21、Set in a future in which human has been in conflict with an alien race, the novel follows the progress of 6 year old Andrew “Ender” Wiggin, a gifted child who was the result of a government program to develop new commanders to help in the fight against the alien. In the School Ender quickly shows himself to be at the top of his class through his clever use of intelligence during a zero-gravity war game. While Ender’s success makes him a target for older, envious(嫉妒的) commanders, he keeps moving up and is finally promoted(提拨) to Command School where he gets further training from the famous commander Mazer Rackham. In Command School, Ender’s tests and games become increasingly exhausting until he is finally forced to make a frightening decision that has destroying results.
Ender’s Game centers around a group of children who seem to grow into full adults whose emotions and actions seem inconsistent with their actual ages. The youth of these characters added weight to the sadness I felt for these kids who had been raised to be cold and trained since birth to view life as a conflict to be won or lost. The fact that these “Innocents” are competing against each other to kill a faceless enemy for the better of mankind is seen as an unavoidable result of the fear that was stuck in humanity. And while obvious similarities to our own present state of war can be made, the book doesn’t focus as much on the alien threat as it does on Ender’s struggles and the results of his actions.
My main regret with this book was that I didn’t read it when I was younger. I think that I probably would have had an even greater reaction to the story and the struggles of Ender if I’d been closer to his age when I experienced it. Oh well, better late than never I guess.

22、Cooking with steam is of great importance in Chinese cuisine. It's one of the best ways to lock the original flavors in the ingredients.
Vegetables are healthy and full of fiber, and steaming is a quick way to cook them without using much oil. Chinese cabbage is a perfect vegetable to steam: crunchy, tender, less fibrous and mildly sweet. The tender cabbage can be steamed directly with a simple sauce consisting of garlic paste, soy sauce and sugar. Root vegetables like sweet potatoes are also great for steaming. They can be cut into thick sticks or slices and then steamed until the center becomes soft. Thin pieces of carrots, fresh sophora flowers (槐花) can be coated with dry flour and then steamed. This quick dish is usually served with a garlic paste and vinegar sauce.
Steaming fish, shrimp and crabs, is all about preserving the original taste, so freshness is the absolute No. 1 rule when we shop for seafood to be steamed For fine foods from a river, lake or sea, they must be freshly caught the day you buy them. Frozen fish is seldom steamed directly, because there can be a stronger fishy smell and taste. With all the internal organs and scales removed and blood cleaned, the fish is packed with slices of ginger and scallions (姜和葱) that can neutralize the fishiness. It's then placed in a steamer that has been preheated to boil, and cooked for 8 to 10 minutes depending on the size of the fish. The final step is to place scallions on top of the steamed fish. Then, in a small pot, heat up some oil and pour it across the body of the fish to help the flavor release. Next, drizzle (浇) a couple spoons of seasoned soy sauce for seafood around the plate and serve. When eating the fish, it's best to dip it in the sauce for the sweet taste.
【1】What is the advantage of steaming according to the passage?
A.Low cost.
B.Sweet taste.
C.Shining appearance.
D.Original flavor.
【2】What may the underlined word "neutralize" in paragraph 3 mean?

B.Add.
C.Reduce.
D.Gain.
【3】What is the right order of making steamed fish according to the passage?
①Clean the fish. ②Steam the fish. ③Drizzle some sauce. ④Pour some hot oil onto the fish.
⑤Pack the fish with some ginger and scallions.
A.①②③④⑤
B.①④⑤②③
C.①⑤④③②
D.①⑤②④③
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Cooking meals with steam.
B.Cooking seafood in a new way.

24、 After eight puppies (幼犬) were abandoned on the side of the road in Texas,an animal shelter came to the rescue and brought them all the way from Brownwood,Texas to Wintersville,Ohio. Their journey was,by no means,a simple one.
The puppies were first found fighting for their lives in a muddy channel. They were extremely weak and dehydrated (脱水) after being forced to protect themselves in the burning Texas sun. Once the puppies were discovered,their journey was far from over. They were immediately brought to what is known as a “high kill” shelter,and after only a few hours,were scheduled for euthanasia. Things weren’t looking good for the pups. Luckily,they were rescued once more.
“There’s a group that specifically goes around to these high kill shelters and rescues the animals that are scheduled for euthanasia,” said Brandi Damewood,the JCHS Community Outreach Manager. “These guys were rescued by the Corrine T. Smith Animal Center. ”
The puppies would eventually end up under the care of the Jefferson County Humane Society. This is because nokill shelters and rescue organizations often work together to aid in urgent cases. An incredible network of shelters helping other shelters enables these miracle workers to save so many pets in danger of being put down prematurely.
“We have had a lot of other rescue groups come in and they help us get some of our animals adopted out like when we’ re too full or things of that nature,so we kind of help each other out,and so this was a favor to help this particular shelter,”said Damewood.
The JCHS has appropriately titled the puppies’ journey “the freedom ride”. The 20leg trip required 16 different volunteers to drive a total of 1,300 miles. But it was all worth it to save these adorable pups!
“We have a board member,Michelle Zdybicki,who is very active and involved in these transport groups,” said Damewood. “They would meet at specified stops,and then the puppies would be transferred to the next driver for the next leg of the journey. ”
Since arriving in Ohio,the puppies have been vaccinated and are hoping to find forever homes in the near future.

It was _______ to coordinate (协调) our steps, and we didn’t _______much as we went along, just keeping silent. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to_______with you. ”

A Terrifying Experience
It was an unusually hot day. Exhausted after football practice, I headed to the bus stop to wait for Bus 112 which would take me home. I was beginning to drift off to sleep when I saw the bus arriving. The sun was in my eyes and that was probably the reason why I got onto Bus 113.
I was glad to get a seat. Within minutes, I was leaning against the window, fast asleep. When I opened my eyes, it was dark outside. I was the only passenger left on the bus. I could not recognize the part of town we were passing through. I pressed the bell and the bus stopped. I planned to hop across the road and catch a bus going in the opposite direction. However, I found myself on a quiet street with a row of shops that were all closed. I kicked myself for not asking the driver for directions.
As I was wondering what to do, a motorcycle came down the road. The rider looked at me as he passed and then stopped a short distance away. I went to him and asked him how to get back to Taman Klang Utama. He smiled and nodded. He patted the back seat and said that he would send me home. Without a second thought, I climbed up behind the rider. He turned the motorcycle around and headed in the direction I wanted. We traveled for about 15 minutes and the surroundings still looked unfamiliar to me. The rider made a few turns and I knew I was hopelessly lost. I asked him where we were going. He did not answer but increased his speed.
I jumped off the vehicle and fell onto the ground.
