21、Last Christmas, when I was in the fourth grade and my brother was in the first grade, our school held its yearly Holiday Shop. At the Holiday Shop students can buy things like necklaces, key chains, and other small items for their friends and family as Christmas gifts. Since my brother really wanted to take part, my mom gave him two dollars to buy his Christmas gifts.
My mom didn’t know that he had picked out a special necklace for her. When he got home from the Holiday Shop that day, he couldn’t wait to show it to me. He pulled out a little green box and opened it. Inside was a gold chain with a little red flower and a man-made diamond next to gold letters that spelled out,“Grandmother”.
“Wow,” I said.“It’s beautiful.” Since my brother was in the first grade and was just learning to read, he didn’t realize that the necklace said “Grandmother” instead of “Mother”. I knew that on Christmas morning, when he found out he had bought the wrong necklace, he would be very unhappy, so I said nothing more about it. My brother ran and put the necklace under his bed to hide it from Mom until Christmas morning.
When he wasn’t looking, I took the necklace and put it in my backpack. The next day I took it back to school and asked the woman who ran the Holiday Shop if I could change it for the “Mother” necklace. She said yes. When I got home that day, I put the necklace under my brother’s bed.
When my mom opened it up on Christmas morning, my brother was so exalted! My mom’s eyes were filled with joy. She knew what had happened, which made the necklace even more special to her!
My brother still does not know what I did, but I knew I had done the right thing.

22、Standing on the edge of the plane, looking at the ground below, my tandem skydiving（双人跳伞）instructor, Bill, turned to me. “Any last words?” he asked. “Yes,” I said, joking. “I hope my parachute opens.”
I'd never felt more alive as Bill and 1 stepped out and sated our freefall. Those first few seconds were amazing. I felt like a weightless piece of paper. As we reached 4,000 feet, I felt a parachute open above us. This, I was old, would slow us down for a smooth descent. So why were we still traveling so fast? I looked up: The parachute was unopened in the wind. I asked Bill, “Are we going to die?” He said he didn't know.
At that moment, I just felt guilty. I'd brought my family along for the day: my parents, sisters, their partners and children. I'd invited them along to watch me die.
We hit the ground. I was immediately breathless, and an unimaginable pain shot up my back as we bounced into a lake on a golf course. I was somehow still alive. Gathering all my strength, I turned to face Bill. He started screaming. From my neck down, I could barely move. We were found by some golfers. My mother and sister cried uncontrollably as Bill was put into a helicopter, and I was placed into an ambulance.
The next four or five months were intense. I had broken my back. After being discharged（出院）from the hospital, I locked myself in my bedroom and took painkillers. I became terrified of the outside world.
After years of therapy and hard work, the deep physical and mental pain is healing. I heard that Bill made a full recovery and returned to skydiving.
I was always terrified of being myself and doing the things I wanted. Now I've learned that I need to be fearless. There's nothing like falling from 15,000 feet without a parachute—and surviving—to force you to make the most of every day.

D．Seize and cherish every day.
23、Paul O’Sullivan walked around his apartment in the US city of Baltimore one evening in 2014, feeling bored. Just for fun, he decided to try to find out how many other people on Facebook shared his name. Moments later, dozens of Paul O’Sullivans filled his screen and he sent friend requests to them all.
As Baltimore Paul looked through the profiles of the Paul O’Sullivans who accepted his invitation, hénoticed something four of them had in common: They were all musicians. Baltimore Paul had an idea. He asked the other three musical Pauls if they’d like to form a band called The Paul O’Sullivans. They all agreed.
Starting a band across multiple time zones proved to be nettlesome. Fortunatelv, Manchester Paul, a 59-year-old former professional musician knew how to fix that. They would create a kind of musical assembly line including online sessions.
The Band released its first original song, “Namesake,”in March 2016. But just months after the song’s release, Baltimore Paul began experiencing health issues that forced him to take time off from making music. The other Pauls also decided to take a break from the band. But they didn’t press pause on their friendship. Instead, they made sure Baltimore Paul never felt alone, even with the long distances between them. They shared family pictures and chatted online.
Finally, after a four-year break, Baltimore Paul was well enough to start making music again. The first thing the band did was create a music video for “Namesake,”which has now been watched on YouTube more than 50,000 times.
“It has been a lovely journey that has lasted seven years so far. A four-stop international tour—one concert in each of our hometowns —would be great ,” says Baltimore Paul.
“What are the odds,” he says, that a random Facebook request would lead not only to new music but to lasting friendships as well? “Some things are just meant to be.”
【1】What inspired Baltimore Paul to form a band?
A．His enthusiasm for music.
B．His dream of having an international tour.
C．Four Paul O’Sullivans all being musicians.
D．Friendship among the four Paul O’Sullivans.
【2】What does the underlined word “nettlesome” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Easy.
B．Disappointing.
C．Troublesome.
D．Interesting.
【3】What can be learned from Paragraph 4?
A．It never rains but it pours.
B．It’s never too late to mend.
C．One is never too old to learn.
D．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
【4】What’s the purpose of the text?
A．To teach how to start a band.
B．To introduce a band united by a name.
C．To show how to make friends online.
D．To introduce a popular online service.
24、I was born with a rare disease that prevented the normal growth of my right arm. I was heart-broken at school. Those cruel experiences won’t affect me now, but back then they struck me very hard.
My parents realised playing with Lego was a great way to improve my flexibility, so they bought me a set when I was five. I built planes and cars, and even a prosthetic (义肢的) arm, though I had already decided I didn’t need a prosthetic arm — it was very expensive, and I was doing just fine.
I made one because it’s fun. I have since made several new versions. And my latest model is the most advanced and comfortable. It has a control unit that can send and receive orders from sensors on the arm to the motors, with cables that contract like muscles.
A lot of people don’t have the ability to buy a prosthetic. I hate it when people have to pay up to €100,000 for a prosthetic. They shouldn’t pay that much — it’s not a luxury. My goal is to try to make some that more people can afford.
When I was 19, the parents of an eight-year-old boy got in touch to ask if I could build him a prosthetic. His arms and legs are underdeveloped as part of his condition, so I made two prosthetic arms using Lego units costing only €15. His smile when he used them for the first time was very encouraging.
To me, my creations don’t necessarily tell the story of how I overcame my condition with Lego; they’re about how I overcame the tough period almost every day at school.

A．He has gained great popularity.
B．He has become more optimistic.
