24、Henry was going through a very hard time. His wife passed away one month ago. He thought his life became meaningless. Henry sat in his house sadly and did nothing.

One day, Henry’s neighbor, Lisa, saw him from her yard. She hadn’t seen him outside for several days! She wanted to help Henry. Then she had an idea.

Lisa said to Henry, “Hello, Henry! Just look at this fence (篱笆) between our houses. It is falling apart. You are a strong man. Can you help fix this fence?”

After hearing Lisa’s words, Henry was a little angry. He didn’t want to help her. He thought he was the one who needed help. He thought Lisa was kind of rude. However, he agreed to help Lisa because Lisa was too old to fix the fence herself.

Henry spent a few days fixing the fence. When he finished, Lisa thanked him. Henry gave her a smile. It was his first time to smile after his wife passed away.

“What a wonderful job! Could you please paint it for me?” Lisa said to him. Henry thought for a while and agreed. Then he began to paint the fence in the hot sun. As his neighbors passed by and saw Henry, they all praised Henry for what he was doing. Henry felt happy and proud. He felt his life was not meaningless any more.

Henry finally understood Lisa’s purpose. She wanted Henry to know that staying busy could help him forget his sorrow (悲痛) . Henry thanked Lisa a lot.

25、Every year on my birthday since I was 11, a white gardenia(栀子花)was sent to my house. No card ever came with it. Calls to the flower shop were not helpful at all. After some time I stopped trying to find out the sender’s name and was just pleased with the beautiful white flower, in soft pink paper.

I couldn’t stop imagining(想像)who the giver might be, though. Some of my happiest moments were spent day dreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these daydreams. She, d ask me if I had been especially kind to someone. Perhaps it was one of my classmates. Perhaps it was the old man. He lived across from the street. I’d sent him his mail during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy that I had met.

A month before my high school graduation(毕业), my father died. I was so sad that I became uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didn’t care whether I had a new dress or not. My mother, in her won sadness, however, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved. In fact, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia: lovely, strong and perfect, with perhaps a bit of mystery(神秘).

26、“Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person’s life for the better, which makes everyone a better person,” Mason, a volunteer said.

National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’s expectations. Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.

The following tips can help if you have some of these worries:

★Start out slowly, don’t add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone’s life.

★Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.

★Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked.

★Work with a veteran(经验丰富的) volunteer. He volunteered a lot; he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization’s expectations.

★Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.

★Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If the experience doesn’t work, don’t give up and you’ll surely find the right opportunity.

Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience, “﹍little things can change a person’s life.”

【1】Volunteering can help _____.

A. make a decision B. see the world clearly

【3】Which of the following can help people take the first step?

27、Rock and roll music developed in the United States in the early nineteen-fifties. It was based on the music called rhythm and blues that was performed by African American musicians.

Early rock and roll singers developed their own kinds of music. Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, the Beach Boys, and Bob Dylan were the most popular rock and roll musicians in the early 1960’s. All were American. Then, in 1964, a new rock and roll group from England invaded America: the Beatles.

Some people say the Beatles’ music shook America like an earthquake. The Beatles changed rock and roll forever. Their early songs were influenced by American rock and roll musicians, including Chuck Berry. But the Beatles looked different and sounded different from any musical group before them.

The Beatles released their first album in the United States in 1964, when all of the top five records in America were by the Beatles. In 1967, they released an album called “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.” It was one of the first “concept” albums. That is, all the songs were linked by a common story or idea.

The popularity of the Beatles led the way for more rock and roll bands from England to become popular in America. The Rolling Stones was the most important of these bands. The Rolling Stones is one of the few groups from the 1960’s that is still performing and recording today. In 1965, the group recorded one of its most famous songs, “Satisfaction”.

The musical instrument most linked to rock and roll is the guitar. Experts say Jimi Hendrix was one of the most influential guitar players in rock and roll during the late 1960’s. His “Purple Haze” was liked by many people.

By the 1970’s, rock and roll music became known as rock music. It expanded into many new forms. For example, there was country rock, hard rock, acid rock, and heavy metal rock. Punk rock, jazz rock, and glitter rock.

In the middle 1970’s, experts say rock music regained some of the energy of early rock and roll. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band became popular with their album “Born to Run”. Springsteen’s music was like the lively rock and roll music of the early nineteen-sixties. Many of his songs were about social issues. He sang about the effects of unemployment and the war in Vietnam.

【1】The main topic of this passage is _______.

A．the history of American music

B．the famous rock and roll groups

C．the new forms of rock and roll music

D．the development of rock and roll music

【2】Which of the following matches is NOT true?

A．the Beatles — Chuck Berry

B．the Rolling Stones — Satisfaction

C．Jimi Hendrix — Purple Haze

D．Bruce Springsteen — Born to Run

【3】Whose songs were mainly about social problems like unemployment and war?

A．Elvis Presley’s.  B．Bob Dylan’s.

C．Jimi Hendrix’s.   D．Springsteen’s.

【4】From the passage, we can know that _______.

A．one of the Rolling Stones’ albums was called “concept”

B．rock and roll music had many different forms at the beginning

C．rock and roll music probably came from African American music

D．the Beatles and the Rolling Stones became popular at the same time

28、Today, an increasing number of people are always looking at their mobile phones with their heads down. These people are 【1】(叫做)the “Heads-down Tribe”. Heads-down tribe members now can be seen everywhere. 

There are more and more traffic accidents because lots of drivers use mobile phones while driving. In order to make drivers pay more a【2】 to driving, some new traffic rules have been made. 

As we can see above, using mobile phones may 【3】(引起)traffic accidents. Also, more and more interesting and strange facts happen to the “Heads-down Tribe”. A man in America kept【4】 (使用)his mobile phone on his way home. As a r【5】 , he knocked into a big lost bear. When he lifted 【6】 (他的) eyes from the phone, he was so afraid that he turned around and ran away as 【7】 (快速地)as possible. Another fact is that we can often see people in the restaurant eating face to face but looking at their own mobile phones. They don’t talk to the ones who sit opposite to them during the meal. Some of them even have【8】(乐趣) communicating with others on the phone. 

Mobile phones are helpful and necessary tools for modern life. Let’s be “healthy” users and try to be the “Heads-up Tribe”.
