1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

Although I am from America, I have lived in China for several years. 1.I want to tell you some differences between China and the USA.

Education

2.中国学生比美国学生更擅长于数学。I feel that Chinese students study harder and have longer classroom hours to enter college. In my opinion, the best way for the students may be to get elementary(初等的)and secondary education in China and go to the American universities. Of course, you need to have enough money to pay for it.

Environment

American children are taught to keep the environment clean. But it isn’t the same here in China. I am happy to see more and more Chinese children are changing their habits. People are taking notice of their environment.3.And they are playing a role in keeping it clean.

Safety

If you walk down a dark street alone at night in the US, you’ll probably be afraid of being attacked (攻击). In China,it isn’t a problem. 4.I feel safe living here in China.

Leadership

There are a lot of great leaders(领导)in China, such as Chairman Xi. 5.他是中国历史上最伟大的领袖之一。He is wise and is making wide choices in leading China. I am sincerely amazed at his leadership.

21、   As everybody knows, tourism plays an important part in the development of a country, the life of people and so on. It can open our eyes to the outside world, bring us more knowledge, and make us feel good. However, tourism can also lead to pollution and many other problems to places of interest.

Luckily, “Green Tourism” is now being promoted and developed all over the world. As time goes by, people will begin to realize the importance of these places of interest. “Green Tourism” teaches a person to love nature more and to protect it by enjoying its beautiful scenery and learning more about it. “Green Tourism” is the best kind of tourism as its purpose is to enjoy natural environments including wild plants and animals, and of course the cultures of many places.

22、   A passenger（乘客）told an air hostess that he needed a cup of water to take his medicine when the plane just took off. She said to him that she would bring him the water in ten minutes.

Thirty minutes later, when the passenger’s ring for service sounded, the air hostess realized it at once. She was so busy that she forgot to give him the water. As a result, the passenger was not able to take his medicine on time. The air hostess hurried over to him with a cup of water, but he refused it. In the following hours on the plane, each time the air hostess passed the passenger, she would ask him with a smile whether he needed help or not. But the passenger never replied to her.

When the passenger was going to get off the plane, he asked the air hostess to hand him the passenger’s booklet (意见簿). She knew that he would write down bad words about her job, and maybe it would make her lose her job. But with a smile she handed it to him.

Off the plane, the air hostess opened the booklet and smiled because the passenger wrote, “On the flight, you asked me whether I needed help or not for twelve times. How can I refuse your twelve sincere smiles?”

23、阅读短文，判断短文后句子的意思是否与短文内容相符。用“T”表示相符，“F”表示不相符。

One of the world’s most dangerous sports is mountain climbing, and one of the most popular places for this is the Himalayas. The Himalayas run along the southwestern part of China. Of all the mountains, Qomolangma rises the highest and is the most famous. It is 8844.43 meters high and so is very dangerous to climb. Thick clouds cover the top and snow can fall very hard. Even more serious difficulties include freezing weather conditions and heavy storms. It is also very hard to take in air as you get near the top. But every year many climbers try to climb to the top of it.

Why do so many climbers risk their lives? One of the main reasons is that people want to challenge themselves in the face of difficulties. The spirit of these climbers shows us that we should never give up trying to achieve our dreams. It also shows that humans can sometimes be stronger than the forces of nature.

【1】One of the most popular places for mountain climbing is the Himalayas.

24、Dawn Loggins, a homeless girl from Burns High School, is going to Harvard University in the fall.

Dawn grew up in a poor situation. Her house had no electricity or running water. So she had to do her homework in the dark. She lived with her parents who took drugs.

One summer, Dawn left home for a one-month program in North Carolina for outstanding high school students. When she came back, she found her house empty, with a government notice on the front door. Her parents had left already and Dawn became homeless.

Dawn didn’t let her situation stop her drive to be successful. As a high school student, she joined in different school activities at Bums: band club, photography club and cross-country club.

“When I was younger, I was able to look at all the terrible situations, and made a decision for myself that I was not going to end up like my parents,” Dawn said.

Dawn applied (申请) to four North Carolina universities and her dream one, Harvard. In March this year, she got a reply from Harvard. It said that she was not only admitted to the university, but also offered a full scholarship (奖学金).

Dawn’s story has gone around the world. People have sent best wishes and money to her.
