21、I never knew anyone who'd grown up in Jackson without being afraid of Mrs. Calloway, our librarian. She ran Jackson's Carnegie Library absolutely by herself. SILENCE in big black letters was on signs hung everywhere. If she thought you were dressed improperly, she sent you straight back home to change your clothes. I was willing; I would do anything to read.
My mother was not afraid of Mrs. Calloway. She wished me to have my own library card to check out books for myself. She took me in to introduce me.“Eudora is nine years old and has my permission to read any book she wants from the shelves, children or adults,” Mother said.
Mrs. Calloway made her own rules about books. You could not take back a book to the library on the same day you'd taken it out; she didn't care whether you'd read every word in it and needed another to start. You could take out two books at a time and two at most. So two by two, I read library books as fast as I could go, rushing them home in the basket of my bicycle. From the minute I reached our house, I started to read. I knew this was extreme happiness, and knew it at the time.
My mother shared this feeling of mine. Now, I think of her as reading so much of the time while doing something else. I remember her reading a magazine while acting the Wolf in a game of “Little Red Riding Hood” with my brother's two daughters. She'd just look up at the right time, long enough to answer—“I will eat you, my dear,” and go back to her place in the magazine article.
【1】Which of the following statements would Mrs. Calloway most likely agree with?
A.Readers can speak aloud in her library.
B.Readers can borrow one book every time.
C.Readers can return a book to the library on the 8ame day they borrow it.
D.Readers can take out any book they want from the shelves without returning it.
【2】Which can best describe Mrs. Calloway?
A.Creative and helpful.
B.Outgoing and patient.
C.Silent and humorous.
D.Strict and principled.
【3】What do the underlined words “this feeling” refer to in the last paragraph?
A.Love for her job.
B.Worries about the library rules.
C.Eagerness to read.
D.Admiration for Mrs. Calloway,
【4】What can be inferred about the author's mother according to the passage?
A.She has a great passion for reading.
B.She enjoys playing games with children.
C.She is interested in playing the part of a wolf,
D.She always forces the author to go to the library to read books.
22、Ballet as a charming dance form has fascinated audiences for many years. It is a form of dance that combines beauty and grace to tell a story in a dance form. Generally performed in theatres, ballet has always been a favored dream of many little girls. While ballet dancers need to work very hard for many years to perform in a professional ballet company, this does not discourage the girls.
Many people think that ballet originated in France, due to the ballet steps that all have French names. However, ballet can be traced back to Italy during the Renaissance period of the 1400s. While this was really just a pioneer to the classical ballet, the dances performed in Italy during this time led to the further development of ballet in France. The first ballet company arose in France and was called The Queen's Ballet Company.
In the 1800s the romantic style of ballet appeared, thanks in part to the ballet La Sylphide. La Sylphide made much use of the toe dancing technique and brought about many changes to ballet.
All romantic ballets focused on women and this encouraged women to take on increasingly to become ballerinas. While ballet prospered in other nations, it started declining in France. The decline could be because ballet was seen as being very worldly with mythical (神话的) steps.
The shift from mythical steps to more reasonable style that could be co-related to human movements came about in the twentieth century. This was because of the many different styles of dance that were becoming increasingly popular. The change that started in the twentieth century continues to transform ballet even today where it mixes different styles of dance.
Some ballets today have even gone so far as to combine another style of dance into the ballet. In 1944 a ballet was introduced called Fancy Free that use Jazz dance with the ballet steps to create a revolutionary ballet, and it was well received.
With time, ballet has developed and changed in many forms. A ballet by professionals continues to charm audiences despite the fact that most of us cannot even dream of performing most of the steps and moves of a ballet dancer.
【1】Why do people think ballet comes from France?
A. Because Frenchmen introduced ballet to Italy.
B. Because Frenchmen created many ballet steps.
C. Because the ballet steps are all named in French.
D. Because the first ballet company was founded in France.
【2】When did the romantic ballet appear?
A. In the 14th century. B. In the 19th century.
C. In the 15th century. D. In the 2lth century.
【3】From the last paragraph, we can know ballet becomes more_______________.
A. reasonable B. romantic
C. popular D. professional
【4】The passage mainly talks about _______________.
A. the development of classical ballet
B. the popularity of classical ballet

23、Most of us have dreamed of being a great inventor to create something great. However, just because someone’s invented something, it doesn’t mean that they’re happy with the end result.
Albert Einstein—The Atomic Bomb
It’s Albert Einstein’s work that made the creation of the atomic bomb possible.
However, years later Einstein regretted having signed a letter to President Roosevelt urging him to support the research into nuclear chain reactions, because he believed the Germans were already working on it. “Had I known that the Germans would not succeed in producing an atomic bomb,” he said, “I would have never lifted a finger.”
Ethan Zuckerman—The Pop-up Advertisement
If you’ve ever found yourself yelling at your computer screen in frustration as yet another pop-up ad leaps into view, Zuckerman is the person to blame. “The business model that got us funded was advertising. The model was analyzing users’ personal homepages so we could better target ads to them. Along the way, we ended up creating one of the most hated tools in the advertiser’s toolkit: the pop-up ad,” Zuckerman explained.
Bob Propst—The Office Cubicle
In the 1960s, Bob Propst introduced the office cubicle to Americans. It was designed to “give knowledge workers a more flexible environment than the rat-maze boxes of offices”. Companies saw his invention as a way to save money, doing away with individual offices and replacing them with open plans and cubicles. However, Propst came to complain his invention. “The cubiclizing of people in modem corporations is extremely mad and stupid,” he said.
