21、I will never forget the tenth summer of childhood with my grandfather in western Norway on the mountain farm where my mother was born. As a boy, I always thought people simply bought whatever they need. Whether Grandfather know this, I didn’t know. One day he said, “Come, I have something for you. ’’

I followed him to a workroom. “You should have a toy boat. You can sail it at Storvassdal,” he said. “Great,” I thought, looking around for the boat. But there was none.

Grandfather pointed to a block of wood. “The boat is there,” he said. Then he handed me some tools and showed me how to use them properly. “It’ll be a fine boat, and you’ll make it with your own hands,” he said, “No one can give you what you do for yourself.” The words rang in my head as I worked. The boat was finished. It wasn’t much to look at, but I was proud. Then I sailed it at Storvassdal.

We had to return to America. “You cannot bring that boat home with you,” my mother said. We had too much baggage. Feeling sad, I hid my boat under a big rock at Storvassdal.

I said good-bye to Grandfather, not knowing I would never see him again.

In 1964, I went to Storvassdal with my parents and my wife and children. To my surprise, for 34 years my treasure stayed here, waiting for my return. I felt we three were together again although my grandfather had died 22 years before.

I carved(雕刻) “1930” and “1964” on its side and put it back.

I returned to the lake in 1968,1971,1977 and 1988. Each time I had the boat and carved the year, my grandfather seemed near.

My last trip to Storvassdal was in 1991. I brought my granddaughters: Catherine, 13; Claire, 12. I hoped they would understand the importance of the little boat and its simple message. At Storvassdal, Claire said softly, “Grandpa, someday I’ll come back.” She added, “And I’ll bring my children.”

【1】What lesson did the writer’s grandfather probably teach him?

A．Boys should have a toy boat at childhood.

B．People can simply buy whatever they need.

C．Boys should learn to make a boat out of wood.

D．No one can give you what you do for yourself.

【2】The underlined words “we three” in Paragraph 6 refer to ________.

A．Mother, the boat and me

B．Catherine, Claire and me

C．Grandfather, the boat and me

D．Grandfather, Mother and me

【3】According to the passage, we can infer that ________.

A．The writer’s grandfather died in 1930

B．Claire understood the meaning of the boat

C．The boat took me back to Norway four times

D．The writer’s mother was born in western Norway

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A．The Little Boat And My life

B．The Little Boat And My Parents

C．The Little Boat That Sailed At Storvassdal

D．The Little Boat That Sailed Through Time

23、   Healthy eating doesn’t just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here is some advice on healthy eating.

Eat with others. It can help you to know others’ healthy eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious. Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty—sometimes you are just thirsty, you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.

Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Since you don’t eat for the past ten hours of sleeping, your body needs food to get energy. You will be smarter after eating breakfast.

Eat healthy snacks like fruits or cheese. We all need snacks sometimes. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your three meals. This doesn’t mean that you can eat a bag of chips instead of a meal.

Don’t eat dinner late. Because of the busy life, we always put off eating dinner until the last minute. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8 to 10 hours.
