Beliefs form a big part of our lives.Successful people have always believed that they can be and will be successful in their lives,such as Michael Phelps.Many of us have seen Michael Phelps win 8 gold medals in a single Olympic Games.That has created a history for himself. Many people have admired his success and the first reaction in their mind will be,"Wow,how I wish I could be like him!"Have you ever wondered what brought him success?
In fact,anyone can achieve what they have wanted to achieve.It is about beliefs.Everyone is a born winner.It is this belief that drives an individual to be successful in his or her own field.All successful individuals have strong beliefs and it is one of the bases for their success.If we start to believe in ourselves,the things that we can achieve will definitely give us a pleasant surprise.
Other than having a strong belief,it is the attitude that drives the individual to create their own history.The devotion towards themselves and the drive must also be present.Imagine having a strong belief in oneself and having' a poor attitude towards life.Then how would that individual turn out to be?One's attitude comprises the drive,the devotion and the desire to achieve his goals.If one has strong beliefs about the goals that he can achieve and he displays good attitudes towards them,it would be no surprise to anyone that he will be able to achieve his goals.

In 2019,an unassuming package arrived at,my front door.Inside was a 2-by-4-foot scrapbook (剪贴簿)filled with precious candy wrappers over 70 years old,Why was it sent to me?I'm the founder of the Candy Wrapper Museum,my online"roadside attraction".
I was 15 years old when I started collecting,At that time many friends had cool collections like beer bottles.I wanted to start my own,but of what?I usually spent my few coins on candies,The candy shelves were a wonderland of tasty treats with colorful wrappers and names.
Then inspiration struck.Instead of throwing the wrappers away,I would save them.I would create the Candy Wrapper Museum,where I imagined that they would one day be enjoyed as art and humor after I retire.
In 2002,inspiration struck again.Why wait until retirement?Why not open the museum right now on the internet,the ultimate"superhighway"?
Building the online museum was a massive six-month,one-person project.First,I sorted roughly 650 of my favorite wrappers into themes such as:Celebrities,Classics,Holidays,Big Eats,and No Fun.I scanned everything that was flat,photographed the rest,scanned the prints,cleaned all the now-digital images,then wrote lighthearted comments to provide each visitor with my personal tour.Then,I bought a book on how to write HTML and built the site myself.
When it was launched in 2002,I had no expectations.Would anyone even be interested in this strange hobby?To my surprise,without any promotion,the site went viral(走红) ,even getting selected as Yahoo's"Funny Site of the Week".
The sudden burst of popularity inspired some comments,like,"A candy wrapper museum?Now we've heard everything."But mostly people wrote in to thank me,sharing how the sight of a long-gone favorite candy bar reminded them of their childhood memories.
This is when I knew I was doing something important.We think of collections as"things," but we also collect special moments that may not stay front of mind,but never fade from our hearts.To this day people turn to me,hoping I can help uncover connections to cherished memories around candies from their past.

15、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Ever since I was little, my favorite season was winter. I loved to play in the snow and enjoyed the hot chocolate. Unfortunately, winter never gave me the special gift of snow on my birthday. The snow disappeared before my birthday and started after it. The seed of receiving that special gift was deeply planted in my heart.
As I lived with my grandparents in my girlhood, I would always ask my grandmother why it didn't snow on my birthday. She would laugh and tell me I asked too many questions, and my grandfather would always smile at me affectionately, sitting beside the stove. But one day, my grandmother promised that she would make it snow when I was enjoying life to the fullest. I thanked her and asked for snow on my next birthday, but my mind was occupied with confusion. "How can you make it snow?" My grandmother didn't reply but shot me a determined look. It seemed that she had already hatched(策划)a plot.
But that year, before my birthday, my grandmother passed away. I was at an emotional loss, but angry because she had promised me to make it snow. The day of my sixth birthday, I woke up and ran to my window, hoping to see just one snowflake. Unfortunately, there was no snow. I cried and cried all day because my grandmother had let me down, but my grandfather said with certainty that my grandmother would keep her word.
Before my birthday every year, I would pray but it never came. By my sixteenth birthday, I had lost all hope of getting my snow, even though I still wished for it. During my party, I had the best time ever! I enjoyed the company of my friends and family, and I was truly happy.
I was outside with a friend when she asked me if I was having a good time. I told her I was enjoying my life to the fullest. Then I saw the white snow falling all around. I became like a little child on Christmas morning as I ran around screaming and laughing. I was so excited that my friend looked at me as if I were crazy, and laughed at me. She asked me if I had ever seen snow before, and I laughed and said that I had, but that this snow was very special to me.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

Paragraph 1:
Curious about my reply, my friend asked, "Why was this snow so special?"

As they mature and gradually become independent, (gain) the approval of others in their age group becomes increasingly important. , some teens will follow their peers to make an unwise choice in order to feel accepted.
But how much social pressure a teen feels depends on who they spend time with. universally recognized study in the journal Developmental Psychologyfound that teens who spent time with who don't engage in unhealthy behaviors are less likely to misbehave themselves. In other words, teens
(surround) with peers who would share their values and don't behave in destructive ways, are less likely to engage in harmful acts, without they could have healthy bodies and rosy futures.

19、阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Does your teenager seem addicted to the Internet? Probably yes. At first, parents welcome the Internet into their homes, believing they are opening up an exciting new world of educational chances for their children. Instead of using the Internet for homework or research, they are spending hours messaging with friends, playing online games or talking to strangers in chat rooms.
Keeping a healthy balance between entertainment media and other activities in their children's lives has always been a challenge for parents. The Internet has made this challenge even more difficult. .
However, parents are usually not aware that there is a problem until it becomes serious. This is because it is easy to hide what you are doing online and Internet addiction is not widely recognized by the medical community.
Children and young people can easily become hooked on online activities such as multi-player games, instant messaging and chat rooms. The most vulnerable children are those who are unpopular or shy with peers. Boys, in particular, are frequent users of online role-playing games, where they assume new identities and interact with other players. For the children who are not so outgoing, playing these games with thousands of other users may apparently be a social activity. . So parents need to help children limit the online time to an appropriate amount.
A. That is especially obvious when it comes to online social games.
B. In fact, playing too much can further keep them away from friends and peers.
C. The amount of time teenagers spend online is a source of concern for many parents.
D. But numerous parents don't discover this worrying situation and ignore it naturally.
E. However, many parents soon realize that their kids were gradually becoming Internet addicts.
F. The engaging nature of the Internet makes many children lose track of time when they're online.
G. They can be easily attracted to the opportunities for creating new identities in online communities.

20、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
One thing that many Americans can agree on, even in an era of deep political polarization(两极分化), is that our country is in a moral free fall. In survey after survey, US adults of all ages, education levels, political or religious backgrounds say that people are less kind, honest, generous, and respectful than they used to be. So is our nation's moral foundation falling apart?
Not necessarily. In fact, two psychologists, Columbia's Adam Mastroianni and Harvard's Daniel Gilbert, say that the widespread belief in moral decline(下降)is a misconception. They recently conducted a meta-analysis of all the major surveys that asked Americans about the state of moral values in this country and they found that US residents have been complaining about one another's declining morality for as long as researchers have been seeking their opinions on the matter. And yet when individual respondents are asked multiple times, over the span of a decade or more, to describe the level of politeness and kindness they observe in their fellow citizens, their descriptions of other people's attitudes and behaviors do not actually worsen at all.
Mastroianni and Gilbert, whose paper appears in the journal Nature, say the results of similar surveys conducted in dozens of other countries over the decades suggest that people all over the world are easy to be influenced by the misconception that their peers are less moral than they once were. They say that this misconception is likely explained by two well-established psychological phenomena acting together: that we tend to pay closer attention to negative rather than positive information about people's actions in the present day; and that we tend to selectively forget such negative impressions as the years roll on, leaving us with good memories for the past.
Mastroianni and Gilbert also say that their discovery has important social and political implications, especially given that, as one 2015 survey found, three-quarters of all Americans believe that addressing the moral breakdown of the country should be a high priority(优先项)for the government. "The United States faces many well-documented problems, from climate change and terrorism to racial injustice and economic inequality — and yet, nowadays it is believed that the government should devote fewer resources to reversing an imaginary trend."
(1)、What is the function of the first paragraph?A、To provide a historical review of American society. B、To present contrasting viewpoints on moral decline. C、To introduce the topic of moral decline in American society. D、To discuss the method of psychological research on moral decline.(2)、 What is the main argument presented by Mastroianni and Gilbert in their research?A、The morality of American society seems to be on a rapid rise. B、American citizens' belief in declining morality is a false idea. C、The moral breakdown has already been a long-term issue in America. D、American society has realized its own misconception of moral decline.(3)、According to the passage, what is the reason for the widespread belief in moral decline?A、Selective memory about previous impressions. B、The mixed influence of psychological phenomena. C、Negative descriptions of morality from peers. D、Lack of government involvement in moral issues.(4)、What does Mastroianni and Gilbert's research imply on social and political views?A、Americans should attach more importance to global issues. B、Americans should help the government reverse the moral decline. C、Government resources should be focused on addressing the moral decline. D、Addressing the imaginary moral breakdown should not be a top choice.
