I attended a writer's group to get feedback on my book. But there were so many people there that the discussion was limited. After getting home, my 13-year-old son asked me to read one chapter to him. So I read the chapter about spending my pocket money as a nine-year-old child.
The story took place at a lunch counter, where I dreamed of ordering a banana split. Colorful balloons were hung above the counter and a sign said "Pop（使爆裂）a balloon and pay I cent to 63 cents for a banana split!" As I was given only 50 cents for cleaning the doghouse, I didn't dare to ask my parents for any more pocket money without doing more work or risk asking anyone else. So I kept my wish to myself.
Frankie listened carefully, as I read the final sentences of the chapter, "I watched as others selected a balloon to pop and dreamed about the opportunity to take my chance. But it never happened."
The next morning, Frankie led me to the kitchen. I couldn't believe my eyes. The table was covered in a pile of balloons. Frankie handed me 50 cents and a fork. "Pop one!" he urged. With tears in my eyes, I broke one. A piece of paper fell out of the balloon.
"What does it say " Frankie asked. "Fifty cents," I whispered, too moved to speak loudly. Frankie asked, "Well, do you have50 cents " I handed him the money. "OK!" Then Frankie pulled out a banana split from the refrigerator.
I hugged Frankie hard. We took turns popping the other balloons until I finally got the1-cent balloon. It was a long-time coming, but worth the wait.
It hit me that the first step in making any wish come true is giving it a voice.
24. Why did the author read the chapter to Frankie

Ricky lived in a house which had everything you could ever want. Though he didn’t help much around the house, Ricky was pleased when his parents bought home the latest model of robot. As soon as it arrived, it went off; cooking, cleaning, and gathering up old clothes from Ricky’s bedroom floor, which Ricky didn’t like having to walk on. On that first day, when Ricky went to sleep, he left his bedroom in a truly bad state（状态）. When he woke up the next morning, everything was perfectly clean and tidy.
In fact, it was actually “too” clean; now Ricky couldn’t find his favorite T-shirt and his favorite toy. However much he searched, the two items did not reappear, and the same was starting to happen with other things. Ricky cast a suspicious (怀疑的) eye on the robot. He began following it around the house. Finally he caught it red-handed, picking up one of Ricky’s toys to hide it.
He went off, running to his parents, to tell them that the robot was broken and badly programmed. Ricky asked them to have it changed. But his parents told him absolutely not. They needed the robot very much.
One day, the robot heard the boy’s complaints. The robot returned with one of the boy’s toys and some clothes for him. “Here, sir. I did not know it was bothering you,” said the robot, “The objects were left on the floor. I therefore figured that you did not like them. I am programmed to collect all that is not wanted, and at night I send it to places where other humans can use it.”
Ricky started feeling ashamed. He had spent all his life treating things as if they were useless. Yet it was true that many other people would be delighted to treat those things with all the care in the world. Since then, Ricky had put real care into how he treated his things. And often, he would buy things, and take them along with his good friend, the robot, to help out those other people who needed them.
28. The robot’s task was to ________.
A. help do housework
B. teach Ricky a lesson
C. wash Ricky’s clothes
D. get rid of the useless things
29. What was Ricky’s bad habit
A. He never cared for others.
B. He got up late every morning.
C. He never listened to his parents.
D. He always threw his things about.
30. The robot hid Ricky’s things because _______.
A. it wanted to help Ricky make a change
B. it figured that they were useless things
C. it wanted to make fun of him
D. it hoped to help the poor
31. Ricky’s parents thought that ________.
A. Ricky was too lazy
B. there was something wrong with the robot
C. the robot shouldn’t have hidden Ricky’s things
D. the robot was helpful to them
C
When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation. I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.
“We didn’t stay at“bed and breakfast”houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”
I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for “holidays” is “vacaciones”. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said “VACANCIES ”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!
We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.
English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you.”
32. The writer suggested that they stay at “bed and breakfast” houses because _______.
A. it would be convenient for them to have dinner
B. it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels
C. they would be able to practise their English
D. there would be no problem about finding accommodation there
33. The writer’s friends stayed at hotels at last because _______.
A. they misunderstood the signs outside the door
B. there were no such “bed and breakfast” houses in England
C. they found there were no free rooms there
D. people there were away on holiday
34. If you see a road sign that says “ DIVERSION ” in England, you will _______.
A. fall into a hole
B. have to take a different road
C. find that the road is stopped by lots of people
D. have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself
35. When a French man is offered more coffee and he says “Thank you”, he really means _______.
A. he doesn’t want any more coffee
B. he wants to show his amazement
C. he just wants to show his politeness
D. he wants to have some more coffee

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。
We all have to make decisions all the time, and we have an abundance of choices, ranging from tiny issues to vital ones. Unfortunately, people often find it hard to make decisions. 36 If you would like to improve your skill of decision making, here are four suggestions for you.
Don't expect to have it all.
37 You can't order every delicious dish on the menu. And there will be paths not taken, careers not chosen, to name a few. You can imagine some “what if" situations if you must, but do not let them take up too much space in your brain.
38
It's often good to think through your decisions. But don't overdo it. Research can reach a point where returns begin to reduce, which makes it confusing more than clarifying. Many good decisions can be made based as much on intuition（直觉）as on careful assessment of endless data.
Don't delay making decisions.
Yes, there is a time to put off making a decision. Perhaps you need more information. 39 Or it's likely that you wait for a less stressful time. Just don't wait so long that the decision is made by your own indecisiveness（犹豫不决）.
Don't be hard on yourself.
You decide to go on a voyage. You choose an expensive liner. Everything should work out just right. Only you didn't expect an illness that ran around on the ship, making you and your family sick for five days. 40 But please remember it is unavoidable sometimes.
A. Don't spend too much time thinking.
B. It is an important source of information.
C. You may regret making such a stupid decision.
D. Don't count on emotion to make decisions.
E. Maybe you wish to ask your advisor for help.
F. Decisions force us to give up something.
G. That means the skill of good decision-making is really important.

We all know the effect greenhouse gas emission is having on our planet. Most of us are doing our bit to reduce our impact 56 the environment, but despite our collective effort, are we doing enough 57 （achieve）net zero by 2050
Many countries are doing their bit. They announced what further steps they were going to take at the recent COP26 summit in Glasgow. Another method is 58 big push towards there will be electric vehicles. To this end, taxes for car makers will be made lower, 59 there will be more charging points in streets.
But not all emission can be reduced to zero, so those 60 （remain）will have to be made up for. One way to do this is to plant thousands of trees, 61 are good at absorbing carbon dioxide. There are other 62 （idea）too, but 63 is certain is that those will cost money. Whether the UK or anyone else, reaching net zero remains to be seen.
