21、I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way.
Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting angry, but then it hit me: I started noticing his answers were much quicker and right when he stood up. Could he concentrate better while standing up?
This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I grew up to believe that a quiet child was more likely to succeed. This child would have the ability to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life. Kids that were active and loud would only be losers.
Now people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA, and all they can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to guide them and help them find their way.
I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Clearly, he is concentrating, just in his own way and not mine. We need to accept our kids, and their ways of doing things. There is nothing sweeter than seeing our children being themselves. It makes us happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live a happy life.

22、Passive readers read words, but active readers read ideas. A passive reader’s goal is to get finished.【1】Here are some tips to help you become more active readers.
● Start by identifying your purpose.
Before you start, think about why you're reading in the first place.【2】Keeping up on industry news? Learning about a software update? Recognizing your intention helps you to stay on track.
●【3】
While you read, think about the material and ask yourself questions. For example, how does this relate to the author’s standpoint? Is the author’s reasoning effective?
Note down your thoughts about each chapter you’ve finished. Imagine a stranger who’s never read the book will be borrowing your notes. How would you communicate the most important points?
● Make mental links.
【4】You need time to make mental links to consider how each concept or idea relates to your current mental library. These links make it easier to recall what you’ve read.
For example, if you’re reading a book about creative problem-solving, you’d better compare the methods with ideas gained from another author. This process of linking and analyzing helps to understand the new information.
● Reflect and make a summary.
Once you finish a book, give yourself time to reflect. You can even write a three-sentence summary of what you’ve learned and come back to it later.【5】
Robert Greene, author of The 3 Secrets That Help Me Write and Think, said, “After I’ve done reading I will often put it aside for up to a week and think deeply about the lessons and key stories that could be used for my book project. I then go back and put these important sections on notecards.”
A．Explore the material.
B．Read at the right level.
C．Are you preparing for a meeting?
D．Are you enjoying your English class?
E．Here's where speed reading is bad for you.
F．An active reader’s goal is to learn something.
G．This forces you to think back to the most important points.
23、 Ronald Reagan ever said, “It’s true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure, why take the chance?” To some extent, extra effort seems to be self-defeating. Studies suggest that, after 50 hours a week, employee productivity falls sharply.
But that doesn’t stop some managers from demanding that workers stay chained to their desk for long periods. Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, recently praised the “996” model, where employees work from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., 6 days a week, as a “huge blessing”. Apparently, presenteeism (出勤主义) is the curse of the modern office worker.
There will be days when you do not have much to do: perhaps because you are waiting for someone else in a different department, or a different company, to respond to a request. As the clock ticks past 5 pm, there may be no purpose in staying at your desk. But you can see your boss hard at work and, more importantly, they can see you. So you make an effort to look busy.
Some of this may be a self-continuing cycle. If bosses do not like to go home before their employees, and employees fear leaving before their bosses, everyone is trapped. Staff may feel that they will not get a pay rise, or a promotion, if they are not seen to be putting in maximum effort. This is easily confused with long hours. Managers, who are often no good at judging employees’ performance, use time in the office as a measure. The consequence is often wasted effort. We pretend to work and managers pretend to believe us. Rather than work hard, you try to make bosses think that you are. Leaving a jacket on your office chair, walking around purposefully with a notebook and sending out emails at odd hours are three of the best-known tricks. After a while this can result in collective self-delusion that this pretence is actual work.
But presenteeism has more serious consequences. It is perhaps most common in Japan, where people attend the office even when they are in discomfort. In doing so, they are doing neither themselves nor their employers any favours. As well as reducing productivity, this can increase medical expenses for the employer. According to a study in the Journal of Occupation and Environmental Medicine, these costs can be six times higher for employers than the costs of absenteeism among workers. Those workers were more likely to experience greater pain and to suffer from depression.
In the evolution of humanity, presenteeism is a recent phenomenon. In the industrial era, workers were paid not for their output but for their time, and were required to clock in and out. But modern machinery like smartphones and laptops is portable. Turning an office into a prison, with prisoners allowed home for the evenings, does nothing for the creativity that is increasingly demanded of office workers as routine tasks are automated. To be productive you need presence of mind, not being present in the flesh.
【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?
A. Employees often have to work extra hours.
B. Extra effort improves employees’ productivity.
C. “996” model is well received around the world.
D. Both bosses and employees are devoted to their jobs.
【2】What does the underlined “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Hoping to get a pay rise. B. Going home after the boss.
C. Putting in maximum effort. D. Judging employees’ performance.
【3】Which of the following is one the results of long-time presenteeism?
A. Reducing medical costs of employees.
B. Making employees more hard-working.
C. Increasing the competition among employees.
D. Worsening employees’ physical and mental condition.
【4】What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Employees should be treated as prisoners.
B. Productivity can’t be measured by presenteeism now.
C. Office tasks usually can’t be carried out automatically.
D. Office workers should be allowed to be absent-minded.
24、 Some people would go through anything just to achieve their dream. Kasia Siwosz is proof.
Born in Poland, Siwosz began playing tennis at seven years old and developed the skills that helped her earn a top-50 ranking among the ITF Junior division (国际网球联会青少年赛). Siwosz wanted to do more with her life than just play tennis, which led her to seek chances that would also allow her to obtain a top education. “There’s no collegiate (大学的) sports in Poland and no culture of sports and academic study there. You can only do one, not both,” Siwosz said.
Her desire to have a quality education led her to America to follow her dream. While Siwosz was talented enough to begin her collegiate tennis career, she could only attend community college because she missed the deadline to apply to four-year schools, mainly due to misinformation provided in her home country of Poland.
When she had earned all her credits and was able to transfer, Siwosz made the decision to attend Baylor in Texas. Her friends from Poland put in a good word for the university, saying that it was a good fit because there were many international players at Baylor. “I thought it would be a good idea, but it really wasn’t what I thought it would be,” Siwosz said. “I wasn’t happy at Baylor. The level of tennis was high, but the academic standards were no match and I just wanted more.”
After one year at Baylor, Siwosz’s luck finally began to change when she made the decision to transfer to Berkeley, which was due in large part to Lee, a former Berkeley student. Lee, who is a keen tennis player himself, met Siwosz four years ago in Texas. “I knew she was unhappy there,” he said. “I saw the opportunity for her to come here.” Siwosz visited Lee in Berkeley. “I ended up loving this place and this school,” Siwosz said. “I came here a lot over the summer, I gave it a shot and I ended up with a Berkeley education and a spot on one of the best college tennis teams in the country.”
【1】Why did Siwosz want to leave her homeland for America?
A.Poland had no culture of sports.
B.Berkeley had always been her dream university.
C.She wanted to play tennis and have a good education.
D.She wanted to improve her tennis skills and get a higher ranking.
【2】Why didn’t Siwosz take Baylor as her first choice when she first arrived in America?
A.The level of tennis in Baylor was not high.
B.It was too late for her to apply to a school like Baylor.
C.Her home country of Poland forbade her to Baylor.
D.Baylor was not suitable for international students.
【3】How did Siwosz feel in Berkeley?
A.She was unhappy there.
B.She had difficulty in keep up with others.
C.She enjoyed studying there.
D.She regretted going there.
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.How Siwosz realized her dream.
B.How Siwosz left Poland.
C.How Siwosz became a tennis player.
D.How Siwosz transferred from Baylor to Berkeley.

A doctor said, “To their ________, the two girls take fast action which is called ‘a chain of survival’, which can save the ________ of a patient in a dangerous situation.”
“What the two girls did was quite ________,” said another doctor. “They jumped into action to try to save a(n) ________, and they didn’t give up until that task was ________.” But doctors didn’t get the girls’ names at that time, so they launched a(n) ________ to the public to find them.
