25、   The third preparatory（预备的） meeting for the Shenzhen First Session International Hydrogen and Fuel Cell（燃料电池） Leaders Summit was held on November 28 in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. Nearly 100 experts attended it. The theme of the meeting was “Energy revolution（革命）, hydrogen (氢) changes the world”.

At present, because of climate change, the world is developing this energy. It doesn’t contain carbon. Many countries have made a plan for hydrogen. Japan, Germany and the US are the leading ones. China has used different policies to encourage the development of hydrogen since 2016. It will become a kind of very important energy like electricity in the future.

Yu Yiping, chairman of the board of directors at Scientific Valley Group, said, “In order to prepare the summit, we’ve done lots of work. We went to other countries, such as Germany, France and the US, to learn experience. We also went to California, the US to learn about the hydrogen production, storage and transportation, and the construction of hydrogen refueling(补给燃料） stations.” Du Zheng, vice director of the Nanshan District Science, Technology and Innovation Bureau, said, “We are pushing forward the development of hydrogen in three ways: the planning of the hydrogen industry, the policy guidance and the building of some basic facilities, such as hydrogen refueling stations.”

26、Just a couple of hours ago, I was on the plane, ready to fly home from London. The flight had been put off by a few hours so it felt good to be so close to take-off. I had my iPod in place and a new book to read. Then, over the loudspeaker came the pilot’s voice: “We’re sorry to tell you we must cancel this flight because there’s still something wrong with the plane.”

The passengers’ reactions(反应)that announcement led to were interesting. One man close to me began to argue with an air hostess. A couple in another row complained loudly. A businessman in a black suit even kicked the seat in front of him. Yet some passengers acted differently. An elderly gentleman smiled as he helped others take their bags down from the shelf. A teenager, rather than trying to rush off the plane like most of the other passengers, stopped to help a woman with a disability. The lady sitting next to me laughed and said: “Hey, it’s not the end of the world,” before she made a call to her kids and shared her adventure with them.

No life is perfect; mine certainly isn’t. We all must face challenges, both large and small. You and I have the power to choose to rise above the external circumstances(外部环境). We always have the choice to be strong and kind when we are in trouble.

My seatmate was right — things didn’t get that terrible. Anyway, I am safe. I have my health. I have two wonderful children. I have work I love and so much to be grateful for. Sure I now have to wait a few hours to catch the next flight home.

【1】What caused the passengers’ different reactions?

A. The loudspeaker.   B. The airhostess.

C. The plane’s problem.   D. The pilot’s announcement.

【2】Who turned his anger on the seat?

A. A teenager helping the disabled.   B. An old man taking bags down.

A. She complained loudly.   B. She made a phone call to her family.

A. Our life is full of ups and downs.   B. It is natural to be scared and angry in trouble.

C. We should help each other .   D. Keep calm and hopefulwhen life is hard.

27、When I was young, I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad. He was a mail carrier, and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always fun: There were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did.

On Dad's final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailboxes to thank him for his friendship and his years of service. Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. One note left in a mailbox read, “Nat, take these eggs to Marian; she's baking a cake and doesn't have any eggs.” A young girl wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps. One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank. Once, the amount came to $32,000.

A dozen years ago, when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad's death, the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasn't the case.

As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, which supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those boxes. I made a turn at the corner and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house.

Frank Townsend, Dad's postmaster and great friend for many years. So we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.

At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes. “What are we going to do about the letters this Christmas？”he asked.

“The letters？”

“I guess you never knew.”

“Knew what？”

“Remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa boxes on Main Street? It was your dad who answered all those letters every year.”

I just sat there with tears in my eyes. It wasn't hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old oak table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one. I have since spoken with several of the people who received Christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.

For me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.

【1】It can be inferred from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with Dad as ________.

A. exciting experiences with a lot of fun

28、   An old man lived in a village. He was one of the 【1】(粗鲁的) people in the world. He was always unhappy and always in a bad mood. When people tried to【2】 (使…振奋) him up, he would turn them away.

The way he acted made other feel the same way that he did. It was【3】 (不平常的) and impolite to feel happy around him. By behaving like this he made the【4】(剩余的) of the village feel unhappy as well. However, one day- the day he turned 80 years old, in fact- an unbelievable thing happened. He was no longer angry.【5】(代替), he seemed kind and friendly. The villages said among【6】(他们自己): “The old man is happy today. He hasn't complained about anything He is smiling and he looks 【7】(沉着的，平静的) and kind.”

The whole village went to see him. They couldn't believe it. “Nothing【8】(特别的) has happened, in fact,” the man said. “For 80 years I've been looking for happiness, and it was no【9】(利用，使用). And then I decided to live without happiness and just enjoy life. That's why I'm happy now.”
