24、   Should we help strangers? When asked this question, some answered, "Sorry, I don't know." Others said, "It all depends on the situation." Still others replied, "No, I'm not willing to do so." How does it happen that so many people refused to help strangers? This is because nowadays there are a lot of problems in the society, such as cheating, robbing (抢劫), blackmailing (敲诈) and so on. As a result, many people are afraid to trust strangers any longer and stay away from them. I think this is why my parents always warn me never talk to strangers.

However, refusing to offer help to strangers will do harm (危害) to both our society and ourselves. Actually, not all the strangers are bad people, We should ask our own conscience (良心) and try to give them a hand when they are badly in need of help. Just as an old saying goes, "A near neighbor is better than a distant relative." In fact, helping each other is an ideal way to build up a good relationship with others, which is good for ourselves.

In a word, we should be warmhearted and try our best to identify (识别) the good and the bad. Only in this way can we help those who are really in need of help to build up a harmonious (和谐的)society.

【1】According to the passage，which is not the answer to the question "Should we help strangers"?

A."It all depends on the situation." B."Certainly. I'd love to."

C."No, I'm not willing to do so." D."Sorry, I don't know."

【2】Many people refuse to help strangers because there are lots of ________ in the society?

A.cheating B.blackmailing C.robbing D.A, B and C

【3】Refusing to offer help to strangers will be bad for ________.

A.our society and ourselves B.our friends C.a neighbor D.a distant relative

【4】What does you mother probably say to you about strangers? ________.

A.Study hard at school B.Trust strangers and help them

C.Don't speak to strangers D.Don't fight with your classmates

【5】The passage tells us that ________.

A.we should refuse to help strangers B.we should help those who are really in need of help

C.it's better to stay away from strangers D.all the strangers are bad people

25、Their parents gently get into a quiet retirement after 50.

But today’s over-50s would not like to follow that.

Baby boomers believe that middle age lasts until they are 70,a study has found. They said they felt “old” only after entering their 70th year.

The findings show that in advanced years baby boomers say that they are still young. After getting their pensions（养老金）, they are refusing to quietly finish their days as their parents.

Baby boomers, or those born between 1945 and 1963, have been called the luckiest generation ever after they enjoyed rising house prices. They have enough pensions and live happily.

The US study found three quarters of all baby boomers considered themselves to be middle-aged or younger, even if they were in their 60s.

In general, baby boomers found once they reached their 60s, it was not as bad as they thought. With improvements in health care they are able to spend more time with their grandchildren, travel and do the things they have been putting off for years because of work commitments（约束）.

Mrs Smith, a baby boomer at 64, said, “I wouldn’t describe myself as old. I know clearly I’m not young.” The former （早前的）editor of a fashion magazine added, “When you hit your 50s, a new sense of freedom starts to grow in your heart.”

A. baby boomers are those who retire shortly after 50 years old

26、Flowers are the best symbol of spring. The peach blossom (桃花) is one of those seasonal flowers. It usually blooms (开花) in March and April. You can enjoy the beautiful peach blossoms in almost any place of China, east or west, south or north. But if you want to find something special, you may go to Nyingchi in Tibet. There you can see a sea of pink at the foot of snow-covered mountains under a blue sky.

The peach blossom, with its beauty, has won the hearts of visitors as well as many Chinese poets and writers. From China’s first book of poetry, the Classic of Poetry, to the many poems of the Tang Dynasty, the peach blossom is usually connected to beautiful young ladies. As one famous poem goes, “In this house on this day last year a pink face vied; In beauty with the pink peach blossom side by side.” The peach blossom makes people think of the flush on a shy woman’s face.

Because of this, the peach blossom is always connected to romance in China. Chinese people often say “to have peach blossom luck”. It means being lucky in love. And if your eyes are in the shape of peach petals(花瓣), you have a pair of “peach blossom eyes”. And you probably have peach blossom luck.

To Pete's surprise, inside were two baseball gloves and a ball. And there was a note saying "I want you to learn how to use them. You’ll want others to join you.

28、   It's as hard to be a good father as it is to be a good mother﹣maybe harder．

Does Father's Day cause anxiety （紧张）？ Does it make you wish you had a better relationship with your own father﹣or with your own children？ Was your father your friend？ Your e 【1】？ Or was he just a man doing his best？

Some men are excellent dads but they are not the ones you'll see on posters for Father's Day： they are not the smiling men full of energy， but i 【2】，they are the tired and underpaid （薪水不高的）men．

My good father was one of those exhausted men． He spent 12hours working hard every day w 【3】complaint so that we could live in a house and not in an apartment． I never thought he would  show up at school plays I was in or attend the award events． Although my father didn't feel it necessary to be p 【4】to show his support， he encouraged me whole﹣heartedly． I a 【5】his encouragement in the way he offered it and learned to play in public； it wasn't his applause （掌声）I was looking for， after all， because I knew I already had it． To him， I had nothing to prove．
