21、Guide dogs help blind people who cannot get around by themselves．Although Yorkshire terriers and poodles are good companion dogs，guide dogs are chosen from lager breeds(品种)such as German shepherds，golden retrievers，and Labrador retrievers．The young dogs are raised by families until they are eighteen months old．During this time，they get lots of love and attention，but they are also taught to obey．Then the dogs go to a special school where，for four months，they work with a sighted trainer，an individual who can see．The dog forms a close relationship with this person who teaches it how to follow directions such as right，left，straight ahead，and stop．The young dog also learns to watch out for dangerous traffic and wait until it is safe to cross a busy street.

22、   Children may not be putting coins in piggy banks for much longer. With the move towards a cashless society, pocket money is moving digital.

To reflect this trend, many mobile budgeting apps for children have sprung up worldwide：GoHenry, Osper, and Gimi, to name but a few. These apps offer a simple money management service for children, often for a monthly fee paid by the parents. Parents can add money to children's accounts, set limits and monitor transactions(交易). Children can choose to save their money or spend it using a prepaid card.

These apps aim to teach young childrenfinancial concepts, such as budgeting, interest rates and income. For instance, the Swedish app Gimi—with 1.2 million users globally—has virtual savings jars where children can deposit money. Parents can pay children interest as they save. There is also a chores feature, where parents can pay children for completing household tasks. The account is attached to a prepaid card that is currently available in Sweden only, but is expected to be launched elsewhere in Europe in 2020.

Haglund, CEO of Gimi, believes the app can teach children responsible spending habits. "You don't become better at money management just because you have a degree in economics. It's more about the attitude and the relationship you have with parents' money when you're 6 to 12 years old," he says.

But Catherine Winter, managing director of financial capability at The London Institute of Banking and Finance, warns that while digital tools can help there needs to be a more structured approach to financial education. The area should "have regular, dedicated, classroom time and ideally should be taught as a standalone subject," she said. “Children would then have the right context and foundation to get the most out of both the apps and their money.”

【1】What does the underlined part "this trend" in paragraph 2 refer to?

A.Putting coins in piggy banks

B.Pocket money moving digital

C.Mobile budging apps springing up.

D.Money management service being offered

【2】What do we know about the Swedish app Gimi?

A.It pays children interest as they save.

B.It has 1. 2 million users all over Sweden.

C.It can teach children concepts related to money

D.It is attached to a credit card available in Sweden only.

【3】What can we learn from Winter's words?

A.Digital tools can help a lot with spending habits

B.Money management requires financial capability.

C.A regular classroom-based financial education is needed.

D.Children can get the most out of their money with the apps

【4】What's the passage mainly about?

A.The rise of the digital piggy bank.

B.The trend towards a cashless society.

C.The importance of financial education.

D.The popularity of money management apps.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

When I was elected the president of Student’s Union, everybody congratulated me on my campaign saying it was one of the best the school had seen. Our principal assigned me my first mission in my political career—raising money to build a coffeehouse on the campus. I was thrilled and ambitious about it.

Having determined my goal, I set up a small group of helpers to do fundraising. One of them was Gary.

He had a reputation for being super active and energetic. You could easily pick him out during the lunch break for he was always enjoying himself by throwing Frisbees (飞盘) to someone just passing by. But meanwhile, he was extraordinarily clever and eloquent (雄辩的). As the leader of the Debating Club, he never had any losses. When I humbly asked him to join the fundraising group, he raised his eyebrows, obviously, he didn’t expect someone so serious as I would invite someone so playful as him. At my insistence, he finally agreed.

Clearly, I was right about him. Gary persuaded dozens of students into donating. He helped me organize our group meetings, discussing and distributing tasks in great detail. When the team members met obstacles and lost heart on the edge of giving up, he made the best of his humor to cheer everyone up. Gradually, all of us who participated felt like we were part of something much bigger than we were. We were building a community and it felt great.

They say “absolute power corrupts (腐败) absolutely”. It sure did in my case. There was I, one of the most-liked guys on campus, powerful and making a difference, until my ego took over and destroyed everything. I let all the power go to my head. My arrogance and my pride were out of control. I began speaking down to my group members, demanding they listen to me because I thought I knew what was best. I believed that I could accomplish this mission without any of them and I wanted to take credit for everything. Gary tried to convince me that I had changed, and that I was abusing my position, but I wasn’t listening.

注意：

1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；

3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；

It wasn’t long before all my supporters, even Gary, began to turn against me.
