21、   The ostrich（鸵鸟）is the largest bird in the world. From far away, it looks more like a camel than a bird. It has a long neck, long legs and a walk like a camel. Its eyes are very large and sharp. Like the camel, the ostrich can go for a long time without water. It lives in sandy desert, too.

Its wings are too short for flying, but they do help the ostrich to run fast. The wind gets under the wings and lifts the bird off the ground. In this way, it can take very long steps. An ostrich can run faster than a horse.

Ostriches are big and strong, but sometimes they do not seem very smart.

When they are afraid, they run around in circles.

Ostrich eggs are large. The shells are very strong. They are so strong that they can be used for cups and bowls.

24、“Homestay” is a form of study abroad program. It allows the visitor to rent a room from a local (当地的) family to better understand the local lifestyle. It also helps to improve the visitor’s language ability, ” said a teacher during a school meeting last term. “Students who wish to learn more about foreign cultures or to get foreign experience should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you won’t be disappointed (失望的). ”

After this special meeting, I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month, I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London, a place where I had wanted to go since years ago.

As we were still young, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family (寄宿家庭) was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them, too.

The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sight-seeing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben, the London Bridge, and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities.

The holiday was a valuable experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet, time really flew fast. Three weeks later, we had to leave “home” for Hong Kong.

【1】In the “homestay” program, a visitor can .

A. learn more about holidays

C. stay with different families

D. rent rooms to the students

【4】The writer’s host family .

A. was very kind to her

B. went sight-seeing with her

C. had two white daughters

D. was interested in her activities

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。

Internet is educational. Many  people  think  children  should be allowed to surf the Internet as they wish. 【1】 this way, they can look through different subjects on different kinds of websites according to their own interest. But in my opinion, children should always be watched while 【2】 (surf) the Internet.

Many websites have i【3】 and pictures that children should not see. There are many things that children don't understand. All of  these may have some bad influence on 【4】 (child)  development.

Also, it is 【5】(danger) to let children use chat rooms by【6】(them). Many parents tell their children not to talk to 【7】(stranger) on the street, so they should be careful  on the Internet, too. What's more,  sitting in  front of a computer  for a  long  time isn't good f【8】 children's  eyes, so parents should monitor(监视) the time that children s【9】 on the Internet.

In a word, children should be kept away anything that could be bad for them. I 【10】(strong) believe that it is necessary for parents to watch their children when they use Internet.
