I don’t only work in the street. I also work in restaurants and cafe. I sit at a table like a customer or stand like a waiter. I work for birthday parties, too.

22、I felt very sad because I was not able to get a ticket to the film Hero last Friday. I learned from the newspaper that tickets could be bought at the theater box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 a. m. and 4:00 p. m. As I work from 9:00 a. m. to 5:30 p. m., the only time I can go to the theater is during my 45 minutes’ lunchtime. It is a pity that the theater is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my company（公司）and Richland Hills is not very good. But if I am lucky, I can make the round trip in 45 minutes.

Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip, so I had to go back. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theater in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man said he had been waiting in line for over an hour. I found I would not have enough time to wait in line. I caught the next bus and went back across the town.

By Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theater, I was glad to see that nobody was waiting in line. But I quickly found out that it was because they had sold out all the tickets.

B．three times

C．four times

D．five times

【3】We can learn from the underlined sentence（划线句子）that the writer was ________.

A．sorry

C．surprised

D．disappointed

【4】In the end, the writer got ________ ticket(s).

A．no

B．one

C．two

D．three

【5】What do you think of the writer in the text?

23、根据短文内容，判断句子正 (T) 误 (F)，并将所选的答案涂到答题卡的相应位置上。

We always use “suan (sour) , tian (sweet) , ku (bitter) and xian (salty) ” in Chinese to describe different tastes of food. And in fact, we can know what people are like from their food tastes.

In Sichuan, people like salty food. And we know people in the place usually speak more loudly than those in other places. Some studies show that people can get excited after eating salty food and this is why they speak more loudly. Sometimes after eating salty food, people can also become unhappy or angry more easily than others. Some people think maybe this is because they eat too much salt and don’t drink enough water, but others don’t think so.

People in Wuxi often eat sweet food. Studies show that these people usually feel happier than others. This is because they eat sweet food, then dopamine (多巴胺) appears in people’s bodies. It can make people become happier and feel like eating more. These people are also usually friendlier.

Some people like sour food, but some can’t stand it. Some studies find if a person likes sour food, he usually likes to try new and exciting things.

What about bitter food? Well, most people seem to dislike it. But food like bitter gourds (苦瓜) is really good for us.

【1】A person may get angry more easily if he eats too much salty food.

【2】From the passage, you could try to eat sweet ice-cream if you feel unhappy.

【3】Someone who likes sour food may like to try something new.

【4】All people dislike bitter food, because it is bad for us.

【5】The passage tells us we can’t know people at all by their food tastes.

24、阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

It's a 【1】(surprise) thing for me. I found my phone didn't work. 【2】 first, I found I couldn't unlock it. Twenty 【3】(minute) later, I found its face was black. I couldn't turn 【4】 on. As a result, I began a two­day life without a phone. It was Saturday the next day, but I 【5】(plan) to find somewhere to fix my phone. The first step was that I went to the store where I bought it. The boss of the store told me, “Oh, dear, that's... not good.” I felt quite unhappy when I heard the bad news. It took me a whole day 【6】(look) for places to fix my phone, 【7】 I didn't find one. On Sunday, I had no phone to wake me up, so I used my alarm clock. I had no phone to play games as usual after I got up, so I started to listen to music on the radio. In the morning, I went out to play soccer 【8】(happy) in the park near my home. I went shopping with my parents in the afternoon. I truly didn't read books 【9】 play games on the phone for two days. What 【10】 amazing experience for me!
