21、Over the last decade, Grandpa Ron, as the students call him, has volunteered thousands of hours every year to be with local school children—but it wasn’t until classes moved online due to COVID-19 that Ron Jacobson realized his impact. That impact reached far deeper than being a school volunteer. And those students were now missing the hugs he gave them every mornings.
Back in March 2020, Jacobson had already volunteered for 900 hours during the 2019-2020 school year by the time Cle Elum-Roslyn Elementary in Ronald, Washington, closed its doors and turned to online teaching.
“These kids who relied on me being there for them had suddenly lost me,” Jacobson said. “When they started doing their schoolwork online, several said that they missed Grandpa Ron. ”
The school received so many requests for Grandpa Ron that it added Jacobson’s email address and home address to the school’s online directory (通讯录), allowing students to keep in touch with Jacobson. Students immediately began sending Jacobson emails and letters and even coming to his home to check up on him and offer to walk his dog.
Jacobson now responds to each of the students, adding a bright spot to the students’ days and his own.
“I am happy to listen to the kids’ problems as well,” Jacobson said. “I have heard from school teachers and parents how much this regular communication has changed the kids’ attitudes.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars has honored Jacobson—a Vietnam veteran (老兵) —by naming him a spokesman for their campaign, StillServing, which shows many ways America’s veterans continue serving even after leaving the army.
“The Marine Corps taught me the two important things: finish the task and take care of your troops (军队). I’m still taking care of the troops,” Jacobson said.
It’s just that they are 75 years younger than he is.
【1】How did the school react to the school kids’ requests?
A.It sent Jacobson to visit them in person.
B.It asked Jacobson to write to all of them.
C.It showed every student’s email address.
D.It offered Jacobson’s contact information.
【2】How did Jacobson feel about the online communication with the students?
A.Pleased.
B.Worried.
C.Tired.
D.Confused.
【3】Why was veteran Jacobson regarded a spokesman for StillServing?
A.He still served in the army.
B.He trained many volunteers.
C.He continued to serve others.
D.He encouraged kids to serve.
【4】What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.School teachers.
B.Vietnam veterans.
C.Local school kids.
D.Young volunteers.
22、It was late one evening. I can’t remember what it was about, but my dad and I had a very big argument when my mom was away. We both said things we didn’t mean, and in the end I said, “I’m leaving.” And he said, “Good. The sooner, the better.”
I threw a few things in a suitcase and closed the door angrily behind me, not knowing where I was going. After walking aimlessly for about 20 minutes, I stopped at a local supermarket. Then my phone rang. It was my mom calling. She said, “Hey, Mary. Where are you?Dad is worried about you.”
“How can he worry about me?I’ve been away for nearly half an hour, but he didn’t call,” I said with annoyance(气恼). My anger returned and I remembered all the hateful things he’d shouted to me. “Listen, Mom. You can tell Dad that I’m fine. I’ll call you tomorrow,” I said and hung up.
I walked around the store, trying to get my thoughts together. By the time I paid for my purchases, it had been much later than I used to be out alone. When I left the supermarket, a large piece of white paper was in front of me. On the piece of white paper were these words: “Please come home! I miss you and I’m worried about you!”
Then a car pulled up beside me. Hanging out of the window was my dad. Beside him, smiling gently, sat my mom. And that’s when I started laughing. I laughed so hard that I cried. Despite my best efforts to run away from home, my father finally managed to track me down. I couldn’t leave now, not with him sitting there with caring eyes.

23、A last-minute vacation can be a wonderful surprise and an escape from the ordinary. It normally takes a weekend or a few days. You might think that a last-minute vacation will cost a ton of money.【1】
If you decide to take a last-minute vacation to an area you visit frequently, call your usual accommodations and see if they offer a favorable price to repeat customers. If you have met the manager on your earlier trips, ask to speak to him and explain your situation.【2】So it’s possible for you to get a great deal.
Some hotels will often have rooms that they cannot fill.【3】Talk carefully, and you may be able to persuade them into giving you a discount.
【4】Save on transportation costs to a destination nearby. Visit a town you’ve never been to before, or stay a few nights in a city that you only go to for day trips. Local escapes can be just as relaxing as flying to Hawaii for the weekend, and will probably give you more time at your destination.
Teenagers are often excited about the chance to get out of their parents’ house for a weekend. So contact any young cousin you can trust in the house while you are on vacation.【5】You just need to leave him or her easy instructions and some food in the fridge.
A.He or she can be asked to feed the pets.

E.Actually, you may be able to save a few dollars if you plan smart.
F.A last-minute vacation doesn’t have to be thousands of miles away.
G.The key to a great last-minute vacation is a refusal to stress details.
24、Deng Qingming, a Chinese astronaut and native of Jiangxi province in East China, aged 55, has never been to space. He was a member of the backup crew (后备人员) for the Shenzhou-9, Shenzhou-10 and Shenzhou-11 missions.
Of China's first group of 14 trainees for the space program, he was among the six who never made it onto the crew. Five of his colleagues retired in 2014 without a space flight, making Deng the last man standing, with feet firmly on ground. "Being backup doesn't mean you don't need to work. I must watch closely in the control center and offer all I know about the mission and the spacecraft in case of emergency. Only when the crew returns to Earth will my mission be complete." Deng said during an interview. No matter how difficult the road to space flight is, he never once thought of giving up. At the end of every mission, he would quickly clear his mind of distractions and welcome new challenges with a positive attitude.
In 20l3, Deng discovered a tiny kidney(肾)stone. While this is not a condition of immediate concern under normal circumstances, it is different for astronauts, who must maintain a rigorous standard of personal health. Deng underwent two surgeries, the first unsuccessful. After suffering from the disease for almost 2 months with a tube placed inside his kidney, the stone was finally removed.
When training for Shenzhou XI, scheduled to be launched in 2016, Deng along with crew member Chen Dong was limited in a spacecraft simulator no bigger than 10 square meters for 33 days. They had no showers, ate space food exclusively and bore loud noise and strong light as they tried to sleep. On the day of the announcement, however, he was not selected.
"The success of the mission comes before my personal wishes," said Deng. His passion has inspired his daughter Deng Manqi, who now works for ground control in Beijing.
【1】Which of the following best describe Deng?
A.Talented and modest.
B.Generous and friendly.
C.Creative and ambitious.
D.Determined and devoted.
【2】What does the underlined word "rigorous" mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Low.
B.Strict.
C.Different.
D.Particular.
【3】What can be inferred from the text?
A.Deng is the last backup in China.
B.Deng's personal wishes come first.
C.Deng will retire due to health problem.
D.Deng plays an important role in space flight.
【4】What's the best title for the text?
A.The Mission For The Crew
B.Life Of A Chinese Backup
C.A Chinese Astronaut Always Ready
D.The Responsibility Of Astronauts
