20、Did she enjoy h________at the party last weekend?

21、

Mr. and Mrs. March lived together with their four daughters. Amy was very shy. Beth loved being at home. Meg looked very pretty. Jo was tall and thin and she was a tomboy. Their home was always busy and full of noise and people. Next to them lived old Mr. Laurence and his grandson, Laurie. They lived in a very large and comfortable house. But it was a house without life.

One day, Joe saw Laurie standing at an upstairs window in his house and looking down at their garden. Jo’s sisters were playing in the snow there. They were throwing snowballs and having a lot of fun. But Laurie’s face was very sad.

“Poor boy!” Jo thought. “He’s all alone. He needs some friends.” She couldn’t stop thinking about him. She wanted to go and see him, but how could she go to the house without an invitation?

Then one snowy afternoon, she saw Laurie’s grandpa go out. This gave her an idea. She took a broom from the kitchen.

“What are you going to do, Jo?” asked her sister Meg.

“To clear the garden path.” answered Jo.

When Laurie saw Jo from the window, a big smile changed his pale, sad face.

Jo laughed and shouted, “How are you? Are you ill?”

Laurie opened the window and said, “I’m better now, thank you. I had a bad cold and had to stay inside for a week”.

“I’m sorry,” said Jo. “Are you bored?”

“Yes, very.” he replied.

“Don’t your friends come to visit you?”

“No. But I don’t want to see anybody. Boys are noisy and they give me a headache.”

“Girls are quiet.”

“I don’t know any girls.”

“You know us.”

“That’s true! Can you come and visit me?” cried Laurie.

“I’m not quiet, but I’d like to come,” replied Jo. “I must ask Mother first.” She ran back into her house.

A few minutes later, she returned and rang the bell on the door of laurie’s house. A servant took her upstairs.

“Here I am!” she said brightly. “Mother sends her love and my sisters gave me this blancmange（牛奶冻）for you.”

“That looks yummy,” Laurie said. He was very happy to see Jo.

Jo looked around. There were lots of books on the shelves.

“A nice room!” she said. “I can read to you if you like.”

“No, let’s talk,” replied Laurie.

“All right.” said Jo, “I can talk for hours. My sisters say I never know when to stop.”

“You have three sisters-Amy, Beth and Meg.”Laurie continued.

“How do you know this?” Jo was surprised.

“You call each other’s names when you are in the garden. Sometimes I can see you all around the table with your mother. She has a very kind face. I like looking at her. I haven’t got a mother.” Jo felt sad when she heard this.

“Why don’t you come and visit us?” she said, “It isn’t good for you to stay in this house all the time.”

“Thank you. I’d like to come very much.” said Laurie.

“We know all our neighbours except you.” Jo said, “I’m glad we’ re friends now.”

She told him about all the interesting things in her life. She said, “Besides plays, I also love books.” Laurie loved books too, and offered to show her the library in the house. The library was a wonderful room. Jo loved it.

“Wow!” she said, “All those books!”

Laurie said, “A person needs more than books.”

Just then the bell rang and a servant came in....

22、Have you ever taken part in a marathon? A marathon is 42km long. It is the longest race in the world. To make the runner’s body work, hard training is quite necessary. A runner should start to prepare for a marathon at least three months before. Preparation may include many hours of running at different speeds and changes in diet (饮食). During the training time the runner must eat a fit diet. The diet should have lots of things needed in training.

In the early days of training, runners run 80km per week. The running is increased every two or three weeks.

Two weeks before the marathon, the training programme becomes less, from 100km per week down to 60km and then to 30km in the final week. On the last two days they may not run at all.

Breakfast should be eaten at least three hours before the race. Easily digested (消化) food such as cereal (麦片), toast (烤面包) and scrambled egg (炒蛋) is the best, with as much fluid (液体) as possible. Runners should drink water about half an hour before the race to keep up the body fluid.

24、I moved here three years ago, and because of my business, I needed to fly both to Taiwan and the United States often. When I travelled alone, I felt lonely because I couldn’t speak English well. I made a decision that I had to learn English and study very hard.

I like to be in Rita Colina’s class at the Chinese Community Centre in Houston. I have many chances to speak and talk to others. Before I came to the class, I always walked away when I met any foreigner. I know that pronunciation, grammar and conversation are very important for me, so I came to this class. It’s completely different now. I try to communicate with Americans in English by myself. It’s really great for a person like me to live here. Now I like to talk to foreigners. I like to go to American supermarkets, Starbuck’s coffee shops and the post office. I can drive anywhere I like to go because I know the road signs. Not only the skill of life becomes more flexible（灵活的）, but also I really like to live here.

I learn English in four ways: First of all, I listen to what the teacher teaches in class. Then I keep speaking during the class. Second, I do my homework right away when I get home. I memorize at least five vocabulary words every day. Thirdly, I listen to American radio stations, and I watch the news channels and other American programmes with my family every day. I ask them whatever I don’ t know. Finally, I go to American stores as often as possible, so I will have more chances to learn more new words, and find any chance to talk to Americans in English.

Anyway, the most important thing is not to be afraid to open your mouth. It doesn’t matter even though you speak incorrectly. It’s a good start. I’m very grateful for the teaching and encouragement from Ms Colina. That is the key to the door of learning English for me.

【1】The writer flew both to Taiwan and the United States ________.

A．as a teacher

B．on business

C．as a language learner

D．on vacation

【2】The writer felt lonely when she travelled alone because ________.

A．she was not very good at English

B．she couldn’t speak Chinese well

C．she missed her parents very much

D．she knew nobody on the plane

【3】The writer ________ before coming to Rita Colina’s class.

A．used to talk to foreigners

B．could drive anywhere she wanted to go

C．would not like to meet any foreigner

D．practised English in supermarkets, coffee shops and the post office

【4】The underlined word “grateful” in the last paragraph means “________”.

A．beautiful

B．careful

C．successful

D．thankful

【5】The passage is mainly about ________.

A．how the writer moved to America

B．the writer’s story in learning English

C．something about Rita Colina’s class

D．Ms Colina’s ways of teaching English

25、Dear Dave,

I love China very much. Welcome to China and play with me.
