21、   There are at least 3,000 miles (about 4,828 km) of waterways in Britain. On these canals (运河) and rivers, there are over 30,000 "houseboats"--boats that people use as homes. Around 10,000 of them are located in London.

Houseboat communities are made up of people who are looking for a slower way of life and who want to be in touch with nature.

Living on the water sounds romantic (浪漫的), but it is also hard work. There are daily things that need to be done, like bringing fuel (燃料) and water on board and dealing with "waste" water from the kitchen sink, shower and toilet. In winter, living on a boat can be very cold and there is always a feeling of being damp(潮湿的). Of course, most boats are quite small inside, so you don't have much space, especially if you are a couple, family or group of friends.

However, the number of people living on Britain's waterways has increased by around 50 percent over the past ten years. This is not only because they like the idea of life on water but also because it is much cheaper to buy or rent (租) a boat than a flat or a house.

There is a great sense of community on the waterways. Houseboat neighbours often become friends for life. This is quite a different story from people who live in flats or houses and may hardly know the people next door at all.

【1】What can we know about houseboats in Britain from the passage?

A. There are about 40,000 houseboats in total. B. They are boats that are used as homes.

C. They are houses in the shape of boats. D. They are designed for traveling on water.

【2】Why do people live in houseboats?

A. They want to get away from nature. B. They need to make a living by fishing.

C. They prefer a slower way of life. D. They enjoy living an faster life on water.

【3】What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about?

A. The best season to live on a boat. B. Tips for living on a houseboat.

C. The costs of living on water. D. The difficulties of living on the water.

【4】Why are more people choosing to live on waterways?

A. Because it costs less than living in a house or flat.

B. Because the government is promoting (推进) this idea.

C. Because they are afraid of living in cities.

D. Because it provides a bad sense of community

22、   Here are some American classroom rules:

◎If the teacher asks a question, you should give an answer. If you don’t understand the question, put up your hand and ask the answer.

◎There is no excuse for not doing your homework. If you miss a class, you should call and ask for the homework.

◎You shouldn’t miss a test. If you are seriously（严重地） ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows make-up tests, you should take the test in one or two days after returning to class. Serious illness is the only reason for missing a test.

◎Be on time! It is rude（粗鲁的，无理的） to be late. If you must come late, be sure to do it quietly. Have your books and papers out of your bag before you come into the room. Then go to your seat and sit quietly. It is not necessary to knock before you enter the classroom. If you must leave during class, do so quietly. There is no need to ask the teacher.
