APeople are always looking for lost cities and occasionally one is found: Borobudur in Indonesia, for example. But perhaps some of the places people look for never existed—or did they? Here are just a few famous mythical(传说中的) cities.El DoradoEl Dorado is a story that began in 1537 when Spanish explorers found the Muisca people in the mountains of what is now Colombia. They heard the story of a man who covered himself with gold and dived into a lake. Then people began to talk of El Dorado—“the golden man”. Soon people started to think of El Dorado as a place, too—a city of gold and amazing riches. Nowadays, the name “El Dorado” is still used to mean “a place where you can get rich quickly”.AtlantisThere was once an island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. It was the mythical island of Atlantis. The people of the island were very rich, thanks to the natural resources on their island. For hundreds of years, they lived simple lives. But slowly they began to change. They started to want power. So the gods decided to destroy Atlantis. Suddenly, the island and its people were swallowed(淹没) by the sea and were never seen, again.ShambhalaIn Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Shambhala is a mystical country that is hidden somewhere behind the Himalayas. Shambhala is a word from an old language that means “place of peace” or “place of happiness”. It is said that there is no war in Shambhala, and in the fu ture, when the world is full of war, a huge army will come out of Shambhala, destroy the world’s bad rulers, and start a new Golden Age. Some people say this will happen in 2424.21. What does “El Dorado” mean nowadays?A. Colombia.B. A golden man.C. A place of great wealth.D. A city with mountains.22.

The 50-year-old wasn’t sure she would ever work again, due to health issues.But Aldridge’s life and career journey started to turn around after she connected with Goodwill of Central Iowa’s skills training programs. These programs a re tailored to help people develop the kind of specific, real-world skills they need to get and keep a job, through a combination of detailed instruction and hands-on experience.When Aldridge first connected with Goodwill in September 2017, she was dealing with several barriers(障碍) to immediate employment. Transportation was challenging, as she didn’t have a driver’s license or own a car. Aldridge also had a limited work history with long employment gaps (间断), meaning she missed out on learning important skills, such as working a credit card machine. On top of that, her physical health issues were also a problem.According to Kayleigh Duff, a career specialist at Goodwill of Central Iowa, the biggest barrier Aldridge had to overcome was from within. “She said outwardly that she h ad allof this confidence and that she knew how strong a worker she was, but I don’t think she truly believed it herself.”Thankfully, Aldridge had plenty of people on her side to provide motivation and guidance. She originally started off in the food service training program but was eager to enter the retail (零售) skills program, since she had previously worked at the Salvation Army and Subway. When Aldridge mentioned her interest in retail, Duff recognized that her go-getting attitude would be a perfect match for the program. The seven-week retail skills training is a systematic program combining classroom instruction with on-the-job experience at a Goodwill store. As Aldridge progressed and graduated from the program, she became more confident in her abilities.Duff said it was great to see how Aldridge grew into the devoted, driven worker she is today. “She has this strong desire, this longing to succeed. And she knows that she’s able to do that, although she has fallen short in the past.”24. What can be learned about Goodwill’s training programs?A. They combine theory with practice.B. They guarantee(保证) a good job for participants.C. They are designed mainly for the unemployed.D. They were started in the autumn of 2017.25. What was the biggest problem Aldridge faced according to Duff?A. Poor health.B. Poor working skills.C. Not having enough confidence.D. A lack of a driver’s license.26. Why did Aldridge change her training program?A. She wanted to attend a more systematic program.B. She wanted to gain some hands-on experience.C. She was more interested in retail.D. She followed Duff’s advice.27. What’s the main idea of the text?A. A 50-year-old devotes herself to Goodwill.B. Goodwill helps a 50-year-old turn her life around.C. Goodwill training programs spring up around the world.D. Success is closely linked to appropriate training programs.CRetirement(退休) should be time of joy and freedom. However, for some people retirement comes with feelings of depression, which makes life difficult for them.Retirement is a major life change. Even good changes usually involve some kinds of loss. When you retire, you find yourself lacking(缺乏) whatever working used to provide. That could include, for example, 1. knowing yo u’re working for society, 2. getting admiration from your skills, 3. having “aha” moments when you solve problems, 4. having people to socialize with, and 5. simply having a place to go and a reason to get out of bed every day. For most people, there’s a f inancial loss, too. Also, retirement age is a time when a lot of people have to deal with losing their parents or having serious health problems of their own.Because of all these, retirees are more likely to get depressed.Depression is very harmful. First, depression can make physical health problems worse. Second, it takes a toll on relationships, because it can make people angry. Third, it’s hard to get much done when you’re depressed.What can we do to overcome the feelings of depression? First, do all the things that help depression in general: drink enough water, exercise, talk to friends, have a hobby,laugh, and spend time in nature. If you feel depressed more often than not, it’s probably time to talk to a doctor about your feelings. Second, it’s important to keep busy and get out of the house when you can. Make specific plans with friends. Take a class Volunteer. Or just make sure you start each day with some kind of goal. Third, try to focus on what you’ve gained by retiring. Think about what you may have now that you wished you had before you were able to retire. For example, days that are less stressful, a chance to rest and take better care of your body, more time for your family and yourself. To write, to start a hobby and to learn something new are all new possibilities. Finally, tell your story. You’ve lived a long time and you become an oral historian each time you talk with someone about your experiences. You can also write in a journal or make a video recording of your memories. Telling your stories can help you look back on your life and career with a sense of wholeness and achievements.28.
