21、 Wildfires were rapidly spreading through northern and southern California as powerful winds swept through the state, burning homes and forcing more than 200,000 people to leave their homes. Thousands of structures were destroyed in the massive fires. Firefighters and volunteers worked around the clock, risking their lives to save others, although thick clouds of wildfire smoke hung in the air.
But it's not just humans in danger’s path. A video of a horse running away from the rescue team to find his family of horses from CBS Los Angeles went viral. The public was touched by the horse's heroic act and shared their thoughts on the Internet.
Volunteers were rescuing several horses from the wildfire when one of the horses jumped away from the group. They were trying to help the horse, but he refused. They probably had no idea what was wrong with the horse, who just started running away from them. The horse raced back into danger to lead his family to safety, despite rescuers' best efforts to stop him. He knew he couldn't leave them behind. As the tension increased, several human strangers jumped in to help the animals — they went back to the burning barn where some of the horses remained.
You can watch the horse run back into the smoke-filled area, reconnect with the horses inside the fence, and quickly accompany them out of the fenced-off area. Though it's not clear from the video, CBS Los Angeles reported that all but one of the horses involved were saved. Disastrous as the California wildfires have been, the video and countless other rescue stories — humans and animals alike — are shining light on all acts of goodness taking place.
【1】What does the author intend to show by telling the wildfires in detail in Para. 1?
A.What caused the big wildfires. B.How serious the wildfires were.
C.What rescuers did in the wildfires. D.How rapidly the wildfires spread.
【2】What does the underlined phrases 'went viral' mean?
A.Turned bad. B.Got attacked.
C.Became interesting. D.Grew popular.
【3】Which words can best describe the horse?
A.Loyal but stubborn. B.Caring and courageous.
C.Responsible and clever. D.Flexible but aggressive.
【4】What message does the author want to convey?
A.Fighting disasters needs joint efforts. B.Animals are always friends of man.
C.All good deeds deserve to be praised. D.Animals show goodness to each other.
22、 All left-handed humans have not had it easy in the world. In many cultures and in the dark ages, left-handed people have generally been seen as the devil.
The word “left” in English comes from the Anglo-Saxon word “lyft”，which means weak or broken. The Oxford English Dictionary defines “left-handed” as meaning defective, awkward or clumsy. 【1】 A “left-handed compliment” and a “left-handed marriage” can be set as examples. The former does not mean sincere praise but indicates an insult. The latter, as you may notice, refers to an illegal or informal marriage, which, in particular, involves one side of royal or noble birth and the other of lower rank.
In some certain cultures, things go beyond that. 【2】 In Nigeria, for instance, taking or giving anything to anyone with your left hand is assumed that you lack home training.
【3】 Many people around you in China, if asked, would tell you they were forced by their parents or teachers, to write with their right hand. Strangely enough, none of those elders can say what an actual problem there is with left-handedness. If it has to do with the fear of that child not being prosperous, there are a lot of left-handed personalities doing well and breaking grounds. The possible explanation here maybe lies in their long- held prejudice. 【4】
Two-thirds of the world still view left-handedness as a shortcoming but it isn't. 【5】That is what C. R. Manske points out, “Life without left-handed people wouldn't be right. ”
A．And that is not the only case.
B．The following two examples can best reflect this point.
C．A tiny gesture or movement with the left hand can mean a lot.
D．Namely, people tend to believe in common ideas instead of the reality.
E．The way forward for the left-handers is for them to be accepted as they are.
F．Certain phrases in English suggest a rather negative view of “left-handedness”.
G．In other words, different deep-rooted beliefs originate from different cultures.

24、 This is what's known as a 'Buddy' or Friendship Bench'. They're needed because playgrounds can be lonely places sometimes. And these benches can help pupils feeling lonely to find a friend. Benches like this have been around for a while now in many schools. But in Ireland, they are trying to do something a bit different with them.
This school in Cork in the south of Ireland is the 247th to get one from a social enterprise called Buddy Bench Ireland that doesn't just provide schools with benches, it also runs special workshops with trained child psychiatrists（精神病专家）.They use the bench as an opportunity to start conversations about mental well-being. They talk about the importance of being aware of your feelings and those of others. The children need to understand what the bench is about, what it symbolizes--- friendship, inclusion, listening to each other and the most important thing, that it's important to express feelings.
But do children actually use the bench? It's something an independent academic study has been looking at. We found that 40% of the children told us that they had actually used the benches at the time of the study. And over 90% said that they would talk to a child if that child was sitting on the bench. So, certainly there doesn't appear to be any issues around stigma. Children's mental health at school is increasingly a concern in many countries. In Ireland, they're hoping these benches will not only tackle issues like social isolation and bullying but also give a future generation the confidence to open up about their feelings.
【1】Why the school in Cork in the south of Ireland uses the bench?
A.To start conversations about mental well-being.
B.To replace the old benches in school.
C.To cut the cost of school's facility.
D.To help children with psychological problems fully recover.
【2】What makes the bench work in Ireland schools?
A.Teachers and parents encourage children to try it.
B.Most children are willing to express feelings.
C.All the children understand what the bench is about.
D.The bench helps children get rid of loneliness.
【3】What do schools expect of the bench?
A.It will deal with social isolation and bullying completely.
B.It will motivate a future generation to bravely convey their feelings.
C.It will make children prefer the bench to old one.
D.It will spread in most schools in Ireland soon.
【4】Where is the text most likely from?
A.A fiction B.A guidebook
C.A diary D.A magazine
