21、   Many people do not like to stay at home on holidays. They want to go out to see something different or do something interesting. So people from the country come to the city and people from the city go to the country for holidays. During the holidays, trains, buses, planes are all very busy. It is very hard to buy train tickets or air tickets. Many people take cars or buses for travelling.

Last May Day my family went to the country by car for our holiday. There was too much traffic on the road, so we had to move very slowly. It took us about an hour to get out of the town. After some time, we came to a hill. It was green and beautiful. We thought this was a good place for a picnic, so we stopped and took the food and drinks out of the car. We sat down and began to eat. Suddenly a strong wind blew and soon it started to rain. We had to run back to our car and have our picnic in the car. Then we drove back home. What a pity!

22、We know that disabled people are seldom shown in advertisement on television. If they really are, it is usually to make people feel sad for them. It is important to find out what would be the most helpful to the other person, instead of supposing that you know. This may take time. Some people become impatient. Others may be too selfish to make the effort. Remember that disabled people may do things in a different way from you. All it needs is a little thought. Whether disabled or not, we can all learn from each other. Disabled people necessarily make themselves brave. They probably feel that they have to adapt to（适应）their situation（处境）. They have learnt not to give up, but to keep on trying. Life isn’t always fair. Sometimes we have to deal with difficult situations. Having to face a challenge can often help us to have a better understanding of ourselves and of other people.

It is not helped to treat disabled people as if they all have the same feelings and needs. And it’s important for us to know what kind of help the disabled person would welcome.

Some people often think disabled people are poor and have mercy（怜悯）on them. In face this can be offensive because it may be unkind and hurt.

A. happy   B. exciting   C. angry   D. sorry

23、“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.”
