24、
John and James were best friends. They fought for many reasons, but never gave up their friendship. They visited many places in their travels. They passed through various villages, towns, and forests. They supported each other throughout the journey.
One day, they reached a desert. They had very little food and water. John said that they should save the food and water for later use. However, James disagreed. He wanted to drink water, as he was very thirsty. They had an argument with each other for the water. John slapped (掌掴) James, and they walked in silence. James felt hurt and wrote on the sand, "My best friend slapped me!"
Finally, they saw an oasis (绿洲). They were very happy, and had a lot of fun in the water. While they were both taking baths, James was a little careless and nearly drowned himself. John rushed to him and saved him. James hugged his friend and thanked him. They had a rest and decided to leave the place. When they were about to leave, James carved (刻) something on a rock. It was "My best friend saved my life!"
He said to John, "When you slapped me, I recorded it on the sand. The wind would have blown it away by now. However, when you saved my life, I recorded it on the rock. It will remain there forever." We have to forget the bad things and cherish the good things that are done to us.

25、Chinatown is the name given to an area in the middle of London. It is a large Chinese community with a lot of Chinese restaurants, supermarkets and shops.
In the 1950s, it was a poor area and everything was very cheap. At the same time, the world rice market changed and thousands of farm workers in Hong Kong lost their jobs. They began arriving in London to look for work. They found jobs in the restaurants in this area.
These restaurant workers often worked 17 hours a day and had no time to learn English. As more Chinese arrived, more shops and businesses grew up. Wives came and joined their husbands and children came and joined their fathers. The community grew, and Chinatown was born.
In the 1970s and 1980s, British-born Chinese started to have a better education and this brought economic (经济的)success to the area. Many families moved out of Chinatown, and there was more space for businesses. Chinatown soon became a popular place for tourists.
Now everyone knows about London’s Chinatown. During the Chinese New Year, the streets are seen with flags and thousands of Chinese go into the streets. For most of the year, though, Londoners and tourists go there mainly for the food in the Chinese restaurants. The best restaurants are the ones where the Chinese eat.

27、 As the global pandemic (传染病) speeds up, many are wondering about whether the face masks (口罩) really work and when it's proper to wear them. Most people from the East believe that wearing a mask is necessary to control the spread of NCP (新冠肺炎). But people in the West generally would argue that unless one is already ill, wearing a mask is simple unnecessary.
In Eastern countries, mask-wearing is mostly due to their cultures. In fact, people in the East wear masks not just to protect themselves from illness but also for all kinds of other reasons. In China, masks are worn in any situations in daily life, such as doing homework or visiting parents in the hospital. They can give people the comfort of being protected.
In recent years, some of Asian people wear masks just to make themselves look good. Young people in Japan, for example, like to wear masks as a fashion, expressing their personal style through special drawings and patterns.
Some sociologists (社会学家) even make some deeper study about the different ideas about wearing masks between eastern countries and western countries.
In Asia, wearing a face mask is also a direct expression of group values. With one's face half covered, one becomes part of the group. "People communicated their responsibilities to the social group of which they were members." wrote Peter Bachr, a researcher in sociology (社会学) at Lingnan University, Hong Kong.
In Western countries, however, ▲ . As a member in the city, it's one's duty to prevent the spread of illness by following proper hygienic (卫生) steps, such as washing one's hands and not getting touch with others. But a face mask is showing some signs of illness. They will never do what they don't want to do for the public.
Whether from the East or the West, social culture and peer pressure (同伴压力) have played an important role in one's decision about whether or not to wear a mask. That's because human beings belong to society, who will properly consider what other members of society think of us. The most important thing is to respect others' opinions, no matter how different they are.
【1】According to the passage, ________ people like to wear masks to make themselves look fashionable.
A.French B.American C.Japanese D.Chinese

A.Eastern people wear masks, but western people think it unnecessary.
B.Western people regard wearing masks as a sign to show illness.
C.If an easterner wears a mask, his friends around him will keep away from him.
D.If a westerner finds his friends around him wearing masks, he may also wear a mask.
【4】If we put the passage into parts, which of the following is the best?
A.①; ② ③; ④ ⑤ ⑥; ⑦ B.①; ② ③ ④; ⑤ ⑥; ⑦
C.① ② ③; ④ ⑤; ⑥ ⑦ D.① ②; ③ ④; ⑤ ⑥ ⑦

29、Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap.
Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!
