21、

One of the world’s most dangerous sports is mountain climbing, and one of the most popular places for this is the Himalayas. The Himalayas run along the southwestern part of China. And at 8,844.43 meters high, Mount Qomolangma is the tallest mountain of the Himalayas as well as on the Earth. While it is famous for its beautiful views, parts of the mountain are facing a problem: rubbish. Every year, visitors and climbers throw away tons of rubbish, such as bottles and plastic bags.

According to the UN, over 140 tons of rubbish has been left on the mountain. To reduce rubbish, China is limiting (限制) the number of people who are allowed to climb up the north side of the mountain. Only 300 people will be allowed to climb it, and only during spring.

People cleaned the mountain last year, removing rubbish at a height of 5,200 meters. They collected about 8.4 metric tons (公吨) of rubbish.

This year, the local government plans to spend 4 million yuan on a new clean-up activity. The local government is also setting up stations to sort (分类), recycle and break down rubbish collected from the mountain. A group of artists will also try to turn the rubbish into art works. They will show these works of art to remind people not to leave rubbish when climbing the mountain.

22、   Tammy’s body was shaking! Today was her first trip to the dentist. She didn’t know what to expect.

The dentist was a kind, old man. He smiled and Tammy sat in a special chair. There were lots of lights and tools (工具). It didn’t make her comfortable when she opened her mouth. He looked really closely. He cleaned her teeth carefully and then took pictures of her teeth. Then she was done.

Live Pigeon Shooting (1900)

Seven riders got on their bikes at 5 a.m. and rode until 5 p.m. Four riders dropped out before noon, but the winner, Adolf Schmal of Austria, managed about 180 miles. Only Schmal and one other finished.

Tug of War (1900—1920)

This may seem like a basic PE class sport more than an Olympic event, but Tug of War was actually one of the first sports played at the Olympic games in 500 BC.

There are two teams of eight; the winning team must pull the other team six feet forward.

Swimming Obstacle Race (1900)

The athletes had to climb over a pole (杆子) and a row of boats, and then swim under another row of boats. All of this was done in the Seine River, so they also had to fight against the water. This event was only ever held in 1900, in Paris.

25、Over the past 20 years, the Internet has greatly influenced our world and changed our lives. The Internet makes it much e【1】 for people to search for information. For example, when we write a history report, we don’t have to go to the library. We can find information about world leaders and historical events on different websites. Everything we want to know can be found at the click of a button.

The Internet helps us to stay connected to family, friends and the world around us. Not long ago, we wrote letters by h【2】 and waited weeks for a reply. Today, when we use QQ, we send and receive messages across thousands of miles in a few seconds.

The Internet gives us a way to express our opinions in p【3】. We share interesting ideas with other people on QQ, Baidu Tieba, blogs or forums(论坛). If we dislike the food at school, we can discuss it in the school’s forum or in the Tieba of our own class.

A【4】 the Internet has made our world better in many ways, in some ways it can be a bad influence. There is a lot of false information on the Internet. It is important not to believe a【5】 we read on the Internet.

In addition, many teenagers choose to keep in touch with each other online instead of meeting face-to-face. People w【6】 that this harms their social communication skills.

Some teenagers spend too much time playing Internet games. They may lose focus on their studies.       

There are millions of interesting sites to visit and so many wonderful things to do online. How could we live without the Internet nowadays? But remember to use the Internet properly and wisely. Try to let the Internet be your good s【7】, not your bad master!
