24、Dear Victor,
I have received your loving letter from school and I am glad to know that you are becoming responsible(有责任的) enough to decide on your career(职业).
You are now in the final year of high school and are going to start further education in college. You know that we belong to different times, and my social life is different from yours. However, all I can say as advice is that you must choose a career wisely. The first consideration(考虑) is your interest. You can only succeed and feel happy when you do something you enjoy. You must get a job which not only
provides you with something useful, but also you are pleased with. Then, you must read a lot in the field (领域) you are aiming at. Also, you should get to know the men and women who work in that field. When mind and heart work together, success is inevitable.
No career is more or less important. I think your interest may be in the field of making TV
programmes. Your good communication skills, your taking an active part in school plays and the prizes you have won in speech competitions all lead you to that direction. So a career in Mass Communication and TV film production will bring luck to you. If you succeed in that field, you will become famous and rich.
Think a thousand times before making any final decision about your career. After all, we want you to be a man of success.
We all know that you are old enough to think for yourself.
With all the best wishes!
Your loving father

25、That year, I was a Junior 2 student. Falling off the stairs hurt me in the head. Almost everyone thought I was dead. But they were wrong. However, it was difficult to get back to normal life. I had to leave school and learn everything, walking, talking, and yes, math.
To help me with that task, Mrs. Pillar volunteered to come to the hospital and later to my house once a week. We began with basic math skills. As time passed by, I made progress.
I remembered very vividly how she came to my home on Sundays, sat with me at the kitchen table, and threw different coins on the table. She asked me to show her 38 cents, 17 cents, 63 cents. It was challenging, but she also made it fun.
After a year and a half, I had progressed a lot, both in body and mind, to return to school. Seven years later, I graduated from the University of Texas at the top of my class.
As year went by, I always kept in touch with Mrs. Pillar. Unluckily, one day my parents told me that Mrs. Pillar had been in hospital because she suffered a stroke(中风).
Now it was my turn to help her. Mrs. Pillar lay in bed, unable to speak and know anybody around. I pulled some coins out of my pocket, dropped them on her bed, and asked her to show me 12 cents. The nurse thought that my action was very strange until one day Mrs. Pillar smiled happily as I began working with her—just as she had worked with my years before. She make progress every day and was moved out of ICU and finally out of hospital.
One day, I called to wish her a happy New Year. She spoke into the phone excitedly, “Happy New Year to you and your family, Michael. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.” I quickly said, “Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.”

In North America, black bears walk around the wilderness (荒野) as they have done for thousands of years. These animals can weigh more than half a ton.
Black bears are omnivores (杂食动物), meaning they eat both meat and plants. This has a problem for black bears living in the parts of North America where winter lasts for many months. The plants die off during the winter, and there isn’t enough to eat.
So, what do black bears do to survive during the winter? Strange as it may sound, they go to sleep for up to six months. How do they do it and why don’ t they starve (挨饿) to death during this time? Black bears hibernate (冬眠) during the winter. They find a safe place. They crawl (爬行) inside as winter begins, and they go into a sleep.
But there is much to do before they find a safe place. For weeks, they eat, eat, and eat. A black bear can put on weight about twenty kilograms per week during this time. The bear gets fatter and fatter as the autumn turns to winter.
Then, the bear goes to its sleeping place. As it falls asleep, its heart rate and breathing slow down. Soon, it is fast asleep. It’s able to survive(存活) during this long sleep because of its fat.
By the end of the six months of sleep, the bear is very thin.
The sleeping bear even gets some exercise during this long hibernation. Every day, the bear’s whole body begins to shake. It shakes in a way that makes every muscle work.
As the long northern winter ends, black bears begin to wake up. Imagine how hungry they are! Slowly, they crawl out into the spring weather. There are new plants everywhere. The bears eat to get back all the weight they lost while sleeping for six months.
【1】How do black bears spend the long and cold winter?
A.By working with other bears.
B.By sleeping for up to six months.
C.By hiding under the ground.
D.By eating a lot of food.
【2】How does a black bear start to hibernate? Choose the right order.
a. Fall asleep b. Find a safe place c. Eat a lot to put on weight. d. Go into the sleeping place.
A.c-b-d-a.
B.c-b-a-d.
C.b-c-d-a.
D.c-a-b-d.
【3】What does the underlined word “rate” mean?
A.Ability.
B.Shape.
C.Line.
D.Speed.
【4】What would be the best title for the passage?
A.The Clever Animal.
B.The Secret of Nature
