24、   Imagine this, somebody hides free books on the subway for you to find and read. Sounds exciting? Well, British actress Emma Watson, 26, is doing it! She is known for acting as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies.

Watson hid 100 copies of a book called Mom & Me & Mom (2013) on London's subway. The book is from US writer Maya Angelou. It tells about the writer's relationship with her mother. Watson wrote of the book.“This book is one I have read before and is one of my favorites. I can't wait to hear your thoughts!” These books were put in different places on the subway. People saw Watson doing the same thing on the New York Subway this month.

With each book, there is a handwritten note by Watson. She asked people to “take special care of the books” if they found them. She also wrote that “when you are finished, please leave it on the subway again for someone else to find”.

Watson's work is part of a movement called Books on the Underground. It calls on people to leave their books on the subway, so other people can enjoy them too.

Hollie Belton, a woman in London, started the movement in 2012. She loves reading on the subway. She noticed that a lot of people shared her habit, so she got the idea. Over the years, Belton has left over 2,000 books of her own. The movement has attracted more and more people.

Watson is a book lover as well. That's why she tried it. Earlier this year, Watson set up her own online book club Our Shared Shelf She reads a book every month with others. Mom & Me & Mom is the club's book for November.

25、It was once thought that only time could mend a broken heart, but now scientists think taking a couple of aspirin might be the best way to get over a break-up.

Previous studies have shown that people experience feelings of romantic rejection (失恋) in the same way that they experience physical pain. And Psychology Professor Water Michel, of Columbia University, also believes that the psychological pain of ending a relationship is similar to physical pain, and should be treated like any other injury. “When we speak about rejection experiences in terms of physical pain, it is not just a metaphor – the broken heart and emotional pain really do hurt in a physical way," he said. “When you look at a picture of the one who broke your heart, you experience a pain in a similar area of the brain which is activated when you burn your arm. ”

Research shows that people who are given a simple painkiller, like aspirin, are able to handle feelings of rejection better than those given a placebo (安慰剂) .

‘Take two aspirins and call me next morning’ would be a cold-hearted response to a friend’s late-night report of fresh heartbreak, but it has a solid basis in the research.

【1】The aspirin is a kind of _________.

A. wine B. fruit C. dessert   D. medicine

【2】According to the passage, maybe taking aspirins can ______.

A. mend a broken heart   B. burn your arm

C. make people feel pain   D. help people get over a break-up.

【3】The underlined word “those” in Paragraph 3 means ______.

A. pains   B. hearts   C. people D. areas

【4】The best summary for the passage would be “Broken-hearted? _______________ !”.

A. Just take an aspirin or two

B. Just call me at any time

C. Just wait for a long time

D. Just eat as much as you can

26、阅读短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Some of the greatest problems we face today are the destruction (破坏) of our environment． Brown clouds, polluted water, endangered wild animals．．, these problems seem so huge．

So my family does what we can． We take cloth bags to stores instead of using plastic bags． We walk where we don't have to drive．．．

But does it do any good? When I am the only one in line at the market with cloth bags, am I doing any good? Does my walking to stores make any real difference to the world?

I recently learned something about flamingos (火烈鸟) which like to get together in groups of a thousand or more． Every year, when the time comes for migration (迁徙), a few of them first takeoff from the lake． But none of the others seem to notice, so the small group returns．

However, the next day they try again． This time few more fly along with them, but most of them still pay no attention, so they return again． They try for several times． Every time a few more birds join in but, since the thousands of others still take no notice, the great migration plan is once more stopped．

Then one day something changes． The same small group of birds once again starts flying and a small number more join in just as before, then more． Finally, they all take flight and the migration really begins．

What a spectacular sight it must be—thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at once!

A few can make a difference． Even if you're the one to take the first step, and continue trying, others will someday take notice and together we will solve even our greatest problems．

【1】Why does the writer use cloth bags in stores?

A．Because he wants to do some good to the environment．

B．Because he thinks plastic bags are more expensive．

【2】Why does the small group of flamingos return to the lake?

A．Because they are very tired．

B．Because there are some dangerous animals．

C．Because they can’t find food out there．

D．Because the others don’t fly along with them．

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The writer and his family never walk．

B．Flamingos like to get together in groups of a thousand or more．

C．Brown clouds and polluted water are the only problems we face today．

A．The writer thinks everyone should do that．

B．There are many ways to solve the problems today．

C．The writer likes flamingos very much．

D．The writer is not sure he is doing the right thing．

28、   As a child, I would spend hours 【1】(dream) about my future. I imagined having a beautiful home. I also dreamed【2】 being a teacher,【3】(piano) or world traveler. Dreaming encouraged me 【4】(set) goals(目标) and learn new skills like painting, knitting and cooking. When I dreamed, I realized the chances in life were endless.

A dream is something that you imagine might happen. Once you have a dream, you can create a goal. A goal is something that you can work towards in the future. Goals turn dreams into reality. Perhaps you want to change something about yourself. Maybe you want to lose 【5】(weigh), exercise more every week or earn higher grades. You may want to read 10 books this year 【6】 travel to another country. These are specific goals.

Once you have a goal, create a strategy which will help you reach that goal. Dreams are free. But goals have a price. You must spend time, money and effort to reach them. 【7】 you want to learn an instrument, you must take【8】(lesson) and practice. It is not always easy, 【9】 your hard work will pay off.

【10】(final), don’t give up your goals. At times, you may get discouraged, though. Work hard and you can reach your goals!

29、Have you ever heard of the sayings like “A man’s house is his castle(城堡)”, or “East or west, home is best”. They both tell us the importance of the place you live in.

In the past, people usually stayed at one ________ from being born to growing up, getting married and being dead. Nowadays, in some regions(地区), people ________ live like this, but it is not always the case.

Living in the same place does have its advantages. People are likely to be ________ to their family and enjoy the company of their friends. In these areas, people are friendly with each other and they do as much as possible to ________ people in need. A close relationship is formed there.

However, it also has some disadvantages. For example, ________ in one place are limited, so they do not have many opportunities. Besides, ________ you have a quarrel( 争吵 ) with somebody, it is still unavoidable to see them from time to time. There is no way to ________ this.

Today, a large number of people, especially the young, would rather move around and ________ their jobs. Like in China, people move ________ one city to another more often. This is good for business and culture communication, because they can see how other people live and enjoy different cultures. They also have more chances to meet different people and get better jobs. It is still a pity to lose touch with childhood friends because they have fewer chances to ________.

For my part, people’s lifestyle in the past and today has both advantages and disadvantages. I would like to see different places and beautiful countryside in my life.
