21、When I was a child in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. One of my father’s friends, Tom, was a rich trader. He owned a large store in St Paul. Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Tom would call. Dad and I would take a bus to Tom’s place. We would sit on the edge of the dock (码头) happily and get ready for a big meal. Tom would take a big watermelon out, cut it up, give us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we three would put our faces in the watermelon, eating only the heart—the finest, sweetest and most seed-free (无籽的) part, and throw away the rest.

In my father’s eyes, Tom was a real rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful trader. Later, I learned that my father thought that Tom was rich because of the way he lived his life. Tom knew when to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.

No matter how much money we have, some of us, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don’t take the time to sit at the “dock” and enjoy life’s small pleasures (愉悦), your work is probably injuring your life.

When I grew up, I forgot the lesson I once learned at the dock because I was too busy as a doctor. Well, now I relearned it. Though I’m still busy working as a doctor, I will try to slow down and take the time to enjoy the small pleasures of my life. That’s the heart of the watermelon.

【1】Which of the following is TRUE about Tom?

A．He grew watermelons.

B．He was very poor.

C．He knew how to enjoy life.

D．He had few friends.

【2】The underlined word “injuring” means “________” in Chinese.

A．丰富

B．改善

C．危害

D．反抗

【3】The writer is working in a ________ now.

A．school

B．post office

C．police station.

D．hospital

【4】The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to (指代) ________.

A．the best part of the watermelon

B．the writer’s busy life and work

C．the writer’s decision of making money

D．the writer’s hope of enjoying life

22、Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you.

Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t try to talk about something with your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t listen to you if you are shouting at them. Go somewhere else to cool off. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you think you can’t speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter to them.

Try to understand your parents. Your parents may think differently from you. Tell your parents what you think, what you care about and why. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. Put yourself in their shoes and you may find a better way out.

Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to an agreement. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.

It is also important to show your love to your parents. Try to do some small things at home, like making them a cup of tea, helping do some chores, and so on. It helps to keep your relationship closer. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try.

23、Studying abroad can be a difficult experience, so you had better remember the following things.

You can not completely (完全) enter another country if not leaving your home behind. When you are abroad, do not always speak on your mobile phone to people at home or spend too much time on the Internet.

If you want to learn the language, you have to practise it. Because practice makes perfect.

If you have made a choice to study in a foreign country, forget your pride (骄傲) and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. It is natural for anyone to make mistakes when learning a new language. This is how we learn.

Be 10 times more polite than usual. People are more likely to be helpful and patient if you are nice and polite. If you are staying with a family, make sure to clean the room and make your bed, and always be polite when talking to them.

Try to get into the local society. School is important, but the cultural experience is also very important. We all like to get good grades and do well in school, but we can not fully understand the culture only in the classroom.

Do not waste your time. Everyone has bad days when they miss home. These days will pass. Remember that you are one of the few lucky people. Go and learn about the world and, most importantly, have fun.

24、   People often ask me for advice about how to learn English. As for it, everyone is different. I'll share some of my experiences. I once took a school year English course in Wuhan University, but I mostly learned English on my own.

One thing I can tell you is that, once you've started learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when you're riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about "How would I say them in English?" At first, it might be with simple words or phrases, but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now I'm in America, and for most of the time, I would think in English and speak it directly. It's amazing how much this helps.

For a few years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I didn't want to make mistakes. Finally I got it over. And while traveling in America, I'd try to hang out with friends who couldn't speak Chinese, so that I'd have no choice but to speak English. And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me, then so be it. After that, my English started improving much more quickly.

Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you're writing, and give you some advice for improvement.

【1】The writer learned English in Wuhan University for about ________.

A．a week

B．a month

C．a term

D．a year

【2】According to the writer, ________ is a good way to improve your English.

A．thinking in English

B．learning English grammar

C．watching English films

D．reading English books

【3】The underlined phrase "get it over" in Paragraph 3 means "________" in English.

A．reply to it

B．depend on it

C．solve it

D．understand it

【4】The best title for this passage should be ________.

A．The Importance of English

B．My English Learning Experience

C．My University Life

D．My American Friends

25、One summer morning, a tiger was walking by a river. He hoped to find s【1】 to eat. On the water, a duck was swimming.“There is my b【2】,”thought the tiger.
