AWhen I was young, my father had one of the first telephones in our neighborhood. I remember the shiny box on the wall. But I was too little to reach it. I could only listen to my mother talk on it.I discovered that inside the wonderful box lived an amazing person whose name was Information Please. There was nothing she did not know.One day my mother went out. I accidentally hurt my finger when I was playing with a hammer, I walked around the house sucking my finger, finally seeing the telephone. Quickly I dragged a chair over and climbed up.“Information Please,” I spoke into the receiver. A click or two and a small clear voice spoke into my ear. “Information.”“I hurt my finger…” I cried into the phone.“Isn’t your mother home？” came the question.“Nobody is home but me.” I sobbed.“Ar e you bleeding？” the voice asked.“No,” I replied, “I hit my finger with the hammer and it hurts.”“Can you open your icebox？” she asked. I said I could.“Then take a little piece of ice and hold it to your finger.” said the voice.After that, I called “Information Please” for everything. I asked her for help with my geography and she told me where Philadelphia was. She helped me with my math. She told me her name was Sally.Then, there was the time my pet canary（金丝雀）died. I called“Information Please” and told Sally the sad story. “Why is it that birds sing so beautifully and bring joy to all families, only to end up as a pile of feathers？” She listened, then said quietly,“Paul, always remember that there are other worlds to sing in.” Somehow, I felt better.One day when I called “Information Please” again, a different voice answered “Information”I asked for Sally. “Are you a friend？” she said.“Yes,” I answered.“I’m sorry to have to tell you this,” she said. “She died five days ago.” Before I could hang u p she said, “Wait a minute. Did you say your name was Paul？”“Yes”“Well, Sally left a message for you. The note said,‘Tell him I still say there are other worlds to sing in. He’ll know what I mean.’ ” I thanked her and hung up. I knew what Sally meant.21.

The water in the lake was very clear andeverything is quiet and still. On the far side of the water is some farmland and furtheraway, across the field, is an old church built on a hill. It has just stopped raining. Thebrook（小河）flowing into the lake is full and there is still some half melted（半融化）snow from last winter on the ground.The reason why the water is so clear, and everything is so quiet and still, is that most ofthe plant and animal life in and around the lake is dead. There are no birds because all thefish and insects, which the birds need for food, have disappeared. Many trees in the forestare losing their leaves and bark（树皮）, sick and dying. Others were blown down by thehigh winds of last winter. A farmer is working in a field planting something, but unless heplants a stronger kind of seed this year, the crop will be between 25 to 40 percent lowerthan a few years ago. The stones of the old church tower are turning to powder andunless the tower is repaired soon, it will fall down.All the death and destruction in this place are caused by the smoke out of factories andpoisonous gases from cars and trucks. And yet this silent lake is hundreds of kilometersaway from the nearest factory and highway.24. What time of the year do you think it is？A. SpringB. SummerC. AutumnD.Winter25. Why are there no animals or birds in or around the lake？A. Because the area is polluted.B. Because the lake is quiet.C. Because the weather is terribly cold.D. Because they have all been killed.26.

Because few plants can grow because of the pollutionD. Because the water in the lake can’t be used to irrigate the field.27.
