21、Dear Nancy,
Friendship is important in a person’s life. Now I want to tell you some of my ideas about it.
Today I met with a girl named Lily. She told me her experience(经历). Some years ago, she broke her best friend Bob’s heart in a basketball game. She wasn’t happy and didn’t know what to do to get Bob back. From then on, Lily never had true friendship.
This is not only Lily’s problem. We all may meet this kind of problems in our life. Almost all the people have friends but only a few of them can get true friendship. That’s because they think what their friends do is what they should do. And they won’t care about it before losing it.
How can we get true friendship? It takes much time and also needs love. If you spend much time doing good to your friends, they can feel it and love you, too. When there are problems, what we should do is to face them but not to ignore(忽视) them. Try to find a way to do with them.
I also hope(希望) you can have true friendship in your life. I’m sure you’ll be much happier.
Yours,
Gina

22、Takeout boxes, used masks, fish bones, autumn leaves ... Do you know which trash bin (垃圾桶) each of these goes in? To help solve this problem, three students from Xi’an Aerospace City No. 1 High School made a smart trash bin that uses voice recognition (识别). The trash bin can even understand different Chinese local languages.
“We find it’s difficult to find the right trash bin for our daily life and we know that many people face the same problem. That’s why we want to give a hand.” said Zhang Zehua, 17, the team leader.
Starting last April, the three students built a garbage-sorting database (垃圾分类数据库) and made a sorting system for their smart bin. They learned how to use less energy and allow the bin to work for a longer time at a lower temperature
Team member Zhang Zhenjie, 16, had a difficult task to complete. He needed to collect data (搜集数据). While talking with his classmates, he found that people had several different ways to describe the same piece of garbage. So he made some change of the voice recognition system (语音识别系统) and greatly increased its accuracy(准确性). He also counted how much garbage a family makes daily. This helped him choose the right size for the bin.
The three teenagers are getting a patent (专利) for their design and looking for producers (制作商). They will continue to improve the trash bin and introduce it to more communities in the future. Maybe more families will use their smart bins in the future.
【1】The writer started the passage by ________.
A.telling stories
B.giving suggestions
C.giving examples
D.expressing opinions
【2】The smart trash bin can do the following things EXCEPT _________.
A.helping solve garbage-sorting
B.recognizing people’s voice
C.speaking several languages
D.understanding Chinese local languages
【3】Why did the three students make the smart trash bin?
A.Because our daily life has fewer smart trash bins.
B.Because it’s hard to find the right trash bin.
C.Because many people don’t know garbage-sorting.
D.Because they mainly learn garbage-sorting at school.
【4】What do Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.Why it is difficult to collect data.
B.What the school did to support the three students.
C.What the advantage of the new smart trash bins is.
D.How these three students designed this smart trash bin.
【5】What does the writer think of the smart trash bin?
A.Useless.
B.Hopeful.
C.Unbelievable.
D.Important.
