21、 Last Sunday I made a visit to some new neighbors down the block. No specific in mind, just an opportunity to sit at the kitchen table, have some tea and chat. As I did so, it occurred to me how rare the Sunday visit has become.
When I was a kid in New Jersey of the 1960s, Sunday visits were routine (惯例). Most stores were closed, almost nobody worked, and the highways, as a result, were not so crowded as they have become today. My family normally traveled eight city blocks to the home of my grandmother, where adults would sit on the front porch and chat while we children played hide-and-seek.
The Sunday visit was something to desire strongly, because everyone seemed to be on the same schedule, which means that there was one day when everyone seemed to have time for everybody else.
Sunday as a day of rest is, or was, so deeply rooted in the culture that it’s surprising to find that, in a short span of time, it has almost entirely lost this association. In my childhood, it was assumed that everyone would either be home or visiting someone else’s home on Sunday. But now the question is, “What do you plan to do this Sunday?” The answer can range from going to the mall, to participating in a road race, to Montreal for lunch. If one were to respond, “I’m making a Sunday visit to family,” such an answer would feel strange, which seems like something from ages ago.
【1】The writer’s general impression of the Sunday in the past was a day when________.
A．everyone seemed to be free for others
B．everyone was paying a visit to some relatives far away
C．adults would go to church and children weren’t at school
D．Dad was not at work while Mom was busy cleaning the house
【2】In the fourth paragraph, the answer “I’m making a Sunday visit to family” seems strange because________.
A．visiting someone on Sunday was only a routine
B．people nowadays prefer staying at home on Sunday
C．such answers are hardly heard in our modern society
D．people in the city dislike being disturbed on Sunday
【3】What is the writer’s attitude towards Sunday activities today?
A．Thankful.
B．Confused.
C．Respectful.
D．Unsatisfied.
22、A small boy sat on the street with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “ I am blind, please help”. There were only a few coins in the hat.
A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were.
The boy recognized his footsteps and asked :“Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?” The man said: “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.”
What he had written was: “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.
The first is: Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help where you can.
The second is：Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way!
【1】 What was the boy doing on the street?
A. He was selling his old hat.
B. He was busy counting coins.
C. He was begging for money.
D. He was showing his handwriting.
【2】 How did the man help the blind boy?
A. He took the boy's sign away.
B. He only gave the boy some money.
C. He changed the words on the sign.
D. He asked others to help the blind boy.
【3】 The blind boy recognized the kind man by his ______ .
A. words B. smell C. voice D. Footsteps
23、I am not a girl who will scream “Hello” across the street if I see someone familiar, nor will I meet with a complete stranger and begin a conversation. Instead, I will just laugh lightly. I would rather the other person spoke while I listen attentively. I can’t face the fact that I’m such a girl.
After a week---long vacation, we the tenth grade students returned to school. I reached the center of the hallway where my friend was waiting for me. Coming across a bulletin(公告), I saw some letters—Poetry Slam(诗歌朗诵赛). I told my friend how interesting the event sounded. I had heard of the event before, but I knew I couldn’t do it alone. Soon my friend and I , along with twenty other brave ones, planned to take part in the poetry slam.
When the day finally arrived, I still thought I couldn’t do this. As the lights dimmed(变暗), students all sat down. I crossed my arms over my chest as my feet shook. Poets, seated in the first two rows, all held their heads high and were practicing words for he poetry slam.
“Next is Katrina with Unspoken.” Shocked back into reality, I couldn’t move. I had to gather courage and remember I had chosen what to say, how to say it, and most importantly why I was saying it.
Taking a deep breath and looking at an unfamiliar crowd, I began. “Words can’t replace fear. One can’t live with sentences alone.” Words began jumping into the minds of others.
That was my voice jumping into the ears of those who cared. Yes, I spoke and they finally listened-there is no greater reward than pouring your heart out to those who will gently hold it. Slowly but surely, my nerves turned into courage. From now on I can refer to myself as a shy, but not so quiet, girl.

24、Aristotle said that “happiness depends upon ourselves” and a new study suggests it is possible to physically grow a happier brain through practices like meditation (冥想). Although scientists have known which hormones (荷尔蒙) produce emotions like pleasure or desire, it has been unclear where the feeling of overall contentment and well-being originates from.
To find out, scientists asked 51 volunteers to rate their own happiness levels and then scanned their brains. Interestingly they discovered that an area of the brain called the precuneus(楔前叶) was larger in people who were happier. It suggests that happiness can be worked like a muscle.
Previous studies have shown that regular meditation can boost grey matter in the precuneus, which could explain why those who meditate report experiencing feelings of general content. The scientists behind the finding said it will now be possible to clinically measure what things make people happier. Researchers believe that the precuneus is particularly important for subjective happiness, such as where someone chooses to make the best of a situation and see it in a more positive light.
Volunteers who scored higher on the happiness surveys had more grey matter mass in the precuneus. In other words, people who feel happiness more intensely, feel sadness less intensely and are more able to find meaning in life have a larger precuneus. “Our results suggest that psychological training that effectively increases grey matter and volume in the precuneus may enhance subjective happiness.” said Dr. Sato.
Speaking about this new research, he also said: “This does not surprise me at all. The brain is easily influenced, just like other organs. Paying attention can literally change your brain.” Prof Dolan, author of the book Happiness By Design, claims that many of the things people believe will make them happy can actually alter their lives in a negative way, “Most things we think will make us happy won’t,” he said. “We’re really always happier if we are focusing on the person we are with and the thing we are doing right now. So make that something you enjoy.”
【1】What can we learn from the new study in paragraph 1 ?
A．Aristotle’s idea is not quite right.
B．Happiness can be gained physically.
C．Well-being is from certain hormone.
D．Brains are larger in those who are happier.
【2】What can we know about the precuneus?
A．It is linked to one’s happiness.
B．It is very important for thinking.
C．It can be gained from training quickly.
D．It can be found through physical exercise.
【3】What is the researchers’ attitude towards the finding?
A．Worried.
B．Doubtful.
C．Interested.
D．Optimistic.
【4】According to Dr. Sato, who is likely to find more meaning in life?
A．Those who meditate less.
B．Those with more physical training.
C．Those with more grey matter mass.
D．Those who seek more material wealth.

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。
During summer vacation when I was twelve, a sawmill (锯木厂) was operating in the woods near our farm. Early each morning, I’d watch the men cut down big trees, saw them into logs, and deliver the logs to the mill.
The logs were dragged by a team of horses named Jack and Billy. They were gentle, and I petted them every chance I got.
One day, Mr. David, the mill owner, said he’d pay me 15 cents a day to bring fresh water to his men. In 1942, that was a lot of money! I said yes.
One afternoon when Jack and Billy were pulling a log up to the mill, a stick injured Jack’s right front hoof (蹄). After Mr. David removed the stick, the horse driver said that the foot should be doctored. But Mr. David said he didn’t have time for that. He said if the horse couldn’t earn his keep, he’d get one that could.
I felt sick inside. Jack and Billy were my best friends! I couldn’t stop thinking about Jack’s foot and what Mr. David had said.
For the rest of the day the team pulled logs from the woods. By nightfall, Jack was limping badly. Mr. David told his crew that the mill would be closed for three days because he’d be away for the Fourth of July. He offered to pay me a dollar to feed and water the horses while he was gone. I quickly agreed.
The next morning, I rode my bike to Mr. David’s barn. I wanted to look at Jack’s hoof. I reached down and grabbed the hair on the back of his leg, as I’d seen Mr. David do, and Jack lifted up his foot so I could see.
The part inside of the big iron shoe looked red and mushy (烂糊的).
I didn’t know anything about medicine, and Mr. David said he wouldn’t pay for a doctor. But if he didn’t earn his keep, Mr. David would get rid of him. But what could I do?
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右;

At my house, I saw our neighbor, Mr. Sherman who raised horses and knew how to care for them.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The morning when Mr. David returned, I jumped on my bike to the mill.
