24、This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famous people having the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts（花生）, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: let the coin decide. I flipped(掷) a coin and Ah! Tails (背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.

Weeks later, I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange. I looked around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. I was completely lost. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”

Oh well, I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of Independence.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington?

Of course, my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to the headmaster Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly(坚决地): No re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair, and I believed I should have a second chance. So I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmaster’s office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year when the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip(跳过) the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term.

【1】________ helped me decide what my report would be about.

A. My classmates B. A coin

C. My grandpa  D. The Internet

25、Dorothy lived in the Kansas Prairies (堪萨斯大草原) with Uncle Henry, a farmer, and Aunt Em, Henry’s wife. They worked hard all day and never smiled. Their house was small with a small hole dug in the ground, where the family could go in case cyclones (龙卷风) happened.

They had a dog called Toto whom Dorothy always played with. Today, however, they were not playing. Uncle Henry sat upon the doorstep and looked worriedly. Dorothy stood in the door with Toto in her arms. Aunt Em was washing the dishes.

They heard a low wail (呼啸) of the wind, and Uncle Henry and Dorothy could see where the long grass bowed in waves before the coming storm.

Suddenly Uncle Henry stood up.

“There’s a cyclone coming, Em” he said. “I’ll go look after my cows and horses.” Then he ran toward the place where they were kept.

Aunt Em dropped her work and came to the door. “Quick, Dorothy!” she shouted. “Run for the hole!”

Toto jumped out of Dorothy’s arms and hid under the bed, and the girl started to get it. Aunt Em opened the door in the floor and climbed down into the small, dark hole. Dorothy caught Toto at last and started to follow her aunt. When she was halfway across the room, there came a strong wind. The house shook so hard that she lost her footing and fell down on the floor.

Then a strange thing happened.

The house whirled (旋转) around and rose slowly through the air. Dorothy felt as if she were going up in a balloon.

26、 We are often asked to make a speech in life. Most of us are afraid of it and don't do a good job. Here are some simple steps to make your speech a successful one.

When you are giving your speech, speak slowly and clearly, look at your audience and pause for a few seconds from time to time to give your audience chances to think over what you've said.
