22、“Did you see that?” Joe said to his friend Bill. “You play basketball so well!”

Bill caught the basketball and threw it again. The ball flew into the net.

“But I can’t when I’m in a real game,” Bill said unhappily.

Bill was right. He played much better when he was having fun with Joe in the school playground than he did when he was playing for the school team in front of a large crowd.

“Maybe you just need to practise more,” Joe said.

“But I practise all the time with you! I just can’t play well when people are watching me,” Bill said.

“You play well when I’m watching.”

“That’s because I’ve known you since we were five years old. I’m just not comfortable playing when other people are around.”

Joe understood, but he also had an idea.

The next day Joe and Bill met in the school playground again to practise. After a few minutes, Joe said to his friend, “Practise without me. I’ll be back in a minute.”

Joe hurried through the school building, gathering (召集) a group of people.

When Joe explained why he needed them, everyone was happy to help. Joe told the group to stay quiet. Bill made five baskets in a row (连续) without noticing the people standing behind him.

“Hey, Bill!” Joe called out finally. Bill turned. A look of surprise came over his face.

“I just wanted to show you that you could play well with people watching you,” Joe said. “Now you’ll have nothing to worry about for the next game.”

23、A blind boy sat there with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said, “I am blind, please help.”

There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins and dropped them into the hat. He then turned the sign around and wrote something on it. He put the sign back and walked away.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and ask, “Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you do?”

The man said, “I only wrote the truth in a different way.”

What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day, but I can’t see it.”

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second one told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.

The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second one told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.

24、

Living in a foreign country can be exciting, but it’s also a difficult experience. Today I want to share my personal experience of living abroad (在国外) with you.

Living in a foreign country, I’m able to learn another language. I came to Turkey to learn art in a college two years ago. So far, I have learnt thousands of Turkish words. And knowing a second language can be very helpful (有用的) for one’s work, especially (尤其) for those who want to work in a foreign company. What’s more, living in a foreign country helps people to get to know about a different culture, which gives them a new idea about life.

However, there are also some disadvantages (缺点) of living abroad. Firstly, not knowing the spoken language of the country can be the biggest problem. And when I live in this country far away from my hometown, I miss my family and friends from time to time. We can only talk on the Internet. They also worry about me so much.

In short, living abroad alone is not as interesting as others expect. However, it can be an important experience that makes a great difference to my life.

【1】Why did the writer come to Turkey?

A.To work. B.To study. C.To take a trip.

【2】How many advantages (优点) of living abroad are mentioned in the passage?

A.Two. B.Three. C.Four.

【3】What does the writer think is the most difficult thing of living abroad?

A.Culture. B.Language. C.New environment.

【4】The writer thinks the life abroad is _______.

A.hard but helpful B.boring and difficult C.happy and interesting

【5】From the passage, we can know that _______.

A.the writer works in a large company

B.the writer still can’t speak Turkish well

C.the writer’s friends care about him a lot

25、   Jim and Cathy come from a typical American family. As the elder brother, Jim often o【1】 (主动提出) to help Cathy work out problems. Jim plays f【2】

(足球) with great skills. But there is a cloud hanging over Jim′s development. His mother often c【3】 (比较) Jim with other children. She always wants him to compete with others and win. This causes much p【4】 (压力) for Jim. It also pushes Jim into a crazy and nervous place. Jim often argues with his mother and the r【5】 (关系) between them are difficult. Jim doesn′t want to c【6】 (继续) practicing football anymore. I guess Jim wants to cut out all the matches.

In my opinion, everyone has his own world to look through. It′s w【7】 (错误的) to push Jim so hard. Perhaps they should deal with this problem. They should find a chance to explain to each other as quickly as possible. Firstly, as m【8】 (成员) of a family, they should often communicate to get on well with each other. It′s clear that parents can′t give children too much pressure. I【9】(反而), they should allow their children to do whatever they like. S【10】 (其次), parents should have proper communication with their children.
