       Because of his health problems, it was difficult for him to draw diagrams (图表) or to write. So he started to think in pictures. With this new way of thinking, he became one of the most famous scientists in the world. In 1981, he met the Pope (教皇) in Rome. They talked about his ideas.

23、             

For many people in North America, the last week was the coldest of the year. To help some poor people keep warm, some kind people tied(系) scarves to trees in big cities for people in need.

“I AM NOT LOST!” read a note on a scarf tied to a tree in Wilmington, “If you need this to stay warm, please take it. It is yours. Be warm, and do something to help someone else today if you can.”

The member of a teenage soccer team put many of the scarves around Wilmington. They bought around 300 scarves for poor persons and left them on the Bloomsday runner statues(雕塑) in Riverfront Park with notes like the one above.

A group of villagers also left their scarves all over the cities. “The scarves get right to the people who want them,” said Wendy Grahl, one of the villagers, “If you’re poor and it’s 30 below, a scarf is going to be welcome.”

“I’ve seen a lot of bad things happen, but I’ve seen a lot of good people that care for others,” said Ed, a homeless man who took one of the team’s scarves.

Do your neighbors do anything similar for the less lucky persons during the cold winter? If so, try your best to take part in it.

【1】How was the weather last week in North America?

A．Windy.

B．Cool.

C．Cold.

D．Warm.

【2】According to the note, the writer may agree ________.

A．it’s good for people to help each other

C．it’s difficult for the poor to help others

D．it’s easy for the rich to help others

B．Some villagers.

C．Some rich persons.

D．Some poor persons.

【4】Which of the following is true?

A．A rich man can get the scarf in very cold weather.

24、When you finish some chores at home, will your parents give you a reward(奖励)? It is common for parents to do that. But some people do not think it is a good idea.

One of them is Susie Walton, an education expert. She believes if kids get rewards, they will think that housework is not worth doing unless they get something in return. Kids won’t sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will if their parents reward them for it. Walton also says, “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all should play our part in keeping our home clean.”

Other people don’t think so. They believe that rewards encourage kids to do more chores. Rewarding them also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn that they need to work to make money. Now, there are also mobile phone apps like ChoreMonster. With the app, kids get points after doing chores. After getting some points, they can do something they like. For example, parents will allow them to play video games for half an hour if they get 80 points.

So each side seems to have their own reasons. Whether you give children rewards depends on your own ideas. Maybe you have better ways to solve this problem.

【1】Which of the following is Susie Walton’s opinion?

A．Don’t ask kids to do housework.

B．Don’t give kids rewards for doing chores.

C．Don’t allow kids to play computer games.

D．Don’t let children play a part in doing chores.

【2】What do people want to teach kids by giving kids rewards for doing chores?

A．People need to work to make money.

B．Doing chores is a good way to make money.

C．They can only be allowed to watch TV by doing chores.

D．They must share housework because they live in the same house.

【3】Which idea may the writer agree with?

A．Parents should give rewards to let their kids do chores.

B．Kids should offer to help with chores at home.

C．Apps are better choices for parents than money.

D．We don’t know what’s the best way to get kids helping.

25、根据短文内容及所给提示，在文中的空白处填写一个正确的单词。

Recently, many people have begun 【1】 (try) a new way of shopping through the Internet. They are very 【2】 (interest) in it. Why is it 【3】 (become) more and more popular now? There are some reasons.
