24、   For many American university students, the weeklong spring break holiday means an endless party on a sunny beach. In Panama City Beach, Florida, a city with a population of around 36,000, more than half a million university students arrive during the month of March to play and party, making it hit number one spring break place in the United Stated.

A weeklong party is not everyone, however, and a growing number of American university students have found a way to make spring break matter. For them, joining or leading a group of volunteers to help solve problems such as homelessness or pollution makes spring break a special learning experience that university students can feel good about.

During one spring break week, students from James Madison University in Virginal took part in 15"spring break" trips to nearby states, three others to more distant parts of the United States, and five international trips. One group of JMU students traveled to Bogalusa, Louisiana, to help rebuild homes damaged by Hurricane(飓风) Katrina. Another group traveled to Mississippi to organize creative activities for children living in a homeless shelter. One group of students did go to Florida, but not to lie on the sand. They performed some tiring work such as keeping hiking roads in good condition and helping protect the native Florida plants.

Students who take part in spring break projects find them very rewarding(值得的). While most university students have to get their degrees before they can start helping people, student volunteers are able to help people right now. On the other hand, the buildings or rooms where they live or stay are far from attractive(迷人的). Students often sleep on the floor of a school or church. But they only pay around $250 for meals and transportation, which is much less than some of their friends spend traveling to more traditional spring break hot places.

Spring break projects appear to be growing in popularity at universities across the United States. Some students take the opportunity to meet new friends. Others want to exercise their beliefs to make the world a better place. Whatever their reasons, these students have discovered something that give them rich rewards along with a break from school work.

【1】How many university students travel to Panama Beach City every March for spring break?

A.around 36,000 B.over 1,000,000 C.about 50,000 D.over 500,000

【2】What does the underlined word “matter”in the second paragraph mean?

A.a serious problem B.a subject or a situation

C.be important and meaningful D.be relaxing

【3】Which of the following is mentioned as a reason for joining in spring break trips?

A.a personal opinion that people must help others

B.a wish to travel to interesting places

C.a wish to get away from family and friends

D.a hope to make more money

【4】What is the best title for the article?

A.Different Activities for University Students

B.A Weeklong Party for Spring Break

C.Different Kinds of Spring Break

D.Take Spring Break Trips to Florida

25、Yesterday my grandpa told me about his early days. When he left school at the age of 20, he found a job in a post office. He worked hard in the post office. Soon he had more money than his friends because of his hard work. It seemed that his future would be bright.

When he was 25 years old, however, he began to dislike his job. He wanted a more exciting one, so he left the post office. Two months later he found a new job in a big company. Workers in this company usually traveled a lot. At first he really enjoyed the traveling. But after a year, he began to hate it. He had to move around and he was always in a car or on a train. The worst thing was that he couldn’t make any new friends. Even so, his boss was not satisfied with him. Two years later he left the company.

He was poor at that time so he sold his house. He had to do a part-time job in a book shop. He was surprised to find that he loved it. He made new friends every day and he enjoyed reading books. Three years later, he married the shop owner’s daughter. Soon they had their first child. In the next ten years, they had another two children and three more book shops. He became very rich indeed.

“Life is wonderful,” he told me. “The most important thing is that you should always try your best. Never give up!”

根据短文内容判断正误（正确的选A，错误的选B）

【1】The other day, the writer heard the story about his grandpa.

【2】Grandfather tried three different kinds of jobs in less than ten years.

【3】The part-time job in the book shop changed grandfather’s life and he became rich at last.

【4】The main reason why grandfather left the company was that the boss disliked him.

【5】From the passage, we know that the secret to success is not to give up friends easily.

26、   I always think my daughter Kendall is the best—that's just what parents do. When she was only three, she sang for the people, like a little angel.

When Kendall was five, we noticed that she sometimes had a tic (面部抽搐). When the problem got worse, we took her from doctor to doctor. During the treatment, Kendall continued to sing. Surprisingly, her tics disappeared when she sang.

When Kendall was sixteen, we thought she would be cured soon. However, a terrible thing happened.

At a party, Kendall jumped on a friend for a piggyback ride. He bent lower than she expected, and she jumped higher than he expected. Kendall flew over his back and landed on the floor—on her neck. She was rushed to hospital, paralyzed(瘫痪) from the neck down. She couldn't move. But her biggest worry wasn't whether she would walk again, but was whether she could try out for a show called American Idol.

As the days went on, feeling on her left side returned, but she was still paralyzed on the right. We weren't sure how much of her movement would come back. A friend brought a microphone and put it on her bed. Every day, Kendall tried hard to pick it up. It was more important for her to pick up that microphone than a spoon or fork.

Sometimes she had to bite a toothbrush to take her mind off the pain. We all cried because of the pain we witnessed. But on the day—only three months after her accident—we cried full of joy when she sang, though she didn't enter the Top 24 of American Idol.

When she was a little girl, she asked me why it was she that had tics. My heart hurt, but I told her, "Kendall, you have a pure heart, a fantastic voice, a strong mind. And you are a beautiful presence.”

【1】When did they notice that Kendall sometimes had a tic?

A.When she was five. B.When she was sixteen.

C.When she sang. D.When she saw the doctor.

【2】What was a surprise during the treatment in Paragraph 2?

A.She had a tic. B.Her tics disappeared when she sang.

C.She was cured soon. D.She sang for the people.

【3】Why was it more important for Kendall to pick up that microphone than a spoon or fork?

A.Because Kendall loved singing.

B.Because Kendall didn't like a spoon or fork.

C.Because Kendall's friend brought the microphone for her.

D.Because that microphone was more beautiful for her than a spoon or fork.

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A.An American Idol.

B.A paralyzed girl.

C.The girl who had a tic.

D.A beautiful girl.

27、When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was disabled and very short. When we walked together, people would stare at us.

Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work. He almost never missed a day. He would make it to the office even if others could not. It was a matter of pride for him.

He never felt sad for himself or envied (嫉妒) other people who could walk normally. What he looked for in others was a good heart. To him, that mattered more than anything else.

My father still tried to do the same things as others did, even if he couldn’t do them the same way. For example, he liked to go to dances and parties, where he could have a good time just sitting and watching instead of dancing.

I now know he took part in some things through me, his only son. When I played basketball (poorly), he “played” too. When I joined the army, he “joined” too. When I visited his office, he would introduce me, but he was really saying, “This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different.”

He has been gone for many years now. I wonder if he ever noticed that I was embarrassed to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry that I never told him how sorry I feel. I think of him when I find myself envying others—when I don’t have a good heart.

【1】What made the father feel especially proud?

A．He drew lots of love from other people.

B．He almost never missed a day at the office.

C．His son sent him to the office every day.

D．He could walk with his son.

【2】What did the father think of his situation?

A．He didn’t envy people who could walk normally.

B．He wanted people to understand him

C．He could always do things the same way as others.

D．He sometimes felt sorry for himself.

【3】What does the father mean by saying “if things had been different”?

A．If he could join the army.

B．If the rules were different.

C．If he was not disabled.

D．If he was treated well.

【4】What can we infer about the author from the text?

A．His father has been gone for many years.

B．He feels sorry for being embarrassed.

C．He doesn’t have a good heart.

D．He still feels embarrassed to have his dad.

Today, people are using and abusing (虐待) their eyes more than people were twenty years ago. There are fewer and fewer people who have those bright, shiny and happy baby eyes. Most people, e【1】young people, have tired eyes with dark circles around them because they look at the computer screen and watch TV too much. Here are some simple tips on taking care of your eyes:
