24、No charge for love

A farmer had some puppies to sell. He nailed (用钉子) a sign above his door. As he was driving the last nail into the door, he felt a gentle pull at his left trouser leg. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy.

“Sit,” the boy said. “I want to buy one of your puppies.”

“Well,” said the farmer, “these puppies come from fine parents and cost a great deal of money.”

The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then he pulled out a handful of coins from his pocket and said, “I’ve got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?”

The farmer smiled and whistled. Out of the doghouse came Little Dolly, who ran down the ramp (坡道) followed by four other little balls of fur. One puppy was lagging very much behind the others. “I want that one,” the little boy said, pointing at the limping (瘸着腿走) puppy.

The farmer knelt down beside the boy and said, “No, you don’t want that puppy. He will never be able to run or play with you like the other puppies.” To his surprise, the little boy reached down and rolled up his right trouser leg to show a metal brace (支架). Looking up at the farmer, he said, “You see, sir, I don’t run so well myself, and the little puppy will need someone who understands.”

With tears in his eyes, the farmer picked up the little puppy and handed it to the little boy.

“How much do I have to pay?” asked the boy.

“Just take it,” answered the farmer. “There’s no charge for love.”

26、Like many people, I have no clear idea about heroes. At some point, we all wonder if we need a hero and what a hero really is.

Although there are a lot of differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics(特点) which give us courage and make us want to learn from them.

A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a special story to tell and people think highly of it. But a hero is not just the person with great fame(声誉).

A hero has powers(力量) larger than himself. Some people want to live like a hero, and they have to experience life with new and further meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom they serve. What do they want to live and die for? If the answer suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes.

A hero has a vision from the mountaintop. He has the power to move people. He creates new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of Britain. Without Martin Luther King, Jr., Americans might take different buses, eat in different restaurants, go for walks in different parks, and shop in different stores because of the different colours of their skin.

There might be changes in society without a hero, but the speed of change would be rather slow. Thanks to heroes in history, they make the society develop so rapidly.

【1】According to this passage, a hero is a person who always ________.

A．gives us courage

B．thinks highly of others

C．shares great fame

D．stands on the mountaintop

【2】If you want to live like a hero, you should ________.

A．experience a new and meaningful life

B．listen to something worth talking about

C．serve your own fame and try to be famous

D．know where and how you want to live and die

【3】The underlined word “vision” in the passage means “________”.

A．风景

B．想象

C．远见

D．形象

【4】Black people in America used to ________ before Martin Luther King, Jr.

A．shop at the white’s stores

B．drive buses with the white

C．take walks in the white’s parks

D．eat in restaurants without the white

【5】What can we learn from the passage?

A．We don’t need heroes anymore at some point now.

B．Heroes are all the same though different in cultures.

C．People get power from heroes to move to a new place.

D．Our society has developed faster because of heroes in history.

27、   You Are What You Eat

Genetic (基因的) engineering is the scientific change of the genetic material in a living thing. It allows scientists to identify specific genes, to remove them from a living thing’s chromosomes(染色体), improve them, analyze them, and possibly clone them, and to then reinsert the changed gene into the original living thing, or a completely different living things. Unlike traditional breeding (繁殖), where a desired quality would be bred within the same kind of living things, genetic engineering can insert desired ones into living things of different kinds. Wow ... did you catch that?

Genetic engineering creates many positive contributions to agriculture. For example, by genetically engineered (GE) foods, anti-cancer agents, minerals and vitamins can be increased. Improved taste, shelf life, and better transport are all possible. Also, GE plants can increase pest and bacterial resistance（抵抗力）, therefore, making the food safe for the consumers.

But some argue that the possible negative effects outweigh the positives, and critics are starting to voice their worries. Unlike Europe, in the United States labeling（贴标签）is not required on genetically engineered foods or on foods that contain genetically engineered products. Most Americans do not realize that they are, in fact, eating GE foods.

The public is also concerned about the unknown health risks. With limited understanding of genes, scientists cannot predict possible effects. Because most genes introduced into GE plants come from sources not introduced into the human body, it is impossible to know if they will cause reactions. Moreover, due to the lack of labeling, if allergies（过敏）develop, it will be extremely difficult to find the origin of them.

There is also a major moral question in many minds. For many, the conflict is not if it is safe or not, but it disturbs them because it is unnatural and unnecessary. We are currently producing one and a half times the amount of food needed to feed the world, yet one in seven people are starving. So GE food is unnecessary, and fails to address the root of hunger. Many believe that the only people who will benefit are the corporations that produce it. 

Scientists cannot foresee the possible effects of GE foods, yet we eat them every day without even knowing it. We already have enough food, so why create more that could be potentially harmful to us, to the Earth and to all wildlife? I think that the benefits are amazing, but until we know for sure how these foods will affect us, they are not worth the risk.

【1】According to the passage, traditional breeding is different from genetic engineering because________.

A.traditional breeding changes the genes in the same kind of living things

B.traditional breeding takes place within the same kind of living things

C.traditional breeding is more scientific

D.traditional breeding changes the genes in different kinds of living things

【2】According to Paragraph 5, GE food is unnecessary because ________.

A.customers will benefit from GE food

B.we’re now producing more food than before

C.it won’t help solve the problem of hunger in the world

D.there are obvious dangers in producing GE food

【3】What is the writer’s writing purpose?

A.To introduce genetic engineering’s positive contributions to agriculture.

B.To welcome genetic engineering and GE food.

C.To discuss the differences between GE food and other food.

D.To tell people to keep GE food off before their influence on us is clear.

Adam Braun set up the organization Pencils of Promise in 2008. Its purpose is to make sure all children have a c【1】to study better. In 2014, the organization b【2】a new school somewhere every 90 hours. It has helped more than 22,000 children in Africa and Asia.

It started when Adam Braun studied in a college. He was visiting India when a boy stopped him and a【3】for money on the street. Mr. Braun asked the boy w【4】 he would want, if he could have anything in the world.

Adam Braun started working in finance (金融) after he graduated from college, but he n【7】 forgot the boy and the problem he realized.

“We live in a world in which every child can have a chance to get a good education, because we have everything necessary already. We are a【8】 to educate every child. So I promised to help create that world,” Braun said.

Mr. Braun has r【9】 money for his project. He paid for building the first Pencils of Promise School in Laos five years ago. S【10】 then, his organization has helped pay for more than 200 schools in the countryside of Laos and Ghana.
