21、Last Friday afternoon, a group of boys and girls were standing together in the school. They were wearing traditional Chinese clothing, waiting for their parents to put a hat on their head or stick a hairpin(簪) in their hair. These young people were having their coming-of-age ceremony (成人礼). We usually see coming-of-age ceremonies in TV, films and books. In fact, it is an important event in almost every culture.
In the United States, turning sixteen is a big deal. Most teenagers get their driver’s licenses at 16. Girls have “sweet 16” birthday parties when they turn sixteen to celebrate the coming of age. They usually wear pretty clothes and have a special dance with their father.
In Japan, Coming of Age Day is a national holiday on the second Monday in January every year. People who are twenty years old all officially(正式地) dress up on this day. Girls wear make-up and put on kimonos (和服). Boys wear a man’s kimono or a smart suit. They all go to streets, take photos, and have fun to enjoy their big day together.
In Germany, the coming-of-age ceremony is called Jugendfeier. It seems to be more thought-provoking because during this ceremony, a teacher will always give a speech to young adults, telling them adulthood brings not only joy, but also more responsibilities(责任).

A.wear traditional Chinese traditional clothing

22、 We all enjoy the colors of autumn leaves. Did you ever wonder how and why a leaf changes color? Where do the yellows and oranges come from? To answer those questions, we first have to understand what leaves are and what they do.
Leaves are the world's food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots and take CO2 from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2 into glucose(葡萄糖), a kind of sugar. Plants use it as food for energy and growing.
A chemical called “chlorophyll(叶绿素)” in the leaves gives plants their green color. As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter, and trees “know” it's time to begin getting ready for winter.
During winter, there is not enough sunlight or water. Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer. They begin to shut down their foodmaking factories. As the green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, we begin to see yellow and orange leaves.
The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn. In some trees, like maples(枫树), sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn the glucose in the leaves into a red color. And we can enjoy the beautiful red leaves during autumn.
【1】Which of the following can you put in the box?
sunlight + + CO2 → glucose
A.water B.sugar C.wind D.air
【2】Why do the leaves turn yellow in autumn?
A.Because they are short of glucose and energy.
B.Because they are short of sunlight and water.
C.Because they are short of sunlight and CO2.
D.Because they are short of water and CO2.
【3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.When autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter.
B.During winter, trees live on the food they store in summer.
C.Trees begin to stop making food and to have a rest in summer.
D.During winter, some of yellow and orange colors are still in the leaves.
【4】What's the main idea about the passage?
A.It tells us all kinds of plants on the earth.
B.It tells us the plants can grow well with the sunlight.
C.It tells us maple leaves change the color as other trees.
D.It tells not all the colors of the leaves are from chlorophyll.
23、We do eye exercises. We wear sunglasses. We do lots of things to protect our eyes. But we usually forget another important part of our body—the ears.
Ears help us hear the world. 【1】 Once this happens, it’s hard to get your hearing back. So how can we protect our ears? Let’s take a look together.
【2】
Dry your ears with a towel (毛巾) after swimming or taking a bath. If you feel water in your ear, shake your head a little bit. This can help you get the water out of your ear. 【3】 During the winter, protect your ears with a hat or a scarf.
Keep your ears clean
Usually, our ears clean themselves. The earwax (耳屎) builds up, dries out, and then comes out of the ear along with some dirt (污垢).
Don’t clean your ears with anything sharp (尖锐的), or it can make the earwax go too deep into your ears and hurt them. 【4】
How to use headphones
Don’t listen to loud music on your headphones (耳机) for a long time. Follow the 60: 60rule: listen to music at 60 percent of your headphones’ maximum volume (最大音量) for no more than 60 minutes a day.
【5】 They do a better job of stopping outside noise so you can listen at a lower volume.
A.How to use your ears.
B.Keep your ears dry and warm.
C.Over-the-ear headphones are better than in-ear ones.
D.But if your ears start to hurt, you can go to a doctor for help.
E.But many things, such as loud noises, can cause hearing loss (听力丧失).
F.Also, when the sun is shining, wear some sunscreen (防晒霜) on your ears.
