24、One day a red rose blossomed (开花) in a forest. A pine tree(松树) not far away said, “You’re so beautiful! I wish I could be lovely like you. ”

The rose said, “I am the most beautiful plant in the forest.” Then the rose looked at a cactus(仙人掌) and said, “Look at that ugly plant. It is full of thorns (刺)!”Sometimes, the red rose would look at the cactus and say, “This plant is useless. I’m sorry I am his neighbor. ”

Summer came and the plants and animals needed water, but no rain fell. One day the rose saw some birds stick their beaks(鸟喙) into the cactus and then fly away.

25、Many of the things we use every day were first made or invented by someone who had a good idea. You might be surprised to know that many of those inventors were kids.

One kid inventor was Frank Epperson. He created a treat when he was only eleven. He left his drink of juice, with the stirring stick in it, outside on a cold night. The next morning, he found that the stick froze(结冰) inside the drink. Eighteen years later, Frank Epperson applied(申请) for a patent(专利) for it and began producing different flavors(味道) of this frozen treat. He called this treat the Ep-sicle and then his children convinced(说服) him to rename it the popsicle. Popsicles became one of the best summer treats.

Sometimes, kids invent things when they see a problem that they think they can solve. Becky Schroeder invented something that worked like a lighted clipboard(带夹写字板) when she was only ten. She did homework in the family car in the early evening and she wanted to find a way to see and write in the dark. She tried and found a special paint which glowed(发出微弱的光) strongly enough for her to see to write. Today many people still use the glowing backgrounds, including doctors and astronauts.

Chelsea Lanmon created the pocket diaper(尿布) in 1994 at the age of eight. She thought of creating the pocket diaper when she was helping her mother with her baby brother. Her invention included a diaper, a powder puff(粉扑), and a baby wipe(纸巾).

26、Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）

Unless we spend money to spot（认出，发现） and prevent asteroids（小行星）now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists.

Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids（流星体） that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don’t threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth.

Buy $500 million worth of new telescopes right now, they spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we’ll have a way to change its course.

Is it worth it？ Two things experts consider when judging any risk are: （1） How likely the event is; （2） How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare but if one did fall. It would be the end of the world. “If we don’t take care of these big asteroids, they’ll take care of us,” says one scientist. “It’s that simple. ”

The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets（队，车队） of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth？ “The world has less fear from doomsday rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them.” said a New York Times article.

【1】What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids？

A.They are heavenly bodies different in composition. B.They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.

C.There are more asteroids than meteoroids. D.Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids.

【2】What do scientists say about the collision, of an asteroid with Earth？

A.It is very unlikely but the danger exists.

B.Such a collision might occur once every 25 years.

C.Collisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected.

D.It’s still too early to say whether such a collision might occur.

【3】What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the course of asteroids？

A.It sounds practical but it may not solve the problem.

B.It may create more problems than it might solve.

C.It is a waste of money because a collision of asteroids with Earth is very unlikely.

D.Further research should be done before it is proved applicable.

【4】We can conclude from the passage that

A.while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world.

B.asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near future.

C.the worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetime.

D.workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth.

【5】Which of the following best describes the author’s tone in this passage？

A.Optimistic. B.Critical. C.Objective. D.Arbitrary（武断的）

【6】The best title for the passage is __________.

A.How will the world end？ B.Asteroids and meteoroids in the sky.

C.Nuclear weapons on Earth. D.What if asteroids crash into Earth？

27、April will bring a new product - the Apple Watch - into the market. Last week, the watch was firstly introduced by Tun Cook, Apple's CEO. The price of the watch will differ from $349 to $1,099, depending on its size, strap and whether it is a sports or regular style.

Apple engineers and designers have put in a lot of thought and hard work into creating this "small screen" on your wrist(手腕). The "sensor" on the screen not only detects your finger, but knows the difference between when you are tapping, and when you are pressing harder.

The watch also has "hal)tic feedback(触觉反馈)". You can send personal messages to your friend - such as drawing a star or a special sign with your fingers, or tapping the watch, say 3 times, and your friend will receive those taps on their wrist. Besides telling the time, the watch will use bluetooth' to connect with your iPhone and show calls or text messages that come in.

According to Tim Cook, the watch may open up a whole new area of applications that we had never thought of. Some car factories like BMW have developed an app that allows its car owners to open their cars with the watch. A Hotels' app may allow you to open the door to your hotel room without worrying about losing the smart-card. And finally, even airlines are jumping in - passengers may be able to simply wave their wrist to check into their flight.

The biggest use of the watch, however, is as your personal fitness coach. The watch can measure your pulse (heartbeat) using a sensor at the bottom of the watch. It also has the same "accelerometer" as your iPhone, so it knows when you are moving, and also how much you are walking or running, It will remind you if you have been sitting for too long without much activity.

28、When I was a junior high school student in 1980, life gave me a gift — it was happiness.

But I only enjoy my life. I was lucky to realize from an accident: it’s a waste of our life to focus on what you have lost. We should always think of 【8】 ________ we have. So why are so many people unhappy? Someone may say, “My whole life would improve if I had a new car. But when you get the car, what happens? 【9】 ________ a whole week you are walking on air.
