24、①Poverty (贫困) is a big problem around the world. But China has done a good job of dealing with it and it has found its own way to fight poverty. Instead of just giving money to poor people, it has fried to educate people and give them the tools they need to lift themselves out of poverty. Ordinary people play a big role in the fight.
Here are two of them.
Zhang Guimei, 64
②Zhang Guimei has been helping girls pursue (追求) education since she traveled to Yunnan at the age of 17. As a teacher, Zhang was heartbroken when she saw her students quit school after finishing senior high school. They couldn’t go to college because their families couldn’t afford it. So in 2008, Zhang started a free school for poor girls. Since then, Zhang has been busy asking for donations to provide money for the school. She has convinced (说服) parents to send their daughters back to school. The school has sent more than 1,800 students to universities and colleges.
③When Mao Xianglin started to work as the Party secretory of his village, there was only one pathway out of the village for many years. He led more than 100 villagers to build a road with their hands. It took them seven years to build an eight-kilometer road. Mao then encouraged the villagers to grow oranges. Last year, their orange yield (产量) was nearly 40 tons. Young people have returned to the village to sell oranges online. By the end of 2019, 269 villagers had been lifted out of poverty. The per capital income(人均收入) reached 12, 670 yuan, 40 times more than that in the 1990s.
④Over the last eight year, 98.99 million rural people have been lifted of poverty. The 832 counties (县) and 128, 000 villages which these people live in are no longer in poverty. China has been responsible for reducing 70 percent of poverty worldwide since the late 1970s.

25、 People have strange ideas about food. For example, tomato is a kind of very delicious vegetable. It is one of useful plants that can be prepared in many ways. It has rich nutrition and vitamin in it. But in the 18th century, Americans never ate tomatoes. They grew them in their garden because tomato plants are so pretty. So they thought the vegetables were poisonous(有毒的). They called tomatoes “poison apples”. President Thomas Jefferson, however, knew that tomatoes were good to eat. He was a learned man. He had been to Paris, where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes. He grew many kinds of tomatoes in his garden. The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup. This beautiful pink soup was served at the President party. The guests thought the soup tasted really good. They never thought their president would serve his honoured guests poison apples.

26、 No one wants to work at a messy desk and look lazy. But does a messy desktop actually mean that? Not all disorders (无序) mean you mess everything up. Even Steve Jobs thought his personal attraction came from his messy desktop.
People who prefer a messy desk have their own ideas. Some think it makes them comfortable.
Some believe it helps them focus more easily. Messy tables can make it easier to focus on the tasks, just like some novelists can write patiently in a noisy café. Others may be the people who want to do things perfectly. For those who strive for perfection, tasks are either 100% or 0% done. So they usually put away the less important things and do the most important ones perfectly, which leads to paper mountains on the desktop.
Many people are described as untidy, careless and slow because of messy tabletops. However,when we see the desks of Albert Einstein, Mark Twain and Mark Zuckerberg- pioneers of their times ——things might change. Clearly, the world welcomes uniformity(- X ) and order, it also never refuses regular (有规律的) disorder, which seems like a mess but goes in an organized (有条理的) way.
Research shows that people working with a messy desktop are probably more creative and like to take risks. But people with a tidy one often follow the rules and may not like to try new things. For example, in an experiment (实验) done by Kathleen Vohs. People in the messy group came up with more interesting and creative ideas about the new uses of ping-pong balls than the organized one. Vohs says, Messy environments seem to inspire people to think up fresh ideas.'
But a messy desk might not be the best choice all the time. When you need new ideas, a messy desk might be a good choice; but when you want to do a task quickly and successfully, it seems better to make a desk clean and tidy.
No matter what kind of desk you prefer, we hope you feel comfortable and enjoy it!
【1】Some people prefer a messy desk because ________.
A.it makes them uncomfortable
B.they can focus on tasks easily
C.they are lazy and untidy
【2】What does the underlined phrase “strive for” mean in Chinese?
A.对……感兴趣 B.将……分开 C.为……努力
【3】What can you learn from Paragraph 3?
A.Disorder is never welcomed in this world.
B.People may be successful although they have messy tabletops.
C.People can finish the tasks perfectly as long as they keep their desks clean.
【4】The experiment done by Kathleen Vohs shows that ________.
A.people working a messy desktop think up fresh ideas more often
B.people working with a tidy desktop always try new things
C.a messy desktop has a bad influence on people's minds
【5】What can be the best title for the passage?
A.Messy Desk: Do People Need to Change It?
B.Messy Desk: Does It Make People Comfortable?
C.Messy Desk: Do People Find Excuses for It?
27、“Today I will give you a special test,” said the English teacher with a smile on his face.
All the students sat up straight and waited for the test to begin. The teacher began to give the test paper to all the students. After he finished handing out the test paper, he asked them to begin.
The students were very surprised to see that there was not a question but a black dot (圆点) in the center of the paper. The teacher noticed the students’ surprise and said, “I want you to write about what you see there.”At the end of the class, the teacher took all the students answer sheets(纸) and read the answers. All of them described the black dot. After reading all the answers, the teacher said, “Here everyone only paid attention to the black dot, but no one wrote about the blank (空白的) space of the paper.” The whole class listened silently, because they were afraid to fail in the exam. Then the teacher said, “Don’t worry about your marks for this test. I just want you to think about our life. The blank space of the paper is like our whole life and the black dot in the center of the paper represents (代表) problems in our daily life”.
Our life is a gift given to us by God, with love and care. However, we just pay attention to the problems like illness and poverty, and never see happy things in our life. So we should try to solve our problems and enjoy each moment life gives us.

Life affects friendships. As we grow, marry, fight in wars, move across the country or change jobs, old friendships fall away and new ones form. As long as we live, the things a【1】 us change, and as long as things change, friendships are affected.
When we were children, we had best friends. No matter what h【2】, we were still friends. We live our lives, however, and do what life calls for us to do, and as we get older, memories fade, faces blur, and ever friends’ names from childhood are f【3】.
Do you have a question about friendship? Do you wonder what to do with a friend who is no longer friendly? Perhaps you will see that you can’t control o【4】. If someone wants to be your friend, it is their choice. All you can do is to treat them well and do the best for them when you are w【5】 them. Then you wish them well when they leave.
You can talk to old timers and they will tell you that life is f【6】 of incredible joy and incredible sorrow, and that what bothers you today will one day becomes a m【7】 and the sting will be gone. Seniors might tell you that you will learn more as you get older. They will tell you that friendships come and friendships go. It’s the way life works, after all.
