23、

It’s not true that only women wear skirts. Men can wear them, too.

In Scotland, men wear a kind of skirt called kilt. The kilt is their national dress and an important part of their tradition.

A kilt is a colored skirt reaching down to the knees. It has checks（方格）on it with different colors, like red and blue. Each family in Scotland has its own colors.

How did the Scots start to wear kilts? There are many stories about it. One story is that the kilt was invented in the 1720s by an English factory owner, Thomas Rawlinson.

Rawlinson had a number of Scottish workers in his factory and he thought their clothing got in the way of their work. So he cut their long clothes into shorter skirts.

Today, most Scotsmen look the kilt as a formal dress. They usually only wear them at weddings or big dinners. There are only a few men who still wear a kilt every day.

Scots also wear kilts in parades（游行队伍）when they play their traditional musical instrument bagpipes. The army still has kilts as the dress uniform, but they no longer use them when fighting.

【1】Which of the following is a kilt?

A．

B．

C．

D．

【2】In Scotland,different families have different ________ for their kilts.

【4】Which of the following is NOT true?

24、   It’s late at night. A car stops in the middle of a forest. After dropping off their three teenagers, the parents say “good luck” and drive away. The teenagers, totally lost, have to find their way back home by themselves.

It may sound crazy to you, but this is a tradition with a long history for Dutch parents called “dropping”. Dutch people believe that children should not depend too much on their parents and should learn how to solve problems through activities like “dropping”.

However, for many other parents around the world, their top worry is their children’s safety. After all, why should they put their children at risk when there are many other ways to develop their independence?

People have many different opinions about parenting (育儿). All parents want their children to be happy, healthy and successful. In China, for example, many parents spend much money on summer vacation activities for their children. They want their children to enjoy their vacation as much as possible.

But some parents try too hard and become “helicopter ( 直 升 机 ) parents”—just the opposite of “dropping”. They worry too much about their children and pay attention to everything they do—like helicopters flying over their children. In their eyes, children need to be protected all the time.

But this might not be a good parenting style either, according to American parenting expert Kenneth Ginsburg. As Ginsburg writes, parents should keep a balance (平衡) by “making sure their children don’t crash (碰撞) against the rocks, but allowing them to ride the waves (波浪).”

【1】For Dutch people, “dropping” can help children .

A.learn how to solve problems B.find their homes in forests

C.depend on their parents D.enjoy a summer vacation

【2】Many other parents around the world worried the most about  .

A.good luck B.safety C.grades D.success

【3】Which one of the following pictures can best show “helicopter parents”?

A.A B.B C.C D.D

【4】According to Kenneth Ginsburg, parents should   .

A.find a balance between keeping safe and letting go

B.depend a lot on their children in the future

C.let their children take risks all the time

D.watch their children doing everything

25、   Fresh water is very important to people, animals and plants. If there is no water, we all could not l【1】.

Many places in the world need more fresh water. Every country is trying to find w【2】 to turn salt water into fresh water.

In some places, the Sun is not hot e【3】, or it doesn’t shine every day.  In these places, other ways of heating sea water can be used. These ways c【4】 more money, but they work faster than the Sun. By boiling sea water with high heat, a lot of fresh water can be m【5】 quickly.

But heating is not the only way to get fresh water from salt water. Other ways are tried. One way is freezing. The fresh part of salt water freezes first. To get fresh water, the pieces of ice are t【6】 out.

Which way is the best? The one that gives the most water with the l【7】 money. It may be a different way for each place.
