21、Everyone wants to be perfect. Finding a good way to achieve self­improvement (自我提高) is more and more popular. For this, the beginning of a new term is a great time to think about ways that you can improve in the coming school year. Here are some suggestions for New term’s resolutions(决心).

Firstly, make sure your goal is realistic (现实的). Winning the lottery (彩票), for example, may not come true. Then, describe your resolutions in detail, instead of “I don’t want to be lazy”, or “I want to exercise every day”. At last, change large goals into small ones. For example, if you want to lose weight, you can start by exercise.

Our new term’s resolutions and goals can be about anything, from saving more money so that you can buy a really cool toy, to making more friends, or to spending more time with your family. Start by writing down some goals on a piece of paper. After you finish, keep the paper somewhere you can see, like on your fridge or a wall in your room. Don’t forget to check the things on the paper if you complete.

22、One day a boy was walking along the street. Suddenly he stopped and looked up into the sky.

After a while there were quite some people. They were interested in the clear blue sky.

Suddenly the boy asked, “Hey, what are all of you looking up at?” “That’s what we are going to ask you,” said the young man. “You want to ask me? But I wasn’t looking at anything,” said the boy. “I raised my head upward(向上) because my nose bled(流血). That’s a terrible thing.”

23、   Many people say dolphins are intelligent. They seem to be able to think, understand and learn things quickly. But are they as smart as humans, or are they more like cats and dogs? Dolphins use their brains quite differently from the way humans do. But scientists say dolphins and humans are very similar in some ways. How?

Like humans, every dolphin has its own “name”. The name is a special whistle(哨声). Each dolphin chooses a specific(特有的) whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. Dolphins are like people in other ways, too. They “talk” to each other about a lot of things—such as their age, their feelings, and finding food. They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. Understanding dolphin conversation is not easy for humans. No one “speaks dolphin” yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.

Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups called pods, and they often join others from different pods to play games and have fun—just like people. Scientists believe playing together is something only intelligent animals do.

Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: both species make plans for getting things they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an intelligent plan to get food. When there are fish near a boat, dolphins signal(发信号) to the fishermen to put their nets in the water. Using this method, the men can catch a lot of fish. Why do dolphins help the men? There is an advantage for them: they get to eat some of the fish that escape(逃脱) from the net.

【1】What is a dolphin's “name”？

A.It is a kind of game.

B.It is a body sign.

C.It is a dolphin's age.

D.It is a specific sound.

【2】Scientists believe ________ is something only intelligent animals do.

A.singing songs B.playing together C.finding food D.making decisions

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A.Some scientists can understand dolphins' system of sounds.

B.Dolphins probably help fishermen by using their body language.

C.Humans join dolphins' groups to get things we want.

D.Dolphins can talk to humans about their age and their feelings.

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

A.Dolphins can communicate with each other at birth.

B.Dolphins are social animals because they play together.

C.Dolphins are smart and are like humans in some ways.

D.Dolphins help humans do many things like catching fish.

24、   China isn’t famous for its science fiction films, but recently a new film called The Wandering earth has become a great success.It tells an amazing story of Earth in danger,along with exciting scenes of spaceships and outer space.
