21、A steel bridge collapsed (倒塌) during evening rush hour. Dozens of cars fell down 60 feet into the Mississippi River. Ten people died, and more than 50 were seriously injured. The bridge was being repaired because it was found to be structurally deficient (结构缺陷), it needed to be repaired. Like many bridge throughout America, the bridge was built more than 40 years ago. Traffic was much lighter then. Nowadays, cars, buses, and big trucks cross the bridge every day, even late at night.

“I heard a terrific sound.” said Miss Turner. She ran out of her car to see what was happening. She saw cars falling into the river and heard people screaming. She heard the loud sounds of the bridge collapsing and sounds as the parts of the bridge and cars hit the water. “It was horrible,” she said.

Engineers had no explanation for the collapse. They said the bridge had been inspected recently. The report said that, although it was structurally deficient, the bridge was not unsafe. Since the report did not say that the ride was unsafe, he decision was to simply repair it at some locations.

Americans were shocked (震惊) that an American bridge could simply collapse. The news was all over TV, radio, and most newspapers. One newspaper survey showed that almost 10 percent (about 59,000) of America’s bridges were structurally deficient.

At first, some people thought that terrorists (恐怖分子) might have put a bomb (炸弹) into the bridge. One driver said that, before he drove over another bridge in America, he would make sure that a life jacket was in the front seat next to him.

22、When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. One of my father’s friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.

Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place. We’ d sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal.

Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we’d bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest.

Bernie was my father’s idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie’s wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.

What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don’t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.

For many years, I forgot that lesson I’d learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.

Well, I’ve relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That’s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.

【1】We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling ______.

A．relaxed

C．hungry

D．proud

【2】How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon?

B．They only ate its best part.

C．They ate every part of it.

D．They shared only one piece.

【3】In the eyes of the writer’s father, Bernie ______.

A．was just a rich businessman

B．worked hard all the time

C．lived a rich but healthy life

D．knew how to make money

【4】The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to ______.

A．the best part of the watermelon

B．the writer’s busy life

C．the writer’s decision of making money

23、These days, more and more students in the UK are taking a “gap year” between their graduation（毕业）from high school and their university（大学）studies. This means that they take a year off, to do something else, before they start their studies.

For most students, spending time in foreign countries is the favourite activity-and Australia is the favourite place to go.

Many parents, teachers and business people agree that travelling can teach important values（价值）. Just like the 20-year-old young man William said, “During the gap year, I learnt to solve different problems all by myself and began to realize the importance of getting along with people of different cultures.”

There are many companies around the world that welcome these students on their projects-helping people in poorer countries, or even in your home country. Although（尽管）you don’t get paid for your work, this kind of work can teach important skills-decision making and finding ways to problems, for example-that will help a student in a job one day.

Finally, the knowledge and experience you get will one day be very useful in an area you hope to study or work in.

If several university graduates（毕业生）are making applications for the same job, gap year work experience allows you to say, “I’ve already had some experience of this kind of work.” And that can help you get the job!

【1】More and more students in the UK are taking a “gap year” ________.

A．before they graduate from high school

【2】What is the favourite activity for most students in the UK?

A．Spending time in Australia.

B．Spending time in the UK.

C．Spending time with their teachers.

D．Spending time with their parents.

【3】What can’t students get in gap year work in the writer’s opinion?

A．Values.

B．Skills.

C．Experience.

D．Money.

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A．Work for the poor

B．Take a year off

C．Apply for a job

D．Travel
