21、Once upon a time, a king dressed up and went to a local village. He placed a large stone in the middle of the main road and hid gold coins under the stone. Then he hid behind a huge tree and watched.

The first person down the street was a milkman with his cart (手推车). He crashed into the stone and the milk spread all over the ground. “What fool put this stone here?” he shouted. He picked himself up and angrily went away.

After a while, a group of women came along, each balancing a pot of water on her head. One woman tripped over (绊倒) the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground. She picked herself up and walked away in tears. Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road.

The king watched all day as many people complained about the stone, but he found nobody was willing to move it. The king wondered, “Is there no one in this village who feels any responsibility to keep their neighbors from harm?”

Just then, the king saw a young girl coming along. She was the daughter of a local farmer. She had been working all day and was very tired. But when she saw the stone, she said to herself, “This stone is a danger to anyone who comes down the road after dark. I ’ll move it out of the way.”

After a great deal of effort, the girt finally moved the stone to the side of the road. Imagine her surprise when she saw the gold coins where the stone had been.

Just then, the king stepped out from behind the tree. “Oh sir,” the girl said. “Are these coins yours? If not, we surely must find the owner, for he will certainly miss them.”

The king said, “My dear, the coins are mine, but now they are yours, because you are the only person who has learnt the lesson I want to teach my people. Nothing good can come to a nation whose people only complain and expect others to solve their problems.”

22、   Many kids help parents to do chores in the house. They may take out the trash, walk the dog or sweep the floor. In return, some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games.

But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Jane Smith, a parenting educator and family coach. She believes if kids get rewards, they may think that work isn't worth doing unless they get something in return. For example, kids won't sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will do it if their parents reward them for it.

“Every house is a team effort，” Jane said, “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have a responsibility to keep our home clean.”

Other people hold different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn about how we need to work to make money.

Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital(电子的) gifts that can be used either online or in life. With the app Chore Monster, kids earn digital points after doing chores. Kids can exchange their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids so they can earn rewards，” says Joe Black, founder of Chore Monster. “Kids need positive(积极的) power to make them do chores.”

【1】Jane Smith thinks that________.

A.housework isn't worth doing

B.kids are not willing to do chores

C.kids should get something in return

D.kids shouldn't get rewards for doing chores

【2】Chore Monster is a(n)________.

A.educator B.coach C.app D.app founder

【3】The meaning of the underlined word “responsibility” in the passage is “________”.

A.waste B.habit C.duty D.price

【4】The purpose of the apps is to________.

A.give kids points and gifts

B.encourage kids to do chores

C.exchange points for real rewards

D.give kids advice on doing chores

【5】What's the main idea of the passage?

A.How to encourage kids to do chores.

B.What kind of chores kids should do.

C.If kids should do chores at home.

D.Whether kids should be rewarded for doing chores.

Painful for Your Ears

Do you often listen to music at loud volumes? You should know that this habit is bad for your hearing, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

The human ear has three different parts. The outer ear is the part you can see. The middle ear and inner ear are inside your head. That doesn't mean those parts can't be hurt. They can be harmed by loud noises. Over one billion young people are at risk of hearing loss due to listening to loud noise for long periods of time, said WHO. Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes can harm your hearing.

Sounds are measured in decibels (dB分贝). A whisper is 30 dB. A friend talking is about 60 dB. The sound of a busy road is about 85 dB and the sound of a rock concert can be about 100 dB. The United Nations has standards for safe listening. It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 dB for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes.

Loud noise is harmful to the inner ear. Most of us are born with about 16,000 hair cells (听毛细胞) in our inner ears. These cells detect (探测) sounds. However, listening to loud noise for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die. This is what causes hearing loss.

Some people might think that their music isn't all that loud. But this can depend on where you are. For example, if you are in a noisy place like the subway, you might turn up your music too loud without realizing it. Later, when you listen to it the same volume in a quiet place, you might feel uncomfortable.

What can be done to protect your hearing? Use noise-canceling (降噪) headphones. These headphones get rid of background noise. You don't need to turn up the volume as much. Keep your device volume at 50 to 60 percent. Limit daily use of headphones. Listen to sound on your mobile devices for a maximum of one hour per day.

The less loud noise you hear, the better!

【1】Listening to loud music causes hearing problems because_______.

A.it can stop our ears from resting

B.it puts our brains under great pressure

C.it can cause hair cells in the inner ear to die

D.it makes people get used to listening to loud sounds

【2】From paragraph 5, we can know_______.

A.people love to listen to loud music

B.people don't always know how loud their music is

C.it's great to listen to music on the subway

D.it's reasonable to listen to loud music in some places

【3】The writer probably agrees that _______.

A.people have to wear headphones while walking on a busy road

B.listening to music on TV is better for hearing than on mobile devices

C.young people should set a time limit of listening to music at loud volumes

D.wearing noise-canceling headphones can stop the outer ears being harmed

25、The undersea world is very beautiful. Now more and more people want to dive (潜水) in the water to find the secrets there. Scuba diving is a new sport today. It can take you into a 【1】 ['wʌndəfl] undersea world.

You will find many strange animals in the sea. Some are as large 【2】 a school bus. Many sea animals give out light in the dark and some have 【3】 [ʃɑːp] teeth.
