21、Blowing bubbles is fun! The best thing about bubbles is that it's easy to make your own bubble solution (溶液). You can make as much as you want and blow as many bubbles as you'd like. If you add a “secret” ingredient (配料), you’ll get bigger and stronger bubbles! Do just as follows:
Measure 6 cups of water into one container, then pour 1 cup of dish soap into the water and slowly stir it until the soap is mixed in. Try not to let bubbles form while you stir.
Measure 1 tablespoon of glycerin (甘油) or 1/4 cup of corn syrup (玉米淀粉) and add it to the container. Stir the solution until it is mixed together.
You can use the solution right away, but to make even better bubbles, put the lid on the container and let your super bubble solution sit overnight. The soap mixture on the outside of a bubble is actually made of three very thin layers: soap, water, and another layer of soap. A bubble pops when the water that is trapped between the layers of soap evaporates (蒸发). The glycerin or corn syrup mixes with the soap to make it thicker. The thicker skin of the bubbles keeps the water from evaporating as quickly, so they last longer. It also makes them stronger, so you can blow bigger bubbles.
Dip a bubble wand or straw into the mixture, slowly pull it out, wait a few seconds, and then blow. If you don't have a ready-made “bubble wand”, you can make your own by cutting off the end of the bulb of a plastic pipet. Dip the cut end in solution and blow through the narrow end. You can also make a loop out of thin wire or pipe cleaner. Just twist a round end on your wire to blow the bubbles through. You can even make it heart-shaped, square or use other shapes if you're clever enough to bend it well.
【1】For what purpose is the text is written?
A．To argue.
B．To advertise.
C．To entertain.
D．To instruct.
【2】What does the secret in making bigger and stronger bubbles lies in?
A．The soap.
B．The corn syrup.
C．The water.
D．The straw.
【3】What can you use a bubble wand to do?
A．Blow bubbles.
B．Mix the solution.
C．Measure soap.
D．Shape wires.
【4】What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A．More soap, more bubbles.
B．Less water, better bubbles.
C．Thicker layers, bigger bubbles.
D．Stronger skin, bigger bubbles.
22、 There is some unwelcome news for students preparing for exams and officers putting in long hours-----you don't need the break as much as you may think that makes you feel less tired.
Scientists have long assumed that willpower (意志力) is a limited resource, which is why you feel the need to have a rest, have a snack and come back to a task when you're feeling better. They argued that the only way to restore willpower was by rest, food or entertainment.
But psychologists have challenged this theory, saying weak willpower is all in your head. They found that people's beliefs in willpower determine how long and how well they'll be able to work on a tough mental exercise. "If you think of willpower as something that's limited, you're more likely to be tired when you perform a difficult task," said Prof.Veronika Job. "'But if you think of willpower as something that is not easily used up, you can go on and on."
The researchers designed four experiments to test students'-beliefs in willpower. After a tiring task, those, who believed or were led to believe that willpower is a limited resource, performed worse on standard concentration tests than those who thought of willpower as something they had more control over. They also found that leading up to final exam week, students who believed the limited resource theory ate junk food 24 percent more often than those who believed they had more control in resisting temptation (诱惑).
Mr. Job said. "The theory that willpower is a limited resource is interesting, but it has had unintended consequences. Students who may already have trouble studying are being told that their power of concentration is limited, and they need to take frequent breaks. But a belief in willpower as a non-limited resource makes people stronger in their ability to work through challenges.'"
The findings could help people who are battling temptation. Willpower isn't driven by a biologically based process as much as we used to think. The belief in it is what influences your behavior.
【1】The theory that willpower is limited supports that _________.
A. people must eat snacks when they feel tired
B. people do need a break to restore their willpower
C. there’s no way to strengthen people’s willpower
D. weak willpower doesn’t affect people’s life much
【2】What have the scientists long believed regarding willpower?
A. It is in the charge of people.
B. It is a limited resource.
C. There is no way to restore willpower.
D. It doesn’t easily run out.
【3】Which of the following best helps the students to prepare better for their exams?
A. Push themselves even if they want to take a break.
B. Don’t eat fast food while studying.
C. Remind themselves willpower is not limited.
D. Stay in a comfortable and quiet place.
【4】What’s the best title for the passage?
A. A new theory about willpower
B. How to build strong willpower
C. The great influence of willpower
D. Willpower doesn’t last long

24、In 1880, fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson loved to hear sailors tell tales of their exciting lives at sea. The travel, the adventure, the danger, and the steady pay were all attracting young Henson. One day, he found a job as a cabin boy on a beautiful ship called the Katie Hinds. For the next five years, Henson sailed around the world. With the help of the ship’s captain and other members of the crew, Henson learned mathematics, navigation, history, geography, and many other subjects. By the time he left the Katie Hinds in 1885, Henson was well educated and had become an excellent seaman.
Unable to find work anywhere else, Henson took a job in a hat shop in Washington, D.C. One day in 1887, a man came in to buy a hat. The man, Robert Peary, asked the owner if he knew anyone with experience at sea. Peary would soon travel to South America for the U.S. government. He needed experienced men to accompany him. The shop owner knew about his young employee’s skills and experience on ocean journeys, so he introduced Peary to Henson.
Using his map-reading and sailing skills, Henson proved himself to be a worthy and smart seaman. Peary soon made Henson his assistant, and they became close friends. One day Peary told Henson about his real dream: to be the first man to stand on “the top of the world” at the North Pole. He asked Henson to help him make his dream come true. Over the next five years, the two explorers made two trips together to the Arctic. However, they were not able to reach the pole either time. The cold, wind, and ice were worse than either of them had ever imagined.
In 1908, Peary and Henson were ready to make their final attempt at reaching the North Pole. Both men were over forty years old. The years of hardship in the arctic cold had made them suffer a lot. This would be their last chance. With four Inuit guides, they made a mad rush straight across the ice toward the pole. Peary’s feet were injured and he had to be pulled on a dogsled. In April 1909, Henson’s instruments showed they were standing at the North Pole. Together Henson and Peary planted the American flag in the snow.
In later years, Robert Peary and Henson were greatly honored for their achievements. Today, the two friends and fellow explorers lie in heroes’ graves not far apart in the Arlington National Cemetery.

26、Oseola McCarty spent more than 75 years washing and ironing other people’s clothes．As a laundrywoman, she was paid only a few dollars each time．Certainly nobody would consider her rich, so they were all amazed when Miss McCarty decided to donate $ 150,000 to the University of Southern Mississippi．
The money was in fact her life savings．She could save such a large amount of money because she lived a very simple life．She never learned to drive, and when she wanted to go somewhere, she just walked．She never flew to anywhere till the donation，and in 50 years she had been out of the South only once．The house in which she lived was also a rather modest one her last uncle left her．Only after she became known in America did she begin to travel all over the country．Since then, she had been the subject of many interviews and articles and was even invited to the White House．
Her donation was for students who clearly needed financial help．She herself left school in the sixth grade and had never married or had children．She said to the reporters that the idea of helping somebody’s child go to college gave her much pleasure．
