21、

Have you heard of a woman writer? She wrote a lot of detective（侦探）novels. Her name is Agatha Christie. She is one of the most popular writers of all time. About four billion copies of her books have been sold, and they have been translated into 103 languages. She is often called the queen of the “whodunit”. A whodunit is a story that starts with a crime, usually murder. Then the main character of the story tries to discover who did it（or who-done-it）.

When Agatha Christie was five, she had read a lot of books and tried to write novels. At the age of 30, she had finished her first detective novel. Readers love her stories because there are always lots of clues（线索）and special information for them to think about as they read. Her two most famous characters are the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and the elderly amateur detective Miss Marple.

Christie always wrote about places that she knew, like Torquay, the English town where she was born in 1890 and lived for a long time. But her readers are lucky that she was also a great traveler. She was married to an archaeologist（考古学家）and traveled with him to Syria and Iraq, where they worked at archaeological “digs”. In the book Murder in Mesopotamia, Poirot found a murder at one of these digs. Christie also traveled to Egypt, the setting for Death on the Nile, and took the train ride between Istanbul and Paris（Murder on the Orient Express）.

Agatha Christie died in 1976, but her books continue to be popular today. For one week every year, lovers of her stories can go to the Agatha Christie Festival in Torquay. People dress up in clothes from the 1920s and 1930s, like characters in her stories. Jazz bands play at tea parties and there are dinners on old trains and at old country houses. Visitors have a lot of fun trying to discover who the “killer” is—or whodunit.

24、   My father woke me up early one summer morning when I was fourteen and said: “Get up, you’re going with me to cut the grass in the garden.”

The idea that my father thought I was old enough to help him in his business (生意) made me feel proud (骄傲) and excited. From sunrise to sunset, my father, my younger brother and I worked in the large garden, in a rich part of Atlanta, Georgia. By the end of the day I was too tired to say a word but I felt good. This was my first time to help my father in his business. I got $ 6 for my work that day.

One day my father found some leaves I had missed and pulled me aside. “Take away these leaves!” he said seriously, “and don’t make me have to tell you to do it again.” The message was clear. Today I still value（珍视） it , which my father gave to me that day. It will always be helpful to impress (给……留下印象) the person you are working for.  

After two years, I left home and went to another town to start my new life. Luckily for me, I quickly found a job to wash dishes in a restaurant. Every morning, I set off early, always with the same strong wish I got long long ago. I felt like I was old enough to be independent and make a living by myself.

In fact, washing dishes was not exciting, but that didn’t matter. It taught me that any job was a good job and whatever I got from the job was more than I had before. I could learn something meaningful from every job and do it better and better. One day, a newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live with hard work and low pay. “If you only think about hard work and money, answered.

In every job, from cutting the grass to washing dishes, I’ve learned much. I’ve learned something that helps me in my next job.

A.he was not old enough to help his family.

B.he thought he became important to his father’s business.

C.he could cut the grass without others’ help.

D.he could get $6 that day by cutting grass.

【2】Which of the following can be the missing part(划线空缺部分) in Paragraph 5?

A.you will stay away from your family. B.you will live a hard life

C.you probably don’t want to do any better than you are doing.   D.you won’t be happy in your life

【3】The word “message” in the passage probably refers to(指) __________.

A.not leaving leaves behind

B.giving no excuse for your mistakes

C.doing a good job at the very beginning

D.missing things which can be found out

【4】The best title of this passage may be “   ”.

A.My Father, the Best Teacher in My Life B.Work Hard to Find a Job

C.Different Jobs, Different Lives D.Keep Learning in Your Jobs

25、根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。

Transformers(变形金刚)can change from big robots into super-fast cars. Now, scientists at Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have made these robots for real. They are not made of metal b【1】 paper.

Some parts of these robots are made of toy-shop materials. They c【2】 about 100 dollars. After being put in small batteries (电池), the paper robots will start to walk s【3】. They transform from paper i【4】 four-legged robots in just four minutes.

The robots are about 15 cm long, 15 cm w【5】 and 5 cm tall. You can see that each of them is nearly as big as a book. Each of the robots w【6】 less than 85 grams (克). They move 5 cm per second. These s【7】 robots can help people a lot. They can explore (探索) outer space and other dangerous places. They can also get into very small places to help save people.

Scientists think that these robots may s【8】 a robotic revolution (革命) in the future. They believe that one day when someone wants a robot to walk his dog or play chess with him, he could go to a store with special equipment (设备) to m【9】 it.

Of course, these robots are not transformers from the movie. Once they have the battery and begin to assemble (组装) t【10】, they are fixed. This means that they can’t change back into paper or change into other shapes.
