21、Many years ago in a small village, an old man was hired to clear the spring (泉水) up on the mountain. He patrolled (巡逻) the spring every day, and swept away all the leaves and other things that would dirty the fresh flow of water. Soon, beautiful swans (天鹅) came to the clear spring, and the village became a popular attraction for visitors.
Years passed. One evening the town leaders held a meeting. As they looked at the salary list, one of them said, “Why do we keep this old man on year after year? I don’t think we need him or his work.” Later, the old man was asked to leave.
For several weeks, nothing changed. By early autumn, the leaves began to fall off the trees, and the spring was covered with leaves. A few days later, the water was much darker. Only a few months after the old man left, all the swans left, as did the tourists. Disease reached deeply into the village.
Quickly, the leaders held a special meeting. Realizing their mistake, they rehired the old man. Then within a few weeks, the spring began to clear up. Soon new life returned to the village.
So, my friends, do you see? No matter how small your work or your life seems to be, never overlook it. Anything we can do will make a difference.

23、Towns across Italy have been racing to launch clever plans aimed at attracting new residents to revive (复兴)their fortunes in recent years. From abandoned homes selling for little more than a euro, to ready- to-occupy houses at knockdown prices, there has been a rush of competition.
The picturesque town of Presicce in the sunny region of Puglia is the latest to enter the game with a very tempting offer. Officials say they will pay people up to 30,000 euros to buy an empty house and take up residency. Even better, the houses up fbr sale as part of the deal are priced from around 25,000 euros.
Authorities in Presicce hope the cash motivation will breathe new life into their depopulating town, where newborns are fewer each year.
Presicce dates back to the middle Ages, flourishing during the Renaissance as a prosperous place known for its fine wine, cheeses and cattle trade. It gains a reputation as Puglia’s “town of green gold” for green olive trees and olive oil. Its location is incredible, surrounded by the nature of the Salento area and close to beautiful beaches and clear waters of Santa Maria di Leuca.
“There are many empty homes in the historical center built before 1991 which we would like to see alive again with new residents,” says local councilor Alfredo Palese. It is a pity witnessing how our old districts full of history, wonderful architecture and art are slowly emptying. The details of the deal are currently being finalized, Palese adds, and authorities are ready to launch applications in upcoming weeks when information will be available on the town hall website.
According to Palese, a 2019 merger (合并)with the nearby town Acquarica to create the larger town Presicce-Acquarica has provided them with extra money to ensure the project can continue for years to come. “After the merger, as per Italian law, our wider territory will be blessed with more public funds, roughly 1,000,000 euros per year for several years forward, which we intend to invest to revitalize (振兴) the old district, ” says Palese.
Together, Presicce and Acquarica now have some 9,000 inhabitants, but only half of the population live in the older part of the community.
The town hall has already launched other plans to attract more residents, including tax benefits to set up new business activities and baby bonuses for families with kids.
【1】What problem do many Italian towns face according to the text?
A．Population decline.
B．Financial crisis.
C．Falling tourism.
D．High living cost.
【2】What does the underlined word “tempting” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Risky.
B．Informal.
C．Attractive.
D．Conditional.
【3】What is the purpose of paragraph 4?
A．To show Presicce’s past glory.
B．To recommend a travel destination.
C．To point out the economy of Presicce.
D．To stress the importance of reviving Presicce.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．An Italian town’s welfare system.
B．An Italian town’s recovery strategy.
C．An Italian town’s long-term plan.
D．An Italian town’s current situation.
24、Evaluating Sources of health Information
Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to fins relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. 【1】
Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. 【2】
Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behaviour ＂contributes to＂ or is ＂associated with＂ an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. 【3】 Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.
Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. 【4】 Evaluate ＂scientific＂ statements carefully, and be aware of quackery (江湖骗术).
【5】 Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.
Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life.
A．Make choices that are right for you.
B．The goal of an ad is to sell you something.
C．Be sure to work through the critical questions.
D．And examine the findings of the original research.
E．Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.
F．Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s point of view.
G．The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Janet couldn’t lift spirit all day, far she missed everything in New Jersey. Her family had just moved here from New Jersey, having rented a small restaurant, which was planned to open next Sunday, She helped her mother and father wash the kitchen supplies in the shiny Dew kitchen.
“I hate this stupid decision. I have lost all my friends in New Jersey. What should I do now?” Janet muttered to herself（喃喃自语）.
“What’s up?” her mother asked, and never stopped wiping the table and mopping the floor.
“Nothing.” Janet answered in a low voice. The girl had been complaining about the move but her parents had made the decision ignoring her feelings. And now they were too busy to comfort her. What’s worse, the first few days at her new school hadn’t been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to the new classmates surrounding her, and even harder to follow the teachers’ pace. Faced with so many challenges, she felt depressed and gave a deep sigh. But the moment she saw her hardworking parents, she could do nothing but look forward and stopped her complaints.
On the day of the grand opening, the three were wearing broad smiles, welcoming customers into the restaurant. Even Janet was in high spirits as she rushed around, seating guests, ordering dishes, and serving glasses of water. What a big day for her family!
At one of the tables sat a family with a girl who was about Janet’s age. As she filled their glasses, Janet realized the girl was in her class. Janet lowered her head to avoid looking directly into her eyes, and she turned away from the table.
Janet’s mother noticed what had happened, and followed Janet to the kitchen. “Honey, what are you doing back here? We need you out and you are really a helper.”
