13.Watching some children trying to catch butterflies one August afternoon,I was reminded of an incident in my own childhood.When I was a boy of twelve in South Carolina,something happened to me that made me never put any wild creature (living thing)in a cage.?
We lived on the edge of a forest,and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing.There isn't a musical instrument made by man that can produce a more beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird.
I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way,I would have my own private musician.
I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage.At first,being frightened,the bird fluttered(扑腾)about the cage,but finally it settled down in its new home.I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my little musician.
On the second day of the bird's captivity,my new pet's mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth.The baby bird ate everything she brought to it.I was pleased to see this.Certainly the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby.
The following morning when I went to see how my captive (caged) bird was doing,I discovered it on the floor of the cage,dead.I was terribly surprised!What had happened!I had taken excellent care of my little bird,or so I thought.
Arthur Wayne,the famous ornithologist,who happened to be visiting my father at the time,hearing me crying over the death of my bird,explained what had happened."A mother mockingbird,finding her young in a cage,will sometimes bring it poison berries(毒莓).She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in a cage."?
Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage.All living creatures have a right to live free.
21.Why did the writer catch a mocking-bird when he was a boy of 12?B

B.He wanted it to sing for him.

B.refused to eat anything
C.ate the poisonous food its mother gave it  
D.drank the poisonous water by mistake
23.What is the most important lesson the writer learned from the incident?A
A.Freedom is very valuable to all creatures
B.Be careful about food you give to baby birds

4.The children were always good during August,especially when it got near the twenty-third.It was on this day that the great silver spaceship carrying Professor Hugo's Interplanetary Zoo settled down for its annual six-hour visit to the Chicago area.
Before daybreak the crowds would form,long lines of children and adults,each one grasping their dollar,and waiting with excitement to see what strange creatures the Professor would bring this year.In the past they had sometimes been treated to three-legged creatures from Venus,or tall,thin men from Mars,or even snakelike horrors from somewhere more distant.This year,as the great ship settled slowly in the huge parking area,they watched with awe as the sides slowly slid up to reveal the familiar barred cages.
In them were some wild race of nightmare-small,horse-like animals that moved with quick motions and constantly made high-pitched sounds.The citizens of Earth pushed around as Professor Hugo's crew quickly collected the waiting dollars.The good Professor called into his microphone,"People of Earth,this year you see a real treat for your single dollar-the little-known horse-spider people of Kaan-across a million miles of space brought at great expense."
The crowds slowly filed by,at once horrified and fascinated by these strange creatures that looked like horse but ran up the walls of their cages like spiders."This is certainly worth a dollar!"one man remarked,hurrying away.
As the ship rose from the ground the Earth people agreed that this had been the very best zoo yet…
Some two months and three planets later,the silver ship of Professor Hugo settled at last onto the familiar planet of Kaan,and the horse-spider creatures filed quickly out of their cages.In one home,the she-creature was happy to see the return of her mate and offspring."It was a long time you were gone.Was it good?"
The he-creature nodded."The little one enjoyed it especially.We visited eight worlds and saw many things."
"On the place called Earth it was the best.The creatures there wear garments over their skins,and they walk on two legs."the little one smiled.
"But isn't it dangerous?"asked the she-creature.
"No,"her mate answered."There are bars to protect us from them.We remain right in the ship.Next time you must come with us.It is well worth the nineteen commocs it costs."
And the little one nodded."It was the very best Zoo ever…"

C.They were afraid of the horse-spider people.

18.You've heard it repeatedly:Make sure you drink at least eight glasses of water per day.The key words are"at least",because,unless you are a child,you need more water than that.The rule is,for every 50pounds of body weight you carry,drink one quart of bottled or filtered (过滤的) water per day.The average person weighs 150pounds,so they should drink three quarts per day.A 200pounds person should drink a full gallon per day.Athletes should drink even more than that.Follow these and you've adopted one of the most important health habits.
Our bodies are mostly water,and water is essential to our every function.Drink the appropriate amount,and everything is much more likely to function at the best levels.If you don't drink enough water,over the short term you will experience tiredness,dry skin,headaches and constipation (便秘); over the longer term,every body function will  degrade more quickly.It really is as simple as that.
Things get a bit more complicated in what type of water to drink.Bottled water and filtered water are both good options.Do not drink tap water or distilled water (蒸馏水).Bottled water should be bottled in clear glass containers,not the plastic containers that transfer far too many chemicals into the water.Filtered water can be obtained through low-cost filters.
Tap water should be avoided because it contains chlorine (氯) and may contain fluoride (氟化物),which is poisonous and can have terrible consequences for the body.Distilled water should also be avoided because it can burn up your body of necessary minerals.It has been tied to hair loss,which is often associated with certain mineral lack.
Finally,drink water at room temperature if possible,as ice-cold water can harm your stomach.
21.What's the meaning of the underlined word"degrade"?B
A.Improve.
B.Reduce..
C.Strengthen           
D.Recover.
22.What kinds of water are proper for drinking?C
A.Tap water and bottled water.
B.Tap water and distilled water.
C.Bottled water and filtered water.
D.Distilled water and filtered water.
23.What's the main reason that distilled water isn't recommended to drink?A
A.It leads the body to lack certain minerals.
B.It isn't clean enough to drink.
C.It contains too many chemicals.
D.It contains fluoride.
