Recently her parents brought her to town to live with them. Wild and uneducated, she would swear or use dirty words when she was displeased. Sometimes she went so far as to roll on the ground, to the shock of all people around. Her parents tried to tame her by beating and kicking, only to result in move violent outbursts. Finally they became thoroughly disappointed with her. One day their next-door neighbor, a retired woman teacher, gave the girl a snow-white dress, which was very beautiful. It immediately caught the girls eyes and make them shine brightly. The girl put on the dress and became quite another person. She no longer abused or hit others, even less rolled on the floor. She knew running wild was beneath her in such a beautiful dress. Since then the girl has been gentle, neat, and lovely. The story set me thinking a lot. Perhaps everyone has a beautiful dress hidden somewhere in his or her heart. Only some people are not aware of it, forget it or give it up. Beauty is a power force or weapon-thats something unrealized by many of us. It can arouse fine qualities that humans are born with but have so far hidden somewhere. It has a soul-shaking influence that is indeed unmatched.21. What does the underlined word “swear” in paragraph 1 mean?A. Say something ugly. B. Laugh out loud. C. Keep silent. D. Take action.22.

The passage is written to tell us _ .A. education is important to children. B. beauty can arouse fine qualities in us B. beauty exists everywhere. D. children all like beautiful dresses B To extinguish (熄灭) different kinds of fires, several types of fire extinguishers have been invented. They must be ready for immediate use when fire breaks out. Most portable (手提式的) kinds operate for less than a minute, so they are useful only on small fires. The law requires ships, trains, buses and planes to carry extinguishers. Since fuel, oxygen (氧气) and heat must be present in order for fire to exist, one or more of these things must be removed or reduced to extinguish a fire. If the heat is reduced by cooling the material below a certain temperature, the fire goes out. The cooling method is the most mon way to put out a fire. Water is the best cooling material because it is low in cost and easy to get. Another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting off the oxygen. This is usually done by covering the fire with sand, steam or some other things. A blanket may be used do cover a small fire. A third method is called separation, which includes removing the fuel, or material easy to burn, from a fire, so that it can find no fuel. The method that is used to put out a fire depends upon the type of fire. Fires have been grouped in three classes. Fires in wood, paper, cloth and the like are called Class A fires. These materials usually help keep the fire on. Such fires can be stopped most readily by cooling with water.25. If a fire breaks out on a bus, which of the following should be ready there for you touse according to the passage? A. Sand B. Water C. A blanket D. An extinguisher26. Covering a small piece of burning wood with a basin in order to stop the fire is an example of _. A. separating the fire B. reducing the heat. B. removing the fuel D. cutting off the oxygen27. In choosing how to put out a fire, we should first be clear about _. A. when it breaks out B. how it es about C. what kind of fire it is D. where it takes place28. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follow? A. Another two classes of fires B. Another type of extinguishers C. How fires break out . D. How fires can be prevented CYour mornings decide the entire course of your day, as the mood that you get in the morning stays with you all day long.
