21、Although many years have passed, I still remember the last year of my junior school. I had to prepare for the entrance test, which made me stressed（有压力的）. I cried several nights.

When we are feeling very stressed, many of us may feel like crying. Shedding tears is a good way to deal with our “dark” emotions（情绪）. When we cry, we are letting go of our stress, I certainly felt better after I had cried. After I had calmed myself down, I reached out to some friends and teachers who encouraged me. I managed to get an offer from a qualified senior school.

With increased competition, it isn’t surprising that many students today are feeling stressed out. Many of us think of our “dark” emotions to be our enemies（敌人）. It appears silly for us to be so easily beaten by them. That’s why we might feel too shy to cry. When we are feeling sad, we may also have difficulty asking for help or talking to others.

“Dark” emotions are not in themselves a bad thing. Just like happiness, they are common. But you should certainly find ways to manage them. Try to take part in social events. Eat healthy, balanced meals. Find people who can support you. Exercise regularly. These things can all help. The most important thing, though, is to accept your feelings. They are nothing to be ashamed of.

【1】Why did the writer cry when preparing the entrance test?

A．The time passed quickly.

B．He felt worried.

C．He missed his junior school.

D．He got little help.

【2】How did the writer let go of stress?

A．By crying all the time.

B．By reaching out to family.

C．By entering a qualified senior school.

D．By asking friends and teachers for help.

【3】Why are we too shy to cry when under stress?

A．We are not brave enough to ask for help.

B．We are not strong enough and look foolish.

C．We are not wise enough to hide our feelings.

D．We are not confident enough to talk to others.

【4】What does the writer think of “Dark” emotions?

A．Silly.

B．Useful.

C．Natural.

D．Unsatisfying.

【5】Why does the writer write this passage?

A．To offer us some ways to eat healthy.

B．To help us to stay away from dark emotions

C．To tell us to prepare for the entrance test well.

D．To encourage us to accept our feelings, no matter good or bad.

22、Mountains are usually not nice places for people to live in, mainly because the weather in high mountains is not as good as that in lower lands. Only a few people live in the mountains that are over 2,500 meters high. 【1】 If a mountain is higher than 8,000 meters, like Qomolangma, there is not enough air to support human life. 【2】 Besides, there is less ground to grow plants, and plant growing is not often successful because of the bad condition.

However, mountains are important to people. As we all know that most water in the rivers is from the snow and rain water of the mountains. More than half of the people in the world depend on mountains to get drinking water. Mountains are also rich in minerals (矿产). 【3】 More recently, a lot of national parks and ski fields are built in mountain areas. More people go to the mountains to spend their holidays during the hot weather, because it is cooler in the mountains.

【4】 The sport first became popular in England and soon all over the world. However, only a few people reached the tops of the highest mountains at that time. 【5】

Mountain climbing has become one of the most well-known sports around the world.

A．So mountain tourism is developing very fast.

B．The higher a mountain is, the less air there will be.

C．This is known as one of the most dangerous places.

D．So people in the mountains make a living with them.

E．Now more and more people try to climb the highest mountains.

F．Mountain climbing as a sport has a history of more than 150 years.

23、Dear Dad,

Today I was at the shopping center and I spent a lot of time reading the Father’s Day cards. But as I chose and read, and chose and read again, it seemed that not a single card said what I really wanted to say to you.

You’ll soon be 84 years old, Dad, you and I will have had 56 Father’s Days together. I didn’t think that you were too old. But the sad thing happened last week. I watched as you turned at the corner in your car. I didn’t realize at once that it was you because the man who was driving looked so elderly.

Fifty years ago this spring, we planted carrots together in a garden in Charles City, Iowa. This week, we’ll plant carrots together again, perhaps for the last time but I hope not. I don’t understand why planting carrots with you is so important to me. Well, I don’t quite know how to tell you this, Dad...I don’t like carrots...but I like planting them with you.

I guess what I am trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their dad today. Praising（赞美）a father on Father’s Day is about more than a dad who brings home money or shares a dinner. It’s more about a dad deeply loving children who know everything and won’t listen to anyone. It’s about sharing. It’s about loving someone more than words can say, and I wish that it would never end.

Yours,

Jenny
