1、 Do you “worship” your parents?
After I came to China, I started hearing the word “xiaoshun” a lot. It is often translated into English as “filial piety”. However, I think the translation “parent worship” is easier to understand. The basic idea behind “parent worship” is that children should always listen to their parents and do everything they can to make their parents happy.
I think many Chinese people I know would agree with the idea. I guess it is a nice idea, in theory（理论上）. But I also have some Chinese friends who would disagree.This is because they have had to do things they didn’t want to, just because their parents told them to_______For example, one of my good friends had to break up with her boyfriend because her parents thought he didn’t make enough money. “孝顺”似乎有时候也是不公平的。
Most kids in the US, especially teenagers, would probably disagree with “parent worship”, too. In fact, arguing with one’s parents and being rebellious (叛逆的) is common for US teens. 我经常与我的父母就家规进行争论，而且我也不总是遵守那些规矩。
I think the best way is somewhere in the middle. Most, if not all of us, love our parents and try our best to respect（尊重） them. So of course we should follow their rules and try not to stress them out (使紧张). On the other hand, parents should respect their kids as well and give them some reasonable freedom and independence.

24、
Over the years I’ve been teaching children about a simple but powerful philosophy (哲学)—the ant philosophy.
They have an amazing four-part philosophy and here is the first part: ants never give up. 【1】, they’ll look for another way.
【2】. You can’t be so simple as to think summer will last forever. So ants gather (收集) their winter food in the middle of summer. Think ahead.
The third part is that ants think summer all winter. During the winter, ants tell themselves, “This won’t last long; we’ll soon be out of here.” And, on the first warm day, the ants are out. If it turns cold again, they’ll go back. 【3】.
And here’s the last part of the ant philosophy. How much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? 【4】. What a wonderful philosophy, the “all-you-possible-can” philosophy!
Wow, what a great seminar to attend—the ant seminar! Never give up, look ahead, stay active and do all you can.
A．Second, ants think winter all summer
B．If they go somewhere and you try to stop them
C．All he possible can
D．Summer and winter are both important to ants
E．However, they will come out at once when it gets warm
25、 We often reach a point in our life when we should be ready for change that will help us unlock our self-improvement power. However, there's always something staring at us right under our nose but we don’t see it. The only time we think of unlocking our self-improvement power is when everything gets worst.
When do was realize that we need to change diets? When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to stop smoking? When our lungs have gone bad. We see the warning signs and signals when things get rough and difficult.
The only time most of us ever learn about unlocking our self-improvement power is when the whole world is falling apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change, but change becomes more painful when we ignore it.
Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power not because the world says so, but because we realize it's for our own good.
Happy people don't just accept change; they embrace it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change.
Jane always tells everyone that she doesn’t have the courage to be around groups of people. She heard her family tell the same things about her to other people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it!
Self-improvement may not be everybody’s favorite word, but if we look at things in a different way, we might have greater chances of enjoying the whole process instead of counting the days until we are fully improved. Three sessions in a week at the gym would result in a healthier life. Reading book every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our self-improvement power will we realize that we’re beginning to take things light and become happy.

26、 Two policemen stopped Andrew Kershaw in his sports car one night, because he was speeding in the street of the town. The young man was very drunk. He knew he was in trouble, so he decided to make fun of them. He was a law student at the university, so he knew the law very well, better than most people.
When the policemen came to his car, Andrew asked one of the policemen to write down in his notebook everything they said. The policemen had to do this because it is the law, although people usually don’t know it. The policemen tested Andrew’s breath and the breathalyzer showed that he had too much alcohol in his blood. This all took a long time because the policemen had to write down everything that he and the policemen said.
In the end, by law, the policemen had to ask Andrew if he wanted to say anything. Andrew decided that he had two things to say and the policemen had to write down. The first thing was “Please don’t hit me again, officer”. And the second thing was “Does the other officer want ￡5, too?” Of course, the poor policeman had to read this in court, in front of the judge , and he was very embarrassed. Andrew, who was in court, thought it was very funny, until the judge took away his license for a year and fined（罚款）him ￡100, ￡90 for drunk driving, and ￡10 for his rudeness!
【1】The policemen stopped Andrew in his car because __________.
A．it was very late

27、 It was often the most exciting for the children when the teacher gave every child a job in the class. The children would be responsible for the rest of that school year. Rita was a kind and quiet girl. Last year she did the best. She was the favorite to be given the best job---to look after the class dog. But this year there was a big surprise. Each child received one of the normal jobs, like preparing the books for the lessons, cleaning the blackboard or looking after one of the pets. But Rita's job was very different. She was given a little box with some sand and one ant. Although the teacher said that this ant was very special, Rita still felt disappointed.
"I will turn this little task into something great," Rita said to herself. She started to study everything about the little ant, gave it the best food and made the box perfect. The ant ended up growing quite a little bigger.
One day, the teacher announced(宣布）that Rita’s class was chosen to the tropical rainforest to study all kinds of insects in summer, because the class looked after the little ant well.
The class was filled with joy. Everyone thanked Rita for having been so patient and responsible. And children learned that you have to know how to be responsible for the given tasks even the smallest ones.
【1】How did Rita feel when the teacher gave her the job this year?
A. Disappointed. B. Interested. C. Worried. D. Sad.
【2】The class was chosen to go to the tropical rainforest because______.

【3】What did the children learn from the tasks ?
A. Being a good student will get praise and prizes.
B. Every teacher thanked Rita for being kind and quiet.
C. Studying insects can help people become more successful.
D. We should be responsible for the task even if it seems small.

28、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.
For most city people, the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains, jets,and even bicycles. Dr. Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who c【1】 this a misunderstanding. Without the elevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as we know it would be i【2】. In that sense, they argue, the elevator’s role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk? the car and the elevator have been locked in a “secret war” for over a century, with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally (水平地), and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical (垂直的) columns.
If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief, boring, and even awkward experience one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common, and an unpleasant a 【3】 of the fact that we’re hanging from a cable in a long passage.
In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his a 【4】 to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its r【5】 to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience. “After 150 years, we are still not used to it”, Bernard said. “We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.” That mixture, according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other s【6】 we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.
Today, as the world’s urban population explodes, and cities become more c【7】 and taller, America’s total number of elevators—900,000 at last count, according to Elevator World magazine’s “2012 Vertical Transportation Industry”—are a force that’s becoming more important than ever. And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.
