21、   Several days ago, a 28-year-old Californian wife and mother of three children died from drinking too much water.【1】The contest was held by a local radio show and its organizers promised a free Wii video game machine to the contestant who drank the most water.

It was estimated that the woman who died drank approximately two gallons of water during the contest.【2】This information is particularly important for parents to pass on to their children. Foolish water-drinking contests are not uncommon among high school and university students, especially while playing cards.

【3】The answer to this question depends on your unique circumstances, including your diet, exercise habits, and environment. If you eat plenty of foods that are naturally rich in water, such as vegetables and fruits, you may not need to drink very much water at all. If you do not use much salt, your need for drinking water goes down even further.

Regardless of what your diet looks like, if you sweat on a regular basis because of exercise or a warm climate, you will need to supply your body with more water (through foods and/or liquids) than someone who does not sweat regularly.【4】However, some people don’t believe that it is a reliable indicator of how much water you need, as many people suffer with symptoms related to dehydration (脱水) and don’t seem to feel a need to drink water on a regular basis.

The main idea that I wish to share through this article is that it is not wise to drink several glasses of water per day without considering your diet, exercise habits, climate, and sense of thirst.【5】Remember, don’t drink too much water in a short period of time.

A. Then why do we need water in our daily life?

B. It shows us that drinking too much water can be very dangerous.

C. Then how much water should you think to best support your health?

D. Ultimately, the best guidance I can provide on this issue is to follow your sense of thirst.

E. Her body was found in her home shortly after she took part in a water-drinking contest.

F. And when you find yourself in need of water, you can get it from liquids and/or foods.

G. If you ask people if they would like a glass of water, they will almost always realize they are indeed thirsty.

23、   One of the best parts of the school day is the time spent in the playground. It’s a chance to be with friends, run around and have fun. However, at the Rudyard Kipling Primary School in Brighton, things were getting too hard, so the teachers decided something had to be done. The school’s new rules, which restrict（限制）physical activities and encourage pupils only to touch if they are playing friendlier games, have attracted a lot of attention.

Most people say that they are a bad restriction. Parents of children at the school, in Brighton, East Sussex, talked about the bizarre rule —  saying their kids were now bored at playtime. A teacher for the school defended（辩护）the rules, saying, “We want to make sure the playground is a happy, safe and calm place where everyone can enjoy their lunchtime running around and getting the exercise that we know is important to them.”

Some people say that Rudyard Kipling Primary School’s decision is a good one because it makes the playground more fun for everyone. Not all children enjoy playing rough（剧烈的）games or sports at playtime. Friendlier games ensure everyone can join in. The teachers only have the pupils’ best interests at heart, so they should be trusted to make the right decision. Besides, if someone gets hurt in the playground, that   could distract（分心）the teachers from other accidents.

However, some people think it’s an overreaction. Sometimes physical games can lead to injuries, but banning（禁止）such activities is unreasonable. In fact, it is only during physical games that you can build up your ability to recover quickly from falling over. Even if these physical activities aren’t your favorite way to spend break time, it’s difficult to see why they will be completely banned. Each pupil should be able to decide what they want to do. Besides, schools should be happy that their students want to exercise between classes as this will keep them fit and healthy, and teachers should encourage this, not prevent it.

【1】What was the result of the tule made by the Rudyard Kipling Primary School?

A.It was made into law. B.It was supported by parents.

C.It encouraged students to do sports. D.It made the school widely discussed.

【2】What does the underlined word “bizarre” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.Simple. B.Strange.

C.Important. D.Reasonable.

【3】What is one reason why some people think the school made a wise decision?

A.It saves more lunchtime.

B.It helps students pay more attention to their study.

C.It brings more fun to every kid.

D.It makes students more independent.

【4】What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A.Physical games can injure kids.

B.Physical games are good for students health.

C.Teachers should do sports with students.

D.Restricting physical activities is unreasonable.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

A mother and a six year-old boy named Nelson were walking down the shopping mall the week before Christmas when he spotted a large holiday display in the center of the mall. And there in the middle of all of the tinsel, ribbon, and lights was Santa Claus, his elves (小精灵), and a cameraman ready to capture the joyous moment of the boy meeting Santa.

Nelson patiently waited his turn to meet Santa. Before he got to the front of the line, one of the elves whispered to him, “Now you make sure to have your list ready when you get there because Santa is a very busy man.” The little boy replied, “I know exactly what I want.”

Nelson's turn finally came and the little boy eagerly climbed up on Santa's knee. Santa asked Nelson if he had been good the past year, obeyed his parents, and done well in school. Nelson replied, “I have been very good this year, worked hard in school, and done everything my Mommy and Daddy have asked, even though it has been hard at times.”

Then it was time for Santa to ask the big question. “What do you want for Christmas?” Nelson quickly replied, “I want my Daddy to play ball with me, but Mommy tells me that it is not going to happen.” “Why not?” Santa asked. “Do your Dad and Mom live together?” Nelson, without batting an eye whispered, “They used to, but Daddy had to leave.” Santa remarked to Nelson, that maybe someday soon his Daddy would come home . Nelson quickly exclaimed, “Daddy did come home last week.” Santa, now puzzled, inquired, “Then why can't your Daddy play ball with you?” “Santa, you don't understand. My Daddy is a soldier, and he came home in a wooden box.”
