24、Everyone gets angry. Many things may make you angry. Maybe your teacher gave you too much homework. Or maybe a friend borrowed your favorite video game and then broke it. You may get angry when something doesn’t go your way. Maybe you get mad at yourself when your team loses an important game. Or maybe you become a road rager (路怒族) when a driver suddenly cuts in front of you. That makes you angry! You need to know what to do with your anger. Here are some things you can do when you feel angry:

▲Talk to a friend you can believe in.

▲Count to 10.

▲Get or give a hug.

▲Take some exercise.

▲Draw a picture of your anger.

▲Play a video game.

▲Run around the outside of the house five times as fast as you can.

▲Sing along with the CD player.

▲Think about good things (maybe about a fun vacation or your favorite sport).

▲Take a bike ride, go skating, play basketball—do something active!

Never getting angry is impossible. But when you’re angry, you can do something and it can make things better or worse. Don’t let anger be the boss of you. Be in control of it.

25、   My name is Wu Zhou. I have lived in Canada for twenty-three years. In Canada, I call myself Joe Wu. Joe is an English name that sounds like Zhou.

Though I have lived here for a long time, I still don’t feel Canadian. This is probably because there are so many differences between Chinese manners and North American ones.

In China, if someone says that your English is excellent, you should be modest（谦虚的） and say, “Oh, no. My English is still poor.” But in North America, this is usually a sign of being weak and not confident. People just say, “Thank you.”

In Canada, people only ask children about their ages. It’s not polite to ask about an adult’s age. They think it is private. But in China this is common in many places.

In China, it is polite to offer an elderly person a seat on the bus. In North America, however, an elderly person may feel embarrassed（不好意思的） about being offered a seat.

When Chinese people eat out in restaurants, they may take turns to pay for the meal. In Canada, however, people often share the cost of a meal.

In China, if there is no food left on guests’ plates, it’s polite to put food on them. In Canada, people pass food to guests, but seldom put food on their plates.

In China, guests seldom give money to waiters, waitresses, taxi drivers or hotel workers to show thanks. In North America, this is always done. It is called “tipping”.

It’s interesting to experience two different cultures. I think understanding cultural differences really helps us to understand each other, live together and work together.

【1】Wu Zhou is a person who_____________ .

A.feels Canadian B.is weak and not confident

C.is called Joe Wu in Canada D.has lived in China for 23 years

【2】The underlined word “tipping” refers to “_____________”.

A.giving money to show thanks B.paying for the meal

C.offering a seat to an old person D.passing food to guests

【3】Elderly Canadians might feel_____________  when they are offered seats on the buses.

A.happy B.embarrassed C.comfortable D.worried

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A.Canadian Culture B.Different Manners

C.Hard Life in Canada D.A Person Named Wu Zhou

26、Omar Chajam is a wise old man who lives in a small town. One day when he was walking down the street, he met a man who was always jealous (嫉妒的) of him. The man came up and began saying something bad to Chajam,“You are a drinker! You are a thief! You are an idiot!”

Chajam didn’t care. He just smiled and walked on.

Another man dressed very well saw this. He didn’t understand and asked Chajam,“How can you bear such offences (冒犯)? Don’t you feel hurt?”

Chajam smiled again and said,“Come with me. I’ll show you something.”

The man followed Chajam to a dusty (落满灰尘的) room. Chajam lighted the candles and began searching through a pile of old clothes. Then he found a completely worthless robe (长袍). He threw it to the man and said,“Try it, it will suit you.”

The man took the robe and looked at it. It was so old that it even had some holes in it.

“What are these dirty rags (破布) for?”asked the man angrily.“I am well dressed. You must be crazy!”He threw the robe back.

“You see,”Chajam said,“you didn’t want to try on the rags. Similarly, I did not want to try those dirty words that man threw at me. To get angry by offences means to try on rags someone throw us. Now you see?”

【1】How did Chajam behave when someone said dirty words to him?

A. He showed his anger to the man.

B. He said something bad of the man.

C. He felt hurt but pretended to be calm.

D. He kept smiling and didn’t care about it.

【2】 A well-dressed man was _____ when he saw what had happened to Chajam.

A. excited   B. surprised   C. sacred   D. moved

【3】What did Chajam ask the well-dressed man to do in the dusty room?

A. To light on some candles.

B. To find some old clothes.

C. To try on a poor robe.

D. To clean some dirty rags.

【4】What is the main message of the story?

B. Never judge a person by his or her appearance.

C. It is important to keep a cool head in the face of difficulties.

D. Smiling is the best way to push back others’ bad behavior.

27、If you were to look in your wallet right now, you might be lucky enough to find some money. Even though credit and debit cards are more popular than ever, most people still carry around a few bills with them. Paper money is something we are all familiar with, but is it really made out of paper?

Regular paper is made out of wood cellulose (纤维素),which is a product that comes from trees. Paper-makers mix chemicals with the wood to break it down into cellulose fibers (纤维). Machines then press these fibers together and roll them into thin sheets to create the material we call paper. When paper gets wet, the cellulose fibers become very weak. This can cause most paper to completely fall apart when it is wet.

Paper money is not made out of this material. Think about the last time you found a dollar in the pocket of pants that went through the washing machine. The dollar was probably a bit wrinkled (皱的),but it did not completely fall apart because of getting wet.

Money is not made from the same paper that you write on. It is made out of something called “rag paper”. Rag paper is a mixture of 75% cotton and 25% linen (亚麻布). Cotton and linen fibers do not become weak when they get wet. They are much stronger than cellulose fibers. Unlike regular paper, money can be folded many times without causing serious damage to the bill. According to a U.S. Government blog,“it takes about 4.000 double folds (first forward and then backwards) before a paper bill will tear.” The material that money is made out of is much stronger and much more durable than regular paper.

【1】The underlined sentence in the last paragraph is most likely to ____________.

A．remind readers to be more careful with their money

B．explain the correct way to fold money

C．describe what happens when money gets wet

D．show how much stronger paper money is than regular paper

【2】The underlined word “durable” is closest in meaning to ____________.

A．colorful

B．long-lasting

C．expensive

D．traditional

【3】We can learn ____________ from the passage.

A．the history of paper money

B．the material of paper money

C．the meaning of paper money

D．the process of making paper money

28、语法填空

 阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文的连贯性，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空（每空不多于3个单词）。

Which is better, writing or typing？These days, many college students have given up   【1】 (take) class notes by hand. Instead, they type on laptops（手提电脑） 【2】   they think typing is fast, and they can write more notes. But a new research has【3】 (show) that taking notes by hand is in fact better for long-term memory.

 In this research, students were asked to listen 【4】   a teacher. Some took notes by typing on a laptop. The 【5】 (other) took notes by writing them down. Then they were given a test. Both groups got almost the same result in 【6】   (remember) the facts. But students who typed their notes did worse on conceptual (需要理解的) questions.

 Why is it like this? The answer is that writing by hand is slow, 【7】 it gives the students more time to think about the questions they don’t understand. They are able  【8】   (write) down the main points. “This leads to a 【9】_______ (deep) understanding,” say the scientists.

 However, the students typing notes on a laptop 【10】_______ (usual) just write down what the teacher says word for word in class. Although they can write more notes, they just type   really thinking about what they are typing. “This usually leads to mindless transcription(抄录),” say the scientists.

 So if you want to remember something better, write it by hand！
