21、I was waiting for my train and on the subway station’s floor was a man just sitting there. I looked around and nobody stopped so I just went my way. After a few steps, I turned and asked him whether he needed help. He told me his house was one station further and he would only need to take the train there. So I reached for his hand to help him stand up.
He wanted to take the stairs but I feared that he would hurt himself since he seemed too weak to walk, so I asked him to take the elevator. Even though my mind was trying to turn the danger lights on, I put the thought that I should not go alone with a drunken man out of my mind and accompanied him on the elevator.
We arrived on the platform with no incidents. The man’s knees seemed to soften, so I asked him to rest on a bench. While sitting there, he thanked me, telling me that I saved him. No, I said, I really did nothing; he saved himself as he walked on his own feet.
At the next station, we said our goodbyes. Before I knew it, he left 100 dollars and dashed out of the train. There was no way to give him back his money. I wanted to leave it on the seat, but a young woman who thought it belonged to me ran after me and gave me the note.
My initial reaction to getting that money was of shame and I even felt offended. Then I thought he just wanted to thank me, the best way he knew how. Now, my question is—what act of kindness shall I do with these 100 dollars?

22、As millions of playthings are recalled, doctors are reminded that the risks of lead exposure continue for young patients.
Lead is such a well-known health(危害)- perhaps even contributing to the fall of the Roman Empire- that it came as a shock to discover that toys played by children could contain lead. Doctors are now dealing with the aftershocks.
Just how dangerous is this exposure? That’s the question physicians are being asked by parents who find a lead-polluted Elmo, of Dora. Millions of others toys, lunch boxes and pieces of jewelry manufactured in China have been recalled because they contain lead either in the paint that coats them or as a component of the plastic used to make the item more flexible. The lead content in some of the toys recalled this summer was 180 times the amount allowed by law. Some pieces of jewelry were almost 100% lead.
Experts advise that the items do cause a risk and that doctors should urge parents to check the comprehensive lists of recalled products on the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s Web site and return any appearing on those lists to the manufacturers.
If exposure is suspected, a blood test is in order . Since there is no safe level of this universal (普遍存在的) element, the risk face by children for lead poisoning and its accompanying threat of learning disabilities and behavior problems is considerable.
Doctors who have toys in their waiting rooms also are advised to see if any of them have been recalled and to check for chipped, flaking paint-even on those that haven’t yet been recalled—since new announcements of toy risk continue.
【1】 Why does the author mention “the fall of the Roman Empire”?
A. To tell us a strange story.

B. The name of a girl.
C. The name of a toy.
D. The name of a toy company.
【3】What should parents do if they are not sure whether their kids have ever touched such toys or not?
A. They should ask the experts for advice.
B. They should have a medical examination.
C. They should have their children blood-tested.
D. They should collect all the toys and check online first.
【4】 From the report we can infer that_____.
A. children who are exposed to lead have learning disabilities
B. the unsafe toys have all been listed on the website
C. lead is used mainly to make the products flexible
D. some toy and jewelry manufacturers will suffer heavy losses

26、阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Two years ago, Li Yuhua’s daughter taught her how to shop online. Since then, the 51-year-old farmer in Wushan has been a regular online shopper. Shoppers like Li Yuhua are the new target for China’s e-commerce giants,including Alibaba Group, which operates the Taobao platform, and JD. com. Rural China added 3 million more Internet users in the first half the year, bringing the total number to 225 million, or 26. 3% of the country’s total Internet population of 854 million, according to a report on rural e-commerce development released last week by the China International Electronic Commerce Network. That helped improve rural online sales in the first half of the year by 21 % to $109. 6 billion, outpacing the national growth rate by 3.2 percentage points.
“However, it is a little bit early to say that China’s e-commerce battlefield is moving to rural China,” said Chen Tao, a senior analyst. Unlike urban residents, most rural Chinese haven’t experienced e-commerce shopping. While that provides online platforms with one of the least undeveloped markets for e-commerce, progress has been slow due to the lack of infrastructure(基础设施)and logistics(物流)support.
To address that problem, one of China’s largest e-commerce operators, JD. com hired more deliverymen and tested drone(无人机)delivery services to improve service in rural China. Alibaba Group, China’s largest e-commerce player,announced in April last year that it had invested $717 million in Huitongda Network Co. Ltd, which helps to boost sales in 15,000 towns across 18 provinces.
Another inhibiting factor in the development of rural e-commerce is the income gap. In 2018, annual per capita disposable income(人均可支配收入)in rural areas was 14,600 yuan compared with 39,300 yuan in cities. “Lower disposable incomes in rural areas limit the consumption,” said analyst Chen. It also takes time to educate rural residents to accept e-commerce services as most of them are new to online shopping. There is still a long way to go to popularise online shopping in rural China.’’
