21、   On Saturday morning, every boy in town was happy, except Tom Sawyer. Tom’s aunt said he had to paint the fence (围墙). It was very big! Tom painted a small part and then had a rest. Soon some boys came along and made fun of him. Just then, he had a wonderful idea. He picked up his brush and went back to work.

Ben came happily with an apple in one hand. “I’m going swimming,” said Ben. “Do you want to come? Oh, but you have to work, don’t you?” “Work?” Tom said. “I don’t think that this is work. It’s fun. Does a boy get a chance like this every day?”

Ben thought about this. Tom went on painting. Ben was watching Tom’s every move. He was getting more and more interested. Then he said, “Tom, will you let me do some painting?”

Tom said, “No, Ben, I can’t. You see, Aunt Polly wants it to be done perfectly. I’m the only one that can do it right.”

“Oh, please, Tom,” begged Ben. “I’ll be really careful. I’ll give you my apple.”

“Well, all right, Ben,” said Tom. “But you must be careful.”

He gave Ben his brush with worry on his face but joy in his heart. He sat down under the tree, and started to eat Ben’s apple.

All day, boys passed by and wanted to paint. When Ben got tired, Billy began to paint. He gave Tom a kite. Then Johnny gave him twelve marbles (弹珠), and so on.

22、

An elderly man once paid a visit to Dante Gabriel Rossetti, a famous 19th century poet and artist. The old man had some sketches (素描) and drawings that he wanted Rossetti to look at and tell him if they were any good.

Rossetti looked them over carefully. Soon, he knew that they were worthless, showing not the least sign of artistic talent. But Rossetti was kind, and he told the elderly man as gently as possible that the pictures were without much value.

The visitor was disappointed. He then said sorry for taking up Rossetti's time, but asked if he would just look at a few more drawings - these were drawn by a young art student. Rossetti looked over the second batch (一批) of sketches and immediately became interested in them. "These," he said, "Oh, these are good. This young student has great talent. He should be given praise and encouraged to continue in his career as an artist. He will have a great future if he works hard and keeps on trying."

Rossetti could see that the old fellow was deeply moved. "Who is this fine young artist?" Rossetti asked. "Your son?" "No," said the old man sadly. "It was me-40 years ago.

"Once upon a time, I was a boy who was so interested in drawing. I spent my free time going to the nature and drawing beautiful butterflies, mountains and forests and whatever I like. I got a feeling of satisfaction when sitting quietly near the river, watching and drawing. But people around me told me never to waste my time on drawing. They laughed at me for dreaming of being an artist as a son of a farmer. They kept advise me to work hard on the farm instead of day-dreaming and running away to avoid farming work."

"If only I had heard your praise then! For you see, I got discouraged and gave up too soon."

【1】What did Rossetti think of the old Man's drawings?

A．Excellent.

B．Worthless.

C．Interesting.

D．Boring.

【2】Which of the following is true?

A．Rossetti was the old man's drawing teacher and thought he was not talented in art.

B．Rossetti thought the second batch of sketches are as good as the first batch of drawings.

C．Rossetti thought the young art student should be encouraged to continue drawing.

D．Rossetti preferred to teach the old man's son to draw because of his drawing talent.

【3】What does the story want to tell us?

A．It's necessary to have a famous artist to be your teacher.

B．It's common to lose our talent in drawing when we grow up.

C．It's important to believe in ourselves and follow our dreams.

D．It's stupid to listen to people who laughed at your drawings.

24、【语篇来自二十一世纪学生英文报·试题原创】

There are certain things you never imagine yourself saying.

“I just got a worm in my eye!” is one of them.

And yet I did say it—I screamed it, actually.

The family was all here and we were in the garden, when I saw a worm nearby. I asked my six-year-old grandson to come over and remove the worm. He picked up the worm, studied it quickly and then threw it into the air.

The worm quickly fell back to earth, landing on my face against my left eyelid. That’s when the screaming started and the jumping up and down.

You know how they say when you meet a small creature, that the small creature is just as afraid of you as you are of it? They lie.

The worm showed no fear. I, however, am still having nightmares about the experience, which was several days ago.

The most important thing in all this is that my grandson said he was sorry to me.

I’d just been reading a book that makes a connection between adults doing the slow and hard work of teaching manners to children and greater levels of civility in society.

Table manners, language manners and even manners in dress all show levels of self-control.

Having self-control limits what we say and how we behave, making many of us appear a good deal better than we really are.

Good manners also have the possibility to make mealtime a pleasant experience, even with small children.

All of my grandchildren, except the ones that can’t yet talk, ask to be excused before leaving the table.

It is a sign of respect for others at the table and a sign of respect for the meal itself. It’s also more pleasant than pushing one’s chair back and running for the back yard.

Those tall enough, and even those not tall enough, also take their dishes to the kitchen.

Manners are what civilize us—around our tables, in our families, homes and our communities.

So when a little boy has the courage to apologize to a grandma who is screaming and jumping up and down, at least we know that our years of teaching young people manners are paying off—one worm at a time.

【1】Where were they when the author saw a worm?

A．In the house.

B．In the garden.

C．In the park.

D．In the back yard.

【2】The worm fell down on the author’s________.

A．leg

B．head

C．left eyelid

D．right eyelid

【3】What does the underlined word “nightmares” mean?

A．好运

B．噩梦

C．回忆

D．愿望

【4】The author believed that his grandson’s apology is________.

A．a good manner

B．a bad behavior

C．unnecessary

D．a must

【5】What does the passage tell us?

A．The importance of apology.

B．The importance of good manners.

C．Many kinds of good manners.

D．A story of a worm.
