19、d I walk to school we wear kerchiefs over our mouths so we dont breathe in the dirt.

20、ing sunshine and a clear blue sky. After lunch, Papa headed out to the field to check the cattle while I played with Faye in the yard. The temperature suddenly dropped. I looked to the west and saw a huge black cloud of dust. All the birds flew away. “I must warn Papa,” I thought to myself. To avoid
21、 her panicking, I gently told Faye to go back inside where she would be safe, and then headed off to the field.The storm hit so fast, and in an instant the day turned into night. By the time I entered the cow field the fine sand was whipping across my face. I screamed for Papa, hoping my voice would
22、 lead him back.The dirt and sand stung my skin like a thousand bees. Although I was terrified, I refused to turn back. My dad was stranded and needed my help. Covering my face with one hand, I groped my way toward the truck and opened the door. First I tried turning the trucks light on and off, hopi

28、D. Fearless and sympathetic.CWith Halloween just around the corner, today we will explore the world of ghosts in this program! The Merriam-Webster online dictionary says the word “ghost” goes back a thousand years to the “earliest recorded evidence of the language”. The first meaning of “ghost” was
29、“the seat of life or intelligence”. And it still has that meaning in some expression.However, today, the word “ghost” usually means the soul of a dead person. This meaning is based on the idea that a persons spirit and body are separate. The spirit can continue existing long after the body has died.
30、During Halloween, kids dressed as ghosts are common sights. The costume is very simple: just throw on a white cloth that covers you from head to foot. But do not expect to win any costume competitions! You would not have a ghost of a chance. People use this expression to mean that something is very
31、unlikely to happen.The sight might even make you turn pale as a ghost. This is used when people lose color in their face. Sometimes this happens when a person is scared. But a bad cold and flu can also turn you as pale as a ghost.“Ghost” can also be a verb. In the 1880s the term ghost meant a person
32、 who works in secret for another person. Ghostwriters produce speeches for politicians. They also produce books for authors who want to tell their life stories but are not professional writers.And sometimes ghostwriters are involved in a series of books, like the childrens stories based on the teena
33、ge detective Nancy Drew. The stories began in 1930. The author given credit was Carolyn Keene. But she was not even real! Ghostwriters did all the work.Another expression using “ghost” as a verb is simply to ghost. This does not mean to die. It means to leave a place or event without saying “goodbye
34、” to anyone. You can ghost from your job. You can ghost from a party. You can even ghost from a relationship. This is when you stop communicating with someone because you are simply no longer interested in them.28. The basic meaning of the word “ghost” nowadays is .A. the secret of another person.B.
35、 the color of ones face.C. the spirit of a dead person.D. the origin of intelligence.29. If someone says “you dont have a ghost of chance to win the match”, he means .A. without doubt you wont lose the match.B. the match is unlikely to happen.C. its impossible for you to win the match.D. you are too
36、 scared to win the match.30. What can be inferred about the word “ghost” according to the passage?A. Kids dressed in a white cloth like ghosts can win a costume competition.B. A bad cold can turn people as pale as a ghost because they fear illness.C. It was Carolyn Keene who ghostwrote the childrens
37、 stories.D. A person devoted to his job is unlikely to ghost from his job.31. This passage is likely to appear in .A. a Halloween posterB. a radio programC. a fashion magazineD. a newspaper advertisementDNot too long ago, one of my daughters middle-school teachers told me that my daughter was spendi
38、ng a lot of time on her phone during class. This didnt surprise me. I am a filmmaker and Im making documentary(纪录片) “Screenagers: Growing up in the Digital Age” carefully because I know how strongly technology attracts youth and how confused we are about what to do about that.This month, the screena
39、gers team and I completed a survey of people who were interested in the topic of our film to gather data on middle-school phone rules. More than 1,200 middle school parents in the United States responded. Two striking findings appeared:55% of the parents said their childrens middle schools now allow
40、 cell phone use, with public schools being more likely than private schools to allow it.More than 80% of parents do not want their kids to use cell phones during school.Recently, France announced it is banning cell phones in school for all students age 15 and under, starting next fall. From our surv
41、ey, its not only parents who support “away for the day” policies, which require students to leave their phones out of reach - so does science.We know that the frontal lobe(脑叶) - the part of the brain responsible for impulse(冲动) control - is not fully developed in middle school-aged children. When we
42、 expect kids to learn how to handle phone use in places like classrooms, we are setting many of them up for failure.Schools prohibiting(禁止) cell phones saw student test scores improve by 6.41%, according to a 2015 study from the United Kingdom. In the US, administrators of schools that have adopted
43、“away for the day” policies have reported improvements in students emotional well-being too.It is time we should follow Frances lead and do what is best for our middle-school students today.32. Why did the author feel no surprise about her daughters behavior?A. Her daughter didnt work very hard.B. T
