21、Elephants are the largest living animals on land. For a long time, they are very helpful. They carry big trees, take people from place to place, and are even used as "living tanks(坦克) " in wars(战争). People work with elephants for ages, but they do not know elephants well enough. People don't think it's easy to hurt an elephant because its skin is thick and hard  In fact, that's wrong. Sometimes, even though(即使)its skin is thick-up to 2.5 cm, a needle(针)can also be very dangerous for the elephant.

  People say elephants are afraid of mice. This is wrong, too. In fact,  elephants  have very  poor eyesight(视力)，so they usually cannot see a mouse even if one comes very close to them. If a person has a good memory, people will say that he has an e1ephant memory. But up to now, no study shows that elephants have a better memory than other animals.

  People also believe that when it is time for elephants to die, they will hide themselves in a so-called所谓的)" elephant graveyard(墓地)" Often, hunters try to find such places to get ivories(象牙)，but few people really find places like that. In fact, when elephants are old or get sick, they will stay in deep and secret caves(洞穴)until they get better or die.

A. carry heavy trees

22、Nobody likes staying at home on vacation—when the weather is fine. Last August we decided to spend the day in the countryside. The problem was that millions of (数百万)other people had the same idea. We moved out of the city slowly behind a long line of cars, but in the end we came to a quiet country road. After some time, we stopped at a farm near the town. We had carried enough food with us and we got it out of the car. Now everything was ready so we sat down near a path(路) at the foot of the hill(小山). It was very quiet in the cool grass until(直到) we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us pick up(捡起) our things and ran back to the car. There were about two hundred sheep coming towards(朝) us along the path.

【1】From the passage we know the writer likes ______ on vacation.

A. staying at home   B. spending a holiday in the open air

23、Some researchers explain how most people form their social groups with people of their age. Especially, as children and teenagers, even adults, people make their friends based on proximity (邻近) more than anything else. Even in a college classroom, the students may not make friends with those who have similar personalities and interests. It’s the people they really sit next to. Clearly, who stands nearest to you has the greatest influence on you. As Jim Rohn has widely said. “You are average (平均) of five people you spend the most time with.”

Over the past ten months, I’ve paid Ryan, a famous writer of several bestselling books, to help with the book I’m writing. Working with him has shown me just how low my standards for my work are. For example, every time I send him a drab (草稿), he shows me how it could be 10 times better, and he holds me to that standard.

___▲___ It’s because that I don’t know what I don’t know. Working with Ryan has made me realize what is possible and what it takes to create something powerful.

Like Ryan, my business partner Richard has wonderful ideas and far different experience than I have. He has written 36 New York Times Bestsellers. He’s been speaking and doing events for 20 years. Richard always performs at high levels, and he is also very strict with me because my performance is a reflection (反映) on him. It’s not a bad thing because it creates high pressure (压力) to help me make great progress in organizing author training.

In a word, you need to stay with those people who can help you realize your level and potential. Staying with people who have higher standards is the fastest way for you to change. If you don’t change your environment, your progress will be very slow. Who you stay with has huge importance. You can’t ignore this.

【1】The first paragraph tells us that ________.

A．People make friends mainly based on their age.

B．People make friends mainly based on their interests.

C．People make friends mainly based on their similar personalities.

D．People make friends mainly based on their proximity more than anything else.

【2】Why did the writer quote (引用) Jim Rohn’s words in Paragraph 1?

A．To support the writer’s opinion.

B．To introduce the writer’s best friend.

C．To show Jim Rohn’s working ability.

D．To prove Jim Rohn is a great person.

【3】Which of the following can be put at the beginning of Paragraph 3?

A．It’s not that my workmates’ abilities are low.

B．It’s not that my working ability was born low.

C．It’s not that friends based on proximity.

D．It’s not that I’ve paid Ryan to help me with my book.
