B(2022·宝鸡陇县三模)
A woodcutter started a job at a new factory. Since the pay and work conditions were quite good, the woodcutter worked as hard as he could.
His boss gave him an axe(斧子) and showed him where he was supposed to work. On his first day, the woodcutter cut down 18 trees. “Congratulations,” his boss said. “Keep going!”
Encouraged by his boss’s words, the woodcutter worked even harder the next day, but could only cut down 15 trees. On the third day, he tried even harder, but he only cut down 10 trees. Day after day, he could cut down fewer and fewer trees.
“I must be losing my strength,” the woodcutter thought. He went to his boss and said that he could not understand what was going on.
“When was the last time you sharpened(磨) your axe?” his boss asked.
“Sharpen?I have no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut down trees,” the woodcutter replied.
Our lives are like that. We sometimes get so busy that we have no time to sharpen our “axe”. In today’s world, it seems that everyone is busier than ever, but less happy than ever.
Why is this?There’s nothing wrong with the activity and hard work. Probably it is because we have forgotten how to stay “sharp”. We have forgotten to improve our skills so we lose our efficiency(效率). Then we leave ourselves in a busy state and become stressed. We will feel less happy.
So remember, always spend time sharpening your “axe”.

Curling is a popular winter sport. Lots of people are interested in it. They think curling is an interesting sport to watch. Some people don’t have a chance to go to stadiums to watch it, so they choose to watch it on TV.
Curling players use a curling stone for their sport. The stone looks like a flat(扁平的) ball with a handle on top. It weighs about 42 pounds. The players use the handle to push the stone over the ice and then release it. The stone then slides into the scoring area. Official curling stones are made from a type of Scottish granite(花岗岩). A new one can cost $1 000!
Curling uses stones on an icy surface. Curling is played between two teams, and each team has four players on it. The members of the team can be men or women. A team with both is called a mixed team. The goal of curling is to push a stone on ice into a scoring area. Players use a special curling broom(冰壶杆) to sweep the area of ice in front of the stone as it slides along. This helps the stone end up in the best possible place for a good score.
The players have special clothing and equipment. They wear special curling shoes. This sport requires skills. Some people agree that curling is a difficult sport to play. In their mind, a good score is usually a matter of luck!

Yours,
