21、Do you have imagination? Do you like to solve problems? Can you think out of the box? If so, you could be the next great inventor. “But I’m just a kid,” you might say! Don’t worry about a little thing like age. Some of the greatest inventors in the world get their start as kids.
For example, Benjamin Franklin created paddles (桨) for his hands to help him swim faster when he was only 12 years old. His creation led to today’s flippers (橡胶蹼)!
You don’t have to be an adult, a scientist or a genius (天才) to be an inventor. One thing you need is: curiosity and imagination. Kids are known for looking at things in new and unique ways. Sometimes their understanding of things leads to great inventions!
Sometimes inventors come up with completely new things that solve a problem. At other times new inventions are only things that are changed or improved. Then they work better or serve a different purpose.
So what should you do if you have a great idea for an invention? Talk to a friend or family member about it. Ask them to help you create a working model of your idea.
Once you have a working model, you should test it. Sometimes after the test, you may find your idea is not as great as you thought. At other times you realize it is a good idea and your working model can help you work out how to make it better.
If you need some ideas, consider these kids and their inventions:
Frank Epperson invented Popsicles (冰棍) when he was 11. One night he mixed soda powder (苏打粉) and water with a stick. He left it outside all night. The next morning, he found that the stick had frozen (冻结) inside the drink during the cold night.
Chester Greenwood created earmuffs (耳罩) when he was 15. He found his ears got painfully cold when he was skating. He decided to solve the problem. He found a piece of wire (电线), and his grandma helped him pad (用软物填塞) the ends.
At the age of 15, Louis Braille invented the system that allowed blind people to read.
【1】The underlined word “unique” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A.strict
B.famous
C.unusual
D.popular
【2】We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.Benjamin Franklin made paddles for his feet
B.Frank Epperson spent many days making Popsicles
C.Chester Greenwood created earmuffs with his teacher
D.Louis Braille’s invention helped blind people to read
【3】The writer probably agrees that ________.
A.age is very important for inventions
B.kids inventors are geniuses
C.inventions should be completely new
D.a working model needs to be tested
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A.Are Inventions Important?
B.Can Kids Be Inventors, Too?
C.What’s Your Favourite Invention?

22、In most languages, a greeting is usually followed by small talk. Small talk means the little things we talk about at the start of a conversation.
In English-speaking countries, people often make small talk about the weather: “Nice, isn’t it?” “Terrible weather, isn’t it?” But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion or politics so these are not suitable topics for small talk. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching: “Great game, isn’t it?” At bus stops, people may comment about the transport system: “The bus service is terrible, isn’t it?”
Greetings and small talk are an important part of conversation in any language. The way people greet each other and the things they talk about, however, may be different from one language to another. This shows that there is much more to learn when we learn a language than just the vocabulary and the grammar of the language. We also have to learn the social behavior of the people who speak it.
【1】Small talk is ________.
A.to let people disagree about something
B.a kind of conversation with short words
C.a greeting when people meet each other
D.something we talk about to start with a conversation
【2】When we say “Great game, isn’t it?” we in fact ________.
A.have a conversation
B.start small talk
C.greet each other
D.ask a question
【3】What we learn from the passage is that ________.
A.in English-speaking countries we should talk about the weather
B.different languages have different grammar
C.small talk is an important part in a language
D.small talk depends on the purpose of the conversation

24、Indian movies hit in China
Hollywood movies seem to be China’s favourite movies. But that is not always the case. Recently an Indian movie has become very p【1】.
The movies called Dangal (《摔跤吧!爸爸?》) c【2】 out on May 5. In less than five days, it has made more than 100 million yuan, according to China Daily.
The movie is about a father who turns his daughters i【3】 great wrestlers(摔跤手). It is based upon the story of former Indian wrestler Mahavir Phogat. Famous Indian actor Aamir Khan, 52, plays the father.
Indian movies often include lots of singing and dancing. But Dangal is d【4】. As Yahoo said, the sport story shows gender stereotypes(性别歧视) and a complex(复杂的) father-daughter relationship. There are so many moments that may m【5】 you want to cry. In the movie, when the father t【6】 his daughters to wrestle, people in the village all laugh at him. Above all, f【7】 girls did this sport at that time. But the father keeps teaching them. He even l【8】 home and goes to his daughters’ city to train them. "It makes me think of my father, and his selfless love for us," a Chinese audience member told Hindustan Times.
The daughters’ success shows that "girls are as g【9】 as boys". It’s the movie’s theme, as Hindustan Times said. And it attracts(吸引) m【10】 of Chinese fans. "It is like the story of a Chinese village girl becoming an Olympic champion," said Tan Zheng, editor of Film Art magazine.
