22、It was a bright Sunday evening. Ella’s parents were having a party. Her mother was a famous scientist, and she introduced Ella to another scientist she worked with.

24、The Big Lottery is giving money to groups of teenagers between 14 and 19 who want to become active citizens. The teenagers who would like to help make the area you live in better, cleaner, safer and friendlier can actually get money for improving your local community（社区）. We have $80,000 to give away. We are looking for young people to take part in schemes（规划）and projects near where they live.

Here are a few easy things you could do to get started.

Meeting the neighbours: Everybody needs good neighbours. Knock on people’s door and find out what they would like to improve in your area. Set a date for a meeting and then make some plans together. If you don't want to go to their houses, then you could always put a note through their doors.

Neighbourhood Watch: Neighbourhood watch schemes are very popular in the UK. If you go away on holiday and leave your house, it’s very nice to know that a neighbour is keeping an eye on it. It’s a good way to make the area you live in safer. You could set one up easily and quickly.

Lending a hand: There are often elderly people living in the neighbourhood who may not be able to do the things that you can. Offer to do their shopping once a week, look after their garden for them or maybe walk their dog.

No littering: Nobody likes picking up other people's rubbish, but a clean street can make all the difference. Take turns to go out once or twice a week and see what you can find. You never know that one day you might find something valuable.

Recycling: Nearly two-thirds of your rubbish can be recycled. Some areas have already provided places for people to recycle bottles, tins, plastic and paper. Find out if this is done in your neighbourhood. If it’s not, do something about it.

So go on...Just tell us what kind of project you want to join in. Then well send you more details. Take positive action and help make your neighbourhood a better place to live.

【1】The aim of the Big Lottery is _________.

A．to make the neighbourhood busier

B．to help the old people in the community

C．to improve the local community

D．to help young babies in the neighbourhood

【2】Who is needed to take part in the project？

A．Anyone who wants to.

B．All teenagers.

C．Students in the neighbourhood.

D．Teenagers from 14 to 19.

【3】Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5 tell us _________.

A．neighbourhood watch is good to make the community cleaner

B．how to make the community safer and friendlier

C．lending a hand means lending some money to others

D．to help neighbours do what they wouldn’t like to do

【4】What should you do if you want to make the neighbourhood cleaner？

A．Recycle the rubbish and take turns to pick up others’ rubbish.

B．Pick up the rubbish and find something valuable in the street.

C．Find out the recycled rubbish and throw it everywhere.

D．Try to recycle three-fourths of my rubbish once or twice a week.

25、   English is difficult to learn because it is so different 【1】 (介词) our mother tongue(母语). Also, we don’t have 【2】 (many) chance to speak English with foreigners or hear real English.

So the first important thing for us to do, I think, is to practise 【3】 (speak) English more both in and out of class. In class I listen to the teacher 【4】 (careful) and try my best to 【5】 (answer) the teacher’s questions in English. After class, I listen to the tapes and wonderful English songs. I often retell the texts in my own words. I always work hard at English and 【6】 (频度副词) give up.

Of course this is not enough. When I find something 【7】 (interest), I wrote it down 【8】 (介词) English. At first, I couldn’t write 【9】 (good), but with the help of my teacher, I have made great 【10】 (progress).
