21、   My name is Jack. I’m a Chinese student living in the United States. When my family moved to America in 2016 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our bags, but also our village rules and culture. One of the rules is that young people should respect(尊敬) the elderly. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment(窘迫) in the United States.

I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. At one time, when I was serving food to an old couple(夫妇), the wife asked me how I could serve the food so quickly. I told her that I tried to get their food quickly because I respected the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and told me about how sensitive Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and said sorry to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that cultural differences caused the problem, so they laughed and were no longer angry.

In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to their seventies or eighties, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.

However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is too weak to work or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that respected the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they were not able to stay young. I told them something they didn’t want to hear.

After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more, I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.

【1】After this experience in the Chinese restaurant, Jack ________.

A.no longer respected the elderly B.changed his way with older people

C.lost his job in the restaurant D.made friends with the couple

【2】Which of the following is TRUE?

A.The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got.

B.From this experience, Jack learnt more about American culture.

C.The manager went back to the table and said sorry to the couple.

D.Jack wanted to show his feeling through words after his experience.

【3】The word “sensitive” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________ ”.

A.respecting people deeply B.taking nothing seriously

C.getting upset easily D.treating others nicely

【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A.To show that we should act differently with different people and culture.

B.To tell the readers that we should always follow rules of our hometown.

C.To introduce Americans and Chinese different ideas on “being old”.

D.To explain why most Americans don’t like to be called “old”.

22、   Hans Christian Andersen, a great Danish (丹麦的）writer, is very famous for his fairy tales（童话）. He wrote a lot of best-known stories such as The Emperor's New Clothes and The Ugly Ducking. His fairy tales have brought happiness to children across the world. The tales have versions（版本）of over a hundred languages.

Andersen was born in Denmark in 1805. When he was still a young boy, he was already very clever and imaginative. He created a small toy theatre and made clothes for his puppets(木偶).He also loved reading.

In 1816, his father died and he learned to be a tailor(裁缝). Later he worked in a factory. At the age of fourteen, Andersen moved to the capital of Denmark to become an actor and gave performances in the Royal Danish Theatre. However, his voice changed when he grew older, so the job had to stop. Then he began to write poems and fairy tales.

In the spring of 1872, Anderson fell out the bed and didn't get well again. He lived until 1875 and died peacefully at the home of his close friends.

24、   How green are you? Do you know how to be green?

We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.

Reduce

Reduce means “use less”. Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary—or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.

Reuse

Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It's better to use a china(瓷器)cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.

Recycle

Recycle means “change things into something else”. Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

So please remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.

【1】What is the passage about?

A.How to produce things. B.How to burn things.

C.How to help others. D.How to be green.

【2】Which of the following is RIGHT?

A.Don't waste things. B.Always throw away old things.

C.Always buy new things. D.Buy too many things from abroad.

【3】Why is it better to use a china cup and a lunch box?

A.You can burn them. B.You can use them again.

C.You can throw them away. D.You can change them into something else.

【4】To protect the environment, we should remember these three words: ________.

A.waste, reuse and recycle B.repair, burn and recycle

C.reduce, reuse and recycle D.reduce, waste and recycle

【5】The passage may come from ________.

A.a menu B.a dictionary C.a storybook D.a magazine

25、   I would never realize I was quite helpful around the house until 【1】 (I) mum became ill. Last month, she went to hospital. The doctor said she needed to stay in bed and have 【2】 good rest.

My dad works in a restaurant and 【3】 (return) home late every day. He doesn't have time to do housework. This time, I had to d【4】 on myself the whole week. I was 【5】 (provide) with a chance to do housework. It was not as easy as I thought. As soon as I got home from school, I had to make dinner.
