22、Have you heard of dodos (渡渡鸟)? The dodo was a kind of bird that was very large. You might not think it was a bird at all because the dodo could not fly. It was a member of the chicken family. It lived happily and safely until people arrived. European sailors (水手) found those birds in the 16th century on Mauritius Island in the Indian Ocean.

When the sailors found the strange birds that could not fly, they were surprised. The Europeans on Mauritius Island and the pigs they brought with them found the birds very delicious. So large numbers of dodos were killed and no living dodos were found on the island in the following years. Later, the samples (标本) of some dodos were brought to England in the 17th century for the further study.

In fact, the extinction (灭绝) of dodos was caused by people. This was how the phrase “as dead as a dodo” came. It teaches us a big lesson. If we are not able to get along with nature, we will lose the things more than we would expect. And we should stop the activities that will be bad for the environment or other animals.

23、   My mother is a teacher, and I grew up with the challenges a teacher faces. I often asked her,” Why do you teach? What keeps you teaching? "The answer was always the same." There is always that one child, that one moment that is worth it.”

Now, I am a teacher, too. But different from my mother, I teach students challenging activities outdoors. And when my mother asked me the similar questions, my answer was, "It's that one child, that one special moment.”

One of those moments happened recently. I was working with a group of girls in a four-week programme. Everything went on well through the "Team" events and we were moving on to a "High" one called the Wire（钢索）Walk. In the Wire Walk, each girl had to climb up the pegs(木桩)in a tree to a wire, 8 meters high, and then walk across it. Of course, everything was safe for sure. When I asked who would try, a few girls raised their hands, and they finished the Wire Walk with little difficulty.

But when it was Susie’s turn, it seemed that she didn’t really want to. I asked Susie if she was ready. She Answered softly, “I suppose.”

Now, Susie was at the foot of the tree. She started to make the long reach for the first peg. The other girls cheered for her. Then I found Susie was becoming nervous with every step. I realized she would not go much further.

Susie was halfway up. Then she stopped and held the tree tight, looking very afraid. Her eyes were closed. With her face against the tree, she cried, “I can’t.”

The other girls sat in silence. I talked quietly to Susie, trying to relax her. I talked for a long time till I ran out of words.

“I will still be your friend no matter what, Susie!" Mary broke the silence.

To my surprise, Susie lifted her head and looked up to the wire. Then she turned to look down at Mary and smiled. Mary smiled back.

Finally, Susie made it all the way across that wire. When she returned to the ground, the first hug she looked for was from Mary. We all cheered.

Moments like this keep me doing what I do. The young hearts continue to fill me with courage.

【1】Susie stopped halfway up to the wire because ________.

A.the teacher asked her to do it. B.something was wrong with it

C.she was too afraid to move on D.it was too high for her to reach

【2】Mary broke the silence in order to ________.

A.encourage Susie B.relax the writer C.try again herself D.draw Susie’s attention

【3】From the story of Susie and Mary, we can learn that ________.

A.a good method plays an important role in teaching B.a word of encouragement matters a lot

C.outdoor activities bring people closer than ever D.helping others is helping ourselves

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A.That One Moment B.The Wire Walk C.Love and Courage D.The Young Hearts

24、   Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s. The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach (菠菜) to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people's diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.

Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron (铁) than any other green vegetable.

People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.

Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs-folic acid (叶酸).

It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.

【1】A good title for this reading passage is________.

A.Popeye the Sailor B.The Truth About Spinach

C.A Mistake with Numbers D.Folic Acid Makes You Strong

【2】Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?

A.They thought spinach made them strong. B.They thought Popeye was funny.

C.Spinach had a lot of iron. D.People liked folic acid.

【3】A research group told people that spinach________.

A.made Popeye strong B.was a green vegetable

C.had less iron than other green vegetables D.had more iron than other green vegetables

【4】The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from ________.

A.iron B.folic acid C.spinach D.exercise
