24、   Hassan’s face brightened. “Good,” he said. He lifted our kite, red with yellow. He licked his finger and held it up, tested the wind, then ran in its direction. The spool (线轴) rolled in my hands until Hassan stopped, about fifty feet away. He held the kite high over his head, like an Olympic athlete showing his gold medal. I jerked the string twice, our usual signal, and Hassan threw the kite highly into sky.

I took a deep breath, and pulled on the string. Within a minute, my kite was rocketing to the sky. It made a sound like a bird flapping its wings. Hassan clapped his hands, and ran back to me. I handed him the spool, holding on to the string, and he spun it quickly to roll the loose string back on.

At least two dozen kites already hung in the sky, like paper sharks swimming in the sea. Within an hour, the number doubled. A cold breeze went through my hair. The wind was perfect for kite flying, blowing just hard enough to give some lift, make the sweeps easier. Next to me, Hassan held the spool, his hands already bloodied by the string.

Soon, the cutting started and the first of the defeated kites whirled (回旋) out of control. They fell from the sky like shooting stars, showering the neighborhoods below with prizes for the kite runners. I could hear the runners now, shouting as they ran the streets. Someone shouted reports of a fight breaking out two streets down.

I kept stealing glances at Baba sitting with his friend, wondering what he was thinking. Was he cheering for me? Or did a part of him enjoy watching me fail? That was the thing about kite flying: Your mind flew with the kite.

They were coming down all over the place now. The kites and I was still flying. My eyes kept wandering over to Baba. Was he surprised I had lasted as long as I had? You don’t keep your eyes to the sky, you won’t last much longer. I snapped my gaze back to the sky. A red kite was closing in on me—I’d caught it just in time. I tangled (纠缠) a bit with it, ended up besting him when he tried to cut me from below.

【1】Which of the following shows the right order of flying a kite?

① tested the wind   ② held the kite high over head   ③ ran in the direction of wind

④ held up the kite    ⑤ stopped far away    ⑥ threw the kite into sky

A. ④①③⑤②⑥ B. ④①③②⑤⑥ C. ④①②③⑤⑥ D. ④②①③⑤⑥

【2】According to the passage, which of the following is the disadvantage of flying kites?

A. A cold breeze may get hair untidy. B. Fingers may hurt.

C. A fight may break out. D. Mind may fly with the kite.

【3】Why did “I” keep looking at Baba when I was flying a kite?

A. I wanted to know what he was talking to his friend.

B. I wanted to get his advice and get my kite last to the end.

C. I was not confident and I was looking forward to his attention.

D. I was surprised that he had lasted so long watching my kite flying.

25、I don’t want to brag (吹嘘), OK, maybe I do want to a little. I have two very smart daughters. My oldest is 7 and she is one of the best students in her second grade class and my youngest, who is 2, is learning new things every day. When it comes to their cleverness, I believe this is because they love reading.

When my wife and I first became parents, we were told by a number of people that the best thing we could do for our kids was to encourage them to read. However, with things like television and video games out there, we found it was sometimes hard to make books seem more interesting. But, we succeeded with both of them by doing a few different things.

One of the first things we did was reading to them. My youngest daughter can’t read books herself yet. But, I also take the time to read to my oldest daughter, too. Not only is this a great way to bond with your kids and make them like you, it also introduces them to a world that they might not realize. One thing I recommend is making sure you plan first so you have plenty of time to read more than one book if they want it. This allows you to read their favorite stories while mixing in something new, too.

Another thing I started doing with my oldest daughter is having her read to her younger sister. This makes her practice reading out loud something she gets to do at school and loves to and I’ve noticed my 2-year-old seems to pay closer attention to the stories for some reason. The second thing we do with our kids is we challenge them to read outside their level. I have given my oldest daughter books that are a little more complicated (复杂的). I do this so she doesn’t get bored with “kids” books. For example, the other day, I had her try to read a Sherlock Holmes story. It was a bit hard. But, she understood it enough and she wanted to read it again with my help.

I also encourage her to read newspapers and magazines. I do the same thing when I read to my youngest daughter and will sometimes borrow one of her sister’s books. So far, she’s still paying attention when I read them. Third, and most important, I let them be kids and consider their interests. Reading is a great thing. But, you can get too much of a great thing, too. I let them mix in television, video games, etc. This keeps reading a bit more exciting for them because they like reading the books that they want to rather than think I’m forcing them to read instead of letting them do other things.

【1】What makes the writer feel difficult is ________.

A. how his children improve their reading and writing

B. that his youngest daughter can’t read books

C. how to keep TV and video from disturbing his children

D. how he finds interesting and good books for his kids

【2】What does the underlined phrase “bond with your kids” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Having a good relationship with your kids.

B. Encouraging your children to learn a lot.

C. Making your kids feel very surprised.

D. Making your kids live freely.

【3】Why does the writer let his oldest daughter read a Sherlock Holmes story?

A. His oldest daughter likes the books that adults read.

B. The writer wants his daughter not to lose her interest in reading.

C. The writer wants to know whether his daughter can understand it.

D. The writer wants to show off his daughter’s reading ability.

【4】According to the writer, which of the following ways are helpful to kids’ reading?

① Letting kids watch TV and play games.

② Reading kids’ favourite books only with something new to them.

③ Encouraging kids to read newspapers and magazines.

④ Having older kids read to younger ones.

⑤ Having kids read as adults do.

A. ①②③   B. ②③④ C. ③④⑤   D. ①③④

26、   Pat Brown went to her bank to ask for an ATM (自动取款机) card. It looks like a credit card. A few weeks later, the bank posted her a card and a four—number personal identification number (PIN). Her PIN is 1234.

As Pat was getting ready for bed one night, she remembered that she had only $2 in her bag. The next day she had to give $10 for a lunch for a co—worker. She didn’t want to get up early to go to the bank. So she had to go to the bank that night. She used her ATM card to take out $50 from her checking account (账户).

These are the steps she followed to withdraw (提取) money. First, she put her card in the lower slot (狭孔) on the right side of the machine. She made sure her card was facing the right way. Second, the computer screen said, “Please enter your PIN.” Pat pressed the number 1, 2, 3 and 4. Next, the screen said, “Please select type of transaction (交易) you want by pressing other keys.” Pat pressed the button key for taking out money.

Then the screen said, “From which account?” The choices it gave were Checking, Savings, and Money market. Pat pressed the key for Checking. Next, the screen said, “Please select amount (数量) of transaction (办理).” Pat pushed the number 5 and then 0 three times, and the screen read, “50.00.” The screen then read, “Please wait.” In less than a minute, it read,“Please lift the lid and take your money.”

Pat lifted the lid marked withdraw (提取). She counted her $50 to make sure the ATM hadn’t made a mistake. Then she waited for her withdrawal slip to come out of the slot at the upper right corner of the machine. Pat checked the slip to make sure it was correct. Then her ATM card was returned through the card slot. She put it in her bag and walked away. If Pat had made a mistake at any point by pressing the wrong button, she could have pressed Cancel (取消, 删去) and started over again.
