Do you dream of owning a house? It’s maybe not a big deal for many of us right now, 【1】 it is important for Esperanza, the main character of The House on Mango Street.

In the book, US 【2】 Sandra Cisneros wrote stories about things that happened to Esperanza on Mango Street. She 【3】 a hard life as a woman. She saw how 【4】 her friends were after marrying men, because they didn’t have any rights in society. She saw 【5】 people didn’t believe in each other.

Esperanza didn’t want 【6】 one of those people. She wanted to be strong and free. She hoped to make her dream 【7】 true. In order to run away from this endless “prison”, Esperanza and her family tried to get a house of their 【8】.

21、   The children at the top of the class succeed by knowing a few basic skills that others can easily learn. According to the education experts and students themselves, here are the secrets of top students.

Study is the first thing. Once the books are open or the computer is on, phone calls are unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks unnoticed. Study is business; business comes before everything.

Study anywhere or everywhere. Study times are different for different children. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others wake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school. However, all agree that consistency (持之以恒) is needed.

Get organized. Don’t waste time looking for a pencil or missing paper. Keep everything right where one can put one’s hands on it. Even for a student who doesn’t keep his own study area organized, a bag or a drawer (抽屉) is needed to put things in to save time.

Learn how to read. The secret of good reading is to be an active (主动的) reader—one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the writer’s message.

Use your time best. Even the best students put off their work sometimes. But when that happens, they face it. “If you want to be at the top, make sure to finish the work on time.” says Christi Anderson, a top student at Lyman High School.

Take good notes and use them. Reading the text is important, but the teacher is going to test you on what he or she emphasized (强调). That’s what you find in your notes.

Another kind of important “secret” of the top students is not so secret at all. For almost all of them, their parents’ help is important.

【1】According to the third paragraph (段落), as students, we should all   .

A. study late into night B. study in the early morning

C. study as soon as we get home D. study in our favorite time with consistency

【2】The fourth paragraph mainly tells us   to save time for study.

A. to look for our stationery B. to keep everything in hand

C. to get everything organized D. to organize ourselves into groups

【3】Which of the following is true about an active reader?

A. Take good notes. B. Ask questions continually.

C. Study everywhere. D. Arrange time well.

【4】According to the writer, the real secret in becoming a top student lies in   .

A. the good teachers B. the good education experts

C. some basic learning skills D. the parents’ help

22、People know the danger of fires. It’s good for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. Here are some suggestions：

Put a smoke alarm in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.

Make escape (逃脱) plans. They should know all the ways of getting out of the house. If there is a fire，everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.

Buy fire extinguishers (灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them.

Practice for a fire. They do fire practice because they teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules：

※Don’t open a hot door！The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.

※Stay close to the floor！Smoke can be more dangerous than fire；the best air is near the floor because smoke rises.

※What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First，stop！Don’t run！The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop！Fall to the floor. Then roll！Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket (毯子) around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you.

There are many possible causes for fires. A wise family is ready all the time. If there is a fire，don’t forget to call 119 for help.

23、   All the planets in the solar system go around the sun. There are eight planets in the solar system. Years ago, there were nine planets. Ever since Pluto (冥王星) was demoted (使降级), we’ve had just eight planets.

Some scientists have studied the farthest reaches（研究）of our solar system. They believe there might be another planet out there. They call it Planet Nine. What would Planet Nine be like? Scientists believe it could be about three times larger and ten times heavier than the earth.

If Planet Nine is out there, why haven’t we found it yet? Scientists are still reaching for it because it’s so far away. They believe it could take Planet Nine as long as 20,000 years to go around the Sun. Scientists also think Planet Nine could be as much as 10,000 times darker than Pluto.

24、Long long ago, there was a kind lady. Every day, she baked bread for her family and an extra loaf for any hungry passer-by. She placed the extra bread beside a window. When the woman placed the bread, she always gave a prayer for her son. Her son had gone to a faraway place and she hadn’t heard from his for a very long time.

Every day, a tramp came and took away the bread. He said when he was leaving, “The evil you do remains with you. The good you do comes back to you.”

The woman felt irritated. “Not even a word of thanks”, she said to herself with unhappiness.

This went on, day by day.

Finally, the woman became so angry that she decided to get rid of the tramp. She added poison to the bread she was going to offer to the tramp! When she was placing it, her hands shook. “Look at what I’ve done!” she immediately threw the bread into fire and made another one.

As usual, the tramp came and pick up the bread. “The evil you do remains with you. The good you do comes back to you,” he said again and left.

That evening, there was a knock on the door. Surprisingly, the women’s son was standing in the doorway. He was tired and weak. “Mum, it’s a miracle that I can come back home! While I was only a mile away, I was so hungry that I almost gave up. But just then an old tramp gave me a loaf of bread. He said that the bread was his food everyday. But today, I should get the bread, for I needed the bread much more than he did!”
