21、“Three apples have changed the world. One is for Eve, one is for Newton, and the third is in the hands of Steve Jobs,” said someone.

Steve Jobs was the former CEO of the Apple computer company which was set up in his parents’ garage(车库) on April Fool’s Day, 1976. Through many years’ hard work, Jobs and his Apple products were a great success. People believe he has made the world a better place. Many young people also think of Apple products as a fashion icon.

On the other hand, his family members thought of him as a home-loving dad with each of his four children.

22、On a hot summer day in south Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old river behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind his shoes and shirt as he went.

He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, a crocodile (鳄鱼) was swimming toward him. His mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two. In great fear, she ran toward the water, shouting to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became frightened and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the crocodile reached him. From the shore, the mother caught her little boy by the arms just as the crocodile bit his legs. That began an unbelievable tug-of-war between the two. The crocodile was much stronger that the mother, but the mother was much too eager (急切的) to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, ran from his truck, and shot (射击) the crocodile.

After several weeks in hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were badly scarred (留下疤痕) by the attack of the animal. And, on his arms, were deep scratches (抓伤) where his mother’s fingernails dug deep into his skin in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.

A newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his legs. And then, proudly, he said to the reporter, “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my Mom wouldn’t let go.”

Never judge another person’s scars, because you don’t know how they were made.

23、   Is stress from work or school making you sick? If so, you may belong to a growing number of people suffering from serious stress. Experts have called the problem the “Black Death of the 21st century.” The original Black Death is estimated (据估计) to have killed 25 million people in Europe in the 14th century. While no one expects stress to be quite that deadly, it is still a serious matter.

A recent study has shown that stress can affect our ability to go to work. Stress is now the number one reason workers stay home sick four continuous (不间断) weeks or more.

What has led to the growing stress felt in the workplace? The bad economic situation is a major reason. Record numbers of layoffs (裁员) have increased workers’ worry about losing their jobs. Layoffs have also increased the amount of work workers are expected to do. People then work longer hours, which often creates problems for them at home, causing even more stress.

According to Professor Cary Cooper, writer of over 120 books, stress often leads to changes in manner of acting. You may notice that you’re having a hard time centering around things. You may find yourself losing your temper (脾气) easily. You might even seem to have lost your sense of humor. Other stress-related problems include difficulty in sleeping, overeating or drinking in excess.

Stress must be managed by workers themselves and by the company. Workers can take steps to manage stress. They can create a suitable plan and have breaks from time to time. Bosses can help by showing workers that their opinions may be important. They can also allow workers to have some say in decisions that matter their jobs.

  Everyone should work together to look for ways to cope with on-the-job stress.

【1】What does the article point out about the “Black Death” today?

A. A kind of serious disease

B. A bad social situation especially in your work place

C. A relationship between you and your boss

D. A lonely feeling about how you make a living

【2】According to the passage, if you have been home sick more than usual, that means ______.

A. you have failed to manage your work

B. something goes wrong with your body or mind

C. stress may be the main cause

D. you are expected to stay at home to improve your ability for work

【3】How do you notice that you have had the problem of stress?

A. You may spend time with friends and loved ones.

B. You are worrying about losing your job.

C. Your boss gives you a chance to express something valuable.

D. You are impatient with others.

【4】Among all of the following words, which of the two will you choose to describe paragraph 3 and paragraph 4?

①   Ways ② Signs ③ Causes ④ Habits  ⑤ Reviews

A. ⑤&② B. ③&② C. ⑤&④ D. ③&①

24、Life in the future will be different from life today. But what will the change be?

The population is growing fast. There will be more people in the world and most of them will live longer than people live now.

Computers will be much smaller and more useful and there will be at least one in every home. And computer studies will be one of the important subjects in school then.

People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and travel. Traveling will be much cheaper and easier. And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.

There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses for all the people. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day. Instead they will eat more fruits and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier.

Work in the future will be different, too. Dangerous and hard work will be done by robots. Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a problem.

根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误。正确的用“A”表示，不正确的用“B”表示。

【1】In the future there will be more people.

【2】Every family will have at least one robot.

【3】In the future people don't have to work long hours.

【4】People may not eat meat as much as they do today.

【5】One big problem in the future is that many people don't have to work.

25、In a history class, our teacher, Mrs Bartlett asked us to make a poster in groups about the culture that we were studying. She told us to write the names of three friends we wanted in one group and she would think about o【1】 choices(选择).

The next day, I was told to be in a “bad” group. The boy in the group was too weak in English, and the other two girls always w【2】 strange clothes. Oh, how I wanted to be with my f【3】!

With tears(眼泪) in my eyes, I walked up to Mrs Bartlett. She looked at me and seemed to know what I was there f【4】. I told her I should be in the “good” group. She gently placed a hand on my shoulder(肩膀). “I know what you want, Karma,” she said, “but your g【5】 needs you. I need you to help them. Only you can help them.” I was surprised and moved. Her words c【6】 me up.

“Will you help them?” she asked. “Yes,” I r【7】. Then I bravely walked over to my group. I sat down and we started. Each of us did a part according to our interests. Halfway through the week, I felt m【8】 enjoying our group. We did a good job together. Nobody e【9】 Mrs Bartlett believed in our group.

Amazingly, our group got an A. But I think the A should be r【10】 by Mrs Bartlett. Mrs Bartlett brought out the potential (潜能) in four of her students.
