21、   On June1, many children have fun because it is Children’s Day. But do you know that it is also the World Milk Day? The World Milk Day began on June1, 2001. People from Germany first started this day.

On that day, people will know more about milk and know why people need milk. Milk is called “the best medicine” because it can help people become healthier and stronger. It can also help people sleep better if they drink milk before they go to sleep. Scientists say that it is a good idea for people to drink 2 cups of milk every day. But you’d better not drink milk together with chocolate and oranges, or you’ll feel sick.

Do you drink milk very day? June1 is coming soon. Let’s come up with a plan to celebrate the World Milk Day.

根据短文内容, 判断下列句子正（T）误（F）。

【1】Milk is called "the best medicine".

【2】We should drink milk with oranges in order to keep healthy.

【3】We should drink at least three cups of milk every day.

【4】American people first started the World Milk Day.

【5】The World Milk Day is on June 1.

22、   Is it possible to learn about the history of the world in just one day? Maybe — if you visit an exhibition called “A History of the World in 100 Objects.”

The objects are from the famous British Museum. “A History of the World in 100 Objects” is one of the museum’s greatest exhibitions. Now it comes to China for the very first time. The exhibition opened in the National Museum of China in Beijing on March 2 and will last until May 31.

The British Museum spent four years carefully choosing the 100 objects from its huge collection of eight million things. They had to stand for different times and cultures.

“The objects have to cover the whole world. They range (包括) from a cooking pot to a golden galleon (西班牙大型帆船), from a Stone Age tool to a credit card (信用卡),” Neil MacGregor, former director of the British Museum, wrote in a book. He was in charge of choosing the objects.

For example, there is a seal (印章) that people in the Indus Valley (印度河流域) used in around 2500 B.C.（公元前）. There is also a tablet (匾额) that people used in around 700 B.C. in the Middle East. But modern objects like a solar-powered lamp are also on display. They show the results of scientific development.

Of course, there is no lack (缺少) of objects from China. You will see a bronze (青铜) bell from the time of Confucius (孔子). There is also a banknote from the Ming dynasty, showing that China was the first country to use paper money.

【1】“A History of the World in 100 Objects” is ________.

A.a history movie B.a book by Neil MacGregor

C.an exhibition D.a museum

【2】“A History of the World in 100 Objects” will last for almost ________ in Beijing.

A.a banknote and a credit card

B.a tablet and a bronze bell

C.a seal and a solar-powered lamp

D.a credit card and a solar-powered lamp

23、“Let’s go on a horse instead of by bicycle,” said Bob. And he took two of his friends into the mountains. They put up their tents and then rode off to a forest to see how the trees were growing.

In the afternoon when they were about ten kilometers from their camp, it started to snow. More and more snow fell. Soon Bob could not find the road. Bob knew there were two roads. One road went to the camp, and the other went to his house. But all was white snow on the ground. Everything was the same. How could he take his friends back to the camp?

Bob had an idea. The horses! Let the horses take them back! But what would happen if the horses took the road to his house? That would be a trip of thirty-five kilometers in such cold weather!

24、Flow like the river of change

Little stream ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself. 

At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze(微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, ‘‘That’s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.” 

“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The breeze can carry the vapor(蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life. 

The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are.

【4】The little stream finally crossed the desert by __________.

A.evaporating into the breeze B.forming a river

C.disappearing into the sand D.changing her nature

【5】What does the story mainly tell us?

A.The road to success is not always easy and smooth.

B.Whatever others say, we should always be ourselves.

C.To succeed, we should change the way we are if necessary.

D.We may experience difficulty in life just like the little stream.
