22、Carnival (狂欢节) is one of the most important national holidays in Brazil. It is not held to celebrate a big historical event, but it is a time of friendship and freedom (自由). Besides this, it’s also a time when Brazilians don’t have to work. People can choose to hold parties or just have a good rest instead. Most people hold parties, day after day, night after night. There is a forty-day period called Lent (大斋期) before Easter. During that period, Christians (基督教徒) can’t eat meat or take part in any activities.

Carnival is held during the four days before the start of Lent. People put on their holiday clothes and go out to enjoy themselves. Also, some dance schools often hold activities to show their dances. Many people enjoy this festival. After Carnival, everything returns to the normal state, but this custom isn’t followed by some people. They always continue their parties. Like other parties, these people sing, dance and have fun. However, some people are not happy with this behavior and they feel it leaves a bad image of the holiday. I like Carnival. It’s a time for people from all over the world to get together and understand each other better. It’s a wonderful holiday and I hope more people will respect it.

23、   I know my brother better than anyone else in the world. Since he was born, I’ve been part of his life. I had spent seven happy years in the world with love. But when Rohan was born, life changed. All of a sudden, I had to share my toys and there were no more bedtime stories or my own choice of food.

Finally, I hated this small boy. He had no idea what had made me so unhappy. Maybe he found me strange, the only person in this house who did not like him. Whatever the reason was, he loved following me around. However, I seldom talked to him and always asked him to leave me alone.

Then all that changed. I can’t remember everything of that day six years ago, but I remember that I was feeling very angry. Then I found myself in my brother’s room. I couldn’t help reaching my hand through the bars(栏杆) of his bed. At once, he reached his small hand and softly touched mine. And that was all I needed. Through all the unhappiness of the day, that one moment changed everything. How could I hate someone who made me feel so important? For the first time, I saw my brother through the eyes of a sister. Suddenly I realized love from my family was always with me.

Now, I can’t imagine(想象) life without my brother. It is unbelievable(难以置信的) how much I have learned about life from him. Rohan has taught me that one should not care only for himself.

24、   In some parts of the world there are large deserts. There are no trees and no water there. Travelers must take food and water with them. The only animal who can walk through the desert is the camel. It can go without food or water for a long time, and it can carry heavy things. People call the camel “the ship of the desert”. The camel is very big. It has one or two humps（驼峰）on its back, short ears and a long neck. The camel’s humps hold fat, and its stomach holds water in twelve deep pockets. Each pocket has a mouth which closes, and the food does not mix with the water. When the camel wants some water, it can get it out of the pockets. The camel’s food is grass and leaves of trees.

根据短文内容，判断正（T）误（F）.
