24、Yuan Longping, a great scientist, is the first person to develop a kind of hybrid rice(杂交水稻) which helps fight hunger in China.

Food was a big problem in China in the past. This was because China had 22 percent of the world’s population, but only 7 percent of its farmland. In the 1960s, China suffered(遭受) serious hunger. Millions of people died because they had no food. As an agronomy(农学) teacher, Yuan was very sad to see this. “How can I help them have enough food?” he thought. He decided to work on a kind of hybrid rice. It has a high output(产量).

At that time, other scientists didn’t think hybrid rice was worth studying. But Yuan and his team worked on it every day. They took very good care of their rice seeds. At last, in 1973, they grew a new kind of hybrid rice. This rice is strong. Farmers can grow it in many different kinds of farmland and also in bad weather. It can also fight disease. Its output was much greater than common kinds of rice. With the new kind, about 70, 000, 000 people could have food every year!

Yuan solved the food problem in China. But he is still working on rice. Before he retires, he hopes to grow rice in the sea!

25、In general, it’s hard to spend enough time in both concentrating on lessons and taking part in social activities. But I wanted to succeed in both. I knew this would be a challenge but I didn’t realize how difficult it was until my class in the high school began.

I got on well with other girls. After school, I often had ice cream with them first instead of finishing my homework before it was time to hand it in. I always finished it the next day between classes. I knew it wasn’t very good and the grades that I got showed I was not hard working enough. I realized that I needed to find some kind of balance.

So I created a timetable that would divide my time between studying and relaxing. It was a good idea but I was only able to follow it for a few days because it made me under too much pressure.

Later, I tried another plan. Each week I listed everything that I had to get done during the week and the time by which I had to get it done. The under the things I had to do, I made another list of things that I could do if I had time.

It worked really well. Ever since I have never missed any important things. At the same time, I enjoyed my spare time a lot.

Planning my time has been challenging, but I continue to do it. I’m glad that I’ve learned to balance things and it has helped prepare for what is coming after graduation.

A．The writer had few friends because of bad grade

B．Learning to balance things is helpful to make plans for the future

C．The writer preferred to spend more time in relaxing than studying

【4】Which do you think is the best title of the passage?

A．Facing challenges

B．Concentrating on lessons

C．Balancing study and play

26、Whenever there's a terrible storm, there are plenty of sad stories. Many people lost their houses, their cars and their pets. But sometimes these stories have happy endings too.

A family in New Jersey, US, had a cat named Vivien. She is very smart. She could even draw with her wet paws on the floor. They all love her very much. When hurricane (飓风) Sandy hit America in October, they moved to a safer place-13km away from home. Sadly Vivien went missing. The whole family were worried about her. They put up posters on the Internet to look for her. All the nine family members searched wherever they thought she could stay, but they didn't find it. The family thought Vivien was gone forever.

But six months later, Vivien showed up at their house, according to Yahoo News. They considered her return as a wonder. No one can be sure where Vivien was for all that time.

28、One day， when a boy named Ted returned from school in a hurry， her mother complained， “It is six o'clock， and your school c【1】 at four-where have you been?

“Oh， mom，”said Ted，“when we play ball games，we f【2】 everything else. We don't think of the time. Is supper ready?”

The boy's mother believed him. Ted's a【3】 led her to think that he had been playing with his classmates. But he hadn't been playing at all.

He had been“kept it”by the school librarian，because he had made the l【4】 in a complete mess. He didn’t like to tell his mother about that. He wished her to think that he had been playing.

“What a s【5】 it is for you to try to deceive（欺骗）your mother!”said something in Ted's heart， as he q【6】 sat down to his supper.

“I don't care，”said the boy to h【7】 ，I don't care. I didn't tell a lie-I didn't say that I was playing. ”
