For some years, my mother worked for a charity as President and Secretary. Selling raffle tickets (兑奖券) was her main means of bringing in the charity’s much-needed funds. We girls would accompany her, selling tickets with great success. My father made and donated beautiful wooden toys, jewellery boxes and other lovely items as prizes.
Now my sister was always coming up with “good ideas”, most of which didn’t work out to plan. But that didn’t deter her. She had many just waiting to be tested. When she was eight and I was just five, we had a wonderful idea for a business adventure. We decided we would sell raffle tickets for charity, and that charity was us!
So one afternoon, we told our mother we were going to play in the park with our cousins as we did most days after school. But instead, we walked around the streets armed with a raffle book, a pen and a large cloth bag to carry the money.
We’d accompanied our mother many times when she sold tickets, so people were familiar with us when we appeared at their doors. Despite the blank looks they received when asking about the prizes on offer, they were very generous. Although there were no actual prizes, our mother’s previous track record enabled us to sell nearly the whole book of raffle tickets.
Like a little pair of lottery (彩票) winners, we walked home and proudly showed off our takings. But our enjoyment of this sudden wealth was short-lived, and our plans for spending it quickly failed. Our angry mother took us back to every ticket buyer, making us apologise and give the money back. Thankfully, our sweet neighbours didn’t make a big deal of our “clever” misbehavior and thus my mother’s fundraising career could continue safely. We were taught a good lesson by our mother that day. Also I remember my sister’sentrepreneurial (企业家的) spirit dried up a bit after that. 14. What did the author’s father do?

C．They got lost while walking around the streets.
D．They took advantage of people’s trust in their mother. 17. What lesson did the author and her sister learn?

Hybrid cars are cars that run on both petrol and electricity. They have a small standard petrol engine and a battery and electric motor to provide electric power.
There are some differences between different models of hybrid cars, but the general principle is that the car runs on petrol, and the electric motor kicks in when additional power is required, for example when going uphill or speeding up. In some hybrid cars the petrol engine turns itself off when not needed, for example when the car has stopped at traffic lights, keeping only the electric engine running.
Traditional cars have large engines to cope with driving uphill and speeding up.Most of the time, this high engine capacity is not needed, but the engine continues burning up fuel. Hybrid cars have much smaller petrol engines, powered by electric motors when needed, so they use less petrol.
Hybrid cars are also lighter and aerodynamically(空气动力学的)designed for greater fuel efficiency.
Another way that fuel consumption is cut is by a system of“regenerative braking”(刹车). The electric motor is used to slow down the car, rather than traditional brakes. The energy produced by the slowing car is transformed into electrical power, which is automatically stored in the battery. In effect, the battery recharges when you brake. In traditional cars the energy produced when braking is wasted.
Car producers and engineers have been experimenting with electric and hybrid cars since the late 19th century. In 1928 Ferdinand Porsche built an experimental hybrid car that used both an internal burning engine and electric motors.The first mass-produced hybrid car, the Toyota Prius, came out in Japan at the end of 1997.However, Hybrid cars became available in the USA only in 1999, when the Honda Insight went on sale.
As they use less fuel, hybrid cars are cheaper to run. There are also many advantages in place to encourage people to buy them. In some countries, hybrid car owners pay a lower rate of tax, and don’t have to pay on certain toll roads(收费公路). In some cities around the world, hybrid cars are allowed to park for free. 18. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. Hybrid cars don’t need petrol any more.
B. Petrol engine and electric motor work all the way. C. Hybrid cars mainly depend on electric power to run.
D. Some hybrid car petrol engines will quit when unnecessary. 19. Which is NOT the reason why hybrid cars consume less energy?
A. Smaller petrol engines. B. Scientific design. C. Traditional brakes. D. Energy storage. 20. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Hybrid cars are cheaper to buy.
B. Hybrid car owners don’t have to pay tax.
C. Hybrid car owners don’t need to pay parking fee. D. Hybrid cars will have a bright future.

It’s a popular belief that a fish’s memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been, and they don’t identify you or any of their friends -- every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.
But don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain kinds of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago. In the study, researchers from Mac Ewan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.
In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively (挑衅地)in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past “fights”. But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.
Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild. “If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risks,” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.
For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.
22. According to the article, people commonly believe that _______. A. fish can only remember part of their past experiences B. fish can remember things that happened long time ago C. a fish’s memory lasts for only seven minutes D. fish don’t recognize any of their friends
23. What's the biggest advantage fish can get from a good memory? A. They remember where to get food and survive B. They can avoid their enemies and fight C. They can easily find safe places
D. They can recognize their helpful mates
24. Which of the following is TRUE about African cichlids? A. African cichlids tend to treat other fish aggressively. B. African cichlids may remember things for 12 days.
