21、For most of human history, people thought the world was flat (平的). That is, they thought that if you traveled far enough in one direction, you would come to the edge of the world in the end. Then, about two thousand years ago, people started to come up with the idea that the earth was round. This meant that by traveling far enough in a straight line, you would finally come back to where you started.

It wasn’t until the sixteenth century that Ferdinand Magellan’s exploring team became the first to travel around the world. The exploring team first moved west from Portugal, around South America, across the Pacific, before returning around South Africa back to Portugal. Although Magellan died during the journey, one of his captains, Sebastian del Cano, made it all the way.

In 1872, the French science novel writer Jules Verne wrote a book called Around the World in 80 Days. The novel was about a man who traveled around the world, starting from London, to win a game.

In 1889, an American journalist, Nellie Bly, was sent by her newspaper to follow the journey taken by the characters in Verne’s book. She traveled around the world, sending letters back to her newspaper about her journey. She finally arrived back home after her trip, taking 72 days, six hours, eleven minutes, and fourteen seconds to go around the world.

Even though traveling around the world these days is very easy, and can be done in one or two days by plane, people are still interested in breaking records. From 1970 to 1974, an American, Dave Kunst, was the first person to walk all the way around the world. He wore out twenty one pairs of shoes on his trip! The first airplane flight round the world took place in 1924, done by Lt. Lowell H. Smith and five other Americans, and the first solo helicopter (直升机) flight around the world was done by an Australian explorer, Dick Smith, in 1982-1983.

As for a nonstop balloon flight all the way around the world, this wasn’t done until 2002, when Steve Fossett from the US finally succeeded after many tries.

【1】Who first said that the world was NOT flat?

A．Ferdinand Magellan.

B．Nellie Bly.

C．Jules Verne.

D．The passage doesn’t say.

【2】In the sixteenth century ______.

A．Ferdinand Magellan first tried to reach the world’s edge

B．it took the first exploring team 80 days to come back to Portugal

C．a captain named Sebastian del Cano traveled around the world

D．the first exploring team had to pass through five countries during the journey

【3】Which of these people did NOT go on a round-the-world journey?

A．Lowell H. Smith.

B．Jules Verne.

C．Dick Smith.

D．Steve Fossett.

【4】From the passage we know that ______.

A．an exploring team had been to the edge of the world about 2,000 years ago

B．today people can travel around the world in two days by plane if they want to

C．during the first airplane flight around the world only one American succeeded

D．since 1872 ten Americans have traveled around the world according to the passage

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

D．In 2002 an Australian flew all the way around the world by ballooning.

22、   Great changes have taken place in people’s lives in the past 20 years. In many ways, people live better than before, as we can see from the following points.

In the past, every family had several children. They lived a hard life. Many of the children couldn’t get a good education. But people have been changing their ideas in the past few years. Now, families have fewer but healthier children. Many of the children can go to college.

In the past, people kept in touch with relatives (亲戚) and friends mainly by sending letters. Now people can talk to others on the telephone or Internet at home. Also, in the past, people listened to the radio for news and other information. But now they can get the information in many ways such as TV, Internet and so on.

Transportation (交通) has also changed. In the past, people walked to work and children went to school on foot or by bike. It often took a lot of time. Today some families are rich enough to send their children to school in their own cars. The traffic (交通) is very convenient (便利的). People can save a lot of time to do other useful things.

In the past, big families had small rooms. The whole family had to live in a small apartment. These days, there are more and more buildings, so more and more people have moved into big and bright apartments with several rooms.

All in all, I think people’s lives are becoming better and better.

23、Once upon a time, a boy was walking through a forest when he found a big blackboard hanging on an old tree. There was also a box of chalk（粉笔）beside the blackboard. The boy took a piece of chalk and started to draw on the board: first a tree, then a rabbit, then a flower...

To his surprise, whenever he finished drawing a picture, it came to life and jumped out of the blackboard. Very soon, the place became a wonderful green forest, full of animals playing happily.

Excitedly, the boy also drew his parents, brothers and sisters who were enjoying a picnic, with their sandwiches and cold meat. He also drew the paper plates and the empty bottles that he and his family threw on the ground when they had a picnic before. But when the rubbish came to life, something awful（糟糕的）happened: around every paper plate and every empty bottle, the forest turned grey, and the greyness started spreading（传播）everywhere quickly to the grass, to the flowers, to the animals... Then the boy realized it was all because of the rubbish, so he ran through the forest and cleaned the blackboard. The forest turned green again, and the animals played together for the rest of the day.

The boy never saw that blackboard again. But now, every time he goes for a picnic with his family, he is the first to pick up the rubbish. And he is sure to remind the others that anything left lying in the woods can do much damage（破坏）to the animals.

24、   We each have memory (记忆力). That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.

A good memory is a good help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remember them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not easy to learn a foreign language because the students have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too. But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercise.
