24、①Nowadays, some schools teach traditional subjects like math, geography, and language, but they also teach life skills. Life skills classes teach students how to keep their rooms clean and tidy, take care of their health, and have healthy personal relationships. Some people say these classes prepare students better for life in the real world. But other people say these classes aren’t important. Students should only pay attention to how to get into university. What do you think?

②Some people like the idea of teaching life skills in schools. They believe that life skills classes give students what they need to know to live on their own, whether they go to college or get a job after high school. They help prepare students for everyday real-life situations, such as cooking a meal and managing money. Many of these classes also teach “soft skills”, like how to listen and talk to people in a positive (积极的) way, which are important in the workplace and in personal relationships. As students learn more life skills, they become more confident in themselves.

③On the other hand, some people believe that there is no time for more subjects at school. They think it’s more important to teach traditional subjects than life skills at school. Many students choose not to take life skills classes because these classes don’t improve their chances of getting into university. People also think it should be the job of parents to teach their kids what they need to know at home.

④Personally, I think we already learn many life skills while doing traditional subjects. For example, we learn teamwork by doing group work, and organizing (安排) our homework teaches us how to use our time well. I believe all schools should teach life skills. It would not need too much work because there is no need to teach them separately from traditional subjects. This will make sure that students are better prepared for college and work when they leave school.

【1】What do the underlined words “these classes” refer to ?

A．Health lessons.

B．Life skills lessons.

【2】What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．Different ways to live on their own.

B．Some useful soft skills taught at school.

C．Advantages of learning life skills at school

D．Suggestions on dealing with real-life situations

【3】The writer probably agrees that ________.

A．schools need to give more time to life skills classes

B．parents’ first job is to teach their children life skills

C．students can learn life skills in their traditional subjects

D．teachers should learn life skills together with their students

【4】How is the text organized? (=Paragraph 1. = Paragraph 2. . . )

A．

B．

C．

D．

25、There are many wetlands（湿地） in China and some of them have become the world's important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world's largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve（自然保护区） is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world， but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.

The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine， too. They are really good places for wildlife（野生生物）. Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.

Luckily， more and more people are beginning to realize the important of wetlands and wildlife. Every year， on February 2nd， many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.

26、Dear Readers,

Imagine an 11-year-old child often spends time washing clothes, looking after a baby, and working hard in the fields.

Imagine a little girl who knows there will not be enough food for dinner, who can’t fill her stomach with water because it’s polluted, and who has watched life slip away(消失)from her father and little brother and sister because the family is too poor to see a doctor.

Is it hard to believe? For Mary, these are the real life.

Mary would gladly walk miles to school, but her mother, now alone, needs her badly at home. Mary will grow up without any schooling. What will be her future? In many ways, maybe it will be unlucky. But with just 52 pennies a day, you can sponsor a child like Mary.

To help Mary most, your money is put together with that of other sponsors, so hard-working people can help themselves. Build a school, a hospital, or bring in clean water. This is what “Save the Children” has been about since 1932.

For you there are many rewards(奖励). Have the chance to write to or hear from your sponsored child. Receive photos or progress reports. Know you are reaching out to another person. That’s how “Save the Children” works. But without you, it can’t work. Let’s help a child like Mary and her village.

It can make such a difference in her life and yours.

For the children
