22、Not many years ago，some farmers were worried because hawks were taking many of their chickens．The farmers didn’t know what to do．Finally they went to the country officials and asked for help．

  “Kill the hawks，”the officials said．“We will even pay for them．”So the farmers began to think of ways to kill the hawks．

  The farmers killed many hawks．They no longer had to worry about their chickens．But they now had a new worry．Field mice were eating up a lot of the farmers’grain．

  How did this happen？

  Hawks eat not only chickens but also field mice．They eat more field mice than chickens．But the farmers didn’t know this．When they killed a lot of hawks，they changed the balance．

  When people move into a new place，they often destroy many wild plants．Often these plants are food for the animals．If the animals can’t find enough plants to eat，they will starve or have to leave the place．

  In one part of the USA，for example，the deer there like to eat a certain kind of wild roses．The mountain lions there eat the deer．The number of deer，mountain lions and wild roses doesn’t change much if people leave things as they are．

  But people killed many mountain lions in order to protect the deer．Soon there were so many deer that they ate up all the wild roses．Then the deer began to eat the green leaves of young trees．These trees were important to the farmers．So the farmers thought of ways to protect their trees．Now the deer had nothing to eat，and many of them died．This was another lesson from nature．

  To keep the balance of nature is important for us to rememher．

25、根据下面短文内容，在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词，使短文完整、通顺。

A person has two ears but only one mouth. That means we should listen, not just speak. The word “listen” has the same letters as the word “silent(沉默)”. 【1】  silently is a good quality(品质) that we should have. Then why is it important to be a good listener?

When someone is under too much 【2】  from his work or study, he may show his poor feelings. It’s easy for him to get upset or angry. At this moment, we need to listen quietly first 【3】 he gets calm(冷静的). Then we may have a good talk with him. Maybe it is a good way to help him 【4】.

Sometimes, we may think our parents are always talking too much. But in fact, they do so because they are worried about our health or just expect to help us if we have difficulty 【5】  our study. If we listen carefully and patiently, our parents will feel we care about them. A loving silence is often more powerful than words.

Sometimes, we just want others to listen to us but forget to listen to others. If so, don’t be 【6】  when others get unhappy suddenly( 突然). That’s because you are not polite(礼貌) and you may not realize it. In order to show our respect( 尊重)for others, we’d better listen to them first. Then we can tell them 【7】  we are thinking.

Easier said than done. Every head is a world. So we should learn to listen with our ears, eyes and hearts as much as we can, and try to 【8】 ourselves good listeners from now on.
