Her six-month-old son Corey had swallowed (吞下) an earring （耳环）and the young mother couldn’t ring for help because something was wrong with her phone.The three teenagers rushed to the aid of Ms Price, called an ambulance (救护车), calmed her down and waited with her until the ambulance arrived before heading to school.Ms Price, Corey and his grandmother Joyce Finnie visited the school last Thursday to thank the boys for their kind action. “It’s good to know that there are still some good people who will stop and help,” Ms Price said. “While I was shouting for help, a woman walking her dog went straight past, without stopping. I don’tknow what would have happened if these boys had n ot stopped.”The teenagers were shocked at the attention they received at school for their heroic act but admitted that the incident was nerve-racking(刺激神经的). “We heard her shouting so we knew something wasn’t right,” Andrew said, “We thought someone had died. It was scary（惊慌的）but we just did what we had to do.”Just as proud as the boys’ parents is their principal, Tim McCallum.After two days in hospital, Corey has now fully recovered. “He’s got two new teeth to show,” Ms Price said. “I have to keep a closer eye on him. He’s into everything now and grabs whatever he finds to put it straight into his mou th.”24.

A mother came to school to thank 3 teenagersCAccording to the Oxford English Dictionary，the term “couch potato” first appeared in print in a December 1979 edition of the Los Angeles Times. Since then，it has become a familiar term for a person who spends a lot of time sitting，and little time exercising. Although there does not seem to be any particular reasonwhy the term“couch potato”is used rather than “couch tomato”，a person may become a “couch potato” because living this way is said to make you round like a potato. The term is also said to have something to do with the connection of potatoes with high­calorie (卡路里)food like potato chips.People now would say “couch potato” whenever they talk about overweight and obesity(肥胖)．Indeed, “couch potatoes” are believed to risk heart disease，which can be avoided by regular exercise.It is true that technology and modern life in general makes us sick，fat，lazy and physically/mentally soft. The more time people spend using technology，particularly televisions and computers，the less time they will spend being physically active.“Couch potato” kids are a p articular concern(关心的事). Media reports repeatedly claim that children today are fatter than their elder generations，but less athletically（运动地） skilled，less interested in physical activity and more addicted(上瘾的)to “ junk food ” and technology such as televi sion and computers. The message is clear：today's children are fat because they are lazy and eat too much. Moreover，because technology is becoming more sophisticated(复杂的)，children are less able to resist(抵抗，忍得住)technology's attraction，and are more likely to spend more time using technology，less time doing physical activity and，therefore，more likely to be fat.28．The first paragraph is mainly talking about ．A．why “couch potato” is used as a term(专门词语) for a personB．when “couch potato” is used as a term for a personC．how “couch potato” is different from “couch tomato”D．what kind of person looks like a potato29．The development of technology also makes us sick because by using technology.A．we are more likely to risk heart disease in modern lifeB．we spend less time doing exerciseC．we needn't do many things by ourselves any moreD．we spend all our time watching TV and playing computer games30．It's kids' that people are particularly concerned about.A．food B．studyC．health D．hobby31．According to the passage，the author may suggest that ．A．scientists should stop their research into technologyB．parents should take better care of their childrenC．kids should be stopped from using new technologyD．people should spend less time using technologyDOctober 31st is Halloween when children in the UK dress up as ghosts, witches (巫婆) and all kinds of mysterious, wonderful but very scary creatures and go “trick or treating”. They visit their neighbors and show off their costumes and in return are given goodies (糖果).If children knock on your door on Halloween, you should be ready with treats (usually sweets or chocolate) for them. If you don’t hand over a treat, they might play a trick on you, like saying “Boo!”to try to scare you or play some other kind of harmless tricks.But the innocence (天真无邪) of Halloween could be on the wane. Police departments around the country say there’s been a sharp rise in anti-social（危害社会的） behavior linked to the traditional door-to-door Halloween calls.In Surrey Chief Inspector Stribblehill said, “The way people celebrate Halloween has been steadily (稳定地) changing over the last few years. I think ‘trick or treating’ has become more aggressive. It used to be pulling a horrible face or something equally harmless, but more and more youngsters are doing things like throwing eggs or flour, and that can be very frightening, particularly for the elderly and the youth.”This year, however, there’s been a change. A group of teenagers who were “trick or trea ting” in Bristol noticed a house on fire. They broke in through a window and saw 33-year-old Mike Starr unconscious (失去知觉的) on the floor. They dragged him out and helped him to hospital. One of the boys’ mothers said, “I’m really proud of them all.”So it seems a kinder, gentler Halloween might be coming for us all from now on.32. The underlined phrase “on the wane” in the third paragraph most probably means _____.A. on the wayB. on the increaseC. becoming less or weakerD. becoming more popular33. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Generally, children celebrate Halloween.B. Halloween treats are gifts like sweets and chocolate.C. The way children go “trick or treating” has changed suddenly in the last few years.D. A group of teenage boys rescued Mike Starr on Halloween.34. By writing the fifth paragraph, the writer really wanted to _____.A. say that Mike Starr was in danger when the house was on fireB. criticize the police for their wrong views towards the childrenC. express that the children are likely to have a kinder, gentler Halloween in futureD. show that the parents were proud of the children all the time35. What is the main idea of paragraphs(段) 1-2 ?A. The changing face（面貌） of HalloweenB. Children’s activities for HalloweenC. The origin（起源）of HalloweenD.
