It was half past five in the evening when Nancy came home from work. She walked into the living room and looked at her three children.

The room was dirty and untidy. There were empty glasses and dirty clothes on the floor. Toys were here and there.

Nancy got angry. “What a mess” she said to her children. “I work all day and have to do housework all evening. I’m very tired. I need to have a good rest. I won’t do the housework any more!”

Nancy did as she said. She didn’t do any housework. Every evening she sat on the sofa and watched TV. A week later, every dish in the kitchen was dirty. All the children’s clothes were dirty, too. Every rubbish bag was full.

Then one day Nancy got very surprised when she came home from work. The kitchen was clean. The children had cleaned it!

22、   Emergencies（紧急情况）don’t happen very often. But when they do, you want to get help first. No one wants to spend time looking up the phone numbers.

In 1968, the United States government wanted one number that people could call for emergencies. They decided that 911 was easy to remember and people could dial it quickly. The very first 911 call was made on February 16, 1968, in Alabama. Today, 911 is used for emergencies in most parts of the United States and many parts of Canada

Other countries may use other numbers. In Great Britain, it’s 999. If you’re not sure which emergency number is used in your area, check your phone book.

When to call

Never call 911 as a joke or just to see what might happen. The only time you should call 911 is when a person is badly hurt or in danger right now! So call when there is a fire, a car accident, or sudden sickness, etc.

When in an emergency call

When you dial the 911 operator（接线员）, it’s always OK to give out your information. Speak slowly and clearly when you explain what’s happening. What happened? Where are you? Who needs help?

Don’t hang up（挂断）!

If you have to call 911, do not hang up until the operator tells you it’s OK to do so. That way, you can be sure that the operator has all the information to offer help fast.

A dog named Faith dialed 911 when her owner who was in a wheelchair fell and needed help. She had been taught to use a speed-dial function.

【1】The emergency number 911 was first used in ________ in the USA.

A．1958

B．1968

C．1978

D．1999

【2】Why was 911 chosen to be the emergency call?

A．Because other countries also used the number.

B．Because it was suggested by the phone company.

C．Because it was simple and easy to remember and dial.

D．Because it was also used in many parts of Canada.

【3】People can’t call 911 when ________.

A．a bus hits a boy badly

B．a girl feels bored

C．an old lady falls off the stairs, unable to stand up

D．some people can’t get out of a burning building

【4】Which is the RIGHT thing to do?

A．Wait for the operator’s words to end the call.

23、   Is stress from work or school making you sick? If so, you may belong to a growing number of people suffering from serious stress. Experts have called the problem the “Black Death of the 21st century.” The original Black Death is estimated (据估计) to have killed 25 million people in Europe in the 14th century. While no one expects stress to be quite that deadly, it is still a serious matter.

A recent study has shown that stress can affect our ability to go to work. Stress is now the number one reason workers stay home sick four continuous (不间断) weeks or more.

What has led to the growing stress felt in the workplace? The bad economic situation is a major reason. Record numbers of layoffs (裁员) have increased workers’ worry about losing their jobs. Layoffs have also increased the amount of work workers are expected to do. People then work longer hours, which often creates problems for them at home, causing even more stress.

According to Professor Cary Cooper, writer of over 120 books, stress often leads to changes in manner of acting. You may notice that you’re having a hard time centering around things. You may find yourself losing your temper (脾气) easily. You might even seem to have lost your sense of humor. Other stress-related problems include difficulty in sleeping, overeating or drinking in excess.

Stress must be managed by workers themselves and by the company. Workers can take steps to manage stress. They can create a suitable plan and have breaks from time to time. Bosses can help by showing workers that their opinions may be important. They can also allow workers to have some say in decisions that matter their jobs.

  Everyone should work together to look for ways to cope with on-the-job stress.

【1】What does the article point out about the “Black Death” today?

A. A kind of serious disease

B. A bad social situation especially in your work place

C. A relationship between you and your boss

D. A lonely feeling about how you make a living

【2】According to the passage, if you have been home sick more than usual, that means ______.

A. you have failed to manage your work

B. something goes wrong with your body or mind

C. stress may be the main cause

D. you are expected to stay at home to improve your ability for work

【3】How do you notice that you have had the problem of stress?

A. You may spend time with friends and loved ones.

B. You are worrying about losing your job.

C. Your boss gives you a chance to express something valuable.

D. You are impatient with others.

【4】Among all of the following words, which of the two will you choose to describe paragraph 3 and paragraph 4?

①   Ways ② Signs ③ Causes ④ Habits  ⑤ Reviews

A. ⑤&② B. ③&② C. ⑤&④ D. ③&①

24、My name is Wang Qiang. I am nine years old. I came to America with my mum, dad and little brother from Shanghai, China two years ago. It was difficult to leave behind my friends, but the most difficult thing was learning a new language — English.

Over the last two years, I've got to understand most of the words my friends speak. But I was still often at a loss. And sometimes the words I speak sound quite different.

If it is the first letter of a word like “white”, its pronunciation is “w”, but when it's the first letter of a word like “write”, it doesn't make any sound. How can I remember all of these?

Luckily, with the help of my teachers and classmates, I keep getting better. I'm sure someday I will speak English as well as them.
