2．You can't accomplish great things without taking great risks.If you don't take risks you will have a lot harder time accomplishing what you want in life.__24__ They're the ones who are willing to put everything on the line and fail for something they believe in.And they treat each failure as an opportunity to grow and get better.

5．Sometimes bad things happen to good people.__27__ There's a randomness to how the world works that's really hard to understand.We see evidence of this every day, and it can really make you question the future of mankind.How you choose to view the world is up to you.Just remember, the truth, however harsh, will set you free.

“Compared with poems by other poetesses in China, hers stand out like a killer among groups of ladies，” Liu Nian, editor of the Chinese literary journal Poetry, said about Yu Xiuhua's works.“She is the ‘poetess with cerebral palsy (大脑麻痹症)’ and ‘China's Emily Dickinson’，” he said.
And her blog, previously with less than 200 followers, has now climbed to over 5，000 followers, with more than 400，000 hits.Her fans are not shy of expressing their love of her works.One left her a message：“Your poems moved me.It's been a long while since I tasted my tears.” Another wrote：“Your poems made me realize that the poetry is still alive.”
Putting her feelings into words has always worked for Yu, but she does not intend to teach.“When I'm not happy, I write it down, and the words are basically an expression of my mood at that particular moment.I do not write in order to show something，” says Yu in an interview with People's Daily Online.
Yu shakes her head when she talks, and her speech stutters(结巴)sometimes.The habit also shows in her walk, as she stumbles(蹒跚) to move across the room.When she types, she presses the keyboard the hard way with her finger.
When she was told she was compared to the famous American poet Emily Dickinson, she said she didn't know who that was.In fact, the only thing the two have in common is probably their love of reading.Often she will pull a chair in the yard to read in the daylight, or sit in her simply equipped bedroom by a plain wooden table, with a bulb lighting from the ceiling.
Her son, a student at the university in Wuhan, says his mother has a peaceful heart, yet she always prefers to show her tough side.Showing weakness to the world has never been on Yu's list.
21．What does Liu Nian think about Yu Xiuhua's poems?
A．They are loved by ladies. B．He doesn't like them at all.
C．They are difficult to understand.D．He thinks highly of them.
答案 D [推理判断题。根据短文第一段Liu Nian对Yu Xiuhua的评价可知，Liu Nian把Yu Xiuhua比喻为中国的Emily Dickinson，由此可以推知，Liu Nian对Yu Xiuhua的作品

A．Yu Xiuhua's poems are becoming more and more popular with the readers
B．Yu Xiuhua has written a lot of poems especially for people with cerebral palsy
C．most of Yu Xiuhua's poems show her deep sympathy for unfortunate people
D．the unlucky life experiences of Yu Xiuhua have moved more and more people
答案 A [推理判断题。根据第二段第一句has now climbed to over 5，000 followers, with more than 400，000 hits可以推断，Yu Xiuhua的诗歌作品越来越受到读者的喜爱。故选A。]
23．For what purpose does Yu Xiuhua write poems?
A．To show something.B．To become famous.
C．To express her mood.D．To make some money.
答案 C [细节理解题。根据短文第三段Putting her feelings into words has always worked for Yu以及and the words are basically an expression of my mood可知，Yu Xiuhua写诗的目的是表达她的情感。]
24．What do you know about Yu Xiuhua from the passage?
A．She lives a rich and peaceful life.
B．She likes reading very much.
C．She is crazy about writing poems.

Things To Remember If You Want To Be Truly Happy
Never dwell on the past.
Your past is just a story.__29__ Everyone has a past—often full of pain, disappointment, missed opportunities, and unfulfilled expectations.No matter what your past looks like, it's just a story—so don't let it influence you.
Never focus on what's missing; look at what you actually have.
__30__ You could waste hours counting the things you would like to improve, which would only take you away from appreciating your real life.Gratitude puts situations into perspective and rewires your mind toward a positive direction.
Never underestimate quality time with yourself.
Don't confuse happiness with excitement; a lasting joy of life grows when your mind is in peace.__31__ Regular meditation, sport, contact with nature, and quality (offline) time spent reading will help you reconnect with yourself and hear your intuition again.
__32__
We are all different, and there is no perfect direction or path to our personal evolution.The whole point is to become the best version of YOU, and never stop taking lessons from your own life experiences.
__33__
Your time and life power are limited, so spend them wisely and target your energy towards something meaningful.Finding a purpose helps you live a bigger life.
Never be too harsh on yourself.
