22、Bags of Love

Last year, I worked in a middle school near my mother’s house, and I stayed with her for a month. During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food.

After the first week, I noticed that the food was eaten up (吃光) very quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my mum. To my surprise, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bag and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them.

One day, I talked to a neighbour and found out that my mum was famous in the area. The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own mother. Then it hit me—why wouldn’t she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop buying food if I found out?

When my mum got home, I gave her a big hug (拥抱) . I told her she didn’t need to keep it a secret from me. And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small house. Others slept on the street. For years, she was helping the poor street children by giving them food. After she told me everything, I was so moved by how selfless (无私的) she was. She helped others in need. As her son, I was so proud of my mum.

I continued (继续) to buy food for my mum after that. But I always added (增加) one more bag for her other children.

B．He was confident in her.

C．He was angry with her.

D．He was worried about her.

【4】The writer added one more bag of food to ________.

A．make friends with the children

C．become famous in the area

D．help the poor street children

23、Experts(专家) say that students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep at night， but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard， but not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger (手指) with his eyes still closed， begging(请求) for one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of students “ early birds” in China， he has to get up before six every morning.

A report shows that without a good night’s sleep， students seem to be weaker (虚弱) than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.

Experts have ever said that the students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study late， they are able to work well in class.

A. he didn’t have enough sleep

A. If you want to study better， you must work hard at night.

B. Sleeping less means working hard.

C. Some clever students are able to work well in class because they have good study habits.

24、   Dear Mum, on this special day I'd like to give thanks to you 【1】 a special way. I am afraid to say thanks to you face to face, 【2】 I'm writing to show my deep love for you. Thank you for 【3】 (support) me all the time. Sometimes you are s【4】 with me. I know it's good for me. I know I am 【5】　(suppose) to work hard. I will try my best to be 【6】  (good) than before. 

In the past, I didn't care whether you were with me or not. Now I am sorry 【7】　(say) I didn't show you the respect (尊重) before, but I am thankful for what you have 【8】　(do) for me.
