22、 Some houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won an Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects.
Located on the shore of Sullivan’s Island off the coast of South Carolina, the award-winning cube shaped beach house was built to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane Hugo 10 years ago. In September 1989, Hugo struck South Carolina, killing 18 people and damaging or destroying 36,000 homes in the state.
Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolina’s shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement of building codes wasn’t strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. In Hugo’s wake, all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better-enforced code. The new beach house on Sullivan’s Island should be able to withstand a Categ hurricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour.
At first sight, the house on Sullivan’s Island looks anything but hurricane-proof. Its redwood shell makes it resemble “a large party lantern” at night, according to one observer. But looks can be deceiving. The house’s wooden frame is reinforced with long steel rods to give it extra strength.
To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings—long, slender columns of wood anchored deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also elevate the house above storm surges. The pilings allow the surges to run under the house instead of running into it. “These swells of water come ashore at tremendous speeds’ and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings,” said Huff.
Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially concealed by the house’s ground-to-roof shell. “The shell masks the pilings so that the house doesn’t look like it’s standing with its pant legs pulled up,” said Huff. In the event of a storm surge, the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect explained.
【1】After the tragedy caused by Hurricane Hugo, new houses built along South Carolina’s shore line are required ________.
A．to be designed in the shape of cubes.
B．to meet stricter building standards.
C．to look smarter in design.
D．to be easily reinforced.
【2】The award-winning beach house is quite strong because ________.
A．it is made of redwood.
B．it is in the shape of a shell.
C．it is strengthened by steel rods.
D．it is built with timber and concrete.
【3】Huff raised the house 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings in order to ________.
A．prevent water from rushing into the house.
B．withstand peak winds of about 200 km/hr.
C．anchor stronger pilings deep in the sand.
D．break huge sea waves into smaller ones.
【4】The main function of the shell is ________.
A．to strengthen the pilings of the house.
B．to give the house a better appearance.
C．to protect the wooden frame of the house.
D．to slow down the speed of the swelling water.
【5】It can be inferred from the passage that the shell should be ________.
A．easily breakable.
B．fancy-looking.
C．extremely strong.
D．waterproof.

24、The art of being a good adviser
Think back to the last time you were discussing a problem at work and someone broke in to offer their opinion. 【1】 Probably not. Every time we rush in to give advice, we are releasing our inner “advice monster”. Sometimes it needs to be stopped, because in our hurry we are likely to give the wrong advice. So try the following steps when you have strong desire to say something.
·Be aware of its coming. The first step toward controlling the “advice monster” is to pay attention to just how quickly it appears. 【2】 So please think twice before your action.
·【3】 Leader as you are, you can’t be the expert in everything. It's stressful to put that pressure on yourself. The answer to the problem is coaching. It involves helping others think out their own solutions to the problems, which means asking questions rather than offering advice only.
·Know something about the art of expressing. If you do decide to go ahead to ask questions or speak out answers, express them in a more acceptable way. 【4】
Offering advice in the right way, you can help people acquire smarter solutions. 【5】 Being a better adviser, you’ll extend your influence and learn from the people who come to you for guidance.
A．Ask more questions.
B．Did you welcome his advice?
C．And also they can sharpen their decision making.
D．The quicker it appears, the worse situation you will be in.
E．If so, others can choose to welcome or ignore it without anyone losing face.

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。
Once when I was young and had a loose tooth, I asked my father, a dentist, to look at it.
“It needs to be pulled，” he told me. I frowned, afraid of the pain of that experience. My dad sent me for some tissues and I imagined them soaking up liters of blood from my mouth. I closed my eyes and strengthened myself. I was still waiting for him to pull when I heard my father say, “I’m done.”
I opened my eyes and saw my tooth in his tissuecovered hand. I hadn’t felt anything, and there was just a bit of blood on the tissues. I thought my father was a magician.
The next day at school I bragged to a friend about my father’s wonderful skill. When I explained that the process didn’t hurt, my friend called me a liar. He said that when his tooth was pulled, it had hurt a lot. I talked to my father about this and there was not a single mystery left after my father’s explanation: my tooth had been ready to be removed, while my friend’s had not.
“I’m going to be a dentist，” I declared. I wanted to follow in the professional footsteps of my father, my uncle and grandmother. My father supported my ambition, honoring my interest in his profession even when I was young. He always encouraged me, saying，“To achieve your goal, you should always be devoting hard work and effort to it.”
I didn’t need to visit my father’s office as a child because I had few cavities. As I entered the elementary school and began eating more candy, however, I visited more often. I didn’t mind, though. I was the only kid I knew who was excited about going to the dentist. After my father worked on my teeth, he let me hang around. And I was amazed as he operated complicated machines, leaning over patients’ mouths with a tiny mirror strapped to his head.
