21、   The stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell.

Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.

There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it was like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked , their power to destroy is set free.”

There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share, and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.

Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.

Honesty and openness is important. It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.

Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.

【1】What’s the function of the example in Paragraph 2?

A.It reflects that people are concerned about the spread of Ebola.

B.It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.

C.It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.

D.It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.

【2】One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that _______.

A.people sometimes have no courage to share their stories

B.story-sharing highlights the importance of hard work

C.people are used to exposing their weaknesses

D.some stories make people feel sad

【3】Which is close in meaning to the underlined word “uncorked” in Paragraph 3?

A.unfolded B.freed C.broken D.untouched

【4】The writer aims to convince us to _______.

A.realize the importance of being honest when making friends

B.be open to people close to you by sharing some secrets

C.remove the dangers that can be caused by untold stories

D.share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselves

23、   The celebration of Earth Day on April 22nd began in the United States in 1970. Earth Day is a perfect time to reflect about what you are doing to help protect the environment. There are many ways that you can celebrate alone and with others.

Reduce, reuse and recycle all day long

Buy as little as possible and avoid items that come in lots of packaging. Support local growers and producers of food and products—these don't have to travel as far and so reduce greenhouse gas emissions.【1】. Recycle all the things you do use for the day.

Rid litter

Many groups use the weekend of Earth Day to clear roadways, highways and neighborhood streets.【2】. And villages organize bag pick ups. Once the group has collected the trash and placed the recycled bags along the road, get the village public works department to pick the bags up.

【3】.

There are many Earth Day song lyrics available on the Internet. Many follow well-known tunes. These make a fantastic classroom activity and help younger children to become interested in environmental topics.

Engage others in conversation about your environment concerns

Don't be bossy or pushy.【4】. Encourage them to respond and if they have no opinions or they seem to not know much, help them learn some more by imparting your environmental knowledge in a friendly and helpful manner.

Remember: Every day is Earth Day

Anything to help our environment is a perfect thing to do on Earth Day and every day.【5】; learn about how you can make a difference to environmental protection all the time. And put it into practice--every day!

A．Join in group work.

B．Try to save money and water.

C．Sing or listen to "Earth" songs.

D．Take your drink container with you.

E．Don't restrict yourself to just one day a year.

F．Many companies donate gloves and bag for clean-up groups.

24、Why does our body require warm covers but not our face when it’s cold? The following are the reasons.

Firstly, don’t forget that your head does have some insulation (隔热). 【1】

Secondly, the air temperature near your head won’t be as cold as the room, because the microclimate around your head will be warmed by heat lost from your head and by your exhaled (呼出) breath. 【2】

Then there is physiology. Your sensation of thermal (热的) comfort is primarily driven by skin temperature. This depends on blood flow to the skin. In a cool environment, the hands and feet reduce their blood flow to very low levels. 【3】 So, as the temperature of the rest of the skin falls, that of the head remains higher. This is why you can lose plenty of heat via your head in the cold and should wear a hat.

There are also differences in the impact of different body regions on the overall sensation of cold and thermal comfort. The temperature of the hands and feet dominate your overall perception of how cold you are. 【4】 In a cooling environment, the temperature of the lower back and chest determines the loss of thermal comfort, and during mild exposure to cold, local warming of the chest, rather than the face, produces a strong sensation of comfort.

【5】 So, it is a good idea to keep the body warm in bed, then you can leave the head above the covers. Your nose may get cold, but it won’t stop you sleeping, and it is good to breathe fresh air!

A．Remember to put a hat on.

B．It often has hair and is insulated by it.

C．The latter is warmed in the lungs to about 33℃.

D．There is nothing worse than going out in the cold with wet hair.

E．This is why you can’t fall asleep until your feet warm up in bed.

F．In contrast, the blood flow to the head doesn’t decrease as much.

G．Also, remember that the face is adapted to exposing to the elements.
