24、   I’m the engine that keeps you working, and  I’m here to share some of my secrets. I have 100 billion nerve cells （神经细胞），so you need to consider before you blame （责怪）me for not being so fast enough. It’s not really my fault: information travels through me too fast and sometimes I can’t keep all of it.

The Internet is making me weak. A study found that you’ve been relying more on the Internet. That means I’m going to forget more over time. Scientists have been worried that our ability to think is being lost.

In general, I’m about ten percent larger in men than women. It doesn’t make men smarter. It just lets me control their different bodies. Actually, it’s more common for women to get angry, but men can’t focus on a thing well. They usually have language difficulties.

Your mobile phone scares me. A new study showed that more than one hour of mobile phone use can get me in trouble. Mobile phone radiation （辐射）might cause me to be in a worse situation.

Some parts of me never sleep. It’s important for you to get a good night’s sleep. Sleep helps to improve memories. In fact, when you are asleep, some parts of me are still working hard on my duty. Besides, laughter is really the best medicine for me. So remember to laugh more for my better situation.

【1】What’s the result of depending too much on the Internet?

A. It will make people remember things for a long time.

B. It helps people to remember things more easily.

C. It may affect one’s regular way of thinking.

D. It may make us lose the ability to learn.

A. are easy to get angry B. can’t think carefully about something

C. are much smarter D. usually have language difficulties

25、   Tony, a nine-year-old kid, is sitting at his desk when suddenly he wets (尿湿) his pants. He thinks his heart is going to stop because he can't possibly know how this has happened. It has never happened before. He knows the after-effect (后果) -When the boys find out, he will never hear the end of it. When the girls find out, they'll never speak to him again as long as he lives.

Now all of a sudden, instead of being the person that everyone laughs at, Tony is the person of sympathy (同情). The person that everyone laughs at should be him, but now it is Emily.

She tries to help, but they tell her, "You've done enough, you stupid!"

At the end of the day, as they were waiting for the bus, Tony walks over to Emily and says in a low voice, "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

26、Steve Jobs, the founder and former CEO of Apple, died in 2011 at the age of 56. Jobs had been fighting cancer since 2004.

Even as a young man, Jobs was never one who followed the rules. He dropped out of college after only six months. He quit his first job to backpack around India. Jobs says that those early experiences made him creative. They opened up his mind and helped to create Apple’s “think different” spirit.

As a successful businessman, Steve’s passion and energy encouraged the world. He told us to “do what you love”. He believed “ People with passion can change the world for the better.” He made computers fun and interesting. His iPhone, iPad and iTouch are popular around the world. People say Jobs sells dreams, not products.

Jobs taught us how to face failure. He was fired by the successor he himself chose. Despite this, Jobs didn’t hide away. He picked himself up and continued to follow his passion.

Another valuable lesson he taught us was to listen to that voice in the back of your head – the voice that tells you if you’re on the right track or not. Most of us simply decide that we’re going to work in finance or become a doctor because our parents tell us this is what we should do. But Jobs believed and showed that it is wise to listen to that voice in your head, whatever it is telling you to do.

As Barack Obama said, Steve was “brave enough to think differently, brave enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it.”

【1】How many years had Steve Jobs been fighting the disease?

A. For 56 years. B. For 24 years. C. For 12 years. D. For 7 years.

【2】What did young Steve do?

A. He finished his college. B. His first job was to travel around India.

C. He created Apple after leaving school. D. He never followed the rules.

【3】What does the underlined word “it” refer to?

A. To do what your parents tell you. B. To work in finance or become a doctor.

C. To do what you should do. D. To follow your heart.

【4】What can we learn from Steve Jobs?

A. If you want to succeed, try to drop out of the college.

B. Believe that working hard is more important.

C. Be brave enough to follow your heart.

D. What your parents tell you is always wrong.

28、缺词填空，根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。（每空一词）

Can you climb trees? Maybe your parents ever told you,  “Don’t climb trees. It’s d  【1】  .” But Xiamen University is going to have a new class： Tree-climbing.

Zhu Chongshi, the president of Xiamen University, once visited Cornell University in New York, and he was surprised a  【2】  the course there.

In Tree-climbing class, the teachers do not just let the students c  【3】only with their hands. They teach the safety skills like t  【4】 used in rock-climbing. Students wear special caps and clothes to protect t  【5】  . And they use ropes so that they can not f  【6】   and get hurt. The class is very useful. Students are e  【7】  to learn the skills, like swimming in and after class by the teacher. In a time of disaster such as floods, earthquake, etc., such knowledge may make a d  【8】  between life and death.

No classroom subject could ever give them these skills. Students should find and develop their own inborn(与生俱来的) skills and talents. An all-knowing teacher should no longer see the child as an e  【9】 cup and only pour knowledge into it.

I hope climbing trees will w  【10】 up the potential(潜能) in many students.

29、   Not every dream you once tried to realize will come true in the end. But your effort will always pay off ______ a good direction. It is in the process of fighting for one's dream that the life is truly lived.

Once upon a time, there was a little boy who ______ to dig a hole in the yard behind his house after watching a science program on TV. As he was digging, a couple of elder boys passing by stopped to watch. “ ______ are you doing?” asked one of them. “I want to dig a deep hole all the way through the earth,” the boy answered ______ Hearing this, the elder boys began to laugh at him. They told him that it was ______ of him to even think of such a thing for it was impossible. “Impossible as it may seem to you, I still want to have a try ______ it might be a waste of time,” said the boy. Then the elder boys left without saying any other words.

As the boy was pretty sure about his ______, he continued digging. Time passed but the hope of achieving it seemed smaller and smaller. However, during the process of digging, he ______ something unexpected—a small shining stone which later turned out to be a valuable gem(宝石).

The little boy in this story may never be able to achieve his goal, but look at what he found in the process. So, ______ doubt the value of your effort.
