21、When I was a kid, I often played basketball. So I was thin but healthy. When I was about 15, I stopped playing basketball. I also started to drink a lot of drinks high in sugar and eat much more than before. Between 15 and 17, I put on a lot of weight (重量) — about 50 kg.
I didn’t know how big I was till I saw a photo one day. In the photo, I had a fat neck and my stomach was out there. I didn’t like the way I looked. I knew I needed to lose some weight.
I started to drink only water, and eat less and healthier. I ate mainly vegetables and only one piece of meat every day, and stayed away from sugar.
I also started to exercise. Every day, I ran for 30 minutes first, and then I did some push-ups (俯卧撑) for 10 minutes. I also jumped rope (跳绳) for 15 minutes every day.
I kept exercising all the winter. When March came, many people said to me, “Oh, Dave, you’ve been a different person!”
It was true. I lost 25 kg in three months. I liked taking photos, and I noticed the difference in my looks.
I loved the three months. It felt good to lose weight, and it felt even better to set a goal (目标) and go for it.

22、Parking lots again came up for discussion in Shanghai. Another 220, 000 private cars will hit the roads this year, and the need to buy a car is still very high among people. More than 270,000 cars have no designated(指定)parking areas at night. In a middle school in Changing District, trees were cut in a green area to make way for car parking. The school had not considered car parking when it was being built,
A private car is used about an hour daily for driving and stays parked for 23 hours. Many private cars are used even less. Car-sharing offers users all kinds of cars. The cars are parked in car-sharing stations, lying throughout the city. Customers of car-sharing can book(预定)a car at any time ( day or night) by telephone or on the Internet. The customer then picks the booked car up at the set time. After finishing his/her business, they return the car to the same place where they picked it up. Maybe, this is one way to solve the car parking problem.
On the other hand, the idea of Park & Ride has been suggested. This means that underground train and city train should be developed quickly. You can leave your cars in car parks nearby subway and bus stations and then you can ride public transports to go to the city centre within minutes—great in wet weather or when you're carrying heavy bags. Park & Ride services can save you a little more time to do something you enjoy: catch up on e-mails, chat with friends, read the paper or simply relax, and prepare for the day ahead. Then the city will cut down the number of parking lots in the city centre.
【1】Why does the writer mention what the middle school did in Paragraph 1?
A. To say car parking has been a problem for along time.
B. To show the car parking problem is becoming more serious.
C. To warm the middle school didn't care about environment.
D. To tell people to learn from the school for more parking areas.

A. Expensive. B. OK.
C. Not possible. D. Not convenient.
【3】According to the text, private cars .
A. are not useful at all
B. are not used very often
C. are responsible for the city train development
D. help drivers reach the city centre more quickly
【4】According to the idea of Park & Ride, we can infer(推断)the city will have to .
A. build more parking lots near subway and bus stops
B. offer more cars to the customers in the city centre
C. encourage people not to drive cars to the city
D. ask people not to buy more cars
23、 In China, it’s a tradition for people to wait until the second day in the second month of the lunar (阴历的) year to cut their hair because people believe getting a hair cut on this day will bring them good luck. And traditional stories say that doing this in the first lunar month will cause your mother’s brothers to die.
Although it’s not true, some people still believe it. So, after a month’s wait, people usually flock to cut their hair on Dragon Head-Raising Day (龙抬头) ——the second day of the second lunar month.
Dragon Head-Raising Day falls on Feb 24 this year. It is an important traditional Chinese holiday. Ancient people believed that after this day, there would be more rainy days because the rain-bringing Dragon King would wake up from his winter sleep. So that day is the start of spring farming. Then goes a well-known saying, “On the second day of the second month, the dragon lifts his head.”
Besides cutting their hair, there are also other ways to celebrate this holiday. For example, people eat food with “dragon names”. People call noodles dragon’s beard (龙须). Dumplings are dragon’s ears (龙耳) and spring rolls (春卷) are dragon’s scales (龙鳞). Sewing (缝补) is something that you can’t do, because the needles (针) might bring bad luck by hurting the dragon’s eyes.
【1】People don’t cut their hair during the first lunar month because _____.
A.it would make the Dragon King angry
B.it would cause their mothers’ brothers to die
C.it would bring them bad luck
【2】The underlined word “flock” probably means _____.
A.gather B.forget C.refuse
【3】_____ is the start of spring farming.
A.February 24th B.February 2
C.The second day in the second month of the lunar year
【4】Which of the following is NOT a way to celebrate Dragon-Head Raising Day?
A.Cutting hair. B.Sewing. C.Eating dumplings.
【5】Which of the following is true about Dragon-Head Raising Day?
A.People eat dragons to celebrate the holiday.
B.The celebration has something to do with stories about the dragon.
C.People visit their uncles during the holiday.

25、 Jim and Cathy come from a typical American family. As the elder brother, Jim often o【1】 (主动提出) to help Cathy work out problems. Jim plays f【2】
(足球) with great skills. But there is a cloud hanging over Jim′s development. His mother often c【3】 (比较) Jim with other children. She always wants him to compete with others and win. This causes much p【4】 (压力) for Jim. It also pushes Jim into a crazy and nervous place. Jim often argues with his mother and the r【5】 (关系) between them are difficult. Jim doesn′t want to c【6】 (继续) practicing football anymore. I guess Jim wants to cut out all the matches.
In my opinion, everyone has his own world to look through. It′s w【7】 (错误的) to push Jim so hard. Perhaps they should deal with this problem. They should find a chance to explain to each other as quickly as possible. Firstly, as m【8】 (成员) of a family, they should often communicate to get on well with each other. It′s clear that parents can′t give children too much pressure. I【9】(反而), they should allow their children to do whatever they like. S【10】 (其次), parents should have proper communication with their children.
