21、My grandfather is eighty years old. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.
Families aren’t what they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If the husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now everyone is busy working. No one has time to look after children at home.
And the cars! No one walks anymore; more and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on schooldays, even in winter. But now students don’t. And in school, children don’t have to think anymore. In maths class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide (加减乘除) by using our heads. But now kids don’t use their heads anymore; instead, they use calculators (计算器).
Most families have computers and there are lights at home now. In the past we didn’t have computers. We didn’t even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don’t often eat home-cooked food.
And people talk less to each other than before. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think...
Life used to be simple, but it isn’t simple anymore.
【1】What does my grandfather think of the life now?

23、Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sadness, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process.
Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to deal with kinds of situations.
Love plays an important role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us unconditional love and care. They teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted(认为理所应当). It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others’ feelings.
Happiness achieved by bringing a smile on other’s face gives a certain level of fulfillment(成就). Peace of mind makes you feel happy. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are sad. Sadness comes from the death of a loved one or the failure. But all of these things will pass away.
Failure is the way to success, and it helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect.
Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, and it could either be bright or dull. So what we can choose is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.

24、
Dear Mike, I like to think that I am a helpful girl. I often help my classmates with their study. But lately the students in my class have been hiding their notes from each other. They seem to be afraid that others are better than them. Shouldn’t we be helping each other? I feel like I am in a fog. What should I do? Madeline |
Dear Madeline, You’re right — everyone should be helping each other instead of being so competitive. But that’s the world we live in these days. Many people think they have to “beat” everyone else. Some people around you will judge you on everything — from the grades you get in school to the clothes you wear. So what do you do about this? Just try to be different. Be the one who stands up and says that people should help each other instead of competing all the time. Try to be helpful and kind to other people. It may seem impossible sometimes, but your behavior will start to influence others. You can be the one who changes the way people treat each other. And even if some of those people still don’t change, you at least know that you tried your best to change things. Mike |
【1】Madeline often ________ in class.
A.helps the classmates
B.gives out the paper
C.makes up some stories
D.judges the classmates
【2】Mike advises Madeline ________.
A.to beat others
B.to work hard
C.to try to be helpful and kind
D.to try her best to change things
