24、Oscar Bloom was unhappy. It was his eighth birthday. All his friends were going to come over that evening. His little sister Samantha had made him the brightest, friendship-birthday bracelet. He had heard his dad whispering to his mom the day before about “picking up the little puppy,” and had a feeling that one of his presents might be a little dog that he had been wishing for ever since he was five.

So what was wrong?

Oscar was sad because there was one very, very, hugely important person who was missing today — his beloved Grandma Rose. Last year she fell ill and then one day she just wasn’t there.

“Grandma’s gone, but she still loves you very much,” mom explained.

“I miss Grandma Rose,” Oscar said.

“Well, Grandma has a present for you!”

A present from Grandma? How?

Mom pressed ‘play’ on the CD player, and Oscar heard his grandmother’s voice!”My dear Oscar, ”the recording began. “I’m sorry I can’t be there with you today to celebrate such an exciting day, but I’m with you in spirit. I’m with you all the time. As your birthday present, I’d like to tell you about the day you were born, which was the very first day I met you. That was exactly eight years ago. What a tiny little thing you were back then! The doctor hardly had time to pick you up before you started to make sounds! Every doctor waits for the baby to cry, to make sure the baby is healthy, but you, Oscar, you changed the rules on them. Your mother doesn’t remember this because she was so tired, but I will never forget it. You opened your mouth, and you gave a little laugh! That’s right, you laughed! And only then did you open your mouth wider to start crying like all of the rest of the babies in the hospital. I hope you remember this story for the rest of your life, young man,” Grandma Rose continued. “This is the beginning of your oral history! My present to you!”

Oscar couldn’t believe his ears. His own Grandma Rose was telling him a story he had never heard before. A big smile grew across Oscar’s face. What a special birthday this had turned out to be!

【1】What was Grandma Rose doing when Oscar had his eighth birthday party?

B．He didn’t laugh but cried.

C．He laughed before he started to cry.

D．He cried because the doctor didn’t pick him up.

A．The little dog.

B．The bracelet.

C．The recording.

D．The birthday party.

25、

Peter Lantos started seeing the ugly messages someone posted about him on his social networking site when he was only fourteen. He didn’t know who they were from, only that the posts came from someone called Guess9. The posts continued into high school, and the messages got uglier. Whenever Peter went online, he would always find more terrible posts. He felt like it was his problem, so he didn’t say anything to his parents at first. Sometimes the bullying made him so bad that he didn’t want to go to school. Peter was the victim of cyberbullying.

In several ways cyberbullying is even worse than face-to-face bullying. A cyberbully can post anonymously, using an online name, like Guess9, instead of his or her real name. A cyberbully can post someone’s personal information or post photos or videos that might be embarrassing to the victim. Hundreds, thousands, or even millions of people might see the messages on their notebooks, tablets, or smartphones.

What should you do if you are a victim? The most important thing anyone can do is to tell someone. Talk to an adult about it. Don’t deal with cyberbullying alone! There are ways to block a cyberbully’s posts, and someone can help you do that. And one of the most effective things you can do might be to do nothing. Ignoring the bully, rather than replying to his or her posts. puts you in control. Instead of responding, take a break, or go for a walk. Remember that the cyberbully has done something wrong. You haven’t. And what if you have a friend who is bullying someone online? Take a stand! Tell your friend how hurtful it is. You might make a difference.

27、Creativity is the key to a brighter future, say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.

 If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have an important product: a new type of tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his old company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking and developing new ideas.

Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence (智慧). Just because a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.

 Unluckily, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can give back information but can’t recognize ways to use it in new situations. They may know the rules correctly, but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems.

 It is important to give children choices. From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if it’s choosing between two kinds of food for lunch, decision-making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money, but not help them too much if they make the wrong decision. The child may have a hard time, but that is all right. This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire (欲望) to find a way out of trouble.

【1】What did the company where Dick Drew work learn from its mistake?

A. They encouraged people to work a longer time.

B. They discouraged (阻碍) people to think freely.

C. They asked people to spend all their work time developing new ideas.

D. They encouraged people to spend some of their work time thinking and improving new ideas.

【2】Why don’t schools try to encourage creativity?

A. They don’t understand the importance of education.

B. They don’t want their students to make mistakes.

C. They pay too much attention to examination marks and language skills.

D. They think it more important to remember some information.

【3】What should the parents do when their children decide how to spend their money?

A. Try to help them as much as possible

B. Take no notice of whatever they do

C. Help them if their decision is wrong, but not too much

D. Leave them as they are

【4】The best title for the passage can be ______.

A. The importance of creativity

B. What is creativity?

C. The history of creativity 

D. How can we develop creativity?

28、

Most people have heard of the Great Wall of China. However，not many people 【1】 [aut’saɪd] of China know about the Grand Canal，which is known in China as Da Yunhe. It is the 【2】（long）and oldest waterway in the world. This waterway is 3，200 kilometers long 【3】 a history of more than 2，500 years.

The Grand Canal was built in 468 BC，and it has been rebuilt three 【4】 in history，which were in the Spring and Autumn Period， the Sui Dynasty（朝代） and Yuan Dynasty， In the past，the Grand Canal was used for 【5】（move）food and water from south to north. In this way，the 【6】 [′rɪtʃ] land in south of China could feed capital cities in north.

The Grand Canal is still an important part of the transportation（运输）in China today， which 【7】（connect）Hangzhou with Beijing. 【8】（thousand）of boats use it every day. Now the Chinese government is doing new work on the Grand Canal. It is making the waterway deeper, 【9】 bigger ships can pass through.

Running through 【10】 [eɪt] provinces in China，the Grand Canal is one example of our great works. And it will continue to link the south to north for centuries to come.
