24、   In Britain, Australia, Canada and a few other English speaking countries, people don’t stop celebrating when Christmas Day is over. They also celebrate the following day, known as Boxing Day. It is a popular day for giving additional（另外的）gifts. It has been celebrated for so long, but nobody exactly knows how it started.

Some people believe Boxing Day began in the Middle Ages. In those days, in some special places there were special collection boxes where people threw money for the poor. The day after Christmas the boxes were opened, and the money was counted. Then the money went to helping the poor in the area.

Others believe Boxing Day started about 300 years ago when some rich people had Christmas feasts（盛宴）. They offered lots of food to their guests. Because many servants（仆人）were needed to make and serve the food, they could not celebrate Christmas with their families. To thank them, the rich people would put food into boxes for their servants to take home.

Now Boxing Day has become a public holiday in some countries. Some people spend the day boxing up old or unwanted things and donating（捐赠）them to the poor. Many people are active in helping service organizations（组织）like the Red Cross.

No matter how Boxing Day got its start, it’s a wonderful time to donate things or give small gifts to people. By doing so, you can make someone’s holiday much happier.

26、①Scientists at the University of Florida have grown plants in soil（土壤）that has come from the Moon. The experiment（实验）marks an important step toward growing plants on the Moon.

② ▲ . It doesn’t have many nutrients—things that help plants grow. However, it has plenty of iron（铁）, and is full of tiny pieces of glass. What’s more, there’s not a lot of it on Earth. In fact, most of it was collected over 50 years ago by NASA. The lunar（月球的）soil is so valuable that it took the scientists 11 years to let NASA allow them to use it.

③The scientists chose a plant called thale cress（鼠耳芥）for their experiment. They put the lunar soil into 12 tiny bottles. They got the soil wet with water mixed with nutrients. Then they added seeds（种子）. To compare, the researchers also planted thale cress seeds in volcanic ash（火山灰）. After two days of watering, the scientists saw green growths in every bottle. “Everything sprouted（发芽）. I can’t tell you how surprised we were!” said Anna-Lisa Paul, the report’s lead writer.

④As the scientists continued to care for the plants, they began to notice differences. The plants grown in lunar soil weren’t as healthy as those grown in volcanic ash. They were smaller and grew more slowly. Most of the moon plants didn’t develop well and some leaves turned red. The researchers say that the plants were “stressed” by the lunar soil.

⑤Now, there’s a lot of interest in developing ways to help astronauts keep alive on the Moon. That’s partly because of NASA’s Artemis project which tries to send people to the Moon for a long period of time in a few years. Plants could help by providing food and oxygen（氧气）.

⑥“The ability to take plants successfully with us to the Moon is how we’ll grow our own food,” said Dr. Robert Ferl. “Showing that plants will grow in lunar soil is actually a huge step in that direction.”

【1】Which of the following sentences can be put in the ▲ in Paragraph 2?

A．Plants can grow very well in lunar soil

B．It’s not easy to collect soil from the Moon

C．There are many ways to grow plants in lunar soil

D．Soil from the Moon is very different from common soil

【2】The scientists’ experiment shows _______.

A．plants can not grow in lunar soil at all

B．plants can grow in lunar soil, but not so healthily

C．plants can’t grow in lunar soil unless they are provided with oxygen

D．plants grown in lunar soil are as healthy as those grown in volcanic ash

【3】Paragraph 5 is mainly about ________.

A．how NASA’s Artemis project started

B．how long astronauts will live on the Moon

C．why scientists try to grow plants in lunar soil

D．when astronauts in NASA will be sent to the Moon

【4】Dr. Robert Ferl thinks it will be _______ to grow food on the moon.

A．possible

B．worrying

C．unnecessary

D．unbelievable

27、Everyone has worries, but what do you do with your worries? Whether your worries are big or small, you can take three steps to deal with them.

◆Try to find out what you are worried about

Sometimes you know what you worry about. But sometimes you might not. If you can’t make sure what your worries are, you will have more and more new problems in your life. So it’s necessary for you to try to find out the reason first even though it’s not so easy.

◆Think of the ways to make it better

Something can be done to help you feel less worried. If you only sit there and wait, you can’t solve your problems.

Grades at school are often a top worry for students. If you worry about your grades, ask yourself these questions:

◇How do I get ready for classes? Do I review my notes even when there isn’t a test?

◇Do I have a good way to do my homework?

◇Have I tried different ways of studying?

If your worry is about a scuffle with your best friend, you might write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game and say sorry to him or her. If you do something like that, you can get your friend back easily and won’t fight with him or her again.

◆Ask for help

When you are worried, you can find someone to talk to. You can ask your parents, friends, or teachers for help. They will help you analyze (分析) your worries carefully. They are very glad to help you find the ways of solving them, too.

28、阅读下面短文，根据中文，首字母，音标 或语境的提示，在每个空格内填入适当的单词或短语，使其内容通顺，意思完整。

Most of us think the telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell. However, he wasn’t the first person to think of the idea. 【1】 fact, an Italian named Antonio Meucci was officially recognized(认定) as the inventor a few years ago.
