I looked at my beautiful Christmas tree and sighed. The New Year was a week old and my tree still stood in the corner of our room. T'd procrastinated（拖延）long enough.

I got up， went to the garage and dragged （拖拽）all the boxes into the room. I prepared the boxes and carefully placed the decorations of the tree in their protective packaging， pausing every few minutes to admire a favorite. “Hey， little Santa！”I held the Santa from my childhood， “Thanks for being my friend for almost fifty years.”He was a little old and torn but still gives me a flood of wonderful memories. “Until next year， my dear friend.”

A few hours after I started， the filled boxes were back in the garage. The room seemed so empty. It took me two days of work to assemble （組裝）and decorate my tree， but only a few hours to take it apart.

My tree is like a good marriage or a great friendship. They take a long time to assemble and decorate with memories， but can be torn down quickly. All it takes is an unkind word or a thoughtless act， and what once stood proudly in the glow of love comes falling down.

Every year I have to put my tree away， but not my marriage or friendships. I take great care of those. They get to glow in the corner of my life for as long as I live. I get to analyze my tree and find memories for a few weeks every year. I can do the same with the loves in my life every day. When I held the Santa， a flood of wonderful memories returned. The same happens when I hold my wife or see the smile of a friend across the room.

Take great care of your friendships and your marriage. Once they come down， they aren't as easy to put back together as a Christmas tree， if at all. Stand them in that special spot in the corner of your heart and admire their glow.

24. How did the author feel while he was packing up the Christmas tree？

A. Casual.B. Uncaring.C. Content.D. Unwilling.

25. To the author， a Christmas tree is similar to a good marriage in that both.

A. take time to build but fall apart easilyB. remind him of bittersweet memories

C. need to be admired for some timeD. get less attractive over the years

26. What is the author's advice on marriage and friendship？

A. Put them in the first place.B. Treat them with great care.

C. Take them as they come.D. Treasure them at all costs.

27. How does the author express his opinion about marriage and friendship？

A. By quoting.B. By comparing.C. By describing.D. By illustrating.

C

Whenever we're introduced to strangers， we make quick decisions without careful thought about them according to our first impressions. Are they attractive？ Or how much do they earn？

For most Brits， simply asking someone how much he or she is worth financially is considered very impolite. Thankfully， most people are kind enough to drop several hints（暗示）about their relative wealth or successful careers. They always post on social media about flying to a meeting for work. They're always wearing clothes with labels big enough to silently scream about how rich they are and how well they're doing.

It's a worrying trend， and I'm not immune to it. I've felt the warm happiness of knowing I earn more than somebody， and the baseless anger of knowing that I earn less than another. I've checked into places while I know full well that anybody reading it will get jealous （忌妒的）.

It seems as though self-worth is increasingly being tied to the careers we choose and the money we earn. A study in 2020， for example， found that nearly 17% of unemployed Americans were depressed compared to almost 6% of those who had a permanent job. We need to stop placing so much value on what a person earns. Don't get me wrong—being ambitious （有野心的）is not a fault， and achievements should always be celebrated. But when people use their success to judge you negatively， it becomes a problem.

If you want to know what you're really worth， here's a tip： It doesn't have anything to do with your bank account. It's about how many times you've been there for your friends. It's about how many times you've been kind to a stranger. It's every time you did something unselfish， or told your partner you loved him/her， or treated someone with respect no matter where he or she was in his or her own life.

28. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us most Brits ________.

A. are polite in some wayB. are wealthy and successful

C. tend to show off their wealth or careerD. love asking others about wealth

29. What does the underlined word “immune”in Paragraph 3 probably mean？

A. Used.B. Unaffected.C. Addicted.D. Attracted.

30. What does the study suggest in Paragraph 4？

A. Self-value isn't tied to wealth or career.B. Wealth and career reflect self-value.

C. Depression can lead to unemployment.D. Too much value is placed on career.

31. What is the author's purpose in writing the text？

A. To convince us what self-value lies in.

B. To explain why we show off our wealth.

C. To tell us how we deal with our wealth and career.

D. To help us know how to choose careers and earn money.

D

In life， we're often torn between the person we want to be and the person we ought to be. Yet， while many hesitate to take the risks of becoming their “ideal self”， a new study shows that people regret not running after their passion （熱情）.

Inspired by research published in the 1990s， psychologist Thomas Gilovich along with his colleague built upon his original study， which proved that regrets came from what people hadn't done， by looking into the content of people's most enduring（持久的）regrets grown from not living up to our “ideal self”， as opposed to not living according to our “ought self”.

Researchers began by explaining the difference between regrets concerning the “ideal self”and the “ought self”， before asking participants to list their regrets. Across the six different studies conducted as part of this project， participants said they experienced regrets concerning their ideal self more often. They also mentioned more ideal-self regrets than ought-self regrets when asked to list their regrets in life so far.

“Our work is the first to show that people's biggest life regrets more often involve failures to live up to their ideal self than their ought self，”the researchers said. They advise that people go on with caution， as the best way to live depends on how much weight you place on your ought self and your ideal self. If you care more about your ought self， you'll be wise to minimize your regrets by thinking twice before going ahead and seizing the moment.

Despite this research， however， knowing what you want and pursuing （追求）that passion are two different things. Maybe you'll be encouraged by a quote from Mark Twain， “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines， sail away from the safe harbor， and catch the trade winds in your sails.”

32. What did Thomas' original study prove？

A. People didn't take a risk in life.B. People lived up to their ideal self.

C. People regretted what they hadn't done.D. People regretted pursuing their passion.

33. How was the researchers' new study carried out？

A. By analyzing six different studies.B. By analyzing people's various responses.

C. By explaining the difference among regrets.D. By comparing ideal-self and ought-self regrets.

34. What did the researchers advise people to do？

A. Think twice about their ideal life.B. Care more about their own life.

C. Live according to their choice.D. Look back now and then.

35. Mark Twain's words suggests everyone should ________.

A. stop themselves from getting disappointedB. have the courage to pursue their goals

C. make full use of their surroundingsD. live up to their ought self

Everybody yawns-from unborn babies to great-grandparents. But why， exactly， do we yawn？ 36________

One theory is that when we are bored or tired， we just don't breathe as deeply as we usually do. 37________ Therefore， yawning helps us bring more oxygen into the blood and move more carbon dioxide out of the blood.

Yawning， then， would be an involuntary reflex （反射動作）to help us control our oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. Sounds good， but other studies have shown that breathing more oxygen does not make us yawn less. 38________ Hmmm. Now what？

39________ Stretching （伸展）and yawning may be a way to flex （活動）muscles and joints， increase heart rate， and feel more awake.

Other people believe that yawning is a protective reflex to redistribute the oil-like substance called surfactant that helps keep lungs from drying up and caving in. So， if we didn't yawn， according to this theory， taking a deep breath would become harder and harder-and that would not be good！

But there is one idea about yawning that everyone knows to be true： 40________ If you yawn in class， you'll probably notice a few other people will start yawning， too. Even thinking about yawning can get you yawning. How many times have you yawned while reading this article？ We hope not many！

A. It seems to spread.

B. Yawning seems to be common.

C. Another theory is that yawning stretches the lung.

D. No one knows for sure， but there are many theories.

E. This theory indicates yawning， like a deep breath， helps us feel fresh.

F. Likewise， breathing more carbon dioxide does not increase yawning.

G. As this theory goes， our bodies take in less oxygen because our breathing has slowed.

It is known to all that we students of today has to fix our attention on our lessons， so we knew little of society. A holiday is the best time and the best chance to make up for that. Take a part-time job is a good form of social practice. That we have learned in books and in class can't have such an important effect on us what we have learned through personal practice. In social practice， we can surely make a progress in both knowledge or practical ability. Beside， when we take part-time jobs， we may get paid more or less to help their family. Thus， I will say senior school students should take part-time jobs in their holidays， if possibly.
