24、   A young man is walking in the desert and comes across some clear water. He fills his canteen so he can bring some back to his teacher.

After a four-day journey he presents the water to an old man. The old man takes a long drink, smiles warmly and thanks his student for the water. The young man returns to his village with a happy heart.

Later, the teacher lets another student taste the water. He spits( 吐 ) it out, saying it is awful. It’s no longer fresh because of the old leather(皮革的) canteen.

The student asks the teacher : “Master, the water is terrible. Why did you pretend to like it?” The teacher replies: “ You only tasted the water. I tasted the gift. The water was an act of loving-kindness and nothing could be sweeter.”

Now we understand this lesson best when we receive gifts of love from others. Whether it’s a book or a card, the natural and proper response(反应) is appreciation(欣赏)and expressed thankfulness because we love the idea within the gift.

Gratitude(感恩) doesn’t always come naturally. Unfortunately, many people value only the thing given, rather than the feeling embodies( 体现) in it. We should remind ourselves and teach our children about the beauty of feelings and expression of gratitude. After all, gifts from the heart are really gifts of the heart.

根据短文内容判断正误,正确的填 “A”,错误的填 “B”。

【1】The young man returns to his village with a happy heart, because the old man thinks the water sweeter

【2】The teacher lets another student taste the water. He spits and says it is awful.

【3】In fact, the water in the leather canteen is too fresh.

【4】Gratitude doesn’t always come naturally. Unfortunately, many people value only the thing which they give others.

【5】The passage tells us in our life, the gifts from the heart are really the gifts of the heart.

26、Before dawn (黎明), 12 very tired girls in worn-out slippers (破拖鞋) went back to bed. Tramper hurried in front of them and lay down on the sofa. There the King found him, circled by worn-out slippers, sound asleep.

“Well?” the King asked. You might think that Tramper told the King about what he had seen, but no. He had enjoyed the salmon (三文鱼) so much that he was hoping for a second supper.

“Two more tries,” said the King. “That’s all!”

The next night, the princesses brought Tramper turkey and a cup of tea for his supper. He ate up the turkey but drank no tea. Instead, he gave the palace parrot his tea and it fell off its sleeping place, sound asleep.

The princesses and Tramper fell asleep, too—or so it seemed. Later that night … the distant sound of silvery music began. The 12 princesses jumped out of bed, into the wardrobe (衣柜), and ran across the garden of ruby roses, through the orchard (果园) of diamond fruit and up the glass steps into the castle. Tramper followed them with the magic scarf over his head.

Again the elves (精灵小矮人) were waiting. Again the princesses danced and danced until their slippers were worn out. Before dawn, the tired princesses made their way home. Tramper hurried ahead of them and lay down on the sofa.

There the King found him, circled by worn-out slippers, sound asleep. “Well?” You might think that Tramper told the King about what he had seen, but no. He had enjoyed the turkey so much that he was hoping for a third supper.

“One more night,” said the King, “… and what’s wrong with the parrot?”

27、   More and more people believe that technologies are great for learning. Today, such teaching tools（工具） as iPads are used in a lot of courses（学科）, including language, history and science.

Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom. The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own pace. Some students might listen to a conversation only once and understand it, so they can save time for doing other things. Other students, however, might need to listen to the same conversation again and again to understand it.

The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn, such as listening to stories and watching movies. The class has become much more interesting and creative.

There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can concentrate on the material and learn more. Teaching notes are stored（分类） in their iPads and are easy to find. Some students spend more time studying now.

Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are bad for students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate（分隔） students from each other.

However, technologies are already a part of most students’ day-to-day lives. As for cheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make changes with the times as technology is playing an important part. We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.

【1】In the second paragraph, the underlined phrase “at their own pace” probably means ________.

A.according to their own B.without their teachers’ help

C.about whatever they like D.in their parents’ hope

【4】What is probably the best title for the passage?

A.New Technology Changes Learning B.No Teachers for Learning

29、Partners in Art

“That’s not fantasy. Why not make it a dragon instead?” I looked _______ at him.

To my surprise, I could ______ the dragon take shape. And I started drawing the body.

Ms. Priestley was moving around the classroom. “That’s a very nice ______, Nimmy.” Ms. Priestley’s voice made me jump.

I smiled shyly, because it wasn’t totally my idea, “It was Leon’s,” I said.

Ms. Priestley’s smile grew wider. “Excellent, Leon. We must always be willing to share our ideas.” Then Ms. Priestley continued, “ Nimmy, why don’t you ______ Leon some advice?” On Leon’s paper was a space farm. “It’s nice,” I offered.

“And…”  Ms. Priestley said encouragingly.
