21、   Guilt is one of the most painful emotions that humans experience but also one of the most common .Nobody enjoys feeling guilty, but this emotion serves an important purpose: it alerts (使警觉)a person when he or she has done something wrong. This enables the person to compensate and work to heal relationships that were damaged by their actions. It can also motivate people to avoid making similar mistakes later.

Nevertheless, guilt can be destructive if it is not dealt with in the right way. It can cause people to avoid others because they are too embarrassed to apologize for their actions or inaction. Some try to avoid the pain of guilt by turning to other worse habits. Others try to cover up their guilt by blaming others or becoming angry.

What makes it more complicated is that sometimes people feel guilty about things that happen out of their control. One example of this is survivors’ guilt. People who survive a disaster feel guilty because they escaped death when others didn’t. Otherwise, some people may experience false guilt because of excessively high expectations for themselves that they cannot live up to.

The proper response to guilt depends on what kind of guilt you’re dealing with. For false guilt, it’s important to recognize that the guilt does not reflect an actual ethical (道德的)failure. For example, some false guilt focuses on failing to meet expectations you had for yourself. In this case, it’s important to remind yourself that you have limits. No one is perfect, and no one can do everything, so admitting your limits in actually a sign of humility(谦虚).

It’s possible that you feel guilty because you actually did something wrong-or didn’t do something you should have. If so, don’t try to hide it. Apologize and ask for forgiveness. Learn from your mistakes, and try to avoid committing the same acts again. Making up with the person you hurt should make your guilty feelings fade.

Guilt is painful, but it can serve a good purpose if you use it well.

【1】What is the function of feeling guilty according to Paragraph 1?

A.It can prevent people from making mistakes.

B.It can perfect the damaged relationship.

C.It can warn people of their mistakes.

D.It can make people refreshed.

【2】Why do some people experience false guilt?

A.The situation was beyond their reach. B.They want to prove their kindness.

C.They can’t face up to a disaster. D.They are ethical failures.

【3】When you do something wrong, you should .

A.remind yourself that no one is perfect B.cover up your guilt in your mind

C.make your guilty feeling fade naturally D.admit your mistake and make up for

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A.A Common Painful Emotion B.The Positive Use of Guilt

C.Different Kinds of Guilt D.How to Deal with False Guilt

22、   Leith Anderson, a minister, shared this experience: As a boy, he grew up outside New York City and was a fan of the old Brooklyn Dodgers. One day his father took him to a World Series game between the Dodgers and the Yankees. He was so excited, knowing the Dodgers would defeat the Yankees. Unfortunately, the Dodgers never got on base, and his excitement was shattered.

Years later, he met a famous player. Leith told him about the first major league game he had attended, saying, "It was such a disappointment. "The man said, "Were you there? Were you at the game when Don Larsen played the first perfect game in all of World Series history?" Leith replied, "Yeah, but we lost. "He then realized that he had been so caught in his team's defeat that he missed out on the fact that he was a witness to a far greater page of history.

How often the same thing happens to us. We get so caught in the "defeat" when things don't turn out as we want them to. So we are depressed because an illness remains, or when people don't treat us the way we think they should. But we are often so blinded by the pain and disappointment of our "defeat" that we fail to appreciate the fact that we might be witnesses to something far greater in our lives.

Do you remember it when Paul was in prison? He wrote to the Philippian Christians, ＂But I want you to know that the things happening to me have actually turned out the gospel (福音)｡＂While most of us would have focused on the "defeat", Paul was able to see it differently. It's not an easy thing to do. It's never easy to view things from a positive perspective. But it is learning how to have a positive view that helps us know joy that happens in our lives.

【1】What does the underlined word "shattered" in paragraph 1 mean?

A.Shown. B.Hidden.

C.Extended. D.Destroyed.

【2】How did Leith react to what the player said?

A.He felt proud to have watched the game.

B.He felt regretful to recall the game.

C.He showed doubt about the player's opinion.

D.He learned something from the player's words.

【3】What does Leith's experience teach us to do?

A.Treat defeat positively.

B.Remember our defeat in life.

C.Struggle for what we want.

D.Know truths from others.

【4】Why is Paul's story mentioned in the text?

A.To help us know him.

B.To share his poor situation.

C.To offer us an example to follow.

D.To praise him for his great achievements.

23、   If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around. It's called Apple Day but in practice it's more like Apple Month. 【1】 But since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.

【2】 To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn't taste of anything special, it's still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat's Head, which is more of a curiosity than anything else.

There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. 【3】 But you'll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it's a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.

【4】 Therefore you can discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple themed fun and games.

Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园). 【5】 The National Fruit Collection at Brogdale is near Faversham in Kent.

A．The day itself is on October 21.

B．At the events, you can meet expert growers.

C．If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting one.

D．One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette.

E．You can plant fruit trees in an orchard after you have experience.

F．After visiting an expert, you can be introduced to an apple festival.

G．Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples.

24、Most of the time, the ground feels solid beneath our feet. That's comforting. But it's also misleading because there's actually a lot going on underground. Masses of land (called plates) slip, slide, and bump against each other, slowly changing the shape of continents and oceans over millions and billions of years.

Scientists know that Earth formed about 4. 5 billion years ago.  They also know that our planet was hot at first. As it cooled, its outermost layer, called the crust （地壳), eventually formed moving plates. Exactly when this shift happened, however, is an open question.

Now, an international group of researchers has an answer. They've found new evidence suggesting that Earth's crust started shifting at least 3.8 billion years ago. The new estimate is l. 3 billion years earlier than previous ones.

Not long before 3. 8 billion years ago,  lots of small planets were hitting Earth, keeping its crust in a hot, melting state. After the hard crust formed, much of it sank at various times into the planet's hot insides. There, it melted before returning to the surface.

In some places, however, the crust never sank. One of the oldest such places is in Greenland, in an area called the Isua supracrustal (上地壳) belt. The rocky crust there is between 3. 7 and 3. 8 billion years old. The belt was once part of the seafloor, but now it is exposed to air.

The researchers recently took a close look at the Isua supracrustal belt. They noticed long, parallel cracks（裂缝）in the rock that have been filled in with a type of volcanic rock.

To explain this structure, the scientists propose that tension in the crust caused the seafloor to crack open long ago. Hot, liquid rock oozed from deep inside Earth to fill the cracks. Finally, the whole area cooled, forming what we see today.

That explanation, plus chemical clues inside the rock, suggests that the Isua supracrustal belt was once part of plate under the ocean, beginning around 3.8 billion years ago.

“It's a fantastic case of solving a jigsaw puzzle（拼图）,”says one of the researchers. He notes that the puzzle was “a very difficult one because these rocks are all very old and have been badly ruined".

【1】The underlined phrase “oozed from" in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to________.

A. filled up gradually

B. washed away quickly

C. flew out of slowly

D. broke through suddenly

【2】What can we infer from the text?

A. The shapes of continents and oceans changed slowly.

B. The Earth's crust started shifting l.3 billion years ago.

C. The crust began to shift when the Earth was hot.

D. The hit from small planets made the Earth cool.

【3】What do scientists know about the past of the Isua supracrustal belt?

A. It was once covered by hot, liquid rock.

B. It remained under the deep sea.

C. It stayed hot and sinking.

D. It kept moving slowly.

【4】The text is mainly about________.

A. why the Earth cooled

B. how the Isua supracrustal belt formed

C. whether the ground beneath our feet is still

D. when Earth's crust began shifting

25、My two little boys were happily playing when I watched a passenger jet(客机) explode into one of the World Trade Center towers(世贸大厦) in New York City on the television.
