21、When I was sixteen years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand English. But when I went to America, I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language barriers.
How wrong I was! The misunderstandings (误解) began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Penny a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.
“Yes,” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.”
“Well, that’s nice,” he said. “Are you getting married? But aren’t you a bit young?”
“Who is talking about marriage?” I replied. “I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there’s a phone box?”
“Oh!” he said, “There’s a phone downstairs.”
When at last we met, Penny explained the misunderstandings to me.
“Don’t worry,” she said to me. “I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from British. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time British and American people understand each other!”

22、How to look good in a photo?
What should you do if you want to have a nice photo taken? Whether it's work or fun, the most important thing is lighting．If you get bad lighting, you will look bad, too．Know where the light is．You don't want it below you or above you, you want it to shine directly at you．
The key thing is no shadow．If you are being photographed outside, do it in the morning, or wait till the 2 o'clock shadow has passed．Also don't let pictures in the magazines stress you out — all the pictures are taken by great photographers．And all the faces have had pimples (丘疹，粉刺) taken out by computers.
Tip your head and learn what angles work with your face; everyone is different．So you have to learn what suits you．You can practice in Photo Booth for as long as it is your turn, to learn what angles suit your face．Tip your neck to make it look longer, make eye contact with the camera．No one can look bad if they smile．
For long legs, point one leg into center of the frame and get the photographer to shoot looking up your body.
For just leg shots, lie upside down and raise legs in the air for the best angle．And your legs will look thinner and be in better shape.
Keep shoulders back.
Always have mouth slightly open, enough to put a penny between your lips, as this will make your lips look fuller．
Lower your eyes and then look up just as shutter (快门) is clicked for full eyes.
Delete any evidence of a less than perfect photogenic moment, everyone has off days．
【1】If you want to look good in a photo, the light should be ________.
A．below you B．above you

B．Look down.
C．Keep shoulders back.
D．Put a penny between lips.
23、“Be proud of what you do”(对你所做的感到骄傲)，my father always told me, “whether you are a boss （老板）or a cleaner”, When I was 15, I got a summer job in a hospital, I was told that my duties would include sweeping floors. I smiled and remembered Dad’s words. Even though my job was the lowest，it made me feel excited. I saw it as a challenge because it was my first job. I learned to be on time and tried to do everything well. In return(作为回报)，I was treated with respect（尊重） by doctors, nurses and patients. Each morning I imagined that the dirty dishes would make patients more sick if I were not there to wash them clean. After breakfast was done, I started sweeping the floors of all patient rooms and cleaning toilets. Though I was tired, I wanted the job to be done well, people would say, “That young boy really does a good job.” That gave me a pride. Working in the hospital taught me that being proud of one’s job is important. It does not matter whether the job is sweeping floors or managing a large business. Though every job I have ever had，my father’s words have always stayed with me, I have swept floors, and I have been a manager（经理）. I think Dad would be proud of me!

24、Baby girls make their way to dolls as son as they can crawl(爬), and boys will head for the toy cars, a study has shown. The findings-the first t o show consistent differences in very young babies-suggest there is a biological basis for their preferences.
Psychologists Dr Brenda Todd carried out an experiment involving 90 babies aged 9 months to 36 months. They were allowed to choose from 7 toys. Some were boys’ toys-a car, a digger, a ball and a blue teddy. The rest were girls’ toys; a pink teddy, a doll and a cooking set. They were placed a meter away from the toys, and could pick whichever toy they liked. Their choice and amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded.
Of the youngest children (9 to 14 months), girls spent much longer time playing with the doll than boys, and boys spent much more time with the car and the ball than the girls did. Among the two and three-year-olds, girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched it. The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars, which the girls barely touched. There was no link between the parents’ views on which toys were more appropriate for boys or girls, and the children’s choices.
Dr Brenda Todd said, “Children of this age are already exposed to much socialization. Boys may be given ‘toys that go’ while girls get toys they can care for, which may help shape their preferences. But these findings are consistent with the former idea that children show intrinsic(内在的) interest in particular kinds of toys. There could be a biological basis for their choices. Males through evolution have been adapted to moving objects, probably through hunting instincts (本能), while girls prefer warmer colors such as pink, the color of a newborn baby.”
【1】Baby boys and girls have different toy preferences probably because .
A. baby boys are much more active
B. baby girls like bright colors better
C. their parents treat them differently
D. there is a biological difference between them
【2】What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. Nine-month-old baby boys don’t play with dolls at all.
B. Two-year-old baby girls sometimes play with cars and balls
C. The older the babies are, the more obvious their preference is.
D. Parents should teach baby boys and girls to share each other’s toys.
【3】What conclusion did Dr Brenda Todd draw from the results of the study?
A. Adults purposely influence the preference of babies.
B. Babies’ preference isn’t affected by social surroundings.(环境)
C. Baby boys preferring moving toys will be good at hunting.
D. Baby girls preferring warmer colors will be warmhearted.
【4】Which column of a newspaper does the passage probably appear in?
A. Science. B. Health.
C. Education. D. Entertainment.

26、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Willie’s aunt sent him a little writing book as a birthday present. There was a place in the book for a pencil. Willie thought a great deal of this little book, and always kept it in his pocket.
One day, his mother was very busy. He called his dog and said, ”Come, Caper, let’s have a play."
When Willie’s mother missed him, she went to the door and looked out, but could not see him anywhere. Knowing that Caper was with him, she thought they would come back before long.
She waited an hour, but they still did not come. When she came to the gate by the road, she met Mr. Lee, Willie’s father, and told him how long their son had been gone. Mr. Lee thought he must have gone to sleep under the trees. So they went to all the trees under which Willie was in the habit of playing, but he was nowhere to be found.
As a matter of fact, Willie and Caper went to the pasture field. It was peaceful and quiet. Deep green grass looked like a beautiful woven blanket spreading out upon the ground. Attracted by the beauty, they ran around. All too soon, Willie came to an edge of a shaft (坑) he knew it. He sat down and bent over to see how deep it was. Suddenly, he lost his balance and fell in. He tried very hard to get out, but could not.
When the good little dog saw that his master was in the shaft, he would not leave him but ran round and round, reaching down and trying to pull him out. While Caper was biting Willie by the coat sleeves, a piece of soil gave way under his feet. He fell in too. Willie called for his father and mother as loud as he could. However, he was so far away from the house that no one could hear him.
He cried and called till it was dark, and then he lay down on the ground, Caper close behind him. It was not long before Willie cried himself to sleep.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150左右;

When he woke up, it was morning, and he began to think of a way to get out.
