24、My mother only had one eye. I hated her, as she was such an embarrassment (难堪)for me. She ran a small shop at a market, selling anything for the money we needed.
One day, my mom came to my school. I threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day, my classmates shouted, “Your mom only has one eye! ’’ and they taunted me. My face turned red.
I wished that my mom would just disappear from this world, so I said to her, “Mom, why don’t you have the other eye? You make me a laughingstock.” She didn’t say anything. Maybe it was because my mom hadn’ t punished me, so I didn’ t think that I had hurt her feelings very badly. I decided to study hard so that I could leave her for the rest of my life. I made it at last. Now I’m living happily as a successful man in another country.
Many years later, I received a letter, which said, “I think my life has been long enough now, but would it be too much to ask if I wanted you to visit me once in a while? I’ m sorry that I am an embarrassment for you. You see, when you were very young, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn’t stand watching you having to grow up with only one eye, so I gave you mine. I was so proud of my son that was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye. I was never angry with you for anything you did. I miss the time when you were still young around me. You mean the world to me. I love you.” I can’t help crying with the letter in my hand.

25、We each have a memory. That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day.
At school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too. But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.

26、It’s that time of year again. The lead-up(前奏)to everyone’s favorite holiday — Christmas!
Usually Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. On this day all the stores open early and offer the best discounts(折扣)to their customers. Interestingly, people push to buy the cheapest products, just a few hours after giving thanks for the things they have.
Usually televisions and laptops are the most popular products on Black Friday. People are willing to wait for hours for their favorite stores to open because they want very much to get the items they need.
This year I decided to go out and grab a bargain(特价商品)at one of these sales, just to see what it is like. After a delicious Thanksgiving meal, I drove to the mall around half an hour before the stores opened. Already there were people lining up and waiting outside. Some had even prepared themselves with tents and hot chocolate to stay warm in the cold weather. I entered the store, but I wasn’t looking for anything specific. I just walked around the store checking out the prices. I bought some cheap clothes, while other people were loading their shopping carts(手推车)with tons of different items.
Some people come to the Black Friday sales for the products, and others come to enjoy the experience. However, some stores can be a little dangerous during Black Friday. Every year there are always some cases of people fighting over the small number of goods. This year Wal-Mart learned its lesson and made the sales last longer. They made sure customers came for the first hour, got what they wanted and then left quickly.
【1】What products sell best on Black Friday?
A. Delicious food. B. Televisions and laptops.

【3】What does the underlined word “loading” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Choosing B. Making C. Filling D. Buying
【4】 Why does the author say some stores can be dangerous?
A. Because the sales last too long indeed.
B. Because the stores can be over-crowded.
C. Because many people are waiting outside.
D. Because there are fewer products than needed.
【5】 What is special about Black Friday?
A. It is a wonderful time to do shopping.
B. It is a good time to enjoy the experience.
C. People are in great need of many things.
D. People have just given thanks for what they have.
27、
English book Animal Farm (1945) tells a story about farm animals. They are fed up with (受够了) Mr Jones, the farmer. He treats them badly, so they decide to kick him off the farm and run the farm themselves.
One day an old pig called Old Major gathers the animals around him. He tells them that all animals should stand together. He says they should take over the farm. They say that all animals are equal.
After they get rid of (摆脱) Mr Jones, two pigs become the leaders of Animal Farm. One pig called Snowball is a great speaker. He has big ideas for Animal Farm. The other leader is a pig called Napoleon. Napoleon is a crafty (狡猾的) animal. He brings together supporters by offering them advantages.
Napoleon makes a war against Snowball and kicks him away from the farm. He turns Snowball into a big enemy. He says that Snowball is working with Farmer Jones and other farmers to do harm to Animal Farm.
But as it turns out it is Napoleon who is working with the enemies of the animals. He joins up with the old human enemies of the animals. But he tells the animals that he is working for them.

28、C. Fill in the blanks with proper words(在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词,首字母已给)
Can you remember where you were and what you were doing on Saturday, July 24, 2010? Probably not. However, at least 80,000 people around the world remember c【1】. They all shot videos about their lives on that particular day and uploaded (上传) them on the Internet. They hoped that their videos could be a p【2】 of a film.
After people had uploaded the videos, two famous directors, Ridley Scott and Kevin Macdonald, chose some videos and remade them into a complete film. It took them more than one year. The r【3】is Life in a Day, a 90-minute documentary (纪录片) about lives of ordinary people. The film starts with people waking up, brushing their teeth and preparing breakfast. Then it shows what people around the world do d【4】 the day.
To make the videos, people were given several basic questions: What do you love most? What do you fear most? Or simply, what’s in your pocket? People could also choose to shoot anything about their d【5】 life. Most of the stories were exciting and interesting.
One brief scene shows a Japanese boy who lives with his father in an apartment. When the boy says good morning to a picture of his mother on a table, we r【6】 his mother has died. The film also introduces us to many other memorable characters: an American soldier, an Afghan news photographer, a shoeshine boy…
The producers also sent about 400 cameras to people in the developing world who might not have heard of the project or were not connected to the Internet.
The film has m【7】 a lot of people, because everything shown in the film is so real and simple. It is about family, children, love, not being alone, not wanting to live through a war, feeling frightened of illness and death. That’s what life is.
29、Last Sunday I went fishing on a lake near my house. ______ setting up my fishing rod (鱼杆) with bait (饵), I sat down on the bank of the lake and waited for my fish. When I felt the fish coming near, I got so excited and pulled the rod back in a hurry. But the fish were so ______ that they ran away quickly. Two hours had passed, I hadn't caught any fish. I got very angry and began to ______ my stuff (东西), preparing to go back home.
Just at the moment, I saw an old man who was sitting near me. I saw a bucket on a stone by the path. To my surprise, there were dozens of fish in his bucket. I went over to him, wanting to learn how he had caught ______.
“Excuse me, but how long have you sat here?” I asked. “About four hours,” he answered with a smile on his face. “Four hours?” I couldn't believe my ______. “Yes. It’s very important to be patient,” the old man said. “I usually sit here and catch fish like this. Don’t consider ______ a tiring sport. Just enjoy looking ______ the beautiful mountains and water while you are waiting for the fish.”
Suddenly, I understood what the old man was saying and learnt how to be patient. I thanked him and then I sat there for half the day, waiting for the fish ______. This time when I felt a fish touching the bait, I didn’t move. Instead, I waited for the right moment to pull it in. Surely I caught it. That ______ I took over 10 fish home. Mum cooked them for dinner. How delicious it was!
In some way, the secret of success is patience. We ______ think waiting is annoying. Adding some seasoning (调料) makes it fun. Your attitude is the most important thing!
