24、You’ve just found your dream job, but it pays less than the one you’ve working hard at right now. What should you do ? How can you make the right decision ?
When you have a difficult decision to make , you may probably think it over and over again for hours, weighting up all the advantages and disadvantages before coming to a decision .Or ,maybe you decide it quickly without thinking carefully .But according to scientific research, there’s a better way to do this: Sleep on it .
In a resent study , scientists made an experiment(实验).

The result of the survey was interesting. The people who had a good night’s sleep were energetic the next morning .And they choose the best quality cars. But those who made quick decisions chose cars with bad quality.

25、Can you imagine what it would be like to live and study in an ancient castle (城堡)? I’m talking about British boarding (寄宿) schools, where some children actually live like Harry Potter (although sadly without the magic).
Boarding schools in Britain are not cheap. The average cost is£25,152 (254,011 yuan) for just one year. The schools are usually very old and rich in history. They played a big role in British history, and have close connections to Oxford and Cambridge universities. Students are usually very rich; Prince William and Harry both went to Eton, a school which has produced 19 British prime ministers (首相).
One of the most important things for these schools is sport. Cricket (板球), rugby (英式橄榄球) and rowing (赛艇运动) are played nearly every day. These games build teamwork and discipline (纪律). There is a famous saying in English, “The British Empire (帝国) was built on the playing fields of Eton.”
Boarding schools often appear in English books and films. The young child without parents growing up in a boarding school is found in hundreds of stories, although the most famous now is Harry Potter. Boarding schools are becoming less traditional, though, and more international. Nearly 9,000 foreign kids joined a British boarding school last year, and a third of these came from China.
【1】Are boarding schools expensive in Britain?
________________________________________
【2】What is the school Eton famous for?
________________________________________
【3】What can students learn from those daily sports?

【4】How many Chinese students went to British boarding schools last year?

26、 When you are learning English, you find it not clever to translate an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” for example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.
Languages don’t just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily. Sometimes, when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes, the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let's see the difference between the two pairs of sentences:
“She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.”
“I have seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does.
【1】From the passage we know that ________ when we are learning English.
A.we shouldn’t put every word into our language
B.we should look up every word it the dictionary
C.we need to put every word into our own language
【2】We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different
B.the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentence
C.sometimes different order of words has a different meaning
【3】“She only likes apples.” ________.
A.is the same as “Only she likes apples.”
B.is different from “Only she likes apples.”
C.means “She likes fruit except apples.”
【4】Which of the following is TRUE?
A.The order of words can’t be changed.
B.We should know the rules for word order when we study English.
C.It’s important for us to translate an English sentence word for word.
【5】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “spirit”?
A.心情 B.本意 C.灵魂
27、2024 is the year of the dragon! In Chinese culture, the dragon is a powerful and mysterious creature. It’s not a real animal but a combination (结合) of many animals’ features. Dragons usually live in the river, well and ocean. They can control water, rain and floods. When they sneeze (打喷嚏), it will rain.
Chinese dragons represent (代表) power, wisdom and good luck. In ancient China, it was believed that the emperor, who was called the “Son of the Dragon”, had a special connection to the dragon and its power. Only emperors could wear clothes with dragon patterns, and their throne (王位) was called the Dragon Throne.
Nowadays, Chinese people are still proud to call themselves the “descendants (传人) of the dragon”. People born in the year of the dragon are said to have special qualities. They are often strong-willed, confident, and passionate. They are also believed to be lucky and successful in life. So excellent and outstanding people are often compared to dragons. No wonder parents always want their sons to become dragons!
However, where I am from, we have different feelings about dragons. In the Bible (圣经), dragons represent the devil (恶魔) and trick the world. Western people usually see dragons as cold-blooded animals, like snakes. They are dishonest because of their forked (分叉) tongues. They are cruel killers, breathing fire and catching women. So it is a common tale for a knight (骑士) to kill a dragon and save a princess. Even the popular boy Harry Potter has to beat a deadly dragon and get back a golden egg from its nest.
Because of this, some Chinese experts suggested changing the English word for Chinese dragons to its pinyin, “Long”. They believe the name “dragon” makes western people think badly about China. But some don’t agree. They think Chinese people can look after their own culture. Well, living in China for more than ten years, I already know the difference, and I also love the Chinese dragons!
【1】_______ could wear clothes with dragon patterns in ancient China.
A.Chinese emperors
B.Harry Potter
C.Knights
D.Chinese experts
【2】The underlined words in the third paragraph have the same meaning as ________ in Chinese.
A.龙飞凤舞
B.龙腾虎跃
C.望子成龙
D.龙马精神
【3】The underlined word “this” in the last paragraph probably refers to__________.
A.the difference
B.the story
C.the language
D.the country
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A.The Year of the Dragon
B.The Sayings of Dragons
C.Dragons in China and the West
D.Dragons and Emperors
28、 The first step in planning a birthday party is to sit down with your child and find out what type of birthday party he or she wants. Don’t worry that your child is going to want difficult 【1】 expensive things. For his ninth birthday party, my son just wanted to go to a park near my home. For my daughter, she just wanted everything to be pink – pink clothes, pink shoes and pink cakes. Most birthday parties for children are not difficult or expensive.
【2】 you want to hold a party for your child, you can’t do everything by yourself. Find one or more friends to help you. If your child is very young, other children’s parents might ask if they could come, too. The 【3】 is yes! They can help with the games or take care of the children. Just remember to thank them 【4】 their help when you give them the birthday cakes.
Birthday parties are wonderful opportunities(机会) for your child to 【5】 good manners. Start from the moment you write the 【6】 letters. Manners are especially important when it comes to open presents. The birthday child should thank everyone while 【7】 the presents.
Make 【8】 there are enough activities for children to take part in at the party. And be sure that everybody is safe at the party.
29、I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13. My parents took us there for camping. On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to El Capitan, a ___________ rock of 3,300 feet straight up. I touched that rock and knew at once I wanted to climb it. That has been my life’s passion (钟爱) ever since climbing the rocks and mountains of Yosemite. I’ve long made Yosemite my ___________.
About 15 years ago, I started seeing a lot of ___________, like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area. It’s beyond me why visitors started respecting the place ___________ and treated such a beautiful home-like place this way.
I tried picking up litter myself, but the job was too big. I would spend an hour or two on the job, only to find the area littered all over again weeks later. Finally, I was so ___________ it that I decided something had to change.
As a rock-climbing guide, I knew nothing about organizing any big event. But in 2004, together with some climbers, I set a date for a clean up. On that day, more than 300 people ___________. Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of litter. It was amazing how much we were able to achieve. I couldn’t believe the ___________ we made — the park looked clean!
Each year volunteers come for the cleanup from everywhere. In 2007, 2,945 people picked up 42,330 pounds of litter and covered 132 miles of roadway.
