Nobody knows what bombs were supposed to hit during the war, but they landed in an orphanage（孤儿院）. Two children were killed, and several were injured, including a girl about eight years old, who suffered wounds to her legs. Without immediate action, she would die from loss of blood and shock.
A quick blood typing showed that several of the uninjured children could help. Then the doctor tried to explain to the frightened children that unless they could give some blood to their little friend she would certainly die. He asked if anyone would be willing to give blood. After several long moments, a little hand slowly went up, dropped back down, and a moment later went up again.
It was Jasper.
He was quickly laid on a bed, his arm cleaned, and a needle was put into his arm. Through all of this, he lay stiff（僵硬的）and silent. After a moment, he let out a long cry, quickly covering his face with his free hand.
“Is it hurting, Jasper?” the doctor asked.
Jasper shook his head silently, but after a few moments more tears came, and again he tried to cover up his crying. Again the doctor asked him if the needle was hurting, and again Jasper shook his head. But now he was silently crying, his eyes held tightly shut, his fist in his mouth trying to stop his sobs.
The doctor now was worried that something was very wrong. At this point, a nurse came and had a face-to-face talk with the boy. After a moment, the little boy stopped crying, and looked questioningly at her. When she nodded, a look of great relief spread over his face.
It turned out that Jasper thought he was dying. He thought he had to give all his blood so the little girl could live.
“But why would you be willing to do that, anyway?” asked the doctor.
“She’s my friend.” answered the boy simply.
24．How badly was the girl injured?
A．She would die without being given blood.
B．She would never be able to walk again.
C．She would have to get her legs removed.
D．She would get better after some bed rest.
25．Why did Jasper cry so much when giving blood?
A．Because he was worried about his friend. B．Because he thought he would die.
C．Because he could not stand the pain. D．Because he had never given blood before.
26．Which of the following is the best title for the story?
A．A Hero During the War B．The Gift of Life
C．Jasper and His Friend D．A Misunderstanding in Hospital

We all need to eat, and when we go to buy food at the supermarket, we’re offered many choices. But we often buy food that’s been produced in huge amounts and that’s travelled many miles before it ends up on our plate. So for some, growing their own food is a better choice—and it tastes good too!
From growing vegetables in little pots on your balcony（阳台）to taking care of a small piece of land, there are many ways to produce home-grown food. It can be backbreaking work-digging, weeding and watering the soil, but the result is fresh, home-grown fruits and vegetables, helping us keep a “five-a-day” diet.
The recent Covid-19 pandemic（新冠疫情）lockdown means demand for homegrown food has seen a comeback in the UK. Miriam Dobson from the University of Sheffield, told the BBC that some people have been spending a lot of their time on their plots（小块菜地）, growing plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables-which, at times, have been challenging to buy in supermarkets. She says “Corona virus has reminded people of the weakness within our global food system. In such a difficult time, interest in self-support rises.”
But for those with little space, a solution to grow your own vegetables lies closer to home-using pots（花盆）. Sheila Brand lives in a third-floor flat in Rotterdam. She has managed to grow tomatoes and eggplants and is already harvesting raspberries. She told the BBC “Watching the plants grow is very exciting, ‘Oh it’s got a new leaf!’ ”
As well as the benefits of saving money and enjoying tasty food, growing our own from a balcony or window ledge not only improves our well being and immediate environment, we can actually grow a lot of vegetables. So, maybe it’s time for us all to get planting and develop our green fingers!
27．A “five-a-day” diet (para.2) probably refers to a diet that includes _______ every day.
A．five meals B．enough fruits and vegetables
C．five kinds of rice D．plenty of water
28．According to paragraph 3, home-grown food is getting popular again in the UK recently because ______.
A．it’s more interesting, cheap and delicious
B．our global food system is doing harm to us
C．it can be hard to buy fresh food during the pandemic
D．it saves the time and money on transportation
29．According to the writer, where can you grow your own food if you live in a small flat?
A．In a pot. B．On a plate. C．In a garden. D．On the roof.
30．What does the writer imply in the last sentence?
A．Growing your own food can do good to your health.
B．Growing your own food can make your fingers green.
C．Growing your own food can bring your family more happiness.
D．Growing your own food can improve your gardening skills.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
For most of us, stress is a reality and learning how to deal with it is very important in our growth. After all, stress goes hand in hand with change, and our life is all about change.
31 We all behave a bit differently according to different types of stress. Here are some helpful tips to help you.
Eat right. Research shows snack foods are the worst things to have when you’re stressed. Besides, they are not the best way to keep healthy. 32
Get moving. Most of our everyday stress is related to school, work, or a host of emotional issues. 33 When we’re under a lot of stress, our bodies can develop a lot of muscle tension. Regular exercise can help you relax and feel better.
34 Essays won’t write themselves, and good grades require hard work. Don’t think much about the bad things. Give yourself credit where you can improve yourself. Stress is a clear sign of worry, but it doesn’t mean your situation is hopeless.
Speak up. The breakup of your favorite rock band isn’t the end of the world, but sometimes life does throw some real problems at you. But don’t let the stress eat you up. 35 If you’re feeling seriously depressed and unable to keep up with school and life, speak to a family member or your doctor.
A. Talk to a trusted friend.
B. Stay positive.
C. People could not think clearly when under stress.
D. The older a person is, the more stressed he feels.
E. However, a bit of physical activity can help us work it off.
F. There’s simply no way to get rid of stress completely.
G. Sure, everyone likes a little comfort food, but you’ll need a balanced diet.
