21、   Dogs like living with people. They are very friendly. They can do many things for people.

Some dogs help people to look after sheep, other dogs help them to find the lost children. And some of the dogs can help the blind.

There is a kind of dog whose name is Seeing Eye Dog. Now we can see this kind of dog all over the world. They are working for the blind. The Seeing Eye Dog is strong and easy to train. He helps the blind to walk from place to place. Before a dog becomes a Seeing Eye Dog, he must be in a training school for about three months. First the dog has to learn to sit or stay when he hears the trainer’s call. In his next lesson the dog learns to take his trainer across busy streets. The dog has many things to learn. At the end of the training, he must take tests. When he passes the tests, the Seeing Eye Dog will do things by himself.

Now he can help the blind people. The new master may be a man , a woman or even a child. It takes the dog and his blind master about a month to learn to work and live together.

22、If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak, when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory (记忆) works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance (机会) to become strong.

If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault (过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed (责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write, they have to remember them. Since they cannot write them down in a small notebook, they have to remember days, names, songs and stories. Therefore, their memory is being exercised the whole time.

So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering things in a way as other people do.

【1】Someone can't have a good memory if ________.

A．he can't read or write

B．he doesn't use his memory

C．his parents don't have a good memory

D．he doesn't use his arms or legs for some time

【2】If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, ________.

A．you can't use them any more

B．they will become stronger

C．they become weak but they slowly become strong again

D．they become weak and won't become strong until you use them again

【3】Which of the following is TRUE?

A．Your memory works in the different way as your arms or legs.

B．Your memory becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance for practice.

C．Don't learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory.

D．A good memory comes from less practice.

【4】Few people know that it is only ________ if a friend has a poor memory.

A．his own fault

B．his parents' fault

C．his teachers' fault

D．his grandmother's fault

【5】The writer wants to tell us ________.

A．how to use our arms or legs

B．how to read and write

C．how to have a good memory

D．how to learn from the people

23、When I was a boy my mum used to say I would read the back of a medicine bottle if I didn’t have a book in my hand. It was true, and even now that reading habit has been with me, I always have at least one book being read, sometimes I might have two or three. And I’m talking about real books, books made out of paper, books that you can hold in your hand, to read, at the table, on the subway or my favorite place to read-in the bath.

But the number of people reading books is dropping. A recent survey tells us that Chinese people only read 4.77 printed books a year on average and in the US, 25 percent of the population say they didn’t read a book last year! So what’s stopping people from reading?

The answer of course is the huge influence that technology has had on our life. Why read a book when you can watch a movie or TV play on your smart phones or iPads? For younger people, books may not be as exciting as online games. With stories you have to work at it, closely follow the turns of the plot (情节). There are no shortcuts with a book. You have to turn page after page.

But you can still get lost in a book. We all have this thing called imagination. It’s much more powerful than any computer; in fact, it’s worth remembering that any online game was first written in words as a story by its writer. It’s all about his or her or their imagination.

So we need to read-if we do not read, it will be hard for us to improve our ability to think widely, to have an imagination. Reading is a process in which we need to compare and connect other things we have read and seen in the past. If you do not read, this will not only influence your study, but also your social life in the future.

So why not follow me from now on? Run a hot bath, or find a comfortable chair and read a good book for a few hours-there are quite many, for free, in your local library.

【1】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?

A．The writer used to enjoy playing with a medicine bottle.

B．The writer has had the reading habit since his childhood.

C．The writer always has two or three books in his hand.

D．The writer often reads books at a table on the subway.

【2】The number of people reading books is dropping because ______.

A．books are becoming less interesting

B．technology has greatly influenced our life

C．25% of Americans don’t read books

D．there aren’t enough printed books to read

【3】What does the word “shortcuts” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean in Chinese?

A．捷径

B．理念

C．缺点

D．短文

【4】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A．Reading can help to develop our imagination.

B．All online games were first written in words.

C．We need to think a lot while reading a book.

D．Younger people prefer books to online games.

【5】In the last paragraph, the writer mainly suggests that we should ______.

A．run a hot bath to read books

B．borrow books from the library

C．read more books in our life

D．read books in a comfortable chair

As naughty as Mashimaro: He doesn’t look like a good boy. He has sleepy eyes and looks naughty. He always plays tricks on people. So you get angry with him and don’t like him very much. His mind is active and full of ideas. He tries to be big and catch your eyes. But he’s still a child.
