As I grew _, my life experiences gradually became more diverse (多样的). In many situations, I had no idea how to act properly, what decisions to make, what path to follow; _, I made mistakes. While many of my actions back then turned out for the good in the future, some mistakes provided many painful moments for me and people around me. Mistakes are certain to happen, but they allow us to learn, _ ourselves, and drive us to change for the betterand still sometimes I would like to jump into a time machine, go back a couple of years ago, and make _.Would I try to make other people act in a different way? I think no. I would rather _myself about the awaiting consequences (后果) of my most careless decisions. I would talk to a long-haired teen holding his first cigarette and tell him: “Dont do that.” So many warnings I would give to myself that sometimes I think: was it really me who did this and that?Having a time machine would make life easier. Perhaps, it is true. But what I think more often now is that living without this teaches us responsibility, about oneself, about important people to us, about ones own life. And besides, our _make us what we are today. Today I am a person leading a healthy, active lifestyle; I try to live each day to fullness in order to _nothing.If I could go back in time, I would try to make my _better. This is what our parents always try to do when we are children. But you know what? I am glad that no time machine has been invented.21 . AwiserBolderCstrongerDricher22 .

If the break is small, however, the person may not feel much pain at all. If you think that you or someone else has broken a bone, the most important things to do are to stay calm, make the hurt person comfortable, and call the doctor. Do not move the injured body part since movement could make it worse.To treat the break, the doctor will need to take an X-ray. This gives the doctor the information he or she needs to set (接上) the bone: to put it back to its normal place. If the bone is large or it is broken in more than one place, the doctor may need to use metal pins (钢钉) to set it. After the bone has been set, the next step is usually putting on a cast, the special, hard thing that will keep the bone in place for a month or two.Your bones are excellent at healing themselves. Broken bones will produce many new cells (细胞) and tiny blood vessels (血脉). These cover both ends of the broken part, and close up the break until the bone is as whole and strong as before.29 .

Before Europeans came to North America, many groups of Native Americans lived here. Different Native American groups had different cultures. The first Europeans in the United States were from England and Holland, but immigrants（移民） came from all European countries. Many people also immigrated from Asia and Africa. Sadly, many Africans were brought to the United States to serve the Americans. The life there was hard for them. Many immigrants come from Latin America too. Today, the United States has people from more cultures than ever.In the 19th century, people thought of the United States as a “melting pot”. People thought that all immigrants should forget their native cultures and languages and become English-speaking Americans. They felt that people should assimilate cultures. However, not everyone wanted to assimilate completely. Many people tried to keep parts of their cultures, such as foods, customs, and languages. However, their children often forgot their parents or grandparents language. But most Americans, even those whose families have been here for a long time, can tell the countries their relatives came from. And of course, new immigrants take great pride in their cultures and languages.For all of these reasons, melting pot is no longer a good way to describe the United States. Instead, people now call the United States a “salad bowl”. They say salad bowl because in a salad, you can still see all of the individual parts （lettuce, tomato, and so on）, but all the different parts are mixed together and begin to take on the taste of one another.40 . The first paragraph mainly talks about_ .Ahow many immigrants the United States hasBwhere the immigrants live in the United StatesCwhat culture and language the immigrants keepDwhy the United States is a country of many cultures41 .

The underlined word “assimilate” in the second paragraph means “”.Amake something similarBmake something specialCmake something differentDmake something interesting43 . Why do people call the United States a “salad bowl” now?ABecause Americans can make all the cultures into one culture.BBecause Americans all want to eat salad to be healthy very much.CBecause Americans want their country to be as “green” as “salad”.DBecause Americans can make different cultures go together in one country.五、语法填空请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后用方框中所给的词的适当形式填空，每个词限用一次。When do you sleep every night ?
