21、There once lived a rich businessman who had a lazy son. The businessman wanted his son to realize the value of labor.

One day, he told his son, “Today, I want you to earn something. If you fail, you won’t have your meal tonight.”

The boy didn’t want to find a job, so he asked his mother for help. She gave him a gold coin. In the evening, when the father asked his son what he had earned, the son showed him the gold coin. The father then asked him to throw it into the well (水井). The son did as he was told.

The father guessed that the gold was from the boy’s mother. The next day, he sent his wife to her parents’ home and asked his son to earn something. Since no one helped him, the son had to go to the market to look for a job. A shopkeeper told him that he would pay him a coin if he carried heavy tools for him. The son accepted. As he returned home and gave the coin to his father, he was asked to throw it into the well. The boy cried, “Dad! My body is aching. I’m tired. How are you asking me to throw my hard-earned coin into a well?”

The businessman smiled. He told his son that one feels pain only when the fruits of labor are wasted. The son realized the value of hard work. He promised not to be lazy any more.

22、With online booksellers and e-readers becoming popular, traditional booksellers seem to be dying out. But is it true? Many bookstores are now trying everything to make more readers enjoy staying there to read or choose books they like. And some of them have done a great job.

Usually, online stores have larger number of books than traditional bookstores. Some traditional ones are clever enough to sell just one kind of book and win the hearts of a specific group of people. Trends Lounge in Beijing is such a place for art lovers. The bookstore has walls of books which are about arts and artists. You may meet famous artists there or maybe even a happy couple that choose to get married in the bookstore.

Some other bookstores are trying to make themselves more than just a place that sells books. They want to be somewhere for people to socialize. The Eslite Bookstore in Taipei has spaces including clothes stores, cafes and tea houses. It also holds lots of activities on reading, such as talks with famous writers. All these make the bookstore a cultural landmark in Taipei. Luckily for book lovers on the Chinese mainland, Eslite opened a store in Suzhou in 2015. Some bookstores even go one step further. They themselves have become symbols of the city culture by showing the local culture of the city where they are. For example, Hong Kong has many second-floor bookstores because street-level stores are paid much more. These bookstores are small, but their books a are carefully chosen by the owners, just like the city of Hong Kong.

It’s true that a great bookstore can make people enjoy reading in many ways. After all, reading online can’t bring you the touch of paper, the smell of print, and the strong feeling that you are going on a wonderful journey with each new book in a bookstore.

Paper books give people a very different reading experience than e-books. Harvard did a research last year that found out reading from an e-book at night makes a big difference to your ability to sleep and among other things. When reading a book, the paper kind, one can memorize and understand better than reading off an e-reader. So come to enjoy the beauty of real books in the bookstore!

23、判断正误正确涂A，错误涂B

The Magical Brush (《神笔马良》) is a Chinese cartoon movie directed by Frankie Chung. In fact, it is not the only movie about Ma Liang. In 1954 the Shanghai Animation Film Studio produced the movie called Ma Liang and His Magic Brush, and in 1955 the studio produced another movie called Magic Brush.

The story is a folklore story. In a village, there lived a boy called Ma Liang. His family was so poor that he could not go to school. However, he loved painting. One day, he got a brush. The brush had magical power—if he drew something with it, the picture would become a real one. This information reached a local office (官员). He put Ma Liang into prison (监狱) and confiscated his brush. The officer asked Ma Liang to draw a golden mountain. Ma Liang agreed, but he also drew a big sea around the golden mountain. After the officer sailed across the sea, Ma Liang waved his brush and the officer fell into the sea.

25、People burn coal, gas and oil to get energy. But there are problems with these fuels (燃料). Firstly, these fuels c【1】 pollution. Pollution makes the air and water unsafe for p【2】. Secondly, these fuels will not last forever. One day, we will r【3】 out of these fuels. Scientists are looking for new k【4】 of energy. One is heat from the Earth. We know that the centre of the Earth is very hot. We cannot r【5】 the centre of the Earth, but in some places the heat from the Earth’s centre comes to the surface of the Earth. Perhaps you k【6】 about some of these places. One place is volcanoes (火山). It is very d【7】 to go near an active volcano, so we cannot use the energy from this. A【8】 kind of heat from the Earth is hot springs (温泉). In these places, hot water comes to the surface of the Earth. If this water is near a town, the hot water can be sent in pipes directly to people’s houses to heat them. In Iceland, this is a common w【9】 to heat houses. In Australia, scientists are looking for ways to make energy using hot rocks under the surface of the Earth. They want to pump water onto the hot rocks.
