21、When Nancy Flexer opened the door to her classroom near the end of her final school year, all 41 years of her career as a beloved first-grade teacher came to life right in front of her.
Cole Elementary School in Tennessee surprised Flexer with a memorable and emotional retirement party featuring former students of all ages, dating back to the first class she taught in the 1973-74 school year. A video of the event shows an overwhelmed Flexer being moved to tears as she hears former students who are now adults tell her how much she affected their lives.
"I'm one of the luckiest people in this world," Flexer said. "I remember I opened the door to the classroom thinking no one was in there, and it was wall-to-wall people and banners and everything. It was the coolest thing that could've ever happened in my life. How many times do we really realize the lives we've touched, the manner in which we've touched them, and that these are memories that stay with them for life?"
Despite being young when they were taught by Flexer, students easily recalled the heartwarming notes she wrote them on report cards, the ways she helped them overcome shyness and awkwardness, and how she inspired them to future academic success to earn scholarships and advanced degrees.
Even though Flexer hadn't seen some of the former students for decades, she instantly remembered the names of every single one there.
A scrapbook(剪贴簿) of her career was presented to her as one student after another recalled the effect Flexer had on his or her life.
“I’ve had many opportunities to move to a school closer to my home, but I said ‘Cole gave me so much in my life that when I retire, I will retire from Cole school and give back what’s been given to me.” Flexer said. “My career could’ve taken me nowhere that would have made me happier. I think of it as a blessing.”

D. was organized by Flexer’s students

23、Most countries chose a single city as their capital. But there are nations across the globe with two or more capital cities. As travelers wait out the coronavirus pandemic, armchair traveling and hopefully planning their next adventures, consider which capital of these countries to visit in future—either or perhaps both?
South Africa: Pretoria, Cape Town and Bloemfontein
This is the only country to have three capital cities, a special arrangement designed to share power across regions. With a spectacular location between the shoreline and Table Mountain, Cape Town was the capital of Britain’s Cape Colony and remains the legislative (立法的) capital of South Africa. By dividing the remaining branches of government between Pretoria and Bloemfontein, the Republic of South Africa helped distribute power across the new country.
Netherlands: Amsterdam and The Hague
With a reputation as one of Europe’s hottest party spots, Amsterdam has plenty of name recognition. But even though the Netherlands’ constitution appoints the city as the country’s capital by law, the real work of governing takes place in The Hague. The Netherlands’ main governing bodies have been located in this great city for centuries.
Malaysia: Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya
Featuring with a combination of minarets, stylish towers and street markets, Kuala Lumpur is a representative example of Malaysian life and culture. It’s the national capital, too, the seat of the legislature and the official home of Malaysia’s monarch. But even governments need a break from big-city life. In 1995, the government began constructing Putrajaya, a quieter metropolis that wraps around a massive artificial lake. The new capital makes up for what it lacks in heritage in space.
【1】Which city is the best choice for a party goer?
A．Pretoria.
B．Bloemfontein.
C．Amsterdam.
D．The Hague.
【2】The government of Malaysia selected Putrajaya as a capital city mainly because ________.
A．the city is historic
B．the city is vast in area
C．it can help distribute power
D．it can satisfy the people of the country
【3】What do Cape Town and Kuala Lumpur have in common?
A．They are cities in South Africa.
B．They are cultural centers of their countries.
C．They are legislative capital cities of their countries.
D．They are where their main government bodies locate in.
24、 One theory is that kissing all began when cavemen began licking (舔) their neighbours’ faces for the salt on them. But whatever it might have been for, the fact remains that, in one form or another, kissing has been widespread, though it developed mostly in the West.
Ancient Greek and Roman parents kissed their children, and lovers or married people kissed each other, as did friends. In the Middle Ages (the period in European history between about 1100 and 1500 AD) knights kissed before doing battle. Early Christians were often kissed to express respect.
Kissing is very much a cultural practice, and rules and attitudes vary across the globe. The French, who have had quite a lot of kissing practice, have turned kissing into a fine social art, although these days, even they are not sure when or how to do it. Many French kiss one another three, or even more, times. It can sometimes go on for a long time. Italians are enthusiastic kissers at all times, and they have been for centuries. Arabic men greet one another with kisses, as do Arabic women. Russian men too are often seen greeting one another with kisses, and it is especially noticeable in the world of Russia, where the three-kiss greeting has become a social behavior. The British, though, remain shy about social kissing. The Japanese, along with many Asian peoples, consider kissing, at least in public, as a Western custom and sometimes even offensive (冒犯的). Kissing has, however, become more commonplace in some Asian countries in the past few years.
But kissing does seem to be on the increase. We kiss people we used to hug, we hug people we used to shake hands with, and we shake hands with those we used to nod to.
【1】What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The importance of kissing. B.Kissing in the Middle Ages.
C.Different reasons for kissing. D.The early development of kissing.
【2】What can we learn about kissing in France?
A.It influences other countries. B.It seems a bit confusing.
C.It always changes. D.It takes less time.
【3】Where is social kissing least popular?
A.In Britain. B.In Russia. C.In France. D.In Italy.
【4】What does the underlined sentence try to say?
A.Kisses are more welcome than hugs. B.People’s manners are getting friendlier.
C.Kissing is a better way to show respect. D.There are many different forms of greeting.

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Jenny was the only child in her home. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help crying when she thought of the scolding (责骂) from her mother. Having wandered (徘徊) in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a shop for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy cooking noodles. However, she had no money.
The seller in the shop noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?”
“Oh, yes...but I don’t have money on me,” she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man.
“Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it?” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny.“Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother didn’t care for me. A stranger is much better than her!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you count the times she cooked for you? Have you ever said “Thanks” to her?”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock. she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered (沧桑的) hands.“Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel thankful, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny decided to say sorry to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
