24、   Recently,my students couldn't get on well with each other,so I decided to have them play a game. I told each student to bring a plastic bag with a few tomatoes in it to school. Each student would "name" their tomatoes after the people they did not like. Therefore,the number of tomatoes would be different depending on how many people each student disliked.

The next day,all of the students brought their tomatoes to school. Some of them had just one or two tomatoes,while others had as many as five or six. I then told the students that they would have to carry their tomatoes with them wherever they went for one week.

Several days went by. Some of the students started to complain,as their tomatoes started to rot （腐烂） and smell bad. The students who carried more tomatoes also complained about how heavy their bags were.

One week later,the game was over. I asked,"How did you feel about carrying your tomatoes for a week?"

The students complained once again. I simply smiled and said,"This is what it's like to carry hate in your heart. You have to carry "it" with you wherever you go. If you can't stand carrying rotten tomatoes for one week,can you imagine having hate in your heart for a whole lifetime?"

It can be exhausting to carry hate in your heart for a whole lifetime. Forgive others and move on with your life.

【1】The number of tomatoes the students were asked to carry depended on __________.

A.the size of the tomatoes B.the name of the tomatoes

C.the weight of the tomatoes D.the number of the people they hated

【2】What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 5 refer to?

26、Last year, I worked in a middle school near my mother’s house, and I stayed with her for a month. During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food. After the first week, I noticed that the food was eaten up very quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my mom.

To my surprise, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bag and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them.

One day, I talked to a neighbor and found out that my mom was well-known in the area. The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own mother. Then it hit me—why wouldn’t she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop buying food if I found out?

When my mom got home, I gave her a big hug. I told her she didn’t need to keep it a secret from me. And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small house. Others slept on the street. For years, she was helping the poor street children by giving them food. After she told me everything, I was so moved by how selfless (无私的) she was. She helped others in need. As her son, I was so proud of my mom.

27、   Dolphins are our friends. They can use tools to solve problems although they don’t have hands. For example, scientists have ever found that a dolphin can make a shy eel (鳗鱼)  come out of the hole with a dead fish.

Dolphins use different sounds to get or give information. Scientists in Hawaii have developed a sign language to give instructions to dolphins, and the results are amazing. They find that dolphins not only understand the meaning of some words, but also understand the importance of word order in a sentence.

Most animals enjoy playing, but dolphins seem to like making their games as exciting as possible. On a beautiful day in 1997, scientists at a beach watched a little dog going into the sea and swimming towards the dolphins. To their surprise, the dolphins came up to the dog and then started throwing it into the air. The dog seemed to enjoy the “game” and continued playing with the dolphins for more than an hour.

Dolphins live in a very different world from ours, but they are very good at our “IQ tests”. For example, they will jump out of the water when they hear a whistle from the keeper. They do this because they will get a fish as a prize. 

There is still much to learn about these cute problem-solvers, but it is sure that watching a dolphin show is fun.

【1】What can a dolphin use to make an eel come out of the hole?

A.A small mouse. B.A dead cat. C.A dead fish. D.A little dog.

【2】How do dolphins get and give information?

A.By using tails. B.By using tools. C.By using words. D.By using sounds.

【3】Where did the dolphins throw the dog when playing?

A.Onto its back. B.Into the air. C.Onto the beach. D.Into the water.

【4】What does the underlined word “whistle” mean in Chinese?

A.音量 B.音速 C.口哨 D.音标

【5】Which is the main idea according to the passage?

A.Dolphins can understand many languages. B.Dolphins are a kind of clever animals.

C.Scientists have known dolphins well enough. D.Dolphins can make their games relaxing.

28、阅读短文，根据首字母或所给词的适当形式填空，使文章语义通顺。

Dear Daniel, haven’t 【1】 (see) you for some time. These days our sweet moments keep 【2】 (run) into my mind. Since you were b【3】, I remembered, as a baby, you reached for me whenever you were hungry or needed to be held. As you grew older, I told 【4】 (me) it was part of growing up, and I should just be glad you could do things on your o【5】 now. But I’ve been needed so much for s【6】 a long time, it’s hard to step back and feel unnecessary.

On that day, I was visiting you in your city. When we were about 【7】 (cross) a busy street, you took my hand suddenly and shouted, “Hang on to me,” then led me 【8】 (safe) across. At that moment, I realized that my boy became a man and our roles changed. We still needed each other, but in different ways.

My boy, you have taught me to depend on you just as you once depended on me. The loving hands “touch” us, even if we live miles away. That’s 【9】 there is always a silent promise between us that says, “I am here and you are not a【10】.”
