21、Are there too many books you’re never going to read again on your bookshelf? Whether to start a little library with your book pals or to offer them as gifts to the younger ones is a good deed to do. 【1】
Donating your old books is a painless way to give. 【2】 It’ll arrange offline book fair near your place if booked online, and in most cases will fetch the books from you. Books 2 Africa accepts new and used books in English, French and any African languages.
【3】 Most of them work in much the same way: you enter your book’s barcode (条形码) or ISBN number, and they’ll tell you its value. You post your books, and they offer payment. Or you can try checking how much your copy is worth on Abe Books. It’s worth remembering that books don’t have to be particularly old to be valuable. 【4】
For something a bit more community-driven, try joining a book exchange. BookMooch works on a points system; you receive a point for each book you mail to someone else, which you can then “spend” on someone else’s book. 【5】 BookCrossing is the act of releasing your books “into the wild”, the aim being to connect people through literature.
So, if you have a pile of old books gathering dust, why not make them worthwhile for someone on the other end of the line?
A．A book in need brings a friend indeed.
B．And here are some ways to get rid of them online.
C．There’s a pleasingly random selection of books on offer.
D．Bookshops also accept old books according to their values.
E．The Children’s Book Project aims to help by gifting books.
F．Sure, you can list your old books on the second-hand online bookshops.
G．A first-edition Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stones is worth £70,000.
22、Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. "I was a clothes addict," he jokes. "I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled." Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt-to the office. He hardly ever wears necktie. "I'm working harder than ever," David says, "and I need to feel comfortable."
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as "dress-down Friday" or "casual Friday." "What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing," said business consultant Maisly Jones.
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. "A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work," says the owner of a software company, "so it's hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code." Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productive. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. "Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day," one person said.
"For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes."
【1】David Smith refers to himself as having been "a clothes addict" because _____.
A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt
B. he couldn't stand a clean appearance
C. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time
D. he didn't want to spend much money on clothes
【2】David Smith wears casual clothes now, because _____.
A. they make him feel at ease when working
B. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes
C. he looks handsome in casual clothes
D. he no longer works for any company
【3】In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT _____.
A. saving employees' money
B. making employees more attractive
C. improving employees' motivation
D. making employees happier
23、Parents might tell older children to “Act your age”. But some researchers say that is what persons from thirteen to nineteen years old are doing. While teenagers can look all grown up, studies have shown that their brains are still developing. How much this explains their behavior, though, is a subject of debate.
Jay Giedd of America’s National Institutes of Health is a leader in this area of research. Doctor Giedd has been studying a group of young people since 1991. They visit him every two years for imaging tests of their brains. He says considerable development continues in young people from the teenage years into the twenties.
A part of the brain called the dorsal-lateral prefrontal cortex appears especially undeveloped in teenagers. Researchers believe that this area controls judgment and consideration of risk. So, its underdevelopment may explain why young people seem more willing to take risks like driving too fast.
Laurence Steinberg is a psychology professor at Temple University in Philadelphia. He says stronger laws and stronger parental control are needed to protect teens from themselves. That includes raising the age for driving. He says research shows that teenage brains are not fully equipped to control behavior.
Other researchers, however, say there is not enough evidence to make a strong case for such findings. Psychologist Robert Epstein is a visiting scholar at the University of California in San Diego. Mr. Epstein notes that teen behavior differs from culture to culture. He says behavior depends for the most part on socialization. He believes that teenagers will demonstrate(表明) better, safer behavior if they spend more time with adults, and are treated more like them.
But is that always true? Mike Males works at the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice in San Francisco. He suggests that all of this talk lately about brainless teens could be an attempt to take away attention from the reality. Writing in the New York Times, he says it is middle-aged adults whose behavior has worsened. In his words, if grown-ups really have superior brains, why don’t we act as if we do?
【1】If your parents ask you to act your age, they really mean to advise that you __________.
A. behave yourself
B. take care of yourself
C. make yourself at home
D. do everything on your own
【2】Why do young people seem more willing to take adventures?
A. Because they can all look grown up in that way.
B. Because their dorsal-lateral prefrontal cortex appears undeveloped.
C. Because some researchers have been studying and encouraging them.
D. Because stronger laws and stronger parental control protect them
【3】Which of the following is TRUE about teenagers?
A. Their brains have almost stopped developing.
B. Their cultures have influenced their behavior more or less.
C. The behavior of brainless teens has drawn a lot more attention.
D. Staying more often with adults makes things even worse.
【4】It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Mike Males _______.
A. agrees with what Robert Epstein says
B. keeps silent about the subject of debate
C. is a leader in this area of research
D. has the opinion of his own
【5】The passage is written mainly to tell people that __________.
A. development continues in young people from the teens into the twenties
B. teenagers’ behavior differs from culture to culture
C. there is still a debate between researchers about people’s behaviors
D. the talk about brainless teens could take away attention from governments
24、 This story starts with my two kids. We were hiking in the Oakland woods when my daughter noticed some plastic litter in a creek. She looked at me and said, "Daddy? That doesn’t go there”.
When she said that, it reminded me of my summer camp. On the morning of that camping day, right before they’d let our anxious parents come through the gates, our camp director would say Quick! Everyone pick up five pieces of litter, "We got one hundred kids each picking up five pieces, and pretty soon, we got a much cleaner camp. So I thought, why not apply that crowdsourced cleanup model to the entire planet? And that was the inspiration for Literati. The goal is to create a litter-free world. Let me show you how it started. I took a picture of a cigarette using Instagram.
Then I took another photo. and another. And at the end of a few days, I had 50 photos on my hone and I had picked up each piece, and I realized that I was keeping a record of the positive impact I was having on the planet. That’s 50 fewer things you might see, or you might step on, or some bird might eat. So I started telling people what I was doing, and they started participating. I realized that Litterati was more than just pretty pictures; we were becoming a community that was collecting data. Each photo tells a story. It tells us who picked up what, a geo-tag tells us where and a time stamp tells us when. Gradually, the community grew.
Litter —it's blending into the back ground of our lives. But what if we brought it to the fore front? What if we understood exactly what was on our streets, our sidewalks and our school yards?
How might we use that data to make a difference?
【1】From the text we can tell Litterati is probably_______
A. a hi-tech company B. a reading software
C. a non-profit app D. a well-known magazine
【2】What does the author suggest by mentioning the inspiration from the camping director?
A. Many hands make light work. B. A good beginning is half done
C. Birds of a feather flock together. D. A candle lights others and consumes itself.
【3】What are the paragraphs following the text likely to deal with?
A. To present the reasons for so much litter
B. To appeal to people to use garbage classification.
C. To tell readers what measures to take to handle litter
D. To show more statistics about what they have done with litter

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Growing up, my family always had cats—but by the time I got to college, I wanted one l could call my own. So, I visited Animal Home in Michigan, looking for the perfect cat.
There was a black kitten I nearly ignored. He was skinny and small and not even cute, but he stuck his paws through the cage, trying to play with me. He was clearly interested in me, so I asked to hug him. He curled up on my shoulder and began purring(发出咕噜声). Our connection was immediate. I adopted him, named him Adam, and brought him home.
Over the next 16 years, Adam and I were so close. He was gentle, sweet and playful. But one night last year, everything changed.
It was as if one day Adam was still acting like a kitten, and then the next day he was vomiting(呕吐)all the time and no longer acting like his usual self. He'd lost weight and I knew that he was sick. I took him to the vet(兽医)and the diagnosis was sad: stomach cancer. Worse yet, the vet thought he was too old for operation. All I could do was give him medicine to help make him more comfortable.
A month later, Adam got worse. I took him to the emergency vet, where they kept him overnight to administer fluids(输液). When I went to pick him up the next morning, on Christmas Eve, the vet said it was time to end his life. It was the best thing to do for him. With deep sorrow, I said goodbye to him.
Once I got back home, reality hurt me much. Usually, Adam was there to wait for me at the door. But he was gone, leaving an aching emptiness in my life and in my home. I suffered from huge pain. I told my husband I didn't want another cat.
