21、With the cost of living on the rise, it’s become more important than ever to watch what we spend. If you use natural gas in your home, the bill can be quite high. Don’t worry, though! 【1】 . You won’t have to pay huge fuel bills.

Try to reduce energy use

The smaller the difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures, the less energy will be used. If your thermostat(调节器)is set to a high temperature， your gas bill is bound to be expensive. Lowering your thermostat a few degrees will reduce your bill by 5-10%. 【2】. Don’t keep the heat on when you’re at work or gone on the weekends. The energy saved will reduce the cost of your gas bill.

【3】

Warm air escapes our homes easily, so adding draught excluders(密封条)or a rolled-up towel to block these leaks will help. It’s also a good idea to equip your houses with double-glass windows. If it is too costly, it might be worth using some heavy curtains to stop the heat escaping. In addition, keep your blinds open during the day and closed at night. During the day, keep your blinds or curtains open to let the sunlight in. This will help your house warm up.【4】.

Do regular maintenance(维修)

Each year, you should service any gas appliance you have, such as a stove or a heater. You should also get your air pipes sealed by a professional.【5】. Proper maintenance work can prevent breakdowns in addition to lowering your gas bill.

B．Stop the flow of cold out of your houses

22、A  I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday．The advertisement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00．Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break．

Unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good．But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes．Last Monday．I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for the bus, By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip．

So I gave up and went back to the office．The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again next day．On Thursday, my luck changed．I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly 20 minutes．When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office, I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour．Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line．I caught the next bus and headed back across the town．

By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi, it was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert．The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but felt like an hour to me．When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line．The reason, however, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets．

23、A man walks into a doctor’s office. He has a cucumber up his nose, a carrot in his left ear and a banana in his right ear. “What’s the matter with me?” he asks the doctor. The doctor replies, “You’re not eating properly.”

This is a popular joke among British schoolchildren. It reflects Britain’s famous dry and satirical way of seeing the funny side of life. This unique sense of humor is often cited as one of Britain’s defining national characteristics.

“The famous British sense of humor has long been our most cherished national characteristic,” says the British journalist Leo Mckinstry. “We have valued it above historic military victories and great works of literature, above our rich scenic landscape and our talent for invention.”

The British sense of humor differs from other countries because it is generally more negative. When it comes to making the British laugh, there is nothing more effective than a socially inappropriate joke.

Popular British comedy shows such as Fawlty Towers, Blackadder and The office are full of sarcasm(讽刺), teasing and self-deprecation(自嘲). It reflects the culture where mocking, moaning and ridicule is part of everyday life.

While most Britons don’t take these jokes too seriously, foreigners are often puzzled by them. A recent survey found that most foreigners who visited Britain found that the British are “arrogant, unfriendly and have almost no sense of humor”.

Do foreigners not understand British humor or are the British just not as funny as they think they are? Mckinstry certainly thinks the British are funny. “Accusing the British of having no sense of humor is like telling Rolls-Royce that its cars are down-market.” he says.

【1】What does the doctor actually mean by the remark, “You’re not eating properly”?

A. What you have had is the cause of these problems.

B. You are not having the right food.

C. You don’t eat the way people usually do.

D. You eat with the wrong cutlery(餐具)

【2】The word “dry” in Paragraph 2 means _________.

A. without water or liquid inside

B. special and popular among school children

C. dull and meaningless

D. pretending to be serious when really joking

【3】Why do most visitors, who once visited Britain , think that the British are unfriendly?

A. Because the British always take things seriously.

B. Because the British have no sense of humor.

C. Because the British are cold and difficult to get along with

D. Because the British have a different sense of humor

【4】Which of the following are NOT the characteristics of British humor?

A. Dry and satirical  B. Negative and mocking

C. Encouraging and gentle D. Clever and witty

24、Being good at studying is a skill that anyone can learn, and that includes you! 【1】 This article is going to show you how to give u what’s not working and focus on strategies that will work.

Organize your study materials so it’s easy to find what you need. You probably have a lot to do, so you need to spend your time wisely. Keep all of your papers, notebooks, texts, and pens in a specific place so you don’t waste valuable study time looking for them. 【2】

Create a daily study schedule for yourself. Rather than trying to do all your studies on one day, plan to study a little every day. 【3】 Then, decide which subjects you’ll study each day. Keep your study schedule in your to-do list or somewhere you can see it every day.

【4】 Try not to study one subject for too long because you’ll probably get bored after a while. Set time limits for how long you’ll focus on each subject, then change to something else. Do the subject that interests you least first so you’ll be more excited to change topics.

Take any unwanted things away so you can stay focused on your studies. You’ll have an easier time focusing if there aren’t distractions (分心的事物) around. 【5】 Additionally, turn off your TV and silence your phone so you won’t be attracted to check it.

A．Change subjects so you don’t get burned out.
