【分析】
这是一篇议论文。文章中对于如今一些学生认为书法不像以前那么重要，作者表达了自己对中文书法的看法。作者认为汉字显示了对事物的态度。汉字是非常美丽且丰富了人们的文化。
【详解】1.考查形容词比较级。句意：一些学生认为书法不像以前那么重要了。根据than before可知用形容词的比较级less important。故将least改为less。
2.考查动词时态。句意：他们现在更喜欢键盘而不是笔，因为前者快捷、方便、清晰。根据句子结构分析，根据后面时间状语now可知，此句用一般现在时态，故将preferred改为prefer。
3.考查固定短语。句意：他们认为练习书法是浪费时间。根据句子结构分析，表示"浪费时间"，用固定短语a waste of time。故在waste前加a。
4.考查连词。句意：虽然电脑很方便，但手写在现代世界仍然扮演着重要的角色。Though computers are very convenient是让步状语从句，所以后面是主句，所以不需要连词 but，意义重复，故将but去掉。
5.考查副词。句意：此外，漂亮的书法会给别人留下好印象。根据句子结构分析，此处修饰句子beautiful handwriting makes a good impression on others，用Besides表示"除……之外还有；而且"，符合语境，beside“在……旁边”作介词。故将Beside改为Besides。
6.考查介词。句意同上。根据句子结构分析，make a good impression on sb“给某人留下深刻印象”为固定搭配，故将in改为on。
7.考查非谓语动词。句意：它显示了你对事物的态度。根据句子结构分析，短语attitude to doing/sth．中to是介词，表达"对……的态度"，符合题意，故将do改为doing或删除do。
8.考查名词的数。句意：汉字是非常美丽且丰富人们的文化。character为可数名词，根据句意可知，中国汉字应该用复数形式，结合后面are，此处用characters符合题意，故将character改为characters。
9.考查副词。句意：至于我，当我阅读一篇整洁的文章时，我会感到高兴和放松。根据句子结构分析，此处修饰后面形容词written用副词形式，neatly工整地，符合题意，故将neat改为neatly。
10.考查人称代词。根据句意可知，前面As for me可知，此处应该指我，I符合题意，故将you改为I。
三、 阅读理解
21. What is it?
KindSpring has created a series of 21-Day Challenges designed to help individuals and groups grow in values that help create positive change. Regardless of profession, age, culture or geography, when we try to cultivate（培养）certain values we create a ripple effect（连锁反应）that has the power to transform our lives and the world for the better. When we practice these values together over and over again, our efforts encourage and strengthen each other in remarkable ways. Each of our 21-Day Challenges focuses on a specific value — from kindness to mindfulness. Click here for more information.
How does it work?
A small daily commitment + a daily prompt（提示）+ a process for communication. Each 21-Day Challenge invites participants to carry out one small daily action related to the main theme. Every day for three weeks a unique idea is emailed out that serves as a prompt. Participants are encouraged to carry out the act and share stories of their experiences in both online and offline spaces. You can sign up to participate as an individual or you can “host” a challenge for a group you belong to. The challenges were developed for workplace, school/college and family environments, but are broadly usable. Any group is more than welcome to take them on. At the end of 21 days，you may continue the practice with your group, take on a new challenge，or even design your own. There is no charge for any of our services. All the challenges are offered as a gift. Five steps to host a challenge.
Why should we do it?
The 21-Day Challenges are all designed to fit the pace of modern day life. They are not very time-consuming（耗时的），and in most cases demand less than five minutes a day. Twenty-one days certainly can’t change everything, but it can begin a new way of being. You are invited to bring these practices to your company, school, community center, or family. Get started with joining a challenge or hosting one here. Let us know if you have questions—we，re delighted to help any way we can!

22. It was an autumn morning shortly after my husband and I moved into our first house. Our children were upstairs unpacking，and I was looking out of the window at my father moving around mysteriously on the front lawn. “What are you doing out there?” I called to him.
He looked up, smiling. “I’m making you a surprise.” I thought it could be just about anything. When we were kids, he always created something surprising for us. Today, however, Dad would say no more, and caught up in the busyness of our new life , I eventually forgot about his surprise.
Until one gloomy day the next March when I glanced out of the window，I saw a dot of blue across the yard. I headed outside for a closer look. They were crocuses (番红花）throughout the front lawn 一 blue, yellow and my favorite pink，with little faces moving up and down in the cold wind. I remembered the things Dad secretly planted last autumn. He knew how the darkness and dullness of winter always got me down. What could have been more perfectly timely to my needs?
My father’s crocuses bloomed each spring for the next five seasons, always bringing the same assurance: Hard times are almost over. Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon.
Then a spring came with the usual blooms but the next spring there were none. I missed the crocuses , so I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs (植物球茎). But I never did. He died suddenly one October day. My family were in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith.
On a spring afternoon four years later, I was driving back when I felt depressed. It was Dad’s birthday, and I found myself thinking about him. This was not unusual — my family often talked about him, re
