21、There once lived a rich businessman who had a lazy son. The businessman wanted his son to realize the value of labor.

One day, he told his son, “Today, I want you to earn something. If you fail, you won’t have your meal tonight.”

The boy didn’t want to find a job, so he asked his mother for help. She gave him a gold coin. In the evening, when the father asked his son what he had earned, the son showed him the gold coin. The father then asked him to throw it into the well (水井). The son did as he was told.

The father guessed that the gold was from the boy’s mother. The next day, he sent his wife to her parents’ home and asked his son to earn something.

As he returned home and gave the coin to his father, he was asked to throw it into the well. The boy cried, “Dad! My body is aching. I’m tired.

22、Edith Nesbit was born in London in 1858. Sadly, her father died when she was only four years old. She grew up with two sisters and three brothers in a house in the country. The children had many happy experiences as they explored the gardens, forests, and the railway tracks near their home. When Nesbit was fourteen years old, she began to write poems.

Nesbit got married at the age of eighteen. The couple was poor, and Nesbit began to write stories to make money. Many of her stories came from her childhood memories. For example, many of the characters and places in the story The Railway Children came from Nesbit’s own childhood. At first, she used the name “E. Nesbit” because she did not want people to know that she was a woman. A long time ago, people thought that only men could be good writers. Later, Nesbit became proud of who she was. She even cut her hair short. It was very unusual at that time.

The Railway Children is one of her most famous stories and one of the most popular children’s stories in England. It was first published in 1905. Since then, it has been translated into many different languages and made into plays and movies. Most recently, in 2000, it was made into a TV movie in England.

23、   How green are you? Do you know how to be green?

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.

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 buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.

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(瓷器)cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.

Recycle

Recycle means “change things into something else”. Though 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 neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

So please remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.

【1】What is the passage about?

A.How to produce things. B.How to burn things.

C.How to help others. D.How to be green.

【2】Which of the following is RIGHT?

A.Don't waste things. B.Always throw away old things.

C.Always buy new things. D.Buy too many things from abroad.

【3】Why is it better to use a china cup and a lunch box?

A.You can burn them. B.You can use them again.

C.You can throw them away. D.You can change them into something else.

【4】To protect the environment, we should remember these three words: ________.

A.waste, reuse and recycle B.repair, burn and recycle

C.reduce, reuse and recycle D.reduce, waste and recycle

【5】The passage may come from ________.

A.a menu B.a dictionary C.a storybook D.a magazine

24、When you want to go somewhere, you can easily find your way by using a map app on your smartphone. Your smartphone “knows” where you are and can tell you where to go.

This is possible with the help of satellite navigation（satnav）systems. A satnav system uses groups of satellites to find out where people are. It sends information to a receiver, such as a smartphone. The more satellites a system has, the more accurate（精确的）it is.

On June 23, the last satellite of China’s Beidou Navigation Satellite System was launched into space. Beidou, China’s own satnav system, was finally completed. It is one of four global navigation systems, along with US’s GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo.

On July 31, Beidou started providing full-scale global services（全面的全球服务）. More than 120 countries and regions（地区）are now using Beidou services.

Since 2000, China has launched 59 Beidou satellites. Beidou can be used in areas that include farming, public services and business. It has a positioning（定位）accuracy of under 10 meters.

Beidou also has a special messaging ability. It allows people to send text messages up to 1,200 Chinese characters in length when mobile phone services are interrupted（中断）by natural disasters.

It takes a long time to build our own satnav system. The hard work behind Beidou is hard to imagine. Although some countries looked down on us, we prefer to face difficulties and work harder than any other country. We win respect from our achievements and diligence. Scientists are always confident and patient to overcome any difficulty.

【1】What does a satnav system do?

A．It helps people plan trips.

B．It helps people navigate.

C．It lets people send text messages.

D．It makes people’s phones smarter.

【2】What do we know about Beidou?

A．It started working on June 23.

B．It only works in China.

C．It will have more satellites in the future.

D．Its newest satellites are more accurate.

【3】Beidou is the_________ global navigation system.

A．first

B．second

C．third

D．fourth

【4】What’s the best title for this passage?

A．Beidou is used in smartphone!

B．The hard work behind Beidou!

C．China’s Beidou is finally here!

D．Beidou’s special messaging ability!

25、   We got to the park by 【1】. First, we had 【2】on Space Mountain----an indoor roller coaster in the【3】. It moved at high speed and was really exciting. We were 【4】and laughing【5】the ride.

A beggar was sitting in a train station. In front of him was a bowl full of pencils. An old man passed by and d【6】a dollar in the bowl. He then got on the train. Before the door closed, something came to his m【7】. He went back to the beggar, took some pencils and said."After all, you are a businessman and so am I.” Then he left.

Six months later, the old man went to a party. The beggar was also there in a suit and a tie. The beggar recognized the old man, went up to him, and said," You may not recognize me but I r【8】  you.”  He then told the old man what had happened six months before at the train station. The old man said. "Well, you have made me think of that day. You were begging at that time. What are you doing here in your suit and tie? The beggar answered, "You may not know what you did for me that day. I【9】 of giving me charity, you treated me with dignity. You took some pencils and said, "After all, you are a businessman and so am I. ' After you left, I asked myself, "What am I doing here? Why am I begging? Then I decided to do something meaningful. I packed my bag, started working and now here I am. Thank you for giving me back my dignity. That day changed my life.”

This is the m【10】of dignity in our life.
