21、Giving a Hand

Jaime, a new immigrant（移民）of the USA, was going to watch his daughter's first show in a school play. His daughter, Carol, was five years old. She was a student at the local public school. Carol did not have a very big role in the school play. She was just playing a rain cloud in a play about the drought in California. Carol had just one line. Her line was, "I am sad enough to cry about how dry the state is."

Jaime and his wife made sure to arrive early so that they could get a good seat to watch the show. They found seats in the front row. Before the show began, the schoolmaster made an introductory speech. The speech was about how hard the students and teachers worked together to make the play possible. At the end of the speech, the schoolmaster said, "Let's give the school staff a hand".

Jaime, whose English was not very good, stood up when the schoolmaster said this. He knew that when people said "to give someone a hand" they meant they needed help. Jaime always wanted to help, especially at his daughter's school. Jaime thought maybe they needed help backstage.

Jaime's wife put her arm in front of her husband. "Where are you going?" she asked in a low voice. "They need a hand," Jaime replied. His wife explained that "to give someone a hand" could also mean to applaud（鼓掌）someone. When you applaud someone you clap your hands（拍手）after their performance. You are not supposed to stand up and try to help others. "They don't need help. They just want us to clap," Jaime's wife explained. Jaime felt a little embarrassed. He sat back down and began clapping along with the rest of the audience.

Jaime thought to himself that someone needed to give the English language a hand. How could one phrase mean two different things? He meant the English language needed help.

【1】Why did Jaime and his wife arrive at the play early?

A.To talk to other parents. B.To wish their daughter good luck.

C.To get good seats to watch the show. D.To listen to the speech of the schoolmaster.

【2】Jaime thought "giving someone a hand" meant __________.

A.helping someone B.clapping your hands

C.holding someone's hand D.giving your hand to someone

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Jaime stood up to applaud. B.Jaime is a warm-hearted man.

C.Jaime was better at English than his wife. D.Jaime's daughter played an important role in the show.

22、Now and then we all get ill. Then we usually go to see a doctor. Doctors know a lot about what makes us ill. They may give us something to take. The medicine often makes us well again.

But sometimes the doctor’s medicine doesn’t work. A sick person does not get well. The pain, or hurt, will not go away. This happened to one man. He was in hospital, but he was not getting well. Then he found a new “doctor” inside himself. This “doctor” was his own sense of humor（幽默感）. He saw funny films. He read funny books. And something wonderful happened. Laughing took away his pain. Then he was able to sleep and rest. His own happy feeling helped him to feel well again. And he told his story in a book. He said that laughing was his best “medicine”. His doctor thought so, too.

Another man was ill, and he had a terrible pain in his back. The doctors could not stop it from hurting. So the man began to “picture” his pain. In his head he “drew” a picture of a dog. He imagined it as a real dog. And it was biting his back. It was hurting him. Then the man talked softly to the dog. He put his hand on the dog’s head.

He made friends with the dog. And his pain went away!

These stories may surprise you. But more and more people are getting well in this way. So call on the “doctor” inside your own head. And stay happy and well!

23、   Although English people don’t care about what they eat, they care about where they eat. Rich families usually have a nice dining room.

English people like to eat out. The rich go to big restaurants. The poor go to small ones or fast food restaurants. There are also a lot of foreign restaurants in England, such as Italian, Chinese, Indian, Japanese restaurants and so on. A good restaurant is usually big and clean. The waiters and waitresses wear uniforms. They are friendly and polite. When you are eating, you might hear gentle music. It makes you feel comfortable. It makes you feel time passes quickly, too. Small restaurants or fast food restaurants are noisier, but they are also clean and pleasant.

In summer, English people like eating out. People bring two baskets of sandwiches and sit on the grass in the park, enjoying the sun. Some English kids’ favorite food is pizza. Most kids hate vegetables. Some of them like eating the most famous English food: fish and chips.

24、   There are many words to describe the red panda. This animal is cute, fuzzy, reddish, and small. Sadly, the word endangered also describes the red panda. That’s because people are destroying its habitat. If people continue to do this, there will be no more red pandas left in the world.

People cut down the trees that red pandas live in. Red pandas live in the forests of the Himalayas, a mountain range that goes through Nepal, China, and India. About half of the red pandas in the world live there. When people cut down the trees, they destroy the red panda’s habitat. Red pandas spend most of their lives in trees, so they are basically homeless when their forests get cut down. Without their homes, the pandas are not safe from animals that can hurt them.

There is another reason that deforestation, or cutting down trees hurts red pandas. It takes away the animals’ food sources. Red pandas eat bamboo, a grass that grows in their habitat. They also eat fruit, roots, acorns, and eggs. When deforestation happens, the entire habitat is ruined and the red pandas don’t know where to find food. People have also endangered red pandas by taking them out of their habitat to use their fur for clothing and to sell them as pets.

With all of these problems, it’s no wonder that there are fewer red pandas in the world. So how can people help them? Some zoo keepers are helping to solve this problem by bringing red pandas to zoos and clinics. The zookeepers take care of the red pandas and hope that baby red pandas will be born. Then the zookeepers send the babies back into the wild.

There is also a group called the Red Panda Network. It is a group of people who guard the forests in Nepal and the red pandas that live in them. They watch the forests every day. They hope that in the future, people will stop destroying the red panda’s habitat and that the animal will no longer be endangered.

【1】The word “deforestation” in paragraph 3 probably means _______.

A.the fact of losing food sources B.the act of cutting down trees

C.the group who hurt red pandas D.the habitat where red pandas live

【2】What can you learn from the passage?

A.About half of the red pandas in the world live in China.

B.The zoo keepers keep the endangered red pandas as their pets.

C.More and more people use the red pandas’ fur for clothing.

D.People’s actions are causing red pandas to be endangered.

【3】What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?

A.To introduce what the red pandas are like and where they live.

B.To tell why the red pandas are endangered and how people help them.

C.To introduce what the red pandas like to eat and how they get food.

D.To tell what the Red Panda Network is and why its members live in forests.

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A.Endangered! The Red Panda B.The Red Panda Network

C.Cute! The Red Panda D.The Red Panda Habitat
