21、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.

After learning that, teachers helped her in any way they could. Sheryl Kolton, a bus driver at Bums, even let Dawn live at her house.

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. In her spare time, she gave out newspapers and did some other part-time jobs to make extra money. At the same time, she got A’s in all subjects.

“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.

22、For most of human history, people thought the world was flat (平的). That is, they thought that if you traveled far enough in one direction, you would come to the edge of the world in the end. Then, about two thousand years ago, people started to come up with the idea that the earth was round. This meant that by traveling far enough in a straight line, you would finally come back to where you started.

It wasn’t until the sixteenth century that Ferdinand Magellan’s exploring team became the first to travel around the world. The exploring team first moved west from Portugal, around South America, across the Pacific, before returning around South Africa back to Portugal. Although Magellan died during the journey, one of his captains, Sebastian del Cano, made it all the way.

In 1872, the French science novel writer Jules Verne wrote a book called Around the World in 80 Days. The novel was about a man who traveled around the world, starting from London, to win a game.

In 1889, an American journalist, Nellie Bly, was sent by her newspaper to follow the journey taken by the characters in Verne’s book. She traveled around the world, sending letters back to her newspaper about her journey. She finally arrived back home after her trip, taking 72 days, six hours, eleven minutes, and fourteen seconds to go around the world.

Even though traveling around the world these days is very easy, and can be done in one or two days by plane, people are still interested in breaking records. From 1970 to 1974, an American, Dave Kunst, was the first person to walk all the way around the world. He wore out twenty one pairs of shoes on his trip! The first airplane flight round the world took place in 1924, done by Lt. Lowell H. Smith and five other Americans, and the first solo helicopter (直升机) flight around the world was done by an Australian explorer, Dick Smith, in 1982-1983.

As for a nonstop balloon flight all the way around the world, this wasn’t done until 2002, when Steve Fossett from the US finally succeeded after many tries.

【1】Who first said that the world was NOT flat?

A．Ferdinand Magellan.

B．Nellie Bly.

C．Jules Verne.

D．The passage doesn’t say.

【2】In the sixteenth century ______.

A．Ferdinand Magellan first tried to reach the world’s edge

B．it took the first exploring team 80 days to come back to Portugal

C．a captain named Sebastian del Cano traveled around the world

D．the first exploring team had to pass through five countries during the journey

【3】Which of these people did NOT go on a round-the-world journey?

A．Lowell H. Smith.

B．Jules Verne.

C．Dick Smith.

D．Steve Fossett.

【4】From the passage we know that ______.

A．an exploring team had been to the edge of the world about 2,000 years ago

B．today people can travel around the world in two days by plane if they want to

C．during the first airplane flight around the world only one American succeeded

D．since 1872 ten Americans have traveled around the world according to the passage

【5】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Both Jules Verne and Nellie Bly wrote about traveling around the world.

B．About one hundred years ago, a Frenchman traveled around the world in 80 days.

C．It took Dave Kunst more than 6 years to travel around the world on foot.

D．In 2002 an Australian flew all the way around the world by ballooning.

23、   As I enjoyed the soft sunshine in the pool, my 8-year-old daughter swam up behind me.

"Guess who, Mommy?" she said.

"No idea. Who is this mystery (神秘的) person?" I joked.

The pair of us talked and laughed together for the rest of the afternoon.

"Remember this," I told myself. "You are happy, right here, right now."

Fast forward a few months, and my thoughts sounded different.

"Just keep going," I would think, or, "How many sleeps until the weekend?"

I didn't like what I was like—someone sleepwalking (梦游) through the week, running on coffee and too tired at night to do anything but watch TV. I thought the Christmas break would recognize (使再次充满活力) me, making me ready to take on another year of early starts. But I had to listen to my heart.

My patient husband and friends had listened to me going over the decision for six months, but the time for talking was over. It was time to make my choice: My daughter needed me and I needed her.

When she was really young, I loved the freedom of going to work as the sun was rising, happy that my family was still sound asleep. Then later, my daughter would set her alarm (闹钟) so she could wake up early with me to chat in the dark together.

The morning I planned to tell everyone I was quitting (放弃) my job, we sat together on the couch. I told her how nervous I was about sharing my news in a few hours' time. Stroking (抚摸) her hair, I asked my daughter what she thought about my decision. "We'll be so much happier, Mommy," she said.

Life is never simply a choice between job and family. Ask anyone, and family always comes first.

Besides, I'm not disappearing— there are plenty of projects to keep me fulfilled.

Who knows what's ahead?

Nobody knows what the future holds, but when it comes to my own, I can make sure it will be filled with long afternoons in the pool with my daughter.

【1】What's the writer's main propose in writing the first five paragraphs?

A.To show how lovely her daughter is.

B.To show she's happy when spending time with her daughter.

C.To explain how important her daughter is in her life.

D.To advise parents to play more with their children.

【2】What was the writer’s life like a few months ago?

A.Her work took up much of her energy every day.

B.She kept a balance (平衡) between family and job.

C.She enjoyed the freedom of getting up early.

D.She asked her daughter to wake up early every morning.

【3】Why did the writer want to quit her job?

A.She dreamed of trying something new and exciting.

B.She wanted to spend more time with her family.

C.She was treated unfairly at work.

D.Her husband and friends advised her to take a break.

【4】The best title of the article is__________.

A.Daughter and I B.Family always comes first

C.Making the right choice D.The afternoon in the pool
