23、In May 1804, Lewis and Clark led the Corps of Discovery to begin the journey on the Missouri River. Lewis’ main job was to lead the men on the ship. And anyway, he needed to make maps of the geography of the unknown land. As for Clark, he usually studied plants and animals along the way.
As the trip continued, one of their men became ill and died. They also had to do their best to find food and stay healthy during the winter months.
Sacagawea, a Native American, joined the Corps of Discovery in the winter of 1804. What she knew about Native American culture and her ability to speak different Native American languages made the journey much easier. Thanks to her, trade with Native Americans began.
Lewis and Clark reached the Pacific Ocean after traveling through several rivers, including the Clearwater River, Snake River and Columbia River. However, they did not find one direct (直接的) waterway that could lead boats straight to the Pacific from the Mississippi. Still, the journey was a big success.
Their journey lasted for two years and four months. During the journey, they found the Rocky Mountains. They learned about over two hundred plants and animals that were new to the Americans. Lewis and his men drew about 140 of the first maps of most of the Western United States.
【1】What was Clark’s main job during the journey?

24、Manners at table
The customs(习惯)in different countries are rather different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host(主人), he will put more food onto my plate as soon as I have emptied it. That often discomforts(使不安)me greatly. I have to eat the food even if I do not want to, because it is considered(认为)bad manners in the West to leave one’s food on the plate. I have also noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American’s dinner party, he often refuses the offer of food or drink though he’s in fact still hungry or thirsty. This might be good manners in China but it is not in the West at all. In the United States, it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again until he accepts your offer.
Americans have a direct way of speaking. If they want something, they will ask for it. If not, they will say, “No, thanks.” When an American is served with beer(啤酒)by the host, for example, he might say, “No, thanks. I’ll take some juice(果汁)if you have.” That is what an American will do. So when you go to the United States to deal with us, you’d better remember the famous saying: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
【1】From this passage we can see that the writer is ________.
A.a Chinese
B.a Roman
C.an American
D.a European
【2】When a Chinese host kept putting more food onto the writer’s plate, the writer felt ________.
A.happy
B.sad
C.angry
D.uneasy
【3】In America, people consider it bad manners ________.
A.to refuse an offer
B.to ask for something directly
C.to eat much at a dinner party
D.to keep asking someone to accept something
【4】A guest at an American’s dinner party should show his politeness by ________.
A.not eating up all the food offered
B.asking for more food onto his plate as soon as he emptied it
C.refusing the offer of food or drink though he is still hungry or thirsty
D.asking for things directly if he wants them
【5】“When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” means “________.”
A.the Romans are people of good manners
B.Americans always do the same things as the Romans do
C.you should do things like Romans do
D.you should get used to the local customs where you go
25、 At eightysix, my grandpa was still a gardener. So I can always see the earliest flowers 1.i【1】 spring in his garden. I was especially interested in 【2】(flower)then because I was planning to plant flowers in my own yard and I needed his advice.
When the 【3】 (one) peach flowers came out last spring, grandpa had a serious stroke(中风).Each time I was with him, I 4.【4】 (give)him a garden report. He listened to carefully, 【5】 could not answer my questions. I 【6】 (sudden)realized that the best gift I could give grandpa would be to continue planting flowers in 【7】(he) garden. He never spoke of this, but flowers were 【8】 important part in his life.
It was the end of spring when grandpa died. I picked up the 【9】(pretty) flowers and brought them to the funeral(葬礼). I felt grandpa would like that. Each flower was a comfort to me, a l【10】 sent to grandpa, and a promise of spring.
