21、   Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs”? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument（音乐乐器）, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.

Put the chairs in a line. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.

The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.

The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.

At last, there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.

【1】If ten people are playing musical chairs, you must begin with _______.

A. nine chairs B. ten chairs C. eleven chairs D. one chair

【2】Which of the following is not suitable for playing musical chairs?

A. A piano B. A radio C. A tape recorder（录音机） D. A telephone

22、   Many kids help parents to do chores in the house. They may take out the trash, walk the dog or sweep the floor. In return, some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games.

But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Jane Smith, a parenting educator and family coach. She believes if kids get rewards, they may think that work isn't worth doing unless they get something in return. For example, kids won't sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will do it if their parents reward them for it.

“Every house is a team effort，” Jane said, “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have a responsibility to keep our home clean.”

Other people hold different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn about how we need to work to make money.

Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital(电子的) gifts that can be used either online or in life. With the app Chore Monster, kids earn digital points after doing chores. Kids can exchange their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids so they can earn rewards，” says Joe Black, founder of Chore Monster. “Kids need positive(积极的) power to make them do chores.”

【1】Jane Smith thinks that________.

A.housework isn't worth doing

B.kids are not willing to do chores

C.kids should get something in return

D.kids shouldn't get rewards for doing chores

【2】Chore Monster is a(n)________.

A.educator B.coach C.app D.app founder

【3】The meaning of the underlined word “responsibility” in the passage is “________”.

A.waste B.habit C.duty D.price

【4】The purpose of the apps is to________.

A.give kids points and gifts

B.encourage kids to do chores

C.exchange points for real rewards

D.give kids advice on doing chores

【5】What's the main idea of the passage?

A.How to encourage kids to do chores.

B.What kind of chores kids should do.

C.If kids should do chores at home.

D.Whether kids should be rewarded for doing chores.

23、Edith Nesbit was born in London in 1858. Sadly, her father died when she was only four years old. She grew up with two sisters and three brothers in a house in the country. The children had many happy experiences as they explored the gardens, forests, and the railway tracks near their home. When Nesbit was fourteen years old, she began to write poems.

Nesbit got married at the age of eighteen. The couple was poor, and Nesbit began to write stories to make money. Many of her stories came from her childhood memories. For example, many of the characters and places in the story The Railway Children came from Nesbit’s own childhood. At first, she used the name “E. Nesbit” because she did not want people to know that she was a woman. A long time ago, people thought that only men could be good writers. Later, Nesbit became proud of who she was. She even cut her hair short. It was very unusual at that time.

The Railway Children is one of her most famous stories and one of the most popular children’s stories in England. It was first published in 1905.

B．Women shouldn’t write poems.

C．Women should have short names.

D．Women should have short hair.

【4】What does the passage mainly tell us?

24、   Here are some American classroom rules:

◎If the teacher asks a question, you should give an answer. If you don’t understand the question, put up your hand and ask the answer.

◎There is no excuse for not doing your homework. If you miss a class, you should call and ask for the homework.

◎You shouldn’t miss a test. If you are seriously（严重地） ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows make-up tests, you should take the test in one or two days after returning to class. Serious illness is the only reason for missing a test.

25、   The famous R【1】 writer Lev Tolstory (托尔斯泰) once said, “ Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing h【2】.”

He was right. We always plan to do or dream of doing something great so that we can change the world .For example, we hate p【3】, so we try to find new energy  r【4】 to keep the environment clean. H【5】, we still litter on the ground in our lives. Also, we are not satisfied with the traffic, so we plan to build more highways to stop it. But in fact, the main reason for it is that many people don't f【6】 the traffic rules.

Now,lots of students always think their homework is very difficult and they find it hard to pass exams. In their e【7】 the problems on papers are too difficult. But actually, the real r【8】 is that they don’t study hard. They never think about changing their attitudes t【9】 study or working hard on their lessons.

In my opinion, before we decide to change the world, we should change ourselves first. As common people, it is not easy for us to change the world, but we can easily give up our bad habits, such as littering, breaking traffic rules and always c【10】 about how difficult the exam is. If we can do that, we'll be strong enough to change the world some day and make it!
