21、Early on the morning of December 26th, my friend Eric and I went down to the beach in Sri Lanka for the first time. We noticed that the sea had gone a long way out but this did not mean anything to us. We had been to Mombassa several times and at times the sea had gone right out to the reef (樵). We also knew that it was a full moon and thought it may influence (影响) the sea. We didn’t realize how many more Sri Lankan families would be killed because it was a holiday and they were on the beach.

I left Eric on the beach and went for a walk down by the sea. I must have gone about a quarter of a mile when I met a fisherman. He warned me that there was something wrong with the sea, I told him that I knew the waves were strong and I didn’t want to go swimming. He said, “No, madam, no — there is something wrong with the sea.” He walked with me until we reached his village. As we reached it, a huge surge (波涛汹涌) of water almost knocked me over. He held me fast with one arm and held on to a tree with the other. The villagers were all crying loudly as furniture and other things floated (漂浮) from their houses. They all started running back across the railway lines directly behind.

The fisherman took me back to the railway lines and we sturmbled (蹒跚而行) along there until we came up behind Eric. I shouted that there was something wrong but Eric just did not believe me and thought I was out of my mind.

At that point, from my higher point I could see the sea rising in its bed. It just continued to rise and came towards us. Eric moved quickly with great difficulty and we escaped the third and final wave. We heard later that not one tourist at Yale Safari lodge (小屋) remained alive to tell the story.

Although we were anxious (焦虑的) to make our families know that we were OK, leaving Sri Lanka was one of the hardest things we had ever done.

【1】The writer and his friend Eric went to Sri Lanka ________.

A．in the evening

B．in December

C．in the sea

D．in September

【2】________ may influence the sea.

A．The sun

B．Sri Lanka

C．A full moon

D．the water

【3】________ warned her that there was something wrong with the sea.

A．Eric

B．Some kind people

C．A fisherman

D．His friend

【4】The villagers were all crying loudly because they were ________.

A．cold

B．happy

C．excited

D．afraid

【5】The underlined phrase “out of my mind” means ________.

A．successful

B．crazy

C．clever

D．tired

【6】It was ________ for Eric to move quickly when the sea rose in its bed.

A．interesting

B．easy

C．quit good

D．difficult

22、American country music is also known as (被视为) country Western music. It has a very long history. It comes from the folk songs of immigrants(移民) from Britain.

Country music uses simple music and words to express everyday feelings such as loneliness, love, and sadness. That is to say, country music describes life. It talks about friends and  enemies, trucks and roads, farms and crops…People in many parts of the world like country music, because everyone can understand what the music is about.

Country Western music became popular first among cowboys(牛仔) in the American West countryside. Cowboys had to take care of cows day and night. When they were alone with the cows, they often sang beautiful and peaceful songs to calm__the__animals and to overcome their own fear. They were not well­educated(接受良好教育的), so they sang about their daily life in very simple words. They played the guitar, the violin, and other instruments. In the south of America,  many people added instruments from their homes, like bottles and spoons. When cowboys visited their friends and families on holidays like Thanksgiving, they usually sang and played country Western music.

In recent years, many musicians have made country Western music a little different from that in the past.These changes make the songs sound even better.Today singers such as Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett，Eddie Rabbitt, LeAnn Rimes, Randy Travis and a group called Alabama are singing and playing in different styles.They have brought country Western music more and more fans from all over the world.

24、   Hi, I’m Tom. When I was about 12 years old, a girl in my class liked to point out my problems. I was too thin；I wasn’t a good student；I talked too much；I was too proud and so on. At last, I became very angry and ran to my father.

He listened to me quietly. Then he asked, “Are these things true or not? Do you know what you are really like? Go and make a list of what she said and find the things that are true.”

I did as he told me. To my great surprise,I found that about half of the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin). But there were things I could and wanted to change. For the first time，I got a clear picture of myself.

I brought the list back to Dad. He didn’t take it. “That’s just for you, ” he said. “You know the truth about yourself better than anyone else. When people say something that is true about you，you should find it helpful.”

Our world is full of people who think they know your problems. Don’t be angry and feel hurt. Listen to them.
