21、Many people would be unhappy to see young children sitting next to them on a flight, but a man called Todd took it as an opportunity to give a hand to a helpless mom. Jessica spoke about what Todd had done to make her travels with her children much easier.
She was in a panic when she boarded the plane. Her 4-month-old Alexander was screaming due to a series of unexpected events. Her 3-year-old Caroline, who had been excited before boarding the plane, lost her courage and began screaming too. As Jessica tried to calm them down and help them get settled in, the man sitting next to them stopped in to help.
He reached for the baby and held him while Jessica fastened Caroline’s seatbelt, got her iPad and started her movie. Once Caroline was settled and relatively calm, he also played games with her so that Jessica could feed Alexander. The kids were calm, but he didn't stop there. Throughout the flight, he engaged 3-year-old Caroline’s best friend.
Much to Jessica’s joy, the man was taking the same connecting flight, too. He helped them get off the plane and led them to the next gate, holding Caroline’s hand. As if that wasn't enough, he changed his seat on the next flight so he could sit in their row to help them. He told Jessica his wife had had a similar experience when their two boys were young and that a stranger had done the same thing, which moved him to spread the kindness.
The heartwarming story serves as a reminder to show kindness toward panic parents with young babies. Children don’t yet know how to handle their feelings, so they cry and scream when they are confused or uncomfortable in a new place. By offering a helping hand, we could not only help an overwhelmed parent but also make a child feel a little more comfortable.

22、If you ask most fathers, without hesitation, they will say that they would die for their children. Unfortunately, some men have been put in that situation, and with Father’s Day coming up next weekend, we want to share with you their stories.
Justin McCary
On October 8, 2015, Justin McCary, his 10-year-old daughter Haley, and his niece were doing some rock collecting near a railroad bridge in Chattanooga. When they heard the train coming, they started to move away from the tracks, but that is when Haley’s foot became stuck. He pushed her off the bridge and she fell 15-feet into the stream below. The girl survived, but the train killed the father instantly.
Jim Tramel
On Easter Sunday, 2016, Jim Tramel was on vacation with his family in Palm Springs. Suddenly Jim saw that something was wrong with his nine-year-old daughter. He immediately dived into the pool and managed to get his daughter to safety, but he was pronounced dead in the hospital. Other people were far away from the faulty wiring and not seriously injured.
Fredrick Martin
On April 3, 2012, Fredrick and his eight-year-old son Tre were cleaning out Tre’s grandmother’s garage when two men ran towards them and fired a few shots. Fredrick naturally bent over his son and protected him from the bullets (子弹). Police believe that this murder was random, and no one has ever been arrested in connection with the crime that left Tre Martin fatherless.

23、 High blood pressure, a common condition, rarely has noticeable symptoms, which make the condition difficult to identify, and that is why many people don't know they have it. The best way to find out whether you have the condition is to have your blood pressure（BP） checked with a monitor.
This is important because spotting any problems as early as possible reduces the risk of complications（并发症），which include cardiovascular disease such as stroke（中风），heart attack and heart failure, and kidney disease.
So how often should we check your blood pressure to find out whether you have the condition?
Dr Sarah Brewer, medical director of Healthspan, said if you haven91 had your blood pressure checked in the last year, make this a priority.
She explained, "If the reading is below 130/80 mmHg, then you go forward and have your blood pressure checked at least once every 5 years as it tends to increase slowly with age. If your BP is on the high side of normal （130/85mmHg to 139/89mmHg） or if you are aged 40 or over, it's best to have an annual check. If your blood pressure is 140/90mmHg or higher, see your doctor for advice on high blood pressure."
How often should you check your blood pressure if your BP is high?
If you have hypertension（高血压），check your blood pressure as often as your doctor tells you to, said Dr Brewer.
She added, "Guidelines suggest your doctor review you every 3 to 4 months until your blood pressure is well controlled. Once your blood pressure is stable on medication, you may be reviewed less often, every 6 months or annually. It's a good idea to check your blood pressure with a home monitor so you can ensure it isn't increasing or affected by changes in diet, lifestyle and stress?"
【1】Why are many people unaware they have high blood pressure based on the passage?
A.Because its symptoms are difficult to identify.
B.Because they don't consider high blood pressure risky.
C.Because the way to identify high blood pressure is not found yet.
D.Because it is difficult to get a monitor used to check blood pressure.
【2】Noticing high blood pressure in time is important because.
A.it is impossible to spot it as time goes by
B.patients won't have to see a doctor regularly after that
C.uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to serious health problems
D.it will take doctors less money to treat patients with high BP by doing that
【3】Which of the following will be supported by Dr Sarah Brewer?
A.A 41-year -old adult should have BP checked at least once a month.
B.BP will never change if you have it checked with a monitor.
C.It is good for you to consult a doctor if your BP is 140/90 mmHg or higher.
D.You don't have to worry about BP if your age is below 40.
【4】Which column in a magazine could this passage belong to?
A.Health. B.Style. C.Life. D.Sport.
24、 A DREAM, for me, is like a torch to light up my insipid （平淡的）life and a pair of wings to fly me into the sky. The uncertainty of my future and the heavy burden of schoolwork had driven me into a negative situation and not until I had a dream did I get out there. I decided to become a hostess.
It was last summer. I went to Jinan, which is famous for its natural springs, and started to learn broadcast hosting. However, I found that it was not easy.
The weather was bad. It was too hot to stay calm, which made me homesick. I called-my parents at least five times a day. But as I tried my best to adapt to the weather and living conditions there, I became more independent.
Another thing bothered me, too. My teacher criticized all my mistakes. Grievance （委 屈）and exhaustion often reduced me to tears and sweat flowed down my checks. To get her recognition, I practiced my voice skills in a park every day, even on rainy days. You can't imagine how happy I was when she praised me for the first time.
My dream enabled me to change a lot. Without my dream, I wouldn't have had the courage and the confidence to host the New Year party at our school. On stage, I knew that it was a good beginning to my hosting dream.
I took the arts examination in the winter. To my delight, I did well. And I was more than excited when I received the offers from Shandong Normal University, Yunnan Normal University and Yunnan Art Institute.
My dream has powered so much energy in me that my life has become colorful every day. So, however hard it will be to stick to my dream, no way will I give it up!
【1】Why did the author feel her life was insipid in the beginning?
A. Because she desired a better future. B. Because she was scared of pressure.
C. Because she felt that life was dull. D. Because she had no goal.
【2】How did the writer overcome the difficulties she met in Jinan?
A. By calling her parents often. B. By practicing her voice in a park every day.
C. With her persistence and adaptability. D. With her courage and confidence.
【3】What does the underlined "it" in the 5th paragraph refer to?
A. Her courage and the confidence to host the party.
B. Her getting the teacher's praise for the first time.
C. Her becoming more independent.
D. Her doing well in the arts examination.
【4】Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Dreams are difficult to develop. B. How to achieve your dream.
C. Realizing Your Dream Is Not Easy. D. A Dream will light your approach to success.
