23、Before the invention of the postage stamp, it was difficult to send a letter to another country.  The sender paid for the letter to travel in his or her own country. 【1】 If a letter crossed several countries, the problem was worse.

Rowland Hill, a British teacher, had the idea of postage stamp with glue on the back. The British post office made the first stamps in 1840. There were the Penny Black and the Two Pence Blue. A person bought a stamp and put it on a letter. 【2】When people received letters, they didn’t have to pay anything. The postage was prepaid.

Postage stamps became popular in Great Britain immediately. Other countries started making their own postage stamps very quickly. But some countries didn’t want to accept letters with stamps from others. 【3】 Each country in the UPU agreed to accept letters with prepaid postage from other members. And now almost every country in the world is a member of this organization. 【4】

Today post offices in every country sell beautiful stamps. Collecting stamps is one of the most popular hobbies in the world, and every stamp collector knows about the Penny Black and the Two pence Blue.

24、   I'm David. Long ago, I came to the city near my hometown to find job. I met all kinds of difficulties and I used up all my money soon.

It was dark outside one day. I got on a bus quietly. Suddenly, a passenger cried in a loud voice, "Someone has stolen my money!" I felt nervous, because his money was in my hand. Some people suggested the driver drive the bus to the police station, but some were against it because they were in a hurry to go back home. The whole bus was very noisy. The driver then stopped the bus by the roadside and turned on the lights. At that time, one passenger said, "Turn off the lights and give the thief a chance to take out the money." Then the bus got dark when I was still thinking about whether to take out the money or not. The lights were on again. There was no money on the floor. Someone said again, "Give him one more chance." The lights were turned off again. I became even more nervous. The lights were turned on again, but they got the same result. Then the passengers fell into an open discussion. Later, someone said, "Give him the last chance!" I felt awakened and took out all the money when the lights were turned off again.

For many years I have been grateful to those who gave me three chances. When the first and second chances come, you may not be prepared well or don't have enough courage to act. When the third chance comes, you should know clearly what you should do.

25、I asked my dad if I’d ever made him cry because I couldn’t remember ever seeing him cry. “There was once,” he said.

26、Nowadays, people always make resolutions to give up sugar, but they always end up with failure. Why is sugar so powerful, and how can you beat it?

Many sugar cravings(渴求) come from a blood sugar imbalance(失衡). When your body takes in sugar, your blood sugar quickly goes up and your body let insulin(胰岛素) out to lower it to a safer level. But if the insulin brings your blood sugar level too low, your body will want more food to raise it and increase your energy. You are on a blood sugar roller coaster that is hard to get off.

Some sugar cravings are from your brain as a result of lifestyle. Always being stressed is like begging for trouble. For example, if you are too stressed, you will be thirsty for sugar to cheer yourself up. Besides, poor sleep can also lead to overeating sugar, because you need energy to free yourself from tiredness.

Sometimes we experience cravings that are nothing but a habit. Perhaps you watched your parents overeat sugar throughout your childhood. Now you do the same, eating pie, for example, even you are not hungry at all. Or you may have spent years eating sweet food like chocolate or ice cream to reduce sadness.

The key to dealing with sugar cravings is to eat foods that stop too much insulin from being released(释放). Healthy fats and protein(蛋白质) are good choices. Eating plenty of healthy fats such as nuts and olive oil, can help your body get its energy elsewhere. Protein helps you feel satisfied, which can cut down hunger. When you feel energized and full, you may not want more food with high sugar. Making a plan to change your life into a healthy one also helps.

You may find it is hard to give up sugar totally. But once you start to deal with it, you may find yourself more energetic and can enjoy a smoother ride on a flat road. So, hopefully, you can beat sugar and have a healthy life.

【1】According to the passage, which of the following best shows how blood sugar changes after someone eats something sweet?

A．

B．

C．

D．

【2】According to the passage, we may develop the bad sugar habit because ________.

A．high sugar foods are usually more attractive

B．we like to eat high sugar foods when we are happy

C．we followed the examples of our parents to overeat

D．it’s common for us to feel hungry from time to time

【3】According to the passage, we CANNOT reduce sugar cravings by ________.

A．getting enough sleep at night

B．having a high-protein breakfast

C．actively dealing with stress

D．overeating chocolate and ice-cream

【4】The structure of the passage may be ________.

A．

B．

C．

D．

27、Nowadays there are different ideas about competition. Value it highly, believing that it is good for social development. However, others say that competition is bad and that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

I have taught many children. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death events. In their mind what they really want is going for success, and the development of many other qualities is sadly forgotten.

However, while some seem to be lost on the way to success, others take an opposite opinion. Many people are strongly against competition. Among them, most are young people who have suffered from such pressure from their parents. They seem to look for failure by not trying to win or achieve success.________, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” They don’t want to admit (承认) that if they have really tried and lost, that would mean more.

Clearly, this belief is the same as that of those who try to prove themselves. Both come from the wrong belief that self-confidence depends on how well one does by comparing with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. If such fear begins to be unimportant, we can have a better knowledge of competition.

【1】Winning is really ________ for the children who like competition in the passage.

A．interesting

B．unfriendly

C．important

D．unexpected

【2】Which of the following should be put in the blank in Paragraph 3?

A．By not trying

B．By not losing

C．By not caring

D．By not thinking

【3】What is the structure of this passage?

A．

B．

C．

D．

【4】How does the writer make these different ideas clear to the readers?

A．By giving explanations.

B．By giving examples.

C．By giving excuses.

D．By giving suggestions.

28、When I was a little girl, I found love in a box all because of a class assignment. On a Friday night I said at the dinner table, “My teacher told us to bring a box, a special box, for our Valentines（情人节）on Monday.”

Mother said, “We’ll see”, and she continued e【1】. What did “We’ll see” mean? I had to have that box, or my second grade Valentine’s Day would be a disaster. Maybe they didn’t love me enough to help me with my project.

All Saturday I waited unhappily and with Sunday arriving, my care increased, but I knew the need about the box might cause anger or loud voice, f【2】 in my house children only asked once. More than that invited trouble.

Late Sunday morning, my father called me into the kitchen. The table was covered with colorful paper of different kinds. An e【3】 shoebox rested on top of it. Daddy said, “Let’s get started on your project.”

In the next hour my father c【4】 the shoebox into a wonderful valentine box. Colorful paper covered the ugly cardboard with red hearts. He sang while he worked. When he finished, he was so pleased that a big smile spread over his face. “What do you think of that?” he asked. I answered him with a hug. But inside, joy danced all the way to my heart. It was the f【5】 time that my father spent so much time with me.

The holiday party arrived, and my classmates put cards and p【6】 into the valentine boxes. Laughter filled our classroom until school was over. On the way home, I held my valentine box carefully. The love that filled it meant m【7】 to me than all inside.

The valentine box became a symbol of his love that lasted through other Valentine’s Days. He gave me other gifts through the years, but none ever compared with the love I felt within the limits of this old, empty shoebox.
