22、 I have been receiving so much kindness. It was difficult for an independent girl like me to accept it at first. At times, my financial situation is not the best. But with that comes a great lesson in appreciation, budgeting, and deciding what is and what isn't important.
A few times I've had to put off or even give up things. Because of my scarcity on money, I had to give up a keep-fit exercise, which is something I like to treat myself regularly. When my coach Lisa heard about this, she offered me training at a highly discounted price. At first this made me very uncomfortable. I feared that she would wrongly think that I was going to bargain and of course I wasn't. Instead, I was just being honest about my situation— being short of money. I finally accepted her offer, remembering that I deserve kindness, too.
Another time, I noticed a friend of mine selling his old exercise bike, which was perfect for me, as I was looking to replace my broken one. I told him that I would take it when I had the money, but then life got in the way. When I finally got the time to pick it up, I realized my financial shortcomings again. I asked him if he could hold onto it for one more week, as then I'd have the funds again. He was happy to do this, but instead he insisted on offering me the bike as a gift. Another opportunity presents itself to teach me how to receive with dignity.
I continue to slowly learn how to accept the kindness from others. In fact, the relationship between giving and receiving is closely linked. When you accept the kindness from others with joy, they will feel happy, too.
【1】How did the author feel at first when she received kindness from others?
A.Happy. B.Unfair. C.Proud. D.Unacceptable.
【2】What does the underlined word "scarcity" in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Scare. B.Independence. C.Lack. D.Principle.
【3】What was the author afraid of when Lisa did her a favor?
A.Being punished. B.Being misunderstood.
C.Accepting her coach's strict training. D.Giving away the secret of her being short of money.
【4】How did the author get the second-hand exercise bike?
A.She got it for free. B.She paid much money for it.
C.She bought it from her coach. D.She borrowed it from her friend.
23、Parents can often be concerned about giving eggs to their babies, as they commonly cause food allergies. If you have a family history of allergies, you will need to be more cautious about the introduction of new foods. Always talk to your GP first if you have any concern.
However, it is best to offer your baby well cooked eggs before 12 months of age. A single egg contains essential minerals like copper, zinc, calcium and iron. It also has proteins, cholesterol, fat, fatty acids, vitamins D, B12 and E, chorine and foliate. All of the above nutrients are essential for the healthy growth and development of infants. Delayed introduction of these foods has been shown to increase the chance of developing a food allergy.
As the baby is around six months old, mash (捣碎) one hard-boiled egg and serve it to your baby. For a more liquid consistency, add breast milk or water. From the eight month mark, scrambled egg pieces make a fantastic finger food for your little one. When you’re offering new foods to kids, it’s a good idea to do it during the day instead of the evening, so you can keep an eye on response if they have an allergic reaction.
Food containing raw or minimally cooked eggs can contain salmonella (a type of bacteria), which is why it’s advised to wait until your child is 12 months or older before serving half cooked eggs. When starting solids, you should make the introduction of different foods gradually, both in terms of quantity and the speed of feeding. Ensure it consists of very basic, natural foods, such as fruit and vegetables, which can be managed by their still sensitive digestive system.
Remember that encouraging your little one to accept a wide variety of healthy foods early on in his or her life will have plenty of benefits later, when he or she begins to express his or her personal eating preferences.

【2】What can well cooked eggs bring to babies?
A．Enough energy.
B．Necessary nutrition.

【3】Why should you choose daytime to give new foods to kids?
A．It will bring kids more nutrients.
B．It will decrease allergic reaction.
C．It sounds reasonable and safe.
D．It makes it easier to monitor the kids allergic reaction.
【4】What does the author convey in the last paragraph?
A．Children should take foods regularly.
B．Children’s eating habits should be regulated.
C．Eating has a great influence on children’s life.
D．Children’s personal preferences should be concerned.
24、Jordan knew he wanted to do something unique with his farmland. He wanted to win the local garden club’s “Yard of the Month” award. But he didn’t have the money to buy new trees, so he began by using bushes and shrubs (矮树苗) that a local nursery had thrown away—that looked dead to most people.
Because he worked days at a can factory, Jordan often tended his garden at night. Neighbors got used to seeing one little headlight as Jordan stood on a ladder, cutting and shaping his steadily growing bushes. Gradually, the shrubs took on different shapes. Jordan then began planting trees and using zip ties, coat hangers, PVC pipe, and even his wife’s old stockings to achieve the forms he wanted. “He has a way of manipulating plants to do things he wants them to do by training, bending, wiring, and clipping,” says a neighbor, “And the plants seem to bend to his will.”
Many professional gardeners are amazed by what Jordan has been able to achieve. “The garden itself was created from lack of knowledge,” says Jordan in his booming bass voice, “because I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to do this with plants. For one time in my life, ignorance paid off.”
Jordan’ attention to detail and his willingness to work hard have made him a local hero. He was the fist African American to win “Yard of the Month” honor from the local garden club. And more recognition followed: articles in major newspapers and appearances on well-known TV shows.
Jordan’s garden now includes about 400 species of plants and 150 shrubs in different shapes. On his front yard, four-foot-tall letters filled with bright red begonias (秋海棠) spell Love, Peace, and Goodwill. These are the principles Jordan lives by. A box for donations can be found on the property, but giving is optional. Jordan welcomes people who can’t afford to pay. He understands; he’s been there.
【1】What does Jordan’s experience of building the garden tell us?
A．Beggars can’t be choosers.
B．A good beginning is half done.
C．Where there is a will, there is a way.
D．Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
【2】What does the underlined word “manipulating” mean in paragraph 2?
A．Using.
B．Expecting.
C．Tending.
D．Controlling.
【3】Which of the following words can best describe Jordan?
A．Brave and hard-working
B．Creative and committed.
C．Passionate but careless.
D．Ambitious but ignorant.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Jordan comes from a poor family.
B．Tickets are expensive for visitors.
C．It is worthwhile to pay for the visit.
D．Jordan lives on donation from others.
