21、 During one of the earliest performances of “Peter Pan,” the much-loved fantasy play for children, a small boy was invited to watch the production from the balcony. Afterwards he was asked what he liked best about the play. The pirates? The crocodile? Peter Pan flying through the air? The child’s response was surprising: “What I think I liked best was tearing up the program and dropping the bits on people’s heads”.
The audience who left the theater with bits of paper in their hair probably wouldn’t agree with the boy on the best part of the play. Neither would the caretakers in charge of cleaning the theater afterward. But when J. M. Barrie, the creator of “Peter Pan,” heard the boy’s comment, he was delighted. He wasn’t offended that the boy hadn’t paid closer attention to the play. Instead, he considered it one of his favorite reactions to his work.
All of us have to deal with decisions made by others – their words, actions and attitudes – that could be considered offensive. This can be particularly difficult when we feel that the values and traditions we hold dear are being rejected or even laughed at.
But just as someone might choose whether or not to do something offensive, we can choose whether or not to be insulted(侮辱). We can choose to give others the benefit of the doubt and not assume mean intent behind their actions. We can love people even if we do not love their choices. After all, isn’t it more important – though perhaps more challenging – to love a person than to love words or actions?
Accepting people does not mean approving of or forgiving their decisions. It does not mean giving up our own rights to think and act differently. Nor does it mean we will never feel sad or hurt or disappointed. But at a deeper level, we can be at peace if we focus on love – for love has the power to overcome our disappointment, frustration and pain. And who knows? Our love may even soften a heart. But even if it doesn’t, the best approach is still to let love, peace, patience and kindness rule the day.
【1】Why does the author mention the play “Peter Pan”?
A.To support an argument.
B.To make a comparison.
C.To introduce the topic.
D.To provide an example.
【2】What was J. M. Barrie’s reaction to the child’s response?
A.He ignored it.
B.He loved it.
C.He felt offended.
D.He couldn’t agree more.
【3】What does the author tell us to do in Paragraph 4?
A.Nurse unkind thoughts.
B.Love people’s words and actions.
C.Love people with a tolerant attitude.
D.Do something to prevent being insulted.
【4】What can probably be the title of the text?
A.Let love rule the day
B.How to overcome pain
C.Love is sometimes challenging
D.“Peter Pan” – a play for children
22、The Best National Parks to Visit in Winter
While most parks tend to draw families in the summer and fall, there are also ideal spots for adventurous winter trips.
Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
The country’s oldest and best-known national park takes on an almost otherworldly atmosphere in winter: the air filled with rolling steam, the strong colors of hot springs, the surrounding white landscapes, let alone the impressive wildlife during this time, like bison, wolves, and playful red foxes. Just book a guided hiking tour to get a ranger’s perspective on the park and local people.
Joshua Tree National Park, California
With its giant red rocks and unique trees, you’ll feel like stepping onto a foreign planet as you spend hours hiking the Panorama Loop or Maze Loop. The park is recognized as an International Dark Sky Park, featuring virtually zero light pollution and the country’s best views of a starry sky.
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
A significantly lower number of visitors in winter means you can take in unblocked views of the South Rim, and get to see the rare beauty of the Grand Canyon dusted with snow. For those adventurous and daring, it is recommended to hike the Bright Angel Trail and take the chance to see the canyon’s wintertime wildlife, including mule deer, elk, and bald eagles.
Virgin Islands National Park, St. John
Surprise! Not all wintertime national park trips need to involve snow. Virgin Islands National Park is most famous for its white-sand beaches. You can also hike inland to visit old sugar plantations, or venture out to the water to swim along with sea turtles and manta rays. You will definitely enjoy a different winter here.
【1】Which park will one choose if he/she is interested in stars?
A.Yellowstone National Park.
B.Joshua Tree National Park.
C.Grand Canyon National Park.
D.Virgin Islands National Park.

24、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem— inability to read.
In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle. Without opening the book titled Amos, the Beagle with a Plan, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book.
My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.
I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.
【1】The author’s mother told him to borrow a book in order to_____.
A.encourage him to do more walking
B.help cure him of his reading problem
C.let him spend a meaningful summer
D.make him learn more about weapons
【2】The book caught the author’s eye because_____.
A.it contained pretty pictures of animals
B.he found its title easy to understand
C.he was reminded of his own dog
D.he liked children’s stories very much
【3】What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A.The author’s mother rewarded him with books.
B.The author’s mother read the same book.
C.The author has become a successful writer.
D.The author has had happy summers ever since.
【4】Which one could be the best title of the passage?
A.My Passion for Reading
B.Mum’s Strict Order
C.Reunion with My Beagle
D.The Charm of a Book
