21、   When I was about 15, I had a chance to perform in a play. How excited I was! So were my parents.

A few days before the show, some of my friends decided to have a picnic at a nearby lake. It was still rather cold. Mother wanted me to stay home so that I might not catch a cold, but I really wanted to go there. After making me promise not to go swimming, she nodded.

But when the others went into the water I couldn’t stand being left behind. I put on my swimsuit, too, and went out in a boat. When at last I went back to shore (岸), some of the boys began to shake my boat for fun. Just as I was about to reach the shore, it went over. Trying to stay out of the water, I jumped to the shore. I made it-but I landed on a broken bottle. My heel was cut right to the bone.

I didn’t perform in the play, but had to lie in hospital. “But I kept my promise not to go swimming,” I said to Dad. “Mary, you got only half of what your mother said. What she really made you promise was to try not to catch a cold. Going swimming was only part of it. You let yourself hear only part of the truth.”

I made a final excuse, “All my friends thought it would be all right if I stayed in the boat.”

“And they were all wrong, weren’t they?” he said. “You’ll find the world is full of people who think they know better than you. Don’t shut your ears to them. Hear them out, but listen only for the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”

It was a painful lesson. But Dad’s advice has returned to me at many important moments in my life. Since that day I’ve never had a better piece of advice.

A.Mary couldn’t swim. B.Mary organized the trip.

C.Mary’s mother thought the lake was dangerous. D.Mary’s mother agreed with her request.

When people talk about smart work and hard work, they usually wonder which one is more important.In fact,   smart work is more important.But working smartly is very hard. This is not a wordplay.It is not easy to be smart.

What is "smartness"?

Take good care of our teeth

When people take your picture, they say: “Say cheese! Smile!” So you do—you open your mouth and show your teeth. Healthy teeth help you to look your best. Do you know how to take care of them?

Brush your teeth

Long ago, when people got older, their teeth would rot away. Rotting teeth give people toothache. To avoid a toothache, people pulled the bad tooth out. Finally they learned that cleaning their teeth was important. But they didn’t have toothpaste then. They tried things such as chalk and lemon juice.

About 100 years ago, someone finally made a paste to clean teeth. Not long after that, someone invented the toothpaste tube. That way people could put the paste right onto the toothbrush.

Tooth brushing became popular during World War II. The US Army gave brushes and toothpaste to all soldiers. They learned to brush twice a day.

Today there are all kinds of toothpastes. Toothpastes come in different colors and flavors. When you choose your toothpaste, make sure it has fluoride. Fluoride makes your teeth strong.

Use floss

Sometimes your teeth need deeper cleaning than brushing. That is when floss is helpful. You pull it between your teeth, and it reaches places where your toothbrush can’t go. Floss can pull out food that is between your teeth.

25、根据所给首字母填写单词，完成短文。

次北固山下（唐  王湾）

客路青山外，行舟绿水前。

潮平两岸阔，风正一帆悬。

海日生残夜，江春入旧年。

乡书何处达，归雁洛阳边。

Passing by the Northern Mountains

My boat goes by green mountains high, And passes through the river blue. The banks seem wide at the full tide; A sail with ease hangs in soft breeze. The sun brings light born of last night; New spring invades old year which fades. How can I send word to my friend? Homing wild geese, fly westward please!

People often say that spring is a s【1】 of hope and energy(活力).This poem by Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wan(693-751) d【2】 this hope and energy.

Wang lived during the most glorious(辉煌的) period of the Tang Dynasty. This poem is not only about spring and natural beauty, but a【3】 a metaphor(暗喻) the time he lived in.

The f【4】two lines tell us that the poet is t【5】 on a boat. The mountains are green and the river is blue. In the next two lines, the poet describes the open water and a hanging sail. The characters“阔” and “正”s  5  very broad and grand(宏大的)views, symbolizing the justness(公正)and social development of the dynasty.

Then the poet writes, a new sun is rising, wiping out(抹去)darkness, and the spring is c【6】 ,driving the winter away. These two lines are f【7】of hope. They also show the poet’s aspirations(抱负）as a young w【8】.

The poem ends with wild geese that are flying b【9】home after a long winter. Wang hopes the wild geese can send a message to his friends and family-he is looking f【10】to a bright future for himself and for the country.
