22、Maybe nothing tastes as delicious and refreshing (凉爽的) as a cold, juicy, round watermelon on a hot summer day. No wonder this healthy fruit has been enjoyed by humans for thousands of years. But how about trying square watermelons instead of round ones? Sounds fascinating, doesn’t it?
If you have been paying attention to all the exciting news lately, then surely you have seen all the wonderful shapes that watermelons come in these days. There are watermelons that look like Egyptian pyramids, there are special heart shaped watermelons for Valentine’s Day and of course, there are all kinds of round shapes. But did you know that it all started with square watermelons?
Recently, farmers in the southern Japanese town have discovered a technique to grow their watermelons in a square shape. The reason why they’re doing this in Japan is that there is not enough space in refrigerators. They are trying to make watermelons “refrigerator-friendly”.
A round watermelon can take up a lot of room in a refrigerator, and the usual round fruit often sits awkwardly (笨拙地) on refrigerator shelves. Smart Japanese farmers have forced their watermelons to grow into a square shape by putting the watermelon into square, glass cases while the fruit is still growing on the vine (藤). The new kind of square watermelons are so easy to store. You can just stack them up, which means more of them will fit in a container. This save a lot of space and also money on shipping. Also, people can now fit them better in their tiny refrigerators at home and can start buying bigger watermelons.
But these square watermelons come with a high price. Regular watermelons in Japan cost from $15 to $25 each, while each square watermelon costs about $82. Being quite expensive, these watermelons will certainly not be bought by the general public. Maybe people will give them as gifts! But it is also said that there does appear to be a growing U.S. market for watermelons that are more refrigerator-friendly. The industry is seeking for opinions from consumers who do mind size.

A.refrigerator

C.shelf
D.room
【5】The square watermelons enable people to _________ .
A.enjoy a sweeter flavor
B.enjoy more juicy fruit

23、I moved here three years ago, and because of my business, I needed to fly both to Taiwan and the United States often. When I travelled alone, I felt lonely because I couldn’t speak English well. I made a decision that I had to learn English and study very hard.
I like to be in Rita Colina’s class at the Chinese Community Centre in Houston. I have many chances to speak and talk to others. Before I came to the class, I always walked away when I met any foreigner. I know that pronunciation, grammar and conversation are very important for me, so I came to this class. It’s completely different now. I try to communicate with Americans in English by myself. It’s really great for a person like me to live here. Now I like to talk to foreigners. I like to go to American supermarkets, Starbuck’s coffee shops and the post office. I can drive anywhere I like to go because I know the road signs. Not only the skill of life becomes more flexible(灵活的), but also I really like to live here.
I learn English in four ways: First of all, I listen to what the teacher teaches in class. Then I keep speaking during the class. Second, I do my homework right away when I get home. I memorize at least five vocabulary words every day. Thirdly, I listen to American radio stations, and I watch the news channels and other American programmes with my family every day. I ask them whatever I don’ t know. Finally, I go to American stores as often as possible, so I will have more chances to learn more new words, and find any chance to talk to Americans in English.
Anyway, the most important thing is not to be afraid to open your mouth. It doesn’t matter even though you speak incorrectly. It’s a good start. I’m very grateful for the teaching and encouragement from Ms Colina. That is the key to the door of learning English for me.
【1】The writer flew both to Taiwan and the United States ________.
A.as a teacher
B.on business
C.as a language learner
D.on vacation
【2】The writer felt lonely when she travelled alone because ________.
A.she was not very good at English
B.she couldn’t speak Chinese well
C.she missed her parents very much
D.she knew nobody on the plane
【3】The writer ________ before coming to Rita Colina’s class.
A.used to talk to foreigners
B.could drive anywhere she wanted to go
C.would not like to meet any foreigner
D.practised English in supermarkets, coffee shops and the post office
【4】The underlined word “grateful” in the last paragraph means “________”.
A.beautiful
B.careful
C.successful
D.thankful
【5】The passage is mainly about ________.
A.how the writer moved to America
B.the writer’s story in learning English
C.something about Rita Colina’s class
D.Ms Colina’s ways of teaching English
24、 A poor farmer had a friend who was famous for the wonderful apples he grew.
One day, his friend gave the farmer a young apple tree and told him to take it home and plant it. The farmer was pleased with the gift, but when he got home, he did not know where to plant it.
He was afraid that if he planted the tree near the road, strangers would steal the fruit. If he planted the tree in one of his fields, his neighbors would come at night and steal some of the apples. If he planted the tree near his house, his children would take the fruit.
Finally he planted the tree in his woods(树林) where no one could see it. But without sunlight and good soil, the tree soon died.
Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a poor place. “What's the difference?” the farmer said angrily. “If I had planted the tree near the road, strangers would have stolen the fruit. If I had planted the tree in one of my fields, my neighbors would have come at night and stolen some of the apples. If I had planted it near my house, my own children would have taken the fruit.”
“Yes,” said the friend, “but at least someone could have enjoyed the fruit. Now you not only have robbed(抢夺) everyone of the fruit, but also you have destroyed(摧毁) a good apple tree!”
【1】The farmer's friend gave him________ one day.
A.an apple B.some apples
C.a young tree D.some young trees
【2】Why didn't the farmer want to plant the tree in his field?
