21、   After a car crash left 14-year-old Collin Smith paralyzed, doctors told him he had a 20 percent chance of finishing high school. The opportunity to attend college seemed even slimmer. Yet eight years later, Collin earned a bachelor of arts degree. He achieved the nearly impossible--with the help of a kind and generous man five decades his senior.

Emest Greene and his wife attended the same church as Collin and his parents did. The Creenes had moved to the area just nine months earlier. But when Emest heard about Collin' s accident and the fact that his parents would not be able to care full-time for him, he approached Collin's parents with the idea that he looked after the boy while they were at work. The Smiths gratefully accepted.

Emest sought training to care for Collin and then began arriving early on weekday mornings. He would help Collin get out of bed, wash, dress and have breakfast. Then he' d drive Collin to and from school. Then, while the two waited for one of Collin's parents to get home, "We played lot of Monopoly," says Emest with a laugh. At first, the age difference was a challenge but they learned to compromise. "Older folks are just older versions of you," says Collin. "Same people. great stories."

Some days were better than others. "He can't do for himself, so he can be demanding," says Emest. But he attests that Collin's strong will got him through tough times.

After graduation, Collin was accepted to nearby High Point University. Emest accompanied him to every class. On graduation day, Emest received an honorary degree in humanities.

"I was floored, "he says.

Collin wasn't surprised, however. "Emest is a godly example of the way a man should live-calm, modest," he says.

23、Helping and supporting others may be key to living a longer and healthier life, according to a new research from the University of Bagel in Switzerland. The findings published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, show that grandparents who care for their grandchildren enjoy longer lifespans. So do old people who care for others within their social networks.

Using data from the Berlin Aging Study, the researchers analyzed the longevity(寿命) and caregiving habits of more than 500 old people between the ages of 70 and 103. The study compared grandparents who acted as occasional caregivers with those who did not. It also compared these grandparents with old adults who did not have grandchildren but cared for people within their social networks.

Those grandparents who did not play the role of attending to grandchildren were more likely to have died within just five years of the testing period. While those old adults who provided, support to their family lived for an extra seven years on average and those provided support to their social networks lived for an extra four years on average.

Although the new study only focused on old adults, it's safe to assume that the health benefits of helping and taking care of others also reach those of all ages. However, it's important to note that too much caregiving often has just the opposite effect. There's a clear link between too much caregiving and a number of negative physical and mental health consequences.

【1】How many groups of old people are involved in the study?

A．Two.

B．Three.

C．Four.

D．Five.

【2】What does the research show?

A．Old people are more likely to support others.

B．Grandparents live longer than childless old adults.

C．Supporting others prevents diseases of old patients.

D．Helping others properly has a good effect on health.

【3】What does the last paragraph imply?

A．Reducing earegiving can avoid bad health.

B．It's a good quality of all ages to be helpful.

C．Caregiving is not always beneficial to health.

D．Mental disorder is often caused by much caregiving.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It was freezing cold outside. The biting wind was blowing hard. Rosalee pressed her nose against the window. Then she made a wish. “Ready, set—snow,” she whispered. She looked at the sky, but there was no snow. Rosalee closed her eyes again. “Ready, set—SNOW!” she said louder. She stole a quick glance with one eye open. “Not one flake(小薄片)”.

“Be patient, dear. It will snow soon,” said Rosalee’s grandmother Nana. She was setting a plate of warm pizzelle (芝麻脆饼) on the table. Rosalee loved her grandmother’s cookies. Their fancy shapes looked like snowflakes.

“But Grandpa told me it was supposed to snow today,” Rosalee said. It would be the first snow this winter. She had been filled with expectations.

Rosalee’s brother, Marcus, was sitting at the kitchen table. “Today can mean any time between now and midnight,” he pointed out.

Rosalee seemed a little confused. All the signs of snow were there: It looked like it could snow—The sky matched the grey rooftop next door; It felt like snowy weather—When she walked across the yard to check the mailbox that morning, she’d had to wear her hat and gloves and bury her face in a scarf, which made her look like a moving ball at a distance; It even smelled like it could snow—Nana always made pizzelle in a snowy weather.

The cookies cooled on the table, filling the kitchen with their sweet smell, making her mouth water. Nana smiled at Rosalee and handed her a cookie. Rosalee took a bite. Suddenly, an idea struck her. “I know how to make it now,” she said excitedly, jumping off her seat.

“Impossible,” Marcus mumbled(嘟哝), his mouth full.

“You’ll see!” Rosalee disappeared into her room.

An hour later, Rosalee called to her brother, who was in his room reading. “Come into the kitchen with your eyes closed, Marcus.”

“All right.” Marcus appeared in the doorway. His eyelids were closed.

“OK. Ready, set—SNOW!” Rosalee said.
