21、Fig trees are native to Europe around the Mediterranean Sea, Asia and Arica, but they can grow in much cooler climates.
Once big enough, fig trees can accept temperatures even a few degrees below freezing. Some kinds of fig trees do better in such environments than others.
Depending on the weather and pruning (修剪), a fig can grow into a bush or a tee. Bushes with several stems (茎) growing from the ground do best if covered for the winter. 【1】Either way, wait until the trees have dropped most of their leaves.
One popular method for burying trees for their protection involves digging a narrow, shallow area. 【2】The space should be about 30 centimeters deep, 60 centimeters wide and as long as the height of the tree. To prepare the tree, gather its branches and tie them together with soft rope.
Next, push a shovel (铲子) into the soil about a half-meter from the trunk (树干) on the side opposite the hole. Lift that side of the tree’s root ball out of the ground. Then, gently push the tree toward the hole.【3】
Pack soil around the exposed side of the roots, and around the length of the tree. Load soil over the tree. Make it at least 30 centimeters deep. You will need more soil than you removed from digging.
【4】In this case, you should work upwards from the bottom and put cloth around the tree. Then put heavy brown paper around the cloth and tie it into place. Remove some soil from around the base of the tree. Place a large piece of cardboard into the space. 【5】Tie the cardboard into place.
A.And in this area the tree can be laid.
B.All kinds of the trees could use protection.
C.You can also cover, or wrap, the tree instead.
D.And bend it around the bottom part of the tree.
E.When it is lying fat, cover the tree with plastic.
F.Trees with a single trunk can be buried or covered.
G.Remove the cover on the tee on a cloudy day in early spring.
22、On August 5, 2021, Chinese diver Quan Hongchan became China's newest diving superstar when she won the gold medal in the women's diving 10m platform final in style. Having turned 14 just four months before the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, Quan is the youngest athlete among China' s Olympic group, and won the country's 33rd gold medal in Tokyo.
She simply blew away the rest of the competitors, delivering three perfect—10 dives, and achieved a record—breaking overall score of 466.20.
Her great performance, where she hardly created a ripple (涟漪)on the water's surface during her five dives, left audience in surprise, with some saying that even dumplings make bigger splashes (水花)."
Covering her face with the gold medal, Quan gave thanks to her parents, saying that they had told her not to be nervous, "They said it doesn't matter if I get a medal or not. Just be myself. Those words really helped me."
Quan comes from a family in Guangdong. Her mother was hurt in an accident several years ago, and has to stay at hospitals. The family depends on her father, but she says she wants to help out with her mother's medical bill by practicing diving.
She began to learn diving at 7 and trained about four hours each day, practicing 400 dives. After entering the national diving team, she trained even harder. At the Tokyo Games, she broke the record of 447.70 held by Chen Ruolin. In the end, China won seven gold and five silver medals in diving. With newcomers like Quan, China can probably expect a lot more gold medals and a lot more broken records in the future.

23、 My old professor’s death sentence came in the summer of 1994. Doctors guessed he had two years left. Morrie knew it was less. But he had made a big decision, one he began to construct the day he came out of the doctor’s office with a sword hanging over his head. He would make death his final project. Since everyone was going to die, he could be of great value, right? He could be researched. Morrie would walk that final bridge between life and death, and record the trip.
The last class of my old professor’s life had only one student. I was the student. The class met on Tuesdays. The subject was “The Meaning of life”. It was taught from experience. No grades were given, but there were oral exams each week. You were expected to respond to questions, and you were expected to raise questions of your own. You were also required to perform physical tasks now and then, such as lifting the professor’s head to a comfortable spot on the pillow or placing his glasses on the bridge of his nose. Kissing him goodbye earned you extra credits. No books were required, yet many topics were covered, including love, work, community, family, aging, forgiveness, and finally, death.
I look back sometimes at the person I was before I rediscovered my old professor. I want to talk to that person. I want to tell him to be more open, to pay attention when your loved ones are speaking, as if it were the last time you might hear them. None of us can undo what we’ve done, or relive a life already recorded. But if Morrie taught me anything at all, it was this: there is no such thing as “too late” in life. He was changing until the day he said goodbye.
【1】What can be learned about Morrie from Paragraph 1?
A.He was sentenced to death by the court.
B.He decided to face death positively.
C.He left the doctor’s office with a sword.
D.He decided to travel and record the trip.
【2】Which of the following about Morrie’s last class is correct?
A.Many students attended it.
B.Kissing the teacher was required.
C.Different aspects of life were involved.
D.Grades were given after each oral exam.
【3】What does the underlined word “him” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The person “I” used to be. B.A loved person.
C.The professor. D.A student.
【4】What’s the main purpose of the text?
A.To introduce an unforgettable class.
B.To encourage people to accept death.
C.To stress a teacher’s great influence.
D.To educate readers to treat teachers sincerely.
24、Things You Shouldn't Do While Shopping
Leave your kids alone.
If you plan to bring your children with you to do holiday shopping, make sure that they are well-rested and fed.【1】 It's also not the staff's responsibility to watch after your children since they have to attend to other customers.If you do have to take your kids with you, use this as an opportunity to teach them the manners every parent should teach their child.
Park like you own the place.
The only thing worse than shopping in stores during the holidays is parking at the store.Be patient in the lot and avoid unnecessary honking(鸣笛)or spot stealing.It is also recommended leaving your car at home and grabbing a cab, Lyft, or Uber instead.【2】
Keep the cart in the middle of the passageway.
Keep in mind that the flow of traffic in the passageways is the same as on the road-stick to the right and let people pass on the left.If you're looking at something, be sure to park your cart to the right side of the passageway so other people can get around you.【3】 And that could make it difficult for other shoppers to get by.
【4】
For the clothes that don't fit after the try-on, fold or hang them and return them to a staff member on your way out.This will make the shopping experience more pleasant for both the shoppers and staff since the changing rooms won't be filled with unwanted and messy clothes.【5】 By keeping your changing room clean, you're showing respect for your fellow shoppers and staff who work there.
A.Otherwise, the staff have to organize them.
B.Leave unwanted clothes in the dressing room.
C.Especially rude driving habits could be dangerous, too.
