24、   My dear son,

Your letter of last week reached us yesterday, and I enclose ＄13, which is all I have on me at present. I may sell the other pig next week and make up the balance of what you wanted. I will probably have to wear the old buffalo overcoat to meetings again this winter, but that doesn’t matter so long as you are getting education.

I hope you will get your education as cheap as you can, for it cramps your mother and me like a hill to put up the money Mind you. I don’t complain. I know the clothes cost so much.

I want you to be educated so that you can go anyway and spell the hardest word, I want you to be able to go among the Romans or the Medes and Persians and talk to any of them in their own native tongue.

I never had any advantages when I was boy but your mother and I decided that we would make you full of knowledge if you keep studying hard. regardless (不考虑 ) of money.

Now, regarding that boat - padding suit, and that baseball suit, and that bathing suit, and that roller- rinkturn suit, and that lawn-lennis suit, mind. I don’t care about the money, because you say a young man can’t really educate himself thoroughly without them, but I wish you’d send home what you get through with this fall, and I’ll wear them through the winter under my other clothes. We have a much colder winter here than we used to, or else I’m failing in bodily health. Last winter I tried to go through without underclothes, the way I did when I was a boy, but a cold wave came down our way and picked me out of a crowd.

Your daddy

【2】The writer may satisfy his child’s needs by ________.

C.The writer caught a cold because of not having enough clothes to wear.

D.The writer complained his child spent so much money on useless things.

25、As December comes to an end, you think about the new year and all the ways you want to improve your life. But as you start to write down your hopes for the new year, you think about the last year. You excitedly write down all the changes you are going to make, but by the end of January those ideas get lost in your busy life.

Here’s a suggestion: Forget the too big, hard to achieve goals and just think about the small ones. “We often think that we have to do everything in big steps, even though it’s so hard for us to reach it, said Robert Maurer, who recently wrote the book One Small Step Can Change Your Life. “What we try to do is to begin with such a small step that we can’t find any excuse not to do it.”

“Kaizen”, a Japanese word, is used to mean to change behavior and attitudes. During World WarⅡ, American factory managers were able to increase productivity by trying small, continuous improvements instead of sudden changes. After the war, the idea was brought to a rebuilding Japan. It made Japan develop fast. The Japanese called it “Kaizen”, which means “improvement”.

Maurer studied the idea and did some experiments with it. “Kaizen” could possibly help people succeed in doing everything.

【1】Robert Maurer wrote a book to tell us ______.

A. we should do everything in big steps

B. how to change one’s life with one small step

C. we should try a lot of sudden changes

D. how to find a small step without any excuse

【2】The underlined part “increase productivity” in the passage means “______”.

A. 提高生产率

B. 增加成本

【3】The writer of the passage suggests we should ______.

A. make changes at the end of the year

B. do few experiments with “Kaizen”

C. do things with hard to achieve goals

D. take a tiny step to achieve big goals

【4】Which of the following is TRUE from the passage?

A. You can achieve your goals if you are not too busy.

B. Robert Maurer studied “kaizen” and found it helpful.

C. You can’t find any excuse not to reach a big goal.

26、Have you ever heard of e-waste(electric waste,电子垃圾), which can be produced every day? How do you deal with your computers, MP4 players and mobile phones when they’re broken or you want a new one?

Most people just throw them away. With the development of electric industry, e-waste pollution has become a serious problem. According to the United Nations, in 2014, people around the world produced 41.8 million tons of e-waste and only recycled 6.5 million tons. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons. China came second, with 6 million tons.

It’s important to pay attention to e-waste. It can either be valuable or harmful（有害的）, depending on how we deal with it. E-waste is a valuable urban mine（城市矿藏）. The value of the metals, like gold and silver in the waste around the world, is amazing. And the metals can be reused. But if people throw them away, the toxic chemicals（有毒化学物质） can get into the earth or air,effectingthe environment and people’s health.

Apple, for example, now recycle people’s used products in China when they are buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices. To help reduce（减少）e-waste, we can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programs.

27、When you are about to do something brave, a cheerful wish of “Good luck!” from a friend can be helpful. But if you think you need lots of luck, what else might you do?

In the UK and US there are some strange traditions for bringing yourself a little more good luck. Some are hundreds of years old and some are much newer.

Have you heard the saying “When you wish upon a star”? If you are looking up at the sky on a clear night and you see a sudden flash of light, it is probably a shooting star! Seeing one doesn’t happen very often. The saying goes that if you see one you have been very lucky, and so ifyou make a wish, it will come true.

Maybe you have heard of the lucky rabbit’s foot. Some people believe that rabbits are lucky animals, so they carry a part of the rabbit, its foot, for good luck. There are all kinds of strange, unclear rules about which of the rabbit’s feet is the luckiest. It is said that this good luck tradition is the oldest one of all. However, as the funny saying goes, “Depend on the rabbit’s foot if you will, but remember it didn’t work for the rabbit!”

People in Britain love trees. If it is autumn and leaves are falling from the trees, some people try to catch the leaves as they fall because they think each leaf they catch will bringthema lucky month in the following year—they will need to catch 12 falling leaves to have a whole of good luck.
