21、"Tom? Are you in bed yet?" called Mrs. White. There was no answer. Mrs. White put down her book and went to her 14-year-old son's room. Tom was sitting in front of a bright computer screen on which a motorbike was running fast.

  "Oh, Tom. You're still playing on that computer game. You must stop now, because it's half past eleven. If you don't go to bed soon, you'll be very tired tomorrow." said Mrs. White.

  "But I've nearly won the game." Tom said to Mrs. White. She could see the excitement on his face. She sat down beside him.

  "You're always playing on the computer. You spend more time on this machine than on your homework."

  Today more and more families have computers. Parents hope computers can help their children improve their study at school. But many of their children use computers to play games and watch videos instead of studying. We often see that computer net bars are crowded with people, especially young boys. They spend a lot of money competing (竞争) with the computerized (用计算机控制的) machines. The more they lose, the more they want to win. The result is that they don't want to work or study.

  In some countries, even scientists hate computers. They say computers cause millions of people to lose their jobs or cause them a lot of trouble. Computer game addiction (瘾) is a serious problem in social (社会的) life. Something should have to be done to solve the problem.

22、   Everyone has worries. How do you deal with your worries? There is always something you can do to help yourself feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won’t solve your problems.

Grades at school are often a top worry for children. If you worry most about grades, ask yourself these questions:

Why are grades important? What do grades mean to me?

How do I get ready for class? Do I go over my notes even when there isn't a test?

Do I have a good place to do my homework?

Have I tried different ways of studying?

If your worry is about a fight you had with your friend, you might write down all the things you could do --- write a note to him or her, invite him or her to watch a basketball game, say sorry to him or her and so on. Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose one thing that could get your friend back.

You can ask for help when you're worried. You can find someone to talk to, such as your parents, friends, and teachers.

23、When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. One of my father’s friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.

Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place. We’ d sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal.

Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we’d bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest.

Bernie was my father’s idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie’s wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.

What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don’t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.

For many years, I forgot that lesson I’d learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.

Well, I’ve relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That’s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.

A．was just a rich businessman

A．the best part of the watermelon

24、Do you still remember Aron Ralston, who lost his right arm but still likes taking dangerous sports like mountain climbing? In fact, he is just one of the “extreme sports” fans.

25、综合填空

Whose job is it to check your homework?

I don’t think it’s my parents’ job to check my homework. Since we have already grown up, we cannot act like little 【1】 (baby) and depend on our parents all the time. We must learn to be 【2】 (independence).

I remember when I was in Grade Three, my parents 【3】 (ask) me to check my homework by myself. I didn’t know what to do at that time, so I only cried. But after that, I got used to 【4】 (check) my own homework in my studies.

Checking homework by ourselves is 【5】 good habit. It can help us find mistakes in exams more 【6】 (easy), it can also save the teachers a lot of time 【7】 they check our homework, and it can also let our parents worry 【8】 (little) about our studies.

Some day in the future, Mom and Dad 【9】 (leave) us. So we should start to learn to do everything by 【10】 (we) and really understand how important independence is.
