22、There were many plants in a forest. When spring came, a pine tree saw a red rose nearby and said, “What a beautiful flower! I wish I were that lovely.”

The rose proudly said, “It seems that I am the most beautiful flower in this forest.” Then the rose looked at a cactus (仙人掌) and said, “Look at that ugly plant full of thorns (刺)!”

“What a proud flower!” thought the pine tree.

As the days passed, the red rose often looked at the cactus and said bad words about it, like “This plant is useless. How sorry I am to be his neighbor!”

The cactus never got angry and even tried to advise the rose, saying, “Everything has its value.”

Spring passed, and the weather became very hot. As there was no rain, the red rose began to wilt (枯萎).

One day the rose saw birds put their beaks (喙) into the cactus and then fly away. The red rose asked the pine tree what the birds were doing. The pine tree explained that the birds were getting water from the cactus.

“The cactus has water?” asked the rose.

“Yes, you can also drink some from it. The birds can bring water to you if you ask the cactus for help.”

The red rose felt too ashamed to ask for water from the cactus. But finally it did ask for help. The cactus kindly agreed.

The rose learned a lesson and never judged (评价) anyone by his/her appearance again.

23、“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost everything.

When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say. “It’s cool.” You may think “He’s so cool,”when you see your favorite football player.

We all maximize(扩大)the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words, such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her student to write about the waterfall(瀑布) they had visited. On the student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.”Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.

But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏)of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility(可信性).Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.

【1】In the passage, the underlined word “express” means “_______”.

A.see B.show C.know D.feel

B.usually means something interesting

C.can make your life colorful

D.may not be as cool as it seems

24、In 1933， an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker

Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work on Disney's

cartoon (动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash's voice, he said

“Stop！That's our duck！”

The duck was the now­famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in

the film The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat (水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year，he became a star after an eight­minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinemaaudienceliked him because he was lazy and greedy (贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey's eight nephews (侄子)．Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn't a goody­goody like Mickey.

In the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966, Donald Duck and his voice disappeared — there were no more new cartoons.

Clarence Nash died in February, 1985.But today's children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.
