21、Dear Tommy,
I'm in Paris now! Mom, Sally and I came here to visit my uncle. We are having a wonderful time. Dad didn't come because his company (公司) sent him to work in Japan last month. He will have to stay there until November.
For Sally and me, it's our first time to come to France. We are so excited! Last week Mom went to different shows alone. She used to study in Paris, so she knows the city well. Sally and I visited many interesting places with Aunt Susan. Although we can't speak French, it's OK. Aunt Susan and Uncle Tyler can speak both French and English.
Yesterday afternoon, Mom, Sally and Aunt Susan stayed home cooking dinner. Uncle Tyler took me fishing. We drove for an hour and finally arrived at his favorite lake. First, we walked around the lake looking for a good place to fish. Uncle Tyler said we should fish from the top of a large rock.
I was so interested in catching a fish that when I threw my fishing line and hook (鱼钩) out, the rod (鱼竿) went with them! Uncle Tyler got my rod out of the lake. Then he said that next time, I should wait until he put bait (鱼饵) on the hook.
We fished for two hours and my uncle caught four fish. He is a fantastic fisherman. The only thing I caught was a cold. I can't wait to go again soon, so I can become a great fisherman like him.
Yours,
Frank

22、The new book Harry Potter and the Half-Blood is warmly welcomed by the children in China. It sells well across China. You can see and hear the advertisements about the book here and there.
Why is the book so attractive (吸引人的) to children? After reading it, I was attracted by the magic world. I can not help asking: where is our own Harry Potter?

24、"I never knew before, Cecil, that you were so fond of drawing," said Aunt Sophia, as she looked over the shoulder of her nephew, who was busy with his pencil. "You really have made great progress."
"I need to do so," cried Cecil, "if I am to carry off the prize for drawing, as I am determined to do this term."
"I should have thought," said the aunt, "that you had little chance against Lee. He is an artist's son, and has used the pencil from his cradle.(摇篮) "
"That will double the pleasure of beating him!" cried Cecil, "I'm working now at this four hours a day; he never draws more than two."
"You are not neglecting(忽视) your Latin for it, I hope? You have had the Latin prize every term for these three years past," said Aunt Sophia.
"Yes," replied Cecil, with a proud smile; "there is no boy in our class who can match me in that, though Russell is now working hard. But I am not content with one prize: I cannot rest till I have won the paint-box for drawing, of which Tom Lee makes so sure. It would be glorious to beat the son of an artist on his own ground!"
"Take care," said his aunt, "that you do not lose the Latin prize in trying for what you are not likely to gain.”
On the evening of the day on which the names of the prize-winners were read out, Cecil came home from school long-faced. His looks told his aunt enough to make her spare him the pain of questions; but his little sister Rosey was not so thoughtful.
"Cecil," she cried, "tell me, are you to get the two prizes?"
"No, not even one. I was so busy trying to beat Lee that I could not hold my ground against Russell." Cecil threw himself into a sofa in an angry mood.
Their aunt silently hoped that the lesson might prove worth the pain which it cost.
【1】What made Cecil keep practicing drawing?
A. His interest in drawing. B. His strong will to win the prize.
C. Lee’s being the son of an artist. D. Russell’s working hard on Latin.
【2】Which of the following words best describes Aunt Sophia?
A. Thoughtful B. Strict C. Strong D. Cruel
【3】Why did Cecil fail to win any prizes?
A. He didn’t put in enough time. B. He had no talent
C. He wanted to succeed too much D. He was too tired
【4】The word “content with” in the passage means ________.
A. strong in B. satisfied with C. worried about D. surprised at
【5】We can know from passage that________.
A. Cecil was fond of drawing
B. Cecil lost because Lee spent more time drawing
C. Aunt Sophia worried Cecil might lose both prizes before competitions
D. Aunt Sophia thought Cecil was good at drawing
25、语法填空
(1) One of the world’s 【1】(danger) sports is mountain climbing, and one of the most popular places for this is the Himalayas. The Himalayas run along the southwestern part of China. Of all the mountains, Qomolangma rises the highest and is the most famous. It’s 8844.43 meters high and so is very dangerous 【2】(climb). Thick clouds cover the top and snow can fall very hard. Even more serious difficulties 【3】 (include) freezing weather conditions and heavy storms. It is also very hard to take in air as you get near the top.
(2) The first people 【4】(reach) the top were Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary 【5】 May 29, 1953. The first Chinese team did so in 1960, while the first woman to 【6】(success) was Junko Tabei from Japan in 1975. Why do so many 【7】(climb) risk their lives? One of the main reasons is because people want 【8】 (challenge) themselves in the face of difficulties. The spirit of these climbers shows us that we should never give up 【9】(try) to achieve our dreams. It also shows that humans can sometimes be 【10】(strong) than the forces of nature.
