21、A long time ago, there was an emperor. He had a beautiful garden. In the garden, there was a little nightingale（夜莺）singing very beautifully.

One day the emperor heard about this little bird’s beautiful voice. He asked his guards to bring her to him. As soon as the emperor heard the nightingale’s voice, he said, “Put her in a golden cage, so she can stay and sing to me whenever I want to hear her.”

The little bird was so unhappy about being kept in the cage that she stopped singing one day. The emperor was very angry. He ordered the scientists in his palace to make a robot bird for him. The bird could sing very beautifully, too. The emperor was pleased.

Soon the robot bird became old. It no longer sang beautiful songs. Just at that time, the emperor became very weak. One morning, while lying in bed, the emperor wanted it to sing once again.

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.

24、There was a 365-year-old oak tree by the sea. For it, each year was just like a day, because it only slept in winter. One summer afternoon, some mayflies（蜉蝣）were flying happily around it. Then the oak tree talked to one of them, “You must be so sad. Your whole life lasts just one day.” “Not at all,” the mayfly replied. “Things around me are so bright, warm and beautiful. They make me happy.” “But only for one day,” the oak tree said. Hearing that, the mayfly said, “You may have thousands of days, but I have thousands of moments. In my opinion, we have the same time to live.” Then it flew away.

Soon, winter came, and the oak tree went to sleep. Around Christmas, it had a dream. In the dream, the oak tree was with all things it loved, both small and great. As it grew bigger and taller into the sky, it felt that its roots（根）were free. It was a wonderful feeling. The oak tree felt like it was in heaven（天堂）.

However, something else was happening in the real world. There was a terrible storm. The strong wind blew the oak tree over and pulled its roots out of the ground. The oak tree died, but at least it was happy.

25、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一次，首字母已给）

Have you ever experienced the feeling of falling as you start to fall asleep? Sometimes you may wake up to this feeling. If so, don’t worry. Many people have felt the same thing.

In fact, these muscle twitches（肌肉抽搐）in the arms, legs or other parts of the body are called hypnic jerks（入嚼抽动）or sleep starts. And they are very c【1】 . Up to 70 percent of people experience them sometimes, Huffington Post reported. But what causes it?

There are some theories（理念）. Some scientists believe that the feeling of falling comes from the body relaxing itself, especially if the person is anxious or unable to get comfortable. A【2】 you’re going to sleep, your muscles become relaxed. But your brain s【3】 awake. It misunderstands the relaxing of your muscles as a sign that you’re falling. The brain then jerks the body awake as if it’s trying to protect you.

Other scientists believe that different phases of sleep might cause the hypnic jerks. When we sleep, we experience two phases non-rapid eye movement (NREM,非快速眼动睡眠期) and rapid eye movement (REM,快速眼动睡眠期). During REM, our heart rate, breathing and nervous s【4】 can fact irregularly. If the body experiences flashes（一瞬间）of REM while entering sleep, these irregularities could cause twitches.

If you don’t want to experience hypnic jerks, scientists have some suggestions. When you become r【5】 relaxed, you can learn how to reconnect slowly by moving your fingers and toes a little bit. Then start to move your head and open your eyes, while being aware of yourself as you get out of the relaxed state.

But experts agree that hypnic jerks, though sometimes scary, are homeless. If it wakes you up, simply roll over and go back to sleep,. But keep in mind: a caffeinated（含咖啡因的） drink, e【6】 evening activities or stress may make hypnic jerks happen more often.
