21、With his trimmed beard, red scarf and bronze-colored waistcoat, Kazem Mabhutian, serves a steady stream of customers in the smallest and oldest teahouse—1.5-square-meter, located in a narrow back street of the Grand Bazaar. Arranged around him are cups and teapots, boxes of tea and a water heater. There is an old radio, a paraffin(煤油)lamp. On the wall, a certificate assures that the place is part of the intangible heritage of the national culture.
In between pouring glasses of steaming tea for his customers, Mabhutian tells the century-old story of the fabled Haj All Tea House with pride.
His father Haj Ali Mabhutian was born in Hamedan in western Iran. He came to Tehran at the age of 15 to earn a living. He bought this shop from Haj Hassan who had opened it in 1918. Until 2007, he ran this house, known as the smallest in the world. Then he broke his leg and never returned to work. He died in 2018 at the age of 92.
Aside from the traditional Iranian black tea, Mabhutian prepares some other brews every day from 7: 30 am. But his favorite is his signature "tea of kindness", a mixture of mint, lemon and saffron which gives it a yellow color.
Business is usually steady: Experts say that Iranians consume an average of nine small glasses of tea a day, or 100,000 tons nationwide every year.
Mabhutian then left his advertising agency job and took over the business. “I don’t regret it at all," he said. ”Advertising was a business, but this is a question of love. I chose this job with my heart, not for the money.
The 63-year-old man is getting on in years, and is still single, so does he worry about what will become of his beloved shop in future?
“Not at all,” he said. “A place like this one does not die.”
【1】What is Kazem’s teahouse like?
A.Tiny and conventional.
B.Crowded and modern.
C.Newly-opened and popular.
D.Well-decorated and non-profitable.
【2】What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?
A.Remember the former owner of the teahouse.
B.Provide background information about the teahouse.
C.Express the sorrow over the loss of his father.
D.Reason why the teahouse is the smallest in the world.
【3】What does the underlined word “brews" in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Tea drinks.
B.Little snacks.
C.Dishes.
D.Fruits.
【4】What can we know about Kazem?
A.He created the teahouse with his father.
B.He has been helping manage the teahouse.
C.He is worried about the customer source.
D.He is confident about the future of his teahouse.
22、In 1990,22-year-old Christopher McCandless gave up his career plans,left behind everyone he knew,donated all his savings to charity,and went off on an adventure,hiking his way through America to Alaska.
Of course,this is an unusual story most college graduates would not do so. However,studies show that in teenage years, people are more likely to try out new experiences.For example,instead of working his way up the same organization like his grandfather did,a 15-year-old may dream about becoming a traveller一only to find in his early 20s that this attraction of new places is fading and change is less attractive.
The reason why people become less keen to change as they get older may be that people
generally have similar life patterns and demands.Most people aim to find a job and a partner. As they get older,they may have young children and elderly family members to look after. These responsibilities cannot be achieved without some degree of steadiness,which means that new experiences and ideas may not have a place in the person’s life.New experiences may bring excitement as well as insecurity,and so most people prefer to stay with the familiar.
However,not every individual is the same. A child may want to play a different game every day and get fed up if nothing changes at the kindergarten.Another may play with the same children and toys on every visit. Young children who avoid new experiences will grow up to be more traditional than others. Psychologist argue that those who have more open personalities as children are more open than others might be when they are older and that young men have a greater interest in novelty than women,although as they age,this desire for new experiences fades more quickly than it does in women.
【1】 The first paragraph serves as a(n) .
A. introduction B.explanation
C. comment D. background
【2】What does the author think is the key factor that prevents people trying out new experiences?
A. Age B. Partner
C. Responsibility D. Education
【3】The underlined phrase“interest in novelty”most probably means .
A. independence B. curiosity
C. security D.excitement
【4】According to the passage, we can infer that_______.
A. a child who likes different games may not like to change after growing up
B. a teenager is not interested in a new start before graduation
C. women are more likely to try new things than men of the same age
D. as one gets older, he prefers the old patterns of life
23、Things to Do with Kids in San Francisco
Exploratorium
The Exploratorium is a 21st-century learning lab. It takes the best part of a hands-on children’s museum and mixes it with real science, exploration, and adventure. It is a fun and interesting place or children and adults alike. I would not recommend the Exploratorium for children under age 5.
Palace of Fine Arts
The Palace of Fine Arts is a great place to visit when the weather is nice. The gardens are beautiful and it’s fun to walk around and explore. A lot of special events seem to be held here including weddings. The kids really enjoy walking around and taking pictures.
San Francisco Cable Cars
No trip to San Francisco would be complete without a ride on a cable car. The best line to pick up is the Hyde line because it is the longest. The best time to go is first thing in the morning because the lines can be long. Another tip is to pick it up mid-line. Or ride another two lines where they won’t be as crowded.
Boudin Museum Bakery Tour
The Boudin Museum Bakery Tour cannot be missed. You may be blown away by the enthusiasm and knowledge of your tour guide, the quality of the museum, hands-on and photography friendly exhibits, and the rich San Francisco history that is a part of Boudin Bakery. Don’t miss taking the test to find out what kind of bread you are. It sounds silly but trust me, you’ll want to take the quick quiz.
【1】Which of the following can give kids hands-on science experience?
A.Palace of Fine Arts.
B.Exploratorium.
