21、   I will never forget a girl student sitting at the back of the classroom. Having failed the college entrance examination and changed schools twice, she couldn't smile naturally.

Life is harder for senior high school students. Every time when the scores came out, her scores wouldn't be the first but the last. Dark clouds always flashed in her eyes. When I invited her to the teachers' office, we never talked about studies or scores but jokes.

The exam results finally came out and she did pass! Since then she had never been heard from again.

Two days before the Spring Festival Eve, I was shopping in a supermarket. Suddenly an excited voice came into my ears, "Hello, Mr Deng." I looked up and she was doing her part-time job during the college vacation. From her happy face, I could see she was busy but happy. "Mr Deng, I am in the second year of my college. You helped me get through my darkest time. Thank you."

At that moment, I realized how important it was to give a bit of care to those in need. Your each gesture or word may mean a lot to someone.

【1】How many times did the girl take the college entrance examination?

A.Once. B.Twice. C.Three times. D.Four times.

A.You may help others a lot even if you give a little.

B.You should greet others when meeting on the way.

C.You must try to help everyone in need.

D.You need to explain each gesture or word to someone.

23、   April Fool’s Day is coming! But do you know how April Fool’s Day comes?

In the sixteenth century in France, the start of the New Year was on April 1st. People celebrated the New Year in the same way as it is today. They held parties and danced into the late night.

Then in 1562, Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar into the Christian(基督教的)world, and the new year fell on January 1st. Some people didn’t believe the change in the date, so they celebrated the New Year on April 1st. Others played tricks on them and called them “April fools”.

Today Americans play small tricks on friends on the first day of April. One common trick on April Fool’s Day is pointing down to a friend’s shoe and saying, “Your shoelace is untied.” School children like to tell a classmate that there are no classes. Then if someone believes the trick, he or she will be called the “April fool”! People play tricks on each other only because they want to enjoy themselves together. Most jokes are really funny and people play tricks not to hurt anyone but to find happiness.

24、       Last year, Bob visited Vancouver, Canada alone. He went there to give a talk on the environment. When it was over, he traveled to the Rocky Mountains and stayed in the Maple Leaf Hotel. He then took a short walk to look at the local (当地的) plants in the forest. After a few hours, he knew he took the wrong way, but was sure he could get back to the hotel.

       However, after walking for several hours the next day, Bob knew he was in trouble. “I had my mobile phone, but the battery (电池) was almost dead. I could probably make just one call. But I didn’t know the number of my hotel and I didn’t want to worry my family unless I really had to,” said Bob. He went on walking for three more days. He knew which plants he could eat and he had little trouble finding them.

       On the fourth day, he knew it was hopeless and decided to call his family. “He was quite calm when he spoke to me on the phone,” said Shirley, Bob’s wife (妻子). “He seemed to be in control of the situation.” Shirley called the Maple Leaf Hotel at once. “That week lots of visitors went to the city to watch basketball games, and we thought Mr. Rigsby went there too,” said the hotel owner. As soon as Shirley phoned, the hotel sent out some people to look for Bob. They found him about one hour later, and luckily he was quite unhurt.

“I will never go to the forest without a guide. I never want an experience like that again,” said Bob.

25、根据短文内容和所给汉语提示，在空白处写出单词的正确形式，每空一词。

Qomolangma is the highest mountain in the world. It lies in the 【1】(西南方的) part of China.
