24、   Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back.

But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?

Don’t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.

Don’t let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.

Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Don’t be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.

Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.

Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift, that’s why we call it “the present”. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.

26、阅读下列短文，从每小题中选出一个最佳答案。

Today, more and more people try to become a volunteer. The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services.” It is difficult to help others all the time, but if you insist in(坚持) that, you will be very happy. If you have much free time, you should take an active part in activities, such as taking care of sick people, working in homeless children, and picking up garbage from beaches and parks.

Jenny, a good friend of mine, came back from India with a new idea of being a volunteer. Helping others is also a kind of happiness. What’s more, when we help others, it can be a way of helping ourselves. When we learn how to give others, we can further our morals(道德规范). She worked in a home for sick people. She helped wash clothes and passed out lunch. She also fed the weak people and tried to cheer them up. She said that if all of us can give a helping hand as a volunteer, our world will be full of love and that will make our world nicer and nicer.

27、   English is spoken as a first language by most people in the USA, Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. However, English is also spoken all over the world. It is the main language in over 60 countries, including India, Singapore and many of the Carribean and Pacific islands. In these places English is often as a second language.

English is also an international language in many other countries, like China and Japan. People in these countries use it for business, and travelers to these countries use English when they get there. Other people may learn English because they enjoy reading books in English, listening to British or American music or watching American films.

English has changed a lot over the years and still goes on changing. It is no longer right to talk about British English or American English because they are much the same. People in Japan and Korea, for example, may use the American spelling but may not sound like Americans.

English will probably be the most widely used language in the world by the end of the 21st century. This language no longer belongs to British, American or Australian. It belongs to anyone in the world. So, as middle school students, you should think about how you can use this language well because as you leave school, you will almost certainly need it.

28、请根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。（每空一词）

“The Arctic(北极) is dying,” researchers returning from the largest-ever Arctic expedition(远征) have warned.

The program the scientists are w【1】 on is called MOSAiC—Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate(北极气候研究多学科漂流观测计划). Scientists from 20 countries, i【2】 China, spent a year in the Arctic from September 2019 to October 2020 to collect data(数据) about environment and climate change. They predict that if we k【3】 going as we are, the Arctic will have no ice during the summer within just a few decades.

Global warming and the melting(融化) of sea ice are having a huge influence on Arctic life. For example, polar bears depend on sea ice to hunt seals. But when the sea ice melts, they are f【4】 onto land, where there’s not enough food for them. Scientists say the number of polar bears will d【5】 by two-thirds to less than 10,000 by 2050.

A【6】 the days get warmer, there’s more rain than snow in the Arctic. This hurts the millions of reindeer(驯鹿) and caribou(北美驯鹿) that eat moss(苔藓) , lichen(地衣) and grass. When rain falls, it locks there animals’ food in ice i【7】 of snow. Many of them starve(挨饿) to death because they can’t r【8】 the food under the ice.

Such losses have destroyed the lives of indigenous(土著的) people who depend on reindeer and caribou for a l【9】. The Inuit(因纽特人) use very part of the caribou—sinew(筋) for thread, hide(皮毛) for clothing, and flesh(肉) for food. In Europe and Russia, the Sami people raise thousands of reindeer. But as these animals are disappearing, their traditional way of living, which has existed for thousands of years, may be f【10】 only in memory in the future. What a pity it is!

29、Once a young man was traveling by train. It was a long and boring journey.

As the train was moving through a wilderness (荒野), the passengers looked out of the windows quietly. When the train reached a bend (转弯处), it slowed down and then a simple house ______. Most of the passengers on the train turned to enjoy it with their eyes ______ open. Some passengers even began a discussion about it. The young man was also ______ in the house. On his return he ______ the train at the nearest station and found his way to the house. Its owner said he was troubled by the ______ of the train. He wanted to sell the house, but nobody would buy it.

The young man made a final ______ to pay 10, 000 dollars for the house. He thought it was a good place for advertisement because it just ______ the railway bend. When the train moved slowly past, the tired passengers would be attracted by the house.

After that, he tried to ______ some big companies and told them that it could be used for advertisement. At last, the Coca-Cola Company took it to ______ their slogans. To everyone’s surprise, the young man was ______ 110,000 dollars for a three-year rent by the Coca-Cola Company.
