They said nothing for a while. “See that stick on the tree? Break (折断) it off for me,” the sage said toVaryu. Varyu did so quickly. “Now let’s try to pull (拔) out some vegetables from the ground,” said the sage and Varyu followed his words. After a few minutes’ pulling, some vegetables came out of the ground. The sage then asked Varyu to pull out a small tree. Varyu smiled, thinking it would be easy, but he was wrong. He worked hard but he still couldn’t pull the tree out. The sage smiled and said, “Bad habits are just like the tree. Once they get strong, it is almost impossible to give them up. In the beginning, you rule your body, but when bad habits get strong, they will rule your body. If you want to rule your body, the time is now.” Varyu stopped drinking from then on. 19.

His father was worried about him, so his father spoke to a sage and asked him what he should do.”可知，Varyu每天都喝很多酒，所以他的父亲很担心他。故选B。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Varyu went to the sage’s house the next day.”、“They walked through the yard together.”以及“See that stick on the tree? Break it off for me,”可知，第二天，Varyu先是去了圣人家里，穿过院子，接着他很快把棍子折断了；根据第三段“After a few minutes’ pulling, some vegetables came out of the ground.”和第四段“He worked hard but he still couldn’t pull the tree out.”可知，Varyu从地里拔了一些蔬菜，他试图把树拔出来，但没有成功。因此，第二天，Varyu的活动顺序为：e-b-d-c-a。故选A。 【22题详解】 词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Bad habits are just like the tree. Once they get strong, it is almost impossible to give them up.”可知，坏习惯就像那棵树，一旦它们变得强大，几乎不可能放弃它们，也就是说坏习惯变强大了，我们很难控制它们；据此可以推断，划线单词“rule”意为“控制”，与“control”同义。故选A。 【23题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“Bad habits are just like the tree. Once they get strong, it is almost impossible to give them up. In the beginning, you rule your body, but when bad habits get strong, they will rule your body.”可知，坏习惯就像那棵树，一旦它们变得强大，几乎不可能放弃它们；一开始，你控制着你的身体，但当坏习惯变得强大时，它们就会控制你的身体；所以说越早改掉坏习惯越好。故选B。 (C) 阅读下面短文，根据语篇内容，从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺。选项中有一项为多余项。 David started playing the violin when he was five. ____24____ When he was 23, David decided to start his life around music.
