24、Many people begin to use pencils from an early age. There are many kinds of pencils: some have erasers on top; some are colorful. You may have used many kinds of them for many years, but do you know the history of pencils?
Many years ago, people in Egypt used lead (铅) to write. Now pencils are made from graphite (石墨) instead of lead. In 1564, people found that graphite could leave black marks. At first, people used it to make marks on their sheep. Later they used the graphite to write. They thought it was lead. Graphite left a blacker mark than lead, but it was not strong enough so it needed something to hold it.
In 1565, Conrad Gesner first put graphite into something to hold it. Later, in the 1600s, German people mixed graphite with some other things and used them for writing. Later, France couldn’t get pencils from both the English and the Germans, so Nicholas Jacques Conte began to make pencils. In France, there was little graphite, so he mixed graphite with clay (粘土).
In 1812, William Munroe made the first American wood pencils. Later, a man put a small eraser on top of a pencil. A new kind of pencil was born.

26、 From deserts(沙漠)and beaches to playgrounds, we can find sand everywhere. But you might not know that sand is also useful.
"Sand is the second most-used things in the world after water," the BBC reported. However, the UN said we might be running out of it.
Sand is made up of very small pieces of rock , soil and minerals(矿物质). It can take tens of thousands of years to form(形成). But now we are using sand more quickly than it is being formed. According to the BBC, we use about 15 billion tons of sand every year to build houses, roads and other things. That 's enough to build a 20-meter-high and 20-meter-wide wall around the equator(赤道)every year.
People also put sand in the sea to make new islands. Singapore, for example, is now 20 percent bigger than it was in 1965. Palm islands are three large man-made islands in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. They took 94 million cubic meters of sand to build.
"If people keep using so much sand, it will run out in many places. For example , Vietnam may run out of construction(建造)sand by 2020", Live Science noted.
Since people need so much sand, they are trying to mine(开采)more of it. But this is bad for the environment. Mining sand may cause beaches to disappear and more floods to happen in places close to the sea. Also ,this may affect the habitats(栖息地)of many plants and animals.
【1】From the story , we know sand___.
A.can only be found on beaches B.is the most-used things in the world
C.can never be used up D.can be used to build houses
【2】How is Singapore becoming bigger?
A.People build more houses in Singapore.
B.People build more roads in Singapore.
C.People put sand in the sea to make new islands.
D.People try to mine more sand.
【3】How many tons of sand do we use every year?
A.About 9 ,400 ,000. B.About 2 ,000 ,000 ,000.
C.About 2 ,000 ,000. D.About 15 ,000 ,000 ,000.
【4】What is the reason more floods will happen in places close to the sea?
A.Over mining of sand. B.The weather there.
C..The increasing size of certain islands. D.The death of some plants.
【5】What does the writer want to tell us?
A.The UN said," Sand is the second most-used things in the world after water.
B.We shouldn't over mine sand.
C.People took 94 million cubic meters of sand to build Singapore.
D.Sand is not being formed so quickly as we are using it.
27、 Looking through a magazine in a waiting room recently, I came across an article with the title "My top five most precious possessions(财产)". It was just a few lines of text with pictures, but it caught my imagination.
It's interesting how inanimate (无生命的) objects can take on such significance and become woven (编织) into a person's, and sometimes a whole family's, life history.
Anyway, the article had me considering what my most precious possessions are. It was difficult to choose only five, but here are mine:
An old cardboard box filled with my children's baby photos.
A yellow pocket-sized birthday book of special things (poems, pictures of flowers and trees, etc) given to me by my dad when I was probably about seven or eight years old.
A 21st birthday card from my mum. In it she's written her congratulations, her love, and her hopes for my future. She died not long after, when I was in my early twenties.
A few ancient but very beautiful botany books that were once my great grandmother's. She was a botanist in a time when it was relatively unusual for women to be qualified in this field and I think she was probably a remarkable and very interesting woman. I'd like to have known her.
A brooch (胸针) left to me by my much-loved grandmother. It is not worth anything in terms of money. However, it not only stands for a link between four generations of women, but it is also a reminder of one young man's return from World War I.
How about you? I'd love to hear what you feel are your most precious possessions.
【1】What made the writer have the idea of writing the passage?
A.Her love for her relatives.
B.Her rich imagination about the objects.

D.studied botany well when she was young
【3】The writer considered her great grandmother remarkable and interesting because she ________.
A.wrote a large number of botany books
B.left the writer some ancient but beautiful botany books
C.was unusually famous for her achievements
D.could become a botanist in the special time
【4】In the writer’s opinion, something that is thought to be the most precious should be able to ________.
A.change a person's and even the whole family's life
B.have a great effect on one person's life
C.remind somebody of his or her close relatives
D.show a person's love and respect for his or her relatives
