21、During the outbreak of Coronavirus, people have got creative with ways to get everyday tasks done. Maria Botero, a resident and business owner in Medellín, Colombia is one of those creative thinkers who has a new system in place to go about addressing her day to day workload. Owner of a local mini-market called El Porvenir, Botero has sought the help of her dog, Eros, to complete deliveries to some of their regular customers.
Eros, an eight-year-old dog, has been with the Botero family for several years now. Before she met Eros, Maria was uncertain to get a dog. However, her son’s repeated demands finally persuaded her to make up her mind. They welcomed Eros into their lives, and he’s been part of the family ever since.
When they opened their mini-market four years ago, the Boteros would bring Eros along for their daily deliveries. Thanks to a big brain and lots of treats, Eros gradually learned the names of some of their regular customers. When told someone’s name that he’s familiar with, he’s able to make his way to the person’s home alone. When the COVID-19 pandemic got bad in Colombia and the government began restricting citizens’ ability to go out and buy groceries freely, Maria knew it was time to put Eros’ skills to good use.
Climbing the hilly neighborhood of Tulipanes with the handle of a basket held tightly in his mouth, Eros completes deliveries on a daily basis. Once he arrives at his destination, the customers know that tipping in the form of treats and lots of pats is a must. He’s such a good boy, after all! Inside the basket, Maria leaves a receipt(收据) for the goods delivered. Customers can pay via a simple online transfer.

【2】What does Eros do for Maria during the COVID-19 pandemic?

D.He pleases customers with some new skills.
【3】What can we learn about Eros?
A.He was ever a pet of a customer’s.
B.He carried shopping baskets for Maria before.
C.He used to follow Maria around the neighborhood.
D.He usually went to people’s homes for treats alone.
【4】How do the customers react to Eros’ work?

23、What’s really green?
Most of us are aware that we must take care of the environment, and the majority of us take steps to save energy and reduce waste and pollution. But recently, some “green truths” have been shown to be only half true, or even completely false. 【1】
Paper shopping bags are better than plastic ones.
Plastic bags cause litter and are a danger to wild animals, which mistake them for food. It takes hundreds of years for plastic to break down, but much less time for paper. Because of this, people think paper bags are the better environmental choice.
However, making a paper bag uses four times as much energy as making a plastic bag and up to three times the amount of water. 【2】 In fact, both kinds of bags are bad for the environment. So, take a reusable bag with you when you go shopping.
【3】
It seems like common sense: eating local food should be better for the environment, because it does not need to be transported long distances and kept cold during transport. 【4】 It is the production of food, not its transport, that uses most of the energy and produces most of the greenhouse gases. In some cases, local produce might have used more energy and produced more greenhouse gases than produce grown a long way away-even taking into account its transport.
It’s better to take a shower than a bath.
【5】 If you spend more than eight minutes in a shower, you’ll use as much water as in a bath-about 50 litres of water. Therefore, the key is to keep your shower time as short as possible.
Environmental awareness is now part of daily life. But it’s worth checking common ideas and opinions to see what’s really green.
A.So say no to plastic bags.
B.Here are some common ones.
C.Unfortunately, it is not that simple.
D.Eating local food is good for the environment.
E.The process also produces more greenhouse gases.
F.It’s time that we took measures to protect our environment.
G.It depends on how long you spend in the shower and how large your bath is.
24、 One morning, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held a sign which said, “I am blind, Please help me.”
There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the news words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving the money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked.” Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?
The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way.” What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day, but I can not see it.”
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.
