24、As a Chinese saying goes,“Every grain comes from hard work”. Food is necessary for offering energy to our bodies, but sometimes we buy too much of it at the store.

Before throwing away old bananas, you can use the peels to shine up metals and leathers. Press the peel against the surface, move it backwards and forwards and then polish it with an old cloth. Banana meal is also good for reducing wrinkles. Put a bit on those trouble spots, let it sit for a while, and then wash it off, and your wrinkles will go away. Lemons are great for lightening skin and hair. If you have trouble with some skin diseases, like red spots on your face, put a bit of fresh lemon juice on them and leave it overnight. You will notice a difference in the morning. Apples will help ripen (使成熟)tomatoes quickly when they are placed together in a paper bag, and orange peels are great fire starters for your next backyard campfire party.

If your dog or cat brings home fleas (跳蚤), just pour some salt into the vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器), let it sit and then vacuum up the fleas. The salt can kill the fleas. Be sure to throw away the vacuum bag or empty the vacuum bin immediately, or some of the fleas can climb out.

Beer is a great hair lightener. If you are out of lemons, try dipping your hair in beer before going outside. Just don’t forget to wash it out afterwards. Milk is great for removing dirty marks.

As you can see, there are many other uses for everyday foods around the house. So next time, before throwing food away, stop for a moment and think about all their uses.

A．tell us the main idea of the passage

27、One of the most famous movie prizes in the world is the Oscar. Every year in the United States, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science (电影艺术科学院) gives Oscars to people who have done well in the movies. There is an Oscar for the best movie of the year, another for the best actor, and Oscars for doing many other things well in movies.

Oscars are very important because people want to see movies that have won them. They also want to see actors who have won Oscars. This means movies that have won Oscars make a lot of money.

Maybe in a few years’ time, people will go into the travel agents and book a ticket into space. Then we interview some teenagers from all over the world and this is what they say.

“There are so many beautiful and interesting places to see on earth, I’d much rather visit these places f【1】 before spending lots of money to go into space.”(Simon from England)

“I would very much like to go into space for a holiday. I think it should be c【2】 enough for everyone to go, not just the rich and famous.”(Maria from Spain)

“I love cooking at the planets and the stars. Sometimes there is too much pollution or too many clouds so I can’t see anything. There are lots of secrets to e【3】and I would definitely go if I could.”(Ben from China)

“Is there anything more frightening? Sometimes I have this really terrible dream. I’m in a rocket and it’s going into space. I can’t get out and I’m screaming, but nobody can hear me.
