22、 I watch from the wooden bench in my backyard as the water from the pipe quietly flows out onto the tomato plants. I watch the plants and rest easy, knowing the pipe is taking care of the plants. The drops soon seem to become rivers on the ground.
I see these red-brown ants, crawling(爬行) along around their home. What will happen when the water reaches the ants? Smelling the danger, these poor tiny creatures all run away from the water and rush back to their home. They spend their whole lives working together to create and make better things, but now they are facing the end of it all. I think this is just a reflection of the world. I keep watching as the water first attacks and then surrounds two ants. They struggle to stay floating as the water closes in on them, getting deeper and deeper. I try to get these two to come on my finger, but they refuse to let me save them. The water soon flows over them, as I remain helpless. Only then do they decide to climb onto my dirt-covered finger. Not until facing the moment of death would they trust one like me.
I check to see if they are alive, and both can move fine. Then I go to save other ants. However, the water washes everything away. How much I wish I could turn off this machine of death, but I cannot. I must complete my job.
It knocks me how much these little lives mean to me. When I was a small child, I would make a sport of killing them. Now, I can't hurt an insect, always thinking about what it would be like to be so small.

24、For many English learners learning to write fluently in English is much more challenging than learning to speak fluently. Even for advanced level learners, written communications can come much more slowly in English than spoken communications.
Writing in English needs to follow rules of grammar much more closely than in spoken English. For example, if someone says ‘Please borrow me your pen’ in conversation, it’s clear from the context that the speaker intended to say ‘Please lend me your pen’. In written communication, words are even more important because they lack visual context. Especially if you are working in a business setting, making mistakes can cause miscommunication which might lead to problems. In conversation, you can smile and make a good impression. With writing, all you have are your words.
Imagine if you’re at a party. You might have a conversation with someone and only understand a few words. However, because you’re in the context of a party, you can make all the mistakes you want. It doesn’t matter. Everyone is having fun. When it comes to writing, there’s not so much room for error.
Spoken English is much more spontaneous (自发的) than written English. It’s looser and mistakes don’t necessarily impact your ability to communicate clearly. In writing, it’s important to think about how to write to the intended audience. You need to understand who will be reading your writing. It takes time to figure these things out.
We expect more of what we read. We expect it to be true, entertaining or informative. When there’s an expectation, there’s pressure to perform well. With speaking, with the possible exception of giving a presentation, there’s not nearly so much pressure-unless you’re closing a business deal.
It is important when teaching written English skills - especially for business English - to be aware of the challenges that learners will face when learning to function in a written English environment.
【1】According to the second paragraph, why are words more important in written communication?
A．Because writers can only rely on words.
B．Because grammar only applies to writing.
C．Because written words are more expressive.
D．Because written English involves little visual effect.
【2】In which situation is a person expected to have the most pressure?
A．When taking part in parties.
B．When giving a presentation
C．When having a talk with friends.
D．When hanging out with business partners.
【3】What will the author probably continue to write after the last paragraph?
A．Tips on how to teach English writing skills.
B．Functions of writing skills in business English.
C．Difference between spoken and written English.
D．Challenges people will meet in making business.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．Why Is It Easy to Speak Fluently?
B．What Contributes to a Good Writing?
C．How Can a Person Improve His Writing?
D．Why Is Writing More Difficult than Speaking?

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
We may meet many teachers in our life, but the teacher impresses me most in my life must be Mrs. B. She is the one who can not only see through the ordinary to discover the potential of individuals but also put it to the full play.
I was sitting next to Missy in my ninth-grade world history class when Mrs. Bartlett announced a new project. In groups, we were to create a newspaper around the culture we were studying.
On a piece of paper, we wrote the names of three friends we wanted in our group. After collecting all the requests, Mrs. B. informed us that she would take into consideration the names we chose and would let us know the results the next day. I had no doubt I would get the group of my choice. There were only a handful of sociable people in the class, and Missy was one of them. I knew we had chosen each other.
The next day, I anxiously awaited the class. After the bell rang, Missy and I stopped talking as Mrs. B called for our attention. She started to call out names. When she reached group three, Missy’s name was called. So I’m in group three, I thought. The second, third and fourth members of the group were called. My name was not included. There had to be some mistake!
Then I heard it. The last group: “Mauro, Juliette, Rachel, Karina.” The moment I heard my name Karina announced, I could feel the tears well in my eyes. Turning around, I glanced through all my new partners. How could I face being in that group. They were all misfits-the boy who barely spoke English, the one girl who was always covered by skirts that went down to her ankles, and the other girl who wore weird clothes. Oh, how badly I wanted to be with my friends.
