24、

Thanks to an online activity and a stranger with a strong sense of romance and a strong will, an old box full of 70-year-old love letters was returned to its very first owner.

Twenty years ago, a woman named Cherry Vallance got the letters from her neighbor who found them in the top floor of his house and wanted to   throw them away. Luckily, they ended up in Cherry’s house where they were once again forgotten until her daughter, Kim Rowe, discovered them again.

The letters were from 1948 and 1949 and were about the first romance between Norma Hall in Kent, England and Bob Beasley, a soldier fighting overseas. That was the only information she had, but Kim heard a lot of moving stories about people and things being found through Facebook years later. She posted the story online.

The Internet found Norma Beasley living in Lincoln, England. She was so surprised to find that her loved love letters still lived in the world, and that they were in the same old box.

The moment makes people smile and also full of tears, though. Norma says she hasn’t looked at the letters yet. Bob passed away late last year, and she is still not ready to face the letters alone.

25、   Almost every kid in this country has ever eaten Hershey chocolate. But do you know that the Hershey chocolate factory is more than one hundred years old? And do you know that the father of Hershey Chocolate, Milton Hershey, had many failures in business before he started his famous company?

Milton Hershey was born in 1857 in central Pennsylvania. He stopped attending school when he was 12 years old. Before he became interested in making chocolate, he worked as a printer for a small newspaper at first, but he didn’t like it. Then he decided that printing was not the right job for him.

Then he worked at a candy factory in Lancaster. After working for a few years there, he decided to open his own little candy business near Philadelphia. His first business failed because it was not making money. After that, he went to Denver to learn how to make caramels(焦糖). He took his new skills back to New York and worked selling candies on the street. But his second business also failed.

Finally, Milton Hershey moved back to Pennsylvania where he grew up. He then experimented with all sorts of different candies and chocolate. By 1893 he was selling a million dollars worth of caramel candy each year. Since his chocolate-flavored caramels were the best-selling, he decided to make chocolate himself.

By experimenting, Milton Hershey discovered how to make delicious chocolate. The area where he lived had a large and easy supply of milk and sugar, which helped him succeed in his chocolate business. In 1903, Milton Hershey built a huge chocolate factory and a town to go with it.

Today, the town of Hershey is still the home of the factory that Milton Hershey built. The streetlights are shaped like the candy. The air often smells like chocolate. And if you ever visit it, you can smell delicious chocolate smells just by driving through the town.

The factory is not so hard to find, just travel down Cocoa Avenue until you get to East Chocolate Avenue. Turn right at the traffic lights and just follow your nose.

【1】Where did Milton Hershey spend his childhood?

A.In Pennsylvania B.In Lancaster C.In Philadelphia D.In New York

A.Because he was taught to make delicious chocolate.

B.Because he got a new idea for making chocolate.

【3】Which of the following sentences about Milton Hershey is TRUE?

A.In 1869, he left school and later worked as a printer for a small newspaper.

B.After his first business failed, he went to Lancaster to learn some new skills

26、When someone says, “I guess I′ll have to face the music”, it doesn′t mean he is going to a concert. It is something unhappy. For example, a student is called in by his teacher to explain why he didn′t finish his homework.

 Every American, young or old, knows the phrase “to face the music” well. It′s at least 100 years old. Where did the expression come from?

 One explanation (解释) is about the American writer James Fennimore Cooper. He said the expression was first used by actors. When they were asked to perform, they would say, “It′s time to face the music.” And that is exactly what they did-face the band which is just below the stage (舞台).

 An actor might be nervous when he moved onto the stage in front of the audience (观众). But he had to go out. So, “to face the music” came to mean having to go through something no matter how unhappy it might be, because you had no choice.

 The other explanation comes from the army. The soldiers had to face their leader′s check. They were worried about how well they looked. Were their guns clean enough to pass the check? Still, the men had to go out to face the check. What else could they do?

【1】What does the expression “to face the music” exactly mean?

A. To go to a concert.

B. To become interested in music.

C. To join the army.

D. To go through something unhappy.

【2】In which of the following places won′t the expression “to face the music” be

 used?

A. The stage. B. The school. C. The city library.  D. The army.

【3】What′s the main idea of the fourth paragraph?

A. Worries of an actor on the stage.

B. Different kinds of audience.

C. Why an actor is nervous on the stage.

D. The true meaning of “to face the music”.

【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Here are two explanations about the expression “to face the music”.

B. The music in “to face the music” is a kind of terrible music.

C. When you face the music, it means that you must go through it.

D. When someone says he has to face the music, he will have no choice.

27、   A recent study from a team of South Korean researchers suggests that eating alone often may lead to poor eating habits and poor food choices. Specifically, the study found that men who ate alone more than twice a week had a greater risk of developing high blood pressure and other diseases.

For children, eating with their families is not only about preventing bad results—it is also about developing good ones.

In 2014, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) looked at data from nearly three-quarters of the world’s countries. Among its findings was the fact that students who shared a main meal with families were less likely to skip school(逃学). Children who eat a main meal with their families are also less likely to use drugs and alcohol(吸毒酗酒).

In the report, named “The Importance of Family Dinners”, researchers say that “teens who have frequent family dinners are more likely to say their parents know a lot about what’s going on in their lives”. They also say that when teens say they feel closer to their parents, they are less likely to use drugs and alcohol.

Another study from the University of Montreal found that children who ate with their families experience long-term physical and mental health benefits. These children were physically in better shape and drank fewer sugary soft drinks. These children also seemed to have better social skills and they were less aggressive(好斗的).

Professor Linda Pagani says that mealtimes shared with parents “likely provide young children with first-hand social communication, discussions of social events and day-to-day matters”. She adds that they may likely help the child have better communication skills with others.

【1】The underlined word “benefits” in Paragraph 5 is the closest in meaning to ________.

A.advantages B.disadvantages C.conditions D.problems

【2】Children eating with their families are more likely to ________.

A.drink more sugary soft drinks B.do well in their studies at school

C.be more socially active and aggressive D.have a closer relationship with their parents

【3】Why is Professor Pagani mentioned in the last paragraph?

A.To introduce her. B.To add a new point.

C.To explain further. D.To provide background information.

【4】The passage mainly talks about ________.

A.the benefits of eating together B.the advantages of eating alone

C.the ways of developing social skills D.the risks of using drugs and alcohol

28、   Knowing the best way to study will help you to be a better student. By using your time 【1】 (proper), you can do your homework more quickly. Learning to study is not difficult.

The first thing to remember is that you must be willing to learn. It doesn’t 【2】 (mean) that you must always like the subject. It does mean, however, that you must be willing to do whatever is necessary to learn. Try to understand why it is important and how it will help you now and 【3】 (late) to do and learn other things.

Knowing mathematics facts will be 【4】 (use) in your whole life. Knowing how to 【5】 (spell) makes any kind of writing easier. Sometimes the subject that you think is going to be uninteresting will be exciting when you begin to work at it and understand it more clearly.

Make good use of class 【6】 (time) to listen to everything the teachers say. Real listening in class means 【7】 (little) work after class.

Look around your house and find 【8】 (冠词) quiet place with good lighting for study. Have everything ready 【9】 (连词) you sit down to study, a dictionary, paper, a pen and books. Reviewing the important points that were mentioned by the teachers in class will consolidate (巩固) what you have learned. Previewing the material that the teacher will teach the next day will help you understand it more easily in class and you will remember it longer.

These ways may help you 【10】 (介词) your study.
