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.

22、   Barbara was driving her six-year-old son, Ben, to his piano lesson. They were late, and Barbara was beginning to think she should have called it off. Barbara, a nurse at the local hospital, was very tired at that moment. The coldest season and the terrible weather just brought them more difficulties.

"Mum!" Ben cried suddenly. "Look!" Just ahead, a car had lost control on the icy road and crashed (猛撞) into a telephone pole. Barbara stopped her car quickly and opened the door. She said to Ben, "Dear, promise me you'll stay in the car!" "I will, Mum," Ben said as his mum ran. She was a nurse—she might be able to help the unlucky people.

It was terrible. Two girls aged about 18 were in the car. One was dead and the other was still breathing. Barbara quickly cleaned the wounds in the driver's head.

24、Does your school have charity sales? Our school had one a few days ago. Students brought many things for the sale. There were novels, magazines, toys, cartoon posters and beautiful candles. Most things were almost brand-new. Many students and teachers bought things at the sale. Wu Zhongyue, a Grade 8 student, found that novels for kids were much cheaper. Four copies written by Zheng Yuanjie cost her 10 yuan. Pan Liqi spent 20 yuan on posters and hoped the money would go to poor kids. At last the sale raised about 6,000 yuan.

The purpose of the sale is to help the children in Africa. Every day hundreds of them die because they have diseases or don’t have enough to eat. First, there is no work for the children’s parents, so they have no money to buy food or medicine. Second, the governments in many African countries are too poor to care for the poor. The land and the weather are bad for farming. There are many organizations trying to help these poor people. The organization we are trying to help, the Feed Africa Fund, spends millions of dollars every year on food for poor people in Africa. This money comes from people like you—kind, generous people who do not want to see children die from hunger.

【1】At the sale, Wu Zhongyue bought ________.

A．toys

B．magazines

C．novels

D．cartoon posters

【2】How much did the charity sale collect in all?

A．10 yuan.

B．20 yuan.

C．About 6,000 yuan.

D．Millions of dollars.

【3】The underlined word “brand-new” in the passage means “_________”.

A．全新的

B．半新的

C．新品牌

D．破旧的

【4】What do the African children need most according to the passage?

C．Medicine and books.

D．Food and toys.

【5】The money we raised at the sale will go to ________.

A．the Red Cross

B．the Project Hope
