24、"Three apples have changed the world. One is for Eve, one is for Newton. The third is in the hands of Steve Jobs. " said someone.

Steve J obs was the former CEO of the Apple computer company in his parents' garage (车库) on April Fool's Day, 1976.  Through many years' hard work, J obs and his Apple products were a great success. People believe he has made the world a better place. Many young people also think of Apple products as a fashion icon.

Because of his great achievements in this area, he was honored with a number of awards, including the National Medal of Technology in 1985, the Times cover character(封面人物) and the Most Successful Manager in 1997. Jobs' road to success wasn't an easy one.  He experienced several ups and downs, but he was still standing.

On one hand, some workers described him as a strange, bad-tempered (坏脾气的) boss. They said he was impatient with those who disagreed with him or didn't understand his ideas.

25、Height is just one of the features your genes (基因) decide. In fact, because

you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere

between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then most probably

you will be tall, too. But if you have questions about how tall you’re going to be,

ask your doctor if he or she can help you find them out.

But genes don’t decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential (潜力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.

It’s natural that you’re wondering how fast you should grow. There’s no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 6 cm a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty.

Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. 2 cm here and 3 cm there make a little difference to the height you’re at now. How have you been growing up to this height? What other changes may your body be going through?

Don’t be amazed if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt (高峰) during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later — between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.

You’ll usually begin to notice that you’re growing faster about a year after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.

【1】 If you want to know how tall you should grow, _______.

A. you should have enough exercise

B. you can record your growth during puberty

C. you should take some special medicine

D. you can ask doctors for help

【2】The Chinese for the word “puberty” is _______.

A. 童年时期  B. 婴幼儿时期

C. 生长发育期  D. 习惯养成期

【3】This passage is mainly about ______.

A. how the genes work in your body

B. how your parents’ height influence you

C. how you look like your parents

D. how you grow to a certain height

【4】After reading this passage, we can explain ______.

A. how good it is to be a doctor

B. how much sleep time we need

C. why genes can’t decide everything

D. what healthy diet is

【5】 Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. Girls’ age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for boys’.

B. Your height most probably depends on how tall your parents are.

C. The features showing the first changes of puberty between boys and girls are different.

D. You may be amazed sometimes when you grow too fast.

26、Is there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don’t really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness(痛苦)

Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive(原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But Instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.

Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an anger person for very long.

If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.

Accept it

Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.

Stop making excuses for it

You may feel you have a right to be anger. You may think you’re right  and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.

Forgive and forget it

You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.

【1】According to the passage, we might get angry when someone ______.

A．holds us back  B．forgets us

C．doesn’t like us  D．does hurt us

【2】Bitterness comes from_______.

A．our health problems like heart disease

B．the anger that lives deep inside our mind

C．the person who says something that hurts us

D．our relation with friends and family members

【3】The underlined word “deny” in the passage means “_____’’.

A．误解   B．否认    C．疏远   D．减轻

【4】 The best way to deal with the bitterness is to ______.

A．make the person who hurts us look bad

B．hate the person who hurts us very often

C．accept that you are hurting the other person

D．forgive the person who hurts us and forget it

【5】What can we learn from the passage?

A．We should enjoy someone who hurts us.

B．We should pay more attention to our friends.

C．The peace of mind is more important than the hurt itself.

D．It’s better to let bitterness go along with the other person.

27、Small talk is a popular way of getting to know someone, getting into a school or job, or just passing the time. But do you think you’re good at it? If not, then it’s never too late to learn.

Talking about unimportant things like the weather, small talk still plays an important part in our daily life. Brett Nelson gave many reasons in Forbes Magazine.

It’s completely free. It doesn’t matter if you fail, and you never know where it will go—it “can lead to many results, from a pleasant talk to the signing of a million—dollar business deal”, according to Nelson. The benefits to small talk don’t stop there. It can also make us smarter, as a study by researchers at the University of Michigan found that friendly, social interaction（互动）could help us solve problems.

You may be wondering how best to break the ice. If you and the other speaker have something in common, that may also be acceptable to talk about. For example, if the bus you are on is full, you might talk about the reasons why. Complimenting（恭维）someone on their clothing or hair is acceptable; however, if you bring up something like death or serious news, you will turn people off.

【1】What does the writer think of small talk?

A．Impolite.

B．Traditional.

C．Important.

D．Difficult.

【2】What does the underlined word “benefits” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．益处.

B．策略.

C．风险.

D．主题.

【3】What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

A．The rules of complimenting others.

B．The best ways to start small talk.

C．The importance of breaking the ice.

D．The reasons for turning people off.
