24、Is it worth taking after-school activities for kids in their daily life? Kids in Australia usually do after-school activities in their free time. The activities usually include part-time jobs, community service, sports training and club activities.
Amy, Rose and May, three teenagers from Marryatville High School, gave us their views.
Yes, but only up to a point. You may join many clubs and take part in different kinds of activities to make sure that your college application will stand out. But don’t stress yourself out. You shouldn’t have over 5 after-school activities in your spare time. What’s more, the activities you choose should show what you really love or you have interest in. ---Amy |
Yes, take as many as you like. After-school activities make our life more colorful and make us happier in our daily life. They also help us make many more good friends. In addition, we can learn much from these activities. ---Rose |
Yes, but quality(质量) wins over quantity. Nowadays, more and more teenagers are under great pressure. The stress comes from studies, their family and the social life. Taking after-school activities helps them relax themselves. But I think it’s better to have two to three after-school activities that you often join in. Don’t do those activities which you don’t like. ---May |

25、Tea bag drinking is most Westerners’ favourite way of drinking tea. Do you know how it came about?
The tea bag was invented in 1980 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller. He was sending out free tea in silk bags for people to try. People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water. The tea tasted good, and people thought it was easy to clean the cup. They were not happy when Sullivan started sending them loose (散的) tea again.
Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine to pack the bags. As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze (薄纱) and later paper. In 1952, Lipton Tea made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four-sided tea bag. Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK. And today 85% of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags.
However, many people still prefer loose-leaf tea. This is because some tea companies put not very good tea in their tea bags. But for most drinkers, tea bags are still the easy, tasty way to go.
【1】When was the tea bag invented?
A．In 1980.
B．In 1990.
C．In 1890.
D．In 1880.
【2】The underlined part “Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK” means “________ in the UK”.
A．Tea bags weren’t allowed to be sold
B．Tea bags surprised everyone very much
C．Tea bags kicked (踢) the loose-leaf out of the market
D．Tea bags soon became popular
【3】The material of the tea bag is usually ________ now.
A．silk
B．gauze
C．paper
D．plastic
26、What should you take in with you when you take an exam? Pen, pencil, eraser, ruler..., and don’t forget a bottle of water!
According to a study at the British Psychological (心理学的) Society Annual Conference held in London, if students bring water into exams, they may improve their grades by up to 10 percent.
Scientists at the University of East London and the University of Westminster, UK, did a study on 447 students. Only 25 percent of them brought something to drink to the exam hall.
Scientists then compared their exam results with their normal schoolwork grades. They found that all those who had brought drinks with them got better grades by 2 to 10 percent.
It is unclear why drinking water improves exam results. But scientists say having enough water in our bodies could have a helpful influence on our brains. Drinking water may also cut down on anxiety(焦虑) , according to Chris Pawson, PhD, of the University of East London.
"Whatever the explanation, it is clear that students should try hard to stay hydrated(含水的)with water during exams," he said.
So next time, when you are going to have a big exam, try bringing a bottle of water with you. Who knows - it may help you pass the exam!
【1】If the students bring water into exams, their grades may be improved at most.
A. by 2% B. by 8%
C. by 10% D. by 25%
【2】The underlined phrase "cut down on" probably means .
A.增加 B.带走 C减少 D.改变
【3】According to the passage, how does water help students in exams?
A. It is good for their brains.
B. It makes students smarter.
C. It helps students feel full.
D. It makes students feel nervous.
【4】You probably read the article from a .

27、 Besides the spelling of the word, there are clearly many differences between American and British humor.
There is a common belief (信念) in the UK that Americans don’t understand irony (讽刺). This is of course not true. But what is true is that Americans don’t use it all the time. Irony may show up in American comedies, but people there don’t use it as much as the British do in daily life. However, irony is common in British culture. It actually runs in the blood of the British people. They use it as a way of playing with their friends and laughing at their enemies as well as themselves in everyday conversations. This may sometimes make people unhappy if the listeners are not used to it. They may also feel embarrassed.
Things are different in America. After American people use irony, they feel the need to make a joke clearer so that it will not make other people uncomfortable. Humor is tied so much to culture. American jokes are clearer and more forward. British jokes, on the other hand, are more subtle and usually with a hidden meaning. This may result from the fact that British culture is more reserved (矜持的）than American culture. However, we still find that certain American comedies have made huge success in Britain.
Therefore, although there are differences between both comic styles, there is still an appreciation (欣赏)and understanding of the other’s sense of humor.
【1】What do British people think of American humor?
A.They think irony isn’t popular in America.
B.They think American jokes are clearer.
C.They think it is tied to American culture.
D.They think Americans don’t understand irony.
【2】American people use ______ British people in daily life.
A.as much irony as B.less irony than
C.as little irony as D.more irony than
【3】When talking in everyday life，British people use irony to ______.
A.laugh at themselves B.fight with their enemies
C.make friends with others D.make other people unhappy
【4】According to the passage，which of the following statements is true？
A.There is usually a dark hidden meaning in American jokes.
B.British comedies have not made any success in America yet.
C.American and British people understand each other's sense of humor.
D.Americans don't use irony in their daily life because they don't understand it.
【5】The best title for the passage is_____ .
A.American people VS. （与…比较）British people
B.American humor VS. British humor
C.American culture VS. British culture
D.American word spelling VS. British word spelling.
