Without doubt，good results make us joyful. However，we cannot always get what we want and be the winner all the time. Some people can't help doubting: “Are our efforts in vain？”‎ The answer is “No”. We should remember that we are not only measured by how many goals we've reached，but how we acted，which means，process is also ‎ important.‎ Here is an example. Fruits are delicious. It takes trees a long time to bear them. In the process of growing，trees have to suffer from bad weather，insect bites and also intentional destructions（故意的破坏）from human beings. So it is with us. Our life is like a journey. At the beginning，we set a goal，dreaming of it every night，but we should never forget that we spend most of our time on the journey. Unfortunately，many people only complain about the failure and then give up hope. In fact，it is the failure that teaches us to be brave and stand on our own.‎ I myself deeply believe that only those who experienced a lot can own the highly-valued characters，only those who adventured（冒险）can have the chance to succeed. It is said "No pain，no gain." We are still young，still full of energy，so why are we afraid of failure and why do we hesitate（犹豫）to take an adventure？‎ Young men，let's forget results，leave out pain，and just look forward and don't miss any chance on the journey！‎ ‎24．Reaching our goal will make us __________.‎ A．laugh at others B．get over the moon ‎ C．set another goal D．forget our effort ‎25．The underlined phrase "in vain" here means“__________”.‎ A．值得 B．益处 C．高效 D．徒劳 ‎26．The writer gives an example of fruits in order to say __________.‎ A．No pain，no gain B．People will suffer a lot in life C．It's hard for a tree to bear fruits D．We should grow trees to get good fruits ‎27．Only those who __________ will get really good characters.‎ A．have gone through a lot B．work very hard C．believe that things will be better and better D．believe in themselves ‎ C ‎ Lots of kids hate school, a new study found. Usually this kind of feeling doesn’t last long. But what happens if you feel this way too much? School is a fact of life and getting a good education can help you build the kind of future life you want. So let’s talk about school and what to do when you don’t like it.‎ If you don’t like school, the first step is to find out why. You might not like school because you don’t have enough friends, or maybe you don’t get along with your teacher. Sometimes it’s a big problem with your classes and school-work . You may be getting farther and farther behind, and it may seem like you’ll never catch up.‎ When you know why you don’t like school, you can start taking steps to make things better. It’s a good idea to talk to someone about your problems with school. Your mum, dad, teacher or school counselor(心理辅导员) will be able to help you. Another good idea is to write down your feelings about school in a notebook. It’s a great way to let out emotions(情绪). Remember, you don’t have to share what you’ve written with others.‎ ‎28．Lots of kids _______ according to the passage.‎ A.like school very much B.are good at reading and writing C.don’t like writing D.have the thought of hating school ‎29．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the first paragraph?‎ A.Good education.

Greetings are casual—a handshake，a smile and a“hello”will do just fine.‎ The British often simply say“hello”when they meet friends. They usually shake hands only when they meet for the first time. Social kissing，often just a peck（轻吻）on the cheek，is common in an informal situation between men and women and also between women who know each other very well.‎ In Japan，the common greeting for both men and women is to bow when they greet someone，instead of giving a handshake or a hug.‎ Hungarians like to greet in a friendly way—kiss each other on both cheeks. The most common way is to kiss from your right to your left. When men meet for the first time，a handshake is the norm.‎ In Albania，men shake hands when greeting one another. A kiss on the cheek may also be common if there is a close relationship. Women may shake hands or kiss each other on both cheeks.‎ In Armenia，by tradition，a woman needs to wait for a man to offer his hand for a handshake. Between good friends and family members，a kiss on the cheek and a hug are also common.‎ ‎32．In Britain，when two people meet for the first time，they usually _______.‎ A．Hug B．Bow C．shake hands D．kiss on the cheek ‎33．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A．In Japan，hugging is as common as bowing.‎ B．In Hungary，people usually kiss each other on the cheeks from left to right.‎ C．In Albania，it is unusual for men to kiss if there is a close relationship.‎ D．In Armenia，it is necessary for a woman to wait for a man to offer his hand for a handshake.‎ ‎34．How many countries are mentioned in the passage?‎ A．Four.
