21、“Did you see that?” Joe said to his friend Bill. “You play basketball so well!”

Bill caught the basketball and threw it again. The ball flew into the net.

“But I can’t when I’m in a real game,” Bill said unhappily.

Bill was right. He played much better when he was having fun with Joe in the school playground than he did when he was playing for the school team in front of a large crowd.

“Maybe you just need to practise more,” Joe said.

“But I practise all the time with you! I just can’t play well when people are watching me,” Bill said.

“You play well when I’m watching.”

“That’s because I’ve known you since we were five years old. I’m just not comfortable playing when other people are around.”

Joe understood, but he also had an idea.

The next day Joe and Bill met in the school playground again to practise. After a few minutes, Joe said to his friend, “Practise without me. I’ll be back in a minute.”

Joe hurried through the school building, gathering (召集) a group of people.

When Joe explained why he needed them, everyone was happy to help. Joe told the group to stay quiet. Bill made five baskets in a row (连续) without noticing the people standing behind him.

“Hey, Bill!” Joe called out finally. Bill turned. A look of surprise came over his face.

“I just wanted to show you that you could play well with people watching you,” Joe said. “Now you’ll have nothing to worry about for the next game.”

D．He played better in practice than he did during games.

【2】Where did Bill practise the next day?

A．In the park.

B．In his community.

C．In the school playground.

D．In the playground near his house.

【3】Why did Joe decide to gather a group of people?

A．Because he wanted to show them his skills.

B．Because he wanted more players for his team.

C．Because he wanted to help Bill feel less nervous.

D．Because he wanted more people to watch the next game.

【4】What would be the best title for the story?

22、   What is celebrity (名人)? The word is mostly used for the famous people in the world of entertainment (娱乐图). Film stars and pop musicians become celebrities if they are very popular or successful. In most (but not all) cases, they become famous by being good at what they do. Their names and faces are familiar (熟悉的) to most people, who have either seen them on stage or read about them in the newspapers and magazines.

Over the years, other groups of people have become eligible for celebrity status (地位). These include sportsmen and sportswomen (such as footballers, tennis players and racing drivers), especially if their success makes them rich. Things are a little different now. It seems that anyone can become a celebrity, no matter whether they have any skills or talent. In fact some usual people have become famous just for performing badly on TV shows.

I do not envy (羡慕) these people. They may be rich. but they have no private (私有的) time and they are not that happy. No matter where they go, they will always be followed by some people, waiting for the opportunity to take an ugly picture that they can share with all over the world.

【1】What do we know about celebrities?

A. They are all in the world of entertainment.

B. Their being good at what they do makes them famous.

C. They are all film stars and pop musicians.

D. People don’t know their names and faces very well.

【2】What can we learn from the second paragraph?

A. Sportsmen and sportswomen become famous easily now.

B. Rich people become famous by performing badly on TV shows.

C. It is much easier to be a celebrity now.

D. One must have some skills if he wants to be a celebrity.

【3】The author does not envy the celebrities because ________.

A. they are not very rich

B. they are not known by many people

C. they cannot do the things they are good at

D. they do not have their private time to relax

23、My grandfather is eighty years old. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.

Families aren’t what they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If the husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now everyone is busy working. No one has time to look after children at home.

And the cars! No one walks anymore; more and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on schooldays, even in winter. But now students don’t. And in school, children don’t have to think anymore. In maths class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide (加减乘除) by using our heads. But now kids don’t use their heads anymore; instead, they use calculators (计算器).

Most families have computers and there are lights at home now. In the past we didn’t have computers. We didn’t even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don’t often eat home-cooked food.

And people talk less to each other than before. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think...

Life used to be simple, but it isn’t simple anymore.

【1】What does my grandfather think of the life now?

A．He thinks the life now is very good.

B．He thinks the life now is worse than it used to be.

C．He thinks the life now is better than it used to be.

D．家庭

D．All of the above.

【4】What changes have happened to families?

② People often eat home-cooked food.

③ Lots of families have computers.

24、"Mabel, Mabel, strong and able, keep your elbows off the table." I was only 3 or 4 years old when my mom taught me this little rhyme (雅韵诗). She taught it to teach me polite table manners.

I wish learning table manners as an adult were that easy. However, each country has its own table manners and knowing all about them can give you a headache.

For example, knowing how much food to eat can be tricky (复杂的). In China I quickly learned that if I finished all the food, others would invite us to have more. It is polite to leave a bit of food on the dishes. In Finland, however, your host would be troubled if you left any food on your plate.

If you're in America and you do want more food, don't reach across the table for it. That would be considered uncivilized (没有教养的). Instead you need to ask someone to pass you the dish.

What would you do if you walked into a restaurant and all the tables were full? In Germany or China, you might share a table with strangers. People in America, however, like more personal space better. They may think you strange if you sit at their table.

And after your meal, should you leave a tip? In some countries a tip is included in the meal price. In America, you need to leave extra money on the table to thank your server for the service.

Before you travel to a new country, be sure to pick up a good book on culture and customs. Take time to watch how the local people act and imitate them.

【1】Which of the following countries is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. China.   B. Finland.   C. Germany.   D. Japan.

【2】In America, you should___________.

A. ask someone to pass you the dish if you want more food

B. share a table with strangers

C. leave extra money on the table as a tip

D. Both A and C

【3】When you go to a restaurant full of guests in the US and sit on a seat with a man you

don't know, they will find_________.

A. you are very friendly   B. you are very kind to others

C. you are very strange   D. you are very clever

【4】What does the underlined word "imitate" in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. To look at someone or something for a long time and not move your eyes.

B. To copy the way someone or something looks, sounds or behaves.

C. To make jokes about.

D. To put something down.

【5】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. A tip is needed in some countries.

B. It's easy to follow table manners in different countries.

C. Each country has its own table manners.

D. You'd better eat all the food on your plate in Finland.

25、Almost every day, we discuss the topic of health. But what is health? Health means eating well, getting e【1】 exercise and having a healthy lifestyle. Here a【2】 some useful rules.

Eat different kinds of foods, e【3】 fruit and vegetables. We all know that eating fruit and vegetables keeps us healthy, but many of us only eat our favourite food. Remember that we can only get w【4】 our bodies need by eating all sorts of foods.

Every day, you should drink at l【6】 three glasses of milk, when you are 9 years old or above. You’d better try to have drinks w【7】 little sugar.

Pay attention to your body. When you are eating, notice how your body f【8】 . When your stomach is full, s【9】 eating. Eating too much makes you become fat and unhealthy.
