21、   A young boy was playing happily in front of his house when an old wise man turned up. The old man took him to a large rock and asked the boy to push against it with all his strength.（力量）

Then the boy did this after the school day. But every night when the boy returned home, he was feeling down—because he couldn’t move it a little though he was already sore and worn out.

A neighbor saw this and said to him, “You have been pushing against the rock for a long time,but it hasn’t moved. So, the task is impossible and you are a failure.” These words cut like a knife into the boy’s heart.

Then the neighbor added, “why do you keep doing this? Just have a try and that is enough.”

The boy didn’t say anything, but went to find the old man.

“Sir,” the boy said, “I have tried hard, putting all my strength to do what you have asked. However, after all this time, I haven’t even moved the rock a bit. What’s wrong with me? Why am I failing?” “ my boy, I told you to push against the rock with all your strength. Never did I ask you to move it. Remember: your task was to push. Look at yourself—your arms are strong; your back is shiny and brown; your hands are callused（使生茧）from constant pressure. Your abilities now surpass what you used to have.

22、Join the Roller Coaster Club!

You’re sitting in a tiny car. The car is part of a very small train that runs on a narrow track. Slowly, the little train climbs to the top of a huge hill.

You’re high above the ground, so high that you can see for miles. Suddenly, you rush toward the ground at a speed that takes your breath away. You’re on your way up again, and this time you’re upside down!

You go up, down, and around. You’re on a roller coaster (过山车). Some people think riding a roller coaster is really terrifying. One ride is more than enough for them, even in a lifetime. However, other people love riding roller coasters. They ride their favorite roller coaster over and over. They also like to try out new roller coaster.

There’s a club for people who are very crazy at riding roller coasters. It’s called ACE. ACE is a short form for American Coaster Enthusiasts (热衷者). Steven Reagan and Kevin Lipnicky belong to ACE, and so do their families. Their family holidays often include trips to amusement parks to ride on new roller coasters.

As members of ACE, the boys were among the first to ride a new roller coaster at Sea World in Texas. It’s called the Great White, which is the name of a kind of shark.

Sometimes, amusement parks close the roller coaster to everyone except ACE members.

“If there’s no one in line,” says Steven, “we keep our seats and ride again!”

It’s not all fun for ACE members. They also have a job to do. They tell owners of new amusement parks where the old roller coasters are. The owners buy the old roller coasters and move them to new homes so that they can be fixed instead of being destroyed (毁坏).

For ACE members, roller coaster riding is fun, fun, fun! People are thankful to the work they do to save different old roller coasters.

24、Wild beavers (河狸) are back! Experts say that the wild beaver families are doing well. The beavers are even boosting wildlife and the environment!

Over ten years ago, a family of beavers turned up in a part of the river Otter, in Devon. No one knew exactly where they came from. It was a big surprise — wild beavers hadn’t lived in England for around 400 years!

In 2015, the government allowed the beavers to stay there as part of a trial (试验). They wanted to see if these animals could be reintroduced to the wild. The trial ended in February. Some scientists from the University of Exeter already said the beavers helped the wildlife in the area. One scientist called it “an amazing story”.

A lot of this is because of dams. Beavers build dams along the river. This creates deep pools in the riverbed and slows the water down. Scientists say this is perfect for many different types of plants and animals! Many plants are growing near the beavers. Different types of animals are also becoming more and more in the river. Beavers also help make flooding less, scientists say. The beavers’ dams slow down the speed of the river, especially after heavy rain.

There are, however, some problems. Beavers gnaw (咬、啃) on trees and this can harm them. Their dams can also sometimes create floods (洪水) on people’s land.

Beavers aren’t the only animals that are being reintroduced to the wild! In 2019, red squirrels were brought back to an area of the Scottish Highlands. Further away, the world’s rarest (罕见的) duck, the Madagascar pochard, is making a comeback. It was set free into the wild on the African island in 2019 and is doing well.

Who knows what other animals might be making a comeback?

【1】Which of the following best explains “boosting” in Paragraph 1?

A．building

B．spreading

C．helping

D．creating

【2】Why did the government want a trial first? Because they wanted to _________.

A．grow more plants along the river

B．build dams for the beavers in the wild

C．introduce the beavers to the wild

D．see if the beavers could be reintroduced to the wild

【3】What are the good things about wild beavers living on the river Otter?

A．They help plants grow and make flooding less.

B．They bring heavy rain and floods.

C．They gnaw on trees and harm them.

D．Their dams create floods on people’s land.

【4】How many kinds of animals are mentioned in the news which have been reintroduced to the wild?

A．One.

B．Two.

C．Three.

D．Four.

【5】How do you think animal lovers feel about the news?

A．Embarrassed.

B．Pleased.

C．Tired.

D．Disappointed.

25、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给)

Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. There is an old Chinese saying: “A scholar need not leave his home to know what’s going on in the world.” Reading newspapers is, in my opinion, a must for a modern person. But how do newspaper e【1】 decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?

Firstly, it is important to report news stories. TV stations can report news much f【2】 than newspapers. However, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print c【3】 different stories from those on TV.

Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and s【4】 to be “bad” news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely; instead they print stories about plane accidents.

Another factor (因素) is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more people p【5】 to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the f【6】 page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.

Today, with so many newspapers and so many television and Internet sites, people can get their news quickly. Many newspapers have lost so many r【7】, so they have been forced to close.
