22、   China and Western countries have something different in cultures about certain animals, but when it comes to pigs, we have the same idea—pigs are ugly, lazy and stupid.

Just look at some Chinese sayings such as "Boiling a dead pig' and "A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig." And in English, there are some expressions like "Eating like a pig" and "Pigs might fly." None of them are complimentary (赞美的).

However, pigs have some good qualities (品质). They are even as smart as dogs and elephants. They have good memories. And they know whether (是否) people treat them well or not.

A UK cartoon, Peppa Pig is a most popular cartoon. The four members in the pig family teach children from all around the world about love, friendship and the value (价值) of family. And a Chinese cartoon film, the Adventures of Me Dull, is also very famous. In the cartoon, the little pig, Me Dull, has a heart of gold and always works hard towards his dreams. Most people want quick success, but Me Dull is slow and patient, and not afraid of failing again and again.

Maybe when we talk about pigs next time, we should think of their good qualities.

【1】China and western countries have________in cultures according to the passage.

A.the same idea towards pigs B.different ideas towards pigs

C.the same idea towards all the animals D.different ideas towards all the animals

【2】From Paragraph Three, we can learn that________.

A.pigs have good qualities

B.the two cartoons are well-known

C.both Chinese and English children like pigs

D.China and Western countries have different cultures

24、At the age of 16, Julia left school and worked at a restaurant. For many years, she was only interested in making money. Then one day she had a serious car accident which changed her life. "I had a terrible car accident in August 1996. It took me 10 months to recover (康复) from the accident. During that time, I realized I wanted to find a more meaningful reason for being here in this world," said Julia.

As soon as she recovered, Julia gave up working at the restaurant and traveled to California. One day she found a big company wanted to cut down part of a forest. In the forest there were lots of redwood trees. One of the trees was more than 1 ,000 years old.

Then Julia learned a group called Our Earth was trying to save the redwood forest from the company. They decided to find someone to live in a redwood tree and hoped this would stop the company from cutting the trees down. Julia volunteered.

Julia lived in the tree for over two years without ever going down. It was cold and wet in a redwood tree. There were even very serious winter storms while Julia was in the tree.

Finally the company decided to protect the trees Julia lived in. They agreed never to cut down the big redwood tree or the trees around it. When Julia put her feet on the earth, she began to cry. But she continued to do other things to protect the environment.

根据短文内容，判断正（T）误（F）。

【1】Making money was the only thing Julia took an interest in when she worked at a restaurant.

【2】After Julia recovered, she went to protect the environment at once.

【3】Julia's living in the redwood tree stopped the company from cutting the trees down.

【4】The life in the tree for Julia was comfortable and enjoyable.

【5】Julia understood there were more meaningful things to do from her experiences.
