22、   My father woke me up early one summer morning when I was fourteen and said: “Get up, you’re going with me to cut the grass in the garden.”

The idea that my father thought I was old enough to help him in his business (生意) made me feel proud (骄傲) and excited. From sunrise to sunset, my father, my younger brother and I worked in the large garden, in a rich part of Atlanta, Georgia. By the end of the day I was too tired to say a word but I felt good. This was my first time to help my father in his business. I got $ 6 for my work that day.

One day my father found some leaves I had missed and pulled me aside. “Take away these leaves!” he said seriously, “and don’t make me have to tell you to do it again.” The message was clear. Today I still value（珍视） it , which my father gave to me that day. It will always be helpful to impress (给……留下印象) the person you are working for.

After two years, I left home and went to another town to start my new life. Luckily for me, I quickly found a job to wash dishes in a restaurant. Every morning, I set off early, always with the same strong wish I got long long ago. I felt like I was old enough to be independent and make a living by myself.

In fact, washing dishes was not exciting, but that didn’t matter. It taught me that any job was a good job and whatever I got from the job was more than I had before. I could learn something meaningful from every job and do it better and better. One day, a newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live with hard work and low pay. “If you only think about hard work and money,   58   ” I answered.

In every job, from cutting the grass to washing dishes, I’ve learned much. I’ve learned something that helps me in my next job.

【1】The writer felt proud to cut the grass because   .

A.he was not old enough to help his family

B.he thought he became important to his father’s business

C.he could cut the grass without others’ help

D.he could get $6 that day by cutting grass

【2】Which of the following can be the missing part in Paragraph 5?

A.you will stay away from your family B.you will live a hard life

【3】If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?

A.①②③; ④⑤; ⑥ B.①; ②③④⑤; ⑥

【4】The best title of this passage may be “   ”.

A.My Father, the Best Teacher in My Life B.Work Hard to Find a Job

C.Different Jobs, Different Lives D.Keep Learning in Your Jobs

23、Many people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plane. So airlines provide passengers with food, but it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree?

To solve this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they don’t want to lose customers. However, according to some studies, a part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at a high altitude we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists find that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure reduces one third of our taste buds (味蕾). So our taste buds become senseless. The sad fact, however, is that our noses don’t know it.

All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and hot food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless. Now there are many studies on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.

Scientists try their best, but it is not as easy as they thought. Because they can’t deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.

【3】What will happen when the plane moves up?

B．Airlines choose to eat hot food without salt.

C．Food on the plane tastes much better than that at home.

D．Passengers don’t like eating more delicious food.

【4】Why do scientists feel it hard to make food on the plane taste good?

A．The volunteers don’t know about food taste.

B．The volunteers don’t understand them.

24、

We’ve come a long way from blackboards and chalk. Modern technology (技术) has provided us with lots of ways we can make learning more interesting. Perhaps most importantly of all, it’s also more interactive (互动).

Some kinds of tools have been developed. They make the 21st century learning experience much more interactive and interesting. Attracting the attention of students is always difficult, but these tools have made a big difference in how pupils learn.

For example, an interactive whiteboard is different from a traditional chalkboard. It allows the teachers to show images and provide sounds as well. If you imagine a large computer screen with colorful images and sounds added in, you can see why so many pupils are drawn in by what they see and hear in a modern classroom.

Various audio (声音的) tools also help to make sure that everyone can hear what the teacher has to say. In the past, if a teacher said something that a child missed, perhaps the child was too timid (胆小的) or nervous to ask them to repeat it. Now they are less likely to miss out simply because they’re sitting too far away from the teacher to hear them.

The 21st century classroom is able to teach pupils more than one thing. For example, imagine a history lesson is given in a modern classroom. How is it different from a classroom setting in the past? The answer is simple. The students will not only learn about history itself, they will also learn how to use the modern equipment (设备) that helps the teacher get their messages across.

Modern technology can make teaching and learning easier. Student response (应答) system makes everyone able to express their opinions or answers without having to speak up. Since everyone can do it, the teacher can see who needs more help in other ways.

It’s clear that this kind of classroom technology is making a great difference in modern classrooms.

【1】Modern technology ______ .

A. is less interactive B. makes learning more boring

C. only uses blackboards and chalk D. provides us with many better learning ways

【2】The interactive whiteboard ________ .

A. allows the teachers to show images and sounds as well

B. can’t attract pupils’ attention in the class

C. is the same as traditional chalkboard

D. is a computer screen with only black and white images

【3】How can the various audio tools help in learning?

A. It makes sure that everyone is less likely to miss what the teachers say.

B. It makes the timid students brave enough to ask teachers to repeat what they say.

C. It helps teachers to speak as much as they can.

D. It can only repeat what the teachers say.

【4】What can you imagine a modern classroom different from the one setting the past?

A. Students can learn all subjects with modern technology except History.

B. Teachers don’t have to be in the class.

C. Students can express their ideas more freely.

D. Teachers have to ask students who needs more help one by one.

【5】In the last paragraph, the underlined phrase “making a great difference” means “______”.

A. making a different thing

B. playing an important role

C. not being a same thing

D. preventing us from learning

25、Nook’s arrival, Good or Bad?

Booklovers, most of them, will tell you what a pleasure it is to lend a favorite read to a friend—the novel you stayed up all night to get to the end of; the travel book that made you feel as if you yourself were on a train ride through India. For a while it seemed that e-book users were to be denied this pleasure of lending to friends. You could b【1】 a book or magazine for your reading device, but you couldn’t lend it out.

But now, with the Nook, the US book chain Barnes and Noble’s response to Amazon’s Kindle, electronic readers will be able to have their l【2】 literary enthusiasm pressed on their friends, just like readers of physical books can. You simply email the book from your Nook and your friend can read it for two weeks, using any device with the Barnes and Noble e-book reader software. It’s a big i【3】 from previous e-book readers.

The Nook offers other features too. You read in black and white on the main screen, just like with Kindle. The difference is that on the lower part of the device there’s a c【4】   touch screen, which allows you to browse through a book or magazine, but goes black when you’re not using it so that you s【5】 power.

Another exciting thing about the Nook is that it offers Wi-Fi, arguably a big advance on previous e-book readers. Customers in the United States can use the Internet connection to read whole e-books at Barnes and Noble’s hundreds of bookstores for free. None of Barnes and Noble’s c【6】 can come close to this.

But the Nook, ironically, has t【7】 out to be a money-loser for Barnes and Noble, or at least a job-loser for Barnes and Noble’s employees. According to Marian Maneker at The Big Money Website, if the Nook is successful it might take sales from the company’s bookstores, eventually forcing their closure and the loss of thousands of jobs.
