21、   The quick action of Nick helped five people escape a fire on Hope Road. Nick said he usually left his house about 5:30 a.m. to do morning exercises, but that day he decided to stay at home to get his daughter ready for school. As he looked at his neighbor’s house, he realized that it was on fire. “I saw smoke and flames and ran over and started beating on the side of the house, shouting, ‘Your house is on fire! Your house is on fire!’” Nick remembered it was at about 9 a.m. that the firefighters put out the fire.

Beverly Penny and her husband, Clark, along with their younger daughters, were sleeping in the living room next to the kitchen when they heard Nick beating on the walls.

Firefighters got the call at about 7:05 a.m. “When we arrived with our fire trucks, there were heavy flames outside on the house.” Jerry said. He called Nick a hero, saying that without his quick responses, the result could have been much worse. “The firefighters were fast,” Nick said, “They arrived here within about three minutes.”

“They did a great job and I can’t thank them enough.” Penny said, then looked at what remained in the house and shook her head as tears rolled down in her eyes. “Everything I have is gone.

22、   Do you love swimming? How about riding a bike? Does running make you happy? Have you ever combined (混合) the three activities into one race? If you have, then you know all about the triathlon (铁人三项).

In February 1974, a group of sports officials gathered in a bar in the Hawaiian Islands to argue: which sports in the world is the most exciting and challenging to test a person's will and strength? Some said it was football, some said it was swimming across the sea, and some said it was long-distance cycling, mountaineering marathons and so on. They expressed their opinions and argued. In the end, Brigadier General John Collins said: who can swim 3.8 kilometers in the rough (风大浪急的) sea in one day, ride a bicycle 180 kilometers around the island, and finally run the 42.195 kilometers Honolulu Marathon. Collins's idea was supported by everyone, so 15 people took part in the game the next day, including one female player. As a result, the race was completed. Such a new type of sports was born in this adventurous situation.

After the birth of the Triathlon in Hawaii, it was at first popular only in Hawaii and California, and gradually spread widely in Australia, New, Zealand, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, and China. A triathlon involves three activities. They are swimming, cycling and running. Competitors (比赛者) race in order as one continuous (连续的) event without resting.

The triathlon dates back to the 1920s in France. At that time, a race called "Les Trois Sports" challenged competitors to swim across a river, ride a bike for 12 kilometers and run for three kilometers.

The modern triathlon got its start in America in the 1970s. It first appeared in Olympic history at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. The Olympic triathlon consists of (由……组成) a 1.5- kilometer swim, a 40-kilometer bike ride and a 10-kilometer run.

If you're not ready for an Olympic triathlon, don't worry. Triathlons come in different lengths. There are mini triathlons designed for beginners. They consists of a 0.8-kilometer swim, a 24.1-kilometer bike ride and a 4.8- kilometer run. Do you want to have a try?

【1】Which activity is not included in a triathlon?

A. Swimming. B. Skiing. C. Cycling. D. Running.

【2】Where did the modern triathlon get its start in the 1970s?

A. In Canada. B. In Australia. C. In America. D. In France.

【3】How many kilometers does a competitor ride in a bike in an Olympic triathlon?

23、   In the future, we could all work and live in buildings with their own ecosystems (生态系统). They are made to produce more energy than they use.

Toby is an engineer from Europe. He has now made wonderful models, showing what this new building could look like.

He said he was suggested by a kind of tree to create the towers. The Hyperion, found in Northern California, is the tallest tree in the world, reaching 115m. The buildings will be 120m high and have 1,000 homes, offices and working spaces, gyms, restaurants and swimming pools.

24、

June 7th is a big day for students in China if they want to pass the National College Entrance Exam, or Gaokao, to enter a university. Do the students in other countries have the similar pressure (压力) to win university places? Let's have a look.

The students in France can choose between two types of schools: universities and competitive institutes (有竞争力的学院). French universities are open to students if they have passed college entrance exam. But it will be very difficult to get into a competitive institute.

In Japan, there is a National Center Test for University Admissions. Students in Japan have great pressure, because they only have one chance to take the test each year.

CSAT is held in November each year in Korea. On the test day, buses are increased so that the students can get to testing sites on time. If some students are late for the exam, they are even escorted in police cars.

25、American schools begin in September after a long summer holiday. There are two t【1】 in a school year: the first term is from September to J【2】, and the second is from February to June.

Most American children begin to go to school when t【3】 are five years old. Most students are seventeen o【4】 eighteen years old when they finish h【5】 school.

High school students t【6】 only four or five subjects each term. They usually go to the  s【7】class every day, and they have homework for every class. After class, they do m【8】interesting things.
