24、Mary was waiting for the airplane to take off. She was happy to get a seat by herself. Just then, an air hostess came up to her and asked. “Would you mind changing your seat? A man would like to sit with his wife.” The only available(空的) seat was next to a girl with her arms broken, a black-and-blue face, and a sad expression(神情). “I don’t want to sit there,” Mary thought at once. But then a soft voice inside spoke, “She needs help.” Finally, Mary moved to that seat.The girl was named Emily. She had been in a car accident and now was on her way for treatment.

When the snacks and juice arrived, Mary realized that Emily could not feed herself. Mary thought about offering to feed her but she hesitated(犹豫), as it seemed too impolite to offer such a help to a stranger. But then Mary realized that Emily’s need was more important. Mary offered to help her eat. Although Emily was uncomfortable to accept, she agreed. They became closer and closer in a short time. By the end of the five-hour trip, Mary’s heart had warmed, and the time was really better spent than if she had just sat by herself.

25、I used to be not active in class. I was afraid to answer questions in class and I found that a lot of my classmates were just like me. When the teacher asked a question, I always lowered my head because I was afraid that the teacher saw me.

One day, in a foreign language class, Mr. Black gave us a lesson. He wanted us to be active in class, so he asked us some questions, but no one answered. “Let me tell you a story first,” he said.

“When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a cardboard (纸板) folded in half, wrote their names in bold（显眼的） with the most eye－catching color, and then placed the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see and call a listener’s name directly.”

“I couldn’t understand that. My classmate told me the speakers were all top people, who meant chances. When your answer surprised him, it meant he might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students got great chances because of that.”

After listening to the story, I understood that the chance will not find you itself. You must show yourself all the time so that you can find a chance and then catch it.

26、Imagine your home is in the center of a big circle. Everything you need is a 10-minute walk away. How convenient!

Recently, a group of architects（建筑师）from South Korea decided to make this a reality. They are planning a city with everything people need— including living areas, study rooms, offices and entertainment（娱乐）areas -within a 10-minute walk from home.

When explaining why they wanted to build such a city, Ben van Berkel, a leader of company UNStudio, said people’s daily life experience is the most important. The “10-minute city” is so convenient that it won’t take people much time to travel elsewhere. “With time that is saved, more time is created,” Berkel told CNN.

The idea of such a city is not new. In 2016, French-Colombian researcher Carlos Moreno came up with the “15-minute city” idea. The COVID-19 pandemic（流行病）has made it more popular. During the pandemic, many people have been made to spend most of their time at home, with less chance to go out of their communities.

Paloma Ezzet, 16, is an example. She said that before the pandemic, she liked to play soccer or go dancing. But during the pandemic, she had to give them up as no such entertainment areas or facilities（设备）were in her community. “It is gloomy, lonely and inconvenient, ” Ezzet complained（抱怨）.

French professor Roxana Bobulescu agrees that the pandemic has broken our routine（日常）, making us rethink our lives and what our cities can look like. Ten-minute cities may be a good choice.

But not everyone likes the idea. Some people say it would lead to high house prices in the most convenient areas, so with such risk, should people stop considering this idea? Maybe not. As Bobulescu said, “The seeds（种子）are there, and they’ll grow little by little. ”

【1】According to Ben van Berkel, the purpose of “10-minute city” is ______.

A．to improve people’s daily life experience

B．to encourage people to go out of their communities

C．to make people spending more time travelling

【2】The underlined word in Paragraph（段落）Five means ______ in Chinese.

A．令人欣喜的

B．令人沮丧的

C．令人安宁的

【3】In Roxana Bobulescu’s opinion, what made us rethink our lives?

A．The COVID-19 pandemic.

B．High house prices.

C．Small communities.

【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．Ben van Berkel and Carlos Moreno have similar ideas about “10-minute city”.

B．People might take the risk of house price rising in “10-minute city”.

C．Paloma Ezzet had to give up dancing as there was no entertainment areas in “10-minute city”.

【5】What can be the best title（标题）of the text?

A．Architects from South Korea

B．Idea of 10-minute City

C．Future City and Entertainment

27、When I was young, my father used to grow carnations — a kind of flower that was red, pink or white. He took care of them with much love and devotion. Every day he came home from work, he would enjoy watching them. And he used to tell us, “No one should touch my flowers.”
