21、   The Wilsons decided to go overseas for a vacation. They had a family meeting to plan the vacation.

“First,” Mr. Wilson said, “we should decide where we want to go.”

“I don’t agree,” Mrs. Wilson said. “I think we should decide when we want to go first. We don’t want to go to some countries where it’s cold.”

Mr. Wilson agreed, so the family’s first decision was when to go on vacation. They decided to go in July, when it’s warm throughout the northern hemisphere(半球).

 “Now we can decide where to go,” Mr. Wilson said.

“But, Dad,” Ben said, “don’t you think that where we go depends on how we go? If we plan to fly, we can go a long way. If we plan to drive, we can’t go so far.”

Again Mr. Wilson agreed, and they discussed this. At last they agreed to travel by plane.

Then Mr. Wilson said, “Now, where do we want to go?”

 “Actually, Dad,” Trudy said, “l think we should work out how many days we’ll have before we can decide where to go.”

And so the meeting went on. The next day, one of Mr. Wilson’s friends at work asked, “Have you planned your vacation yet?”

“We’ve decided when we want to go, how we want to get there and how many days we can spend,” Mr. Wilson told him, “but we still haven’t decided where we’re going!”

22、Last Friday, I agreed to meet some friends at 6:00 p.m. in a coffee shop. The weather was sunny, so I decided to walk there. I arrived ten minutes early. I ordered a cup of coffee and sat watching people. There were some boys playing football on the street, and a small boy was running after the ball as it rolled (滚) across the road.

Suddenly, there came a car. It was going very fast. When the driver saw the boy in his way, he braked (刹车) hard. But it was too late. The small boy was lying on the street without moving. To everyone’s surprise, the car didn’t stop. It drove away quickly.

People ran to the boy. There was a cut on the boy’s head and he lost a lot of blood. The coffee shop owner telephoned the police. Soon an ambulance (救护车) arrived and took the boy to the hospital.

At 6:30 p.m., the police arrived and started questioning people. About half an hour later, they asked me to go to the police station because I saw everything. I gave them all the information I knew because I really wanted them to catch the driver. I didn’t leave the police station until 8:00 p.m. After that I went home because I didn’t feel like talking to anyone.

The next day, the boy’s parents called me to say thanks. They also told me their boy was fine and the driver was in the police station now.

23、It was 21 years ago, on a very cold morning, Mary opened the library in New York. She heard a cat cry and found a white cat in a pile of books at last.

Mary recalled, “His little feet were frozen, we gave him a bath to warm him up and he purred（咕噜叫）all the time.”

It was a Cinderella story for Garfield in 1988, the cat who has lived happily among the books ever since.

“His story has a life of its own,” Mary says while reading the cat’s fan mail. “We have people drive hundreds of miles out of their way just to see Garfield. We even had a Japanese public television crew come here to make a short film of him.”

Shortly after the cat’s rescue, a photo of the library’s “new employee” sitting on the card catalog appeared in local newspapers. Local people were invited to help name the cat and many cast votes . “We have never had such a big crowd for a contest and there wasn’t even a prize,” Mary says with a laugh.

Garfield grew from a popular local “library employee” to a national star with his pictures on calendars. However, he is not the only cat who lives among books. Library cats greet people in about 100 libraries across America. Most live and “work” in comfortable, small town libraries where they don’t get lost in the books. Library cats used to earn their keep by catching rats, but modern library cats have more “white-collar” duties: to act charming and make the library a pleasant homey place.

“Library cats just create a nice, warm atmosphere,” says Roma, producer of Puss in Books, the film about library cats. “The cats attract children to the library and the elderly who maybe can’t have pets in their apartments,” Roma says. “Books, libraries, and cats just go together.”

【1】A contest was held after the cat’s rescue to ________ the cat.

A．win

B．name

C．film

D．feed

【2】We probably won’t be able to see the picture of Garfield in ________.

A．a Japanese film

B．the calendars

C．the card catalogs

D．the local newspaper

【3】People keep cats in the libraries because ________.

A．cats don’t like big places

B．cats can create a nice and warm atmosphere

C．there are more rats there

D．librarians are more friendly

【4】Library cats can do many things including ________

1) arranging card catalogs     2) greeting people

3) acting for a film        4) catching rats

5) making people feel at home

A．2;4;5

B．1;3

C．1;4;5

D．2;3;5

【5】From the passage we can infer (推断) that ________.

A．library cats only attract children and old people

B．Garfield is one of the cats who live among books

C．library cats are not as popular as they used to be

D．every library in America has at least one cat

24、A smart diet, a healthy life

No matter how old your kids are, you can take steps to improve a healthy diet and to encourage good eating habits.

Tip One: Family Meals

Family meals are nice for both parents and kids. Children like to guess what they are going to have and parents get the chance to introduce new foods to children. Parents can also use the mealtime as a chance to talk with their kids about their life.

Tip Two: Healthy Snacks

Kids, especially younger ones, will eat mostly what can get at home. That’s why it’s important to have enough healthy snacks, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, yogurt and whole-grain biscuits.

The best way for you to encourage healthy eating is to eat well yourself. Kids will follow the lead of the adults they see every day. By eating fruits and vegetables and avoiding fast food and sweet drinks, you are sending the right message.
