21、Erin Brockovich grew up in Kansas, USA. She studied at a business college for a year, and then she went to California.

In 1990, when she was thirty years old, she had a car accident. A law firm (律师事务所) helped her after the accident, so she started to work for them later.

Her job was to organize papers (文件). One day Erin realized that there were lots of very sick people in a place called Hinkley. She felt it was unusual, so she started to look for more information about the town.

Erin worked very hard for five years. She visited lots of sick people in Hinkley and listened to their stories. All the sick people lived near a big factory called Pacific Gas and Electric. Then she discovered that there was something called chromium in the water they drank. It was from the factory and Erin believed that the people were sick because of the chromium in their drinking water. She planned to help them.

Erin started a law case (诉讼) against Pacific Gas and Electric. The factory wasn’t happy about this. They didn’t agree that the people were ill because of the water — but in 1996 the judge (法官) ordered Pacific Gas and Electric to pay the people in Hinkley $500,000 each.

22、   When I was about 12, I had an enemy (敌人), a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings (缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin; I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark (标记) the points that are true. Pay no attention (注意力) to the other things she said.”

I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found that about half the things were true. Some of them couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could-and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to a very clear picture of myself.

I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty (职责). Don’t close your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”

B.He criticized (批评) her and told her to change all her shortcomings.

C.He told her to write down all her “enemy” said about her and pay attention just to the things that were true.

【3】Why did the writer feel surprised?

A.Because she could change many of her shortcomings.

23、   Have you ever jumped on a trampoline? Today many people use it for exercise.

Actually, trampolining has many advantages. It helps bones grow and improves your balance. It helps your body get rid of harmful things. Trampolining has benefits similar to those of running, but without too much stress on knees.

It's easy to find an inexpensive trampoline, but it should be well­made and strong enough to support your weight. To avoid accidents, some trampolines have a safety net around them. Remember: whenever you are on a trampoline, be careful not to jump near the edge of it.

Here are a few exercises for beginners：

There are many more exercises you can try. Happy trampolining!

25、

Ears are part of your body. Have you noticed the size and shape of your 【1】 before? The size and shape of your ears show your character(性格) more than other parts of the face. Other parts of the face change shape as we get 【2】, but ears do not change their shape with the age. They only change in size.  Judging(判断) people’s character【3】 their ears is a very old science.
