When her father died tragically in a car accident, leaving her mother to support three daughters on a modest income, paying for college became out of the question.Around that time, Steph tried to figure out what to do with a life that had differed so much from the plan she'd carefully laid out.

"Working-class and logging families. She knew most of us would not go to college. She was right. But she knew we could continue to learn after high school. She was also right about that." Steph studied the list. Each of those books sparked her passion to learn more about the person, subject matter, or time in history.

What happened next would grab the world's attention and lead to a complex and daring international rescue operation. The 10.3-kilometer-long Tham Luang cave flooded, trapping the boys in total blackness nearly 2.5 kilometers from the cave entrance.Thousands of people from around the globe participated in the rescue effort, including military personnel, medical experts and the rock stars of the operation - cave divers. The divers, who safely removed all of the Thai children and their coach after 18 days underground, dealt with tight spaces and low visibility in muddy waterconditions that would prove deadly: Saman Gunan, a former Thai Navy Seal, died while transporting air tanks into the cave.While the sport of cave diving had received attention in the pop culture area prior to the rescue mission in North Thailand, there is little doubt that the brave divers at Tham Luang cave helped push the activity and its varieties of risks into global society's minds.The sport-often referred to as among the world's most dangerous recreational activities-has its roots in pre-WWII England. Since then, the recreational practice of cave diving, described by Australian cave explorer Richard Harris (a participant in the Tham Luang cave rescue) as an "unusual hobby” for “the ordinaryhas spread around the world-China included.Over 1,000 kilometers northeast of Tham Luang cave, in South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, lies karst-peak-covered Du'an county-China,s little-known cave diving Mecca.Home to thousands of kilometers of underground rivers, Du9an county offers divers spellbinding geological formations, perhaps the world's largest collection of blind fish species and a rare variety of freshwater jellyfish. 8.

The divers' heroic deeds.10. Why is Du9an county referred to as a cave diving Mecca?A. It is northeast of Tham Luang cave.B. There are lots of underground rivers.C. It is hardly known to the outside world.D. It has the world's largest geological formations.11. What will be talked about in the following passage?A. Spectacular cave diving experiences in Du'an. B.

But then again, too few to mention,“ Frank Sinatra chanted in his 1969 hit "My Way”. The song's idea is attractive: that anyone can just declare what's done is done and move on. Some take the declaration a step further and claim they have no regrets at all. Whether a boast or an actual attitude, "no regrets” suggests that life can and should be lived without looking through the rear-view mirror.Easier said than done, though. In 2020, author Daniel H. Pink launched the World Regret Survey, the largest ever survey on the topic. With his research team, Pink asked more than 15,000 people in 105 countries, "How often do you look back on your life and wish you had done things differently?” 82% said regret is at least an occasional part of their life; roughly 21 % said they feel regret “al 1 the time." Only 1 % said they never feel regret.If you are of the “no regrets” type, you might think that all this regret is a recipe for unhappiness. But that isn't the case. True, being overwhelmed by regret is indeed bad for you. But going to the other extreme may be even worse. To rid yourself of regrets doesn't free you from shame or sorrow; it leads you to make the same mistakes again and again. To truly get over our guilt requires that we put regret in its proper place.As uncomfortable as it is, regret is an amazing cognitive （认矢口）achievement. If today your relationship with your partner has soured, your regret might mentally take you back to last year. You would remember your being mean and sensitive, and then imagine yourself showing more patience, being kind instead of hurtful at key moments. Then you would fast-forward to today and see how your relationship could be progressing instead of languishing.But regret doesn't have to be left unmanaged. The trick is to acknowledge it and use it fbr learning and improvement. You can be honest with yourself about what went wrong and use that knowledge to enjoy better relationships in the future.12. What should we do if we have had a bitter quarrel with a close friend according to Frank Sinatra?A. Attract more people to your argument.B. Send him/her a letter of apology.C. Boast about being more reasonable.D. Forget about it and just let it go.13. Which of the following statements about regret may the writer agree with?A. We can do nothing about regret.B. Unhappiness results from regret.C. Ignoring regrets is missing the opportunity to improve.D. Ridding yourself of regrets helps free you from sorrow.14. What does the underlined word “languishing“ in paragraph 4 most probably mean?A. Improving. B. Healing. C. Showing up. D. Breaking up.15. What might be a suitable title for the text?A. Regret to become smarter-if you let it. B. Long for a different past? Regret it!C. Regret? Not my way!D. Stay away! Regret will heal itself.第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。According to a study done by University of Michigan researchers, shopping to relieve stress was up to 40 times more effective at giving people a sense of control and shoppers were three times less sad compared to those that only looked around for items.More than half of the 1,000 respondents said they have impulsively shopped to deal with feelings of stress, anxiety or depression. 16 In fact, shopping to reduce stress can actually help you live a healthier life by making sure that your blood pressure is lowered.
