22、The Red Cross is known for carrying out some of the most heroic acts in the world. There are Red Cross societies in 190 countries all over the world. Their task is to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of sudden serious situations by organizing volunteers and the people who want to donate(捐献).
In 1860, Swiss businessman and social activist, Jean Henri Dunant, saw the effects of war, and countries not prepared or able to deal with the suffering of those who had been injured in the Battle of Solferino during the second War of Italian Independence. Dunant organized a group of volunteers to help bring water and food to the injured, to help with medical treatment, or to write letters to the families of those who were dying. After that moment, he knew that more had to be done, and he wrote the book, A Memory of Solferino, which encouraged the public to create an organization which would help the wounded. His writing encouraged more people to support him in creating the International Federation of the Red Cross. And in 1863, International Committee of the Red Cross was founded.
The modern-day Red Cross does more than nursing soldiers during wartime. The group began to devote itself largely to disaster relief (灾难救援) and epidemic (流行病) treatment. It has achieved even greater service in humanitarian (人道主义的) programs that serve continuously in both peace and war.
One of the easiest ways you can help the Red Cross is to make sure you are able to donate blood and make an appointment at the Red Cross website. But, donating blood isn’t the only way you can help out —the Red Cross also encourages you to donate your time if you can, along with other things the modern-day Red Cross wants you to know.

B．To ask more people to help the wounded.
C．To let people see the cruelty of wars.
D．To call on people to stop wars.
【3】What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A．To introduce the Red Cross website.
B．To explain the Red Cross’s future work.
C．To show how the Red Cross helps needy people.
D．To encourage people to offer help to the Red Cross.

24、I have a particular lunch bag kept with me for maybe 14 years. But actually it belongs to my daughter, Molly.
Soon after she came of school age，she became an enthusiastic participant in packing lunches for herself，her brothers and me. Each bag got a share of sandwiches，apples，milk and sometimes a note. One morning，Molly handed me two bags，one regular lunch sack and the other one with paper clips (纸夹) on it.
“Why two bags?””
“The other one is something else. ”
“What's in it?”
“Just some stuff. Please take it with you.”she replied and then I put both sacks into my briefcase, kissed the child and rushed off At midday, after having my lunch from one bag, I opened the other one and shook out the things inside. Two hair ribbons, three small stones, a plastic dinosaur, a tiny seashell, two animal crackers, a marble, a used lipstick, a small doll, two chocolate kisses and 13 pennies.
I thought they were useless, and then threw them into the wastebasket.
That evening Molly came to stand beside me while I was reading the paper.
“Where's my bag?”
“What bag?”
“You know the one I gave you this morning.”
“I left it at the office, why?”
"I forgot to put this note in it.“She handed over the note, "Besides, I want it back.”
“why?”
“Those are my things in the sack, Daddy, the ones I really like. I thought you might be very happy to play with them like me, but now I want them back. You didn't lose the bag, did you, Daddy?”Tears welled up in her eyes.
“Oh, no. I just forgot to bring it home.”I lied, “Bring it tomorrow. Okay?”
As she hugged my neck with relief, I found the words on the note —“I love you, Daddy.”I felt moved as well as a little ashamed. I looked at the face of my child for a long time.
Molly had given me her treasures -all that a 7-year-old considered important. That was “Love” in a paper sack. But not only had I missed it, but also 1 had thrown it away because “there wasn't anything in there I needed.”
The next morning，after kissing my girl，I hurried to my office. I picked up the wastebasket and poured the contents on my desk. I gently washed the mustard (芥末) off my girl's treasures and spraying (喷洒) them with breath freshener to kill the smell of onions. And then put them into the bag again. The next evening，I returned it to Molly.
After dinner I asked her to tell me about the stuff in the sack. Happy and excited, she placed the objects in a row on the dining room table and explained them to me one by one. I found that each of the objects had a story, a memory or was attached to dreams and friends that meant a lot to Molly. Since I was Molly's beloved father, she was willing to share what she considered important with me.
Later, to my surprise, Molly gave the bag to me once again several days later. Same ratty bag. Same stuff inside. I felt forgiven. And trusted. And loved. And a little more comfortable wearing the title of Father. Over several months, the bag went with me from time to time. And I have kept it with me until today.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
External rewards: yes or no?
Some argue that students' interests should emerge organically and genuinely from their own investigations of the world. The educational philosopher John Dewey warned teachers against artificially "making things interesting", and a long line of research has shown that providing "extrinsic", or external, rewards for an activity can weaken students' "intrinsic", or internal, motivation to engage in that activity.
But research also shows that, done carefully, the intentional elicitation (引出) of interest has many positive effects, and does not produce the negative results that educators may fear. Especially for academically unmotivated students, it's of primary importance that the adults in their lives create environments that allow them to find and develop their interests. And parents and educators can promote the development of kids' interests by demonstrating their own passion for particular subjects.
Two more thoughts on intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation: although research has convincingly established the value of intrinsic interest, in the real world most of us are driven by a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. High-achieving students learn for learning's sake, but also to get A's; successful business people are driven to create useful products or productive organizations, but also to enjoy financial rewards. There is nothing wrong with this mixing of motives.
Second, when intrinsic motivation is entirely absent, there's nothing to weaken with an external incentive. Parents and teachers are sometimes reluctant to offer a reward to a young person for doing something he or she "should" like for its own sake---a monetary bonus for reading a book, for example. But if the kid shows no interest in reading the book in the first place, there's no intrinsic motivation to weaken. And if the student does read the book in order to get the money---and discovers that reading is actually pretty fun---that's a win for everybody.
In short, while motivation is more complex than we sometimes assume, there is clearly a role for parents and educators to push young people's interests gently along.
