24、   Everybody likes to feel that she or he is special. Sadly, many of us grow up believing that we’re not special at all. We wish that we could be more attractive or better at sports. We wish we had had more money or nicer clothes. Like the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, or the Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz, we think we’re not good enough just as we are. In the film. The Tin Man wishes he had a heart. The Scarecrow wishes that he had a brain, and the Lion want courage. Finally, each of them realizes that he already has what he wants.

Nearly all parents want us to be the best we can be. They sometimes try to encourage us to do better by comparing us to others. They mean well, but the message we usually get is that we’re not good enough. We start to believe that the only way we can be special is by being better than somebody else, but we are often disappointed (失望的). There will always be somebody out there that is better than we are at something. There are a lot of people around who may not be as smart as we are but who are better at sports. Or they may not be as handsome, but they are more successful. It is unthinkable for us to be better than everybody else all the time. Like the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion, we all need what we believe will make us better people.

What we don’t understand is that often we already have the very things inside us that we look for. Our parents often forget to tell us that we are special, that we are good enough just as we are. Perhaps no one told them when they were growing up, or maybe they just forgot. Either way, it’s up to us to remind them sometimes that each of us, in our own way, is special. What we are ... is enough!

27、   Drinking milk every day is good for your health. However, if one day someone gives you a cup of cow-free milk, will you still want to have a drink?

Recently, an American company named Perfect Day surprised the world with its synthetic (合成的) milk. The milk looks and tastes almost like cow milk and has all the same nutrients (营养素).

The creators of Perfect Day are two young scientists, Ryan Pandya and Perumal Gandhi. Working in different cities, they didn’t know each other at first. But they shared the same crazy idea about making milk without the help from cows. They thought it would make the world a kinder, greener place. After they met, they started working on a way of making their dream a reality.

The secret to making cow-free milk? Yeast (酵母), 3D printing technology and old fermentation processes (发酵方法). They have developed a process quite like making beer. The two scientists also say their milk has longer shelf life than the real milk. What’s more, it’s delicious, safe and Earth-friendly. “We want people to enjoy our milk, while leaving a kinder footprint on the planet,” say the two young men.

However, they also know it will be a long way before people accept their synthetic milk.

Before people accept the synthetic milk, maybe we should do something to reduce waste. A store in Scotland is doing such a thing. It sells milk in a vending machine (自动售货机). The vending machine allows people to refill their glass bottles with fresh milk. “The milk vending machine lets us work with a local farm to get really tasty milk for our customers without wasting plastic containers (集装箱),” one worker from the store said. It helps to save the store about one hundred plastic containers a day.

【1】What is synthetic milk?

A.It is a kind of cow milk. B.It is a kind of cow-free milk.

C.It is a kind of cow milk mixture. D.It is a kind of cheese.

【2】What does the underlined word “refill” mean?

A.Control again. B.Fill again. C.Empty quickly. D.Fill quickly.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A.The synthetic milk might make the world a kinder and greener place.

B.People enjoy drinking the synthetic milk.

C.The synthetic milk will be tastier than the cow milk.

D.The synthetic milk is cheaper and healthier.

【4】What’s the main idea of the passage’?

A.Drinking milk every day is good for our health.

B.The synthetic milk is easy to make.

C.People easily accept the synthetic milk.

D.Two scientists hope to use cow-free milk to make the world a greener place.

28、   Our grandparents seem to have magic powers sometimes. Give them a Chinese lunar calendar and they will know what the weather will be like days or even months 【1】(以后).

What’s the 【2】 (秘密)? They are following the 24 Solar Terms(节气),which are an important part of Chinese culture.

The 24 Solar Terms began during the ancient 【3】 (时期). At that time，most Chinese people made their living on farms. So weather changes were 【4】 (重要的)for them. No one 【5】(怀疑)that they had no weather report or Internet to help them.

But people found a way. They studied the sun’s movement and also paid 【6】 to other natural changes, such as air temperature, water and plant growth. In the end, they worked out the 24 Solar Terms to 【7】  (做记号)the changes.

The terms became their guide to farming work. For example, the solar term jingzhe is when insects wake up from a long sleep in the cold winter. Farmers take it as a sign of warm weather and get busy  【8】 (劳动）.

The 24 Solar Terms is【9】 (把视为)as China’s fifth great invention, after papermaking, printing, the compass and gunpowder. Now, it is still 【10】 (广泛地)used in daily life even in the age of technology-based modem farming.
