24、①Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom? Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have found out some interesting facts.

②Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. But it goes further than this. We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us. People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.

③We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar experiences and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves or even, we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes that’s true but it’s a pity if we always stay with the same people, the same group. The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区)is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas. We lose the chance to learn something new, find out about interesting things, hear funny stories and discover difference.

④When we always stay with the same people, how can we break down the barriers（屏障，障碍）which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas? And how can we avoid the ignorance (无知)? If you want to live in a society that opens to changes, new things and different opinions, be the cat among the pigeons（鸽子）.

⑤Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And don’t just sit there in silence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. That’s how we make friends. That’s how we learn about people. That’s how we open our minds to new ideas. That’s how we live an exciting life.

【1】From the passage, we know that people prefer sitting by someone who .

A. is like themselves B. has a sense of humor

C. is open-minded   D. lives an exciting life

【2】The sentence “Unsurprisingly, we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves.” should be placed at the beginning of __________.

A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2

C. Paragraph 3  D.Paragraph 4

【3】What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To tell us just to be ourselves in social life.

B. To introduce ways to learn about the world.

C. To explain how people communicate with others.

D. To encourage us to meet people of different kinds.

26、Spring Festival makes us fat. We visit our relatives and eat. We watch television and eat. We play video games and eat. By the end of the holidays we are fatter and less fit.

The easiest way to avoid getting fat is to eat le ss! There is just too much good food to eat. And much of that good food is not good for our health. Hamburgers, Kentucky Fried Chicken and French fries taste good but harm our health.

Most of these foods come from America. And Americans are worried about their children, too. 25% of American kids are overweight. They get less than 15 minutes of exercise a day, drink 2 litres of soft drinks, and spend 20% of their day watching TV and playing video games.

However, most American kids are very active and there are lots of opportunities for them to play sports. They play basketball, American football, soccer, baseball and ice hockey (冰上曲棍球). There are even “Little Leagues” for kids as young as 5 to play organized sports.

So what can you do in China to get fit instead of fat? Well, you can start doing simple things, like walking more. Get off the bus one stop before your school and walk the rest of the way. Swimming is also a great way to keep fit. Just look at Guo Jingjing! Or you can skip rope ( 跳绳) or play basketball with friends.

It doesn’t matter what you do as long as you do it. So, get up early, get active and get fit！

【1】During Spring Festival, what do we mostly do? __________

A. Drink and eat. B. Play video games.

C. Watch television. D. Visit our relatives.

【2】Which tastes good and is good for our health? __________

A. Hamburgers. B. Vegetables.

C. French fries.   D. Kentucky Fried Chicken.

【3】 Most American kids spend little time on exercise, less than __________ of their day.

A. 1%   B. 15%   C. 20% D. 25%

【4】Who is Guo Jingjing? __________

A. A great pop singer. B. An outstanding actress.

C. An active EXPO volunteer. D. A famous swimmer.

【5】Which of the following is not TRUE? __________

A. We should get up early, get active and then get fit.

B. About 25% of American kids are too fat.

D. The best way to avoid getting fat is to eat less and exercise more.

27、   Even in early time, people could realize the important of dreams and knew that dreams gave meaning to life. Every great achievement (成就) has been the result of years of dreaming. If a person has a dream and holds fast to it, he or she will find a way to bring it into reality (现实).

Children do not have much experience or knowledge. However, they are natural dreamers. We should not laugh at them for being naive. Many great men were dreamers when they were children. One such dreamer was Thomas Edison. He used to be ostracized (排斥) when he was in primary school, but his achievements were greater than everyone else’s in his time.

Teenagers and young people should also be encouraged to dream. The world is full of successful teenagers and young people. They dreamt big and their dreams changed their lives and even the world. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the good examples. They have developed technology and brought great progress (进步) to human besides making money for themselves.

Older people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality. Colonel Saunders realized his dreams at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company (KFC) in the world.

To dream is a wonderful ability which can lead to wonderful results. Olympic records were broken by players who were brave enough to dream. No one is too young or too old to dream and to make dreams come true.

28、Beijing’s annoying smog s【1】 to have hurt the city’s appeal to tourists. Last year ，Beijing Youth Daily reported that the number of visitors to Beijing had fallen 50 percent since January. It’s said that the city’s bad air q【2】 was responsible for the decline. It’s also more difficult to a【3】 high-end employees to work in Beijing, especially those with children.

H【4】, the blanket of poisonous smog hasn’t hurt Beijing’s office market, which has jumped up quickly on a g【5】 ranking to become the fourth-most-expensive location to rent office space in the world. According to a recent research, office space in Beijing’s Central Business District c【6】 on average $1,412 per square meter per year.

That’s more expensive than No. 5-ranked central Tokyo or No.6-ranked Madison & Fifth Avenues in New York. The research took into c【7】 both published rental rates and “additional costs”，which i【8】 agent fees and other costs to make the deal happen.

London remains the world’s most expensive city in w【9】 to rent office space. Hong Kong, home to the priciest office space in Asia, comes in second globally. The cities experiencing the highest annual g【10】 in office rental rates are both in South Africa with 40 percent rate for Durban and 44 percent for Sandton.
