解析
21.答案:A
解析:but 意为“但是”，What he wanted to do was to play basketball with Eric 与his mother told him he would have to return his sister’s books to the library first是转折关系，所以要用but，表示“他本来想与Eric打篮球，但他妈妈告诉他他必须把他妹妹的书还回图书馆。because意为“因为”。or意为“或，或者，还是，抑或是”。since意为“自从”。

举一反三
I began working in journalism(新闻工作) when I was eight.It was my mother’s idea.She wanted me to“make something”of myself,and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.
With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue.The crowds were there.There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union.For several hours I made myself highly visible,making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.When it was suppertime,I walked back home.
“How many did you sell,my boy?”my mother asked.
“None.”
“Where did you go?”
“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”
“What did you do?”
“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”
“You just stood there?”
“Didn’t sell a single one.”
“My God,Russell!”
Uncle Allen put in,“Well,I’ve decided to take the Post.”I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel(五分镍币).It was the first nickel I earned.
Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman.I would have to ring doorbells,address adults with self-confidence(自信),and persuade them by saying that no one,no matter how poor,could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
One day,I told my mother I’d changed my mind.I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.
“If you think you can change your mind like this,”she replied,“you’ll become a good-for-nothing.”She insisted that,as soon as school was over,I should start ringing doorbells,selling magazines.Whenever I said no,she would scold me.
My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember.My mother,dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life,determined that I would not grow up like him and his people.But never did she expect that,forty years later,such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.

Active vacations are often the most relaxing of all. But Wait! It"s all in defining what an active vacation is. We don"t expect you to take up jogging, backpacking, or hang gliding. we ask the sedentary（爱坐的）vacationers to spend two to four hours a day doing things, such as walking the city streets, exploring a nature preserve, or taking a leisurely rowboat ride.
These kinds of activities aren"t just good for your physical health. They improve your mental health, even your spiritual health. And they make vacations memorable and worthwhile. Here are some fresh ideas for active and healthy vacation.
Make the morning your activity time. At that time it is most likely that the weather will be friendlier, your energy level higher, and your schedule emptier than later in the day.
Have a walk at dawn or dusk. Such activity is called rejuvenation（恢复活力）. Try to make this a daily routine of life away from home, and you will guarantee yourself both physical and spiritual youth.
Get into the water as much as you can. Don"t allow yourself to spend your entire time sitting in front of the water. Whether it is the ocean, a swimming pool, or a tree-lined lake, make sure you get into the water for swimming or games or even walking. Merely standing in waist-high water is a good workout, thanks to the action of the water. And you"ll feel so much more alive!
Choose a cruise for your trip. It"s amazing how active you can be being stuck on a boat in the middle of the Atlantic. Most cruise ships offer numerous options for seaworthy exercise. During your sea and land trips you can burn calories as you swim, hike, dive, and horseback ride.
Get out of the car every two hours. Many of us spend a large part of our vacations on the road, either getting to and from our destinations, or using the car for sightseeing. But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, great and memorable vacations don"t happen in a car seat. Don"t wait for tiredness or nature"s call to get you to pull over. Frequently get out and stretch, walk, picnic, shop, visit, and have fun. It"s important for your health and energy, and it makes traveling a lot more active and interesting.
小题1:The first paragraph mainly tells us ____________.| A．that active vacations are very relaxing | | B．the activities we should join in | | C．how many hours we should exercise every day | | D．what an active vacations is |
小题2:How many tips does the writer give in the passage?小题3:Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?| A．Usually the weather in the morning is better. | | B．You can have a memorable vacation in a car. | | C．Swimming can make you feel much more alive. | | D．Don’t drive your car very often to go sightseeing. |
小题4:Which of the following is probably the best title for this passage?| A．Driving Tips | B．How to Relax Without cars | | C．Give up Your Car and Walk | D．Make your Vacation Healthy |

Imagine being able to recall just about anything, your mind functioning as a nearly endless encyclopedic（百科全书的）book of names, pictures, dates and events.
Brad Williams’ excellent memory recall makes him a personified version（个人版）of Google. His wide memory allows him to recall almost any news event and anything he has experienced, including specific dates and even the weather. “I was sort of a human Google for my family. I’ve always been able to recall things,” the 51-yearold said on Good Morning America in his first television interview.
Williams’ type of detailed, complete memory is called hyperthymesia and few known cases exist. Brad’s brain scan are now being studied by scientists at the Center for Neurobiology（神经生物学）of Learning and Memory, at the University of California.
At first, the drive-time radio broadcaster didn’t think his ability to recall so much was anything special. Gradually, over the years, other people noticed how much he was able to remember in detail about events. Then in 2006, he read an article about a wman whom scietists called AJ, which prompted Williams to come forward. AJ is a writwer of a medical journal, and the only scientifically-documented case of superior memory.
“When I read about AJ, my immediate thought was : Oh my God. That’s Brad!” said williams’ brother, Eric Williams.
Eric Williams is eager to learn about the inner working of his brother’s mind. He is in the process of making documentary（纪录片）about Brad, appropriately titled: “Unforgettable.” In the film, which hasn’t been finished yet, Williams takes on a person who is Googling answers to 20 questions. He answers 18 of them correctly and is 11 minutes faster than the Google user.
“All of us have the ability to store this information, but the difference with Brad is that he can recall it,” Eric Williams said.
小题1:According to the passage, which of the following is true about Brad Williams?| A．He has worked for Google, so he recall any news events. | | B．He may be one of the rare cases of people with a superior memory. | | C．He is now the host of Good Morning America. | | D．He is working as a teacher in California. |
小题2:Why does Brad Williams have such a good memory?| A．Because he was born with a rare ability. | | B．Because his work requires a good memory. | | C．Because he has to answer others’ questions. | | D．Because he was specially trained in his chilhood. |
小题3:The underlined word “prompted” most probably means _______.| A．helped | B．wanted | C．warned | D．encouraged |
小题4:The best title for this passage might be ___________.| A．The Ability to Store All Information | | B．A Documentary called Unforgettable | | C．“Google Man” Recalls Nearly Every Thing | | D．Brad Williams and Google User |
