8.Rod Kalin learned the secret to success while he was young.As a child,he liked playing with a stuffed (填充)rabbit his mother had made."At that time,I knew he would become a craftsman (工匠) in the future,"Kalin's mother said.
Kalin's father was a carpenter and taught him early how to use his hands.In high school,Kalin was so interested in photography that he cut class to take photos 18 hours a day.Eventually Kalin ended up at New York University.One night,his landlord asked him to build a website for his restaurant."I didn't know anything about websites,but I built the basic site by looking through books in four weeks,"Kalin recalls.
After working on a craft site that provided"advice and a lot of hand-holding",Kalin recognized that there was no market for their goods.He wrote a fan letter to Stewart Butterfield,the founder of Flickr,who had sold his highly popular photo-sharing website to Yahoo!Impressed by Kalin's letter,he took a look at Kalin's idea and invited him to San Francisco for a month in 2006.He taught Kalin how to build a website,and helped him borrow $615,000 from a bank.
With the help of Stewart,Kalin was able to create etsy.com,an online craft fair that may be the largest market for hand made goods in the world.Last year,350,000 woodworkers and other craftsmen sold their one-of-a-kind goods on the four-year-old site.It sells everything from hand-knitted T-shirts to wooden electric guitars.In an age of chain stores and malls,it seems there's still a big market for the unique:custom-made skirts and hand-painted tea sets.Today,Etsy's staff has increased to 70 employees,and more than three million consumers in 150 countries are buying goods on Etsy every year.

21.It can be learned from the passage that Rob KalinC.
A.opened a restaurant after graduation
B.was good at building websites at university
C.a(chǎn)dmired Stewart Butterfield very much
D.offered good advice to craftsmen

B.It sells custom-made clothes and other handmade things.
C.It has employed 350,000 craftsmen.

3.With all of the wonderful things life brings us,it also brings us stress.It is for this reason that I am an active supporter of mental health days.
Although it's never good to ignore(忽視) responsibilities,sometimes it is good to unplug(拔除) from the world for a day.We eat healthy and stay active to keep us from getting sick,but sometimes we forget to care for our minds.Our minds and bodies are connected,and when only one is being cared for,the other may be suffering.It is important to try to combine self care with our lives and spend time on activities we enjoy.This helps relieve stress on a daily day.
So,what do you do on a mental health day?The answer is anything you want.Growing up,my brother and I were allowed a few mental health days a year.We would stay home from school and relax.For him,it was playing games on the computer,while my days were spent reading or watching TV.My mental health days now include picking things up around my apartment,cooking a tasty meal,and then reading for a few hours.I completely shut myself off from work or school.To me,this is relaxing.Organize the clutter(凌亂的東西) that piles up during the week,cook the meals I don't have time to cook,and read the books that I've bought but don't have time to read.
A mental health day is great,but only if it's supplemented(增補(bǔ)) with self care through the week.From my experience,if self care is not regularly provided in your week,taking a mental health day is just going to stress you out even more.But when it's needed,try hard to recognize that and take care of yourself.It will help keep you happy and healthy.A mental health day is not a day to avoid life,it is a day to recoup(恢復(fù)).

32.What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A
A.People tend to ignore their mental health.
B.People should care for each other.
C.One should have a strong sense of responsibility.
D.Mental health is less important than physical health.
33.According to the author,on a mental health day people shouldD.
A.stay at home alone.
B.enjoy outdoor activities
C.do something meaningful.
D.do whatever they want.
34.What did the author's brother do on mental health days as a kid?B
A.He cooked for his family.
B.He played computer games.
C.He watched TV programs          
D.He read the books he bought.
35.According to the last paragraph,to keep mentally healthy,C.
A.one needs help and care from other.
B.leading a regular life is unnecessary.
C.mental health days are not enough.
D.one should try to be physically friendly.
