21、   The ostrich（鸵鸟）is the largest bird in the world. From far away, it looks more like a camel than a bird. It has a long neck, long legs and a walk like a camel. Its eyes are very large and sharp. Like the camel, the ostrich can go for a long time without water. It lives in sandy desert, too.

23、Tammy came home from school with a note (便条) from her teacher, Ms. Jones. The note said, “Tammy is having trouble seeing the blackboard. Maybe she needs to go to an eye doctor.”

“I will call Dr. Gray and you’re going to see her tomorrow after school.”

Tammy went to her room and began to worry. That night Tammy did not sleep.

The next day after school, Tammy went to Dr. Gray’s office with her mom. When Tammy went in to see the doctor, she was so nervous. The doctor told her and her mom that Tammy was having trouble seeing things from far away. She told Tammy that she would need to choose a pair of glasses to help her see well. Tammy looked worried.

“What’s the matter?” asked Dr. Gray.

“I don’t want to wear glasses! All the girls are going to laugh at (嘲笑) me.”

“Why aren’t you laughing at me? I’m wearing glasses.”

“You look so beautiful in yours.”

“Then let’s choose some glasses that look almost like mine.”

Tammy and Dr. Gray found a pair of brown and black glasses. Tammy wore the glasses and read from far away. “Everything looks so clear!” said Tammy. “I really like my new glasses.”

24、Maybe nothing tastes as delicious and refreshing (凉爽的) as a cold, juicy, round watermelon on a hot summer day. No wonder this healthy fruit has been enjoyed by humans for thousands of years. But how about trying square watermelons instead of round ones? Sounds fascinating, doesn’t it?

If you have been paying attention to all the exciting news lately, then surely you have seen all the wonderful shapes that watermelons come in these days. There are watermelons that look like Egyptian pyramids, there are special heart shaped watermelons for Valentine’s Day and of course, there are all kinds of round shapes. But did you know that it all started with square watermelons?

Recently, farmers in the southern Japanese town have discovered a technique to grow their watermelons in a square shape. The reason why they’re doing this in Japan is that there is not enough space in refrigerators. They are trying to make watermelons “refrigerator-friendly”.

A round watermelon can take up a lot of room in a refrigerator, and the usual round fruit often sits awkwardly (笨拙地) on refrigerator shelves. Smart Japanese farmers have forced their watermelons to grow into a square shape by putting the watermelon into square, glass cases while the fruit is still growing on the vine (藤). The new kind of square watermelons are so easy to store. You can just stack them up, which means more of them will fit in a container. This save a lot of space and also money on shipping. Also, people can now fit them better in their tiny refrigerators at home and can start buying bigger watermelons.

But these square watermelons come with a high price. Regular watermelons in Japan cost from $15 to $25 each, while each square watermelon costs about $82. Being quite expensive, these watermelons will certainly not be bought by the general public. Maybe people will give them as gifts! But it is also said that there does appear to be a growing U.S. market for watermelons that are more refrigerator-friendly. The industry is seeking for opinions from consumers who do mind size.

A．refrigerator

B．glass case

C．shelf

D．room

【5】The square watermelons enable people to _________ .

25、In a history class, our teacher, Mrs Bartlett asked us to make a poster in groups about the culture that we were studying. She told us to write the names of three friends we wanted in one group and she would think about o【1】 choices(选择).

The next day, I was told to be in a “bad” group. The boy in the group was too weak in English, and the other two girls always w【2】 strange clothes. Oh, how I wanted to be with my f【3】!

With tears(眼泪) in my eyes, I walked up to Mrs Bartlett. She looked at me and seemed to know what I was there f【4】. I told her I should be in the “good” group. She gently placed a hand on my shoulder(肩膀). “I know what you want, Karma,” she said, “but your g【5】 needs you. I need you to help them. Only you can help them.” I was surprised and moved. Her words c【6】 me up.

“Will you help them?” she asked. “Yes,” I r【7】. Then I bravely walked over to my group. I sat down and we started. Each of us did a part according to our interests. Halfway through the week, I felt m【8】 enjoying our group. We did a good job together. Nobody e【9】 Mrs Bartlett believed in our group.

Amazingly, our group got an A. But I think the A should be r【10】 by Mrs Bartlett. Mrs Bartlett brought out the potential (潜能) in four of her students.
