21、   If you want to be a volunteer, you have to answer the following questions. Do you want to work with people, animals or machines (机器)? Do you want to work indoors or outdoors, directly (直接地) serve people in need or serve people behind the scenes? Every year, thousands of people in the West offer (提供) volunteer service. They volunteer to help the old, the young, the weak, the sick, the disabled and the injured to solve problems.

Volunteers usually help in many different ways.

They may give people advice, offer friendship to the young, drive the elderly to church (if up to the driving age), tell kids about healthy lifestyle, work as helpers in schools or nursing homes, raise funds, plant trees, help out in local libraries and do many other things. Volunteering can be a few hours a week or a few hours a month. Anybody who wants to serve people in need can become a volunteer. 

In fact, the act of volunteering is a process of both giving and receiving. Volunteering makes it possible for volunteers to meet new people, make new friends and mix with people from all walks of life. Volunteering is a good way to try out new techniques (技术) and skills and find out what you are good at. Being a volunteer will take you on a wonderful journey and help you learn more than what you can get from books.

22、Every year, we celebrate many special days—Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and New Year’s Day. In some countries, there is a special day for playing tricks on others. In North America and parts of Europe, this day is known as April Fool’s Day, and is celebrated on April 1.

Many people believe that the French started April Fool’s Day. Centuries ago, New Year’s Day in Europe was on April 1. In 1582, the calendar changed and King Charles Ⅸ of France moved it to January 1st.

Some people did not like this, and chose to keep April 1 as New Year’s Day. Many called these people “April fools” and played jokes and tricks on them. Over time, April 1 became a day to have fun in France. It then spread to England and Scotland, and later, to North America.

On April Fool’s Day, jokes are common. In the United States, for example, a person may move a friend’s clock ahead one hour, or change sugar into salt. In Scotland, April Fool’s Day lasts for two days. The second day is called “Taily Day”—for one’s “tail”. On this day, people might secretly put a sign saying “kick me” on a person’s back or behind. Other countries have their own “Fool’s Day”. In Spain and Mexico, people play tricks on each other on December 28. In India, it happens on March 31. In many countries around the world, April 1 is a day of fun. Jokes bring about a lot of laughter, and many shouts of “April Fool”!

23、"I never knew before, Cecil, that you were so fond of drawing," said Aunt Sophia, as she looked over the shoulder of her nephew, who was busy with his pencil. "You really have made great progress."

"I need to do so," cried Cecil, "if I am to carry off the prize for drawing, as I am determined to do this term."

"I should have thought," said the aunt, "that you had little chance against Lee. He is an artist's son, and has used the pencil from his cradle.(摇篮) "

"That will double the pleasure of beating him!" cried Cecil, "I'm working now at this four hours a day; he never draws more than two."

"You are not neglecting(忽视) your Latin for it, I hope? You have had the Latin prize every term for these three years past," said Aunt Sophia.

"Yes," replied Cecil, with a proud smile; "there is no boy in our class who can match me in that, though Russell is now working hard. But I am not content with one prize: I cannot rest till I have won the paint-box for drawing, of which Tom Lee makes so sure. It would be glorious to beat the son of an artist on his own ground!"

"Take care," said his aunt, "that you do not lose the Latin prize in trying for what you are not likely to gain.”

On the evening of the day on which the names of the prize-winners were read out, Cecil came home from school long-faced. His looks told his aunt enough to make her spare him the pain of questions; but his little sister Rosey was not so thoughtful.

"Cecil," she cried, "tell me, are you to get the two prizes?"

"No, not even one. I was so busy trying to beat Lee that I could not hold my ground against Russell." Cecil threw himself into a sofa in an angry mood.

Their aunt silently hoped that the lesson might prove worth the pain which it cost.

【1】What made Cecil keep practicing drawing?

A. His interest in drawing.   B. His strong will to win the prize.

C. Lee’s being the son of an artist.   D. Russell’s working hard on Latin.

【2】Which of the following words best describes Aunt Sophia?

A. Thoughtful   B. Strict   C. Strong   D. Cruel

【3】Why did Cecil fail to win any prizes?

A. He didn’t put in enough time.   B. He had no talent

C. He wanted to succeed too much   D. He was too tired

【4】The word “content with” in the passage means ________.

A. strong in   B. satisfied with   C. worried about   D. surprised at

【5】We can know from passage that________.

A. Cecil was fond of drawing

B. Cecil lost because Lee spent more time drawing

C. Aunt Sophia worried Cecil might lose both prizes before competitions

D. Aunt Sophia thought Cecil was good at drawing

24、   For ten weeks, in a great house on the island of St Thomas, John C. Lilly tried to teach a six-year-old dolphin to speak English. Margaret Howe, an experiment(试验) helper, would live day and night with Peter, a dolphin. And they would eat, bathe, sleep and play together from Sunday to Friday, with only Saturdays off for Margaret. She lived her life in swimming clothes — with a coat on colder evenings — and cut her hair short so that she could get on with Peter more easily. 

After a few days, Peter was becoming more and more interested in winning her attentions. He threw a ball against her shower towel to get her to play. As time went by, he only wanted to play ball with her and not on his own. 

The problem was that, just at the time Peter and Margaret began to get on well just as two best friends, the experiment ended and the lab was closed. After a few weeks, Margaret received the sad news that Peter had killed himself by refusing to breathe, and sinking to the bottom of his pool.
