21、One Chicago kindergartner wanted to feed the homeless instead of holding a birthday party.
Armani Crews, who turned 6 earlier this month, had been begging her parents for “a few months ”to feed homeless people in her community, but her parents thought “she was joking”. Her mother, Artesha Crews, told ABC News.
“I said, ‘OK, we’ll make some sandwiches,’ to which Armani said, ‘No. I want the same thing we’d have at my birthday party,’ ” her mother recalled.
Even when her father, Antoine, informed her that if she wanted to go through with this, she wouldn’t get a birthday gift, the girl, whose birthday was on March 5, persisted.
So the Chicago family spent about $300 buying food to deliver to homeless people in the city’s East Garfield Park neighborhood. They purchased chicken, fish, spaghetti, corn, green Deans, mashed potatoes, rolls, cake, cookies, fruit and water.
After Armani mentioned her plan at the family’s local church, congregation members donated other items to create care packages for the homeless. Each care package included a toothbrush, toothpaste, and a snack, such as a granola bar and so on.
Armani’s birthday party was a success, with the family feeding more than 125 people who gathered.
In a statement, the kindergarten student told ABC News, “It was nice to be nice.” Her mother added, “She was excited. She was happy. Everybody was being fed.....One of the gentlemen said he hadn’t had a hot meal in a long time.”
Now the 6-year-old wants to host another community meal for the homeless. Her mother said the family plans to return to the park “within the next couple of weeks”. They hope more and more people will give a hand to the massive homeless people in Chicago.

22、There are four main areas when it comes to your dog’s body language — his ears and face, eyes, nose and tail. If you pay attention to those things, you’ll find you are able to easily understand how your dog is feeling.
Ears and face
The head of a dog is more expressive than you think. If you say a word that he recognizes, like his name or something you say often, his ears will get up. His mouth is another good instruction. A mouth that is wide open to pant (喘气) with some sound suggests that the dog is happy — some people even say when a dog is panting, he is laughing as he cools himself. A tongue sticking out suggests that the dog is in a good mood.
Eyes
To a dog, purple and blue are both seen as shades of blue. Red is seen as black or dark grey. Orange, yellow and green are seen as various shades of yellow. This means that, to a dog, bright orange toys are the same yellow shade. If you want your dog to clearly see his toys in the green grass you’d better give the dog blue toys; if you have orange, yellow or green toys, the dog will be able to find them with his nose.
Nose
A dog can both sniff and breathe through his nose. Breathing is for air, but when dogs sniff with short breaths they are actually following some scents (气味) with his keen (灵敏的) nose. When a dog is overheated, his sense of smell is reduced by as much as 40 percent and he uses the air to cool himself rather than for smelling. Puppies’ noses can help find their mother when their eyes and ears are closed. The function will disappear by the time they are adults.
Tail
Lastly, you need to pay attention to your dog’s tail, because it shows what he is thinking and feeling. A dog that is in a good mood will have a tail that seems to be going a mile a minute — wagging, and excited. However, an angry or frightened dog will have his tail between his legs.
【1】The author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph is to _____.
A. advise you to look after your dog
B. introduce the topic of the passage
C. explain what is body language
D. call on anyone to protect dogs
【2】When your dog feels happy, he will _____.
a. keep his mouth wide open soundlessly
b. bark all the time in front of you
c. open his mouth to breathe with some sound
d. keep his tongue sticking out
A. a, b B. c, d C. a, d D. b, c
【3】Why does your dog use his nose when looking for orange, yellow or green toys in the grass?
A. Because he wants to show how keen his nose is.
B. Because his nose is keener than his eyes in the open air.
C. Because he can’t tell the difference between toys and grass.
D. Because these colors are all shades of yellow in his eyes.
【4】 Which of the following is TRUE according to the last two parts “Nose” and “Tail”?
A. Adult dogs can’t use their nose to find their mothers.
B. When a dog feels too hot, he will lose his sense of smell.
C. Dogs often sniff with short breaths when they feel sad.
D. A dog’s tail can’t show his feelings unless he is frightened.
23、Whatever our dog Rock was doing down there, it made enough noise for me to go to him. By the time I made it to the bottom of the stairs, he had run up, and he never came up the stairs. I think that was his way of telling me, "We’ve got to go back up.”
When I got to the top of the stairs, I saw my house on fire. I immediately shouted to my wife to wake up and get our three kids. I caught a knife and cut out the plastic that covered the window to the porch roof (门廊屋顶). I then opened the window and kicked out the screen (遮阳棚).I got everybody out on the roof and threw a blanket out there so we wouldn’t fall off. It was cold, January cold. Then I started shouting for help. But help never came.
I’m scared of heights and have rheumatoid arthritis (类风湿性关节炎), but I could not let my family burn up. So I jumped off the roof.
I found a ladder (梯子), placed it against the house, and climbed back up to the roof. I held my daughter and carried my nine-month-old son with my teeth by his little sleeper. Then I climbed down the ladder. Once on the ground, I had my little girl hold her brother, and I went back up to the roof to get my other daughter. Then I went back up again and got my wife. I tried to get my dog, but he just disappeared in the black smoke. I never saw Rock alive again.
I’m not a hero. I’m just an ordinary person who’d help anybody. I live to protect my family. Just like Rock — he lived to protect us.

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。
The Feel-Better Book
My grandparents have lived in a whole different state for as long as I can remember, so I’ve had a lot of experience as far as missing them goes. I usually get to see them only a couple of times a year. But they ended up canceling their summer trip last month because Gran had to have knee surgery.
“It’s not fair!” whined (抱怨) my little brother, Tex. “Paul was going to take me fishing.”
“Sorry, kiddo. That’s just the way the ball bounces,” said my dad, using one of his old-fashioned sayings that all pretty much mean “Relax, because there’s nothing you can do to change this particular situation.”
“And what about the zoo?” grumbled (嘟囔) my little sister, Indi. “Gran and I were going to have a special zoo day, just the two of us!”
“There will be lots more summers for special zoo days,” said my mom. “How about, for now, we give Paul and Gran a call?”
While Tex and Indi talked on the phone, all kinds of memories started playing in my head like a movie: spotting seals from the ferryboat, riding bikes through Golden Gate Park, baking Gran’s world-famous cookies, and putting on silly magic shows with Paul. For some strange reason, those happy memories just made me unbelievably sad. I started missing my grandparents so much that I wanted to cry.
“Here you go,” my mom said, handing me the phone… “It’s your turn to talk to Paul and Gran.”
“Um, I can’t talk right now,” I told her and suddenly I was running down the hall.
“Why in the world did you run away like that?” asked my dad.
“I didn’t want to cry on the phone,” I sniffled (抽泣).
“I’m sure Gran and Paul would have understood,” he said.
“Yes, but they already have enough to worry about with Gran’s knee troubles,” I said. “I want to make Gran happy, not sad!”
“Hey, good idea!” I thought to myself and ran to my room. “I’ll make Gran a get- well-soon card. ”
