21、   In China, some parents do almost everything for their children these days. They look on their older children or sometimes even adults as babies! It is a very common problem in China, because most parents only have one child.

Some parents don’t let children do chores or go anywhere by themselves. As a result, their children can’t do anything by themselves and have to depend more on them.

In fact, no children really enjoy being looked after by their parents all the time. No parents would be happy to know that. As a result of too much care, their children don’t know anything about the world! Children need their own time to grow into adults and to learn how to deal with problems. Too much care spoils(破坏)their fun when they are growing up. And when suddenly they can’t depend on their parents, these children may be in great trouble.

It is nice that parents show their care to their children, it is nice that children know that their parents’ love is out of love, and it will be nicer if the children let their parents know how much love they really need, and how much love is too much.

23、   “If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”

That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.

All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.

There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!

Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show.

If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!

【1】By touching things __________.

A.you will have a strange feeling B.you will learn how to reach out your hand

C.you can learn more about them D.you can tell what colors they really are

【2】Which of the following can be the best title of the story?

A.Touching by Feeling B.To See Better — Feel

C.To See or to Feel D.Ways of Feeling

【3】Which of the following parts can tell you the difference between two coins in your pocket?

A.Your fingers. B.Your eyes. C.Your skin. D.Your back.

【4】What can’t your skin feel?

A.Sounds. B.Coins. C.Water. D.Darkness.

【5】Which of the following is NOT true?

A.Touching is helping us to see better.

B.Our skins may help us enjoy music.

C.Visitors can’t feel the things on show in any museums.

D.People don’t have to learn to feel.

24、I felt very sad because I was not able to get the ticket to the film Hero last Friday. I learned from the newspaper that tickets could be bought at the cinema box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 a. m. and 4:00 p. m. Since I work from 9:00 a. m. to 5:30 p. m. , the only time I could go to the cinema is during my 45 minutes’ lunchtime. It is a pity that the cinema is on the other side of the town and the bus service between my company and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes.

Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come round the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip, so I had to go back. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man said he had been waiting in line for over an hour. I found I would not have enough time to wait in line. I caught the next bus and went back across the town.

By Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I reached the cinema, I was delighted to see that nobody was waiting in line. But I quickly found out that it was because they had already sold out all the tickets.

【1】It seemed that the writer of the story works as a ____.

A．worker

B．doctor

C．farmer

D．clerk

【2】The writer tried to go to the cinema every day, but really got there ____.

A．five times

B．twice

C．four times

D．three times

【3】We can infer from the underlined sentence that the writer was ____.

A．worried

B．sorry

C．surprised

D．pleased

【4】In the end the writer got ____ ticket(s).

A．one

B．two

C．three

D．no

【5】When the writer reached the cinema, he was delighted because ____.

A．he understood his only hope was to make the trip by car

B．it was expensive, but he felt it would be worth it to see the film

C．he saw that nobody was waiting in line

D．the trip by car only took 10 minutes

25、综合填空

Whose job is it to check your homework?

I don’t think it’s my parents’ job to check my homework. Since we have already grown up, we cannot act like little 【1】 (baby) and depend on our parents all the time. We must learn to be 【2】 (independence).

I remember when I was in Grade Three, my parents 【3】 (ask) me to check my homework by myself. I didn’t know what to do at that time, so I only cried. But after that, I got used to 【4】 (check) my own homework in my studies.

Checking homework by ourselves is 【5】 good habit. It can help us find mistakes in exams more 【6】 (easy), it can also save the teachers a lot of time 【7】 they check our homework, and it can also let our parents worry 【8】 (little) about our studies.

Some day in the future, Mom and Dad 【9】 (leave) us. So we should start to learn to do everything by 【10】 (we) and really understand how important independence is.
