B
When I was in elementary school, my teachers always complained about my behavior in class. There was no doubt that I had a great deal of energy, and therefore I always talked with my classmates and sometimes I didn’t pay attention to the lessons, which always made my teachers angry. If you don’t believe me, the comments (评语) on my report cards every year can tell you the story.
In my third year of elementary school, my teacher wrote, “Neil should have a more serious attitude towards his schoolwork.” And in my fifth year, my teacher wrote, “Neil doesn’t work hard to complete his work and his compositions. He has to be encouraged and urged by his parents or teachers.” And after only a few months, my sixth-grade teacher wrote, “Less social involvement and more academic diligence (勤奋) is in order.”
Later that same school year, my sixth-grade teacher noticed that all my book reports were about the universe ( 宇宙). Knowing that I had a lot of extra energy, she suggested that I take advantage of after-school classes about the universe at the Hayden Planetarium.
From then on, my interest in the universe became stronger and stronger. Instead of killing my time in class, I focused my extra energy on the subject that might become my career in the future. Between the ages of eleven and seventeen, I took about eight courses on the universe. I received an attractive certificate ( 证书) on successful completion of the course, signed by both the instructor and the head of the Hayden Planetarium.
Now I am the director of the Hayden Planetarium and a research associate (合伙人) of the Department of Astrophysics at the American Museum of Natural History, both in New York City. We still offer these classes today and give out certificates of completion, which are signed by the instructor and me. Welcome to take extra classes here.
24. What can we learn about the author in his elementary school from the passage? A. He was always energetic and diligent.
B. He took his teachers’ comments seriously every term. C. He performed badly in his studies and made trouble in class. D. He always showed little interest in after-class activities. 25. The author’s sixth-grade teacher advised him to _____. A. focus his extra energy on the study of the universe B. leave his school for the Hayden Planetarium C. make up his mind to find his career in the future D. get encouragement from his parents

I often dreamed about Pisa when I was a boy. I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa. But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza. I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza. It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world, I thought.
Many years later I finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that it was Pisa and no pizza. But there was still something special about it for me. The tower got its name because it really does lean to one side. Some people want to try to fix（修理）it. They are afraid it may fall over and they don’t like it leans over the city.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will not fall down. It is 600 yeas old. Why should anything happen to it now? And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like now. To me it is a very human kind of leaning. Nothing is perfect, it seems to say.
And who cares? Why do people want things to be perfect? Imperfect things may be more interesting. Let’s take the tower of Pisa for example. Why is it so famous? There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy. But Pisa tower is the most famous. People come from all over the world to see it.
28. This passage is about _______.
A.why the writer likes Pisa
B.how the Leaning Tower of Pisa got its name C.what are Italy’s problems D.how the Italian pizza was made
29. The writer used to think Pisa ________.
A.in Spain C.the same as pizza 30. The writer ________.
B.not the same as pizza D.not very famous
A.doesn’t like what the tower looks like B.thinks it’s the most beautiful tower in Italy C.doesn’t like towers
