21、On my first job, I worked as a sports editor for a small newspaper. I never got a letter from my readers, so I was surprised that there was an envelope on my desk one morning. From the envelope, I could see it was from the most popular newspaper.

When I opened it, I found a note and it said, “You did a good job. Go on!”

The note was signed by Mr. John, a famous sport editor. As I was a green hand, his words made me excited. After that, I kept the note in my desk drawer. Whenever I doubted whether I had the ability to be a good editor, I would read John’s note and become confident again.

Later, when I made friends with Mr. John, the note writer, I learned that he often wrote notes to encourage young people in many fields. “When I make others feel happy,” he told me, “I feel happy, too.” However, why are there few note writers like John in our life? In my opinion, many people are afraid that they cannot be well understood. Also writing takes more time and it is better to pick up the phone. The problem with phone calls is that they cannot last a long time but a note is a good way of record and our words can be read more than once.

So, when you find some people around you need help, please write a note of encouragement to bring them more confidence. Maybe, you are not sure what will happen, but remember Mr. John’s words — making others feel happy makes you feel happy, too.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “a green hand” mean?

A．A small hand.

B．A new one in work.

C．A new growing hand.

D．A hand with the color of green.

【2】In the author’s opinion, what is the better way of record?

A．Writing a note.

B．Making a telephone call.

C．Recording it with a recorder.

D．Trying to remember it in mind.

【3】What can you learn from the passage?

A．We should never lose heart.

B．We should help others as we can.

C．We should change ourselves when life changes.

D．Young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard.

22、

Are You Distracted （注意力分散的） by Technology?

According to Daily Mail, people spend 8 hours and 41 minutes on electronic devices（电子设备）on average every day. There is no doubt that people are getting more dependent on technology as time goes by. The only question is: are you too distracted by it?

Well technology can be a distraction only when people fail to use it responsibly. When a responsible person uses cellphones, tablets（平板电脑）, laptops and other devices, technology has brought many positive effects to the daily life.

For starters, technology has greatly increased the efficiency of our daily life. We use computers to shop, code, buy tickets, and do many other things. We can check our emails from any place. It makes us keep in touch with family and friends without any trouble.

Technology also serves as a useful tool to get information. It can help us find out almost every piece of information we need. A survey by Pew Research Center showed that 62% of smartphone owners in the U. S. have used their devices to find information about health conditions; 57% relied on their phones to do online banking; and 30% of them have taken a class on a smartphone during 2019.

However, there are people who hold different opinions. They think using technology can be addictive. Some children keep playing computer games and don't know when to stop. Also, young people are turned into slaves of consumerism（消费主义的奴隶） because they are flooded with topics about fitness, fashion models, make-up, movie stars, etc. These topics can serve as a distraction from studying. But think about it, didn't children in the past have their own distraction?

Before the age of technology, the street was a distraction. Parents were worried about how long children spent playing outside. Young people always find their ways to get their minds off schoolwork. It's not the fault of modern technology.

In conclusion, we cannot even imagine living without our smartphones, tablets and laptops. We need technology to connect to the rest of the world and get useful information. Whether we allow ourselves to be controlled by technology or we stay strong to fight against the addiction to it — that's something we should all decide for ourselves.

【1】Why does the writer mention the average time people spend on electronic devices?

A.To lead in the topic. B.To stress its importance.

C.To criticize the behavior. D.To explore its influence.

【2】In paragraph 4, the writer uses a survey by Pew Research Center to show __________.

A.we can check our emails from any place in the world

B.technology serves as a useful tool to get information

C.people in the US are more likely to take online classes

D.smartphone owners spend too much time on their phones

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A.People are getting less dependent on technology as time goes by.

B.Technology has helped us keep in touch with others more easily.

C.Parents do not allow their children to play outside on the street.

D.Young people hate schoolwork because of modern technology.

【4】The writer probably agrees that __________.

A.technology always brings positive effects to our daily life

B.children nowadays have the same distraction as they did in the past

C.it is actually very easy to live without smartphones, tablets and laptops

D.we should be responsible for our behaviors when using technology

23、   I had been unhappy since(自从) my new neighbor moved in. Every time when I began writing, I could hear a girl singing next door. She didn’t sing well, and even out of tune(调). So it is really a noise pollution(噪音污染) for me.

One day, soon after I sat down behind the computer, I heard the girl singing again. I felt it was too noisy, so I had my husband go to next door and complained(抱怨) about the noise. Ten minutes later, my husband came back with a sad look, saying, “That girl is only 17 but she had bone(骨头) cancer. Her mother said that the more painful(痛的) it is, the louder(更大声地) her daughter sings.” I know now the singing helped reduce(减少) her pains.

I said to my husband, “Please tell her mother that the girl can sing as she likes. We don’t mind it at all.”

From that day on, I no longer thought the girl did anything wrong and even got used to her singing. I felt as if(好像) it were like the smell of sunbeams and watching the flowers and plants. The next year I left home on business. My husband phoned me that the girl died.

I returned home in late summer or early autumn. Sitting at home I couldn’t help feeling something wanting. Suddenly I understood that I could no longer hear the next-door girl sing.

【1】How did the writer feel when she heard the girl singing at first?

A.Unhappy. B.Thankful. C.Lucky. D.Surprised.

【2】When did the girl often sing next to the door?

A.When she was free. B.When she felt tired after work.

C.When she missed her mother. D.When she felt the pain.

24、Religion（宗教）was very important to the a【1】 Greeks. In their m【2】, religion made their lives better. They believed that the gods and goddesses would take care of them after they died.

The Greeks believed in many gods and goddesses. These gods and goddesses created everything in their lives. It was important to make them happy—happy gods and goddesses would help you, but unhappy ones would p【3】 you. When there were w【4】 between two countries, they prayed for their s【5】 to win. They also gave gifts to the gods and goddesses to make their wishes come true.
