24、   One day, while I was waiting for my father, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison(监狱）. The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.

At that moment，I thought to myself, “Why aren’t most adults this way?” Most adults， when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don’t even make a second attempt(尝试). They would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good excuse for themselves that they’re not fit for it. They would end up being too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure .

However，with kids，when they fall down，they don’t consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. The answer must be that they have not connected “falling down” with the word “failure”. What’s more，they probably think to themselves that it’s quite okay to fall down and that it’s not wrong to do so. In other words，they allow themselves to make mistakes，so they remain energetic.

【1】What did the little boy do when he fell down?

A. He cried and lay on the grass. B. He asked his mother for help.

C. He got up and went on running.  D. He got up and stood there crying.

【2】In the writer’s opinion，what might the little boy consider his falling down as?

A. A failure. B. A joke. C. An interesting game. D. A learning experience.

【3】In the writer’s opinion, why can’t many adults succeed?

A. Because they are afraid of being embarrassed.

B. Because they can’t find a good excuse.

C. Because once they fail, they won’t attempt again.

D. Because they don’t allow themselves to make mistakes.

【4】The underlined word “energetic” in Paragraph 3 means   .

A. 精力充沛的 B. 高兴的 C. 沮丧的 D. 愉快的

【5】What does the writer want to tell us?

A. Practice makes perfect. B. Failure is the mother of success.

C. All roads lead to Rome. D. Each coin has two sides.

25、   The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and communication means(工具).Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.

Man has been polluting the earth. The more people have, the more pollution becomes. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true.

Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.

Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.

Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind pollution, it is caused heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.

The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must pay attention to the rise in pollution at the same time.

【1】According to the passage, ________, our world is becoming much smaller.

A.because of the rise in pollution

B.thanks to science development

C.because the earth is being polluted day and night

D.because the earth is blowing away by the wind every year
