I felt that only when I managed 21 certain things could I finally be happy in my life. Most of the time I felt like a tortoise believing that being 22 and steady(稳步的) would win the race. At other times I would 23 like a rabbit trying different side roads at a dangerous 24 hoping to reach that banner a little faster. 25 ，I began to see that no matter how long I raced towards it，the banner was never any 26 .I finally decided to 27 and take a rest. It was then that I saw my 28 sitting beside me.It had been with me as I 29 hard to support my family，as I played with my children and heard their 30 and even when I was 31 with my wife at my side looking after me. It had been with me as I raced towards that stupid banner. I just didnt have the 32 to see it.There is an old Chinese proverb that says，“Tension is who you think you should be. 33 is who you are.” Perhaps we all should stop our race towards the 34 life we think we should have and 35 the life we have now. Happiness will never be found under some banner far away. It will be found 36 your own heart，soul and mind. It will be found when you 37 that others love you just as you do.Dont be a tortoise or a rabbit when it comes to your happiness. Be a playful puppy and carry your stick of 38 with you everywhere you go. 39 yourself out of the race and realize that when it comes to love and happiness，you are 40 there.21.

Movies, television shows, commercials, and magazines all make use of models and actors whose wonderful appearance will help sell their products. And make more money for the companies.As our country become crazy about reducing the obesity numbers, eating disorder statistics continue to increase due to the push for thinner people. Even children as young as primary school age have begun to worry about the numbers that appear on the scale. I agree obesity is a serious medical condition that can lead to many health problems, but many of us try to lose weight for appearance purposes rather than our health. It seems that “fat” has become a new “ugly”.Two weeks ago, 37-year-old Wisconsin television hostess Jennifer Livingston, who is 235 pounds, received an email from a local security guard named Kenneth Krause. In the email Krause attacked the mother of three, writing, “Your physical condition hasnt improved for many years. Surely you dont consider yourself a suitable example for this communitys young people, girls in particular.”Days later on live television, Livingston reacted to this email by responding, “The truth is that I am overweight. But to the person who wrote to me that email, do you think I dont know that? You know nothing about me but what you see on the outside. And I am much more than a number on the scale.”While Livingston is not denying her size, she does suffer from hypothyroidism, a hormone (荷尔蒙) disorder that makes it harder to lose weight. Krause doesnt know that Livingston has also been trying to change her diet and keep a regular exercise since the summer, and has already lost 8 pounds.What kind of people have we become when we criticize and attack other people we dont even know? Havent we realized by now that weight does not determine character, talent, or qualities?Today, it seems that a vast majority of people care more about how they look rather than what is inside. Negative attitudes towards heavier people can be seen worldwide because of the growing obesity problem. The truth is that every person is built differently; we all come in different shapes and sizes. That someone is heavier doesnt mean they eat large amounts of junk food and hang around all the day. Similarly, even though a person is thin, that doesnt mean they are necessarily healthy and fit.If you are reading this and you are fighting with your weight or your appearance, please recognize that you are beautiful and special in your own way. You are worth so much more than you realize, and even if I dont know you, I respect and support you. Beauty is not determined by size; it is determined by how we treat others and respect ourselves. Just as the talented film actress Kirstie Alley put it, “Theres a lot more to life than how fat or thin you are.” 41. From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that _.A. fat people are sure to suffer from eating disorder B. models will be out of work if they do not lose weightC. many people nowadays focus too much on appearanceD. children in primary schools care little about their weight.42. The writer mentioned the email written by Kenneth Krause in order to tell us _.A. some people still have negative attitudes towards fat peopleB. Kenneth Krause is an unfriendly person who likes attacking the fatC. we should make an effort to help the fat improve their physical conditionD. the fat can not act as a suitable example for the communitys young people43. What do we know about Jennifer Livingston according to the passage?A. She has been trying to keep a regular exercise all the time.B. She has already realized her physical condition.C. She is prevented from losing weight because of a kind of hormone.D. She is often attacked by a local security guard because of her shape.44. The article mainly tells us the message that_. A. the thin are usually healthier than the fatB. happiness lies first of all in healthC. health is more important than appearanceD. beauty means more than appearance45. In the writers opinion, _.A. “fat” has become a new “ugly”B. your size shows who you areC. the fat should be careful about losing weightD. fat people shouldnt lose weightBOver thousands of years, human beings have been learning about more and more about this world, and have figured out many ways to avoid risks and make our lives easier. Even in ancient times, we used fire to frighten away animals, built simple boats to cross waters, and armed ourselves with sharpening stones and sticks. Nowadays, with advanced technology and instrument, people know the world better than ever. Its surprising how much people already know about this world and how much weve changed our lives by using the knowledge we have.But if you think we know everything, thats wrong. I guess sometimes we have to accept the limitation on our understanding of the world. No matter how much were already known about the world, there are things that remain mysterious. I learned this from my pregnancy (妊娠) which ended in the 6th month, due to a placental abruption (胎盘早剥). I started to see my OB/GYN (产科医生) every month, taking vitamins regularly, doing all the lab tests to make sure we were expecting a healthy baby. All the results looked promising, and we thought we would have a healthy baby girl in January next year. Even in the week before placental abruption, when I was in hospital because of a sudden bleeding, doctors didnt believe there were any bad possibilities after reading my blood tests. Unfortunately it still happened. Later, I asked my doctor “So what caused this?” She said, “I dont know. We probably will never know.”After leaving the hospital, I sometimes do feel frustrated for what happened. But I already accept the fact that there are simply things that we do not know. No matter how well you plan and monitor your life there are uncertainties that can not be predicted and thus can not be avoided. We are only human beings.Her name was Janet. She came to the world in April, and left us 6 months later. Though we never had the chance of meeting her, she is always our beloved daughter.In the late May 2021, during our first OB visit, we saw a little heart beating happily inside its mother. We couldnt even tell that was a baby, but we knew the magic was happening.The first three months was a disaster, Janet showed her power by making her mama throw up every day. Daddy became the cook of the family, and spent hours learning new dishes to please his picky wife.In the 12th week, we saw her again during an OB screening. When the doctor tried to measure her, she suddenly waved her hand to us, as if saying “I know you are spying on me again.”Every regular OB check became our favorite experience, when we could hear her heart beating and knew she was enjoying herself. In the 18th week, one day when daddy was singing, she suddenly kicked her mama. We never felt so happy. Since then, she became more and more naughty, doing all sorts of exercise in her warm little house. We started to think about names, decorate her pink room, and shared the news with our friends. For young parents, there are always a lot to learn!Then it was the end of 25th week. A sudden bleeding terrified mama and daddy. After staying in the hospital for three days, things looked all right again, and Janet did not seem to be affected. However, the night after we went out of the hospital, a much worse contraction(痉挛) started which caused placental abruption. When we went back to the hospital, mama survived from an emergency operation, but Janets heart was no longer beating.Janet, thank you for all the joy you brought to us. We love you and we will miss you forever. Rest in peace!46.
