24、The day before yesterday, when Peter’s families were having dinner, Father raised an interesting question, “Was there anything in our past that we feel ashamed(羞愧的) of, guilty about, or regretted? Maybe we can find ways to say sorry, or take some action to right any wrongdoing.” This seemed like a very private matter, but Peter thought about it carefully the whole night.
Peter remembered a small thing from middle school. In his school, there was a worker, Neil Stone, who none of the kids liked. One night, Peter and two of his classmates decided to play a trick on him. They found a can of red paint, and wrote on the school main road in bright red: Neil Stone is a fool! The next day, the whole school saw these words. Within two hours, Neil had Peter and his two classmates in his office. His classmates said that they had done it but Peter lied, denying the truth. No one ever talked about it.
This morning, Peter went back to his middle school. Neil Stone is still working there. “Sorry, Neil. Do you still remember what happened ten years ago? I want you to know that I did it.” “I knew it!’ Neil laughed. They had a good laugh and a lively discussion. Neil’s closing words were: “Peter, I always felt bad for you because your classmates got it off their mind, and I knew you were carrying it around all these years. I want to thank you for visiting me… for your sake.”
Peter knows that no matter how difficult the situation is, it is never too late to clear up the past and make a fresh start.
【1】What did Peter remember doing in middle school?
A. Something fantastic.
B. Something unpleasant.
C. Something valuable.
D. Something useful.
【2】What colour were the words “Neil Stone is a fool!”?
A. Dark blue. B. Light green.
C. Pure white. D. Bright red.
【3】What does the underlined word “denying” mean?
A. 夸大 B. 赞同 C. 否认 D. 承认
【4】What is the best title for this passage?
A. Peter’s story.
B. An unforgettable lesson.
C. It’s never too late.
D. Every dog has its day.
25、 Have you ever gone to a fast-food restaurant to eat and gotten a kid's meal that came with a toy? Sometimes those meals have different toys for boys and girls —maybe a truck for the boys and a toy bear for the girls. Who decides that boys like to play with trucks and girls like to play with stuffed animals? I know many boys who like stuffed animals and lots of girls who play with trucks. When we decide what someone will like or how they will act just because they are boys or girls, we are stereotyping(形成模式化观念).
A stereotype is a group that we put people into. Our human brains do this all the time; it's one of the ways that our brain has learned to deal with the world. We see someone and put that person into a group—for example, the old or the young, a boy or a girl. Is that a bad thing? No, it's not.
One advantage of a stereotype is that it enables us to deal with situations rapidly because we may have had a similar experience before. The use of stereotypes is a major way in which we simplify our social world; since they cut down the amount of processing(i.e. thinking)we have to do when we meet a new person.
Although grouping itself isn't bad, it can be harmful sometimes. It makes us ignore differences between each single person, that is, we usually think all the people in one group are the same but that might not be true.
When we stereotype, we think of a group and give everyone in that group certain characteristics. For example, the fast food restaurant believed that all boys like to play with vehicles and all girls prefer toy animals. They did that based only on whether they were boys or girls.
Stereotypes are problems when beliefs that people have about groups are not necessarily true. Have you ever heard anyone say that "Men are better drivers than women"? Statements like this take a group of people and give all of them the same behaviors or characteristics. I know men who are good drivers, and I know women who are good drivers. It's not fair to judge all people in a group by a stereotype. We need to remember that everyone in the group is an individual who has different abilities, interests, strengths and behaviors.
【1】The example of different toys for boys and girls is mentioned to show that_________.
A.boys and girls prefer different toys
B.boys and girls are treated unfairly
C.people sometimes mix children's likes
D.people have fixed ideas on things
【2】Which of the following stereotypes is useful?
A.Making friends by his appearance.
B.Boys do better in science than girls.
C.Youth easily do unreasonable things.
D.Red signs on the road warn us of danger.
【3】The underlined word “ignore” in Paragraph 4 probably means _________.
A.fail to notice B.fail to trust C.fail to search D.fail to face
【4】What does the writer want to tell us about stereotyping?
A.Stereotyping is like a coin which has two sides.
B.It helps our brain learn to deal with similar situations.
C.Judging people by stereotyping them makes things hard.
D.Trying to learn about and form some kinds of them stereotypes.

28、根据下面短文内容,在短文的空格中填上一个恰当的词,使短文完整,通顺。
Have you noticed that the phrase “You’re welcome” has largely been taken place by two new words — “No problem.”?
Here is an example:
Shop assistant, “Here’s your change, Madam.” Me, “Thank you.” Shop assistant, “No problem.”
But to me, “No problem” is a 【1】. I want to be thanked for going to a shop. I don’t want this automatic (机械的) reply. “You are welcome” means “You are welcome to shop here; thanks for 【2】 us to help you.” When I hear “no problem”, what I think is: “You’re not helping me. I’ll go somewhere else next time.”
There are some 【3】 annoying phrases, of course. But this one especially seems to just push people to one side. It seems to say, “I’ve taken care of you, so now leave me alone.” It seems that 【4】 the shop assistant wants to say is that you are actually not “welcome”.
It’s part of a whole, lazy culture. People don’t notice each other. People can’t be bothered (打搅). People sit 【5】 in cafes, but they don’t talk. They just look at their mobile phones. If you ask one of these people to move their chair a little 【6】 you can sit down, they reply, “No problem.” I don’t feel that means “You’re welcome to 【7】 the table.” I feel it means “No problem that you only bothered me a bit.”
Lots of people think this phrase is mainly used by younger people, just 【8】 another word “whatever”. But actually, “no problem” crosses generations (一代人). It’s taken hold in a way that fits no single group of people. There is “no problem” wherever you go. Next time you’re about to say those two words, stop for a minute. Make eye contact, and say with a smile: “You’re welcome.”
Be a bit more polite? No problem.
