24、Recently, Chengdu Shishi Union Middle School in Sichuan held an activity. It asked students to tell the stories of their family heirlooms (传家宝). More than 300 students took part. They brought photos of their heirlooms to school and shared their stories.

25、One day I got in a taxi, and we left for the airport. We were driving in the right lane(车道)when, suddenly, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver stopped his car at once. The tire(轮胎) made a very loud noise, and at the very last moment our car stopped just one inch from the back of the other car.
I was frightened. But then I couldn’t believe what happened next. The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, turned his head and started yelling at us. I couldn’t believe it! But my taxi driver just smiled at the guy. So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost sent us to hospital.”
This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, “The Law of the Rubbish Truck(垃圾车法则).” He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of rubbish, full of anger . As their rubbish piles up, they look for a place to throw it away and sometimes they’ll throw it at you. Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wish them well, and move on. Don’t take their rubbish and spread it to other people at work, at home or on the streets.
Successful people never let rubbish trucks change their moods(心情). Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets(遗憾), so love those who love you and pray(祈祷)for those who don’t.

26、When we think of the Olympic, a few things come to mind immediately: the sportsmen and sportswomen marching (齐步走) in during the opening ceremonies (开幕式), proudly carrying their country’s flag; the exciting awarding (颁发) of gold, silver and bronze (铜牌) medals to winners; the torch (火炬) and other unforgettable Olympic moments. Yet there is no greater symbol for the Olympics than the Olympic rings (环).
Have you ever wondered about the five rings used to symbolize the Olympics and what its colors may mean? Here’s an inside look at what the Olympic rings symbolize and their history.
The Olympic rings are a symbol nearly as old as the Games themselves. The first Olympics was held in 1896. Pierre de Coubertin, a French historian and the founder of the International Olympic Committee (国际奥委会), created the rings in 1913. He drew the coloured rings at the top of a letter he had written.
The five rings stand for the union (联合) of five parts of the world - Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania and America. And according to the IOC, “the Olympic symbol shows the activity of the Olympic Movement (运动) and the meeting of sportsmen and sportswomen from all over the world at the Olympic Games.” In addition, the five rings must be the same in size. This is meant to show the idea that all of the world’s continents (大洲) are equal (相等的) at the Games.
Traditionally, the Olympic rings appear in five different colours on a white background. The colours of the rings from left to right are blue, yellow, black, green and red. Unlike the popular belief, the five colours of the Olympic rings do not directly stand for individual (个别的) continent. Instead, the five, colours, along with white, were chosen because at least one of them appeared on all the national flags at the time when Coubertin created the design (设计).
Since 1912, many more countries have taken part in the Olympic Games. After more than a century, the Olympic rings remain a powerful symbol of the event (赛事).
【1】When was the first Olympics held?
A．In 1896.
B．In 1912.
C．In 1913.
D．In 1921.
【2】What do the five rings stand for?
A．The union of five parts of the world.
B．The activity of the Olympic Movement.
C．The other unforgettable Olympic moments.
D．The meeting of players from all over the world.
【3】The five rings must be the same in ________.
A．shape
B．size
C．style
D．value
【4】Who created the design of the Olympic rings?
A．A foreign artist.
B．A sportswoman.
C．Pierre de Coubertin.
D．A famous writer.
【5】What is the best title of the passage?
A．The Parts of the World
B．The Winner of the Events
C．The Different Colours of the Flags
D．The Meaning of the Olympic Rings
27、Reading is the key to school success and, like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practises until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking. Educators call it “automaticity”.
A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase. With automaticity, he doesn’t have to think about the meaning of words. So he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.
It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.
According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount of time a child spends reading, not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.
You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice.
【1】“Reading is the key to school success” means that reading ________.
A．helps school develop faster
B．is a key to a successful school
C．helps students go to a key school
D．can improve students’ learning results
【2】Children with “automaticity” can read faster because they ________.
A．know how to read the words
B．do not have to think while reading
C．read by themselves without any help
D．pay attention to the meaning of the text
【3】Rossman tells that any child who ________ will possibly be an automatic reader.
A．turns off TV one night for 4 weeks
B．thinks about the meaning of the words
C．spends an hour reading every day
D．gets the same grades as others in exams
【4】The best title for the passage is “________”.
A．IQ Is the Key to the Automaticity.
B．TV Is Bad for Children’s Reading.
C．Automaticity Depends on Practice
D．Automaticity Readers Will Be Successful
28、阅读下面短文，根据上下文、 所给首字母或括号内单词等提示，在空白处填入适当的单词。 每个空只能填一个单词。
Ancient books can take us back to the past. However, exposing (暴露) them in air does no good to the fragile (脆弱的) pages. Ding Feng, an ancient book restorer (修复师) of the Nanjing Library, made replicas (仿制品) to s【1】 the problems.
Ding has made hundreds of ancient book replicas. They i【2】 books from old temples (寺庙) and the imperial examination paper of Gao E. Gao is k【3】 for writing the last 40 chapters of Dream of the Red Chamber (《红楼梦》). Gao’s paper also has the signatures (签名) of Ji Xiaolan and Heshen. Ding’s 【4】 (big) replica is a three meter long exam paper from the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). It’s of a first-place winner in the imperial examinations for military personnel (在科举考试中).
“We are one of the first 【5】 (library) in China to make ancient book replicas,” said Ding,“Many replicas are shown 【6】 different museums so more people can know about ancient books. They also help p【7】 the original (真迹的) ones ”
Making a replica 【8】 (need) many skills. First, the restorer scans (扫描) the book pages one by one. Then they put them together and adjust (调试) the colors u【9】 design software. Finding the right paper for the replica is not easy. Sometimes they even dye (染) the paper to get the best color and texture (质感). What’s more, restorers need to r【10】 know the history and cultural background of the books.
A restorer brings old books back to life by making replicas.
29、Saving the fire victims who cannot run away: Australia’s koalas
The victims were carried in one by one, their paws burned and fur singed (烧焦), suffering from fear. Doctors dealt with their wounds and laid them in baskets with the only thing that they live on-the _________ of a eucalyptus tree (桉树).
As terrible fires have burned more than 2 million acres in Australia, dozens of koalas have been saved from burning trees and ashen ground.
“They are _________,” said Cheyne Flanagan, the director of the Koala Hospital in Port Macquarie.
About 50 miles south of the hospital, in Taree, one family has turned their home into a koala rehabilitation center (康复中心). There, each of 24 koalas is _________ a name on its basket. For them, it is a slow road to recovery in the couple’s living room.
Koalas, _________ kangaroos, birds or snakes, do not run away from fires but instead climb up trees to the canopy (树荫), where they can curl themselves into a ball for _________ and wait for the danger to pass.
As a result, during fires, such as those that have burned in recent weeks, koalas are far _________ likely to survive. Even if the fire itself does not reach the tree canopy, koalas may overheat and fall to the ground, where they can be burned to death.
The difficult situation of the koala-a national symbol of Australia-has raised questions among conservationists and scientists about what it will take to preserve biodiversity (生物多样性) in a country.
_________ koalas have evolved (进化) to get through wildfires, they are facing new dangers not just from climate change but also from human development. “We have these unique animals not found _________ else on this planet, and we’re killing them,” Flanagan said. “This is a big wake-up call.”
