22、Did you have an experience to achieve something really amazing in life? Well, Greg Mortenson wanted to climb a mountain, but he ended up helping thousands of people to have a better life.

Greg’s story began with failure. In 1993, he set out to climb K2, the world’s second highest mountain. But Greg never made it to the top. After five days, he stumbled (踉跄) into the village of Korphe in northern Pakistan, injured (受伤) and hungry. The kind villagers there looked after him for several days.

Greg saw that the villagers were very poor and hungry, and some of them were ill. Also, the village school didn’t have a roof (屋顶) and the children wrote on the ground with sticks. Greg knew he wanted to do something to help. “I’ll build you a school,” he told the villagers. “I promise.”

Greg went back home to the USA to raise money for the school. He even lived in the car to save money! Finally he went back to Korphe and built the school. But this was just the beginning of something bigger! Later, Greg’s organization has built around 80 schools and runs many others in Pakistan and other countries too.

He does many other things to help people in poor countries. He has got many prizes, but it’s the smiles of the children he has helped that make him happy!

23、Mr. Jenkins liked all kinds of delicious food. As an important officer, he was often asked to dinner. The shopkeepers tried their best to fawn on（巴结）him. They knew it was good for their business.

24、We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions and to communicate with other people. We can learn a lot about what a person is thinking by watching his or her body language. Words are important, but the way a person stands, folds his or her arms, or moves his or her hands can also give us information about his or her feelings.

How close we stand to other people when we are talking varies（不同）greatly from one culture to another. This is because different people have different “comfort zones”. For example, American businessmen usually like to sit across from each other. Japanese businessmen, on the other hand, prefer to sit next to each other and use less contact than Americans. Again, a comfortable “talking space” for Latin Americans is about one-and-a-half feet away from the other person. However, for many Northern Europeans, this is too close. They prefer to keep about three-feet between speakers. Such differences can create communication problems. Latin Americans and Asians often say that the British and Americans are cold and unfriendly. On the other hand, the British and Americans often see other cultures as aggressive. In both examples, the problem is caused by different ideas about personal space. If you stand too close or too far from someone, you might give a wrong idea. For example, some people might stand back to make more space. Maybe they’re only moving into their comfort zones, but the other person might think they’re being distant and impolite.

A．The importance of word communication.

C．About three-feet away from the other person.

D．Less than two-feet away from the other person.

【3】How does the author develop his idea in Paragraph 2?

A．By raising and answering questions.

B．By telling a story.

C．By making a definition（定义）.

D．By providing examples.

25、   Fresh water is very important to people, animals and plants. If there is no water, we all could not l【1】.

Many places in the world need more fresh water. Every country is trying to find w【2】 to turn salt water into fresh water.
