21、 Taylore is a kid who passes by to ride sometimes and help us with chores. Barely 15, she's never short of advice, and one of her favorite pastimes is teasing me about being afraid to go too fast on a horse.
Last summer four of us rode down the trail behind our woods: my wife Karen, Taylore, Taylore's friend Kendall and me. I was riding with my 13-year-old, Tawny.
We were two miles from home when, for some unexplainable reason, I pushed Tawny into a gallop. The other horses were anxious to catch up, and just like that, the race was on.
Taylore brushed past my left leg and, seconds later, Kendall went by on my right. I realized Tawny was covering ground faster than I'd ever seen her. She strained every muscle in her body to catch up with the girls. It was like a truck winding over a mountain road without brakes. Part of me felt perfectly in control, while another part screamed that I wasn't.
In half a mile I knew we'd be crossing the highway, so I prayed that the girls would be fine. I gave up calculating how long it might take before my horse would be tired enough to want to slow down.
I was just about out of answers when I saw the girls slowing in front of me. Their horses were relaxed and comfortable, not even breathing hard. Taylore's face glowed. She gave me a high five. “Wow, you did well,” she said, “I knew you'd go fast when you were ready.”
No one in the group had even broken a sweat, except me. I was still nervous from the crazy pace. My heart pounded too, but not from exercise. Karen claims I was showing off for the girls that day, and maybe she's right. But I think I had something to prove because despite my wrinkles(皱纹), glasses and gray hair, I was feeling young at heart. And, like a horse on a warm summer day, I'm always ready to kick up my heels.
【1】How did the race between the girls and the author begin?
A.His horse's gallop made the other horses want to catch up.
B.He wanted to show off his riding skills for the girls.
C.They wanted to know whose horse could run fastest.
D.They teased him about being afraid to go too fast on a horse.
【2】During the race, _______________.
A.the author's horse outran the girl's horses
B.the author was confident that Tawny was in control
C.the girls were so anxious to win that they sweated a lot
D.the author's good performance took Taylore by surprise
【3】When the race ended, the author's heart pounded because______________.
A.it was really tough exercise for him
B.he was feeling thrilled and young
C.he was worried that the girls might be in danger
D.he felt quite embarrassed that he had lost the race
22、 Not long ago, people could only buy organic（有机的）food in small local shops. Today it is common in most major supermarkets. The reason for the increase is that more and more people are demanding food grown without chemicals. Since the 1990s, organic farm production has gone up to 20 percent every year. This pattern is expected to continue around the globe.
Australia leads the world in land used for organic agriculture. It has four times as much land devoted to organic farming as all of Asia. However, most of the land is not very fertile（肥沃）, and it only produces a modest amount of food. Argentina is a distant second, followed by Brazil, the United States and China. In Africa, only a very small amount of land is registered for organic farming. That does not mean Africa relies on chemicals. In fact, many farmers do not use chemicals because they cannot afford them. Yet there are no programs for these farmers to prove they do not use chemicals. Without these programs their food can never be approved organic.
India has had the most dramatic recent increase in organic farming. Like many other countries, India sees continual growth in organic food sales around the world. This, of course, leads to growth in profits. Sales of organic food were more than doubled from 2000 to 2005. Like India, many countries are trying to increase commercial organic farming to get a share of the sales. This has led to criticism. Some people believe that organic farming should not just be about making money. They think the goal is to help the environment. Others say organic farming will not continue if it is not profitable. They say that people should be able to make money while providing food that is healthy to mankind.
【1】What is the text mainly about?
A．That organic food has become much more common.
B．That farming organically is growing around the world.
C．That people do not want to eat food with chemicals in it.
D．That countries all want to make money by farming organically.
【2】The underlined word "dramatic" is the closest in meaning to " ________".
A．gradual
B．huge
C．continuous
D．slight
【3】Why do people want to increase organic farming?
A．Organic food is good for the Earth and human beings.
B．There are fewer chemicals available for farming.
C．More and more people demand chemicals to grow food.
D．Profits from organic farming help make approved programs.
【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A．The African farmers are too poor to use chemicals.
B．Most of the African farmers don't dare to use chemicals.
C．The African farmers don't want to prove they don't use chemicals.
D．The African farmers use a very small amount of land to grow organic food.
23、Qualities of good leaders
Leaders are needed to manage a country or any organization. They are very important people. Under good leaders, the country will be stable and peaceful. In this way, it can make great progress.
【1】 They too need good leaders to lead them. They cannot grow or do well without good management or leaders. Schools too need leaders. They are the headmaster, class monitors, prefects, and game captains. A11 of them have an important role to play to ensure the smooth running of the schoo1. At home, parents are the leaders guiding the family.
【2】 A leader should take his work or position seriously and carry out his duties to the best of his ability. He should always think of what is best for his people, whether they are staff members, family, or any group of people.
A leader is also someone who helps others become more than they ever thought was possible. Leadership is about unlocking potential, whether individual potential or that of a group, company, or organization. 【3】 Instead, it is inspiring them to see what they are capable of and then helping them get there.
Leaders of a country should always put the interests of their people first. They have to be approachable, caring, and concerned about the welfare of those under them. A good leader should be willing to listen to his people’s problems or suggestions. 【4】
It is not easy to be a good and true leader. 【5】 True and good leadership requires one to make sacrifices, including putting others before oneself. He is often the mentor who prompts others to be their best, someone who cares and listens, and is willing to always be there for them.

24、 Living in a green area can make you live longer, according to research published today. The research also shows that the difference in life expectancy(预期寿命) between rich and poor becomes smaller among those who live in an environment with parks and trees.
Richard Mitchell, from Glasgow University and his colleagues, found that the gap between the number of deaths of people on high incomes and the number of deaths of those on low incomes in green areas was half that compared with figures relating to built-up areas.
Green spaces, classified by the researchers as “open, undeveloped land with natural vegetation”, encouraged people to walk and be more active Exercise in these settings could have greater benefits than exercise elsewhere, the researchers said.
The benefits potentially go beyond exercise. Studies have shown that being around green spaces can reduce blood pressure and stress levels, and possibly help patients recover faster.
A number of researchers have looked at the effects of greenery on our well-being. But few studies had looked at whether living in green areas reduced health inequalities, the Glasgowteam said.
Using information from a land-use database of 2001, the researchers divided the pre-retirement population of England into four groups according to income level, and five groups according to access to green space. They then looked at death rate for 2001-2005.
They found that the inequality in death rate from all causes relating to lack of money was less in those populations in the greenest areas compared with the figures for people living in more built-up places. They found an even stronger relationship when it came to deaths from certain diseases such as heart conditions and stroke(中风). There was no difference, however death cancer.
The researchers said that changing the physical environment was an easier way to fight against poor health than using media campaigns or giving out information on health. “The result of the study is clear: Environments that promote good health might be very important in the fight to reduce health inequalities.”
【1】The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refers to______.
A．the gap
B．the number of deaths
C．the income
D．the living area
【2】What was the special point of the Glasgow team’s research?
A．They offered a scientific definition of green spaces.
B．They encouraged people to exercise in green areas.
C．They studied the effects of greenery on people’s health.
D．They focused on the influence of greenery on health inequalities.
【3】What advice would the researchers probably give according to the last paragraph?
A．More health information should be given to the public.
B．People should take more exercise every day.
C．More trees and grass should be planted in cities.
D．People should help to fight against health problems.
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A．People should live in green areas.
B．Green spaces promote good health.
C．Income influences health less than environment.
D．Exercise in green areas benefits people a lot.
