24、On a rainy day, about 150 volunteers worked for eight hours to clean up Carson Creek that is near a river. About nine tons of trash was taken out from there.
“We did a good job,” said Alan Specter, the organizer of the event. “We’ve planned to come back here one more time. Of course, we hope that there won’t be so much trash next time.”
The trash came in all shapes, sizes and colors: bottles, bicycles, batteries, furniture, clothing, plastic bags, dolls and even a golf bag with a full set of golf clubs (高尔夫球杆).
The dirty and tiring work was done by two volunteering groups—Save the Bay and Watch the Whales. Most of the volunteers came from a local police station and a fire station. And some of them were old people who had already been retired.
That day, it rained a little. All of them wore boots and raincoats. The work took place along a two-mile river with over 500 big yellow trash bags everywhere.
No one found anything that cost much. A five-year-old boy found an earring which he thought might be worth a million dollars. He said he’d sell it. Then he’d donate half of the money to Watch the Whales, and use the other half to buy his favorite ice-cream every day.
Many people laughed at the boy’s story.

25、 I was beginning to grow handsome. My coat was bright and black, I had one white foot and a pretty white star on my forehead. When I was four, Squire Gordon decided to buy me. Then Farmer Grey began to break me in.
Like all horses that have grown up, I had to wear gears (用具). The first is a bit and bridle. I hated wearing a bit in my mouth. It was horrible, like a metal finger between my teeth. The saddle was not so bad. One morning, my master rode me round the meadow. I was proud to carry him, and I soon got used to it. But I didn’t like the iron shoes. They were very stiff and heavy on my feet. But in time I got used to that too.
My mother told me, “There are good men like our master, but there are bad men too. I hope you have good masters. But remember; always do your best.”
Early in May, a man came to take me away to Squire Gordon's house, in the village of Birtwick. My new stable (马厩) was large and comfortable. There was a little fat grey pony next to me. His name was Merrylegs. And I also found a tall chestnut horse at the corner of the stable, quiet.
“That's Ginger," Merrylegs told me. "She bites. One day she bit James, the groom (马夫). She says no one was kind to her before. But James and John, our grooms, are very good to us, and Squire Gordon doesn't whip (鞭打) his horses, so I think she's going to like it here."
The next morning John took me for a ride. On the way back, we met Squire Gordon and Mrs. Gordon.
"Well, John, how does he go?” the Squire asked.
“Excellent, sir." John answered.
Mrs. Gordon said, "He's a beauty. Let's call him Black Beauty."

26、 There was once a little boy with a bad temper (脾气). He often had fights with his friends. One day, his father gave him a bag of nails (钉子) and told him to hammer (敲) a nail into the fence every time he lost his temper. The boy listened to his father and did what his father told him to do.
The first day, the boy drove 17 nails into the fence. Then the number of nails became less and less in the following days. The boy found that it was easier to keep his temper than to drive the nails into the fence. Finally, the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and his father asked him to pull out one nail each time he was able to keep his temper.
The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, “You have done well, son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same as it was before. When you say some words in anger, your bad temper will leave a scar just like the hole. Even if you say you’re sorry, the wound is still there. If you hurt a person with words, the wound is as bad as a physical one. Friends are rare jewels (稀有珍宝). They make you smile and feel happy. So never hurt your friends.”
Since then the boy had never fought with his friends. He learned how to get on with others and he never lost his temper again.
【1】What did the father ask the little boy to do each time he lost his temper?

C.Lose your temper when you are angry. D.We should keep our temper and get on well with others.
27、 In June last year, I had an opportunity to do volunteer work in a small village which is located in northern Australia, far from the cities. Living there is an experience that cannot be fully defined in just words. Although the people of this small village are short of the much material wealth that most of us in big cities have, their positive(积极的) outlook on life is comparable to what we have.
The small village suffered a natural disaster(灾难)about two years ago. Many people lost their material belongings and their houses. Soon after the disaster, families had to live under one roof in houses that were suitable for just- one family. Instead of feeling bottled in, the people felt more of sense of belonging when families had to live together in such conditions. They banded together to help each other in rebuilding their houses.
It was still beyond my understanding how family took priority (优先) over anything else. If someone is in need, the family will provide any support needed. In cities, it is said that “Houses are getting bigger, while homes are getting smaller”. In this small village, the home will always remain big. Children are taught from an early age that family is worth more than any material wealth that they will come across. They pass the value to their kids, and the cycle continues in keeping family values.
I still remember on the third day I arrived in the small village, two elders wanted to adopt me into their tribe(宗族). As part of that process, I was given a Spirit Totem, and was told that I officially belonged to their tribe. One of the elders explained, “No one is a stranger here. You come here, and you become part of us! Can you imagine if we had that outlook in every small village or on every street on earth?
Leaving this small village was challenging for me indeed. Not only did my outlook change, but my understanding of how life can be defined in different ways took a turn for the better

A. People in cities don’t live positively
B. People in that village live a very poor life.
C. The people in that small village are hopeful about the future.
D. The writer didn’t want to do volunteer work there.
【2】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 most likely refer to?
A. Especially excited. B. Badly ill.
C. very crowded. D. seriously scared.
【3】What can be the most important in the eyes of the people there?

Imagine one day the water taps in your house stop running. You have to buy 【1】 from shop. You mother has to save the family’s shower water to do 【2】 ['ʌðə] things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?
Probably not. But that’s what kids in Yemen are 【3】 (experience). Experts said Yemen is going to be the 【4】 (one) country in the world to run out of water. According to a report, the capital, Sana, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.
Because of the 【5】 (short), the water company often cuts the water supply. Hannan, 【6】 18-year-old girl from Lahej, told Times: “In a good week we’ll have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.”
Hannan said only 【7】 people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water trucks. Private 【8】 (company) own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water — at very high prices. “A lot of people can’t 【9】 [ə'fɔ:d] it,” she said.
The 【10】 ['gʌənmənt] is thinking of making use of sea water. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.
