21、Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family’s last vacation. It was my six-year-old son’s winter break form school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York,So I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.
The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?
Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.
I've made living looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露) the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.
I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.

22、Even if you’re in the market for a new smartphone, your older one needn’t go to landfill.
Is your older smartphone or tablet now lacking the ability to meet your daily demands? If so, don’t throw away just yet—it could still be useful for jobs that require a little less processing power.
Smartphones and tablets can enjoy a second life as a universal remote control for smart devices and their various apps around the home. You can also use them to play music and video from streaming services, to cast to compatible devices, or as a home server.
Why not attach an old iPad to the wall to use as a digital calendar or family planner? Or save a huge amount of money on baby monitors by fixing a phone or tablet with a monitoring app above the bassinet (婴儿摇篮) instead?
If you can’t repurpose your old smartphone, recycle it instead. Smartphones are full of recyclable materials including rare and valuable metals such as gold, silver, platinum and copper—99% of these can be reused if you recycle your phone correctly. They may end up in new tech products or enjoy a new life as something entirely different.
For example, the plastic in mobile phone casing can be processed into pellets (小球) and used for products such as pallets (托盘). Not only does this mean producing less plastic, but it cuts down on the energy needed to make new plastics.
Some people are understandably unwilling to recycle their phones because they worry about losing their personal data, or that it’ll end up in the wrong hands. But, by following some simple steps, you can wipe your data before you recycle it.
【1】Your older smartphone or tablet can be reused for many jobs except ________.
A.working as a digital calendar
B.monitoring babies
C.processing complex data
D.playing streaming video
【2】How can you recycle your older smartphone?
A.Reuse the metals in it to develop new products

A.①②③

23、“Humans can develop certain abilities we aren’t born with by practicing animals’ movements,” the traditional Chinese Wushu lovers believed in the past—and still do today.
Chinese Five-Animal Exercises, also known as Wuqinxi, are the first complete set of qigong exercises following the movements of animals: monkeys, deer, birds, bears and tigers. They were created by one of the greatest doctors in Chinese history, Hua Tuo, more than 1,800 years ago.
The Five-Animal Exercises are well-designed to help blood circulation (循环), and let the energy go smoothly in the body so as to improve the health.
“The bear movements are good for the stomach. The tiger movements can reduce the pain in the back. The deer movements help reduce the fat around the waist (腰). The bird movements can help keep our knees healthy and the monkey movements can be good for the heart.” said Hua Yi, the 59th inheritor (继承人) of Wuqinxi.
For those new learners, the first few exercises might not go well. You may find it hard to focus (集中注意力). Wear comfortable clothes, keep peaceful in your mind, try to move slowly… Little by little, you’ll feel more and more harmonious with nature. You may even feel you become a tiger or a deer, walking in the forest freely.
These exercises need no tools and they are easy to learn. You can search online for the videos and practice them at any time when you feel like relaxing your body and mind. Because it’s fun to practice and good for health, Five-Animal Exercises are becoming more and more popular in recent years, not only in China, but also in many other places of the world.
【1】Why do people practice Five-Animal Exercises?
A.In order to improve the health.
B.In order to fight against enemies.
C.In order to protect wild animals.
D.In order to play as a group game.
【2】What may help your grandfather a lot if he has a pain in the back?
A.The bear movements
B.The monkey movements
C.The bird movements
D.The tiger movements
【3】Why is Wuqinxi becoming popular?
A.Because there’s no need to wear anything.
B.Because it’s easy to learn.
C.Because it’s fun to practice and good for health.
D.Because there are videos online.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One noon, Mark knocked at the door, saying, “Take the letter.” Then, a little girl answered from inside, “I’m coming.” But after 3 minutes, no one came. Mark, the postman, said again, “Please hurry. I have to go to the next place.”
The girl, Jane, replied, “Sir, put the letter under the door. I’m coming. But it’ll take more time.” The old postman replied, “No, I’m waiting. It’s a registered letter. So your signature is needed.”
After a long time, the door open. Mark was angry and was about to shout at the girl. But when the door opened, he was shocked to see a little girl who had no legs. He immediately had great pity for her. He quietly gave her the letter, took her signature and left.
The little girl often lived alone in her house. Her mother wasn’t in this world. And her father used to work far away. He wasn’t rich and could not buy the girl prostheses(假肢). To take care of her, her aunt stayed with her every night. But she lived alone during the day.
In about two months, whenever mail came, Mark would knock and call Jane. Then he’d wait patiently at the door. Gradually, interaction and attachment(依恋) grew between them. And they learned more about each other.
Jane noticed Mark used to come barefoot(赤脚) to deliver mail. The rainy season came. One day, when Mark left after delivering the letter, his footprints were left on the wet soil. Jane came out with a piece of paper, put it on the footprints and took down the picture of his feet. Then she handed her aunt the pocket money she had saved, and asked her to get shoes of that size and keep them in the house.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右。2. 请按如下格式作答。
Days later, Jane heard the old postman knock on her door.
