21、Many years ago, when I was working as a volunteer at a hospital, l got to know a little girl named Lisa. The poor little girl had a very serious disease and was dying. The doctor had done his best but no medicine really worked. The only chance to save her seemed to be a blood transfusion(输血) from her five-year-old brother. The little boy had the same disease before and had developed the antibodies(抗体) to fight the illness.

The doctor talked to the little boy about what they planned to do, and asked him if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate(迟疑) for a moment. He took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I'll do it if it can save Lisa."

As the transfusion was going on, the little boy lay quietly in bed next to his sister. He looked at her and smiled all the time. When everything was done and the colour returned to his  sister's face, his smile disappeared(消失) and he looked a little afraid. He looked up at the doctor and asked, "Will I start to die now?"

He was too young to understand the doctor. He thought he would have to give all his blood to his sister, but he agreed.

22、There are several ways you can find out about the places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have travelled to the places, go and see a film about the places, or you can read travel books.

It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give personal, subjective(主观的) ideas of travels which the writers have got themselves. These books can be useful if the writers share their travelling experiences with others. The second are those books which give purely objective(客观的) information of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book, then it is even more useful. The third are those books which are called “a guide” to some place. If they are good, the writers will describe and explain the place in detail. I think they are the most helpful to travelers. Like the first kind, they can be exciting and interesting, but their main purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most special way.

Whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that it does not describe everything as “wonderful”, “excellent” or “fantastic”. You must keep an open eye on its date of publication(出版) because travel is a very practical matter and many things change quickly in the twenty-first century. Finally, you should make sure that it is easy to find the useful information for your travel.

【1】The passage is written to introduce ________.

A．maps

【4】The date of publication must be noticed because ________.

A．the prices of travel books may be different

B．the writers of travel books may be different

23、Nowadays many museums around the world celebrate Slow Art Day in order to encourage their visitors to take their time and appreciate art more deeply.

In the world full of games, apps and funny videos, people spend less and less time on things. Research has shown that on average（平均来看）, people spend less than one minute on one work of art. The Internet has millions of websites, so you might expect people to slow down when they’re in museums full of great works of art. But you are wrong.

In recent years, museums have been working to change the situation. Over 170 museums around the world celebrate Slow Art Day. They ask their visitors to spend at least 5 to 10 minutes looking at just one work of art.

Slow Art supporters（支持者）believe that when visitors spend more time looking at a work of art, they enjoy it more. By spending time, they are able to notice more things about the work of art. Studying a work of art for more time can also help people get a better understanding of the artist’s ideas and what the artist went through to create the work. Most museums taking part in Slow Art Day choose just a few works for their visitors. In their opinion, when people visit a museum with lots of works of art, they feel like they must see everything in the museum. They go around like they are checking things off of a list. As one expert said, “You can’t really see a painting as you’re walking by it.”

【1】What does the underlined word “appreciate” mean?

B．创造

C．需要

D．生产

【2】What can we infer from the last sentence in Paragraph 2?

A．It’s difficult for people to choose a museum to visit.

B．It’s difficult for people to choose a website from millions of ones.

C．People spend less than 15 seconds on a work of art in a museum.

24、Debbie and Simon are students. They both have part-time jobs at a travel company. A well-dressed lady entered the office. She looked at Debbie and Simon, and then walked over to Debbie. Debbie gave her a cheerful greeting.

Simon sighed (叹息) and walked away.

“What’s the matter?” Mr. Yang asked.

“People always choose Debbie instead of me. I don’t understand.”

“I do. It’s the way you communicate.”

“How can that be?” Simon asked. “I don’t get a chance to speak.”

“Communicating is more than just speaking. Your body language is important, too.”

“Body language?”

“It’s the way you stand and sit. It’s your gestures and the expressions on your face. Your whole appearance communicates things. You don’t give people a good impression, Simon. You look down, you never smile and you don’t turn your head towards them.”

“Look at Debbie. She is holding her head up. She always smiles and looks friendly. Her body language is making people feel welcome, so they go to her for help.”

Simon decided to improve his body language. He sat up straight and tried smiling at people.

Minutes later, a beautiful girl entered. She walked over to Simon. A few moments later, she left with a smile.
