24、Many animals have tails（尾巴）. They use their tails to do many different things.

Some animals use their tails as flyswatters（苍蝇拍）. Have you ever seen a cow shake its tail back and forth? It’s driving away the flies. Horses also use their tails in the same way.

Some animals hang by their tails. Monkeys often do this. Then they can use all four of their paws for other things, such as eating. Monkeys use their tails as a “hanger”, which can help them hang in the trees and climb trees. Animals that live in the water use their tails to help them swim. A fish uses its tail from side to side. A kangaroo has a large, useful tail. It’s like a chair. The kangaroo stands on its tail to rest. It helps the kangaroo stand well. The tail is also good for landing. This is important because an adult kangaroo can jump as far as 15 feet at a time. A fox has a big tail. This is a good tail to have on cold nights. The fox can put its tail over its nose and paws while it sleeps. The tail can keep the fox warm.

Some animals don’t keep their tails with them at all times. If their enemies（敌人）catch them, their tails will break off（折断）. Don’t worry. They will soon grow a new tail. How amazing（令人惊异的）it is!

25、   We are excited when we reach our goals, and at that moment we laugh, clap and so on. Without doubt, good results make us joyful. However, we cannot always get what we want and be the winner all the time. Some people can’t help doubting “Are our efforts in vain?” The answer is “No”. We should remember that we are not only measured(测量)by how many goals we've reached, but how we acted, which means, process is also important.

Here is an example. Fruits are delicious. It takes trees a long time to bear them. In the process of growing, trees have to suffer from bad weather, insect bites and also intentional destructions(故意的破坏) from human beings, So it is with us. Our life is like a journey. At the beginning, we set a goal, dreaming of it every night, but we should never forget that we spend most of our time on the journey. Unfortunately, many people only complain about the failure and then give up hope. In fact, it is the failure that teaches us to be brave and stand on our own.

I myself deeply believe that only those who experienced a lot can own the highly-valued characters, and that only those who adventured(冒险) can have the chance to succeed. It is said “No pain, no gain.” We are still young, still full of energy, so why are we afraid of failure and why do we hesitate(犹豫)to take an adventure?

Young men, let’s forget results, leave out pain, and just look forward and don’t miss any chance on the journey!

【1】Reaching our goals will make us________.

A.laugh at others B.feel pleased C.set another goal

【2】The underlined phrase “in vain” in the first paragraph means “________”.

A.值得 B.益处 C.徒劳

A.no pain, no gain B.we should grow trees to get good fruits C.it's hard for a tree to bear fruits

【4】Only those who________will get really good characters.

A.have gone through a lot B.believe in themselves C.believe that things will better

【5】The best title for the passage is “________”.

A.Failure Is the Mother of Success B.Process Is Also Important C.Don't Doubt Yourself

26、Leo was a small and thin boy living in a small village. Some boys in the village often bullied him and Leo was afraid.

One day, an old wizard went by the village and saw Leo being bullied. So when the bad boys left, he gave Leo a lion’s tail. “It’s a magic tail.” the wizard said, “When someone wears it and acts bravely, he or she will turn into a strong lion.” Leo hung the lion’s tail behind his body and decided to teach the bad boys a lesson.

But when the boys came, Leo was afraid and tried to run away. Yet they caught him. Suddenly, Leo showed the tail and remembered what the wizard had said. He became brave. He looked them in the eyes and said he would make them regret doing that. Leo felt the goose bumps (鸡皮疙瘩) all over his body . “This means that I am turning into a lion.” he thought. The boys ran away in fear. Leo wanted to catch them but he found his legs were as short as before.

When the wizard saw it, he came to Leo. Leo was very happy, though a little disappointed because his lion body had lasted only a short time.

27、Peter Owen has been making wigs (假发) since the 1980s. He has made wigs for the stars of more than seventy movies, including Tom Hanks in Philadelphia, Johnny Depp in Sleepy Hollow, and Nicole Kidman in The Others. One of his biggest jobs so far has been designing the hair and make-up(化妆) for the three Lord of the Rings movies. He had just six weeks to design and make more than a hundred wigs, each one a different style, colour, shape and length.

The hair and make-up in a movie are just as important as the costumes(戏装) or the sets. Over the years, Peter has made actors look older, younger, healthy and sick. For one movie he even made a female actor look like a man!“What people don’t realize about wigs is that we are not always making people more beautiful,” he says. “Often we are covering up beauty and making them look ordinary.”

All Peter’s wigs are hand-made using human hair, so they look as real as possible. This also makes them very expensive―between US$4,500 and US$12,500 each! He knows he’s done a good job when people don’t realize the star of the movie is wearing a wig. So he was pleased when one newspaper said that Nicole Kidman had dyed（染色） her hair dark brown for a movie. “It was a wig and no one knew that,” he says.

【1】What is Peter Owen’s job?

A. An actor   B. A director

C. A wig maker   D. A manager

【2】 How many wigs did Peter make for the three Lord of the Rings movies?

A. More than one hundred. B. Seventy.

C. Sixty.   D. Three hundred.

【3】What special feature（特点）about wigs does Peter mention?

A. They can make people more beautiful.

B. They can change people’s hair styles.

C. They can cover up beauty and make people look ordinary.

D. They can make people look younger.

【4】Why are Peter’s wigs so expensive?

A. They are made in foreign countries.

B. Peter makes the best wigs.

C. They are only made for rich film makers.

D. They are hand-made using human hair.

【5】Which statement is NOT TRUE about Peter?

A. Peter Owen has made wigs for lots of movies.

B. Designing and making the wigs for The Lord of the Rings was a huge job.

C. If people know the star is wearing a wig, Peter will be happy.

D. Peter can make actors look quite different from their real looks.

In 2019, Buyinza Farduk, a boy in Uganda, received a backpack (收到一个背包) filled with school and daily supplies (补给品) . Then he wrote 【1】 letter to thank its sender in China. “Thank you! Although I don’t know who you are,” the letter said, “I hope 【2】 I can go to a university in China in the future.”

Buyinza is one of over a million children who have received such backpacks. In February 2019, the Chinese government started the Panda Pack Project 【3】 give away such backpacks to students in need. It aims (旨在) to improve the learning and living conditions of local students 【4】 help them know more about China.
