21、“I hate school, and I’m not going back!” Many kids have that thought sometimes. Usually this feeling doesn’t stay long, but it does harm to your healthy life. You might be stressed out, thus you have no ideas about what to do. In the morning, you might not know what to eat or what to wear. Having bad sleeping is another sign of stress. If one doesn’t have enough sleep, he may be tired and unhappy. However, where does the stress come from? Sometimes it’s a problem with your classes and schoolwork. Maybe the homework is too easy and you get bored. Or maybe the homework is too difficult and you don’t feel as clever as the other kids. Reading may be difficult for you, but you have to do a lot of it. You may be getting behind, and it may seem that you will never catch up with others.

When you know why you don’t like school, you can find ways to make things better. It’s a good idea to talk to someone about your problems at school. Your mom, dad, friends, teachers, or even classmates will be able to help you. Another good idea is to write down your feeling about school. For example, keep a diary or just write in a notebook. It’s a great way to relax yourself and you don’t have to share what you have written with others. Making a “don’t like” list is also a great idea. The next time you find yourself disliking school, try to find out everything you dislike or enjoy — even there is only one thing. See what you can change on the list. You may ask yourself, “Could I find a way to show my special interests and talents on what I like? Which activities could I try that would help to solve these ‘don’t like’ problems? What should I do to take up a new hobby and make myself relaxed?” Think more about what you can change and you might be able to put the good feeling back in school.

【1】What may be the reason for why you don’t like school?

A．Reading may not be difficult.

B．The homework is too much.

C．Having a lot of pressure.

D．Being as clever as others.

【2】How many ways are there in paragraph 2 to make things better if you don’t like school?

A．Two.

B．Three.

C．Four.

D．Five.

【3】We can know from the passage that __________.

A．most students hate school in one way

B．all the students have the same problem

C．making a list can solve all your problems

D．a diary is something kept to oneself

【4】The underlined sentence “Think more about what you can change” means __________.

A．find more ways to change things better

B．just wait and think all the time

C．have a good feeling in homework

D．write more on the “don’t like” list

【5】This article mainly gives you some advice on __________.

A．how to face difficulties in studies

B．what to do if you don’t like school

C．how to have good sleeping

D．what to write in your diary

23、My grandfather often complains about how things have changed, and says that life used to be better.

Families aren’t families the way they used to be. Many people are divorced（离婚的）. If husband and wife are having problems with their marriage, they don’t stay together any more. And mothers used to stay at home to take care of their children, but now not any more. Everyone’s working. No one has time for children any more. They are left for their grandparents.

And the cars! No one walks any more; everyone drives. We used to walk five miles to school every day, even in winters. And in school, the children don’t have to think any more. In math class, for example, we used to add, minus, multiply, and divide in our heads. Kids don’t use their heads any more; they use calculators.

Most families have computers now. In the old days, we didn’t have computers. We didn’t even have electricity. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. Nobody eats home-cooked food any more. And people don’t talk to each other any more. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think…

Life used to be simple, but it isn’t any more.

24、Recycling is a good way to make used material useful again. But it doesn’t mean the more material we recycle, the better the environment will be. It’s our duty to make less waste to protect the environment. When we collect waste paper or bottles for recycling, we’re doing something useful to improve the environment.

There are still many things to do besides recycling. We must stop making so much waste. We must stop throwing so many things away. We need to find ways to use things again and again. Here’s something that we can do to make the environment better:

●We may carry a lunch box instead of a bag that we should throw away.

●We may give the old clothes to someone who needs them instead of throwing them into a dustbin.

●When we go shopping, we may carry a basket with us. When we use a basket, there will be fewer paper or plastic bags.

If we keep the suggestions in mind and follow them, we’ll make less waste and the world will become much more beautiful.

25、Manners used to be an important part of life in America. These days, people eat a【1】 more often, sometimes maybe just some fast food. We are o 【2】of practice (实践). I like to be a gentleman  a person who m【3】 everyone around me feel as comfortable as possible.

Edmund Spenser, an English poet, said, "The gentle mind by gentle deeds is known; For a man by nothing is so well betrayed (背叛) as by his m【4】 ."
