24、Do you laugh every day? Most people do. Scientists say that people laugh about 17 times a day. That is a lot of laughter.

In India, there are hundreds of laughter clubs. The people in these clubs get together every morning. First, they stretch their hands above their heads. Then, they pretend (假装) to laugh. Soon everyone is laughing naturally. People say that they feel good after laughing together.

Scientists believe that laughter is good for us. Why? For one thing, laughter is good exercise. When you laugh, you exercise muscles (肌肉) in your body. Scientists say that one hundred laughs equal ten minutes of running. When you laugh, you also breathe deeply. This helps you relax. That is good for you, too.

Why do we laugh? That is a hard question to answer. We know that people laugh more often in a group. They don’t laugh very often when they are alone. Many scientists believed that we use laughter to connect to other people. Laughter helps us feel part of a group.

In England, people say that laughter is the best medicine. Some think that laughter helps sick people get well. Do you think so, too?

25、Social customs and ways of behaving change all the time. Things that were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered to be impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in the room.

Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn’t matter? What about table manners?

The Americans and British people not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England, people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seats to women, and so will most Americans. Promptness（准时） is important both in England and in America. That is, the dinner guest either arrive close to the time that has been made or calls up to explain his delay（耽误）.

The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable—especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a very formal dinner party. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or greatly surprised, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.

A. make himself strong

B. make himself rich

C. make himself comfortable

D. cause himself to seem like a fool

A. don’t speak the same language

B. don’t have social customs in common

C. do share a lot of social customs

D. do have the exactly same social customs

A. nearly or a minute later than

B. a quarter past

C. a quarter to

D. much later than

【4】The last example in the passage shows   .

A. the correct way to use a knife at table

B. that it is good manners not to make your guest feel foolish or uncomfortable

C. that social customs and ways of behaving change too fast

D. that different counties have different customs

【5】The best title of the passage is .

A. Different Customs

B. Social Customs

C. Customs are Changing Fast

D. Different Countries, Different Customs

26、It’s not easy to find a person with the qualities（品格）it takes to be a hero. I didn’t really understand the meaning of the word “hero” until my third year in the college.

If you saw her, you wouldn’t think she really looks the part, but she is stronger than Superman could ever be. Her name is Sandra Keierleber. I first met her at volleyball tryouts（选拔赛）, but didn’t notice anything special at first. As the week passed, however, she showed she had more heart than anyone. She stood out because she never gave up, no matter what.

Sandra isn’t the tallest or the fastest－in fact, this was her first time playing volleyball and it showed－but that didn’t stop her. She was always the first to arrive and the last to leave. By the end of tryouts she had found a place in everyone’s heart. When the name list for new members was put up, we all waited nervously as she checked. When she stood at the door and smiled happily, all we could do was cheer.

After Sandra made the team, she worked even harder to improve her game. When she asked for help, we gladly taught her. She also became our fan, attending almost every school game and even joining us in the city games. We all like her, because she never thinks about doing things the easy way, or losing that smile. Because of her great efforts, she makes herself a true hero－and my hero, too.

27、Do you know 5G? It is the fifth generation (代) of mobile network technology. These new networks are coming.

China just issued commercial licenses (发放商用牌照) for 5G on June 6. This means that China's telecom companies were soon able to offer 5G networks for mobile phone users.

Each mobile network generation is faster and more powerful than the one before it. 1G let us talk to each other. 2G let us send messages. 3G gave us data and the Internet. And 4G made all of these things faster. What's special about 5G?

5G has a very short delay between sending and receiving information. Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds (毫秒) to send and receive data. But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond or less—this is almost real-time.

This big change will not only make our mobile Internet faster, but also deeply change our lives. Read on to find out how.

5G+entertainment (娱乐)

5G networks are about 100 times faster than 4G. This means you can download a movie in seconds using 5G.

Also, virtual reality (VR) games will become more popular with 5G. The short delay of 5G will make the games feel even more real.

5G+transportation

5G will also bring us safer self-driving cars. These cars can send signals (信号)to each other. They also talk to traffic lights and road sensors (传感器). 5G will allow cars to react even faster than human drivers.

5G+smart homes

5G also makes the Internet of things possible. Internet of things is a large network that connects everything to the Internet. Smart homes are part of it.

For example, your toaster can automatically (自动地)start making breakfast after your alarm rings. And if its sensor feels the air becoming dry, a smart sprinkler could water your plants by itself.

【1】What happened on the sixth day of June according to the passage?

A．5G came into use

B．China issued commercial licenses.

C．Mobile phone uses could talk to each other

D．5G delayed between sending and receiving information

【2】What does the underlined word "delay" in Paragraph 4 probably mean in Chinese?.

A．延时

B．暂停

C．断开

D．卡顿

【3】5G will change people's lives in many ways EXCEPT _________.

A．entertainment

B．transportation

C．smart homes

D．health

【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．We can download a movie faster with 5G.

B．Human drivers can send signals at traffic lights.

C．The plants can water themselves by a smart sprinkler with 5G.

D．5G is faster and more powerful than 4G.

【5】What's the main idea of the passage?

A．Mobile phone users can use 5G networks.

B．Each mobile network generation has their own advantages.

C．5G will change our lives in many ways.

D．5G will bring us safer self-driving cars.

29、   My tae known do (跆拳道) instructor stood in front of me, with the board in his hands. “Just tell me when you are ready.” he said.

I had to break it. That ___________ was ringing around inside my head. Break it!

I stepped back for a ___________. I got in a good stance (姿势), and then spun (旋转) around backwards, doing a complete turn, and brought my heel (脚后跟) up on the edge of the board.
