21、Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a getting. It was not until in my later thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form.
One Sunday morning the local post office delivered a letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation.“Wasn’t it you that wrote us a letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?” I said it was.“Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if you have to make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complains.”

A．he knew what such a note would mean to the post office

22、One night, Pilar was in a deep sleep when she was woken by her cat Inti. Inti was meowing wildly outside Pilar’s bedroom and throwing himself against the closed bedroom door. When Pilar opened her eyes, she saw that her bedrooms was filled with smoke. As she escaped her house with Inti in her arms, she saw that a fire was burning in her kitchen. Pilar could easily have lost her life, but Inti would not let that happen. Even though Inti could have escaped the house through a cat door, he wouldn’t leave Pilar.
The story of Charlotte Lee and her horse, Thunder is as amazing as this one. One summer night, the whole family was asleep with the windows open. Suddenly, there was a loud noise. Charlotte woke up from her sweet dream, and the noise continued. Then she heard a horse running fast towards the house. The next thing she saw was Thunder standing outside her window, neighing (撕叫) and shaking his head. She knew something was wrong. Charlotte quickly got everyone out of the house before the earthquake hit. Thunder has saved her life.
There are also stories of wild animals coming to the rescue of humans. One animal known to be a friend of humans is the dolphin. Once, Todd Endris was surfing with his friends when he was attacked (袭击) by a 13-foot shark. In the middle of the attack, a group of dolphins came to rescue him by forming a protective ring around Endris until he could get safely to shore. Without the help of the dolphins, there is little chance that Todd could have escaped.
No one is sure why animals have so often come to our rescue. However, it is clear that humans and animals enjoy a close relationship. It is important that we care for them as much as we can.
【1】Why did Inti throw himself against the door?

D．Frighten
【4】What might Todd say to those dolphins?
A．Leave me alone.
B．A good companion.
C．Never say goodbye.
D．You are real heroes.
23、Here’s our pick of the most beautiful European cities with hardly any tourists:
Aarhus, Denmark
Denmark’s second largest city is considered to be less attractive than its capital Copenhagen. But Aarhus makes a perfect choice for a Danish long weekend thanks to its pretty beaches, towering Domkirke and the great ARoS Aarhus Art Museum.
ARoS’s Wine and Food Hall is one of the best places in the city to try delicious Nordic food.
Norwich, England
The saying goes that Norwich has a pub for every day of the year and a church for every Sunday. While that’s perhaps far from the truth, this most typical of English cities is certainly home to some of the most attractive medieval architecture in England.
Norwich Cathedral dates back to 1096 and the streets of Colegate and Elm Hill are home to picturesque, centuries-old homes.
Orange, France
While Avignon draws in thousands of tourists thanks to its summer festival and amazing Popes’ Palace, nearby Orange is usually unnoticed. Easier to travel around, with far fewer visitors, the city’s key attraction is the Roman Theater, which was built in the first century AD.
Antwerp, Belgium
The UNESCO-protected Cathedral of Our Lady occupies the Antwerp skyline, but there’s so much more to this Belgian city than its most famous building.
There’s also the Red Star Line Museum, located on Antwerp’ old docks, which shows the city’s past as a center for migration(移民)to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
【1】Which city will you visit if you want to enjoy a delicious meal?
A．Orange, France.
B．Norwich, England.
C．Aarhus, Denmark.
D．Antwerp, Belgium.
【2】What can visitors experience in Orange, France?
A．See amazing Popes’ Palace.
B．Visit Roman Theater.
C．Attend a summer festival.
D．Be surrounded with visitors.
【3】What do Norwich and Antwerp have in common?
A．They both have a cathedral.
B．They are famous for museums.
C．Old pubs can be seen everywhere.
D．People there go to church every Sunday.
24、When I was a little girl, every Sunday my family of six would put on our best clothes and go to Sunday School and then church. The kids in elementary school would all meet together to sing songs, and then divide into groups based on their ages.
One Easter Sunday, all the kids arrived with big stories about what the Easter Bunny (复活节小兔) had brought. While all of the kids shared their stories happily, one young boy, called Bobby, sat quietly. A teacher, noticing this, said to him, “And what did the Easter Bunny bring you?” He answered, “My mom locked the door by accident so the Easter Bunny couldn’t get inside because he hadn’t got a key.”
This sounded like a reasonable idea to all of us kids, so we kept on going with the stories. But My mom knew the true story. Bobby’s mom was a single parent, and she guessed they just couldn’t afford the Easter Bunny.
After Sunday School was oven everyone went off to church. When my dad came to meet us, my mom said that we were going home instead. At home, she explained that to make Bobby feel better, we were going to pretend to be the Easter Bunny, make a basket of our candies for him and leave it at church. We all donated (捐赠) some to the basket, and went back to church. There, mom hung the basket over the hanger (挂钩) and attached a note:
Dear Bobby,
I’m sorry I missed your house last night. Happy Easter.
Love
The Easter Bunny

25、Family is the warmest place where members always help each other, especially in the most difficult times.
My husband and I went through tough times many years ago. However, we didn’t mention the difficulties to our children. The only thing they knew clearly was that we had to _______many things. But we didn’t want to _______ them with a problem about which they could do nothing.
Our situation wasn’t improving, and we knew that we would have to look for outside help.
