21、   My mother is a teacher, and I grew up with the challenges a teacher faces. I often asked her,” Why do you teach? What keeps you teaching? "The answer was always the same." There is always that one child, that one moment that is worth it.”

Now, I am a teacher, too. But different from my mother, I teach students challenging activities outdoors. And when my mother asked me the similar questions, my answer was, "It's that one child, that one special moment.”

One of those moments happened recently. I was working with a group of girls in a four-week programme. Everything went on well through the "Team" events and we were moving on to a "High" one called the Wire（钢索）Walk. In the Wire Walk, each girl had to climb up the pegs(木桩)in a tree to a wire, 8 meters high, and then walk across it. Of course, everything was safe for sure. When I asked who would try, a few girls raised their hands, and they finished the Wire Walk with little difficulty.

But when it was Susie’s turn, it seemed that she didn’t really want to. I asked Susie if she was ready. She Answered softly, “I suppose.”

Now, Susie was at the foot of the tree. She started to make the long reach for the first peg. The other girls cheered for her. Then I found Susie was becoming nervous with every step. I realized she would not go much further.

Susie was halfway up. Then she stopped and held the tree tight, looking very afraid. Her eyes were closed. With her face against the tree, she cried, “I can’t.”

The other girls sat in silence. I talked quietly to Susie, trying to relax her. I talked for a long time till I ran out of words.

“I will still be your friend no matter what, Susie!" Mary broke the silence.

To my surprise, Susie lifted her head and looked up to the wire. Then she turned to look down at Mary and smiled. Mary smiled back.

Finally, Susie made it all the way across that wire. When she returned to the ground, the first hug she looked for was from Mary. We all cheered.

Moments like this keep me doing what I do. The young hearts continue to fill me with courage.

【1】Susie stopped halfway up to the wire because ________.

A.the teacher asked her to do it. B.something was wrong with it

A.a good method plays an important role in teaching B.a word of encouragement matters a lot

C.outdoor activities bring people closer than ever D.helping others is helping ourselves

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A.That One Moment B.The Wire Walk C.Love and Courage D.The Young Hearts

24、   Last year, I worked in a middle school near my mother's house, and I stayed with her for a month. During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food.

After the first week, I noticed that the food was eaten up very quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my mum. To my surprise, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bag and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them.

One day, I talked to a neighbour and found out that my mum was well-known in the area. The street children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own mother. Then it hit me—why wouldn't she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop buying food if I found out?

When my mum got home, I gave her a big hug(拥抱). I told her she didn't need to keep it a secret from me. And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small house. Others slept on the street. For years, she was helping the poor street children by giving them food. After she told me everything, I was so moved by how selfless(无私的) she was. She helped others in need. As her son, I was so proud of my mum.

I continued to buy food for my mum after that. But I always added one more bag for her other children.

【1】After the first week, the writer noticed that ______.

A.the food was put into a big box B.his mum followed the children

C.the food was eaten up quickly D.his mum stopped buying food

【2】The street children thought of the writer's mum as their ______.

A.His mother told him.

B.His neighbour told him.

C.He followed his mother and saw her taking the food to the street children.

D.The poor children told him.

【4】How did the writer feel about his mum after she told him everything?

A.He was proud of her. B.He was confident in her. C.He was angry with her.   D.He was worried about her.

【5】The writer added one more bag of food to ______.

A.make friends with the children B.get a hug from his mother

25、Just how well do you read? You may find this question difficult to answer. If a friend asks how tall you are, you may hand him a r【1】 and tell him to measure you. But you can’t measure your reading ability with a ruler.

Here is one way to j【2】 your reading ability. Take from your desk the book you are using this year — the textbooks needed for English, math and science. Read a few paragraphs from each textbook. Then ask y【3】 these questions. Do I read these books easily? Is it difficult for me to get the information from these books? Am I struggling (挣扎) through each book — looking at each word again and again, but still not able to understand w【4】 the words mean? Most people like you need to make their reading b【5】. The fifth grade pupil knows that the textbooks for the sixth grade will be more difficult than those he is using now. The middle school student knows that he must prepare to read books written for high school boys and girls.

The high school student knows that he must prepare to read c【6】 texts. And so it goes. Most people say, “I want to help myself.”

There is always one good rule that you should follow. You should keep your mind on all you are doing. A car may run through a stop light because the c【7】 driver is thinking of something other than his driving. The same is true with reading. If you think of nothing else while you are reading, you will become a better reader.
