21、 While a four-sided fence that separates a pool from the house and backyard may not seem "pretty" child drownings are far uglier. Levi Hughes died at a home with three-sided fencing, which may have protected neighboring kids from entering the pool area but still allowed a child to slip out a back door and into the water. “I have to live the rest of my life with the guilt that I could have prevented him from dying,” says Nicole Hughes. “But this isn’t about our regret and heartache. Drowning doesn’t happen to the parents; it happens to the child. Levi will never trick-or-treat again and will never turn 4 years old.”
So fix a fence at least 4 feet high around all four sides of the pool. The fence should not have openings or protrusions that a young child can use to get over, under, or through it. Make sure that the gate leading to your pool is self-losing and self-opening, and that it opens out. Latches should be above a child’s reach, and the space between the bottom of the fence and the ground should be less than 4 inches.
If possible, keep the pool covered when it’s not in use. Cover your pool with a safety cover whenever you’re not using it, even during the swimming season. With an above-ground pool, move ladders and steps away when they’re not in use. Make sure the cover fits safely over the pool’s entire surface. Otherwise, a child may get under it and run into danger.
If you have a home swimming pool, ask your pool service workers to update your drains and other systems. Your pool should also have at least two drains for each pump, which will reduce the powerful attraction if one drain is obstructed.
【1】Why did the author mention a little child in the first paragraph?
A.To show the danger of a pool. B.To tell a sad story
C.To attract the owner of the pool D.To describe his bad behavior.
【2】Which part of the fence does the author talk about in paragraph 2?
A.Its requirements. B.Its roles C.Its quality. D.Its length
【3】What's the purpose of the methods listed in paragraph 3?
A.To protect a pool B.To decorate a pool.
C.To make a pool useful D.To keep a child off a pool.
【4】Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word “obstructed”?
A.Rebuilt. B.Changed. C.Stopped D.Repaired
22、So many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument ,a misunderstanding,the way we were raised,or some other painful events. Stubbornly,we wait for someone else to reach out to us — believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.
A friend of mine,recently told me that she hadn't spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn't speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out,she said,“ I can't do that. He’s the one who should apologize. ” After a little gentle encouragement,however,she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement,her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case,when someone takes the chance and reaches out,everyone wins.
Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn“ small stuff”问题)”into really“ big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go,and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn't mean that you're wrong. Everything will be fine. You'll experience the peace of letting go,as well as the joy of letting others be right.
You'11 also notice that,as you reach out and let others be “right”,they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But,if for some reason they don't, that's okay too. You '11 have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world,and certainly you'11 be more peaceful yourself.
【1】 The underlined word “ rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “ ”.
A. recover B. develop
C. accept D. replace
【2】In the author's opinion, we hold on to our anger often because we think .
A. we can turn small issues into big ones
B. our positions are higher than others
C. our own opinions matter most
D. others will be less defensive
【3】The best thing to do after a quarrel is to .
A. let go of our own rights
B. realize that you are wrong.
C. expect others to give in
D. apologize to others first.
【4】 What is the main idea of the passage?
A. People should keep peaceful when facing small stuff.
B. Reaching out and apologizing wins one peace and happiness.
C. We should tell apart small and big stuff in our daily life.
D. It's necessary to enjoy our friendship and family relationship.
23、Germany is the leader of the world’s waste-recycling race. The country has quite a detailed way of sorting their waste – down to the color of glass waste, the type of paper, the separate bin for metals, etc.
Here below are what you should know about Germany’s waste sorting system:
● You are expected to gather your waste in your apartment/housing area’s local public garbage bins.
● There are commonly several types of public garbage bins available in the German’s apartment/housing area:
● Blue bin –– for paper and cardboard
● Green and white bin –– for glass, different bins for differently colored glass, not available for holiday decorations and lights
● Yellow/orange bin –– for plastic and metals
● Brown bin –– for goods that can be changed naturally by bacteria into substances that don’t harm the environment, like leftovers, fruit and vegetables
● Gray/black bin –– for everything else that can’t be recycled such as used cat litter and animal waste
● Some items don’t belong in these public garbage bins. Items like used batteries, electronics, unused paints, and lights must be returned to the special agents/locations so they can be properly recycled. Other items such as clothes, shoes, and oversized rubbish and furniture are advised to be donated or sold.
● There’s this thing called Pfand in Germany, a certain part of the price for a bottled drink that you get back if you send back the bottle to certified shops. German law requires shops over a certain size selling bottled drinks have a Pfandruckgabestelle, or place for bottles with deposits. These bottles usually made of glass or plastic will be refilled. Of course, there’re strict health regulations.
