22、A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep hole. When the other frogs saw how deep the hole was, they told the two frogs that they were hopeless to be alive. But the two frogs didn’t believe it. 【1】 . The other frogs kept telling them to stop and wait for their death. Finally, one of the two frogs gave up and fell down. Soon he died.

The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs shouted at him and told him to stop and just wait to die. 【2】 .

When he got out, the other frogs said: “Didn’t you hear us?” The frog explained to them that he was deaf. 【3】 .

The story teaches us two lessons. 【4】 . An encouraging word to someone who is down can cheer him up and help him make it through difficulties. Secondly, a destructive (消极的) word to someone who is down can make him give up and die. So be careful of what you say.

Speak life to those who cross your path. It is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way. It is great for a person to take the time to encourage another.

24、Do you know cows can climb onto the roof? Isn’t it fun? To eat grass, a Swiss farmer Dieter Mueller’s cow climbed up a roof to look for fresh grass.

Mueller said the cow was walking on a road behind the house. Then she thought the grass may be greener on the other side of it, but it didn’t walk around, it decided to climb over the house. In fact the grass was not greener on the other side.

25、

The balalaika, also called the "Russian guitar", is a traditional Russian musical instrument (乐器). It has a long neck, a wooden triangle-shaped body and strings（弦）. It is usually used to play Russian music by plucking the strings with fingers or a pick.

Russians like the balalaika. The music played with it can be cheerful, as if the farmers were dancing happily to celebrate their harvest. It can also be energetic, as if the workers were working hard to make their country richer and stronger. If a Russian moves to live or work abroad, he will probably take a balalaika with him. When he feels lonely and sad, he will play it to cheer himself up.

At first the balalaika was played by the poor in Russia. At that time, balalaikas were made by the players themselves. They were rough（粗糙的）,  simple and cheap with different numbers of strings, from two to even six. Later a Russian musician Vasily Vasil'yevich Andreev （1861-1918） improved the balalaika. He created a whole family of balalaikas of different sizes, all with three strings. The smallest balalaika is called Prima. It is 60-70 cm long. The biggest, Contrabass, is almost 2 metres high with a leg to sit on the floor. Andreev founded the first balalaika orchestra（管弦乐队）in the world, mainly using balalaikas to perform. He gave concerts at the Universal Exposition（博览会） in Paris in 1889, which was a great success.

Today, there are balalaika groups performing around the world. More and more people get to know the balalaika and are attracted by its Russian style music.

【1】The music played with a balalaika is usually          .

A．cheerful and energetic

B．strong and serious

C．soft and modern

D．slow and sad

【2】What's the author's purpose in writing about Andreev?

A．To show the success of balalaika concerts.

B．To tell the history of balalaika orchestras.

C．To share his experiences for playing the balalaika.

D．To introduce his actions of developing the balalaika.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A．The balalaika has a round shape.

B．The balalaika is liked by Russians.

C．The balalaika was played by the farmers in Russia.

D．The balalaika was founded by Andreev.

26、Ever since we became pen pals, Julien has sent me strange things. Once, she sent her sneeze in a jar.（“I have a cold, can you tell?” she wrote.） Then she sent her fingerprint.（“So you’ll recognize me in a crowd.”）

Julien sent me breakfast, all right: cornflakes. Soggy, milky, grainy, crumbly, limp cornflakes scraped from the bottom of her cereal bowl. I lost my appetite, but I read the letter.

“She’s mistaken,” I told my mom. “No one can send a sunset, not even Julien. It’s impossible.”

“I don’t know,” Mom said. “Julien might find a way. After all, she did send you her sneeze.”

A week later I checked the mail and found a box with air holes and the words “FRAGILE—THIS SIDE UP” printed in bold black letters on the top. It was from Julien.

I stroked the box with my fingers. It was perfectly dry. I smelled it. It didn’t smell. I held my breath and started opening the package. What if sunbeams spring out and hit me in the face like those fake snakes in a can? I thought.

My hands shook as I lifted the last flap and peeked inside. Where in the world was the sunset? All I could find was a letter and a twisty, gray, papery shell. It looked like a submarine. I read the letter.

I looked again at the gray shell. That’s no sunset, I thought. “You must mean the submarines at your house, Julien,” I said. Without reading the postscript, I laid the letter and the submarine on the kitchen table. Then I left the room to find a pen so that I could cross out “sunset” and write “submarine” above it.

When I returned, I stared in shock at the submarine. A creature was oozing out of it! Was it a sea monster? I looked closer. It was a winged creature... an insect... a butterfly. An orange, blue, purple, red, and gold butterfly. It looked like... a sunset!

While the sunset opened and closed its wings to dry them, I read Julien’s postscript. It said, “P. S. Next week I’m sending you Japan.”

【1】What does the underlined word“ oozing” probably mean?

A．Moving. B．Jumping.  

C．Swimming.   D．Flying.

【2】What did Julien really want Caitlin to see in the fourth mail?

A．The setting sun. B．Colors of a sunset.

C．A colorful butterfly.   D．A new submarine.

【3】We can learn from the passage that Julien was ________.

A．strange and clever   B. honest and friendly

C．creative and giving D. funny and inventive

【4】What can be inferred from the passage?

A．Caitlin was from Japan and had never seen Julien.

B．Caitlin’s mom thought Julien’s gifts were fantastic.

C．Caitlin was pleased with the cornflakes that Julien sent.

D．Caitlin was expecting another unusual gift from Julien.
