21、   When my family moved to America from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States. 

I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive (敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description "old". I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry. 

In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.

However, in the United States, people think "growing old" is a problem since "old" shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn't want to hear. 

After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don't respect them anymore; I still respect them, but now I don't show my feelings through words.

【1】Jack brought the couple their food very fast because ________.

A.the manager asked him to do so

B.he respected the elderly

C.the couple wanted him to do so

【2】When Jack called the couple "elderly", they became ________.

A.nervous B.satisfied C.unhappy

【3】In Jack's hometown, ________.

A.people dislike being called "old"

B.people are proud of being old

C.many people reach the age of seventy or eighty

【4】After this experience, Jack ________.

A.changed his way with older people

B.made friends with the couple

C.no longer respected the elderly

【5】Which of the following is TRUE?

A.The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got.

B.Jack wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience.

C.From this experience, Jack learned more about American culture.

22、   When humans try to make the best use of the nature, it also fights against us at the same time. As a result, many natural treasures are disappearing(消失) quietly these years.

The Himalayan Glaciers (冰山)

The Himalayan glaciers are melting(融化) faster than ever at speed of 33-49 feet every year because of the rising temperature. Melting glaciers could bring too much water to India, China, and Nepal and break down living places for lots of animals. And for mountain climb, they may face more dangerous challenges.

Yangtze Area

Our cute pandas are living in the forests of the Yangtze area of China. Their home used to be beautiful and big. But humans cut down too many trees, so their living areas are becoming smaller and smaller. Food is also less and less. The Three Gorges Dam(三峡大坝), the largest dam in history, is also breaking down the Yangtze River area.

Amazon Rain Forest

________ However, rising temperature and over tree-cutting are changing the forest's role into carbon sink(碳汇集地), making 30-60% of the rainforest into dry places. Scientists show the forest could disappear completely by 2050.

【1】 may cause the Himalayan Glaciers to melt.

A.Cutting down trees B.Too many Wars

23、   If we think of Earth’s natural resources (自然资源) as a bank account (账户), then we have already used up most of the “money” that Earth saved. Have you ever heard of Earth Overshoot Day (EOD, 地球生态超载日)? The Global Footprint Network (全球足迹网络), a nonprofit (非营利的) organization based in the United States, Belgium and Switzerland, calculates (计算) this day. It keeps records of how many new resources the earth can create in one year and how much water, land, fish and forest human beings use, as well as how much CO2 we’re emitting (排放) in one year.

It has been marking EOD since 1971. At first, it was somewhere between September and October. In 2018, EOD was marked on August 1st, and in 2019 it was on July 29th. Each year, the human population grows and more resources are used. That’s why EOD has moved forward by more than two months over the last 20 years.

Human beings are now using natural resources 1.75 times faster than they can be renewed (再生). This has affected the environment in a bad way. For instance, wildfires are becoming more frequent (频繁的). Cities around the world are running out of water. Up to 1,000,000 species (物种) could die out because of human activities. However, humans are taking some small steps to deal with the problem. Countries like China and India are trying their best to green the planet. But there’s still a very long way to go.

A.Our planet can’t create new resources.

B.Wildfires have destroyed all our natural resources.

C.All Asian countries have found ways to use fewer natural resources.

D.More work needs to be done to solve resource—related problems.
