24、   Bath, 97 miles west of London, is the largest city in Somerset, England. It became a World Heritage Site in 1987.

25、   For many years, man couldn’t fly. Birds can fly with their wings. It’s very easy for them to fly but it was very difficult for man because man hasn’t got wings.

The first plane was made of pieces of wood and some other things. Two brothers, Wilbur and Orville Wright, built it.

When the two brothers were still very young, they often watched birds flying in the sky. When they were older, they started to “make the thing that can fly”.

In 1903, Wright brothers did their flying test at Kitty Hawk. The date was December 17. The time was the middle of winter. It was fine that day and the sky was clear.

At half past ten in the morning, the two brothers began their flying test. Orville lay on the bottom wing of his plane and started to fly. The plane went higher and higher into the sky!

For the first time in history man could fly!

26、   Lin Hanxing is a 30-year-old who lives in Beijing. She owns just five shirts, two pairs of trousers, four pairs of shoes, three books and a few other things. It’s hard to believe that only five years ago, Lin was one of those people who couldn’t stop buying things. Back then, she had more than 400 pieces of clothes and handbags. But that was before she saw an online challenge in 2014, introduced by Joshua Becker, a writer in the US who was promoting (推动) a minimalist lifestyle. He encouraged people to reduce the number of their belongings (财物) to fewer than 100. Lin decided to give it a try. She threw away 90 percent of her belongings. She also cleared 120 people she never spoke to from her QQ and Wechat. After doing all that, Lin said she felt ‘lighter’.

We used to think owning more was the way to lead a rich life. But now many people believe that owning less is rich, perhaps richer.

According to US writer Joel Stillerman, people who are educated and wealthy are more likely to have a minimalist lifestyle. These people are saying, ‘I can afford to have less.’

But leading a minimalist lifestyle doesn’t only mean owning or spending less. Adam Lucacias from a UK research company Euromonitor found young people spend less on belongings, but more on short holidays and visits to the movies.

‘They are looking for a life that is all about culture.’ Alison Angus, the manager of Euromonitor, said.

So perhaps it all comes down to how we define (定义) ‘wealth’. Is wealth in life about buying more and owning more, or is it about learning more and experiencing more?

【1】Which of the following leads a minimalist lifestyle?

A. Alison Angus. B. Adam Lucacias.

C. Joe Stillerman. D. Joshua Becker.

【2】What does the underlined sentence mean？

A. I can live a good life with no more education and money.

B. I can live a good life by experiencing less and learning more.

C. I can live a good life with necessary belongings and friends.

D. I can live a good life with less money and fewer belongings.

【3】Lin Hanxing’s definition of ‘wealth’ may probably cover __________.

A. Owning fewer friends B. doing more learning

C. Having more holidays D. Chatting less often with people

27、   On May 3, 2007, in a city in Portugal（葡萄牙）, the Smiths, discovered that their 4-year-old daughter was missing from their hotel room. Some famous people, such as David Beckham and J.K. Rowling from their homeland, Britain, paid attention to the story. But the story also became a great discussion.

The great discussion seems to be focused on culture differences and customs of many countries. In the UK, as well as in the US, most parents are against making their children in second-hand smoke, loud music, or in a bar. So, they don't bring their children to bars. However, in Portugal and other countries in southern Europe, parents think it's OK to bring their young children with them to bars. The discussion is becoming a culture war, or at least that is how the TV or newspaper is describing it.

"Let's now look back at the hours before the little girl's loss. The Smiths and their 3 young children were in Portugal on vacation. On May 3, the parents decided to go for drinks at 2 nearby bar. They left their 3 sleeping children, Kate aged 4, and her brother and sister, both aged 2, alone in their hotel room while they went out. Clearly, this was not the first time they have left their children alone, and the parents seem to have no regret（后悔）for doing so."

A.a war between two countries.

B.a volunteer activity to find the girl.

C.a competition between Portuguese reporters and English ones.

D.a discussion about going to bars.

【4】The last paragraph tells us ________.

A.it's the first time for the Smiths to leave their children alone

B.the Smiths are not good parents

C.the Smiths often leave their children alone and think it is an accident this time

29、   Is there anything that could help parents understand their kids better? More than 8，000 kids answered this question in an online survey by Time for Kids and Kids Health. org.

Many kids — two out of three(2/3) — said they _______ their parents. But that doesn’t mean they _______ disagree. In fact, most kids reported _________ with their parents on occasion(偶尔). Some even reported that their arguments included yelling(大喊) at each other.

“It’s certainly _________ to disagree and argue,” says D’Arcy Lyness, a child psychologist(心理学家). “But it’s also important to learn how to do so respectfully(恭敬地).”

Not surprisingly, three out of four(3/4) kids said they had _________ to their parents on occasion. Many said they lie _______ they won’t get in trouble or disappoint their parents. According to Lyness, lying can have bad _______. If kids lie when they’re young, they might continue a pattern of lying even as adults.

Telling the truth, on the other hand, shows maturity(成熟). But older kids actually lie more _________ than younger ones. Kids ages 12 to 14 not only said they lie more, but they also reported having _________ fun, feeling less close and not getting along as well with their parents.

According to Lyness, these feelings are not uncommon. As kids become more __________, they have more areas of disagreement with their parents. But it doesn’t have to be that way. “Kids and parents get along differently at each stage of the journey,” she says. “As kids grow and change, it is important for everybody to change.”
