21、Whenever there’s a terrible storm, there are many sad stories. Many people lost their houses, their cars and their pets. But sometimes these stories have happy endings, too.

A family in New Jersey, US, had a cat named Vivian. She was very smart. She could even draw with her wet paws(爪子) on the floor. They all loved her very much. When hurricane (飓风) Sandy hit America in October, they moved to a safer place 13km away from home. Unluckily, Vivian was missing (不见了). All the nine family members were worried about her. They put up posters (海报) to find her. They looked for her everywhere they thought she could stay, but they didn’t find it. The family thought Vivian was gone forever.

But six months later, Vivian showed up at their house, according to(根据) Yahoo News. They considered (认为) her return as a wonder. No one can be sure where Vivian was for all that time.

Many animals are good at finding their way home. People usually say that dogs and cats find their way home through using their sense of smell(嗅觉).

23、More than 95 percent of people in the world have phones today, according to the United Nations. Phone calls and messages help us easily communicate with others. It means that we seldom write letters now. But a TV show, Letters Alive, is bringing back this old habit.

Letters Alive got its idea from a UK program with a similar name. Both shows invite famous actors and actresses, but there are no funny jokes or different competitions. Instead, it’s just one person walking up to a microphone and reading a letter.

The letters were written by people from different times in history. For example, in one episode (集) they read a letter written by famous writer Xiao Hong to her younger brother in 1941. The letter shows that Xiao Hong missed her brother so much and had great hopes for his future.

“Every letter opens another world for us,” according to Guan Zhengwen, the director of the TV show.” It seems that we can experience the real lives and feelings of the writers.”

Since its first episode on the fifth of December, Letters Alive has been widely praised. Many audience（观众） members said that it has provided a breath of fresh air to today’s TV shows.

Apart from （除了......之外）Letters Alive, some other cultural TV shows have also been well received by Chinese audiences. They include Chinese Poetry Conference (《中国诗词大会》)，a classical Chinese poetry competition, and Readers, a program that invites people to read poems and articles they like or wrote.

“This means that our audiences are not only looking for entertainment（娱乐） like gossip (八卦) and eye-catching games,” reported China Youth Daily.“Cultural values and true feelings are the keys to winning praise.”

【1】How often do people write letters now?

A. Sometimes.   B. Hardly ever.   C. Always.   D. Seldom.

【2】When was the first episode of Letters Alive appeared on TV?

A. On Dec. 5th.   B. On Dec. 15th.   C. On Sep. 5th.   D. On Sep. 15th.

【3】What is Guan Zhengwen?

A. A director.   B. An actress.   C. A host.   D. A movie star.

【4】How many cultural TV shows are mentioned in the passage?

A. Two.   B. Four.   C. Three.   D. Five.

24、

Have you heard of “choubaguai”? Do you know what it meant at first, a kind of fruit or ugly people? In fact, it originally meant a group of eight painters.

During the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), Yangzhou was a center for business and 【1】（文化）. Many artists lived there because rich 【2】 （商人）liked to buy their paintings. Among these artists was a special group of eight painters. They were all from poor families but they were truly 【3】（有才能的）. Their paintings were 【4】（镜子）of common lives and they are quite 【5】（差别的）from others. So the other painters 【6】（不喜欢）them and called them “Yangzhou baguai”. Some 【7】（甚至）called them “choubaguai”. But people thought their paintings were great and they became quite 【8】（著名的）.

Today, “Yangzhou baguai” is still used to refer to the eight painters, but “Choubaguai” slowly 【9】（失去）its original meaning and now just refers to ugly people in general. When someone calls you “Choubaguai” next time, will you be happy? —【10】（当然）not.
