24、In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible(负责任) for social progress. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth depended on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs(事件). The development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.

However, while some seem to be lost in the desire(渴望)to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the common players, they are strongly against competition. Most of them are young people who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these youngsters, I often observe(观察) in them a desire to fail. They seem to find failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: " I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try." What is not usually accepted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure(估量) of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self-worth depends on how well one performs in the competition. Both are afraid of not being valued. We can discover a new meaning in competition only as this kind of fear begins to disappear.

【1】What does this passage mainly talk about?

A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.

B. Opinions about competition are different among people.

C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.

D. Failures are necessary experience in competition.

【2】Why do some people favor(赞同) competition according to the passage?

A. It pushes society forward.

B. It builds up a sense of duty.

C. It improves personal abilities.

D. It encourages efforts.

【3】What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a desire to fail?

A. One's worth lies in his performance in the competition.

B. One's success in competition needs great efforts.

C. One's achievement is decided by his special skills.

D. One's success is based on how hard he has tried.

【4】Which point of view may the author agree to?

A. Every effort should be paid back.

B. Competition should be encouraged.

C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.

D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.

25、   One sunny day, a happy grasshopper（蚱蜢）is dancing, singing and playing his violin. He sees an ant working.

“Come and sing with me,” says the grasshopper, “Let’s have fun together.”

“I must store food for winter,” says the ant, “and you should do the same.”

“Don’t worry about winter. It’s summer now. Winter is still very far away.” says the grasshopper, laughing at the ant. But the ant keeps working.

When winter comes, the hungry grasshopper goes to the ant’s house and asks for something to eat.“If you listen to me in summer, you will not be hungry,” says the ant. “I’m afraid you have to go to bed without supper.” Then he closes the door.

26、We often reach a point in our life when we should be ready for change that will help us unlock our self-improvement power. However, there’s always something staring at us right under our nose but we don’t see it. The only time we think of unlocking our self-improvement power is when everything gets worst.

When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to stop smoking? When our lungs have gone bad. We see the warning signs and signals when things get rough and difficult.

The only time most of us ever learn about unlocking our self-improvement power is when the whole world is falling apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change, but change becomes more painful when we ignore(忽视) it, Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another. we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power not because the world says so. But because we realize it’s for our own good.

Happy people don’t just accept change; they embrace it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change.

Jane always tells everyone that she doesn’t have the courage to be around groups of people. She heard her family tell the same things about her to other people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it!

Self-improvement may not be everybody’s favorite word, but if we look at things in a different way, we might have greater chances of enjoying the whole process instead of counting the days until we are fully improved. Three sessions in a week at the gym would result in a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our self-improvement power will we realize that we’re beginning to take things light and become happy.

【1】The writer mentions the three questions in Paragraph 2 to show that ________.

A．we learn our lessons when we experience pain.

B．we are responsible for the problems we meet.

C．life fails us when we get into the wrong way.

D．life is a long journey full of ups and downs.

【2】What is the key to solving Jane’s problem?

A．She needs to remember why she started.

B．She has to know how to get on with people.

C．She has to realize she is not what she is in her story.

D．She needs to understand the importance of confidence.

【3】What does the underline word “embrace” mean “________”.

A．拥抱

B．拒绝

C．接受

D．分享

【4】The writer probably agrees that ________.

A．the world tells us how to improve ourselves.

B．people change when they find it easy to do that.

C．welcoming change in life is a drive to become better.

D．enjoying the process of self-improvement makes life simpler.

【5】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Is it important to take things light?

B．Is it necessary to embrace challenges?

C．To hold on to the last moment or to give up?

D．To free ourselves out of the box or to stay in it?

27、   An Unforgettable Day

I had mixed feelings today, nervous, worried, happy, excited...My heart went down when Miss Chen, our head teacher, said that Matthew and Beth, two students from England, would spend three months with us!

The other English student, Beth, is the most helpful girl I've ever met. There were lots of things to do on the first day. Beth offered to help Miss Chen put up all the notices. Of course, some of the credit(功劳)should also go to ME because I translated(翻译) some of the notices for her. Miss Chen praised us!

We finished all the preparations 10 minutes earlier than expected, then Beth and I talked for a while. Matthew sang several English songs and did some stand-up comedy at the party. We all praised him. When the bell rang to end the first school day, none of us wanted to leave.

When I went back home, I had a little headache. I have probably spoken more English today than the whole of last year.

It was really a happy day! I hope our friendship can continue, even after they go back to England!
