21、 Last year, Donald J．Trump made history when he took office as the 45th president of the United States． At 70 years old, he became the oldest elected president． Before Trump, Ronald Reagan was the oldest person to take office． He was 69 years old when he became president in 1981．As the first billionaire president, Trump also replaced John F．Kennedy, the 35th president, as the richest man to serve as president．
Kennedy still holds the record for the youngest person to be elected president． He was 43 when he took office． Kennedy is also the youngest president to die in office． He was assassinated (暗杀) in 1963 when he was 46．
Another presidential assassination actually put the youngest person in the office of the president． In 1901, Theodore Roosevelt, then the vice president, became president at the age of 42．He took office after William McKinley, the 25th president, was shot and killed in Buffalo, New York．
Another Roosevelt holds the record for the longest time in office． Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the 32nd president, held office for 4,422 days． After his death, the 22nd amendment (修正案) was passed． It limited a person to two four-year terms as president． The two Roosevelts were distant relatives.

The Bushes are the other father-son presidential pair． George Herbert Walker Bush was elected as the 4l st president. His son, George W. Bush. was the county’s 43rd president．

22、 In the short time Steve and Zach had been inside their tent packing their tools, wind-blown flame had skipped from the top of one tree to another. The long dry summer had turned the forest into a tinderbox.
“Let’s go! We can make it back to the river we crossed today!” Steve kept Brady on the lead and their heads down against the fire-wind. But Brady barked a sharp warning. Ahead of them lay a thick curtain of smoke across the track. They would never make it through that. The dog was pulling at his lead trying to draw them away from the smoke, and yet Steve was uneasy. It seemed to him that they were moving away from the river.
Suddenly, Zach cried. “Zach!” Steve shouted. “Are you OK? Where are you?” Then Brady pulled Steve down a sharp slope(坡). At its base, Zach was rubbing his ankle.
As Steve helped his friend to his feet, Brady lifted his head and snuffed(嗅) the smoke-laden wind. Next moment, the dog bounded away and disappeared. The boys shouted for him, but he didn’t come back. Steve couldn’t blame Brady for panicking. He himself wanted to run even though he didn’t have a clue which way.
Steve and Zach hadn’t gone far when there was a familiar bark, and Brady came bounding, stopped directly in front of Steve and hit him with his head, pushing him back toward the slope they’d just climbed. But Steve didn’t get it. Then Brady grabbed the boy’s jeans and started pulling. The message was clear, but Steve hesitated. Of course he remembered Brady saving his uncle’s life when the dog was much younger. Was he still sharp enough to get them through this?
Nearby, a pine went up in a whoosh of smoke. Brady pulled again, urgently. “OK, big guy,” Steve gritted(咬紧牙关). Brady led them back down the slope and into the trees. Not far from them fire was touching underbrush. Several times the big dog stopped. Often he changed directions. Steve was so tired that he just wanted to rest, but Brady wouldn’t have it. The dog bullied both boys to go on. How long they’d walked Steve had no idea. He was almost numb when he heard it—the wonderful sound of rushing water!
【1】What happened to Steve and Zach at first?
A. They got injured. B. They lost their dog.

【2】Brady ran away to ______.

23、 People enjoy taking trips. But what are reasons they leave home? One reason is for education.

What does a tourist learn who sees the arts museums, visit the historical places and other scenic spots in Paris and shops along the River Seine? He learns about their attitudes and how they feel about business, beauty and history.
What about the traveler who goes to Hong Kong? Does he get the same information that he could get from a book? He might read that Hong Kong is a crowed that there is less than 200 square meters of space for each person. But seeing and feeling the lack of space will impress him much more.
He might read that there are nearly 200 vehicles(交通工具) for every kilometer of roadway. But the sight of so many vehicles parked along the roadside would be a much more vivid lesson. The traveler to Hong Kong will never forget the contrast（对比）: the straight vertical(垂直的) lines of tall modern buildings and the moving lines of boat that people live in.

24、“Congratulations, Mr. Jones, it’s a girl.”
Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different answer from every man who hears these words. Some feel proud when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good fathers. Although there are some men who like children and may have had a lot of experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.
Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the change from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few tries have been made to educate fathers in this re-socialization process. Although many good books have been written about American mothers, only recently have some books discussed the role of a father.
It is argued by some writers that the transition to the father’s role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to the mother’s role. The mother’s role seems to require a complete transformation of daily routine and adaptation to a new life, on the other hand, the father’s role is less immediate. However, even though we have mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.
【1】According to the author, being a father ________.
A．brings a feeling of excitement to some men
B．has a different meaning for those who have daughters
C．makes some men feel proud and others uneasy
D．means nothing but more responsibilities
【2】It is stated in the passage that ________.
A．some parents are prepared to have a child
B．young couples do not like children at all
C．working couples do not have much time to take care of their children
D．many parents look forward to having a boy as their first child
【3】The transition to the mother’s role requires that the wife ________.
A．changes her life style in a quite different way
B．makes a complete change in her everyday life to deal with the new situation
C．stays at home to take care of the baby
D．helps her husband in his re-socialization process
【4】Some writers argue that in terms of the change of the roles, fathers, compared with mothers, ________.
A．have to do more in the household
B．have to make more difficult adaptations
C．have an easier job to do
D．can usually do a better job

A couple of days ago, there were many people on the bus. Halfway down the road, the driver suddenly stopped the bus by the side of the road and said, “I’m going to have dinner first. I’m hungry. ” Then he began to eat fried rice noodles while talking on the phone. After a while, many passengers urged (催促) the driver to go ahead, but the driver replied rudely, “Can’t you see I’m enjoying my noodles? I’m so hungry.”
After a few minutes someone wanted to get off the bus, but was refused by the driver. He explained that nobody could get off because it was NOT a bus stop! Standing beside the driver, I watched him have the last of the noodles, thinking that we could finally start now. However, the driver took out another bag of soup!
I began to feel a little angry because I would be late for an important meeting. So I urged the driver to hurry up. However, the driver suggested politely that I should ask for a leave.
When the soup was about to be finished, the driver picked up the phone again, looking in the rear-view mirror (后视镜) from time to time as if he were waiting for someone. At this time all the passengers on the bus began to shout, “We have waited too long. Start right now!” Suddenly, a police car stopped in front of our bus. We all thought that the policemen could help us and we could go at once.
Paragraph 1.
To our surprise, the two policemen got on our bus with handcuffs (手铐).
