24、When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees. My grandmother always took me to the orchard (果园) on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill. Even though we worked so hard, the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.
One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canals and other projects began to be built in my village, “Who are they?” I asked. “They are good men from our government,” my grandma replied.
Shortly afterwards, I moved to another city for my junior high school. The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother.
One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that after the water conservation project (水利工程) was completed, a policy (政策) was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.
Thank those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of our countryside.

25、When I was a baby, I interested you and made you laugh. Whenever I was “bad”, you'd shake your finger at me and ask: “How could you?”—but then you'd give up, and roll me over for a belly scratch(腹部抓痒) and I believed that life could not be any more perfect.
My housetraining was a long process, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks, runs in the park and car rides. We stopped for ice cream. I took long sleeps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.
Step by step, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human friend. Finally, you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a dog person, but I still welcomed her into our home. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement, I was attracted by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them too. Your wife was afraid I would bite them. However, as they began to grow, I became their friend.
Now, you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to a flat that does not allow pets. You've made the right decision for your "family", but there was a time when I was your only family.
I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound(收容所). It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said: “I know you will find a good home for her.” They shrugged(耸肩) and gave you a pained look.The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye. And "How could you?" were the only three words that swept over my mind.
Is it better to live with hope or without hope? At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind and that this was all a bad dream.
My beloved master, I will think of you and wait for you forever. I hope you receive more faithfulness(忠诚) from your family than you showed to me.
【1】Who tells this story?
A. A dog. B. A child.
C. A dog's owner. D. A dog trainer

B. It did not trust humans any more.
C. It was excited about the pound.
D. It continued to love its former owner.
【3】What is the theme of the story?

28、 The human brain's power could compete with any machine. And now a group of scientists from across Europe are trying to build one using the world's most p【1】 computer.
Our brains have 100 billion neurons Each one performs billions of ‘calculations’ second s【2】 to a desktop computer.
So the brain computer will need to be able to do a billion calculations.
Finding a way to power the supercomputer will be one of the Scientists' major challenges. They hope to c【3】 it within 12 years.
Group leader, Professor Henry Markram, said, “The billions of interconnected neurons make it hard for us to truly understand how the brain works. Simulating it will make it much e【4】 allowing us to operate and measure any aspect of the brain.”
The brain will be built in facility in Germany. It will have thousands of 3D images, so scientists can “fly” around different areas and w【5】 how they communicate with each other.
If the “brain” works, it will help scientists understand brain diseases such as Parkinson's, and know more about how we think and make d【6】.
There are concerns about the consequences of the computers which can think for themselves. But Professor Markram said “This is one of the t【7】 great challengers for humans. We need to understand earth, space and the brain. We need to understand what makes us human.”
29、What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no ________ over, like the weather? Is time the same all over the world?
That’s an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. Well, maybe. But in America; time is more than that. Americans see time as a ________ resource. Maybe that’s why they are fond of the expression “Time is money.”
Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to save and manage it. People in the US often attend meetings or read books on time management. It seems they all want to ________ their time better. Professionals carry around pocket planners to keep track of appointments and deadlines.
To Americans, being on time is a way of showing ________ for other people’s time. More than 10 minutes late for an appointment usually calls for an apology and an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the reason. Of course, the less formal the situation is, the less important it is to be ________ on time.
American lifestyles show how much people care about the time of others. If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient. Also, people ________ to call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may differ, but most folks think twice about calling after 10:00 p. m.
Even Americans would admit that no one can master time. Time — like money — slips all easily through our fingers. And time — like the weather — is very hard to predict. Nevertheless, time is one of life’s most valuable gifts. And unwrapping it is half the fun.
