21、   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. 

Dolphins may not speak English — but, just like humans, they know all about broken hearts.

【1】Peter is the name of ___________.

A.a doctor B.dolphin C.a scientist D.an experiment helper

22、

I'm a girl, Rosie. Racing on the 1, 500-meter track(跑道), I'm so tired. I want to stop but a voice is repeating in my head, "No one knows what the result will be. Everything is still possible. "Today, I have to fight with myself.

Nine years ago, when I was a 6-year-old girl, my mother took me on a trip. We went to the foot of a high mountain which she told me that we would climb. I had never done this before and the thought of it made me very happy.

At the beginning, I was so excited, and climbed fast. But half an hour later, when I was thirsty and tired, I just stopped and sat on the ground, completely silent. My mom came and sat next to me.

She said, "Get up and go on!"

Crying, I almost shouted, "Never! It's too tiring and I am thirsty. I want to go back home now. "

Patiently she explained, "Listen, my dear. If you try your best, anything is possible. If you don't try, your dream will never come true. You will never know how beautiful the sights(风景) look unless you reach the top of the mountain. "

Hearing her words, I stopped crying and started to climb again. Finally I did reach the top of the mountain and enjoyed the fantastic view.

Today I'm on the racing track. I'm going to keep running because I know it's always valuable. And in the end I made it—I got through the finish line.

Although it was really difficult and I did not win, I did finish it. "Never stop fighting until you arrive at your destined(命定的)place."

【2】What did her mother do when Rosie wanted to give up during the trip?

A.She shouted at her. B.She explained to her patiently.

C.She fought with her. D.She was silent and went on climbing.

【3】What can we learn from Rosie's experience?

A.We should keep running every day.

B.We should keep fighting until we achieve our goals.

C.When we climb mountains, we should try to climb fast.

D.When we are on the racing track, winning is the most important.

23、I have been reading the book Carotte’s Web by E．B．White．In this book, Fern lives on a farm．

At the start of the book, a little pig is born．He is very small．Fern's father is going to kill him．But Fern saves the pig．She calls him Wilbur and feeds him．When he is big enough, Wilbur goes to live in Fern's uncle’s barn(谷仓)．

In the barn, Wilbur makes a friend called Charlotte．She is a spider．Wilbur finds out that Fern’s uncle is going to kill him for meat．Wilbur asks Charlotte for help．
