21、The American book Who Moved My Cheese has been a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens. The book tells us that when facing changes in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don't be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life. The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students.
Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two "little people" and some cheese.
The four are in a maze (迷宫) looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, likemoving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can't change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people,however, can't do this. They are afraid of changes so they find no cheese.
After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move m a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.

22、When I visited the remote Swedish town. of Alvdalen, I was immediately struck by the forest-covered valley in which it is situated. I was set to meet the last speakers of Elfdalian. The language is currently used only by about 2,500 people, but it has preserved language features that are to be found nowhere else in Scandinavia.
Elfdalian is unique among Nordic (北欧人的) languages, with different tones and sounds. Even the grammar and vocabulary are unlike Swedish. So, while speakers of Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish are able to have simple conversations and understand each other, it is not so with Elfdalian. While Elfdalian originated from the same region as Swedish, it is completely baffling to non-local people.
For centuries, it was unnecessary for the majority of the native Elfdalian-speaking population to learn standard Swedish or other languages, as most trade and economio networks occurred within local areas. Elfdalian remained an active language until the 20th century.
However, with increased mobility and the arrival of mass media, speakers of Elfdalian shifted to Swedish. At present, only half of the residents of Alvdalen speak it, and of the youngest generation, only about 60 children under the age of 15 are fluent in it.
During my visit, I was lucky to be introduced to a group of language activists united under the name Ulum Dalska. Attempts are being made by these local enthusiasts to revive (复苏) the language. After many years of action; Ulum Dalska has recently been successful in convincing the local authorities to start up an Elfdalian-speaking group at the local preschool. This means that, for the first time in history, Elfdalian has made its official entry into the Swedish schooling system.
On the whole, more and more people seem to be convinced of the preciousness of Elfdalian and the need to preserve it for future generations. And in a globalizing world, the right attitude is perhaps the most important step towards a full language recovery.
【1】Why did the author go to the town of Alvdalen?

【2】Which of the following best explains “baffling” underlined in Paragraph 2?

D.Beyond the comprehension.
【3】What contributed to Elfdalian’s role as an active language before the 20th century?
A.The huge Elfdalian-speaking population.
B.The self-sufficient economy among the locals.
C.The natives’ refusal to accept other languages.
D.The high economic status of Elfdalian-speaking areas.
【4】What do we know about Ulum Dalska?
A.It aims to protect Elfdalian.
B.It is financed by the government.
C.It was initiated by language experts.
D.It tries to reform the teaching philosophy.
【5】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.An encounter with some language activists in Alvdalen

C.Elfdalian, an old tongue, set to come to life
D.Globalization is an unavoidable trend
23、 This year, German environmentalists collected 1.75 million signatures for a “save the bees” law requiring an immediate change toward organic farming. But to create healthy ecosystems worldwide, people in communities across the globe will need to take similar action based on sympathy for insects — and not only for bees and butterflies. The environmentalists presented immediate, science-based actions to slow down the insect decline.
“It takes specific law to preserve the amazing variety of insects in the world and we need to stop the destroying of natural habitats, limit road building in parks and reserves and produce food without the use of pesticides,” said Basset, an entomologist, “Conserving insects is not the same as conserving big animals or rare frogs. You can’t keep millions of insects in a zoo.”
A recent article in Entomology Today suggests that successful programs to save insects have a clear and simple objective and a strategically chosen audience. By focusing on bees and butterflies and other beautiful, familiar insects, it is possible to enact the law to protect the habitat of lesser known, less attractive, but equally important species.
But there are still huge gaps in information about how different species of insects are doing, especially in the tropics. “It is next to useless to weigh insects collected in an area and say that insect communities are increasing or declining.” Basset said. “We need much more specific information. That is expensive and difficult because of the effort that it takes just to identify the species, especially in the tropics. What we are doing now is to group insects by their main function, and then to determine how each group is doing in a specific area of the world.”
【1】What should people do to protect insects according to the text?
A.Stop building roads in parks and reserves.
B.Open up more natural habitats.
C.Avoid using pesticides for crops.
D.Keep them in a zoo.
【2】What can we learn from the successful programs to save insects?
A.They have set up laws.
B.They focus on specific species.
C.They conserve important species.
D.They protect the habitat of lesser known species.
【3】What are the environmentalists doing now?
A.Classifying the insects.
B.Identifying the species of insects.
C.Doing research on insects’ function.
D.Weighing insects collected in an area.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Helping Insects Is Helping Ourselves!
B.Take Action! Insects Need Protection!
C.Save the Bees — They Need Your Help!
D.Insect Decline: Where Have All the Insects Gone?
