21、Are you surprised to see one or two twins in your class? What about 28 sets of them?

Andover High School in Minnesota, USA, has applied for (申请) the Guinness Book of World Records (吉尼斯世界纪录大全), because it has 28 sets of twins among its students.

“Having 28 sets of twins at any school is really uncommon,” said Dr. Nancy Segal, a twins researcher (研究者) at the University of Minnesota. “There is no good explanation (解释)…. Maybe their parents eat well.”

Peyton Zapzalka, one of the twin sisters, said the twin students had their own way of life. “We think nothing of finishing each other’s words,” she said.

Brent and Nathan Strong are another pair of twins. The brothers have already won something. They were given two tickets by a school to a twins game this year. Brent and Nathan will go to university on baseball scholarship (奖金)。

“Brent and Nathan’s Mom is our little sister’s fifth-grade teacher,” said Peyton Zapzalka. “We’re all connected (联系), one way or another.”

One example: the Zapzalkas were born on July 22, 1994—the same day their twin classmates Matt and Mike Schultz were born—in the same hospital.

22、“USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?”

We often hear such discussions. As important, Without, thousands, hot, nearer, why, much, away, Nothing, yearChina opens its door, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students. They would like to know the world well.

It’s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.

But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture.

Students must also learn to live without parents’ care and deal with all kinds of things they haven’t had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.

Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden（负担）to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?

We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China.

Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused.

He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.

23、   “Make-A-Wish” is one of the world’s most well-known charities(慈善机构). It makes wishes come true for children who have serious illnesses. It gives them hope and joy and helps them forget about their health problems and have fun.

It all started in 1980 in Phoenix, Arizona. Christopher was a 7-year-old boy who was very sick. He always dreamed of becoming a police officer.

There are four kinds of wishes children usually have:

I wish to be. Some children wish to become actors, singers or police officers.

I wish to have. They often want to have a computer, a game, a bike or many other things.

24、   One morning, I was driving my father-in-law to the airport when a plane flew silently over the road like a big bird, about to touch down at the airport.

“It’s magic,” my father-in-law said. I looked at him, without knowing what was happening.

He was a doctor who gave speeches at colleges and had visited more than 100 countries. He understood better than I why a plane can fly in the sky. It, really, wasn’t magic. But now, I realize he was at least right in some way.

Though flying might not be magic, it’s certainly magical. What it brings to our real lives is something found in our dreams.

But too often, we, especially I forget. I read a sentence a few months ago. It said, “You know you’re growing-up when you no longer want a window seat.”

Too often in recent years, I’ve asked for a seat near the exit row, forgetting the wonders of traveling fast. But sometimes, when the Wi-Fi’s not working or my computer has no power, I remember to look.

I think of one time when I was leaving on a family vacation. Moments after take-off, I started working. But a passenger behind me wouldn’t stop talking. “The clouds!” he kept saying, “Look at the clouds!”

I turned around, and saw two men, one who appeared to be in his seventies and the other much younger. The chat continued for 20 minutes until, not patiently, I raised my eyes from my computer screen and looked out of the window.

The clouds!

He was right. We were floating through big soft balls of cotton, each in different shapes. They seemed easy enough to touch. The afternoon sun provided all kinds of colors, all against a blue sky. I put away my computer and appreciated(欣赏)them for the rest of the flight.

I don’t remember the work I felt like I had to complete that afternoon. I’ve never forgotten those clouds.

A. Where people grow up, their minds slow down.

B. When people grow up, they do not like changes.

C. Grown-ups often care too much about day-to-day work.

D. Grown-ups care little about the speed of travelling by plane .

【3】How did the writer feel first when he listened to the chat for 20 minutes?

A. Unhappy. B. Excited. C. Interested. D. Nervous.

【4】Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage?

A. Is it a wonder? B. Is it magic?

C. What soft clouds! D. What a strange flight!

25、I crossed the street to avoid 【1】 (meet) him, but he saw me and came running 【2】 me. It was no use pretending that I had not seen him, so I waved to him. I never enjoy meeting Nigel Dykes. He  【3】has anything to do. No matter 【4】 busy you are, he always insists on coming  with you. I had to think of a way【5】 preventing him from following me around all morning.
