Then I try to come out in front of seven competitors at the end of the track, which includes 40-foot jumps.

I do tons of resistance and agility（灵*舌）training, both on and off the bike. I also do mental drills with a sports psychologist to make sure I'm focused and confident going into competition. If I make a mistake on the course, I have to move on. Everyone is out to beat me;I need to concentrate on winning so my competitors can't capitalize on an error and pass me!I was so proud to win a silver medal at the Olympics in Rio, but I felt I was capable of gold, so that will push me to do better.

While there, he noticed that throughout the day his T-shirts were gradually gathering something that looked like dirt.” realized this was air pollution, or sooty （像煤一 样）particulate matter （PM）, made of black particles released from exhaust（尾气）of vehicles, "Sharma says. nThis is a major health issue.nSoot consists of tiny black particles, about 2.5 micrometers or smaller, made carbon produced by incomplete burning of fossil fuels.Back at MIT,Sharma set out to help solve this air-pollution issue. After years of research and development, Sharma's startup Graviky Labs has developed technology that attaches to exhaust systems of diesel generators （柴油发电机）to collect particulate matter.Scientists atGraviky then turn it into ink, called Air-Ink, for artists around the world.

In a session of We Can Do Hard Things, she focuses on boundaries and their importance to our mental happiness. I heartily agree with her, because saying a polite but firm “no” is one of the basics for a happy life. I was, however, interested when she raised the idea that perhaps, as well as learning when to confirm our boundaries, we also need to stretch them. When does a boundary become a cage that locks us away?Isn't it always the case that just as you think you've got an area of life nailed; somebody comes along to show you that that's not the case? As I listened, I started to see boundariesthat might cause more problems than they were solving.There was the work boundary that said that unless a project fell exactly into my topics, I wouldn't take it-which meant that I turned down work that was otherwise interesting and rewarding.There was the boundary that said I wasn't to buy anything until rd reached my savings goal-which resulted in me having to restart my laptop 20 times a day.And then there was a boundary around relationships that set out exactly how I should be treated and what I wanted in them. Helpful to some extent, it blocked me from allowing someone to express their love for me, even if it wasn't quite what I had predicted.Had I been doing boundaries wrong all the time? Did I need to figure them all out again? I've spent the past few weeks looking at the boundaries I've secretly put in place, and I've let myself lower some that have been my protection over the years. Then I've come to the conclusion that, when it comes to boundaries, I'm a beginner again, and that's fine. In fact, being back at the beginning is a blessing because it means there are still lessons to be learned and adventures to be had and that is something for which I can only be grateful.12. What has really interested the author in Glennon Doyle's programme?A. The importance of confirming our boundaries.B. The benefits of boundaries to our happiness.C , The urgency of maintaining our boundaries.D. The necessity of reassessing our boundaries.13. Which statement on boundaries will the author agree with?A. We should favour savings goals over boundaries.B. Boundaries tend to keep us from potential friendsBoundaries are very likely to relieve boredom at work.C. We should stick to boundaries despite inconvenience.14. How did the author feel about boundaries after the?A. Relaxed.B. Depressed. C. Pressured.D. Amused.15. . What is probably the best tittle for the passage?A. Just when you think you've got things sorted.B. Just where you believe there's no way outC. How can we live a life without boundaries? D. How do we become victims of boundaries?二、七选五Shannan Hearne's oldest dream was to own a ranch（牧场）. In February 2020, her dream finally came true when she opened the gates of Sun and Moon Ranch. Then, just a month later, the county slid into COVID-19 lockdown. 16With large areas of grasslands and plenty of sunshine and fresh air, there was no safer way for frightened neighbors to get out of the house. 17 Sure, you can sign up for riding lessons or board your horse. But you can also drop by to play with the chickens, goats, and dogs, or join the younger ranchers playing on the big pile of freshly dug dirt. Hearne now saw the ranch as something more than a business it would be a place the community could call home.18 Many of them came not just for free cookouts, but for the chance to find peace of mind. "I had a vision fbr the space able to help cure those in need/ says Hearne. One of those people, now 15, was bom without fingers on one hand. His grandmother brought him to Sun and Moon for riding lessons Learning to control a horse with one hand helped him better manage his disability, and he grew closer to his grandmother over their shared love of horses. "19 And I believe this is especially true for children oranyone who struggles with any sort of psychological issues," Hearne says.Another boy became selectively silent because of his autism （自闭症）.20Taking the reins （缰绳）,literally, helped him do so in his daily life too.

As the pandemic deepened, locals began to gather there.C. Soon Hearne's dream began to grow into something bigger.D. Locals desired to put up a tent there when they felt won out.E. Lesson by lesson, Hearne watched him slowly come out of his own world.F. He went from not answering questions to literally talking our ears off.G.
