He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.      "Families aren't what they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If the husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now parents are both busy working. No one has time to look after children at home.      And the cars! No one walks anymore. More and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on school days, even in winter. But now we don't. And in school, children don't have to think anymore. In math class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide by using our heads. But now kids don't use their heads anymore. Instead, they use calculators.      Most families have computers now. In the past we didn't have computers. We didn't even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don't often eat home-cooked food.      And people talk less to each other than before. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think...Life used to be simple, but it isn't anymore." （ ）21. What does the grandfather think of the life now? A.

Lots of mothers still stay at home and look after their children (B) What do you think is the most magic thing in the world? To me, it is a smile. A smile can start a friendship (友谊) , stop us from getting angry with each other and also make us feel warm. Last year, I came here to be a middle school student. I had no friends then and felt very lonely. One day between classes, I ran in the playground. Suddenly I fell over heavily and lay on the ground. I tried to stand on my feet, but I was unable to do so. My ankle (脚踝) was hurting badly. I felt very uncomfortable and did wish that nobody saw me. But just then I saw a boy running straight towards me. As I looked up, I saw a big and pure (淳朴的) smile. It was from my new classmate Leo. I felt so warm inside. He held my hand to help me stand up. Without saying a word, only a smile started the friendship between Leo and me. Even best friends quarrel (吵架) sometimes and so do Leo and I. Last week after quarreling, I went home impolitely. Later I calmed down and felt terribly sorry for my rudeness. However, I didn't know what to do with the problem. Then, one day, I sent a smile emoji on my phone to Leo. I waited all day, worrying that he would never talk to me again. In the evening I was doing my homework when suddenly a ringtone (铃声) came to my ears. Leo video chatted with me! I saw a face of big smile on the screen. At that moment, all the complaints (抱怨) and embarrassment (尴尬) went away and there was only full understanding and friendship between us. That’s the magic of a smile. As you can see, the power of a smile is great. Try to give others smiles every time and you will live in a magical world! ( )26.

Many people are fans of the show and begin to enjoy reading aloud at home. Now the show gives people a special place to read across China. Reading pavilions (亭子) are now in cities like Shanghai, Hangzhou and Xi’an. The pavilion is quite small. Only one person can come into it each time. There is a microphone (麦克风) in it and it records people’s voices. Everyone can read anything they like for three minutes in the pavilion. The show will later pick some of the readers and invite them to read on TV People of all ages have come and read in the pavilion, according to People's Daily. “Reading should be just like singing and talking”, said Dong Qing, the host (主持人) of the show. “We can actually express our deep feelings through reading aloud.” Both the TV show and the pavilion are promoting (推动) reading among the public, reported China Youth Daily. In fact, this is also what our country is trying to do now. During the two sessions (两会) this month, deputy (人大代表) Lu Yaping suggested that, a national reading day should be set up.

The sixty-year-old adventurer (探险家) Shea has walked across Africa, Europe, America, Asia and other continents. In his spare time, he has also climbed the highest mountains all over the world. When he climbed Mount Qomolangma which is in China, he did not take the traditional ‘easy route (路线)’—the southern side of the Himalaya Mountains from India and Nepal, but the most dangerous northern side from Xizang, China. Shea travels in his own way, seldom moving directly from Point A to Point B or just following anyone else’s route. Travel clubs for country collectors, divide (划分) the world up into 325, 875 and 1281 parts, but Shea has his own idea. He divides the world into 3978 parts. He has visited 2,330 of them and decided to complete the rest of them before his travelling days are over. Shea’s love for traveling, however, isn’t about these numbers, life goals or risks (风险). For him, travel is like a holy activity, one that makes the mind and one’s horizons larger. In 2012, he founded (组建) an organization called World Parks in order to achieve what some people would view as a quixotic (狂想的) goal: making world leaders protect wild places as ‘world’ parks rather than ‘national’ parks. He is nothing if he is not ambitious (野心勃勃的). “My goal is to change the world,” he said. ( )36. Jeff Shea is a (n) from California, the USA. A. club organizer B. world leader C. peak climber D.

Jeff Shea suggests the leaders of the world take action to really protect the wild places. C. Facts show that Jeff Shea is very ambitious and is our hero. D.
