21、   I’m Helen Blevins. I’m very lucky because I make money by doing what I love --painting pictures.

I painted my first picture when I was just four. One day, when Mom was cooking, I painted a summer scene on one blue wall of my bedroom. I painted myself and my dog on the grass, with red flowers around. I painted the sun above us, with a big smile on its face.

I was still painting when Mom walked into my room. Her mouth was open and she stood there quietly, looking at the wall. “I’m in big trouble,” I thought. So I was really surprised when Mom said, “What a beautiful picture, Helen!” The picture stayed on my bedroom wall and is still there today, 30 years later. I see it every time I go home to visit Mom.

I tell this story because it shows how much Mom supported my love of painting. When I was at school, she cared about my art as much as other subjects. She kept all my paintings and hung many of them on the walls of our house. She often said, “You are so talented. Follow your dream.”

Today I’m a successful painter. I’m happy that people love my paintings and hang them in their homes. I will never forget Mom’s great support!

22、April 1st is a day on which, in some countries, people try to play jokes on others. If one succeeds in joking with somebody, one laughs and says, “April Fool”, and then the person who has been joked with usual laughs, too.

One April 1st, a country bus was going on a countryside road. The road was so small and not so straight that the driver had great trouble in driving along. When the bus slowed down and stopped, he quickly turned his key again and again, looking very worried, but nothing happened. Then he turned to the passengers with an unhappy look on his face and said, “This poor bus is getting old and it isn’t going as well as it used to. There is one thing to do if we want to get home before dark. I shall count three, and on the word ‘three’, I want you all to lean forward(前倾) suddenly as hard as you can. That should get the bus started again. Now, all of you lean back as far as you can in your seats and get ready.”

The passengers all followed the drivers’ words. They leaned back all at once and waited quietly for the drivers number counting. Then the driver turned to his front and asked whether they were ready. The passengers hardly had enough breath to answer “yes”.

“One! Two! Three!” counted the driver. The passengers all leaned forward suddenly and the bus started up at a great speed.

The passengers breathed more easily and began to smile with joy. But their smiles turned to surprise and then big laughter when the driver cried, “ April Fools”.

23、   Emergencies（紧急情况）don’t happen very often. But when they do, you want to get help first. No one wants to spend time looking up the phone numbers.

In 1968, the United States government wanted one number that people could call for emergencies. They decided that 911 was easy to remember and people could dial it quickly. The very first 911 call was made on February 16, 1968, in Alabama. Today, 911 is used for emergencies in most parts of the United States and many parts of Canada

Other countries may use other numbers. In Great Britain, it’s 999. If you’re not sure which emergency number is used in your area, check your phone book.

When to call

Never call 911 as a joke or just to see what might happen. The only time you should call 911 is when a person is badly hurt or in danger right now! So call when there is a fire, a car accident, or sudden sickness, etc.

When in an emergency call

When you dial the 911 operator（接线员）, it’s always OK to give out your information. Speak slowly and clearly when you explain what’s happening. What happened? Where are you? Who needs help?

Don’t hang up（挂断）!

If you have to call 911, do not hang up until the operator tells you it’s OK to do so. That way, you can be sure that the operator has all the information to offer help fast.

A dog named Faith dialed 911 when her owner who was in a wheelchair fell and needed help. She had been taught to use a speed-dial function.

【1】The emergency number 911 was first used in ________ in the USA.

A．1958

B．1968

C．1978

D．1999

【2】Why was 911 chosen to be the emergency call?

A．Because other countries also used the number.

B．Because it was suggested by the phone company.

C．Because it was simple and easy to remember and dial.

D．Because it was also used in many parts of Canada.

【3】People can’t call 911 when ________.

A．a bus hits a boy badly

B．a girl feels bored

C．an old lady falls off the stairs, unable to stand up

D．some people can’t get out of a burning building

【4】Which is the RIGHT thing to do?

A．Wait for the operator’s words to end the call.

B．Tell the operator what has happened and hang up.

C．Test if your phone can get through to 911.

D．Tell the operator everything as quickly as possible.

【5】Which is NOT true according to the passage?

A．911 is an emergency number almost throughout the United States.

B．We haven’t got a worldwide universal（通用的）emergency number yet.

C．Usually phone books list emergency call numbers.

D．The dog Faith pressed the three numbers 911.

24、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。

Last fall, many people shared social media(社交媒体) posts about scary clowns(可怕的小丑). The online posts said people dressed as clowns were waiting near schools planning to hurt students.

The clown story scared many people-but not the students in Diane Gardner's class Ms. Gardner teaches eighth-grade language arts. Her class did not believe the clown story.

“Some people got scared because they never looked into seeing who was posting the stories they were reading on social media,” said 13-year-old Patricia Rose from Ms. Gardner's class, “Sometimes people read just one story and automatically believed it was true,” her classmate Ivy Brooks added. “They should look to see where the story came from. Is it from a news group? Is it just a rumor- a circulating(流传的) story of uncertain truth?”

The posts were actually not written by reporters. Many posts like these were made by teenagers who did not have any proof (证据)of what they were posting. In the end, the clown story turned out to be a joke. It was fake news, or news that is wrong on purpose.

There are different kinds of fake news. Some have facts with incorrect information in them. A fact is something that can be proven true. Other fake news stories are opinions, but pretend (伪装)to be facts. An opinion is something a person thinks. Opinions change from person to person. Fake news is a problem because it spreads(传播)wrong information.

Being able to spot(认出) fake news is an increasingly important skill today. Stories spread lightning-fast online. It is also easier than ever to share incorrect information. Almost anyone can make a website where lies look like facts.

This can make it hard to know what real news is. That is why Ms Gardner is teaching her students to think critically(审判地) so that they can avoid falling for fake stories.

In her class, Ms. Gardner often points out that the first step when reading news is to slow down. “First, stop and think,”she says. “Then, ask yourself some questions: Is there any proof in the story? Where is this story coming from? Did the writer have a reason to make up this story?”

Her students have also learned and practiced these things. After they read a news story, they decide if the news story has mostly facts, or mostly opinions. Then they check the facts, they do more research to see if the story is right.

To test her students Gardner showed them a website about an animal called the pacific Northwest Tree Octopus. The website is full of information on this tree-climbing sea creature. It even has a few unclear pictures. But, just like the scary clowns, it's totally made up.

Ms. Gardner said this was a good lesson for her students. She wanted them to double-check the information they see. Her advice is simple: “_________”

【1】At the beginning of the passage, the writer mentions the clown story to_________.

A.show that students aren't scared easily

B.warn that clowns could be dangerous to students.

C.suggest that stories spread online can sometimes be fake.

D.prove that stories not written by reporters are made up

【2】According to the passage, a good reader of news would probably_________.

A.spot opinions in stories that pretend to be facts

B.do more research to check the opinions in the story

C.avoid falling for fake stories by reading very slowly

D.believe a story that includes more facts than opinions

【3】What advice might Ms Gardner give her students?

A.Question everything. B.Never spread fake news.

C.Act quickly, think slowly. D.Read today, lead tomorrow.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Stories that spread fast online are most likely fake news.

B.Patricia Rose hates people who post stories on the Internet.

C.Ms Gardner believes social media is harmful to her students.

D.Social media has made it easier and faster to spread fake news.
