25、We were standing at the top of a church (教堂) tower. My father had brought me to this high tower in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.

“Look down, Elsa.” Father said. I gathered (聚集) all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw several streets leading to the square. “See, my dear.” Father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can’t get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.”

Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful (糟糕的) lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.

When I turned to my father for help, he would not help. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.

At school the next day, I poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to Mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She tried one spoonful and sputtered (喷出来).“The cook must have gone mad! Quickly I told what I had done, and Mother promised that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!

In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson Father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer（时尚设计师） two years ago. I wouldn’t stop working until I tried every possible way. Father’s wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.

A．To have sports with Elsa.

B．To explain what he meant clearly.

C．To enjoy the views.

D．To have a rest there.

【2】What did Elsa want her mother to do earlier that day?

A．To speak to the school about lunches.

B．To do something delicious for lunches.

C．To get rid of (去除) the terrible eating habit.

D．To know she was complaining about her lunches.

【3】What does the underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph mean?

A．It means her father’s work was wonderful.

B．It means their cook was driven mad finally.

C．It means the method Elsa thought of was great.

D．It means the matter of lunch hasn’t been settled (解决).

【4】What does Elsa try to tell us by sharing her own experiences?

A．How wise her father is.

B．How terrible her mother is.

C．How bad the lunches of her school are.

D．When one road is blocked (受阻), try another.

28、Shanghaihua (上海话)：use it or lose it

There are about 6.000 languages in the world and some experts say that as many as half of these languages will disappear in the next one hundred years. Will Shanghaihua be one of t【1】? It’s a question that more people are asking.

In China, Putonghua is the official language. That m【2】 it’s the language of government business and the media（媒体）. And it’s also the language that is used in schools.

Shanghai is a special city. It is modern fashionable and sophisticated (老练的). And Shanghaihua shows that by being modern, fashionable and sophisticated. “I love riding on the b【3】  and listening to people speaking Shanghaihua.”Miss Evans, an American reporter said.“I don’t understand a word they are saying but I like the s【4】 of the language. It sounds smoother than Putonghua. And Shanghainese like things “ renao ”（热闹）so even a discussion about the weather can sound like an argument or a party. My bus rides are a【5】 interesting.”

Young people still speak Shanghaihua but not as well as their parents and grandparents. They are under more and more pressure（压力）to speak Putonghua. So the language is being used l【6】 often in everyday life. Some people want to keep the language from d【7】 completely by building museums and having cultural festivals to save it. But a language isn’t a painting or a book. It’s a living thing and you e【8】 use it or lose it.

If people stop using it in their d【9】 lives, a museum or a festival will not h【10】. It will be lost forever like the Yangtze River dolphin.

29、Many books have been written about "the art of giving". And we also know that it's hard to give people a gift， _____ a personal one. If we want to make it better, we should understand who you will give the gift to and their likes and dislikes.

As is often the case, some little kids think they don't get enough gifts _____ some old people think they get too many gifts. Different people like different kinds of gifts. Some presents are never too _____ . For example, when a little child just gives his or her mother a leaf from a tree, it is enough to make her very _____ .

Gift giving is different in different _____ . Here are some of them tikes. In Japan,  people sometimes give special gifts. But they are not opened. Later, the same gift may be given away to someone _____ ，because many people have enough things and don't want too many gifts themselves. In Canada, a tree can help remember a _____ . In the USA，some people ask their families and friends to give money to charity rather than buy them gifts. In Sweden, doing something for someone is the best gift. People don't need to _____ too much money. Instead, making a meal for him or her is enough.

To make things easier, some people would rather just give money. In some cultures，however, _____ money can make people uncomfortable. "When someone gives me money,  it just makes me think they're being lazy, " says John Wilson. In England, we have a saying, "It's the thought that ______ .When someone gives me money, I feel they don't think about it at all. I prefer to receive a gift that has some thought behind it."
