Where I’m from, we’re pretty relaxed about time. We don’t like to rush around, so we don’t mind if people are a little late sometimes.

We value the time we spend with our family and friends in our everyday lives. We often just drop our friends’ homes if we have time. We don’t usually have to make plans to meet our friends. When we see each other, it’s polite for boys to shake hands and for girls to kiss each other on the side of the face. We often just walk around the town center, seeing as many of our friends as we can!

In Svitzerland3._________________________________（守时是很重要的）。We are the capital of clocks and watches after all! 4. If someone invites you to meet him or her at noon, then you’re expected to be there at noon. If you’re even 15 minutes late, your friends may get mad. So I make an effort to be on time when I meet my friends. 5. I always leave the house early to avoid heavy traffic because I think it’s impolite to keep others waiting. Also, we never visit a friend’s house without calling first. We almost always make plans to see friends. We usually plan to do something interesting, or go somewhere together.

24、   When you sit and watch TV hour after hour, do you ever think of what it may do to your health?

More and more teenagers are becoming overweight(超重的) and near-sighted because of the large amount of time they spend in front of TV. Plus, they are growing less and less creative(创造性的) since watching TV doesn’t need active thought.

Last week, the TV Turn-off Network began its ninth TV Turn-off week in the U. S. A. The organization(组织) encourages people to play games, read books, lie under a tree, talk to family members and friends—anything but watch TV.

American school children spend about 1,000 hours a year watching TV—more time than they spend in school. Doctors in both China and the U. S. A. worry that sitting and watching TV has replaced the physical activity that is necessary to keep children healthy. Experts say that the longer children watch TV, the more weight they will get. And the food children eat while watching TV makes the problem more serious. To keep healthy, kids need to exercise, talk to friends and family, and explore the world around them.

Could you go a week without television? It might be difficult for many TV lovers, but why not have a try?

【1】Teenagers can ____ instead of sitting and watching TV according to the passage.

A.play games B.read books C.talk to friends D.all of the above

26、In order to tell what I believe, I must bring up something from my personal history.

The turning point of my life was my decision to give up my promising business job and study music. My parents didn’t think it was a good choice I took up music as a job. Considering my family background, this was understandable. My grandfather had taught music for forty years at Spring Hill College. Although he was much loved by his students, he didn’t earn(挣钱) enough to provide for his large family. As a result of this example in the family, my parents strongly asked me to the college instead of a music school, and so to college I went.

Before my graduation from Columbia, the family ran into some money problems and I felt it was my duty to leave college and find a job. That was why I took a business job, which I always think of as the wasted years. I went into it for money, for being able to help the family. Money is all I got out of it. It was not enough. I felt that life was passing me by. I became very sad.

My wish was to save enough money to quit(退出) and go to Europe to study music. I continued to make money, and finally, little by little, I saved enough to go abroad.

At that time, my family got out of the trouble. ____________, and so I gave up my position and sailed for Europe. I stayed four years, worked harder than I had ever dreamed of working before, and enjoyed every minute of it.

“Enjoyed” is too soft a word. I walked on air. I really lived. When I broke away from business, it was against the advice of all my friends and family, but if I had stayed in business, I do not believe I would have made a success of living.

Money is a wonderful thing, but now I know that it is possible to pay too high a price for it.

【1】The writer gave his grandpa’s example in order to ______.

A. My dream came true at last   B. I went on to practice the violin

C. My family no longer needed my help   D. I made so much money to support my family

【3】The underlined sentence “I walked on air” means the writer______.

A. couldn’t find his place in a new environment   B. couldn’t make a success of living

C. felt free because he was doing what he loved   D. felt a pity for beginning new life

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Life in a Business World.   B. Money Is Success.

C. Stick to Something in Your Life.   D. Learning Music in Europe.

27、   The store was closing for the night. Young Alfred Higgins, the shop assistant, was ready to go home. Mr. Carr stared at him and said, “Hold on, Alfred. Maybe you’d be good enough to take the things out of your pockets and leave them here before you go.” Alfred’s face got red. After a few seconds, he took out what he had stolen. Mr. Carr said, “Maybe I should call your mother and let her know I’m going to have to put you in prison.”

Alfred thought his mother would come rushing in, eyes burning with anger. But, to his surprise, she arrived wearing a smile. “Hello, I’m Alfred’s mother. Is he in trouble?” she said. Mr. Carr was surprised, too. He had expected Alfred’s mother to come in nervously, shaking with fear, asking with wet eyes for a pardon for her son. But no, she was calm, quiet and pleasant and was making Mr. Carr feel guilty. Soon Mr. Carr was shaking his head in agreement with what she was saying. “You are right” he said, “Sometimes, a little good advice is the best thing for a boy at certain times in his life, and it often takes the youth long time to get sense into their heads.” And he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins’s hand.

Back home, without even looking at Alfred, the mother said, “You are a bad luck. It is one thing after another, always has been. Why do you stand there so stupidly? Go to bed. “In his bedroom, Alfred just took pride in his mother’s strength. He felt he must tell her how great she was. As he got to the kitchen, he was shocked by what he saw. His mother was lifting the tea cup, her hand shook, and her face became a frightened, broken one. It was no longer cool, bright as he saw earlier in the store. With her lips moving nervously, she looked so old.

Alfred watched his mother and he wanted to cry. He realized all the troubles he brought to his mother. It seemed that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother, especially shaking hands and the deep lines of worry in her gray face. He knew his youth coming to an end.

【1】Mr. Carr felt guilty because ________.

B.You know, it takes time for a youth to truly grow.

C.How can you treat my son like that!

D.If he is in jail, it won’t do you any good, either.

【3】The phrase “his mother’s strength” refers to Mrs. Higgins’s ________.

A.trust to her son Alfred B.attitude (态度) towards laws

C.calmness and communicating skills D.greatness as a woman

【4】Which of the following is TRUE ?

A.Alfred’s mother cared for his future but never made him know of it.

【5】After the incident, young Alfred would probably ________.

28、   In difficult times, there are always individuals who step up and bring people hope and confidence. Zhong Nanshan is one of these heroes who 【1】(make) great contributions during the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia(NCP) (新冠肺炎).

Growing up in a family of doctors, Zhong lives by a simple motto (信条) : save lives and always be honest. In 2003, when SARS hit China, he volunteered 【2】(treat) patients and asked his colleagues (同事) to send their most serious cases to him. After months of work, his treatment plan for SARS 【3】(accept) by China and then the whole world, saving thousands of lives.

Seventeen years later, Zhong is once again 【4】(lead) an expert team to study the novel coronavirus. "Please don't travel to Wuhan unless it's absolutely necessary, "Zhong Nanshan reminded the public when the novel coronavirus first 【5】(hit) Wuhan. But he, 84, rushed on an overnight train to Wuhan on Jan 18 while the patients there 【6】(wait) for a proper treatment. Two days later, he became the first expert to make certain that the new virus 【7】(be) spread between humans. Under his guidance, his team developed a rapid test kit (快速检测试剂盒) for the disease that can show results within 15 minutes. Although this new virus is known to be more dangerous to the elderly, Zhong 【8】(not seem) worried about his own safety.

Zhong's image and messages 【9】(go) through social media right now. Many people say they "trust every word of Zhong". He has given Chinese people confidence in winning the battle. He is a real hero and we surely 【10】(remember) his great contribution forever!
