22、As 17-year-old Norwood drove through St. Petersburg, Florida, last February, the laughter and chatter from the four teenage girls inside her car quickly gave way to sharp cries. A car behind heavily hit them, sending their black car into a tree five meters away. As smoke rose from the other car, a bystander (旁观者) shouted, “It’s about to blow up! Get out!”
Terrified but not hurt, she got out through the window. Along with two of her friends, who’d also managed to free themselves, she ran for her life. But halfway down the street, she realized that her best friend, Simmons, wasn’t with them. Norwood ran back and found Simmons stuck in the back seat. “She wasn’t moving,” Norwood told Inside Edition. She threw open the back door and pulled her friend out, trying to avoid the broken glass.
She dragged Simmons to safety and placed her on the ground. “I put my head against her chest. No sign of life. That’s when I started CPR (心肺复苏术).” Norwood, who longed to have a career in medicine, had passed the national CPR test just the day before.
Looking down at her dying friend, Norwood knew she had only a little time to practice what she’d learned. She started pumping Simmons’s chest and breathing into her friend’s mouth. No response. She tried again and again. Slowly, Simmons began coughing and opening her mouth for air. The CPR worked! Soon, doctors arrived and rushed Simmons to the hospital. And then she heard how her best friend had saved her life. “I wasn’t shocked,” Simmons told CNN. “She will always help any way she can.”

23、My name is Robinson Crusoe. I cannot say that for five years, any extraordinary thing happened to me, but I lived on in the same place as before. Besides my yearly labour of planting my corn, and curing my raisins (葡萄干), of both which I always kept up just enough to have enough stock of one year’s supply beforehand, I had one labour, that is, to make a canoe(独木舟), which at last I finished.
By digging a canal (水渠) to it of six feet wide and four feet deep, I brought it into the water, almost half a mile. As for the first canoe, which was so big, for I made it without considering beforehand how I should be able to launch it, so, never being able to bring it into the water, or bring the water to it, I had to let it lie where it was as a memorandum to teach me to be wiser the next time. Indeed, the next time, though I could not get a tree proper for it, and was in a place where I could not get the water to it at any less distance than, as I have said, near half a mile, yet, as I saw it was practicable at last, I never gave it up for anything. Though I had spent near two years on it, yet I never spared my labour, in hopes of having a boat to go off to sea at last.
As I had a boat, my next design was to travel round the island. I had been on the other side in one place, crossing over the land, and the discoveries I made in that little journey made me very eager to see other parts of the coast. Now that I had a boat, I thought of nothing but sailing round the island.

D．proposal.
【4】What is Robinson’s sailing around the island for?
A．Looking for more food to eat.
B．Finding more land to plant corn.
C．Exploring other parts of the coast
D．Going off the island to ocean.
24、Sixteen years ago, I learned an important life lesson in the back of a New York City taxi.
I was on my way to Grand Central Station, and we were driving in the right lane when a black car suddenly sped out of a parking space right in front of us.
My driver hit the brakes hard, skidded, and missed the other car by a few inches. The driver of the other car, the man who had just nearly caused a huge accident, started shouting at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at him. He was really friendly!
“Why did you just do that？” I asked him. “This guy almost destroyed your car and could have sent us to the hospital！”
This was when my taxi driver told me what I now call “the Law of Garbage Trucks”.
“Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of anger, and full of disappointment，” he said. “As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it, and if you let them do, they'll dump it on you. So when someone wants to dump on you, just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You'll be happier because of what you have done.”
I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and dump it on other people—at work, at home, or on the street? It was on that day that I said, “I'm not going to dump anymore.”
【1】What happened when the writer was taking a taxi?

D．He dumped some garbage in front of his car.
【3】What does the taxi driver mean when he says “Many people are like garbage trucks”？
A．Many people like to drive garbage trucks.
B．Many people dump garbage wherever they like.
C．Many people are warmhearted and make others happy.
D．Many people need to dump their feelings now and then.
【4】According to the passage, what should you do if people “dump garbage” on you?
A．Dump your garbage on him or her, too.
B．Be friendly and go on with your own work.
C．Tell them to dump their garbage in the right place.

25、 A letter from Grandpa
Dear Ronny,
Years ago you came to me for help. You said, “Grandpa, how is it that you’ve accomplished so much in your life? You’re still full of _________ and I’m already tired of struggling. How can I get that same _________ that you’ve got?”
I didn’t know what to say to you then. But knowing my days are_______, I figure that I _______ you an answer. So here is what I believe.
I think a lot of it has to do with how a person _________ things. I call it “keeping your eyes wide open”.
First, realize that life is filled with _______, but many are good ones. If you don’t keep watching for them, you’ll miss half the excitement. Expect to be thrilled once in a while, and you will be.
When you meet up with challenges, _______ them. They’ll leave you wiser, _______, and more capable than you were the day before. When you make a mistake, be _______ for the things it taught you. Resolve (决心) to use that lesson to help you reach your goals.
And always follow the rules. Even the little ones. When you follow the rules, life works. If you think you ever really get by with__________ the rules, you’re only fooling yourself.
Sometimes we have to be __________ enough to move from the familiar to the unfamiliar. Life isn’t just reaching __________. Part of it is moving from one peak to the next. If you rest too long in between, you might be tempted to __________. Leave the past in the past. Climb the next mountain and enjoy the view.
Dump things that weigh you down ________ and spiritually. When an old resentment (怨恨), belief, or attitude becomes heavy, __________ your load. Get rid of those hurtful __________ that slow you down and drain (消耗) your energy.
Remember that your choices will create your ________ and your failures. So consider all the pathways __________and decide which one to follow. Then believe in yourself, get up, and get going.
Most important of all, ________ give up on yourself. The person hat ends up a winter is the one who resolves to win. Give life everything you’ve got, and life will __________it’s best to you.
Love always,
Grandpa
