21、 As we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we've yet to get around to. Yet re-readers are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually. One friend told me that Jane Austen's Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times.
New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading. Journalist Rebecca Mead first came across George Eliot's Middlemarch at 17. Since then, she has read it again every five years. With each re-reading, it has opened up further; in each chapter of her life, it has resonated differently. Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we re-read them. These kinds of books grow with us.
Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading. Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the “what” and the “why”, Second time round, we're able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express. As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University explained, returning to a book “brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers.”
It's true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books. (if we're fond of making notes on the pages). These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then. We're changed not only by lived experience but also by read experience-by the books that we've discovered since last reading the one in our hand.
Perhaps what's really strange is that we don't re-read more often. After all, we watch our favourite films again and we wouldn't think of listening to an album only once. We treasure messy old paintings as objects, yet of all art forms, literature alone is a largely one-time delight. A book, of course, takes up more time, but as Mead confirms, the rewards make it adequately worthwhile.
【1】The two books are mentioned in Paragraph 1 mainly to________.
A．attract the attention of readers
B．introduce the topic of the passage
C．provide some background information
D．show the similarity between re-readers
【2】What is Mead' attitude towards re-reading the books?
A．Positive.
B．Carefree.
C．Tolerant.
D．Unwilling.
【3】It can be learned from paragraph 4 that ________.
A．reading benefits people both mentally and physically
B．readers mainly focus on feelings on their first reading
C．we know ourselves better through re-reading experience
D．we will change writers by reading the books
【4】The writing purpose of the passage is to ________.
A．call on different understandings of re-reading old books
B．argue against the mental health benefits of re-reading
C．bring awareness to the significance of re-reading
D．introduce the effective ways of re-reading old books
22、After the recent storms, many Texans have been in desperate need of a plumber (管道工). Unfortunately, with pipes burst all over the state, and plumbing materials difficult to find, many families have been left without water and with their homes flooded.
In response to the cry for help from overwhelmed plumbers in the south, Andrew Mitchell and his family loaded up their car with $ 2,000 worth of materials and drove down to Texas to help.
The plumber, his wife, Kisha Pinnock, their two-year-old son, and brother-in-law, also his apprentice (学徒)，Isiah Pinnock, made the 22-hour journey from their home in New Jersey with all the materials they could financially afford. Their first stop was to help Pinnock's sister in Humble, Texas.

“It's really a blessing to be a blessing to other people and Andrew truly enjoys the work," she explained, adding, "plumbing is his passion."
The family has been in Texas for nearly a week, and they wish to continue helping others as long as they have the materials to do so. There's a huge need for their services lot of the people we've helped were telling us they either can't get a plumber on the phone or一if they do get one on the phone一the wait to be serviced is three to four weeks out, so they can't have water during that entire time,” Pinnock pointed out.

24、Secrets of the Rainbow
The storm is over: the sun is shining. But when you go outside, the rain is still falling, and you see a breathtaking sight in the sky: a shimmering arch of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple light. No pot of gold sits at that rainbow’s end.【1】 Rainbows are rare because they need two things that don’t often go together: sunlight and rain.【2】But it contains all the colors of the rainbow. A rainbow appears when raindrops split these colors apart, letting us see them.
In empty space, all these colors travel equally fast: 671 million miles an hour. But when sunlight passes through water, it slows down. 【3】 These differences in speed make a rainbow. Red light goes fastest. Orange is almost as fast. Yellow is a little slower, and green is a little slower than that. Blue is slower still, and purple light is the slowest.
As light enters water, it bends, or refracts (折射). The amount of refraction depends on how fast the light travels through water. So once sunlight enters a raindrop, the different colors split apart and travel separate paths. 【4】 They exit the front of the raindrop, bending again as they go from water to air. So they are still on separate paths, with the different colors next to one another, and you see a rainbow when you look at the falling raindrops.
After you find a rainbow, look for a second rainbow outside the main one. It’s called a secondary rainbow and is usually fainter, so it’s harder to see. 【5】 The main rainbow has red on top and purple on bottom. The secondary rainbow has red on bottom and purple on top.
A．Sunlight usually looks pale.
B．Its colors are in the opposite order.
C．Instead, a rainbow is its own reward.
D．There’s more to a rainbow than we can see.
E．Some colors go through water faster than others.
F．Then the colors reflect off the back of the raindrop.
G．A rainbow only needs the right mix of sunlight and rain.
