21、Disney has made many cartoon movies. The princesses in the movies are often girl's favorite characters. From Snow White to Moana, every princess leaves a deep impression on people. However, have you noticed that Disney princess are changing?
In the early Disney cartoon movies, princesses like Snow White, Cinderella and Aurora from Sleeping Beauty are usually good-looking and kind-hearted. But they have to depend on others to get out of trouble and find happiness. They end up living happily with their princes.
Now, people still love those princesses, but more and more girls know they have to fight for their own happiness. Disney has noticed the change. So the princesses in its newer movies don’t just have good looks.
Merida from Brave is a good example. She was born as a princess and she likes going on adventures. She spends her days practicing archery(射箭术), riding her horse and experiencing the world around her. She loves her family, but she wants to take control of her own life.
Some times ago, Disney even put up their “10 new rules for being a modern princess”. The rules include: Care for others; Live healthily; Don’t judge a book by its cover; Be honest; Be a friend you can trust; Believe in yourself; Right wrongs; Try your best; Be loyal and Never give up.
None of the rulers are about the looks of a princess. Anyway, one’s beauty is more valuable. Don’t you think so?
【1】Snow White is a good-looking and kind-hearted girl.
【2】All Disney princesses can get out of difficulty and find happiness by themselves.
【3】The princesses in Disney’s newer movies just have good looks.
【4】Merida wants to take control of her own life.
【5】Disney has found it more valuable to have inner beauty than to just have good looks.

23、 Many people say dolphins are intelligent. They seem to be able to think, understand and learn things quickly. But are they as smart as humans, or are they more like cats and dogs? Dolphins use their brains quite differently from the way humans do. But scientists say dolphins and humans are very similar in some ways. How?
Like humans, every dolphin has its own “name”. The name is a special whistle(哨声). Each dolphin chooses a specific(特有的) whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. Dolphins are like people in other ways, too. They “talk” to each other about a lot of things—such as their age, their feelings, and finding food. They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. Understanding dolphin conversation is not easy for humans. No one “speaks dolphin” yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.
Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups called pods, and they often join others from different pods to play games and have fun—just like people. Scientists believe playing together is something only intelligent animals do.
Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: both species make plans for getting things they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an intelligent plan to get food. When there are fish near a boat, dolphins signal(发信号) to the fishermen to put their nets in the water. Using this method, the men can catch a lot of fish. Why do dolphins help the men? There is an advantage for them: they get to eat some of the fish that escape(逃脱) from the net.

A.It is a kind of game.
B.It is a body sign.
C.It is a dolphin's age.
D.It is a specific sound.
【2】Scientists believe ________ is something only intelligent animals do.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A.Some scientists can understand dolphins' system of sounds.
B.Dolphins probably help fishermen by using their body language.
C.Humans join dolphins' groups to get things we want.
D.Dolphins can talk to humans about their age and their feelings.
【4】What's the main idea of the passage?
A.Dolphins can communicate with each other at birth.
B.Dolphins are social animals because they play together.
C.Dolphins are smart and are like humans in some ways.
D.Dolphins help humans do many things like catching fish.
24、I work as a volunteer for an organization that helps the poor in Haiti. Recently I took my son Brian there for a week, hoping to educate (教育) him.
Before setting out, I told Brian this trip would be tiring and hard. For the first two days, he said almost nothing. Then, on the third day, as we were climbing over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and grinned (咧嘴笑), “Pretty hard.”
After that there was no turning back. A five-year-old girl, wearing a too large dress and broken shoes, followed Brian around. Later he said regretfully (遗憾地), “I wish I could speak French.” I was surprised that this was from a boy who always hated French classes.
However, the moment that really touched my heart occurred (发生) in a village deep in the mountains. I was interviewing a woman villager for an article. By working hard, she had learned to read and write, and became part of the leadership (领导层) of the village.
Learning her story, Brian was greatly touched. His eyes were wet and there was love and respect (尊敬) on his face. He finally understood the importance of my work. When leaving for home, Brian even offered to stay there as a volunteer. The trip was very meaningful.
