21、An old man died and left his son a lot of money. But the son was a foolish young man, and he quickly spent all the money, so that soon he had nothing left. Of course, when that happened, all his friends left him. When he was quite poor and alone, he went to see Mr. Smith, who was a kind, clever old man and often helped people when they had troubles.

"My money has finished and my friends have gone,” said the young man. "What will happen to me now?"

"Don't worry, young man,” answered Mr. smith,.” Everything will soon be all right again. Wait, and you will soon feel much happier."

22、   In our culture, the ability to make one's own decisions is important. John F. Kennedy's quote(引语) “Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.” shows an unpleasant truth.

Much of what we know and believe has been taught to us by others, and we often accept this information without spending much time thinking it over for ourselves.

In today's world, we are being presented with information, ideas and beliefs, but many of them are against each other. Psychology(心理学) tells us that if we hear an idea enough times, or if it comes from someone we respect, we will probably  believe that idea. In these cases, we base our opinions on the opinions of others. If each of us does not think about this information for ourselves and come to our own conclusions, we will become nothing more than parrots(鹦鹉) quoting the opinions of others.

Examples of spreading fake news without thought can be seen on the Internet. Some people believe whatever they read and then share the story without thinking about the facts. All it takes is one quick click(点击) of the “share” button, and the story travels on its way to influence even more unthinking readers. This can cause serious problems.

If we just stop for a moment to think about what we read and hear, and form our own opinions, we will be more thoughtful, more independent, and more creative people, but few take that time. Yet we need not lose heart over this bad habit. In fact, simply becoming aware(意识到) of it is the first step towards correcting it. Once we become aware that we tend(趋向) to hold opinions and beliefs without thinking them through, we can change that pattern of behavior. Hopefully, we can learn to experience and enjoy the “discomfort of thought” and form our own opinions.

【1】People will probably believe an idea when_____.

A.it comes from someone they respect B.they hear it a few times

C.it is really a truth D.it is popular with most people

【2】The underlined word “fake” in the passage probably means “________”.

A.untrue B.unhappy C.unfair D.unusual

【3】How can we have our own opinions according to the passage?

A.By spreading the information we receive. B.By learning more about psychology.

C.By quoting others' opinions like parrots. D.By thinking about what we read and hear.

【4】We can probably find this passage in a book about ________.

A.history B.education C.sports D.languages

【5】What's the purpose of this passage?

A.To describe how Internet news spreads.

B.To explain why people don't have their own opinions.

C.To tell people that they should have their own thoughts.

D.To warn people not to believe other people's ideas.

24、Miss Dinsmore lived 【1】 (单独地) in a little gray house. “It's a nice little house,” she said. “But I wish it looked more cheerful. Maybe I should paint it a 【2】(明亮的), pretty color.” So she went to a   paint store. She saw lots of cheerful colors there, but she didn't know which color to choose.

【3】(突然) she got an idea. “I'll paint picture after picture of my house with all these colorful colors. Then I'll choose the one I like best.” Miss Dinsmore bought all the colors home. She painted a pink house. She painted a blue one. She painted a red one and a yellow one. She painted one with flower boxes under the windows and she 【4】(继续) painting again and again...
