22、   It was an autumn morning shortly after my husband and I moved into our first house. Our children were upstairs playing, and I was looking out of the window and saw my father moving around the front garden. “What are you doing out there?” I called to him.

He looked up, smiling, “I’m making you a surprise.” Dad didn’t say more. And caught up in the busyness of our new life, I forgot about his surprise totally after a long time.

One day in the following March, I looked out and noticed that there was still some snow littering the garden. Would winter ever end?

And yet … was it a miracle (幻想)? I saw something pink in the snow. To find out what it was, I put on my coat and headed outside for a closer look.

There, bravely waving in the wind, were crocuses (番红花). They were throughout the front garden, with different colors like blue, yellow and my favorite pink.

“It’s Dad,” I smiled, remembering the seeds he had secretly planted last autumn. My eyes were filled with tears. He knew how the darkness and dreariness of winter always got me down. What could have been more perfectly timely and more suitable for my needs? How happy I was, not only for the flowers but also for my father.

My father’s crocuses came out each spring for the next four or five seasons, bringing the same belief (信念) every time they arrived: Hard times are almost over. Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon. The crocuses were in flower for only several days each year, but they built my belief for a lifetime.

23、As space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as success. Scientists have found out that the radiation（辐射）is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of the radiation from the Sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The harm of the radiation won’t be found until their children even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really effective medicine has been found so far.

Space rubbish is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen. It’s reported that there were 9, 000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites, 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space rubbish. An explosion（爆炸）in space in 1999 made a cloud of 300, 000 fragments, each at least 4mm in size. A small piece of these even knocked a spaceship window and caused some damage（损坏）.

Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working to deal with space rubbish. Although space is really dangerous, it interests many people on the Earth. In the near future, it may be possible for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the Earth and live in space in a few years. So we should do something to help improve the space environment.

【1】Which of the following shows the man-made things in space in the correct way?

A．

B．

C．

D．

【2】To spacemen, the radiation from the Sun and other stars is ________

B．helpful

C．useful

D．harmful

【3】The underlined word “fragments” means “________” in Chinese.

A．Scientists have found out ways to solve any problems in space.

B．Every one of us can have a travel to space in ten years.

C．The harm of the radiation may be found in the spacemen’s children.

D．Space is really dangerous, so it doesn’t interest anyone on the Earth.

24、American country music is also known as (被视为) country Western music. It has a very long history. It comes from the folk songs of immigrants(移民) from Britain.
