24、 Once upon a time, there lived a wise man. Everyone respected him. His son, however, was very lazy and did nothing all day.
The wise man was worried about his son's future. One day, he said to his son, "I want you to go and find some treasure. I have drawn a map to guide you." Then he handed his son a bag. Inside the bag were clothes, some food, a little money and the map.
The son set out on his long journey the next day. He had to travel across forests, rivers and mountains. Along the way, he met a lot of people. He was helped by some with food and by some with shelter. He also came across robbers who tried to rob him. He saw changing landscapes(风景) and experienced different kinds of weather.
Finally, after a long year, he reached the treasure's location. He spent two days looking and digging for the treasure, but found nothing.
Disappointed, he headed back to his home. On his way back, he experienced the same changing landscapes and seasons. Sometimes, he would stop to enjoy the beauty of nature. He also learned to hunt and make meals. He had to fix his own clothes and shelter himself. He was now able to tell time by the position of the sun and protect himself from wild animals. He met the same people who had helped him earlier. This time, he stayed and helped them in order to repay them.
When he reached home, he apologized to his father for not finding the treasure.

25、Everyone worries. But how do you deal with your worries? Whether your worries are big or small, you can take these steps:
Try to find out what you’re worried about
Sometimes, you will know what you’re worried about. Other times, you might not. Try to find it out first; if you can’t, you can ask for help.
Think of ways to make it better
There is always something you can do to help you feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won’t solve your problem.
Grades at school are often top worries for kids. If you’re worried about grades, ask yourself these questions:
*Why are grades important? What do grades mean to me?
*How do I get ready for class? Do I go over my notes even when there isn’t a test?
*Do I have a good place to do my homework?
*Have I tried different ways of studying?
If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend, you might write down all the things you could do: write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her, etc. Once you have a list of these things and choose one of them, you can get your friend back.
Ask for help
When you’re worried, it can help to find someone to talk to. You can ask your parents, friends, or teachers for help.
【1】How many steps of dealing with your worries are mentioned in the passage?
A.Two.
B.Three.
C.Four.
【2】The underlined word it refers to________.
A.sitting without doing anything
B.do something good
C.help you feel less worried
【3】If you’re worried about grades, you can ask yourself these questions except(除了) “ ________”
A.Why are grades important?
B.Have I experienced different studying ways?
C.Do I often do my homework on time?
【4】What’s the best title of the reading?
A.What kind of worries do people have?
B.What to do with our worries?
C.Who is often worried?
26、Train Your Brain
When was the last time you forgot to do something important? Maybe it was the answer to a test question, the name of an old friend or where you left your keys. Luckily, memory can be improved. People’s ability to remember has less to do with natural talent than it does with training and practice.
When students want to prepare for a test, they often try to study by simply reading over the material again, copying notes, etc. But these methods of remembering are not always helpful. People remember more when they actively try to understand the material they are learning rather than passively receiving it.
One great way to do this is to test yourself on the material. Come up with questions about the topic, and try to answer them without looking at your notes. It also helps to try to understand the material with different ways. For example, you could diagram (用图解法表示) the information, or you could write your own outline or study guide. The more you use the information, the more likely you are to remember it.
When I was 9, I began learning to play the flute, and my music teacher gave me some tips on practicing. He said that it’s better to practice for five minutes a day, seven days a week, than for two hours on one day. The same goes for remembering information. The more you spread out the time you spend reviewing information, the more likely you are to remember it.
A psychologist (心理学家) named Hermann Ebbinghaus made an important discovery about memory and forgetting. He found that people tend to forget information in a regular pattern. They forget the most information shortly after learning it. The rate at which they forget then slows down over time. Every time the person reviews the information, it causes them to forget less of it — which means they remember more. So it is necessary to review things you want to remember shortly after learning them. Over time, you can review them less and less frequently.
Using these methods will help improve your memory so that you can find any information you learn whenever you need it.
【1】The author writes the passage in order to ________.
A.explain the important discovery about memory and forgetting
B.show us some methods on how to improve memory
C.instruct the students how to prepare for a test
D.tell us how to actively understand the material
【2】Which method of preparing for a test may the writer support?
A.Reading the material over and over again.
B.Copying the notes and other related materials.
C.Writing an outline or study guide on your own.
D.Spending more than two hours remembering the notes.
【3】Which way is the most useful to remember 10 new English words according to Ebbinghaus’s discovery?
A.Reviewing the ten new words as soon as possible after learning them.
B.Spending more time reviewing the ten new words every day.
C.Making sentences when you are reviewing the ten new words.
D.Copying the ten new words one hundred times until you remember them.
27、Do you want to know what pets do when their owners leave for work or school each day? That’s the question The Secret Life of Pets tries to answer.
The cartoon movie is mainly about Max, a sweet and loyal dog. He lives inside one of the highest buildings in New York. Things are going well until his loving owner, Katie, decides to bring home Duke, a careless, untidy dog from the dog pound, where lost cats and dogs are kept until their owners come to take them home.
Actress Ellie Kemper plays the role of Katie. “She decides to bring home a new dog because he needs a home, but she’s very worried,” said Kemper.
Instead of welcoming each other with open paws (爪子), the dogs can’t get along well at first. When the two dogs find themselves on the mean streets of New York City, they have to team up and work together against a cute but criminal (犯罪的) rabbit named Snowball.
Kemper doesn’t have any pets in real life. But she says she would like to if she has free time. She said, “I don’t want to speak badly about cats, but I feel like I can play with dogs more.”
“The story is really funny,” Kemper says. The movie also has an important message. “Animals have feelings too,” she says. “That sounds corny (老套的), but we should be kind to animals.”
【1】The underlined word “pound” in the passage probably means ________.
A.菜市场
B.收容所
C.歌舞厅
D.动物园
【2】What does Katie worry about?
A.The owner will take Duke away.
B.Max will have a new home.

【4】If Kemper has free time, she’ll have a ________ as a pet.

Zainab, South Africa
I’d love to. We studied the solar system in Science classes this semester. I think space is amazing and I desire to know more about it.

Ana, U.S.
I would not like to be a space tourist. I respect those who love space tourism. For me, I only want to f【7】 on what I have on this planet — my family, my school and my pets. I would like to work hard to make progress in what I am doing.
