22．（8分）I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through phone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn't always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.

23．（8分）Doctor Seuss was born in 1904. By the middle 1950s, he had become one of the best loved and most successful children's book writers in the world. His books are very popular with young readers. They enjoy the invented words and the pictures of unusual funny animals and plants.
In 1954, life magazine published(刊登) a report about school children who could not read. The report said many children's books were not interesting. Doctor Seuss strongly hoped to help children and decided to write books that were interesting and easy to read. He used words with the same ending sound, like fish and wish. He did not receive training in art. Yet, he drew the pictures for most of his books.
In 1957, Dr. Seuss wrote The Cat in the Hat. He used less than 230 words to write the book and even a six­year­old should be able to read it. It was a fun story and easy to read. Children loved it.

In 1960, he wrote a book using less than fifty words. The book is called Green Eggs and Ham.
In 1984, Doctor Seuss won a Pulitzer Prize (普利策奖). He was honored for the education and enjoyment his books provided American children and their parents.
He died at the age of 87, but his influence remains. Millions of his books have been sold worldwide. People say his books helped change the way American children learned to read.

24．（8分）Every year, billions of kilograms of fresh produce are wasted in the United States. The food ends up in landfills, producing harmful greenhouse gases. Meanwhile, millions of poor Americans go hungry, without access to healthy, affordable meals.
Evan Lutz is passionate about correcting that social injustice. And he combines that goal with a passion for business. “My entire life I’ve wanted to become a social entrepreneur, not just starting a business that made money but also starting one that gave back. I’m just an average guy with a passion towards making sure no food goes to waste and making sure no person’s ever hungry in America and I want to do that through business.
Lutz is CEO and founder of Hungry Harvest. Hungry Harvest is a business which collects and sells “ugly” produce. These are fruit and vegetables that most food companies would throw away. “If you go to a grocery store everything is growing the same exact way. Right. So all that stuff that doesn’t grow the same way gets wasted and gets thrown out. And we take all that stuff that normally gets thrown out because it’s too big or too small in odd size of shape, we box it up into a variety boxes and we deliver them to our customers once a week. We hire people that were living in homeless shelters. They were really looking to get a chance in life.”
In January 2016, Lutz appeared on the American business competition television show “Shark Tank”. It connects investors with entrepreneurs. Lutz sought a $50,000 investment in Hungry Harvest, in exchange for a five percent stake in his company. He got even more than he expected: $100,000 for 10 percent ownership.

25．（10分） Knowing what to do at checkout and properly preparing for it can turn a potentially heated situation into a quick thank you add goodbye. Below we made a list of five things you should remember at hotel checkout.
Don’t be late to check
Hotels may add an extremely high price for being just a half hour late. If you know you won’t make the cutoff time, it never hurts to call ahead and try to negotiate away a potential charge.
Don’t forget to double cheek the room and safe
Make sure you don’t leave things behind. If you have an early flight or checkout time, pack up as much as you can the night before so that last-minute rush isn’t too annoying. Also, be sure to take out anything in the room safe.
Don’t forget to tip the housekeepers
It’s always polite to leave some money for the people keeping your room clean.
Don’t ignore the detailed bill
You may be in a rush, but give the detailed hill a careful look to see if the hotel charge is different from the rate you initially booked.
Don’t get angry
Shooting at the assistant manager standing behind the front desk probably won’t help.
When dealing with an unexpected item on the bill. Think about how difficult it can be to deal with annoyed customers. Keep calm and things may be solved better and sooner.
