21、It was a nice winter day. After dinner, Ms. Lee checked(查看) her e-mails as usual. One e-mail caught her eye. It was from Mary, a girl who sat at the back of the classroom. She answered questions a lot in class.

Ms. Lee,

I love you and your classes. They are always interesting and full of surprises. Wish you a good holiday! Well, Steve, Ella and I want to improve our English during the holidays. We’ve no idea what to do. Any good advice?

Mary

Stopping here, Ms. Lee began to think carefully. “Steve spends lots of time remembering words, but always forgets most of them quickly! Ella didn’t do well in the final exam. She has to go over her lessons a lot. Mary will go to a writing competition. She needs to read more and improve her writing in a short time.”

Just then, her phone rang. It was a message from her best friend, an English teacher in another middle school. Her friend suggested a trip to Hong Kong. Ms. Lee told her she was available, but she didn’t feel like going because she still had no idea how to help her students. Her friend laughed and soon sent her a picture with a QR code (二维码) in it. “It’s all you want,” her friend said. Ms. Lee scanned (扫描) the code and found it was an English homework project (项目) for the coming winter holidays from English Weekly. As she read it, there appeared a big smile on her face.

22、Every day, Vicky traveled by bus between her office and home. She noticed something special about the bus driver. Whenever the passengers(乘客) got on the bus, he would smile at them.

However, Vicky also noticed a passenger who never smiled back at the driver. It seemed that he never had any clean clothes. He often made big noises when he coughed. Every time he got on the bus, he made the other passengers give up the seat to him in a loud voice. But the driver still smiled at him. Instead, the “noisy” man seemed to never see the smile.

This got Vicky more interested. Once, she asked the driver, “Sir, may I ask a question? Why don't you throw that ‘noisy’ man out of the bus？”

The driver looked at Vicky and said, “He's my guest.”

“Then take back your smile at least. Don't be so nice to him！”

“Let me tell you about my dog，” the driver said patiently. “Each time the moon shines, my dog barks(狗叫) at it crazily.”

A job well done

Whirrr. The deafening sound of a power washer echoed in the neighborhood. Earlier, my dad had bought a power washer—and we were finally going to get our deck clean. After years of using a brush, we now had a high-power, high-pressure washer: a little square machine that sprayed out a strong stream of water.

My dad took the first shift, and washed our upper deck. I watched in amazement as the washer simply left clean wood—exactly the color of the paint originally. “Wow, our deck sure got dirty this year,” I thought. However, that was exactly why we were cleaning—so that we could have sparkling floors outside once again. The machine hummed along, and I decided to change before I had to start cleaning. I put on some light clothing, since the sun was high in the sky, and a sunhat to protect my face from a sunburn.

I took charge of the lower deck. I could feel the machine vibrating the whole deck, and I nervously started on a corner. It felt as if the whole deck would fall! But after a few minutes and no large cracking sound, I relaxed and let the loud monotonous buzzing send me into a comfortable pattern. Left, right, left, right. Surprisingly, the paint on the lower deck ended up being completely stripped off! It wasn’t that big of a loss though, since we were going to repaint the deck anyhow. Left, right, left, right. Soon, I had made a large sized “hole” of unpainted deck.

I looked to my left—sigh. There was still a lot left to go.

The sun shined, and I kept going. Buzz, buzz. Left, right, back, and forth. Slowly, I moved from the top to the bottom, from one end of the deck to the other. With the last bit sprayed clean, I jumped for joy! Finally, it was done. I put away the machine, went inside and sat down on the couch, and admired my work. A beautiful deck, nice and sparkling from all my hard work!

B．the power washer

C．a mop

【3】What does the underlined word “sunburn” mean?

A．紫外线

B．晒伤

C．阳光

D．日光浴

【4】Did the author cause heavy losses when he washed the lower deck?

A．Yes, he did.

B．No, he didn’t.

C．It doesn’t say.

D．We don’t know.

【5】What does the passage tell?

A．A story of cleaning house.

B．A story of cleaning garden.

Australia is considered to be a relaxed, informal society. When greeting others, students and young people usually say “Hello” or “Hi”. Sometimes they say “How’s it going?” or “G day”.

T【4】 find out, scientists need to know if Mars ever had water. In 2004, two robot explorers(探测器), or ‘rovers’， called Spirit and Opportunity were sent to look for【5】(sign) of water. These rovers can drive over rocks 【6】 all kinds of rough ground. They can also use cameras and send photos back to Earth. 【7】(one), the two rovers found chemicals and patterns(图纹) in the rocks that were probably 【8】(make) by water.
