24、   It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers(祖先) had lived in the same way for centuries.

Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frogs’ legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.

This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was to catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn’t last long.

The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and there seemed to be more insects around lately.

The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicine. Soon there was no money left.

Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frogs. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more quickly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.

Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of night now have a much deeper meaning.

【1】Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?

A.They needed money to buy medicine. B.The frogs were easy money.

C.They wanted to please the visitors. D.The frogs made too much noise.

【2】What might be the cause of the children’s sickness?

A.The crops didn’t do well. B.The visitors brought in diseases.

C.There were too many insects. D.The pesticides were overused.

【3】What can we learn from the last sentence of this article?

A.Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.

B.The harmony between man and nature is important.

C.Health is more important than money.

D.Good old days will never be forgotten.

25、I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.

I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.

The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism (乐观主义), but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost-having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."

My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.

From my experiences I have learned one important rule： Almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.

27、Coffee is one of the western drinks,it is popular everywhere.But if you enter a coffee  shop,you will feel puzzled ,bow to choose one kind of coffee is a difficult choice.Here is some   information about coffee,perhaps it can help you to choose .

Cafe Espresso is loved by many coffee experts（行家）  and is known as "The rose of coffee ". Espresso is made by forcing very hot water under high pressure through finely ground (细磨的） coffee. Crema, a heavy red-brown foam layer(泡沫层)  , stands for good espresso. It tastes strong and bitter for those who are new to the coffee world.

Cafe Americano is an espresso shot (一份一盎司的浓缩咖啡)that tastes with hot water. It's said the name was given to  Americans whom the Europeans believed didn't like drinking straight espressos. Americano is recommended to new coffee lovers who may find the espresso taste is too strong. In China, many coffee shops add cream and sugar to Americano to suit the taste of regular customers.

Cappuccino and Latte are the favorite kinds of coffee among girls, both consisting of espresso, steamed milk(热蒸奶)， and frothed milk(奶沫). All this makes the coffee taste weaker. Cappuccino has a thicker layer of frothed milk than latte. When enjoying a quality cup of Cappuccino, you are actually enjoying a moment of romance(浪漫).

Mocha is also a popular after-dinner coffee in the west. It is one part espresso with one part of chocolate syrup(糖浆) and two or three parts of frothed milk. Whipped cream(鲜奶油) on top is an option. For a friend who rarely drinks coffee but likes chocolate, mocha is the best choice.
