22、   One morning, I was driving my father-in-law to the airport when a plane flew silently over the road like a big bird, about to touch down at the airport.

“It’s magic,” my father-in-law said. I looked at him, without knowing what was happening.

He was a doctor who gave speeches at colleges and had visited more than 100 countries. He understood better than I why a plane can fly in the sky. It, really, wasn’t magic. But now, I realize he was at least right in some way.

Though flying might not be magic, it’s certainly magical. What it brings to our real lives is something found in our dreams.

But too often, we, especially I forget. I read a sentence a few months ago. It said, “You know you’re growing-up when you no longer want a window seat.”

Too often in recent years, I’ve asked for a seat near the exit row, forgetting the wonders of traveling fast. But sometimes, when the Wi-Fi’s not working or my computer has no power, I remember to look.

I think of one time when I was leaving on a family vacation. Moments after take-off, I started working. But a passenger behind me wouldn’t stop talking. “The clouds!” he kept saying, “Look at the clouds!”

I turned around, and saw two men, one who appeared to be in his seventies and the other much younger. The chat continued for 20 minutes until, not patiently, I raised my eyes from my computer screen and looked out of the window.

The clouds!

He was right. We were floating through big soft balls of cotton, each in different shapes. They seemed easy enough to touch. The afternoon sun provided all kinds of colors, all against a blue sky. I put away my computer and appreciated(欣赏)them for the rest of the flight.

I don’t remember the work I felt like I had to complete that afternoon. I’ve never forgotten those clouds.

B. it has changed human lives in some ways

C. he thinks planes have magic powers

D. it can fly silently over the road like a big bird

【2】What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in the 6th paragraph?

A. Where people grow up, their minds slow down.

B. When people grow up, they do not like changes.

C. Grown-ups often care too much about day-to-day work.

D. Grown-ups care little about the speed of travelling by plane .

【3】How did the writer feel first when he listened to the chat for 20 minutes?

A. Unhappy. B. Excited. C. Interested. D. Nervous.

【4】Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage?

A. Is it a wonder? B. Is it magic?

C. What soft clouds! D. What a strange flight!

23、Nowadays many museums around the world celebrate Slow Art Day in order to encourage their visitors to take their time and appreciate art more deeply.

In the world full of games, apps and funny videos, people spend less and less time on things. Research has shown that on average（平均来看）, people spend less than one minute on one work of art. The Internet has millions of websites, so you might expect people to slow down when they’re in museums full of great works of art. But you are wrong.

In recent years, museums have been working to change the situation. Over 170 museums around the world celebrate Slow Art Day. They ask their visitors to spend at least 5 to 10 minutes looking at just one work of art.

Slow Art supporters（支持者）believe that when visitors spend more time looking at a work of art, they enjoy it more. By spending time, they are able to notice more things about the work of art. Studying a work of art for more time can also help people get a better understanding of the artist’s ideas and what the artist went through to create the work. Most museums taking part in Slow Art Day choose just a few works for their visitors. In their opinion, when people visit a museum with lots of works of art, they feel like they must see everything in the museum. They go around like they are checking things off of a list. As one expert said, “You can’t really see a painting as you’re walking by it.”
