1、Everyone can change the world

A friend wrote me a letter a few weeks ago. He felt hopeless at the time. He ended his letter with this question: “We can’t really change this crazy world we live in, can we?” 1. 他发现改变世界是如此难。But I replied to him and started my own letter with these words: “Yes, we most certainly can!”

I can still remember someone who changed my world. She was the music teacher at my elementary school. She was good at playing the guitar. I wanted to impress her2. 然而，我不知道如何演奏好任何乐器.

One day, she let me try playing her guitar. I did my best, but could only stumble along (断断续续地弹奏). 3.When I had done it, I put my head down, never feeling so embarrassed in my whole life. “I guess I am not very good,” I told her. She looked at me with her kind eyes, smiled at me and said, “We are all good at something. You just need to find out what you are good at. Then, you can share your goodness with the world.”

Those simple words changed me.4.They planted a seed (种子) in my heart that continues to grow to this day. They made me realize that I had something good inside of me. I just had to find it and share it.

Can you change the world? Yes, you can! You can change it through one choice, one person, and one kind act at a time.5. 你要做的所有事情就是分享你的擅长之处. Mother Teresa once said, “God doesn’t ask us to do great things, only small things with great love.” So make your love great!

24、   Many kids do homework such as doing the dishes, making the bed, and folding the clothes. In exchange they get some money or other computer time.

Paying kids for housework is one of the most popular topics, especially at a time when everyone is more careful about money. Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework.

But some people don't think kids should get rewards (报酬)for doing housework. Susie Walton, an expert, believe that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. “Running any kind of housework is a team effort,” Walton said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and families decide how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want.”

Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money. There are also apps(程序) that gives kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑现) either online or in the real world. “Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards,” says Chris Bergman. “And kids need rewards to help encourage them.”

【1】Which of the following housework is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1?

A.Washing the dishes. B.Cooking meals.

C.Folding the clothes. D.Making the bed.

【2】The underlined phrase “in return” in paragraph 3 has the same meaning as “________”.

A.as a reward B.for punishment C.on sale D.under control

【3】According to Chris Bergman, kids should be encouraged to ________.

A.do housework without rewards B.do more housework

C.stay away from housework D.do housework be getting rewards

【4】Which is the best title for the passage?

A.Kids Should Study as Well as Doing Housework

B.Let Children Do Some Housework

C.Should Kids Be Rewarded for Doing Housework

D.Doing Housework Is Good for Children's Study

26、Vicuna, a small town in the north of Chile, is a great place for watching stars all year round. Although it is near the sea, the cold, wet air from the coast does not bring clouds. Instead, dry winds from the desert keep the clouds away at night. In fact, the sky is so clear in Vicuna that it is possible to see many stars that can be seen only with advanced(先进的) instruments in other parts of the world.

In Vicuna, distant(遥远的) star systems such as Magellanic Clouds can be seen without the help of an instrument. That is why the town was chosen as the home of a number of sky observatories(天文台). One of them, the Mamalluca, is quite different from the typical observatories used by scientists. This observatory was built for tourists who like to look at the stars. During the year, Vicunas hotels accommodate thousands of tourists who come from all over the world to see the night sky as they have only seen it in books. The cloudless sky is clearly a moneymaker for the town, which plans to set up even more observatories. It was recently decided that building observatories would go on for another few years.

At one point, however, the town faced a serious problem. As the town grew, more streetlights were added, making it more and more difficult to see the stars at night. The town saved the night sky by building a new system of lights that lit up the streets without influencing the view of the sky.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A．Vicuna Has a Problem

B．The observatories in Vicuna

C．A Town to Watch the Stars

D．The new system of lights in Vicuna
