21、Have you recently spotted people carrying garbage bags while jogging? 【1】? This is a new eco－friendly workout called plogging, a combination of jogging and the Swedish term “plocka upp” , meaning “pick up".
Plogging is essentially regular old jogging but with an eco－ friendly upgrade. Here's how it works. 【2】, ploggers pick up the garbage littered on the street and dispose of it correctly instead of jogging on.
Starting in Sweden, plogging has caught on across the world. This new workout trend will bring about some serious benefits: keeping ploggers in shape and saving the planet.
The eco－friendly workout is significantly more effective than just jogging. 【3】, a half hour of plogging will burn 288 calories on average, compared to just 235 calories from regular jogging. Besides, plogging is a nice distraction when your run might otherwise be dragging. Instead of counting the steps until you jog for another mile, you'll be too busy spotting garbage to realize you've already covered 5 miles.
【4】. Littering influences our quality of life and economic development, and often ends up polluting the environment and harming wildlife. Plogging, simple and fun, enables everyone to help create cleaner, greener, and more beautiful communities.
So next time you go for a jog, try stopping to gather any garbage while you are at it. 【5】
A．Have you noticed people littering here and there
B．Or their hands filled with some old plastic bottles
C．After all, both your body and planet will thank you
D．While jogging through a park or neighborhood roads
E．Since plogging needs people to track and record calories
F．Then there come the earth－friendly effects of plogging
G．As plogging requires some bending and arm strength to hold all the garbage
22、Mr.Bean is an internationally recognized comedy character on TV and in films.He constantly gets into awkward and absurd situations，which greatly amuses audiences regardless of their nationalities or culture.The humour is always made clear through a series of simple and funny acts that rely purely on body language，which is universal.
One of my favourite shows is that Mr.Bean has a meal in a fancy restaurant.After being seated at his table，Mr.Bean takes out a card，writes a few words on it，seals(密封) it in an envelope and places it on the table.After a moment，he looks back at the envelope but this time he looks surprised，as if he did not know it was there.He opens it to find a birthday card and delightedly puts it on the table for everyone to see.
When he looks at the menu，an astonished look swiftly appears on his face.He takes all the money out of his wallet，counts it and puts it in a saucer(茶托)．He then looks from the menu to the money with concern until he finds one thing that makes him smile.Then he orders a dish called “steak tartare”．When the dish arrives，he is shocked to discover that “steak tartare” is actually raw hamburger.He makes an attempt to eat it，but it is clear from the look on his face that he finds the taste truly disgusting.He cannot hide his feelings，except when the waiter asks if everything is all right.When this happens，he smiles and nods，indicating that everything is fine.When the waiter is not looking，however，he busies himself hiding the raw meat anywhere he can reach—the sugar bowl，the tiny flower vase，inside a bun(小圆面包) and under a plate.He becomes so desperate in the end that he even hides some inside the purse of a woman sitting near him and throws some down the trousers of the restaurant’s violinist!
I like to watch Mr.Bean on TV，but I wouldn’t like to meet someone like him in real life and I certainly wouldn’t like to have dinner with him!

24、When I was seven my father gave me a Timex, my first watch. I loved it, wore it for years, and haven’t had another one since it stopped ticking a decade ago. Why? Because I don’t need one. I have a mobile phone and I’m always near someone with an iPod or something like that. All these devices (装置) tell the time — which is why, if you look around, you’ll see lots of empty wrists; sales of watches to young adults have been going down since 2007.
This is ridiculous. Expensive cars go faster than cheap cars. Expensive clothes hang better than cheap clothes. But these days all watches tell the time as well as all other watches. Expensive watches come with extra functions — but who needs them? How often do you dive to 300 metres into the sea or need to find your direction in the area around the South Pole? So why pay that much of five years’ school fees for watches that allow you to do these things?
If justice were done, the Swiss watch industry should have closed down when the Japanese discovered how to make accurate watches for a five-pound note. Instead the Swiss reinvented the watch, with the aid of millions of pounds’ worth of advertising, as a message about the man wearing it. Rolexes are for those who spend their weekends climbing icy mountains; a Patek Philippe is for one from a rich or noble family; a Breitling suggests you like to pilot planes across the world.
Watches are now classified as “investments” (投资). A 1994 Philippe recently sold for nearly £ 350,000, while 1960s Rolexes have gone from £ 15,000 to £ 30,000 plus in a year. But a watch is not an investment. It’s a toy for self-satisfaction, a matter of fashion. Prices may keep going up — they’ve been rising for 15 years. But when of fashion. Prices may keep going up — they’ve been rising for 15 years. But when fashion moves on, the owner of that £ 350,000 beauty will suddenly find his pride and joy is no more a good investment than my childhood Times.
【1】The author don’t need another watch because ________.
A．he don’t like wearing a watch
B．he has mobile phone and can ask someone for help
C．he has no sense of time
D．he thinks watches too expensive
【2】It seems ridiculous to the writer that________.
A．expensive watches with unnecessary functions still sell
B．expensive clothes sell better than cheap ones
C．cheap cars don’t run as fast as expensive ones
D．people dive 300 metres into the sea
【3】What can be learnt about Swiss watch industry from the passage?
A．It wastes a huge amount of money in advertising.
B．It’s hard for the industry to beat its competitors.
C．It targets rich people as its potential customers.
D．It’s easy for the industry to reinvent cheap watches.
【4】Which would be the best title for the passage?
A．Timex or Rolex?
B．My Childhood Timex
C．Watches? Not for Me!
D．Watches----a Valuable Collection

Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can't imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on ____________weekend afternoons as I ____________ into its leaves before the nuts threaten to fall.
Every spring, I wonder what the season holds. What are the chances of being knocked __________while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased.
