24、

Huw Thomas fell in love with Megan. But then an accident changed his life, and he had to move to Canada. Megan promised to write to him. But Huw never heard from her…until one day a letter arrived.

He saw the letter came from where he and his father had lived in their early years. Who was writing to him? He turned the envelope（信封）over in his hands several times. Then he took out the letter and read:

Dear Huw,

I don't know if this letter will reach you, and I don't really know why I'm writing to you after all these years, but…

Huw turned to the end of the letter and saw:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Best wishes

Megan

He couldn't believe it. He turned back to the first words of the letter and read:

…after all these years, but I've just found your letters to me from Canada. Believe me, this was the first time I'd read them and they made me cry, even after 50 years I found them in a box of my father's papers. They were never opened.

Huw, I never knew that you'd written to me. I thought your new life in Canada had made you forget me.

Now I realize（明白）that my father kept your letters. I can still remember asking him if there was any letter for me, and he always said “_____________, my girl. I told you he was no good.” Finally, after about a year, I believed him.

But why did he keep the letters? Do you think he wanted me to find them when it was too late? Anyway, he's dead now, so I can't ask him. All I can say is I'm sorry. Sorry for what my father did, sorry that you never heard from me and sorry for…everything.

I hope that at least this letter reaches you. Of course, I'll understand if you don't want to write back to me, but if you do. I am still Megan Jenkins, and I still live at the same address.

Best wishes,

Megan

Huw read the letter again. Everything with Megan came back to him. He had never forgotten her. He couldn't. Every day he looked at her face on the wall. He had a drawing of her. It had traveled everywhere with him. But to hear from her again…"Are you all right, Dad?" asked Mike, coming into the room.

[Adapted（改编）from Two Lives by Helen Naylor]

25、   Astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) once made history by taking bites of red romaine lettuce (长叶药昔）. They became the first humans to eat food that was grown entirely in space.

The lettuce was planted on the ISS in a small greenhouse called “Veggie”, which uses LED lights to help plants grow in space.

First, the astronauts cleaned the lettuce with special sanitizing wipes(消毒纸巾） and then ate it with some salad dressing.

“It was one small bite for man, one giant leap (飞跃）for ...our journey to Mars.”one astronaut, Scott Kelly, later posted on social media.

Space vegetables are a part of the NASA experiment called “Veg-01”, a study on how plants grow without the effects of Earth’s gravity（重力）. It will allow astronauts to grow and eat their own food during long space explorations.

“If we’re ever going to go to Mars someday, we're going to need a spacecraft that is much more self-sustainable in its food supply(供应）”, said Kelly.

Growing fresh plants on a spacecraft may also provide oxygen and help keep astronauts alive, NASA said.

Veg-o1 started in May 2014.The first batch(一批）of vegetables took 33 days to grow in space before they were taken back to Earth for a safety check. After making sure they were safe to eat, astronauts planted a second batch on July 8. They let the plant grow for another 33 days and were then able to eat it.

Astronauts usually only get vegetables when a supply ship comes to the ISS. Now with vegetables grown in space, they can eat them whenever they want.

【1】Astronauts made history by________.

A.working on the ISS B.eating space-grown lettuce

C.cooking real food in space D.building a small greenhouse.

【2】What is Veg-01?

A.It is the name of the greenhouse on the ISS.

B.It is a NASA project for exploring Mars.

C.It is a NASA experiment growing plants in space.

D.It s a NASA experiment on providing oxygen in space.

【3】According to Kelly, why is growing fresh plants in space important?

A.Because it provides people with healthier food.

B.Because it can help astronauts with their journey to Mars.

C.Because it provides astronauts with enough oxygen.

D.Because it cuts the cost of delivering food to the ISS.

【4】What does the underlined word “self-sustainable” mean in Chinese?

A.独自生长的 B.自我完善的 C.自我延续 D.自给自足的

【5】What is the main idea of the story?

A.The success of growing vegetables in space. B.What food astronauts eat in space.

C.How astronauts get food in space. D.Astronauts’ work and life on the ISS.

27、You change the channels for the fourth time and realize that once again there’s nothing on television that gets your attention. Not a problem! Throw on some running shoes and comfortable clothes and go for a run.

One of the coolest things about the sport of running is that you don’t need expensive equipment(装备). All you need is a good pair of running shoes and a safe environment. But just because you don’t need much equipment don’t be fooled into thinking the sport of running is easy. No one wakes up and decides to run a marathon without training.

Running makes your heart， lungs， and muscles stronger. It makes you know more about your body. Running also gives you energy by increasing your oxygen(氧气) intake， so you don’t get sick easily. It can even help you keep your mind on school work because exercise helps you to think more clearly.

How do you take part in the sport if you don’t know much about it? Most schools offer cross-country and track programs， but there are also running clubs open to all ages. A simple Internet search can help you find some in your area. The programs show you how running can offer competition or just be for fun. They also teach runners to set realistic goals and take care of their bodies.

Runners have great respect for each other because they know how difficult the sport can be. If you go to a race， you’ll see people cheering for all the runners， from the first place finisher to the last place finisher. Running isn’t always about how fast you are or how far you’re going. It’s about getting out there and doing it. Taking part is more important than competition， and effort is recognized over gift.

If you’re looking for more than just a sport， running may be the perfect choice for you.

A. Running helps you win a marathon.

B. Running helps you improve your study.

C. Running helps you think more about yourself.
