24、   Meat can be tasty. It is often good for us and it has been part of our meals for hundreds of thousands of years. However, some organizations, such as the Soil Association, say meat should not be eaten every day, especially in schools. This is because farming animals for meat can be bad for the environment and lead to climate (气候）change. The Soil Association wants schools to have more plant-based meal choices that don’t have meat and that do not cause environmental problems. The Government already advises that schools have one no-meat day each week, but not all schools follow this advice. So what do you think? Should schools be made to have one completely no-meat day each week?

Yes - it’s important to protect the climate

Everyone needs to do their bit to help the planet, and eating less meat is a good start. Although meat can be healthy and is good for us in the right amounts, eating it every day means a lot of animals have to be farmed. This uses up valuable things such as water and land. The animals themselves add to climate change by producing a gas called methane. Besides, it’s not necessary to eat meat every day. There are many ways to get the nourishment we need to be healthy. We could eat foods like beans, nuts, potatoes and so on. What’s more, eating more plant-based foods will save schools’ money because they are cheaper than meat. This money could be used on books and school trips.

No-_____________

Students should be able to decide what they eat - it is a personal choice. Some students, for example, might eat a little bit of meat each day, but less overall. Besides, meat is full of healthy vitamins and nutrients needed for growth. If schools don’t serve meat, they might end up serving chips and junk food instead, which wouldn’t be healthier. It’s right to tell and educate young people about climate change and the results of the farming industry, but they should be encouraged to change their eating habits rather than being told that they have to. Making people change their habits doesn’t always mean people can change their minds.

【1】The example of the Soil Association taken by the writer is to show ________.

A．every school must have one no-meat day

B．no-meat day is becoming a tradition in all schools

C．students should be required to cat meat in the right amounts to keep healthy

D．people try to protect the environment by having one no-meat day in schools

【2】The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refers to _________.

A．eating much meat

B．farming lots of animals

C．having one no-meat day

D．eating more plant-based foods

【3】Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in “_______” in the passage?

A．it should be up to the students

B．schools shouldn’t have one no-meat day

C．it’s necessary to change students’ eating habits

D．students should eat a little bit of meat every day

【4】What does the writer mean by the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?

A．Changing people’s minds is really a difficult task.

B．It’s not polite to make people change their eating habits.

C．Habits changing cannot always lead to minds changing.

D．It’s more important to change eating habits than to change their minds.

25、   There was once a little boy with a bad temper (脾气). He often had fights with his friends. One day, his father gave him a bag of nails (钉子) and told him to hammer (敲) a nail into the fence every time he lost his temper. The boy listened to his father and did what his father told him to do.

The first day, the boy drove 17 nails into the fence. Then the number of nails became less and less in the following days. The boy found that it was easier to keep his temper than to drive the nails into the fence. Finally, the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and his father asked him to pull out one nail each time he was able to keep his temper.

The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, “You have done well, son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same as it was before. When you say some words in anger, your bad temper will leave a scar just like the hole. Even if you say you’re sorry, the wound is still there. If you hurt a person with words, the wound is as bad as a physical one. Friends are rare jewels (稀有珍宝). They make you smile and feel happy. So never hurt your friends.”

Since then the boy had never fought with his friends. He learned how to get on with others and he never lost his temper again.

【1】What did the father ask the little boy to do each time he lost his temper?

A.To have fights with his friends. B.To hammer a nail into the fence.

C.To listen to light music. D.To eat much chocolate.

【2】What did the father ask him to do each time he was able to keep his temper?

A.Pull out one nail. B.Drive one nail into the fence.

C.Lose his temper. D.Tell his father about it.

【3】What does the story tell us?

A.We need to buy a bag of nails. B.Friends are not important at all.

C.Lose your temper when you are angry. D.We should keep our temper and get on well with others.

26、 Trees are greatly useful to man in three very important ways.

The first important way is that they provide man with food, wood and other products. Trees provide not only man with food, but also many animals with food. Without trees many animals could not live on the earth. It's not easy for man to live on the earth, either.

The second important way is that trees give us shade（阴凉处）. On a hot summer day, people are looking forward to having a rest under the shade of a tree after they have walked a long way. You can imagine how important the shade of a tree is to man and to animals.

The third important way is that trees help to prevent drought（旱灾） and floods（水灾）. However, in many parts of the world, man has not realized the third important way. They cut trees down in large numbers. There will be fewer trees in the future.

People should protect trees, or they will find that they have lost the best friends they had in the end.

27、   At night,you are just lying there, but the body is busy.

9:00 pm Get Comfortable

It usually takes about 15 or 20 minutes to fall asleep, with the most comfortable position. Some people sleep on their backs and some on their stomachs. Most people curl up in a "fetal position" like a baby in the womb(子宫). Other people like strange positions like sleeping on elbows(肘部) and knees.

9:20 pm  I am Falling Asleep

You're about to sleep when suddenly you feel like falling. You even dream you are falling off a cliff. Your body jerks(抽搐). What's happening? Well, you are falling-asleep. Your body relaxes, but your brain is still active and when your muscles become less tense, your brain senses that you are in danger of falling. To save you, your brain sends a signal.

10:00 pm  Did You Hear That?

Soon a loud sound breaks the peace. What? You are snoring. When this happens, you breathe through your mouth, and as you take in air, it makes the soft tissue(组织) at the back of your throat vibrate(振动). The bad news is that you may snore more as you get older, especially if you are a boy. The good news is that snoring is not usually a serious problem, unless of course, you wake up your little brother or sister.

11:00 pm  Better Lock the Doors

Some sleepers get really busy during the first few hours of the night. Sleep walking, sleep talking and even bed wetting can be caused by the disagreement between your brain and your body. Sleepwalkers keep their eyes open and seems to see where they are going, but they are sound asleep. This behavior is a common among children, whose brains and bodies are still learning to work together.

4:00 am Dare to Dream

Nightmares(噩梦) or sweet dreams usually occur in the last hours of sleep. If you awaken in the middle of a dream, you might find it difficult to move for a moment or two. Certain parts of your brain have shut down, preventing messages from going to the muscles, temporarily(暂时地) disabling the body.

7:00 am But My Arm Is Still Asleep

Time to wake up, as you begin to move, a strange feeling floods down from your shoulder. Oh no, pins and needles! When pressure on your arm keeps the nerves（神经）from sending any messages to the brain, your arm loses all feelings. Don't worry if you wake up and your arm is still asleep. It'll be wide awake soon.

C. D.

【2】When do you have a feeling of falling?

A.Luckily, girls will snore less as they get older.

B.Snoring is a serious problem so we should avoid it.

C.When you snore, you won’t use your nose to take in air.

D.It is because the soft tissue of the throat vibrates itself.

【4】According to this passage, it’s common that .

A.children sometimes are sleepwalkers B.dreams happen in the first hours of sleep

C.it often takes about an hour to fall asleep D.your arm wakes up together with your body
