22、   This is an old story. It was first told long ago. A rich man wanted to make a journey to another town. He was a businessman. He wanted to take things to sell. He also wanted to take some gold to buy some things with. He decided to take ten servants with him. They would carry the things to sell and the food to eat on the journey. 

He was a kind man. He said to one of his servants, “You are the smallest, the thinnest and the weakest of all my servants. You cannot carry a heavy load (负担). You may choose the lightest load to carry.” The servant thanked his master (主人). He pointed to the biggest load. This was bread for them to eat on the journey. 

“You are foolish,” said his master. “That is the biggest and heaviest load.” But the servant lifted up the load cheerfully and the journey began. They walked for four hours. Then they stopped for a rest. They all ate some of the bread. Then there was less bread for the servant to carry. The servant’s load grew smaller and lighter every day. At the end of the journey, the smallest servant had nothing to carry.

23、I have three children and I make them do housework. However, my mother-in-law (婆婆) doesn’t agree with me. She thinks I’m much too harsh. In her opinion, it is adults’ job to do housework.

I think our family is made up of five family members. No one in the family is more important than others, so each member should help with chores. I don’t ask my children to do the same chores, because their ages are different.

At the end of the day, after they finish playing with their toys, I ask them to put the toys away. If they don’t, they will have to say goodbye to their toys. I expect my children to set the table at night and help fold their own clothes. I don’t think I’m asking too much.

I know they are tired after a long day’s study at school, but that’s life—harsh but real. I don’t want to pay them for doing some chores. They live in the house, so they should help out with some things in the house. No one is going to pay them for cleaning up their rooms later in life and I’m not about to start doing it now.

Some parents protect their children too much from anything unpleasant (使人不愉快的) and make their children’s lives too comfortable and safe, but I’m not interested in that way. I hope my children are able to look after themselves and can be independent early.

25、阅读下面材料，根据语境或提示在空白处填入单词的正确形式。

He Lost His Arm But Is Still Climbing

Aron Ralston is an American man who is【1】(interest) in mountain climbing. As a mountain  【2】(climb), Aron is used to【3】(take) risks. This  is  one  of  the  exciting  things  about  doing dangerous sports. There were many times when Aron almost lost his life because of accidents.【4】  April 26, 2003, he found himself in a very dangerous situation when climbing in Utah.

On that day, Aron’s arm was caught under a 360-Kilo rock【5】fell on him when he was climbing by himself in the mountains. Because he could not free his arm, he stayed there for five days and hoped that someone would find him. But when his water ran out, he knew that he would have to do something to save his own life. He wasn’t ready【6】(die)that day. So he used his knife to cut【7】half his  right arm. Then, with his left arm, he bandaged【8】(he) so that he wouldn’t lose too much blood. After that, he climbed down the mountain to find help.

After losing his arm, he wrote a book called Between a Rock and Hard Place. This means being in a difficult situation that you can’t seem to get out of. In this book, Aron tells of the【9】(important)of making good decisions, and of being in control of one’s life. His love for mountain climbing is so great that he kept on climbing mountains even after this experience.

Do we have the same spirit as Aron? Let’s think about it before we find ourselves “between a rock and a hard place”, and before we have to make a decision that could mean life or【10】(die).
