21、   I had just won a bidding for a 1950s cookie tin full of memories at an estate sale. Delighted at my victory, I took the box and gave it a shake. The contents rattled. Inside were hundreds of buttons, pins, and other items, all glittering in the sunlight. As a girl, I'd always enjoyed digging through my mom's box, just as my daughters enjoyed looking through mine.

My eye caught the movement of a swing on the front porch of the house. An old woman watched the happenings in her yard. As I carried my purchases to my car, I stopped to chat with her. She told me she was selling almost all her possessions because she was moving to a nursing home.

Her eyes fell to the button box, and when she looked up, they were glistening with tears. I took the lid off the tin, and her rough hands lifted a handful of buttons and then slowly dropped them back into the container. Her fist closed around a delicate pearl button, now yellow with age. "It was from my first husband's uniform," she said. "It's one of the few things that remind me of him when he didn't return home alive." They had been married seven months before he left to serve his country in World War II.

As we sifted through the box together, we found hairpins ranging from black to brown to shades of gray and even white; a key to a music box that played a special love song; garter clips, wooden nickels, ruby buttons; all took her further down memory lane. I learned about her wedding, the birth of her children, and much more of the life she'd led for 89 years.

After our chat, I set the woman's box of memories down on the swing and slid my hands into hers. I knew we would talk again, when I went to visit her at her new home. And I knew that when l reached my own home, my heart would pull me to my sewing room, where I would rediscover my own lifetime of memories in my own button box.

【1】How did the author feel when she got the tin?

A.Curious. B.Regretful.

C.Joyful. D.Embarrassed.

【2】What can we infer about the old woman from the text?

A.She was to sell her house and move to a new one.

B.She had to sell many things to make ends meet.

C.She didn't marry again after her husband died.

A.Examined. B.Picked.

C.Carried. D.Decorated.

【4】What does the button box represent?

A.Antiques that add history to a place.

22、If you’ve ever learned a new language, you know how difficult it can be. Learning a new language, especially after early childhood, can be a huge task, burdened by long vocabulary lists to memorize, and troublesome tenses to master. However, it’s worth the effort. In today’s interconnected world, learning a new language can change your life. It will certainly change your brain.

John Grundy, a neuroscientist in bilingualism and the brain at Iowa State University, explains when you learn a new language, your brain gets rearranged, new connections are made and new pathways are formed. Grundy offers a useful analogy (类比): Imagine that you always take the same route to work. Then one day, the road is washed out. Now what? If you’d varied your route over the years, you’d have options already in mind. You could hop on another road. “It’s really just a remodeling of the brain that allows it to become more efficient,” Grundy says.

A 2012 study found that this remodeling can be significant. After three months of intense language study, recruits at the Swedish Armed Forces Interpreter Academy had increases in cortical (脑皮层的) thickness in areas associated with language processing.

And the remodeling doesn’t help with only language functions. Ashley Chung-Fat-Yim, who researches bilingualism at Northwestern University, says knowing a second language can help prevent cognitive decline. “There is a consistent finding that bilinguals are able to stave off symptoms of dementia (失智症) for about four to six years compared to monolinguals,” says Grundy.

If you’re thinking it’s too late, you’re probably wrong. When it comes to adding on a new one, adults aren’t at as much of a disadvantage as you might think. Chung-Fat-Yim says it’s not so much the age at which you learn a new language as the way you learn it. If you practice a lot and immerse yourself in the language, you can see the benefits at any age, especially when you get older.

【1】What can we know about learning a new language from the text?

A．It is risky.

B．It is effortless.

C．It is rewarding.

D．It is enjoyable.

【2】What happens to your brain when you learn a new language?

A．It becomes messy.

B．It becomes stable.

C．It gets more efficient.

D．It gets less creative.

【3】What do the underlined words “stave off” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Extend.

B．Delay.

C．Show.

D．Worsen.

【4】What message does Chung-Fat-Yim try to convey in the last paragraph?

A．It’s never too late to learn.

B．He who laughs last laughs best.

C．The early bird catches the worm.

D．Slow and steady wins the race.

24、   Empathy (同理心) is one of those strange qualities-something almost everyone wants, but few know how to truly give or receive it. In a world where self - satisfaction is emphasized, it is in short supply but high demand. This is all the more reason to teach the next generation what it means to have empathy for those around them.

What Is Empathy? Many people confuse sympathy and empathy, but they are two distinct values. Empathy is not just the ability to understand someone’s feelings; criminals often take advantage of people by appearing to understand their feelings and subsequently gaining their trust. Empathy is more than that. Not only is it the ability to recognize how someone feels, but it also values and respects the feelings of another person. It means treating others with kindness, dignity, and understanding.

Kids Need To See Adults Show Empathy—While some children are gifted with naturally kind hearts, in most cases kids need to see empathy modeled by the adults around them. It begins with the way parents relate to their children. Parents who show an interest in the things that matter to their kids and respond to emotions in a positive and caring way are teaching the skill of empathy.

Meet Emotional Needs—When children have their emotional needs met, two things happen. They learn how to meet the emotional needs of others and they are anchored in what they are receiving, meaning that they are secure enough to give to others when the need arises but first they need to receive. An empty jug cannot fill a cup.

It’s a good idea to talk to kids about emotions and how other people experience them. Give their emotions names ( for example, jealousy, anger, and love) and teach them that these are normal. Talk to them about how to handle emotions in a positive way and point out situations where other people are experiencing emotions. Teach them about respecting the emotions of others and show them how to act in a situation where a response is required.

【1】Why are the next generation taught to have empathy?

A.People tend to center themselves. B.Everyone needs empathy.

C.Empathy is a strange quality. D.It’s better to give than to receive.

【2】Which situation can empathy be used in?

A.When a mathematician is calculating the area of a farmland.

B.When a teacher is comforting a student about his failure in exams.

C.When a criminal is cheating a victim.

D.When a dancer is dancing to music.

【3】What does the underlined sentence “An empty jug cannot fill a cup” mean?

A.An empty jug is too small to hold a cup.

B.It’s a must to talk to kids about emotions.

C.Adults should set an example to kids.

D.Kids give empathy with their emotional needs met first.

【4】What is the best tile of the passage?

A.How to train kids to have empathy.

B.How to distinguish sympathy and empathy.

C.How to help kids finish empathy-related tasks.

D.Whether kids can be trained to be more empathetic.

25、The first prize usually goes to the swiftest, but sometimes, the first one to cross the finish line isn't the only winner. Nowhere was that more _________ than in a recent race in Shelbyville, Indiana.

With less than half a mile to go, Levi LaGrange from Western Boone High School _________ tripped, twisting his ankle. He signaled to Sheridan High School senior Axel Aleman that he could _________ him, but in that instant, the race became a less important _________ for Aleman. "I saw he was in great pain," Aleman recalled. "As I got closer to him, he was _________ to move…I asked if he was _________ . He said he felt like something broken.”

In an extraordinary act of true sportsmanship, Aleman _________ to leave LaGrange behind. Placing an encouraging hand at his _________ back, Aleman _________ with LaGrange for the remainder of the __________ . The two crossed the finish line and Aleman even ensured LaGrange went first.

LaGrange's mother was __________ by Aleman's thoughtful __________ —especially since the two had never met before. “It takes a lot for an 18-year-old to __________ his spot," she said. “Axel never left Levi's side." Aleman's own mother,   __________ , was not at all surprised by her son's goodwill. “It really speaks to Axel's __________ . He is always concerned about others more than himself," she said.

When you're standing at a crossroad—or running by it—you can choose the path of __________ , or you can go the extra mile for someone __________ . For this teen athlete, the __________ is clear.
