24、A friend asked me for my Calgary address last week. “Oh, are you sending me a present?” I asked. “I love presents.”

“No, it’s not for you. It’s not about you,” he said, “it’s for baby Rowan.”

Damn. He’s right. No one cares about me any more. At 5:30 the other morning, exhausted after another sleepless night, I hit my nose on the bedroom wall while walking. There was a lot of blood and I wanted comfort, so I called my mommy.

“So did you e-mail the list yet?” my mother asked.

What? Didn’t she hear me? I had just told her that I ---her daughter had walked into a wall and had likely broken my nose and would have to go to a doctor.

“We need to buy all the things for the baby Rowan,” she answered. “You’d better get on with that.”

My husband and I are coming back to Toronto for a visit next week and my mother offered to buy and set up a baby room in our house before our arrival. My list was very long and included everything for baby Rowan.

Whenever people call now, they want to know about baby Rowan first. On my husband’s birthday several weeks ago, even his parents asked how Rowan was before wishing him—their son---a happy birthday.

We took baby Rowan out for her first dining experience. I was so hungry that I thought I would faint.

“So, how old is she?” the waitress asked.

“She’s four weeks old,” I answered. “How big is your salad? Is it enough for a meal?”

Was the waitress pretending not to hear me? “On, she’s so small,” she responded. “How much does she weigh?”

“Yes, yes, she is small. Should I start with a Diet Coke?”

“She’s really cute,” the waitress continued.

Yah,yah, she is lovely but can I please order now?

All this has made me realize that indeed, it’s no longer about me. So I’ve gotten smart. At the bottom of the list of things I want my parents to get for baby Rowan, I added a few things for me. Perhaps my parents will actually believe that a five-week-old can eat apples and yogurt and drink bottled water.

【1】Rowan is ________

A. a baby boy. B. five weeks old now

C. able to eat apples. D. living with her grandparents.

【2】Why did the writer call her mother the other day?

A. She had a sleepless night.

B. She e-mailed a list to her mother.

C. She got hurt and wanted comfort from her mother.

D. She was going to see a doctor.

【3】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “exhausted”？

A. excited. B. happy C. tired D. upset

【4】How did the baby influence the people around?

A. Baby Rowan ruins the relationship between the writer and her husband.

B. The writer’s parents buy a new house for the baby.

C. The waitress became politer because of the baby.

D. Baby Rowan has changed the writer’s life and makes her feel less important.

25、Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the lake behind his house. He ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks and shirt as he went.

He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator (鳄鱼) was getting close. The mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water, shouting to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him. The mother caught her little boy by the arms just as the alligator pulled his legs. That began an unbelievable tug-of-war (拔河赛) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother did her best not to let her son go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams (尖叫), rushed from his truck and helped them.

Luckily, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were seriously scarred (疤痕) by the terrible attack of the animal. And on his arms, were deep scars where his mother’s finger nails (指甲) dug into his arms in her effort to pull the son she loved.

The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted the legs. And then, he said to the reporter, “Look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mum wouldn’t let me go.”

26、   China will cut the number of climbers trying to climb Mount Qomolangma from the north this year as part of plans for the clean-up on the world's highest mountains. The clean-up activity will include moving away the bodies of climbers who died at more than 8,000 metres up the mountain.

The total number of climbers trying to reach the top of the world's highest mountain from the north will be controlled to less than 300. The climbing season will be controlled to spring.

Parts of Qomolangma are in China and Nepal (尼泊尔). Each year, around 60,000 climbers and guides visit the Chinese north side of the mountain, but few actually try to climb it. China has set up stations to sort (分类), recycle and break down rubbish from the mountain, which includes cans, plastic bags, tents and oxygen tanks (氧气瓶).

On the Nepalese side, mountaineering trip organizers have begun sending huge rubbish bags to climbers during the spring climbing season. They should collect rubbish that then can be carried by helicopters back to the base camp.

Every year there are many victims on Qomolangma often in the "death area" above 8,000 metres, where the air is the thinnest. In 2017, 648 people reached the top of Qomolangma. Six people have died on the mountain that year, one of whom on the north side.

Qomolangma has become the world's highest rubbish dump (垃圾场). Meanwhile, melting (融化) ice caused by global warming is exposing (暴露) rubbish that has been left on the mountain since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made the first successful climbing 67 years ago.

【1】What can we guess from the first paragraph?

A.No climbers will climb Mount Qomolangma.

B.Some climbers died during mountain climbing.

C.About 8,000 people died of climbing the mountain.

D.Mount Qomolangma is cleaned up every year.

【2】Which is the proper season to climb the mountain from the north side?

【3】Which of the following is True?

A.Each year, around 60,000 climbers climb the mountain from the north side.

B.In China, people use helicopters to take the rubbish back to the base camp.

C.China has set up stations to deal with rubbish that is left on the mountain.

D.On the Nepalese side, climbers should take rubbish back to the base camp.

【4】What does the underlined word "victims" mean?

A.Persons who enjoy climbing. B.Persons who work hard.

C.Persons who help climbers. D.Persons who have experienced death.

D.Qomolangma faces serious rubbish problems.

27、His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day late in the afternoon, while working to support his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby pond(池塘).He dropped his tools and ran to the pond. There, up to his neck in the water, was a terrified boy, crying and struggling to free himself. Obviously the boy did not know how to swim. Fleming jumped into the pond and quickly swam toward the boy. He saved the boy who could have been a terrible death.

The next day, a very cool carriage pulled up to the Scotsman’s house. A well-dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Fleming saved the day before.

“I want to repay you,” said the nobleman. “You saved my son’s life.”

“No, I can’t accept any payment for what I did,” the Scottish farmer replied, waving off the offer.

At that moment, the farmer’s own son came to the door of the farmhouse, confused by who was visiting them.

“Is that your son?” the nobleman asked.

“Yes,” the farmer replied proudly.

“I’ll make you a deal. Let me take him with me. I promise you that I will give him a good education. If the boy is anything like his father, he’ll grow up to be a man you can be proud of.”

And he did. In time, Fleming’s son graduated from St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School in London and went on to become a famous doctor.

Years later, the nobleman’s son became seriously ill. Who saved him? The farmer’s son did.

It’s important to help people no matter how successful you are in life. You never know when you are going to be the one who needs the help.

Last night, I dreamt about a great flood. It was nine o’clock in the morning. My bedroom floor was a p【2】 of water. I looked out of the window. Water was e【3】.
