24、   July 16th was a bad day for Mr. Arthur Johnson. In the morning he got out of his home in Santa Barbara, California. It was the start of his summer holidays and he decided to visit friends at Las Vegas. Then he hoped to go fishing in Lane Mead, 40 km from Las Vegas.

Johnson’s troubles started while he was driving happily across the Mojave Desert. His car went wrong and he tried to repair it. Then, to make things worse, his attempts（尝试）to start the car drained(耗尽) the battery and left it useless. After Johnson had waited for an hour in the hot sun, a Canadian driver, Johnson Williams, stopped and tried to help him. When both men failed, Williams promised to telephone a workshop to ask it to send a truck to pull the car away and repair it.

Johnson left the keys in his car and sat under the large tree. Soon he fell asleep. While he was sleeping ,a repair truck arrived from San Pedro(the nearest town) and pulled his car away. Later on, Johnson woke up and thought that somebody had stolen his car. He started to walk back towards San Pedro but a police car stopped him to find out why he was walking in the desert.

Johnson looked like an wanted man in Los Angels for robbery, so the police detained（拘留）him at San Pedro for the night. The next day, Johnson telephoned his friends in Los Angeles. They drove to San Pedro and made the police believe that Johnson was a harmless salesman, so they set him free（释放）.

26、After years of studying human nature, I have found something interesting. Whether you are a successful person or an common person depends on two things—curiosity (好奇心) and discontent (不满足). I have never known a successful man who is short of either. And I have never known an ordinary man who had both. The two belong together.

“The great man.” said Mencius (孟子), “is the person who does not lose the innocent heart of a child.” But most of us lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging things. We just follow the crowd. Luckily, curiosity and discontent don’t have to be learned. We are born with them and only need to keep them awake. How should you start? I think of one friend who couldn’t grow flowers well enough to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. Now she is one of the experts, writing books on flower growing.

▲ You don’t have any special ability? Most people don’t. You don’t have any time? That’s good because things are always done by the people with no time. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom’s Cabin while cooking. You’re too old? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78.

However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, because you’ll never be more alive than you are at this moment.

【1】At the beginning of the passage, the writer leads in the topic by ________.

A．showing a fact

B．giving an example

A．君子莫大乎与人为善。

B．得道者多助，失道者寡助。

C．穷则独善其身，达则兼具天下。

【3】In Paragraph 2, the writer’s friend became an expert probably because ________.

A．she was very curious about the lives of flower-growing experts

B．she wrote many books on flower growing and became famous

C．she kept learning and found the right ways to grow flowers

D．she was better at writing books instead of growing flowers

【4】Which of the following can be put in ▲ ?

A．There are so many problems in getting started.

B．I advise you to think twice before you start.

C．It’s unnecessary to doubt yourself before you start.

28、When you think of a classroom, such w【1】 as “quiet or clean” may come to your mind. But a modern British high school is n【2】 and untidy. Most students don’t wear uniforms and teachers often wear jeans and T-shirts.

Rules in a British classroom are s【3】 to those in Chinese schools. The students mustn’t talk, eat or drink. You can’t leave your seat u【4】 you are asked to. Raise your h【5】when you want to ask a question.

Some British teenagers go to private schools. Discipline(纪律) is b【6】 there, as class sizes are smaller and students usually get more attention. But most teenagers go to p【7】 schools, where they don’t have to pay any money.

However, for many teachers, m【8】pupils obey the rules is hard. The students have different abilities and hobbies. Some may not speak English as their first l【9】.

Can British bring good m【10】back to the classroom? It just might be possible, with the help of a little Harry Potter magic.
