21、We all have some people whom we respect very much, like our family members, our friends or our teachers.
Respect often means different things to different people. There are several aspects that many people can agree on, though. For example, at its most basic level, respect means being kind and considerate to others.
Respect can take many forms. Don’t make fun of others. Put yourself in other people’s shoes and think about how they feel. Remember the Golden Rule: treat others the same way you’d want to be treated.
Respect is important because it sets the proper stage for all our human interactions. Friendship, love, and even basic communication must all start with respect.
Everyone wants to be respected. To get respect, though, you must also show respect for others. It’s always a two-way street. You can’t be impolite to others and expect respect in return.
It’s easy to show respect. Be polite. Look for the best in people rather than concentrating on their mistakes. Show compassion to others and try to put their interests before your own. Make others comfortable when they’re uneasy. Help out whenever you can. When you pay it forward, amazing things can happen.
And be respectful to everyone. The world is an unbelievably huge place filled with billions of people, each one of whom is unique and special. And they all deserve your respect!
Be careful, though. Not everyone will show you respect all the time. In fact, you’ll probably see examples of impolite behaviour each and every day. How you respond to impolite behaviour, though, can make a huge difference.
If you choose to respond to impolite behaviour by acting rudely yourself, you’ve gained nothing. You’ve only continued the pattern of impolite behaviour and set a bad example. Instead, act respectfully and set a good example. Consistently acting respectfully might just help others learn from your example!
【1】According to the Golden Rule, __________.
A. you’d better walk in others’ shoes
B. you can’t play jokes on other people
C. you should pay attention to your feelings
D. the way you are treated depends on yourself
【2】By saying “It’s always a two-way street” in Paragraph 4, the writer probably wants to tell us “______”.
A. People should respect each other B. It is always safe to walk in the street
C. Some leave and others come back D. There is only one street to go through
【3】The fifth paragraph is mainly written to tell us ______.
A. where to find respect B. how to correct mistakes
C. when to help others in time D. how to show respect for others
【4】According to the passage, what should we do if someone is impolite to us?
A. Show him/her true respect. B. Leave him/her alone.
C. Be kind to him/her sometimes. D. Set a special example to others.
22、Dear God,
Now that I am no longer young. I have friends whose mothers have passed away. I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully thanked their mothers until it was too late to tell them.
I am blessed with the dear mother who is still alive. I appreciate her devotion more each day. My mother does not change, but I do. As I grow older and wiser, I realize what an extraordinary person the is. It’s sad that I am unable to say these words in her presence, but they flow easily from my pen.
How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself? For the love, patience and just plain hard work that go into raising a child? For running after a toddler, for understanding a moody teenager, and for tolerating a college student who knows everything? For wailing for the day when the daughter realizes what her mother really is?
How does a grown woman thank a mother for continuing to be a mother? For being ready with advice when asked or remaining silent when it is needed? For not saying “I told you so.” when she could have voiced these words dozens of times? For being essentially herself — loving, thoughtful, patient and forgiving?
I don’t know how to thank her, dear God, except to bless her and live up to the example she has set. I pray that I will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother looks in mine.

Subject: Office rental
Marilyn,
Here’s a link to an office rental ad I found online: www.offices.com/10-01. I think it’s worth looking at even though the rent is a bit high. I know it is a good deal more than we are paying now, but look at the size. It’s twice as big as our current office, and I’m sure we can use the space. And it has a kitchen, a bathroom and a reception area just like we have now. Unfortunately it is nowhere near a subway station. That is a convenience I would miss having, but it does have parking, unlike our current office. I’m sure our customers would appreciate that. It would also be good to be in a building with an elevator. I’m really tired of using the stairs. I’d like to see the space as soon as possible. Could you call and make an appointment? Try and get one for tomorrow if you can, because after that I’ll be away until next Monday, as you know. Thanks.
Paul

24、 When Trudy stepped into the water on August 6, 1926, few people thought the nineteen-year-old had a chance of swimming the Channel. Although the narrow sea that separates England from France is only twenty-one miles wide, the tides are dangerous, the water is freezing cold, and the weather is unpredictable. To make matters worse, the Channel is filled with seaweed, stinging jellyfish, and heavy ship traffic.
The Channel was so dangerous that by 1926 only five people in history had been able to swim across it, and all of them had been men. “Women must admit that in contests of physical skill, speed and endurance, they must remain forever the weaker sex,” a London newspaper had said just one day before Trudy’s swim. Trudy was determined to prove this view wrong.
Actually, Trudy had tried to swim the Channel once before. In August of 1925, Trudy had come within six miles of England. Then she had gotten horribly seasick, so her trainer had to pull her out of the water.
The sea was a chilly sixty-one degrees Fahrenheit when Trudy dived into the water off Cape Gris-Nez, France, at 7:09 a.m. Trudy had chosen this day for her swim because weather forecasts were favorable. But at 1:30 p.m. it started to rain. Within a few hours a storm struck the Channel. By 6:00 p.m. it seemed hopeless. The waves and tide were so fierce that for every few yards Trudy swam, she was pushed back twice as many. She fought the storm for three more hours and finally arrived at Kingsdown, England, at 9:40 p.m. She had been in the water for fourteen hours and thirty-one minutes. Trudy wasn’t just the first woman to swim the Channel, she was the fastest person to swim it. She had smashed the world-record time by almost two hours.
But Trudy’s swim had taken a toll on her body, especially her hearing. Trudy eventually gave up professional swimming and became a swimming instructor for deaf children.
【1】Why is the Channel hard to swim across?
A．The Channel is too wide to cross.
B．The weather there is unpleasant.
C．Waves and tides are rough all the time.
D．Underwater creatures add to difficulties.
【2】What the newspaper said in paragraph 2 showed a(n) ________ attitude toward Trudy’s swim.
A．Skeptical.
B．Objective.
C．Ambiguous.
D．Supportive.
【3】The underlined phrase “taken a toll on” can be best replaced by ________.
A．built up
B．caused damage to
C．mentally influenced
D．slowed the growth of
【4】What was Trudy’s achievement?
A．She swam the Channel successfully at first attempt.
B．She swam in the water for more than 14 hours nonstop.
C．She set a new world record for swimming the Channel.
D．She was the best swimming instructor for deaf kids.

26、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
To celebrate International Firefighters’ Day, a town’s special school for orphans held a special meet and greeted with the local fire department. That year, the firemen had stopped a forest fire before it could reach houses and buildings. The local newspaper celebrated their feat(功绩)with a front-page story.
The town’s firefighters came to the school dressed in uniform and answered all the kids’ questions. Captain Joshua was the department leader and explained each team member’s role.
After the demonstration, the kids presented the firemen with drawings they had made in class. All of the pictures were inspired by the firemen’s heroics.
A young boy named David approached Joshua with his drawing. Joshua noticed that the young boy had a birthmark in the same spot as his burn mark.
“Nice drawing, little man. Hey, I guess we’re kind of the same,” Joshua told him while pointing at his burn mark. David blushed and smiled. The young boy had another request for Joshua but was too shy to ask at first. David turned to his teacher, Mrs Humphries, for approval, and she gave him a thumbs up.
“Would it be all right if I came to the fire station to see all the equipment and look at the trucks?” David asked timidly. The young boy explained that he dreamed of one day becoming a fireman, which is why he wanted to learn as much as possible.
Captain Joshua told David he would be happy to give the tour, but only if Mrs Humphries agreed. “I’d be happy to accompany you and David on a tour of the station, but there is some- thing you should know, ” Mrs Humphries told the captain.
While watching the young boy playing with his friends, the teacher took a deep breath before saying, “The reason why he’s so obsessed(着迷的)with firemen is that he lost his parents in a fire. ” Captain Joshua decided that the trip would be beneficial for David and agreed to the tour.
