21、   My father woke me up early one summer morning when I was fourteen and said: “Get up, you’re going with me to cut the grass in the garden.”

The idea that my father thought I was old enough to help him in his business (生意) made me feel proud (骄傲) and excited. From sunrise to sunset, my father, my younger brother and I worked in the large garden, in a rich part of Atlanta, Georgia. By the end of the day I was too tired to say a word but I felt good. This was my first time to help my father in his business. I got $ 6 for my work that day.

One day my father found some leaves I had missed and pulled me aside. “Take away these leaves!” he said seriously, “and don’t make me have to tell you to do it again.” The message was clear. Today I still value（珍视） it , which my father gave to me that day. It will always be helpful to impress (给……留下印象) the person you are working for.

After two years, I left home and went to another town to start my new life. Luckily for me, I quickly found a job to wash dishes in a restaurant. Every morning, I set off early, always with the same strong wish I got long long ago. I felt like I was old enough to be independent and make a living by myself.

In fact, washing dishes was not exciting, but that didn’t matter. It taught me that any job was a good job and whatever I got from the job was more than I had before. I could learn something meaningful from every job and do it better and better. One day, a newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live with hard work and low pay. “If you only think about hard work and money,   58   ” I answered.

In every job, from cutting the grass to washing dishes, I’ve learned much. I’ve learned something that helps me in my next job.

22、   Scientists in Britain and the United States have made a new kind of enzyme(酵素) that eats plastics (塑料). With its help, plastics can be turned into smaller parts and go away quickly. Scientists believe that, in the future, it could solve the problem of plastic pollution.

The enzyme is able to break down(分解) PET, a form of plastic. PET was first made in the 1940s and is now widely used to make plastic bottles. It can stay in the environment for many years and pollute large areas of land and water. So it has always been a headache to deal with the waste from PET and other plastics.

The researchers found it while examining the structure a natural enzyme in Japan. They found that the natural enzyme was helping to break down PET plastics. So, they decided to make small changes to the enzyme by adding some amino acids(氨基酸). It made the natural enzyme's plastic-eating abilities work faster and better.

John McGeehan, one of the lead researchers, said, "We have made an improved enzyme. It's better than the natural one. And we are trying to make more improvements to it." He went on, "the enzyme is not bad for humans or animals, and it is friendly to the environment. So we are thinking about putting it into wider use."

The team is now trying to make the enzyme break down PET in large quantities (大量的). “We’ll see that the plastic pollution may be stopped with this technology. However, there is still a long way to go," John McGeehan added.

【1】According to the scientists, the enzyme may solve the problem of ______ pollution.

A.air B.water C.light D.plastic

【2】The researchers found that a natural enzyme helped eat plastics ______.

A.in Britain B.in the US C.in Japan D.in China

【3】Which of the following TRUE according to the passage?

A.The scientists are still trying to improve the enzyme.

B.The enzyme will pollute large areas of land and water.

C.The natural enzyme works better than the improved one.

D.The natural enzyme is bad for humans and animals.

【4】The passage is written in a / an______ tone(语气).

A.sad B.hopeful C.angry D.crazy

23、You may have heard of the famous saying, "East or West, home is the best.” What does the word "home" mean to you? How do you say the word in French, in Chinese, in your language? Although people usually know what the word means, it sometimes has no exact translation（翻译）. It's not surprising, because the idea of home is different from country to country, and from person to person. A home is more than a roof and four walls. It's the cooking, eating, talking, playing and sleeping that go on inside. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.

Homes look different in different countries. They also have different things inside. For example, in cold northern Europe, there's a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it. In the south, where the sun shines a lot and it's more important to keep the heat out, there are small windows and cool stone floors.

We asked some people about their homes.

"In my country many people don't stay in one place for a very long time. They often move every ten years or so. "

-- Chery, Boston, USA

What are features (特征) of homes in your country?

"In Britain, even in town, there's always a garden. We have separate bedrooms and living rooms. But we don't often have balconies (阳台). The weather isn't warm enough! "

24、When I was about 12, a girl in my class liked to point out(指出) my problems. I was too thin; I wasn’t a good student; I talked too much; I was too proud(骄傲) and so on. At last, I became very angry and ran to my father. He listened to me quietly. Then he asked, “Are these things true or not? Do you know what you are really like? Go and make a list of what she said and find the things that are true.” I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered(发现) that about half of the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change(改变) (like being very thin). But there were things I could and wanted to change. For the first time, I got a clear picture of myself.

I brought the list back to Dad. He didn’t take it, “That’s just for you,” he said, “You know the truth(真相) about yourself better than anyone else. When people say something that is true about you, you should find it helpful.”

Our world is full of people who think they know your matter. Don’t be angry and feel hurt. Listen to them.

25、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words

Part of the Great Wall in north China’s Hebei Province has collapsed because of illegal mining. This has caused an alarm to ring for those concerned with protecting one of the country’s best known h【1】 sites, which is also a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site.

The damaged part of the Great Wall is located in a remote area near the country of Laiyuan in Hebei. The 150-kilometer stretch of the Great Wall in the county was built during the Ming Dynasty, it is known as the “wild Great Wall.” U【2】 the typical landmark tourist attraction in Beijing, the wild Great Wall has never been repaired but left untouched i【3】.

Laiyuan county, which is r【4】 in metals such as iron and copper, is home to a lot of small mines. Some of them operate as c【5】 as 100 meters to the century-old wall. Mountains around the Great Wall are full of holes d【6】 by illegal mining companies.

According to villagers and local officials, about 700 meters of the wall has already collapsed, and more parts of it will be in danger if the illegal mining continues. In fact, a study in Hebei found that more than 80 percent of the wild Great Wall in the province was in a p【7】 state or had disappeared altogether.
