21、   There’s always something deep in our soul that never dies. I moved to the small, busy town of Edison in New Jersey six years ago. It was during the second term of my fifth grade. My parents got new jobs and higher income, so they decided it was time to move from Woodbridge to a better, more educational town.

In the US, it is unnecessary to take a test to get into a “good” middle or high school. You just attend the school close to where you live. So, many parents will think about the quality (质量，品质) of the local school when they decide to buy a new house. My parents did the same. We finally chose Edison mainly because of the high quality of its school.

In New Jersey, an area with a good school usually means a concentration of Asian people. There are about 300 students in our school. 55% are Asians and just under half of that are Chinese. There are so many Chinese people nearby that we even have our own Chinese school.

Edison is an old town, just like thousands of others in the United States. However, I have treated it as my hometown. That’s where I spend much of my youth, and the memories there can’t be moved at all.

【1】Why did the writer’s parents move to Edison?

A.Because they were born there. B.Because it was a better educational town.

C.Because the writer began his fifth grade. D.Because the writer didn’t need to take a test.

【2】How many students are from Asia in the writer’s school?

A.About 80. B.About 160. C.About 220. D.About 300.

【3】What does the underlined expression “a concentration of” mean in Paragraph 3?

A.A small number of B.The whole of C.A large number of D.None of

【4】Why can’t the writer forget Edison?

A.Because he regards it as his hometown. B.Because his parents got new jobs there.

C.Because there are many Asians there. D.Because it is in the state of New Jersey.

22、People often remember what they were doing when they heard the news of important events in history. In America, for example, many people remember what they were doing on April 4, 1968. This was an important event in American history. On this day, Dr. Martin Luther King was killed. Although some people may not remember who killed him, they remember what they were doing when they heard the news.

Robert Allen is now over 50, but he was a school pupil at that time. “I was at home with my parents,” Robert remembers. “We were eating dinner in the kitchen when we heard the news on the radio. The news reporter said ‘Dr. King died just 10 minutes ago.’ My parents were completely shocked! My parents did not talk after that, and we finished the rest of our dinner in silence.”

More recently, most Americans remember what they were doing when the World Trade Center in New York was taken down by terrorists. Even the date—September 11, 2001—has meaning to most Americans.

This was a day Kate Smith will never forget. She remembers working in her office near the two towers. “Damon, one of my colleagues, shouted that a plane just hit the World Trade Center! I didn’t believe him at first, but then I looked out of the window and realized that it was true. I was so terrified that I could hardly think clearly after that.”

Once a bird lived unhappily. So it traveled far away to look for its happiness.

The little bird asked the spider in surprise. “Why don’t you have pain but happiness on your face though you fail again and again?”

“Because I keep making my efforts. I’m happy.” said the spider.

Then the little bird saw it: happiness is a will in the heart.

The bird continued flying and saw a lame duck help a little duck who got lost to find the way back home. Although it was disabled, it had a smiling face.

“I’m happy because I can help others.” said the lame duck.

So the bird saw it: happiness is a love in the heart.

The bird went on flying and suddenly saw a little dying flower, whose face was full of smile. The bird didn’t know the reason. So it asked the little flower, “You’re going to die. Why are you still so happy?

“Because my dream will come true,” said the little flower.

“What is your dream?”

“To produce sweet fruit.”

The little bird saw it: happiness is a hope in the heart.
