24、阅读下面的短文,然后根据短文内容,在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Little stream ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “ I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many times, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean.” She said sadly to herself.
At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze (微风)can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “ That’s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.”
“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The breeze can carry the vapor(水汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert, “ And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing this, this little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life.
The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are.
【1】The little stream ___________ before she got to the desert.
A. didn’t meet much difficulty B. was worried about herself
C. knew well about the desert D. was confident about herself
【2】The little stream finally crossed the desert by _______________.

C. disappearing into the sand D. changing her nature
【3】 What does the story mainly tell us?
A. The road to success is not always easy and smooth.
B. Whatever others say, we should always be ourselves.
C. To succeed, we should change the way we are if necessary.
D. We may experience difficulties in life just like the little stream.

Street food can be found in many countries. But does that mean you can both buy and eat your food in the street?
Japan, especially some of its popular tourist cities, is struggling to answer this question. Kamakura is one of them. Last April, the city made a law asking visitors not to eat while walking. One major concern is rubbish from packaging and leftover (吃剩的) food.
According to the Kamakura government, the law, which has been posted in public areas, was created to remind travelers of the problem rather than to punish them. There are no fines or punishment for people who break the law.
Concerns about eating while walking aren’t just about messy clothes and streets. Many Japanese people believe it is poor manners to walk or do other activities while eating because it means you’re not showing enough respect and thanks to your food.
The problem of tourists eating in the street isn’t a concern to Japan only. In a section of the city center of Florence, Italy, visitors are not allowed to eat on sidewalks, roadways or in front of shops and houses. At the same time, Bangkok, a city famous for its street food, has been trying to find out what to do with its outdoor markets and food stalls (货摊).

26、Einstein often received invitations to explain his theories at different universities. On these trips, his driver was always the same man called Hans. Hans often said to him. “It is a pleasure to drive a talent like you, Dr Einstein.”
One evening, on their way to a university, Einstein said, “I’m so tired. I wish I could refuse to give my lecture(讲座) tonight, Hans, but I don’t want to let my audience down.”
“I know what to do,” said Hans. “I can give the lecture for you. You can trust me. I’ve listened to your lecture so many times that I’ve learnt it by heart. No one knows you at this university, so they won’t find out.”
So, they changed places. At the university, Hans was guided to the front of the hall. Einstein took a seat, listened to Hans give his lecture without difficulty, and joined in the applause (掌声) at the end.
However, before Hans left, a man shouted, “I’d like to ask you a question.” He then asked a difficult question and Hans had no idea what he was talking about.
Einstein turned pale. “Oh no! ,” he thought. “Now we’re in trouble.” But Hans just laughed and said, “That’s such an easy question that even my driver can answer it. Hans, please…”
