22、Everyone knows how the story of Cinderella does everything from sweeping the floor to cooking the meals before she meets the prince. If someone asked Cinderella, “Are there any kinds of household work that you particularly hate?” She probably would answer , “Why , none , of course. Housework is my duty!” In the real world, however, most people have certain dislikes for some kinds of household work. Two of these tasks are ironing（熨）clothes and washing dishes.
Ironing clothes is most hated because it is not a task that can be completed quickly or thoughtlessly. Each piece of clothing must be handled（处理）separately, so ironing a basket of them can take hours! If you do not follow directions carefully, it might become wrinkled and you have to start over. Perhaps that is why ironing is not a favorite thing to do. It calls for extreme attention to detail from beginning to end.
Another household job that many people dislike is washing dishes. Of course, some people claim that this work is no longer a problem because , we have dishwashers now! However, no one would argue that dishes, silverware, and especially pots and pans washed in a dishwasher don’t come out as clean as they do when washed by hand. For this reason, many of us continue to wash our dishes. And it is a job that not only takes a lot of energy but also requires the patience to wash and dry them. In addition, unlike ironing clothes, washing dishes is a thing that usually must be done every day. I don’t know how Cinderella felt about this particular task, but I believe that most people hate it as much as I do.
【1】For Cinderella, doing household work is __________.
A. what she hates to do
B. what she is responsible for
C. what she loves to do
D. what she is content with
【2】 Most people hate to do clothes-ironing because _________.
A. it takes a lot of time
B. it has to be done by one person
C. it must be handled skillfully
D. it needs careful planning
【3】 Many people still prefer washing dishes by hand to machine washing because _________.
A. hand washed dishes are cleaner
B. dishwashers are not so easily handled
C. some dishes cannot be washed by machine
D. washing dishes by hand is cheaper
【4】Ironing is different from washing dishes in that _________.
A. it requires patience
B. it is not a daily housework
C. it is not tiring
D. it needs less care
23、Competition is all around us and it makes the strong stronger and weak weaker. It can also teach us how to survive in a fast-paced and stressful world. 【1】 How many of us have seen young boys weeping because their teams didn’t win inter-school tournament? How many of us have seen young teenagers cheat just to win? 【2】. So it’s important to develop healthy competition among children.
When it comes to encouraging healthy competition among children, the first thing to do is set goals for them to stick to. 【3】.
Since children may be easily affected by wrong ideas from popular media and the Internet, it’s up to you to develop the right kind of spirit in them. Team spirit will help them grow into human beings who aren’t easily annoyed by small losses or too excited by victors. 【4】 So give them examples where family members refused to cheat to win.
【5】 When they take an exam, don’t ask about how much they expect to score. Instead, ask what they wrote about. If your son played a cricket match at school, don’t ask him whether his team won or lost; ask him how many runs he scored and encourage him to score higher next time instead. When you let you children know that you’re more interested in how they performed rather than whether they lost or won, they will surely try to better themselves.
A．However children can be hit by competition.
B．These are the effects of unhealthy competition.
C．Sending your children the right signals is also important.
D．We should also encourage healthy communication among children.
E．Care more about children’s mood rather than then results in a sports match.
F．However, you mustn’t push them too hard and burden them with too high a goal.
G．In addition, they may also not want to adopt any method to win, like cheating or lying.
24、When it comes to generation gap ( 代沟), we usually think of different tastes in music, or games. But now the generation gap is handwriting. After one teacher in Tennessee discovered that she had students who couldn't read what she was writing on the board, she posted it on the Internet saying that handwriting should be taught in schools.
Others who are against it argue that handwriting has become out of time in our modern world. Typed words have become a main form of communication. Once a practical skill, handwriting is no longer used by most of Americans. It is no longer taught in schools, and some claim that the time that it would take to teach it could be put to better use, for example, by teaching the technical skills.
But even in today's world there are still plenty of reasons to pick up a pen and write on the paper. In America, signatures (签字) by hand are still often requested, for example, signing for a registered letter and buying a house. And original signatures are much more difficult to fake (伪造).
There is also strong evidence that writing by hand is good for the mind. It makes a different part of the brain active and improves fine moving skills in young children. People are also more likely to remember what they write by hand than what they type, and the process of writing by hand has been shown to stimulate ideas. Not only those, studies have shown that kids who write by hand learn to read and spell earlier than those who don't.
Yes, we live in a modern world, but we live in a modern world of basic and important values.
【1】What did the teacher find in her class?
A. Her students were too lazy to follow her class. B. Her handwriting was too terrible to understand.
C. There was something wrong with some students’ eyes. D. Some students could not recognize her written words on the board.
【2】Some people are against handwriting teaching because they think ________.
A. technical skills are more important than handwriting. B. handwriting is no longer used in society
C. it's difficult to fake typed signatures D. nobody can practice good handwriting in school
【3】How many advantages does handwriting have for the mind?
A. 3 B. 4
C. 7 D. 8
【4】The underlined word“stimulate”in Paragraph 4 probably means_________.
A. cause B. collect
C. exchange D. influence
