destination,it's the journey"—best explains what the experience of a road trip truly offers.
【1】The first paragraph is designed to .
A. present the topic B. list some facts
C. raise a question D. give an example
【2】What attracts US road trippers most on Route 66?
A. Lesser-known states.
B. Mom and pop restaurants.
C. Gas stations and delicious foods.
D. Strange attractions and fantastic wonders.
【3】What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce US road trips.
B. To spread American culture.
C. To stress the importance of a road trip.
D. To attract US road trippers to Route 66.
29、Composer George Lam has always liked writing music inspired by places.
“There are all these places in Chinatown that are both hidden and meaningful,” he says, stepping out of the way of passers-by while leading a tour of the neighborhood. “To uncover some of those hidden things in a city walk that you might not ordinarily notice—I wondered, is there a piece in that?”
It turns out that there’s not just a piece, but a whole app. Lam interviewed five Chinese Americans from around the country, asking them about their experiences in Chinatown, plus questions about their ancestors, their families and their memories. He then set the answers to music, the instruments drawing attention to each person’s distinct pattern of speech.
Lam created the app Family Association. He calls the piece—the free app—Family Association, after the important folk groups that line the streets of the neighborhood. Chinese family associations have been a bridge between new immigrants and more established ones since the late 1800s. In Chinatowns across the country, they’re a place to find resources or an apartment, talk business or politics, maybe get a COVID shot. But they’re also a place to socialize with people who share similar experiences.
Five of the neighborhood’s associations are anchors(锚点) for the app. Visitors use the build-in map to see locations of the associations. As they walk closer to one of the family association buildings, the focus is on one of the five oral history participants, telling their stories. These stories aren’t about the family associations; instead they’re about the Chinese-American experience and how they’ve felt supported by Chinatown.
But Lam thinks of the app itself as a kind of virtual family association, connecting these Chinese-American voices with each other, even if they’ve never met. And he hopes to connect with visitors, too—at the end of the soundwalk, users are given a chance to record their own memories.
【1】How did Lam deal with the interviewees’ answers?
A．By setting them apart.
B．By organizing them in order.
C．By adding music to them.
D．By spreading them nationwide.
【2】What are the participants’ stories about?
A．When they came to Chinatowns.
B．What they experienced as Chinese Americans.
C．How they’ve felt supported from China.
D．Why they chose to stay in Chinatowns.
【3】What can we know from paragraph 4?
A．Chinatown plays a vital role in Chinese Americans.
B．Lam named his app after the street of the neighbourhood.
C．All Chinese Americans lived in Chinatowns when firstly reaching America.
D．Chinese family associations have been a bridge of immigrants since 1800.
【4】What is Lam’s expectation?
A．To promote his new app.
B．To connect with Chinese cities.
C．To record his own memories.
D．To associate with visitors.
