24、

It was a cold November morning several years ago. My alarm clock had just gone off, but I was having trouble getting out of bed. My dad had died a few weeks before. I felt weighed down by sadness and depression.

Tough and strong, my dad had worked so hard all of his life to support us. He had a temper and would sometimes shout at my brothers and me, but I always knew that he loved me. Still, he had been raised in a traditional way and raised us that way too. I couldn’t remember, for example, ever being hugged(拥抱) by him.

But at last, my mom and grandma passed away. My dad moved into grandma’s home right up the road from where I lived. I was so happy to have him close by. I would often visit him and just talk with him about life. But we still seldom touched and never hugged. Finally his own health began to quickly fail and in a few months he left us. It was a cold morning when we had his service, but I was too cold and numb (麻木的) inside myself to feel it. I couldn’t remember when we’d had our last hug.

I sighed (叹气) and got out of my bed. I turned on the lights and walked into the hallway. I saw my son JJ walking down the hall to meet me. Suddenly, he opened his arms and gave me a heart-felt hug. And just as he did, I heard my dad’s voice deep inside of me say, “Joey, this hug is from me!” I cried and smiled at the same time. In that moment, in the place where heart, mind, and spirit all met, I felt loved. I felt loved by my dad. I felt loved by life.

25、If you are looking for a simple place to stay for a few nights, a capsule (胶囊) hotel might be a good choice. Providing small rooms and just a few basic services, these hotels can help people save lots of money.

What do the rooms in capsule hotels look like? The rooms are usually the size of a bed. They are very small, but they have enough space for you to sit up on the bed. Rooms in capsule hotels are usually side by side and on top of one another. So, if you are staying on the top level, you have to use a ladder to climb into your room. There are also curtains (帘布) for you when you’re sleeping. Although there’s little you can do inside your room apart from (除了……还) sleeping, capsule hotels usually provide other services. Shared bathrooms and dining areas are available (可提供的) for you to use.

The first capsule hotel appeared in Osaka, Japan in 1979. Many Japanese loved the idea, so more capsule hotels opened all over the country. From there, capsule hotels spread to several other countries such as India and Iceland. China has also seen a rise in the number of such hotels in recent years.

26、With the development of science and industry, great changes have taken place in China, especially transportation. Fewer people are expected to fly between the two cities—Beijing and Shanghai. With flights reducing, Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway has become very popular. But the cars on the high-speed railway will cause more environmental problems and increase carbon emission. Satellite cities of Beijing and Shanghai are growing and developing rapidly. So people working in the two big cities may choose to buy houses in a place like Langfang, Hebei Province, because it is less crowded and polluted, and houses there are a lot bigger and much cheaper. Besides, people living in such a city like Langfang would use more cars. The increasing cars increase carbon emission and the gases do harm to environment.

High-speed railway will become more and more all over China in the coming years. By 2019 the length of high-speed railway is over 35,000 km. Since high-speed railway increases pollution, the government should take measures to deal with the problem.

27、A group of frogs (青蛙) were travelling through the bush when two of them fell into a deep hole. The other frogs tried to help them. When they saw how deep the hole was, they told the two frogs that they could not be saved and that they were almost dead. The two frogs didn’t listen to their words and tried their best to jump out of the hole. But the other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs listened to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.

The other frog, however, continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs shouted at him to give up and wait for death. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs asked, “Didn’t you hear us?” The frog explained that he had poor hearing. He thought they were encouraging him the whole time.

Words have the power of life and death. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through their difficulties. A destructive (破坏性的) word to someone who is down can befatal. So always be careful of what you say.

28、   You're standing with your classmates. Everyone is talking except you.

Perhaps you're afraid they will laugh at when you say. Maybe you just aren't brave enough to speak.

Shyness means you feel frightened when you’re the center of attention. It is like a snake that crawls (爬进) into our mouth and stops us from s 【1】. In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes, even the great people in history. When Thomas Edison was young, he loved Shakespeare very much. He wanted to act in his play. But he was too shy. He didn’t know w【2】 to do when there were people around. Later, he had to give up. But shyness didn’t stop him from being a great inventor.

Some experts say shy people are c 【3】 because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people. Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy, It isn’t a very big problem. But some become so shy that they can’t do the things they wanted to do. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person. Here are some good ways to make you b【4】.

Tell people you are shy. This can make others u 【5】you better and help you easier in talks.

Try to smile more. People think you are friendly and easy to talk to when you smile.

Learn to be a good talker. Begin your talk with saying s【6】nice about people around you. It’s very helpful for keeping your talk.

Put your attention somewhere else. Think more about ways to enjoy the party or the game. Don’t waste time w 【7】about your looks or whether people like you or not.

If you do above for a while, the 'shyness' snake will soon begin to leave you alone. It'll look for another mouth to crawl into.
