22、 My father woke me up early one summer morning when I was fourteen and said: “Get up, you’re going with me to cut the grass in the garden.”
The idea that my father thought I was old enough to help him in his business (生意) made me feel proud (骄傲) and excited. From sunrise to sunset, my father, my younger brother and I worked in the large garden, in a rich part of Atlanta, Georgia. By the end of the day I was too tired to say a word but I felt good. This was my first time to help my father in his business. I got $ 6 for my work that day.
One day my father found some leaves I had missed and pulled me aside. “Take away these leaves!” he said seriously, “and don’t make me have to tell you to do it again.” The message was clear. Today I still value(珍视) it , which my father gave to me that day. It will always be helpful to impress (给……留下印象) the person you are working for.
After two years, I left home and went to another town to start my new life. Luckily for me, I quickly found a job to wash dishes in a restaurant. Every morning, I set off early, always with the same strong wish I got long long ago. I felt like I was old enough to be independent and make a living by myself.
In fact, washing dishes was not exciting, but that didn’t matter. It taught me that any job was a good job and whatever I got from the job was more than I had before. I could learn something meaningful from every job and do it better and better. One day, a newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live with hard work and low pay. “If you only think about hard work and money, answered.
In every job, from cutting the grass to washing dishes, I’ve learned much. I’ve learned something that helps me in my next job.

23、 There is nothing worse than being cheated. Now body language expert Judi James tells you the key signs to find out whether someone is telling a lie. Here are some ways to help you.
The long stop: Telling a lie is quite difficult for the body and brain to deal with. First your brain produces the truth. Then, you have to hide the truth and invent a lie. After that, you tell the lie. This often leads to a longer stop before answering.
The eye dart: Humans have more eye expressions than any other animal and our eyes can look around if we're trying to hide something. When we look up to our left, we're often recalling memory. But when our eyes roll up to our right, we are thinking new ideas. Also, the guilt(内疚)of a lie often makes people use an eye contact cut-off gesture, such as looking down or away.
The lost breath: Bending the truth causes a sudden stress response in most people. The mouth dries, the body sweats more, the pulse rate (心率) becomes quick and the rhythm of the breathing changes to shorter, shallower breaths that can often be both seen and heard.
The poker face: Some people prefer to have the poker face, because they think less is more and almost show less movement and eye contact when they are telling lies.
The face hide: When someone tells a lie they often want to hide their face from their audience. This can lead to a cut-off gesture like nose-touch or mouth-cover.
Self-comfort touches: People often move from side to side, touch their hair or play with wedding rings when they have stress. Most people use self-comfort gestures but this will increase greatly when someone is lying.
【1】Why do people have a long stop before telling a lie?
A. Because they have stress.
B. Because they are recalling memory.
C. Because they don't want to say anything.
D. Because they are thinking of a lie instead of the truth.
【2】What may people do if they have the feeling of guilt?
A. Their eyes look around. B. They look down or away.
C. They look up to their left. D. Their eyes roll up to their right.
【3】What may people do when they feel stressful suddenly?
A. They have the poker face. B. They have less movement.
C. Their hearts beat more quickly. D. They have more eye expressions.
【4】How many key signs of telling lies are written in the passage?
A. 4. B. 5. C. 6. D. 7.
【5】The writer wants to tell us…
A. the problem of telling lies. B. the reason why people tell lies.
C. the importance of body language. D. the ways to discover people telling lies.
24、 How green are you? Do you care about protecting the environment and saving energy? We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you. Remember these three words: Reduce, reuse and recycle.
REDUCE
Reduce means “use less.” Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary— or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products (产品)if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad. It may cost a lot of money to bring them to us.
REUSE
Reuse means “use again.” Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
RECYCLE
Recycle means “change things into something else.” Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighborhood and take part in recycling programs. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.
【1】Why is it better to choose local products if possible?
A.Things from abroad do harm to our environment. B.Local products are much cheaper.
C.To choose local products means that we love our country. D.Things from abroad aren’t necessary.
【2】According to the passage, when we find our clothes are out of fashion, what should we do?
A.Throw them away.
B.If they are still suitable, keep them.
C.Clean the floor with them.
D.Give them to others and buy new ones.
【3】What is the helpful activity in our daily life?
A.To shop with plastic bags. B.To use paper cups.
C.To collect old newspapers. D.To burn fallen leaves.
【4】According to the passage, which of the following is RIGHT?
A.We should learn to grow vegetables.
B.People mustn’t produce waste any more.
C.Children are too young to do anything to save energy.
D.The simplest everyday activities are important to protect our world.
【5】Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage?
A.Always buy new things and throw away old ones. B.Use china cups instead of paper cups.
C.Recycle something that can be recycled. D.Think first when we want to buy something.
25、 When my friend Alex told me that he would travel around the world, I felt so 【1】 (surprise). I was afraid that he couldn't a【2】 the trip because it would cost a lot of money.
