A.
There was something funny about my shoes. They were blacker than they had been
since they were bought. But now could that be?
My first thought was, of course, magic because I knew that I hadn’t done anything to create that shine that looked so wonderful at the far end of my legs. Then, I called out to my wife, Anita. “Honey, thanks for shining my shoes! They look great!
I was thinking I needed to get some new black shoes, but now...”“I didn’t shine your black shoes,”Anita said. “I didn’t shine your brown shoes, either.”Wait a minute. My brown shoes? I looked in the closet. A bright glow from the darkest corner confirmed Anita’s report. I paused for a second or two. “So really, thanks,” I said to Anita. “But I didn’t shine them,” she said.
I looked at her, searching for any sign of telling lies. Anita certainly wouldn’t lie, but she would do a bit in the interest of something she considered a greater good--a good joke or a secret act of service. “So, if you didn’t shine them,” I asked, “who did it?” She gave me a confident, self-satisfied smile. So I immediately thought of Beth, my youngest daughter who lived close enough to be able to drop by when I wasn’t home to shine my shoes. But her response to my questions forced me to decide that it wasn’t Beth. Who was it?
To be honest, I still don’t know for sure. That’s why it is with unknown acts of service. I love my shiny shoes. They are finally going to get dirty again. But the memory of those shiny shoes will remain with me, warming my heart forever, and inspiring me to fast acts of kindness of my own.
21. Why did the author stop for a second or two after seeing his brown shoes?
A. He was really puzzled.
B. He liked his shoes much.

22. When did the author’s daughter help shine his shoes?
A. When she visited him.
B. When she had nothing to do.
C. When she wanted to do something.
D. When she was praised by her father.
23. What will the author do in the future according to the text?
A. He will continue to look into the service.
B. He will also do the good
deeds secretly.
C. He will inspire others to shine his shoes.
D. He will stop others from shining his shoes.
B.

Many people love cats because they serve as excellent human companions. Furthermore, they also help in hunting and controlling the number of some unwanted creatures and pests. Also, these gentle pets have unique behavior that makes them very interesting and endearing to many people.
They typical weight for this kind of animal is somewhere around 2.5 kilograms up to 7 kilograms. In terms of height, the average cat can grow as tall as 23 to 25 centimeters. Compared to other animals, they tend to sleep more as a means of
conserving energy. On a daily basis, they sleep at an average of 12 to16 hours. Their body temperature normally runs at an average of 38 to 39 degrees Celsius. There are numerous reasons why they fight against each other. Some of the most common reasons include dominance(统治), reproduction and territory(领土). Likewise, they tend to fight for the purpose of self-defense.
If you have owned a cat before, you may have heard it purr（发出呜呜声). Have you ever wondered why it does that? Cats purr for different reasons, the most important of which is for communication. They also do this act when people pet them, putting them in a relaxed state and position. Furthermore, they also do this when eating. According to animal experts, female cats also do such act when giving birth. Nursing cats also use this kind of sound to communicate with their kittens. When communicating with people, feline creatures usually purr in order to show love and express friendship. Moreover, purring cats are sending people signals that they are not posing any kind of threat.
Aside from the positive meaning of purring, it can also mean something bad for cats. Some studies show that cats create such sound when they are in pain, ailing or injured. Worse still, this can even serve as a signal that they are about to die.
In addition to purring, these creatures also produce other important sounds for the purpose of communication. These include grunting, squeaking and trilling. They also produce other sounds such as growling, hissing and meowing.

If you work in an office environment, make sure that your chair is
well-positioned so that your elbows are at right angles when your hands are on the desk. 31 When using a computer, keep your screen at least 30 inches away

Whatever your profession is, a well-earned break will not only help to keep you healthy but also allow you to focus better when you return to work. 33 Maintain a healthy diet.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m writing to offer my suggestions on the improvement of our school’s WeChat public Accounts. As our school’s WeChat public accounts is a window open to the outside world, I think it is advisable that more photos about our campus life be offered to make it more appealing and attractive. Besides, I hope WeChat public accounts can be updated more often to keep the public informed of what’s going on in our school. Finally, a new Reading Salon will be welcomed which can provide a platform where people can read educational information and communicate with each
other.
I would appreciate it if you could take my suggestions into consideration. Sincerely yours,
Li Hua。
