  When Paige was young, she helped her father in the kitchen. She got interested in cooking. She watched lots of cooking shows, read recipes（菜谱）and blogs. And she told her parents, "2. I hope to take baking seriously and open my own restaurant one day."

"I was worried at first because I don’t like a dirty kitchen," said Paige's mum. "3.但是我最终承诺让她在厨房练习烹饪。" Paige's parents also bought some children's cookbooks to help her learn. 4.Paige often saw reading recipes as her biggest hobby.

  During the spring of 2017, Paige tried out for the fourth season of Kids Baking Competition, but she didn't make it. She decided to improve so she could compete again.

21、Men have always wanted to fly like birds. Birds can fly easily because they are light，but men's bodies are heavier.

Men first went up into the air in balloons. These were big bags，and they were filled with gas. Hydrogen (氢气) is a useful gas for balloons. It is lighter than air. Helium is also lighter than air，but it costs a lot of money. So balloons are usually filled with hydrogen.

Balloons have to fly with the wind as they have no engines (发动机) to drive them. Later，men made airships. They are balloons with engines. They are also filled with hydrogen.

Aircrafts (飞机) with wings now take people across the world. Powerful engines drive these machines across the sky. Some of the engines are like the engines of cars，but they are more powerful.

There is another kind of engine，we call it the jet (喷射) engine. An English engineer invented the jet engine. At the same time，Germans were also building a jet engine. In May 1941，the English engineer's new engine was fixed in an aircraft，and the aircraft flew quite well.

Jet engines are very powerful. Usually two to four are enough for an airplane，but some big aircraft need six. Anyone in a moving jet plane can feel the power of the engines. Jet planes can travel faster than sound. As a flying jet plane leaves its noise behind，we do not hear it until it has gone.

【1】According to the passage，men can't fly like birds because .

A.men don't have aircraft

B.men's bodies are too heavy

C.men don't like birds

D.men's bodies are too light

A.bag B.airplane C.gas   D.balloon

【3】We don't hear the flying jet plane's noise until it has gone because .

B.jet planes have enough jet engines

C.anyone can feel the power of the engines

【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A.Men first flew up into the air in balloons.

B.The first jet plane was invented by an English engineer.

C.1ne let engine is very powerful.

D.Two let engines are enough fot a big aircraft.

22、In some Western countries, many children do chores（家务） to get pocket money（零花钱）. They usually start to do this when they are ten years old.

School students have to do homework and study for tests. They don’t have much free time on weekdays. They often do chores on weekends.

Young kids only do easy chores. So they don’t get much money. But that’s enough. Many of them only want to buy candy（糖果）. And candy is cheap! They often help do the dishes, sweep the floor or feed the pet cat or dog.

When they get older, they want to buy more and more things. They want things that are more expensive than candy. So they have to work harder! They often help their parents wash the family car, cut the grass or cook meals.

Some jobs are good ways for kids to learn new things. For example, they can learn how to use a lawn mower（割草机） or how to cook. Of course, their parents help them at first.

【1】Many children in some Western countries ________ to get pocket money.

Tuesday is actually the best day of the week if you want to get a bargain (便宜货), according to the study of online shopping.
