22、 As we approach Father’s Day, Let’s be real about it.
Everyone needs a father to be born, but not everyone can have a father while growing up.
Some fathers are too busy; others get divorced, disappear or die.
But almost everyone should have a father image—someone who lives up to what a father should be.
A father image is a role model—someone you want to be like. He fills you with the memories that never leaves you when you grow up.
My father image was Harold, who was in his twenties when I was10 years old. I was a foster child (收养的孩子) and lived in his home with his mother.
He had dark, curly hair and always wore a beautiful suit, a shirt and a tie. What made him my role model was that he knew my darkest secrets—even stuff my real father didn't know—and he told me things no other person would tell a little boy.
Harold dressed the store windows at Gertz Department Store in Jamaiva, N. Y., and every time I went to visit him he gave me a quarter.
I wanted to be exactly like him. I even walked like him. He always called me “Kiddo”, a name I call people I like to this day.
My friends had role models like Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehring, Joe Lewis and other sports figures. I chose Harold, because he was a real person and he chose to be my mentor (指导者).
Harold, as you may have guessed, is now in Heaven ( Where else would he be?), but I think about him a lot. And whenever I have a problem, I ask myself, “What would Harold do?”
That is the reason a father role model is so important to a boy or a girl, It's a learning experience for everyone.
I guess the reason why I am writing all this is that I think there should be a Father's Day when everyone honors the person who has a lifelong impact(影响) on him. I believe every child needs just one to change his life－Happy Father's Day
【1】In the author's opinion, what should the image of a father be except______?
A.a father should be patient B.a father should tell me what is right and what is wrong
C.a father should be like sports figures D.a father should have a lifelong influence on his kid
【2】Joe DiMaggio is________?
A.his friend’s father B.a sports star C.the author’s father D.a mentor
【3】How is Harold now?
A.He is working in a department store. B.He is in Heaven now.
C.He is dead now. D.The author doesn't know where is he now.
【4】Which is not the author’s attitude towards Harold?
A.Love. B.Respect. C.Miss. D.Hate.
23、The Colorado River is the lifeblood of the American Southwest. It supplies water to more than 36 million people, has changed the desert into farmland, and allows cities like Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Las Vegas to develop. But satisfying the region’s need for water has come at a price.
The river once traveled all the way from Colorado’s Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of California. Now, dams (水坝) control the river’s water for human use. As a result, the river no longer reaches the ocean. Without water, the delta (三角洲) at the river’s mouth has become dry and poor.
To bring the delta back to life, engineers recently opened the Morelos Dam near the US-Mexico border to free a temporary burst of water. This pulse flow allowed the Colorad River to reach the sea for the first time in 16 years, helping the river’s delta come alive.
The dams built by the US government form a system of man-made lakes. These lakes can store four times the river’s yearly flow. “The lakes are like the river basin’s bank accounts,” says Taylor Hawes. “They provide a place to save up water for not-so-rainy days — like right now”.
In wetter times, on and off since the 1960s, the Colorado managed to complete its journey to the sea. During those rare times, spring floods temporarily brought life back to the delta. Seeing the difference a little water could make gave scientists the idea for this year’s pulse flow.
“Just add water and you get an amazing recovery,” says Eloise Kendy. “The project serves as a model of how to manage rivers sustainably (可持续) for both people and nature. A lot of rivers in the West have problems. We used them to make the deserts bloom and build cities. We didn’t think about the environment. But it’s possible to restore them. If we can do it in the Colorado River Delta, we can do it anywhere.”
【1】What can we lean from the first two paragraphs?
A．The Gulf of California is flooding.
B．The Colorado River’s delta is dying
C．The American southwest is becoming poor.
D．The water in the Colorado River is running out.
【2】Taylor mentioned the bank accounts to show that ________.
A．lakes have stored much of the river water
B．many banks provided money to build dams
C．the money made from the lakes are kept in banks
D．people can borrow money from banks to buy lake water
【3】What does Kendy want to express in the last paragraph?
A．Restoring deserts is sustainable for nature.
B．Many cities are built on deserts in the West.
C．Rivers in the West have been polluted seriously.
D．Environmental protection must go with development.
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A．An effort to protect the Colorado River from drying.
B．An experiment to make the Colorado River flow freely.
C．A plan to bring the Colorado River’s delta back to life.
D．A way to make full use of the water from the Colorado River.
24、 Laughter is a kind of universal body language that’s shared by people of all nationalities, skin colors, cultures and traditions. But did you know that the ability to tell genuine laughter apart from fake laughter also transcends (超越) cultures?
Greg Bryant, a professor of communication at the University of California, Los Angeles, US, published a study in Psychological Science in late July in which be found that people are able to identify real laughter through slight variations in sound.
In the study, 884 people from 21 countries were asked to listen to random recordings of laughter. Some of the recordings were made up of spontaneous (自然的) laughs, while others were made by people who were asked to laugh on command.
The study showed that people around the world have the ability to pick out real laughter, although their abilities vary from country to country. Residents of the Samoan Islands, an island chain in the central South Pacific, were particularly good at it, correctly identifying real laughter 56 percent of the time. According to Bryant, people from smaller, less industrialized nations “are more accurate in identifying a natural smile” because they rely heavily on emotional engagement (联系) in order to predict others’ behavior and create stronger social relationships.
But how do people from different cultures detect natural laughter so easily? And what traits does real laughter have? As Professor Jessica Wolf of the University of California, Los Angeles, told the Association for Psychological Science, in real laughter, our vocal chords (声带) “produce qualities such as higher pitch (音调) and volume (音量), as well as faster bursts of non-articulate (不清晰的) sounds and more non-tonal (无语调的) noise”
By contrast, fake laughter will “sound like speech”. According to Science Daily, fake laughter is controlled by the same brain system that controls the lips and tongue.
Bryant further explained that this system has an imitative (模仿的) capacity (能力), saying “with this speech system, you can make a lot of different noises, including crying, laughter or a shriek (尖叫) of pain. That’s where fake laughter comes from.”
So that’s something to think about the next time one of your friends laughs at something you said. Will you be able to tell if it’s real or fake?
【1】What did Bryant discover about people’s ability to distinguish between real and fake laughter?
A．People from different backgrounds laugh in different ways.
B．It has greatly improved in recent years.
C．People can identify natural laughter by small differences in the voice.
D．Not all people are born with this ability.
【2】What can we conclude from the fourth and fifth paragraphs?
A．Samoans did best in picking out real laughter in the steady.
B．People from developing countries are usually not good at detecting natural laughter.
C．People across cultures have different abilities to identify real laughter.
D．The better one’s social relationships, the more accurate one can identify real laughter.
【3】Natural laughter is usually characterized by ________.
A．a lower pitch
B．a higher volume
C．clear, loud sounds
D．slow bursts of toneless noise
【4】What do we know about fake laughter?
A．It is difficult to imitate.
B．It sounds like high-pitched speech.
C．It is produced by a speech system in the brain.
D．It is often accompanied with different noises.
