21．（6分）Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax，he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favorite TV talk show on her first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park,” he told his wife, “I’ll look after the kids, and you can go to visit your mom.”
Things started well，but just after eight o’clock, his three little “good kids”—Mike, Randy, and Alex—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “Breakfast，Daddy When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat (节拍). Mike chanted “Where’s my toast, where’s my toast” in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.
Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someone named “Not Me had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.
By ten o’clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his color pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room，but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.
At exactly 11:17, Brad called the daycare centre. “I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?” The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.

23．（8分）Having a learning disability doesn’t mean you can’t learn, but you’ll need some help and need to work extra hard. If you have a learning disability such as dyslexia or dyscalculia, remember that you are not slow or stupid.
Learning disabilities can be genetic. That means they can be passed down in families through the genes, But kids today have an advantage over their parents. Learning experts now know a lot more about the brain and how learning works, and it’s easier for kids to get the help they need.
Dyslexia is a learning disability hat means a kid has a lot of trouble reading and writing. Kids who have trouble with math may have dyscalculia. Other kids may have
language disorders, meaning they have trouble understanding language and understanding what they read.
It can be confusing, though. What qualifies as “trouble" enough to be diagnosed as a learning disability? Reading, doing math, and writing letters may be tough for lots of kids at first. But when those troubles don’t fade away and it’s really difficult to make any progress, it’s possible that the kid has a learning disability.
Finding out you have a learning disability can be upsetting. You might feel different from everyone else. But the truth is that learning disabilities are pretty common. And if your learning specialist or psychologist has figured out which one you’re facing, you’re on the right track. Now, you can start getting the help you need to do better in school.
But for this special help to really work, you’ll need to practice the new skills you’re leaning. It may take a lot of efforts every day, That can be a challenge, but you can do it Soon, you’ll enjoy the results of all your hard work: more fun and success at school.
1、What do we know about learning disability?
A．It is a physical disease.
B．It can be treated by doctors.
C．It happens to children who are lazy.
D．It gets you into trouble when learning a subject.
2、Children are likely to have a learning disability .
A．if their parents have the same problem
B．if they are not interested in a subject

24．（8分）There’s a song by the great Jamaican singer Bob Marley called So Much Trouble In The World. Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this too––– that’s why it made Nov 16th “International Day for Tolerance”.
But first of all, what is tolerance? According to French philosopher Voltaire, tolerance is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error; let us pardon each other’s fool––– that is the first law of nature.”
Very often, people don’t realize that they’re intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance. For example, the UN’s campaign is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men don’t put themselves in the shoes of women.
It’s worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe the evils of which we’re speaking here? To agree to be “tolerant” of someone isn’t necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that there’s something wrong with them.
Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. That’s the reason we should be tolerant. It’s a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness.
1、What’s the purpose of the UN “International Day For Tolerance”?
A．To arouse people’s awareness of tolerance among people.
B．To celebrate the founding of the UN.
C．To solve the problem of global warming.
D．To change peopled opinion towards globalization.
2、Why do men behave intolerantly towards women?
A．Because men don’t realize the purpose of the UN.
B．Because men are physically stronger than women.
C．Because men don’t appreciate the shoes of women.
D．Because men are not willing to understand women.
3、Why is it meaningless to use the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”?
A．Because they are hard to pronounce in English.
B．Because they don’t express the exact meaning people refer to.
C．Because they can’t be translated into other languages.
D．Because they can’t be used in a respectful way.
4、In what sense is “tolerance” similar to “generosity”?
A．Humans are advised to treat others better.
B．Humans leant to find faults in others.
C．Humans need to give something to others.
D．Humans will change their attitudes to others.
