21、The ocean is full of lessons. 【1】

If you are able to spend time at a beach in summer and go for a swim, you'll find yourself facing a number of choices when waves arrive. Challenges are often described as coming in "waves". 【2】 How do you handle waves? You could try one of these possible responses:

【3】 Waves will eventually crash. and it's just what they do. Show your inner strength by standing right in that moment, steeling yourself to resist the impact. Feel how much your legs and muscles offer support with each passing wave, no matter how powerful it is. You can't control the sea, but you can place yourself strongly within it.

Get knocked over—and come up laughing. I've taught my 9-year-old son the same beach safety rule my mother taught me: If you get knocked over by a wave, find the sandy bottom with your feet so you can push off and break through the water's surface. Thus you can experience the joy of getting knocked down and finding your way back up again. 【4】

Ride the waves. When swimming in deep water, face what's coming and reflect on what's behind. When you turn landward and ride the waves toward the shore, that same sort of waves that may have knocked you down, or that you steeled yourself against, can now carry you forward. 【5】 So set aside the resistance and accept the help of each wave as it comes.

A．Stand up to the crashing surf

B．Waves will carry you to where you want to go

C．Yet what I appreciate is how it benefits mankind.

D．So the options reflect our decision-making powers in life.

E．Of course, you have to go swimming when the sea is still.

F．Among the most important, for me, are those from waves.

G．You may also realize that you can handle something a little stronger than you.

22、   People have relied on the forests of the Yucatan Peninsula for thousands of years. The ancient Maya who built the great cities of Tikal，Palenque and Calakmul used the region’s trees for building material and fuel wood. But populations on the peninsula grew so large that by around A.D. 900，the Maya had deforested large areas, leading to frequent natural disasters. Eventually they were forced to abandon most of their cities entirely. Today, Yucatan forests are home to around 500 kinds of trees.

But only a few of those---including the mahogany Swietenia macrophylla, with its beautiful, workable and rot-resistant wood---are real moneymakers. One large trunk can net $1,000 or more. And because it grows in isolated groups, it’s an easy species to harvest selectively. “Mahogany is king, ” says Ellis.

Noh-Bec is not ancient; it was founded in the 1930s by chicleros —people who made their living mainly by harvesting natural chewing gum from chicle found in trees rich in the Yucatan. They began to see mahogany’s value in the late 1970s and early ’80s, when communities regained the power to manage their own forests under the existing ejido system. In ejidos, elected councils run parcels of land, though government regulations still limit what they can do. Noh-Bec community members capitalized on their autonomy by building a sawmill and, later, charcoal furnaces to process and market furniture and other wood products.

In 1993, the community also became the first forest certified as sustainably harvested by the Forest Stewardship Council, earning it a profit in international markets. Noh-Bec’s profits now come mainly from cutting and selling mahogany to developed world customers who want to know that their purchases don’t contribute to deforestation.

【1】What did the Maya do that finally led them to desert most of their cities?

A.They found more valuable trees.

B.They ignored the natural disasters.

C.They overused the Yucatan forests.

D.They kept the population under control.

【2】What does Ellis mean by “mahogany is king”（in paragraph 2)?

A.Mahogany is among the trees that will bring people fortune.

B.Mahogany is one of the biggest kinds of trees in Yucatan.

C.Mahogany is a species that exist in Yucatan in the largest quantities.

D.Mahogany is regarded as a kind of trees that appeal to visitors most.

【3】What can we learn from the passage about Noh-Bec?

A.It has a history of more than 100 years.

B.It funded the Forest Stewardship Council.

C.It was totally independent of the government.

D.It cuts trees in a way that is friendly to the forest.

【4】The best title of the passage might be .

A.An ancient community B.Money trees

C.A profitable forest. D.Harm of deforestation.

23、Bertie knew there was something in the wind. His mother had been sad in recent days, not sick, just strangely sad. The lion had just lain down beside him, his head warm on Bertie's feet, when Father cleared his throat and began, "You'll soon be eight, Bertie. A boy needs a proper education. We've found the right place for you, a school near Salisbury in England."

His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie could think of was his white lion. "But the lion." he cried, "What about the lion?"

"I'm afraid there's something else I have to tell you," his father said. Looking across at Bertie's mother, he took a deep breath. Then he told Bertie he had met a circus owner from France, who was over in Africa looking for lions to buy. He would come to their farm in a few days.

"No! You can't send him to a circus!" said Bertie. "People will come to see him. He'll be shut up behind bars. I promised him he never would be. And they will laugh at him. He'd rather die. Any animal would!" But as he looked across the table at them, he knew their minds were quite made up.

Bertie felt completely betrayed. He waited until he heard his father's deep breathing next door. With his white lion at his heels, he crept（蹑手蹑脚地移动）downstairs, took down his father's rifle（步枪）and stepped out into the night. He ran and ran till his legs could run no more. As the sun came up over the grassland, he climbed to the top of a hill and sat down, his arms round the lion's neck. The time had come.

"Be wild now", he whispered. "You've got to be wild. Don't ever come home. All my life I'll think of you. I promise I will." He buried his head in the lion's neck. Then, Bertie climbed down the hill and walked away.

When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up, yawned, stretched, and sprang down after him. Bertie shouted at, him, but he kept coming. He threw sticks. He threw stones. Nothing worked.

There was only one thing left to do. With tears filling his eyes and his mouth, he lifted the rifle to his shoulder and fired over the lion's head.

【1】Bertie's mother was sad probably because she_________.

A．had been seriously ill recently

B．knew selling the lion would upset Bertie

D．had decided to send Bertie to school

B．parents are sometimes cruel to their children

C．animal-hunting is popular in Africa

D．animals usually lead a miserable life in circuses

24、Four Stories in Life

A real doll

I’ve worked at an amusement park and when another Barbara joined the team, I changed my name tag (标签) from “Barb” to “Barbie”.It was funny to see how kids reacted to my name differently.“Is she really a Barbie?” they asked. I changed it at another job, too, and began answering the phone, “This is Barbie. How can I help you?” Ninety percent of callers now respond, “Barbie, can you tell me……?” Pronouncing that long “e” sound forces your mouth into a smile. But I’ve found the smile is usually returned voluntarily.

—Barbie Bosco Latrobe, Pennsylvania

Rice twice as nice

We replaced rice with cauliflower (花椰菜) rice. There’s not much of a difference in taste, and it cooks in minutes, and is a vegetable instead of empty carbs (精制碳水化合物).

—Michelle Byrd Marlton, New Jersey

Happy wife, happy life

Early in our marriage, my husband would come home feeling tired after work, and I’d be tired due to looking after the kids. We were both tired and bad-tempered, and we often ended up arguing. It got to a point where I worried we were on the verge (边缘) of divorce. The day I realized it, I asked myself, “Am I the person I would want to come home to?”

I began greeting him with a smile and kiss instead of complaining about my day. He’d smile back and we’d talk calmly. We still have our differences, but one small change in attitude saved our marriage forever.

—Annabelle Wallis, Pennsylvania
