24、   Modesty (谦逊) is a valuable quality in many cultures around the world. In China, this is no different. However, the phrase "毛遂自荐" seems to disagree with this.

During the Warring States Period, the Qin army marched (进军) on Handan. Seeing that Handan was in danger, Prince Pingyuan asked for help from the state of Chu. He wanted to pick 20 talented people to go with him. However, he could only find 19 people who were good enough. Then, a man named Mao Sui volunteered.

Prince Pingyuan looked at Mao Sui with doubt, "How long have you been here with me?" "Three years," Mao Sui answered."I hear that a person with talent is like an awl (锥子) in a cloth bag. Its sharp point will soon pierce (戳) through the bag. You've been here for a long time, but I haven't seen any of your achievements. Maybe you don't have any talent."said Prince Pingyuan."What I'm asking you now is to put me into that bag. If you do that, I will pierce through it. But not only the point—the whole awl," Mao Sui said confidently.

Impressed, Prince Pingyuan allowed Mao to join his team, and Mao proved very helpful. Now the phrase "Mao Sui recommending himself" is used to describe someone who volunteers to do a task.

However, there is a fine line between self-confidence and arrogance (傲慢). It's important to believe in yourself, but a strong ego can harm your career and relationships.

【1】Where was Mao Sui from?

A.Qin. B.Chu. C.Handan. D.Pingyuan.

【2】How many tanlented people did the prince Pingyuan wanted to pick to go with him?

A.19. B.21. C.20 D.18

【3】What does the phrase "Mao Sui recommending himself" mean?

A.Showing modesty. B.Feeling unconfident.

C.Being professional. D.Volunteering for a task.

【4】The underline word "that" in this paragraph means _________.

A.putting an awl into a bag B.putting Mao Sui into a bag

C.letting Mao Sui join the army D.refusing Mao Sui

【5】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Modesty isn't a valuable quality.

B.Mao Sui wasn't a confident person.

C.Prince Pingyuan didn't like Mao Sui.

D.The writer thinks we should learn from Mao Sui.

25、"Tammy! Come here, please! Mother needs your help in the kitchen." Her father called out to her.

Tammy was in her room, getting ready to do her homework. "Yes, Daddy!" she replied. "I'll be right there."

She hurried out of her bedroom and down the hallway. She was only nine years old. Her elder sister, Ella, had just moved away to go to a performing arts high school in another city. Her brother, Harry, was in middle school and always got home late. With Ella leaving home, Tammy was expected to do a lot more than she had ever done before, especially now, because her mother was ill.

Her father was in the kitchen. "Tammy, I know you usually do your homework right now, but with things being different, we all have to change a little bit. I'll help you and Harry with your homework later on, OK?"

Her father had an apron（围裙） on over his clothes, and he looked kind of funny. He was doing the dishes and he always splashed（溅出） water all over when he did that. After helping her father with the dishes, Tammy helped set the table.

After supper, her father helped her and Harry with their homework, and then they played a board game so that their mother could lie down for a while.

The next morning, Tammy got up early on her own because she wanted to help her mother with breakfast. She made orange juice and even put bread in the toaster and got out the butter so that her mother could sleep for a few more minutes.

When her mother got up half an hour later, she was very surprised and moved to see the breakfast on the dining table. She gave Tammy a big hug.

"Thank you, Tammy. You really are mother's little helper now, aren't you?"

【1】Why did Tammy's sister move out of their home?

26、

Music has always been an important part of Chinese people’s life. People enjoy listening to music at home and in concerts halls. As time goes by，  music changes.

Traditional music is part of our culture， so it often stays with us for a long time. Many of the traditional Chinese songs have been around for many years. Young musicians learn songs from older musicians and the music changes only very little. Modern Chinese music， which is loved by many young people， however， is mainly pop music. That means the songs will be popular for a short time and then replaced by new songs. Today’s musicians write new songs every year and we hear new songs on the radio every day.

Before radio and TV were invented， music could only be heard live — that is you had to go places where musicians gave performances. The best musicians were very busy， so it was difficult and often expensive to hear really good music. For most people， the best chance to hear good music was during a festival or at a wedding. Today， people hear music all the time. Radio and TV play songs every day and night and you can even hear music played on the street.

One thing that hasn’t changed very much is what the songs are about. Both modern and traditional Chinese songs are about love and life. Some songs tell stories about past and some are about the news or the future. All of the songs have something to do with what it means to be a human being.

Music， traditional or modern， Chinese or international， seems to be a world language that everybody can understand and enjoy. Music changes and styles come and go， but nothing changes our love for good music.

  Music changes as【1】goes by
