If she says the bird is alive, I'll quickly crush it and show her the dead bird. Either way, she'll be wrong." The children agreed that this was a clever plan. So they went to the old woman's house.

C
Parkinson's disease (帕金森病) is the second most common neurodegenerative (神经退行性) disease worldwide.It affects about 1% to 2% of people aged 65 and over.As the global population ages,the prevalence (流行率) of Parkinson's disease will increase greatly.
Nowadays,more than 6 million people worldwide have Parkinson's disease,and there are about 60,000 new patients each year.
A recent study was carried out by Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.The study monitored the health of hundreds of Parkinson's patients for up to five years.They studied two groups of people.One group of 147 people practised regular (有规律的) tai chi,aided by training class to improve their technique.The traditional Chinese exercise combines slow gentle movements with deep breathing and relaxation.The other group of 187 patients continued with their common care,but didn't practise tai chi.
After five years of study,the researchers find that Parkinson's disease progressed more slowly in the tai chi group.This group also saw fewer falls,less back pain and fewer memory problems than the other group.At the same time,sleep and quality of life continuously improved.An earlier test of people with Parkinson's who practised tai chi for six months found greater improvements in walking,posture (姿态) and balance than those not on the programme.Experts say the findings support earlier studies on the benefits of exercise for those with Parkinson's.
Writing in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry,researchers say their study shows that tai chi has the long-term beneficial effects on Parkinson's disease,which include making quality of life last longer,reducing the task on nursing care and drug (药物) use,while still helping to keep patients active.Tai chi has a potential improvement effect on both motor and non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease patients.They also find that tai chi training is safe for patients with early primary Parkinson's disease.
This was an observational (观察性的) study,so the relationship between tai chi and improvement in Parkinson's disease could not be sure.But the researchers will continue to study it.
21.The second paragraph mainly talks about ______ .
A. the background of the study B. the purpose of the study
C. the process of the study D. the result of the study
22.What do you know about tai chi from the observational study? ______
A. Parkinson's disease progressed quickly for the tai chi group.
B. Tai chi can take the place of drug use for Parkinson's patients.
C. Parkinson's patients can benefit a lot from doing tai chi regularly.
D. It's unsafe for early primary Parkinson's patients to practice tai chi.
23.What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage? ______
A. To explain how Parkinson's patients practice tai chi.
B. To discuss about the importance of studying Parkinson's disease.
C. To suggest some proper ways of improving people's quality of life.
D. To introduce a study about the influence of tai chi on Parkinson's disease.

24. A retired postman from Turkey and a beautiful white swan have been always together for nearly forty years, and the story of their friendship has warmed the hearts of millions.
In 1984 Recep Mirzan was in a car with a group of friends, when he saw a swan that appeared to have a broken wing in an empty field.
Mirzan quickly realized that leaving the bird there was the same as signing its death sentence, as meat-eating animals would have most likely eaten it, so he stopped the car and took the bird with him. He kept it in the car until evening, when he took it home and started nursing it back to health.
"Since I love animals,I said to myself that I should take her home instead of leaving her as dinner to foxes,"Mirzan said," We got used to each other.We never separated."
Even after the swan's broken wing healed(痊愈), it didn't try to fly away. Instead, it acted as a friend to the other animals on Recep's farm, and decided to stick around. Recep named her Garip and now she has been with him ever since.
"She comes when I call. Since 1984, she has never left me, not even during the river floods," the retired postman said." She used to be stronger, but she has grown old now. If she dies, I will make her a nice grave(墓穴) here,but I hope we live more together."
During the day, she is busy following her human friend around, either during his daily chores, or on his evening walks.
After his wife died a few years ago, Recep Mirzan started spending more time with his animals, and since he has no human children, he regards Garip as his child.

35.【答案】The First Time I Learn to Swim
As we all know, everyone has his unforgettable memories. I still remember the first time to learn to swim.
Last summer vacation, my father took me to the swimming pool in our neighborhood and taught me to swim. It was the first for me to swim. At first, I could not swim at all. My father was very patient. He encouraged me and taught me how to swim. He taught me how to breathe in the water first. Then, he threw me into the deepest part of the swimming pool. ①I was so frightened that I couldn't move. But I never gave up. I felt safe with my dad around. Three hours later, with the help of my father, I could swim by myself. ② Although I couldn't swim very well, I was very happy.
I will never forget this experience, because I not only learned how to swim, but also learned to be brave!
