They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland, but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night, the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight, my men，” he said, “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”They were all very tired, so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty, but they, too, were very tired, and one by one, also fell asleep.The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hill, taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more, the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle (蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment, they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it. But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.24．At first it looked as if the Romans would win because ________.A．the Scots were not braveB．there were so many RomansC．the Scots did not have a good leaderD．the Romans had the support from the Scottish25．“We must win or we will die.” What the leader of the Scots said means ________.A．they were sure to winB．they couldn't escape from deathC．they would win and then they would dieD．they must try hard to win，otherwise they would be killed26．The Romans climbed up the hill quietly because ________.A．they didn't want to wake the Scots upB．they wanted to reach the topC．they wanted to catch the four guards firstD．they were afraid of the sharp needles of the thistle27．The people of Scotland made thistle their national flower because ________. A．it is a beautiful plantB．it is fresh and lovelyC．it has so many sharp needles all over itD．it was the thistle that helped the Scots to win the battleCMillions of people all over the world use the word okay. In fact, some people say the word is used more often than any other word in the world.It may be common, but no one can seem to agree on how the "OK" came to be.Okay means "all right" or "acceptable". It expresses agreement or approval. You might ask your brother, “Is it okay if I borrow your car?”Or if someone asks you to do something, you might say," Okay, I will." Still, language experts do not agree about where the word came from.Some people say it came from the Native American Indian tribe known as the Choctaw. The Choctaw word "okeh" means the same as the American word okay. Experts say early explorers in the American West spoke the Choctaw language in the nineteenth century. The language spread across the country.But many people dispute(争论)this.Language expert Allen Walker Read wrote about the word okay in reports published in the 1960s.He said the word began being used in the 1830s.It was a short way of writing a different spelling of the words "all correct." Some foreign ﹣born people wrote "all correct" as "o﹣1﹣1k﹣o﹣r﹣r﹣e﹣c﹣t." and usedthe letters O.K.Other people say a railroad worker named Obadiah Kelly invented the word long ago. They said he put the first letters of his names﹣O and K﹣on each object people gave him to send on the train.Still others say a political organization invented the word. The organization supported Martin Van Buren for president in 1840.They called their group, the O.K. Club. The letters were taken from the name of the town where Martin Van Buren was born﹣Old Kinderhook, New York.Not everyone agrees with this explanation, either. But experts do agree that the word is purely American. And it has spread to almost every country on Earth.28. What is the text mainly about?A. How the word Okay came into being.B. The different meanings of the word Okay.C. The dispute of the origin of the word Okay.D. How widely the word Okay is used.29. What does the underlined word Okay express in the 2nd example in Paragraph 3?A. Promise.B. Admission.C. Permission.D. Correctness.30. How many explanations are given about the origin of the word okay?A. 3B. 4C. 5D.631. What do language experts agree on?A. Okay is the most widely﹣used word.B. It came from some Indian dialect.C. It was invented by a politician.D. It is first used by Americans.DNowadays, college applications put a lot of emphasis on community service hours. Most high schools also have graduation requirements. More and more people are volunteering their time. However, I have begun to think that this may not be the best way to approach community service.Some of my classmates tell me that they are highly involved in a voluntary organization for college applications. I ask them to explain in detail, and theyreply with "Oh, I have X number of hours." With further questioning I have discovered that these volunteers don't even know the responsibility of the organization! This deeply bothered me. At what point did community service enter the category of "Required" and “Step to getting into a good college" rather than the categories of "Doing Good Things" an d “How to Give Back"?Community service should not be just about getting into college, or about gathering points for your resume(简历). It should be about helping the greater community, and learning what it means to be a generous citizen of our world. As to choosing the organization, don't think about how you will benefit from it, but how your actions will help others.The main way to solve this issue would be to update the college and high-school requirements. Instead of just asking "how many hours have you volunteered", ask "how have your actions helped others". Look for personal commitment rather than concrete hours of community service.Next time you are volunteering, try to forget the fact that your hours are important, because really, they are not. Choose organizations that you are enthusiastic about. Don't volunteer because you have to. Volunteer because it is the right thing to do as a human being. Next time you hear a friend commenting on how many hours they have, remind them that it isn't the numbers that change the world.32.
