21、   Teenagers believe anything is possible if they study hard. But they often forget to think about healthy diets, enough sleep time and exercise. In fact, these things are really important for them to keep fit.

It is important for teenagers to get enough energy. Teenage girls need about 2,200 calories a day while boys need a bit more—doctors suggest 2,800 for teenage boys.50% of their calories should come from healthy food—rice, vegetables and fruit. People often say an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Teenagers also need to drink a lot of water,6 to 8 glasses a day. Drinking enough water will improve their skin.

Teenagers usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep at night, but many Chinese teenagers do not get enough sleep. A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, teenagers seem to be weaker than they should be. Too much homework is not the only reason why teenagers stay up late. Some watch TV or play computer games late into the night. Teenagers should develop good study habits.So some clever students never study late, but they are able to work well in class.

Exercise is something that can help them. Experts suggest that teenagers should spend at least 30 minutes exercising a day, five times a week. They will feel relaxed when they exercise. It can even help them sleep better at night.

22、   When I was about 15, I had a chance to perform in a play. How excited I was! So were my parents.

A few days before the show, some of my friends decided to have a picnic at a nearby lake. It was still rather cold. Mother wanted me to stay home so that I might not catch a cold, but I really wanted to go there. After making me promise not to go swimming, she nodded.

But when the others went into the water I couldn’t stand being left behind. I put on my swimsuit, too, and went out in a boat. When at last I went back to shore (岸), some of the boys began to shake my boat for fun. Just as I was about to reach the shore, it went over. Trying to stay out of the water, I jumped to the shore. I made it-but I landed on a broken bottle. My heel was cut right to the bone.

I didn’t perform in the play, but had to lie in hospital. “But I kept my promise not to go swimming,” I said to Dad. “Mary, you got only half of what your mother said. What she really made you promise was to try not to catch a cold. Going swimming was only part of it. You let yourself hear only part of the truth.”

I made a final excuse, “All my friends thought it would be all right if I stayed in the boat.”

“And they were all wrong, weren’t they?” he said. “You’ll find the world is full of people who think they know better than you. Don’t shut your ears to them. Hear them out, but listen only for the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”

It was a painful lesson. But Dad’s advice has returned to me at many important moments in my life. Since that day I’ve never had a better piece of advice.

【1】What can we know from the second paragraph?

A.Mary couldn’t swim. B.Mary organized the trip.

C.Mary’s mother thought the lake was dangerous. D.Mary’s mother agreed with her request.

【2】What did Mary learn from this experience?

A.One should listen for the right thing. B.One should listen to others’ advice.

C.Think twice before speaking. D.Truth belongs to a small number of people.

【3】What’s the best title for this passage?

A.A big promise B.The chance I missed C.An awful picnic D.The best advice I’ve gotten

24、   Sand is a common sight in the world. But you might not know that sand is also a useful resource (资源).

Sand is the second most-used resource in the world after water, the BBC reported. However, the UN said that sand is not limitless and that we might be running out of it.

Sand is made up of very small pieces of rock, soil and minerals (矿物质). It can take tens of thousands of years to form.

But now we are using sand more quickly than it is being formed. According to the BBC, we use about 15 billion tons of sand every year to build houses, roads and other things.

People also put sand in the sea to make new islands. Singapore, for example, is now 20 percent bigger than it was in 1965. Palm islands are three large man-made islands in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. They took 94 million cubic meters of sand to build.

If people keep using this much sand, it will run out in many places. For example, Vietnam may run out of construction (建造) sand by 2020, Live Science noted.

Since people need so much sand, they are trying to mine (开采) more of it. But this is bad for the environment. Mining sand may cause beaches to disappear and more floods to happen in places close to the sea. Also, this may affect the habitats (栖息地) of many plants and animals.

【1】What does the story tell us about sand?

A.It can only be found on beaches. B.It is the most-used resource in the world.

C.It can never be used up. D.It can be used to build houses.

【2】According to the passage, which country is using sand to build islands?

A.Singapore and Vietnam. B.Singapore and United Arab Emirates.

C.Britain and America. D.United Arab Emirates and Vietnam.

【3】Every year, we use about________tons of sand.

A.94 million B.20 billion C.20 million D.15 billion

【4】We are running out of sand because________.

A.there is only a little sand in the world B.we are using sand too quickly

C.we cannot mine enough sand D.our environment is badly polluted

【5】In places close to the sea, more floods will happen because of________.

A.overmining of sand B.climate change

C.the increasing size of certain islands D.the death of some plants

25、March 5 is “Lei Feng Day”. It started more than fifty years ago. Now over half a c【1】has passed, is the spirit（精神）of Lei Feng outdated（过时的）? Some people have shown us that it is not. But people have also c【2】 the ways in which they help others.

Zhao has been a volunteer for 18 years. She still r【3】 her experience at an old people’s home several years ago. An old man held her hand and said, “You don’t need to do a【4】 for us. Seeing young people here is all we need.”

Those words made Zhao t【5】: In what ways can we help people better? “Before we give a helping hand, we should find out what they w【6】 ,”Zhao said to Qilu Evening News. Besides Zhao, other people have shown their understanding of the spirit of Lei Feng. In January 2013,“noodle fever” swept Zhengzhou, Henan. One local man, Li Gang,42, said in his post that he had a s【7】 disease and needed a lot of money for an operation. However, what he asked for wasn’t charity, b【8】 for more people to eat noodles at his restaurant. Li’s post spread q【9】.
