One day,feeling very sad and lonely,she was walking through a grassland when she noticed a small butterfly caught in a thorn(荆棘)bush. The young girl carefully released the butterfly. Instead of flying away,the little butterfly changed into a beautiful fairy(仙女).The young girl rubbed her eyes in disbelief. “For your wonderful kindness,” the good fairy said to the girl,“I will give you any wish you would like.” The little girl thought for a moment and then replied,“I want to be happy.” The fairy leaned toward her and whispered in her ear. Then the fairy disappeared. As the little girl grew up,there was no one in the land as happy as she. Everyone asked her the secret of happiness. She would only smile and answer,“The secret of my happiness is that I listened to a good fairy when I was a little girl.” When she was very old and on her deathbed,the neighbors all gathered around her,and feared that her unbelievable secret of happiness would die with her.“Tell us,please,” they begged,“Tell us what the good fairy said.” The lovely old woman simply smiled and said,“She told me that everyone,no matter how secure they seemed,no matter how old or young,how rich or poor,had need of me.” 21 ______ the girl felt sad and lonely. A. There were many friends but B. There was nobody to love her so C. There was nothing to do so D. Seeing the butterfly was caught 22 Noticing the butterfly was caught by the thorn,the girl ______. A. helped the butterfly escaped from the thorn B. felt sorrow,but she didn't go up to help it C. fell down on it too D. failed to help it release from the thorn 23 The butterfly ______ after it was saved by the little girl.

A. to be rich B. to have her own parents C. to have a lot of friends D. happiness B E-reading and e-books are slowly conquering the world. Compared to traditional paper books,e-books in some schools and universities attract more interest because the information flow seems much easier to manage and comes in a greatly higher quantity. Japan is known for the reform-minded attitude towards the gadget(精巧装置)world and for the fact that it is one of the first countries that encouraged in the educational system the emailing of homework. The digital textbook looks like the logical step in the world of learning. It is natural but it is also completely untraditional. The plan of the largest publishing companies to get in line with the trend is to save a large quantity of paper and make the kids become interested in learning using a cool gadget. Many USA universities and colleges have made students be used to the procedure of downloading the courses and of course the procedure involves interactive software and also the chance of using the computer. The traditional education system is still unwilling when it comes to giving up books. The standard approach of information taught out of a book and Shakespeare read out of an old school novel makes studying English as traditional as it can be. In a world where kids would rather see the movie than read a book,the digital age has brought along a completely different flavor to reading. Bringing that flavor in school will make teaching a greener and also a completely different matter. 25 Why are e-books so popular in the world? A. It's cheap to buy. B. It's effective to use. C. It's convenient to bring. D. It's the latest fashion. 26 Which of the following words can best take the place of the word “reformminded” in the second paragraph? A. Old-fashioned. B. Aggressive. C. Rejecting. D. Progressive. 27 In America,the students are encouraged to______. A. apply the procedure of downloading the courses B. communicate with their teachers using computers C. research some interactive software for their studies D. do their homework in computer instead of in paper 28 What's the author's attitude to the digital textbooks?
