21、In life, many people are always ready to help others and they ask for nothing in return. We call those people volunteers. But why do they do that? Read on.

Volunteering is good for your resume. Your experience of being a volunteer gives the interviewer（面试者）a clearer picture of who you are. According to a survey, 1 out of 5 interviewers in the US agreed that volunteer experience was an important reason for giving someone a job.

“Doing good” is important. Every day we may watch or hear sad news and stories. However, volunteering is a good way to make the world a better place. Even a simple thing can make a difference. If we all join together, those simple things can add up to a big change!

23、I watched the film Better Days (少年的你) with a sad feeling several days ago. The film deepened my understanding of school bullying (欺凌). I used to think school bullying was far from us, but that is not true. Many teenagers suffer from school bullying. The reason why we don’t know about their suffering is that many of them don’t dare to speak out about their experiences. Some do speak out, but no one around them is willing to help them go through their terrible days. The effect of school bullying on the victim can last a lifetime. It’s time we did something about this problem.

First of all, I think we need stricter school rules. Many boys and girls bully others because the school rules hardly solve bullying incidents (事件).

Second, it is important for teachers and parents to discover the incidents in time. As students, we should report school bullying incidents to our teachers or parents as soon as possible.

Last but not least, we should try our best to prevent (阻止) school bullying from happening. Perhaps schools can pay more attention to students’ mental (心理的) health since scientists have found bullies are nearly twice as likely to have mental health problems.

I’d like to call on all schools and families to pay more attention to school bullying. I hope all students can have a happy school life.

【1】The writer thought school bullying was ________ before watching the film.

A．rare (少见的)

B．common

C．necessary

D．important

【2】What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “victim”?

A．欺凌者

B．受害者

C．反对者

D．支持者

【3】Why do many students like bullying others?

A．Because it is difficult for school rules to solve bullying incidents.

B．Because teachers don’t dare to solve bullying incidents.

C．Because the victims never speak out about their experiences.

D．Because school bullying can have a lifetime effect on the victims.

【4】Which of the following is NOT true?

A．Teachers and parents should discover bullying incidents in time.

B．Students should report school bullying incidents to their teachers or parents.

C．Many victims have mental health problems before they’re bullied.

D．Schools and families should pay more attention to school bullying.

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

A．The film Better Days

B．Say no to school bullying

C．Why bullying incidents happen

D．Pay more attention to students’ mental health

24、   Why do plants grow in some places and not in others? Why does some land have so much growing on it, while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all?

To grow, plants need several things. One is warmth. In very cold places almost nothing grows. Plants also need water. In very dry parts of the earth only a few unusual plants can grow. That’s why dry deserts everywhere are almost not covered by trees or grass.

Plants must also have a place in which to put down their roots and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is built on hard land. The plants here have only the soil found between the cracks (缝隙) of the stones to grow in.

Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food.

What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants, such as beach grass, will grow in sand, but most plants won’t. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day, many of them will die because the sand on this beach has almost no food for plants.

【1】According to the passage, plants need ________ things to grow well.

A.two B.three C.four D.five

【2】From the passage, we can know it is ________ for plants to grow in dry places.

A.easy B.difficult C.impossible D.important

【3】The reason why most plants can’t grow on the sandy beach is that ________.

A.there isn’t enough sunlight B.there is too much water

C.it is too crowded there D.it has little food for plants

Do you have the ability (能力) to live cheaply? Now here’s a true story of an American girl, Judy. After Judy left university, 【1】 began to live in New York City on her own.
