21、My daughter and I collected the empty cans and bottles in our home this morning．We had 6 full garbage bags later so I knew we would be spending a bit more of time at the recycling center．When we got there，a man and his kids were also doing the morning recycling and were using two of the four machines to recycle their plastic and cans．Luckily，we were able to use the 2 remaining machines．

Of course，there were others that came，but when they saw the two families with garbage bags full of recycled things，they quickly left．However，one woman came in with just 5 cans and looked as if she was in a hurry．So I stopped what I was doing and let her in to recycle her cans．Of course，she was grateful，and it felt good to let her go ahead of me．But that was not the whole story．

My daughter and I continued to work through the bags，but the plastic recycling machine stopped working because it was full．My daughter was left with nothing to do．The other family was still using the other two plastic recycling machines，but it seemed that they were almost done．I just told my daughter we would have to wait until they were done．But the man of the other family came through with another act of kindness．He offered to let us go ahead of him．I was really surprised，because we had more than 5 bottles，but he didn’t seem to mind．I happily accepted it．

It was great to give and then to get an act of kindness in turn．It was small，I didn't expect it，but it surely brightened up my day．

22、If we are to help students develop reading skills in a foreign language, it is important to understand what is involved in the reading process itself. If we have a clear idea of how “good readers” read, either in their own or a foreign language, this will enable us to decide whether particular reading techniques are likely to help learners or not.

In considering the reading process, it is important to distinguish between two quite separate activities: reading for meaning (or “silent reading”) and reading aloud. Reading for meaning is the activity we normally engage in when we read books, newspapers, road signs, etc.; it is what you are doing as you read this text. It involves looking at sentences and understanding the message they convey, in other words “making sense” of a written text. It doesn’t normally involve saying the words we read, not even silently inside our heads.

Reading aloud is a completely different activity; its purpose is not just to understand a text but to convey the information to someone else. It is not an activity we engage in very often outside the classroom; common examples are reading out parts of a newspaper article to a friend, or reading a notice to other people who can’t see it. Obviously, reading aloud involves looking at a text, understanding it and also saying it. Because our attention is divided between reading and speaking, it is a much more difficult activity than reading silently; we often stumble and make mistakes when reading aloud in our own language, and reading aloud in a foreign language is even more difficult.

When we read for meaning, we do not need to read every letter or every word, nor even every word in each sentence. This is because, if the text makes sense, we can guess much of what it says as we read it.

【1】The passage is mainly about ____________.

A. reading skills B. silent reading

C. reading processes   D. reading aloud

【2】The underlined word “stumble” in Paragraph 3 means ____________.

A. step over something and fall

B. repeat something or pause for too long

C. walk with heavy movements

D. speak in a fluent and confident way

【3】 We can infer from the passage that the author will continue to ____________.

A. discuss in detail how to read aloud

B. introduce some more reading activities

C. tell how good readers read in their own language

D. explain why we needn’t say the words when reading for meaning

【4】We can conclude that ____________.

A. reading silently is easier than reading aloud

B. to understand a sentence, you have to read all the words in it

C. silent reading involves looking at a text and saying the words silently to yourself

D. there’s no difference between reading in one’s own language and in a foreign one

23、Shakespeare once wrote: “Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend”. It’s often paraphrased and used as a warming about the dangers of lending, and how you could risk a friendship through it.【1】

If our friend or family member comes to us for hard cash, it can be very difficult to turn them away. You feel under pressure to help. 【2】 So how can we, as the lender, avoid these complications （纠纷）？ According to Bradley T. Klontz, an expert in financial psychology, there are some steps you can take.

Understanding why there is an unavoidable risk to lending anything to a friend is the first thing.【3】 This is because, psychologically speaking, the action of lending has changed the balance of power. The lender becomes superior, while the borrower may feel awkward with the new arrangement. Likewise, if you try to advise them on what to do with the money, it might make things difficult between you two.

【4】 Saying ‘no’ is hard when a friend comes asking, but if you need that money, denying them is probably the safest course of action. If you still feel the need to lend, making a legally binding （具有法律约束力的） agreement and putting things down in writing could guarantee deadlines.【5】

Finally, for some, it’s best to just see the money as a gift and be pleasantly surprised if something comes back. And if you do want to preserve your friendship, perhaps a bank is a better option.

A．And if you can’t afford to lend something, don’t.

B．But why can lending money be so harmful to our friendships?

C．If you do decide you want to lend money, be sure to write up an agreement.

D．And if that money doesn’t come back, it can lead to fights or even legal battles.

E．It’s not just the risk of losing the money, but the friendship could also be in danger.

F．Even if you’re sure that the borrower will pay you back, it’s hard to know if you should continue.

G．But, some friends may not like the idea of being asked to make it official-seeing it as a lack of trust.

24、It’s a popular belief that a fish’s memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been, and they don’t recognize you or any of their friends --- every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.

But don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago.

In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again.

Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.

In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past “fights”. But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.

Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild.

“If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risks,” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.

For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.

【1】According to the article, people used to believe that _______.

A. fish could only remember part of their past experiences

B. fish could remember things that happened 12 days ago

C. a fish’s memory lasted for only seven minutes

D. fish didn’t recognize any of their friends

【2】How can fish benefit most from a good memory? They can remember _______.

A. where to get food and survive

B. their enemies and fight

C. where to escape to when in danger

D. their friends and help each other

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Fish behave aggressively in a fight.

B. Fish can remember more.

C. Fish don’t belong to the list of smart animals.

D. Only African cichlids have a good memory.
