He was unable to do a steady job. He fell suddenly ill and had to be admitted to the hospital.‎ He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children’s hospital. My dad loved kids. It was the perfect job for him. He ended up working with the seriously ill children. He would talk, play, and do arts with them.‎ One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed (瘫痪) her from the neck down. She couldn’t do anything, and she was very depressed. My dad decided to try to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn’t use his hands at all. All the while he would tell her, “See, you can do anything you set your mind to.”At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. My dad also left the children’s hospital for a little while because he became ill. Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, in came the little girl who had been paralyzed and only this time she was walking. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave him a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read: “Thank you for helping me walk.”‎ My dad would cry every time he told us this story and so would we. He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctor, and my dad—who died just a few months after the little girl gave the picture—loved every single child in that hospital.‎ ‎24.The author’s father worked at the local hospital to_______________.‎ A. make his serious heart condition less serious B. keep himself occupied and pleased ‎ C. realize his childhood dream D. earn money to pay for treatment ‎25.

What message does the passage mainly convey?‎ A. It’s better to give than to receive. B.A sick person should not focus on his disease.‎ C. Volunteering is a worthwhile thing to do. D. Love can sometimes bring great results.‎ C Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius (天才)out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surrounding (环境). Thus the limits of person' s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not ‎ he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supposed in a number of ways. ‎ It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligent. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely to be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. ‎ Imagine now that we take two identical (完全相同的)twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the working is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this shows that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.‎ ‎28. Which of these sentences best describes the writer's point in Paragraph 1? A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birth. B. Intelligence is developed by the environment. C. Some people are born clever and others born stupid. D. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment. 29. It is suggested in this passage that_______. A. unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence B. close relations usually have similar intelligence C. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are ‎ likely to be in intelligence D. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar ‎ ‎ degrees of intelligence 30. Brothers and sisters are likely to_______. ‎ ‎ A. have similar intelligence  B. have different intelligence C. go to the same university  D. go to the same factory 31. The best title for this article would be_______. A. On Intelligence B. What Intelligence Means C. We Are Born with Intelligence D. Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence D ‎ More than 10 million Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas, most of which were stolen and illegally shipped out of China during the times of war before 1949. About 1. 67 million pieces are housed in more than 200 museums in 47 countries, which accounts for 10 percent of all lost Chinese cultural relics, and the rest are in the hands of private collectors. ‎ Most of these treasures are owned by museums or private collectors in the United States, Europe, Japan and Southeast Asian countries. There are more than 23,000 pieces in the British Museum, most of which were stolen or bought for pennies more than 100 years ago. ‎ The major method to recover these national treasures was to buy them back. In some cases, private collectors donated the relics to the government. Also the government can turn to official channels (渠道) to demand the return of relics. ‎ ‎ In 2003, a priceless bronze pig's head dating from the Qing Dynasty was returned to its home in Beijing after it was removed by the AngloFrench Allied Army over 140 years ago. Macao entrepreneur(企业家) Stanley Ho donated 6 million yuan to buy it back from a US art collector and then donated it to the Poly Art Museum in Beijing. ‎ Although buyingback is the most feasible way to recover the lost treasures, limited funding is always a big headache. ‎ In recent years, the Chinese government has improved efforts to recover the precious cultural relics lost overseas. It has started a national project on the recovery of the treasures and has set up a database(数据库) collecting relevant ‎ information. It has signed several international agreements with many countries on this matter, and is also looking for international cooperation to recover the relics by working closely with several international organizations. ‎ ‎32.
