21、   Dear editor,

My English teacher is very strict with us. Several days ago, when we were in class, Tom asked me a question. But my English teacher thought we were speaking in class. She asked us to stand at the back of the classroom for a few minutes. This made me unfair. After that, I feel nervous in her class, so I don't like her class. However, I really want to learn English well. What should I do?

Yours, Mike

Dear Mike,

I am sorry you are having difficulty with your English class. Every teacher wants his or her students to study hard. So I think you should have a talk with your English teacher and tell her what  you were doing with Tom that day. If she knows your worries, maybe she will help you with your English. And she will be pleased to hear you want to learn English well. Of course, you should know that what your teacher did was good for you. When you are not trying as hard as you can, she has to stop it and try to help you. Wish you have a better life!

Yours, Editor

22、When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. One of my father’s friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.

Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place. We’ d sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal.

Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we’d bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest.

Bernie was my father’s idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie’s wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.

What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don’t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.

For many years, I forgot that lesson I’d learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.

Well, I’ve relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That’s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.

【1】We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling ______.

A．relaxed

B．worried

C．hungry

D．proud

【2】How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon?

A．They ate it in a polite way.

B．They only ate its best part.

C．They ate every part of it.

D．They shared only one piece.

【3】In the eyes of the writer’s father, Bernie ______.

A．was just a rich businessman

B．worked hard all the time

C．lived a rich but healthy life

D．knew how to make money

【4】The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to ______.

A．the best part of the watermelon

B．the writer’s busy life

C．the writer’s decision of making money

D．the writer’s hope of enjoying life

【5】It can be learned from the passage that ______.

A．one has to work hard to reach his goal

B．a friend in need is a friend in deed

C．watermelon is the healthiest fruit

D．one should keep work-life balance

23、   I was at the airport. It was two hours before I went through security（安检）to catch my flight. I decided it was the perfect time and place to look for an act of kindness to do.

Outside security there was a girl having flowers for sale. I told her that I would like to buy flowers for someone else, and she could decide who to give them to. She was unable to understand it, so I suggested that perhaps she could give them to someone who looked a little sad. That was because he or she might need some cheering up.

At first, the girl answered, “That’s crazy.” But then I explained a little more about the idea of doing something kind for a stranger, and she understood.

“I’ll never know how it turns out,” I said, “but you will have the chance to make someone’s good day. Whatever good we give out comes back to us.” At that time, she started to seem excited about it.

She went to take the flowers out of the water they were sitting in, and I explained, “It’s fine to leave them there until the person who you want to give them comes.”

At that point, I think she was between surprised and happy. Because it might be her first time to meet a customer like me. I paid for the flowers, said goodbye, and joined in the security line.

What a nice day I had!

【1】What did the writer decide to do at the airport?

A. To buy some flowers for himself/herself. B. To do an act of kindness.

【2】Why did the writer buy the flowers?

A. The flowers smelt sweet. B. The girl was very poor.

【3】Why did the girl say “That’s crazy” at first?

A. She thought the writer was very kind.

B. She thought the writer would miss his flight.

C. She didn’t understand what the writer meant.

D. She didn’t know if the writer had enough money.

【4】What is the right order of the story?

a. I decided to look for an act of kindness to do.

b. The girl went to take the flowers out of the water.

c. I paid for the flowers and joined in the security line.

d. I told the girl that I would like to buy flowers for someone.

A. a-b-c-d B. b-a-c-d

C. a-d-b-c D. d-a-c-b

24、Do you want to be a volunteer? Maybe you need some ideas. Here is some advice.

Help kids learn and grow. Be a big brother or sister at an after-school care center. You can help little kids to learn or play with them.

Give back during the holidays. Serve dinner to the homeless, volunteer at an old people’s home, or give out toys to kids.

Help at an animal shelter (庇护所). Most shelters depend on (依靠) volunteers to keep the cats and dogs happy and take them to exercise. And when you’re walking dogs, you get some exercise, too.

Protect (保护) the environment. Take part in a park clean-up day. Plant a tree. Join a group to work together to protect a river.

Help sick people. Helping others can make you feel good. When you cheer sick people up, you also feel happy. If you have several hobbies, find a way to do them all. For example, if you love kids and are good at painting and dancing, visit a children’s hospital and teach them these interesting things.

25、短文填空

I love turtles, but I can’t care for them well. So please read the following before deciding on buying one.

You don’t have e【1】 room. Turtles need a lot of room to live 【2】 (happy). But this doesn’t mean you should let them 【3】 (play) freely across your house.

You can’t give your turtle enough food. Most turtles eat both meat 【4】 plants. Whatever you do, don’t think you can feed your pet on the only food from a pet store.

If you own a d【5】 or a cat, you’d 【6】 not buy a turtle! One day, my dog ate a box turtle (箱龟）and about a month later the dog died. I’ve read that many box turtles carry toxins (毒素) 【7】 their bodies. You can’t offer the right temperature. Once, I 【8】 (buy) a turtle that was not put into a box. It died 【9】 few days later. In fact, the box can give it a good temperature.

You will find different 【10】 (information) in some books. You need to read more books to learn how to take care of them better.
