21、How to Become a Scientist
Here is some advice for students who think they might like to become scientists.
Become an observer. One of the most important things you can do to become a good scientist is to practice watching everything carefully. Find a comfortable chair and put it in the middle of your garden or a park. Sit in the chair for thirty minutes or an hour. Watch the insects that fly past or land on the plants. Look at the shapes of leaves and branches. Listen to the sounds of insects. 【1】 Use a microscope to look closely at interesting objects.
Learn everything you can about a topic that interests you. Suppose you’d like to explore flowers by using a microscope. Go to the library and check out some flower books. See what you can find on the Internet. Pick some flowers and carefully take them apart. 【2】 The more you know about flowers from reading about them and observing them, the more you’ll understand when you look at them with a microscope.
Ask for help from a knowledgeable person. After you’ve learned everything you can on your own, ask someone else to help with questions you still have. Maybe there’s someone at a nearby school or museum who knows about insects, spiders, or something else you’d like to learn about. 【3】
Find a scientist to talk to or find a place where scientific research is being done. If you still want to learn more, you can find a scientist to talk to at a nearby university, or research station. 【4】 Explain what you’re interested in. Ask if you can schedule a time to visit. Most scientists are happy to talk to students who share their passion for science.
A．You may go to seek answers from him.
B．Write a letter or an e-mail message to the scientist.
C．Research your questions using the Internet or library.
D．See if you can find a sight or sound that surprises you.
E．Use a microscope to see how everything fits together.
F．Being a scientist is time-consuming and mentally demanding.
22、You must have heard about jogging as a popular way of keeping fit, but what about plogging?
Plogging is a combination (结合) of jogging and picking up litter, from the Swedish phrase “plocka upp”, which refers to picking up rubbish. Plogging usually contains running outside, with a bin liner or carry bag, while picking up rubbish which is thrown on the ground. The idea of plogging is mainly about environmental protection as well as physical health — to care for Mother Nature as well as your body.
As a workout, plogging is more useful than simply running, because it provides more body movements by adding bending and stretching. As 2018’s hottest way of fitness, plogging has grown in popularity in more than 40 countries.
Have you recently noticed people carrying trash bags while jogging? Or their hands filled with old plastic bottles? You might soon! Because plogging is making its way to the United States. It has been popular among exercisers who are tired of rubbish along their way.
“I’m not going to just let litter sit there. I’m not going to just walk past that plastic bottle,” said Emily Wright, a plogger in California.“I run a lot and I love to spend time in nature. It’s so easy to just bring the litter and put it in the nearest bin, and it makes you feel that you’re doing a difference!”
Laura Lindberg, who lives in New York, said a few months ago she learned about plogging and had what she called an “aha moment”. She has been plogging for several weeks along the Hudson River. “It makes me feel good for so many reasons,” Lindberg said. “Plogging not only helps the environment, it’s quite good for my health.”
Plogging is an easy, affordable way to get fit and help the environment at the same time. To join the wave, all you need is a pair of sports shoes and a rubbish bag, so what are you waiting for?

23、Sometimes life puts us in places where we are supposed to be. Whether we were headed that way or not, we just need to make the best of it. Here let’s read three stories.
In 2016, Wanda Dench sent a text to her college-aged grandson inviting him to Thanksgiving dinner. But she got the number wrong and reached Jamal Hinton. When Hinton asked who had sent the message, Wanda sent a picture of herself. “You’re not my grandma,” Jamal texted back, “Can I still get a plate, though?” Wanda replied. “Of course, That’s what grandmas do — feed everyone!” And for six years, Jamal has celebrated Thanksgiving with the Dench family.
In another community, Robert’s wife asked him to drop some books off at a local elementary school after a book drive. When he carried the books to the classroom on his lunch hour, the teacher mistook him for one of the volunteer tutors. “Thank you for coming,” the teacher said, “Isabella is struggling with comprehension and is a grade level behind. Here is a book and her worksheets.” Robert thought, “I have time. I’ll just sit down and help.” Robert, an artist, drew the pictures of words and illustrated their meanings. Isabella was delighted. “I think that’s when the light went on for her,” Robert says, For a full year, Robert tutored Isabella during his lunch hours. Her reading comprehension quickly caught up and then shot past grade level. “Seeing her learn so fast made my day,” Robert says.
Twenty years ago, Gladys Hankerson in Florida dialed up her sister in Maryland for a chat. But she misdialed the area code and reached Mike Moffit in Rhode Island, Mike said Gladys was a bit shy but very sweet. Gladys loves her sister and tried to call again a few days later — and made the same mistake on the area code. Mike answered again and recognized Gladys’ voice. They had a nice chat and laughed about it. Since then their friendship has deepened — and it has carried on for 20 years.

24、World Poetry Day is on 21 March, and reciting a poem is a fantastic way to make the most of it. You could perform for your family at home. 【1】 Or you could even ask your teacher if you could recite a poem to your class. Reciting a poem is the perfect way to share with your friends a piece of work or an author you love.
Roger McGough is a poet and author whose new picture book Money-Go-Round came out last month. He says it's of great benefit to recite poetry in many aspects. 【2】 “I was very interested in reciting poems as a child, “he says.” Performing them was like theatre. It brought them alive for me.”
【3】 Once you have picked a poem, McGough says that you don't need to learn it byheart in order to recite it. “I always read from a book when I perform poetry.”
Before performing your recital, spend plenty of time practising the poem and getting to know the words' rhythms. “Try not to stop at the end of every line, especially if the sentences run on from each other,” says McGough. “ 【4】 With a lot of poetry, you' re discovering the words as you've set off on with words.”
Many people might be worried about feeling nervous. 【5】 Those who perform poetry well have learned to embrace them. “I still get nervous when I go on stage,” says McGough.
“The more you perform, the easier it gets.”
A．Reading is usually done alone.
B．You don't have to worry about forgetting the words.
C．It gives you confidence and helps with your reading.

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。
At first, Michael Surrell didn't see the black smoke or flames shooting from the windows of his neighbors' home. He and his wife had just parked around the corner from their own house in Allentown, Pennsylvania, when they got a call from one of his daughters: “The house next door is on fire! ” He went to investigate. That's when he saw a woman crying desperately on their porch.
“The baby' s in there! ” the woman cried. Though the fire department had been called, Surrell, then 64, instinctively ran inside. “The baby” was 8-year-old Tiara Roberts, the woman's granddaughter.
Entering the burning house was like “running into a bucket of black paint,” Surrell says. The thick smoke caused him to stumble blindly around, burned his eyes, and made it impossible to breathe. The conditions would have been dangerous to anyone, but for Surrell, who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （慢性阻塞性肺病）, they were life-threatening.
After a few minutes in the smoke-filled house, he retreated outside to catch his breath. Surrell knew he couldn't hold his breath for long. Taking a deep breath, he went in a second time. The darkness was overwhelming. Yet because the house had a similar layout （布局）to his, he found the stairs and made it to the second floor. He turned to the right and was met by intense heat. He was already out of breath.
His throat and lungs burned as if he'd breathed in fire instead of the smoke and soot in the air. Every blink stung his eyes. All he could hear was the crackling and popping of burning wood. Then a soft but distinct moan （呻吟声） emerged. Still unable to see, Surrell fell to his knees on the hot wood floor. He crawled toward the sound, feeling around for any sign of the girl.
注意：

Finally, he touched something — a shoe, then an ankle.

Surrell woke up in the hospital a couple of days later.
