22、A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep hole. When the other frogs saw how deep the hole was, they told the two frogs that they were hopeless to be alive. But the two frogs didn’t believe it. 【1】 . The other frogs kept telling them to stop and wait for their death. Finally, one of the two frogs gave up and fell down. Soon he died.

The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs shouted at him and told him to stop and just wait to die. 【2】 .

When he got out, the other frogs said: “Didn’t you hear us?” The frog explained to them that he was deaf. 【3】 .

The story teaches us two lessons. 【4】 . An encouraging word to someone who is down can cheer him up and help him make it through difficulties. Secondly, a destructive (消极的) word to someone who is down can make him give up and die. So be careful of what you say.

Speak life to those who cross your path. It is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way. It is great for a person to take the time to encourage another.

24、   Sometimes people come into your life and you know at once that they are sure to be there. They serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help find out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be: your classmate, neighbour, teacher, long-lost friend or even a real stranger. But you know that every moment they will influence your life in some serious way.

Sometimes things happen to you. At the time they may seem terrible, painful and unfair. But later you realize that without getting over those difficulties, you would have never realized your further ability and strength. Everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck.

The people you meet influence your life, and the successes and failure you experience create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant (深刻的) and important ones.

If someone loves you, give love back to them in whatever way you can, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things. If someone hurts you or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious(谨慎的) to whom you open your heart.

_______________________. Enjoy every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and listen to what they say. You should set your sights high, hold your head up, tell yourself you are a great one and believe in yourself.

You can make your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

25、Where in the world can you take an hour's train ride, and pass a forest, a London street, a scene from the Wild West, and a burning building that never burns down? There's only one place, and that's Hollywood, in California. The scenes you see from the tourist train are film sets（布景） in the Universal Studios, one of the oldest and largest movie companies in the USA.

A visit to Universal Studios brings back memories of great days of Hollywood, the films and the stars. But they are only memories. Hollywood isn't quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas. Instead, they repeat old ones.

The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers still go out to the movies. The theatre is a good place to meet friends away from home. But older people mostly stay home to watch series, like Dynasty have become as important to Hollywood as expensive movies. These “soap opera”, as they are called, show rich, powerful families living in beautiful homes and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and actresses are nearly all middle-aged, like many of the people who watch them.

Though it is soap operas that are keeping the film-makers of Hollywood in Business, big films are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new center, but there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don't need Hollywood any more. Modern cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower cost. But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.

Thomas did what his mother said. But then he started throwing food into his Mouth. Speed eating was fun. He liked to see how much he could get into his mouth at once.

27、   “I’m bored.” You may turn your nose up at（对……嗤之以鼻） the words when a child says so. In fact, boredom is generally viewed as an unpleasant emotional state. How can anyone claim boredom when there’s so much that can and should be done?

But boredom is something to experience. Despite the lesson most adults tell you—boredom is for boring people—boredom is useful. It’s good for you.

If kids don’t figure this out early on, they’re in for（免不了遭受） a not-so-pleasant surprise in the future. Life isn’t meant to be full of amusements（乐趣）.“That’s right,” a mother says to her daughter in the novel Where’d You Go, Bernadette. “You are bored. And I’m going to let you in on a little secret about life. You think it’s boring now? Well, it only gets more boring. The sooner you learn it’s on you to make life interesting, the better off you’ll be.”

People used to accept that much of life was boring. But things happen when you’re bored. Once you’ve truly felt bored, you find yourself on the route to discovery. This is why so many useful ideas occur in the shower, when you’re held captive（被困住）to a routine activity. You let your mind wander and follow it where it goes.

Of course, it’s not really the boredom itself that’s important; it’s what we do with it, when you reach your breaking point, boredom teaches you to make something happen for yourself.

Teaching children to endure boredom will prepare them for a more realistic future. One day, even in a job they otherwise love, our kids may have to check spreadsheets（电子数据表）, or assist robots at a vast Internet-ready warehouse.

This sounds boring, you might conclude. It sounds like work, and it sounds like life. Perhaps we should get used to boredom again, and use it to our benefit.

【1】It is widely believed that________.

A.feeling bored is good for us children B.one won’t feel bored with much finished

C.a child who is unpleasant will feel bored D.boredom is a signal of negative feeling

【2】What does the underlined word “this” in the third paragraph refer to?

A.The benefit of boredom. B.The causes of boredom.

C.The existence of boredom. D.The problems of boredom.

【3】According to the passage, when can we most probably come up with new ideas?

A.When we are devoted to our work. B.When we are prepared for discovery.

C.When we spend a whole day on daily task. D.When we do whatever we want.

【4】The passage is intended to tell us to ________.

A.live with boredom B.deal with boredom

C.get rid of boredom D.make life interesting

You can also look at some good websites with information about the environment and climate change. Climate change may be a big problem, but there are many little things we can do to make a d【2】.

Driving a car or 【3】(use) electricity is not wrong. We just have to be smart about it. Some people use less energy by carpooling. For example, four people can ride together in one car instead of driving four cars to work. Whenever we use electricity, we put greenhouse gases (气体) into the air. By【4】(turn) off lights, the television, and the computer when they aren’t needed, you can help a lot.

Don’t buy products that use too much energy. Some products, like certain cars are made【5】(special) to save energy. These cars can travel longer on a smaller amount of gasoline. They don’t pollute as much, e 【6】. Products like computers, TVs, and VCRs with the ENERGY STAR label (标签) are made to save energy. Buying products with these labels will help p【7】 the environment.

Buy recyclable products instead of non-recyclable ones. Recyclable products are usually made out【8】things that have already been used. It usually takes【9】(little) energy to make recyclable products than to make new ones. So w【10】you go shopping, look for the recycle mark on the package three arrows that make a circle. The less energy we use, the better.

29、People think that even less than 2-year-old children can help with chores. _______ parents say to those children, “Just look at the paper on the floor,” they will pick it up.
