21、   When I was about 12, I had an enemy (敌人), a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings (缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin; I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark (标记) the points that are true. Pay no attention (注意力) to the other things she said.”

I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found that about half the things were true. Some of them couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could-and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to a very clear picture of myself.

I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty (职责). Don’t close your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”

Daddy’s advice returns to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.

【1】What does “Week by week her list grew” mean in Paragraph One?

A.Week by week she found more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.

B.Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.

C.She made a list of her shortcomings and it grew longer and longer.

【2】What did the father do after he heard his daughter’s complaint (抱怨)?

A.He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” said.

B.He criticized (批评) her and told her to change all her shortcomings.

C.He told her to write down all her “enemy” said about her and pay attention just to the things that were true.

【3】Why did the writer feel surprised?

A.Because she could change many of her shortcomings.

B.Because she found that half of the things in the list were true.

C.Because her father refused to take the list.

【4】We can learn from that passage that ________.

A.the father knows better than anyone else the truth about the writer.

B.the writer could change everything pointed out by the girl.

C.Daddy’s advice is the best piece the writer has in her life.

【5】Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?

23、Considered as one of the English language’s most talented poets, John Keats wrote poems that focused on imagination, human nature, and life. Although Keats didn't receive much education on literature, his own studies and interests brought him much success. Also, his own life situation made a great difference to his poems.

Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle­class family, the young John didn't attend a private school, but went to a public one. His mother was not well educated. His teachers and his family’s friends considered him as a common boy who preferred playing and fighting much more to minding his studies. After his father’s death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother's because of tuberculosis(肺结核), he began seeing life differently. He wanted to keep away from the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.

At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying medical treatment so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary dream had taken too much of his life，especially with his love for the poems of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, named O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written another full poem, but was sharply criticized (批评) by a magazine. However, it didn’t stop his dream of poems．

John Keats’ next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story includes a farmer who falls in love with the moon and leads him to a trip of one boy's hope to deal with the limitations (限制) of being human. Following Endymion, however, he tried something more story­based and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry because of his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the “knowledge” connected to his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would like to mix all that he learned together. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and finally take his life in 1821.

【1】John Keats' thoughts about life changed because of __________ .

A．Edmund Spenser's poetry

B．the deaths of his parents

C．the criticism of a magazine

D．his early education from school

【2】What is the common thing between John Keats and his mother?

A．They received little education.

B．They went to a private school.

C．They died of the same disease.

D．They showed strong interest in poetry.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A．Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.

B．The poem Hyperion wasn’t completed by Keats.

C．Edmund Spenser was the greatest poet in Keats’ time.

D．Keats’ family must have been very poor when he was young.

24、These days, more and more students in the UK are taking a “gap year” between their graduation（毕业）from high school and their university（大学）studies. This means that they take a year off, to do something else, before they start their studies.

For most students, spending time in foreign countries is the favourite activity-and Australia is the favourite place to go.

Many parents, teachers and business people agree that travelling can teach important values（价值）. Just like the 20-year-old young man William said, “During the gap year, I learnt to solve different problems all by myself and began to realize the importance of getting along with people of different cultures.”

There are many companies around the world that welcome these students on their projects-helping people in poorer countries, or even in your home country. Although（尽管）you don’t get paid for your work, this kind of work can teach important skills-decision making and finding ways to problems, for example-that will help a student in a job one day.

Finally, the knowledge and experience you get will one day be very useful in an area you hope to study or work in.

If several university graduates（毕业生）are making applications for the same job, gap year work experience allows you to say, “I’ve already had some experience of this kind of work.” And that can help you get the job!

【1】More and more students in the UK are taking a “gap year” ________.

A．before they graduate from high school

B．before they graduate from university

C．before getting a job after graduating from university

D．before going to university after graduating from high school

【2】What is the favourite activity for most students in the UK?

A．Spending time in Australia.

B．Spending time in the UK.

C．Spending time with their teachers.

D．Spending time with their parents.

【3】What can’t students get in gap year work in the writer’s opinion?

A．Values.

B．Skills.

C．Experience.

D．Money.

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A．Work for the poor

B．Take a year off

C．Apply for a job

D．Travel

25、Are you going to have dinner at your Western friend’s home? Then be  c【1】
