25、请阅读下面短文，根据短文内容从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

From my father I have learned a lot. And I’m very thankful to him. I remember when I was a child my father always got up very early, quietly putting on his clothes and going off to work. To arrive in time to open his tiny store at 8:30, he needed to leave our apartment at 6:30. after all, he had to take a bus and then the subway. The last journey was a long walk through a neighborhood much of which was full of the smell of rubbish. I learned it was very important to work. No excuse.

When I was 12, I would, on some Saturdays, go to my father’s store to help out. After helping set up the outside clothing display, for the rest of the day, I’d watch to make sure no one stole anything. When I noticed someone looking unusual or strange, I would look the person in the eye, smile and say, “May I help you?” Usually that worked , but sometimes, someone would run off with something. The first time, I ran after the thief but my father shouted, “Martin, stop! There is no need to do that.” It’s true that safety is more important than money.

After 10 years of hard work, he saved up enough money to buy his first car, a cheap one--- he wouldn’t buy one until he could afford to pay for it without borrowing money. I learned you should buy only what you can afford. Buying necessary food and clothing won’t make us go in debt(债务). The unnecessary things won’t give us happiness, which comes from achievement only.

26、In the middle of the first term of school， the whole seventh grade was tested for basic skills. Steve hurried through his tests， and continued to dream of other things. His heart was not in school， but in the woods.

One day， Miss White’s voice broke into his daydreams. “Steve! Listen carefully!” Steve turned to look at her， fixing his eyes on Miss White， as she began to go over the test results for the seventh grade.

“You all did pretty well，” she told the class， “except for one boy， and it breaks my heart to tell you this， but...” She hesitated， her eyes searching his face. “...The smartest boy in the seventh grade is failing my class!” She just stared at Steve. Steve dropped his eyes.

After that， it was war! Steve still wouldn’t do his homework. Even as the punishments became more serious， he was still stubborn.

“Just try it! ONE WEEK!” He was unmoved.

“You’re smart enough! You’ll see a change!” Nothing touched him.

“Give yourself a chance! Don’t give up on your life!” Nothing.

“Steve! Please! I care about you!”

Wow! Suddenly， Steve got it! Someone cared about him! Steve went home from school， thoughtful， that afternoon. Walking into the house， both parents were out. He， quickly， gathered up a jar of peanut butter， a loaf of bread， a bottle of water， and this time...his schoolbooks.

The following Monday he arrived at school on time， and he waited for Miss White to enter the classroom. She walked in， all smiles! God， she was beautiful!

From that moment nothing was the same for Steve. Life at home was the same， but life still changed. He discovered that not only could he learn， but he was good at it!

27、Scientists are making an effort to find out how our feelings are affected. How you feel is decided by many things, such as your personality (性格) and the actions of others. You may be surprised to know the weather can also affect your feelings.

People often say they feel good when it’s sunny and sad when it’s cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel happy. When sunlight hits our skins, our bodies produce vitamin D (维生素D). Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical which affects our brains and makes us happy. For example, the winter in Sweden and Norway is long and dark with little sunlight, so many people there often feel sad. To help the people in these countries feel happier, special “sunrooms” are built for people to get “sunlight” for an hour or two!

The weather can affect our feelings in other ways as well. Rain can make people angry because being wet makes people unhappy. In the same way, hot weather can make people angry because people don’t feel comfortable when feeling hot. As you can see, the weather can influence the chemicals which control our brains. Through these ways, the weather can affect our feelings. Sadly, while the weather can change us, we cannot change the weather.

【1】Why does sunlight make us feel happy?

A．Because sunlight hits our skins and we feel warm.

B．Because people can get “sunlight” in special “sunrooms”.

C．Because vitamin D helps make a special chemical which affects our brains and makes us happy.

D．Because vitamin D affects our brains and makes us happy.

【2】What is the purpose of special “sunrooms” in Sweden and Norway?
