25、 “How was school today?” Ethan’s mom asked as he climbed into the car. “Fine,” Ethan answered.
“What did you do?” she tried to start a conversation.
“Nothing.” Ethan answered and turned his attention to his phone.
Ethan’s mom sighed. “Your grandmother and I used to have actual conversations.” “Huh?” Ethan wasn’t really listening.
“Nothing,” his mother said sadly.
Ten minutes later, Ethan finally looked up from his phone. “What are we doing here?” he asked, noticing they were at an unknown supermarket.
“Grandma is coming over for dinner tonight and we need to buy something for her favorite strawberry cheesecake. I thought you could help me make it.”
Ethan hated shopping, and he would play his favorite video game rather than bake for a whole afternoon. However, he knew his grandmother would love the cheesecake, so he agreed unwillingly.

It was great to see his grandmother again at dinner too. The last time they met was several weeks ago, and he realized that he had a lot to tell her.
“Wow, Ethan, I don’t think I’ve heard you speak this much in a long time,” Ethan’s mom smiled.
“Well, when you were Ethan’s age, Norah,” Ethan’s grandmother said gently to his mother,“you used to spend your whole life in your room!” Ethan’s mother turned pink, “That’s not true, mom!”

26、
Earth is about 75% water. But most of that water is salty. Only about 2.5% of Earth’s water is fresh water — the kind we can drink and that plants need to grow. Much of Earth’s fresh water is locked up in ice caps. In all, just 1% of Earth’s water can be used for washing, drinking, cooking, and watering crops.
In some countries, people don’t usually worry about having enough clean, fresh water. People just turn on a faucet(水龙头) and there it is. In some countries, though, water is scarce(稀缺的). People in Africa, Asia, and Latin America have serious water shortages.
What causes water shortages? In some places, well water is being used faster than wells can refill. In other places, droughts — long periods without enough rain—mean there is not enough water. Some parts of the United States are now having water problems because of drought. Evaporation(蒸发) is a big problem in some parts of the world. When the sun shines on water, the water turns into vapor(水蒸气) and rises into the air. The water is gone before it can do any good. The ground becomes dry. Nothing can grow. Not all fresh water is safe to drink. Water in wells, lakes, and rivers may have bad things that cause illness. When water is dirty, it can be dangerous to drink. Dirty water is making children sick. It is dangerous to get a drink or even wash your hands.
But the news isn’t all bad. Mansoor Ali, who works for the United Nations, says water problems can be solved. Kids and adults are learning how to protect water and how to use it wisely.

【4】According to the text, washing your hands with the dirty water is ________.

27、 My dear son,
Your letter of last week reached us yesterday, and I enclose ＄13, which is all I have on me at present. I may sell the other pig next week and make up the balance of what you wanted. I will probably have to wear the old buffalo overcoat to meetings again this winter, but that doesn’t matter so long as you are getting education.
I hope you will get your education as cheap as you can, for it cramps your mother and me like a hill to put up the money Mind you. I don’t complain. I know the clothes cost so much.
I want you to be educated so that you can go anyway and spell the hardest word, I want you to be able to go among the Romans or the Medes and Persians and talk to any of them in their own native tongue.

Now, regarding that boat - padding suit, and that baseball suit, and that bathing suit, and that roller- rinkturn suit, and that lawn-lennis suit, mind. I don’t care about the money, because you say a young man can’t really educate himself thoroughly without them, but I wish you’d send home what you get through with this fall, and I’ll wear them through the winter under my other clothes. We have a much colder winter here than we used to, or else I’m failing in bodily health. Last winter I tried to go through without underclothes, the way I did when I was a boy, but a cold wave came down our way and picked me out of a crowd.
Your daddy

28、Fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词,首字母已给)
One day I was driven by a rain-storm to take shelter in a little hut by the road-side, which was used by a shoe-maker as his workshop to fix shoes. The man and his son were busy with their work; and after saying, "Good day," we began to talk together.
Before I had been with them long, the old man sent his son out to get something that he needed for his repair. His son was only one kilometre away, but it was too long for the h【1】 shoe-maker to be free. He at last took up a piece of leather and began to work on it, saying, "You know, sir, it will never do to waste time."
As soon as the rain was over, I went on my way home, thinking over what I had heard, "It will never do to waste time." Some people are always lazy, others are lazy only now and then. I was one of the second ones. I couldn't f 【2】 my attention all the time. So the old man's words came home with me and I began to feel how w【3】it was to waste so much of my life in laziness.
I had often heard and read that laziness was great h 【4】; but now I begin to see that it causes far more disadvantages than people are aware of. They don't know the wasted time never goes back.
When a man is busy, he is said to be "occupied." What does that mean? It means that a man at work is like a house with people living in it. When our minds are full of our work, there is no s【5】 for anything else. Laziness, on the other hand, is emptiness; and when the mind is empty, then the doors are thrown open, and bad thoughts come in to influence your pure heart. When it once gets hold of a man, the habit of laziness isn't e【6】 got rid of.
I have made up my mind to follow the shoe-maker's rule for the rest of my life. Although it was very hard at first, I stick to it because I learn to r【7】 myself not to waste time. Above all, I decide that my mind should never be empty.
