22、Graham and his friends preferred to shoot up in their arms, necks and legs. A dealer once said Graham was the type who would never be able to turn back and that he expected him to die from the drug. Wendy feared the same, but didn’t know how to save her son. “ Once, after he’d disappeared for more than a month, I found him at a friend’s house with a bunch of other users,” she said, “I got down on my hands and knees, begging him to come home. He did, but the next morning he was gone. I don’t know what made him do it, but I drove 20 miles to the nearest train station. Graham was headed for Seattle, his pockets full of drugs. If I hadn’t gotten there in time, I would never have seen him alive again.”
The turning point came in 2007, after Graham was arrested yet again for possession. Wendy got a call from the Montana Drugs Project, which works with local law enforcement(强制执行) to keep track of youth-related crimes so it can help families in trouble. Following a counselor’s advice, Wendy hired two men to come to her home in the middle of the night, tie Graham and take him to a treatment program in Thompson Falls, Montana. “I was high when they came and really angry with my mom,” he said, “But if she hadn’t done that, drugs would have killed me.” After six months of treatment, Graham, now 19, came back to Kalispell, where he’s grown close to Wendy once again. “I still have the desires every day and attend support meetings every night,” he said, “But life is worth living again. My mom thinks that’s a miracle. I guess she is right.”

23、Finding time to read is an important part of developing reading and writing skills for all kids. And there are many easy and convenient ways to make reading a part of each day — even when it's tough to find time to sit down with a book.
Car trips, waits in checkout lines and the doctor's office are all opportunities for reading. Keep books or magazines in your car, or backpack to pull out whenever you're going to be in one place for a while. Even if you can't finish a book, read a few pages or discuss some of the pictures.
Encourage kids to bring favorite books and magazines along wherever you go. While it's attractive to provide electronic games and readers, be sure to alternate electronic media with plenty of opportunities to read traditional print books.
Reading opportunities are everywhere you go. While riding in the car, for example, encourage kids to spot words and letters (on billboards, store signs, etc.), turning it into a game (“Who’ll be the first to find a letter B?”).
Even daily tasks like cooking can provide reading moments. Kids can assist you as you cook by telling you how much flour to measure. Give your child a catalogue to read while you sort through the mail. Ask relatives to send your child letters, e-mail, or text messages, and read them together. Help your child create letters or messages to send back to the relatives. These types of activities help kids see the purpose of reading and of print.
Even when you’re trying to get things done, you can encourage reading. While cleaning, for instance, you might ask your child to read a favorite book to you while you work.
Make sure kids get some time to spend quietly with books, even if it means cutting back on other activities, like watching TV or playing video games.
Most important, be a reader yourself. Kids who see their parents reading are likely to imitate them and become readers, too!
【1】What do we know about kids in Paragraph 3?
A. They are suggested taking reading materials only.
B. They can’t resist the desire of playing games.

A. Make written communication.
B. Make a dialogue with each other.

C. Detail is the key to success.
D. A fine example has boundless power.
【4】What may be the best title for the text?

24、 It has happened to all of us.You want to talk about an object,but you forgot the name of it.Or you never knew the name at all.Maybe you are not even sure there is a word for it.
For example,that thing, that you need to fix your bicycle.Or perhaps it is something you need for your computer·Or that part on your motorcycle that never,ever seems to work.
What are these things?
They are called“doohickies"·A doohickey is a word you use when you do not know,or you have forgotten,the real name of an object·
The MacMillan Dictionary defines doohickey as“something such as a small object or tool that you cannot remember the name of"·The American Heritage Dictionary says it is“something,especially a small device or part,whose name is unknown or forgotten".
Language experts say the word first started being used in the United States in the early 1900s· But other experts say they have seen examples of words like that in writings from the middle 1800s.
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary for Learners of American English gives this example of how native speakers might use doohickey:“I need one of those doohickeys,you know,with the long handle.”
Merriam-Webster adds that doohickey may be a combination of two other words:“doodad" and“hickey" .Strange as it may be,both of these words mean the same as doohickey.The dictionary lists a lot of strange words as.synonyms for doohickey.The most common are whatchamacallit,whatnot and whatsit.
You will probably never see these words in official documents or newspaper reports·But you might hear them in informal American English,when people are talking to each other·
“Hey,what does this doohickey do,anyway?”
"Dude,bring me that thingamajig,willya·”
"Janine,can you get me one of those whatchamacallits?”
