Cleaning up the table, I caught sight f small rund plastic pieces. I discvered they were the tps r cvers f clr markers I had kept n the table. The nly difference was that smene gt thse cvers and chewed them int shapelessness. On anther part f the table, I saw the clr markers dried up withut cvers. I was almst sure I knew wh had dne it and I culd nt understand the mtivatin behind his actins.
As I cnsidered my discvery, my frustratin and disappintment gradually went away when I remembered that as a child, I did several weird things that must have bthered my mther. I cut ur shes, I chewed pens and pencils, and I wrte and drew pictures n walls and destryed many items at hme. The mind f a child is curius and explrative, seeking t understand and test the limits f many things. Of curse, it can be cstly, but what is grwing up if n mistakes are made?
We call it paying the schl fees f life. If a child plays with a ht irn and it burns them, it is a given that they will nt g near the irn again. Smetimes I watch the children in my neighbrhd playing dangerus games. Occasinally, I have gt myself invlved and spken up, but smetimes I let it pass. Until smene has fallen ff their bike, they may nt want t be tld t stp riding with reckless abandn. Until a child has fallen dwn, they will nt listen when asked t get dwn frm the tree. Hwever, wisdm shws that if the behavir is deadly, yu shuld get invlved in time.
Creativity is a valuable quality. And this is why we shuld encurage children t remain innvative rather than be simple recipients f everything they have knwn and seen. Allw children t make mistakes, but this must be fllwed with supervisin (监督), mnitring, and crrectin.
24．What happened t the authr’s clr markers?
A．They were stlen.
B．They were destryed.
C．They were thrwn away.
D．They were cleaned by mistake.
25．Hw did the authr mst prbably react when she thught f her childhd?
A．She was disappinted in herself.
B．She gt very regretful.
C．She lst her mind.
D．She calmed dwn.
26．What des the authr mainly want t shw in Paragraph 3?
A．Mistakes are unavidable fr children.
B．Children can learn frm their mistakes.
C．Children ften put themselves in danger.
D．Sme lessns f life are t painful t bear.
27．What des the passage mainly talk abut?

Sprts accunt fr a grwing amunt f incme made n the sales f cmmercial time by televisin cmpanies. Many televisin cmpanies have used sprts t attract viewers frm particular sectins f the general public, and then they have sld audiences t advertisers.
An attractin f sprt prgrams fr the majr US media cmpanies is that events are ften held n Saturday and Sunday afternns—the slwest time perids f the week fr general televisin viewing. Sprt events are the mst ppular weekend prgrams, especially amng male viewers wh may nt watch much televisin at ther times during the week. This means the televisin netwrks are able t sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what nrmally wuld be dead time fr prgramming.
Media crpratins als use sprts t attract cmmercial spnsrs that might take their advertising dllars elsewhere if televisin statins did nt reprt certain sprts. The peple in the advertising departments f majr crpratins realize that sprts attract male viewers. They als realize that mst business travelers are men and that many men make family decisins n the purchases f cmputers, cars and life insurance.
Glf and tennis are special cases fr televisin prgramming. These sprts attract few viewers, and the ratings are unusually lw. Hwever, the audience fr these sprts is attractive t certain advertisers. It is made up f peple frm the highest incme grups in the United States，including many lawyers and business managers. This is why televisin reprting f glf and tennis is spnsred by cmpanies selling high-priced cars, business and persnal cmputers, and hliday trips. This is als why the netwrks cntinue t carry these prgrams regardless f lw ratings. Advertisers are willing t pay high fees t reach high-incme cnsumers and thse managers wh make decisins t buy thusands f “cmpany cars” and cmputers, with such viewers, these prgrams dn ’t need high ratings t stay n the air.
28．What d we knw abut sprt prgrams in the US?
A．They are nly bradcast during weekends.
B．They struggle t attract female viewers.
C．They bring mre mney t the televisin netwrks.
D．They make weekends dead time fr prgramming.
29．In many families, men usually make decisins n ______.
A．travel destinatinsB．grcery shpping
C．family sprts budgetD．expensive purchases
30．Why aren ’t the ratings imprtant fr glf and tennis prgrams?
A．These prgrams dn ’t make mney frm advertisements.
B．These prgrams are spnsred t attract rich peple.
C．These prgrams charge viewers high channel fees.
D．These prgrams aim at increasing the ppularity f the sprts.
31．What is the passage mainly abut?
A．Male viewers dminate the TV audience.
B．Rich viewers cntribute mst t televisin cmpanies.
C．Sprts are gaining imprtance in advertising n televisin.
D．Cmmercial advertisers are the majr spnsrs f sprt events.

If there’s ne lessn Featherstne hpes t cnvey t kids, it’s a respect fr all life. “We’re respecting the animals and we’re respecting each ther,” he said.

I miss yu s much.” My grandma said happily with tears rlling dwn her face. In the fllwing days, I accmpanied my grandma and tk care f her. Sn she recvered. It is nt nly the sandwich but als grandma’s lve fr me that helps her recver.
