24、Many Chinese people will wonder what presents to get for their moms on Mother’s Day, but not many know Mother’s Day is actually a festival from overseas.
Mother’s Day originated in America during the early 20th century. The festival spread to China as early as the 1980s and was widely accepted.
Why did a foreign festival become popular in China? In fact, Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged filial devotion to parents. There are many stories which show filial respect in ancient China. For example, the story of “Taste Liquid Medicine for Mother” tells us the filial virtue of Emperor Wen of the Western Han dynasty. His mother had been sick for three years. He often stayed up by her bedside and cared for her day and night. He tasted the liquid medicine first before she drank it. Also, mother love is a repeated subject in Chinese ancient poems like “Song of the Parting Son” by Meng Jiao, a poet of the Tang dynasty. Now this poem is still a must in the school textbooks. Children in China are brought up with the education of filial devotion.
On special days, people often use roses or forget-me-nots to express love. Carnations are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world, but few know that China has its own for mothers—the tiger lily.
Love for mothers can have different ways of expression. What matters most is love, not the festival itself. What mothers truly want is perhaps just a simple expression of love from their children.

25、 Jane Eyre(简爱)tells the story of a good and independent woman, who does not depend on others and does not give up even facing many difficulties. Jane is poor and an orphan(孤儿)and is treated badly by her rich aunt and cousins. She is sent away to a school where the pupils are treated very badly. Jane remains strong, because she knows she is good. And when she had the chance to run away, she does. Jane takes a job in the house of a rich man called Mr Rochester.
Jane falls in love with Mr Rochester who is twenty years older than her. Jane is sad when Rochester brings a beautiful woman Blanche to his house. Jane thinks Rochester will marry Blanche. So she decides to leave. Rochester asks her to stay but she will not. She tells him she loves him and says that she is poor and not beautiful, but it does not mean that she has no feelings. She speaks to Rochester as a ‘spiritual equal’.
Rochester asks Jane to marry him and she agrees, but on the day of the wedding she finds out that Rochester is already married. Jane decides to leave and even though Rochester says his wife is mad and begs Jane to stay, she cannot. Jane will not stay with a man who is already married. She has no family to protect her and no money, but she is proud and she wants to do the right thing.
When Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte was first published, it was called an autobiography(自传). In Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte, like Charles Dickens, shows the double-standards in Victorian Britain. The poor and especially orphans were not given any protection by the law, they were seen as animals not humans. The rich lived a life of luxury(奢侈) and by giving a little money to charity they thought they had done their best.

26、When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? If you were like most children, you probably let your imagination run wild. Maybe you dreamed of flying into space. Then perhaps over years, your dreams became more realistic (现实的). Or you might have given up dreams.
If that’s true, then there is a day for you. January 13th is Make Your Dreams Come True Day. If you’ve been putting off reaching your dreams, this is the day to make a fresh start.
It’s important to have dreams because dreams can really give us the energy to succeed in life. Dreams encourage us. They might take a few years even a lifetime to achieve. The important thing is that you’re always working toward your dream. And the best way to do that is to set goals (树立目标).
What is the difference between a dream and a goal? It’s been said that dreams are the final destination and that goals are the stops along the way.
Dreams can be very common. But the steps you take to reach them should be very specific (具体的). Your dreams show what you want, but goals explain how you’ll get there. That makes goal setting a necessary step in reaching your dreams.
Many successful people have spoken about dreams. Former (前任的) US Secretary of State Colin Powell explained the importance of working for the dreams. “A dream doesn’t become reality (现实) through magic; it takes decisions and hard work.” Writer Les Brown reminded us that dreams have no age limit (界限). “You are never too old to set another goal or to have a new dream.”
If you’ve been dreaming about doing something for years, start now. Write down your dreams, set up your goals. Then you’ll be on your way to making your dreams come true.
【1】What is the best way to work toward your dream?
A.Setting goals.
B.Dreaming dreams.
C.Changing plans.
D.Remembering dreams.
【2】The underlined word “destination” in the passage means “________”.
A.the stop on the way to some place
B.the final goal which someone reaches
C.the way by which we go to somewhere
D.the person who has reached his/her dream
【3】According to Paragraph 6, Colin Powell agrees that ________.
A.everyone can have a dream
B.a dream takes no decision or hard work
C.a dream lets your imagination run wild
D.a dream doesn't come true through magic
【4】Why does the writer write this passage?
A.To talk about some famous people.
B.To show us his important dreams.
C.To encourage us to reach our dreams.
D.To encourage us to set up goals.
27、Traveling to every part of the world gets easier, but how well do we know and understand each other. Here’s a simple test. Imagine you are planning to hold a meeting at four o’clock. What time should you expect your foreign business friends to arrive? If they are Germans, they’ll arrive on time. If they are Americans, they’ll probably be 15 minutes early. If they are Englishmen, they’ll be 15 minutes late, and you should allow up to an hour for the Italians.
The British seemed to think since the English language was widely used in the world, people would always understand what they do. However, they found they were completely wrong. For example, the British are happy to have a business lunch and discuss business matters and have a drink during the meal. The Japanese prefer not to work while eating. Lunch is a time for them to relax and get to know each other and they don’t drink at lunchtime. The Germans like to talk business before dinner. The French like to eat first and talk afterwards. They have to be well fed and watered before they discuss anything.

meeting, who will be the last to arrive?

28、Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories, destroying fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged that their o【1】 had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs. One person was killed, several were badly hurt and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were h【2】after the storm. They didn’t know where to go.
A farmer, Bob, said that the storm b【3】 early in the morning and lasted for over an hour.
“I was eating with my wife and children,” he said, “When we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house f【4】 down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him, s【5】but very frightened.” Bob continued, “My boy cried out immediately when he saw me. I wanted to give him a hand It that time, but failed. We both tried and finally he managed to find his way out.”
Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just l【6】 for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children. “There was no time to take a【7】,” she said, “A few minutes later, the roof came down.”
Rescue workers helped to take people out of the flooded area and the welfare department brought them food, clothes and shelter.
