21．　　Strawberries look nice, but a light pressure can make them out of shape. Nowadays, there are many young people who are just like strawberries. They easily break down when they face difficulties. They don't know what to do when they are in trouble. They have a common name — strawberry kids.
　　Why are many students so easy to break down? Parents and schools are a main reason. Parents do almost everything for them in their daily life, while schools care more about their grades instead of developing their personality (个性).

I also advise you to take an active part in sports and social activities. That can make you mentally strong."

22．　　I am Turere. I come from Kitengela, a farming community on the edge (边缘) of Nairobi National Park of Kenya (肯尼亚). Since the age of nine, I have helped to look after my family's cows. As a child, in my free time, I enjoyed playing with electronics. I made my own inventions, such as electronics toys from car parts and other things. I also built other electronic devices (仪器) for my neighbors.
　　At the age of 13, I invented something that changed my life. It also changed the lives of many people in my community. One night, a lion from the park came into my family's farm and killed one of our cows. I was angry. However, killing the lion, I thought, was not the best way to solve the problem. Instead, I decided to invent a solution.
　　The first idea I got was to use fire, because I thought lions were scared of fire. But I came to realize that didn't really help, because it was even helping the lions to see through the cowshed (牛棚). But I didn't give up. I continued.
　　And a second idea I got was to use a scarecrow (稻草人). I was trying to trick the lions in thinking that I was standing near the cowshed. But lions are very clever. They will come the first day and they see the scarecrow, and they go back. But the second day, they'll come and they say , this thing is not moving here, it s always here! So he jumps in and kills the animal.
　　So one night, I was walking around the cowshed with a torch (手电筒), and that day the lions didn't come. And I discovered that lions were afraid of a moving light. So I had an idea. ..

24．Where you sit and how your fit
　　(1)       For more than seventy years, researchers and teachers have studied the link between the place where students choose to sit in class and what they are like as people and learners. Where do you usually decide to sit? Have you ever thought about the reasons for your decision?
　　(2)       But is this really true? Well, some researchers say it is not. In fact, shy students often choose the back row because it is far away from the teacher and they don't want to answer questions. At the back, students probably won't speak much, but in big classrooms, it can be hard to see the board and hear what the teacher is saying. This could be the reason why students who sit there often get lower grades on tests and exams. For students with poor eyesight or hearing, a seat at the back of the classroom is not a good choice.
　　(3)       However, they like watching and listening rather than joining in. These students are usually also very good at taking notes. Next time you miss a class, borrow notes from someone who sits here. On the sides of the classroom you will generally find modest and thoughtful people. These people usually get good grades in school and are interested in learning.
　　(4)       Then the statistics (统计数据) say you probably like your teacher. You probably also have a good relationship with your classmates. Caring, outgoing and cheering people usually sit in the middle. They are normally serious about learning and feel disappointed with low grades on tests and exams.
　　(5)       Students who sit here usually want to discuss thing with the teacher and are often very interested in subjects. They want to be in the best place to see and hear everything the teacher does and says. The only problem with sitting here is that it can be difficult to see and hear what other students do and say in class. So, if you really want to hear what everyone says in class, choose a different place to sit.

33．　　Mr. Lee, the head teacher of Starlight School, (1)             (write) an email to all the teachers and students yesterday.

34．The Seed Vault (种子地窖)
　　A lot of countries need different kinds of seeds so that they can plant them again. There is an important reason for this. Sometimes plants can't grow in a country because of bad weather or disease, so farmers need new seeds.
　　You can keep seeds in a "seed vault". It's a place at a special temperature. The seeds don't grow, but they can live for a long time. Norway has the biggest seed vault in the world — the Svalbard Global Seed Vault－and it has seeds from a lot of different countries.
　　The vault is on the island of Spitsbergen. The island is about one thousand kilometers from the North Pole. It's a very cold place so it's good for seeds. Above the ground, the doorway, is small, but inside, the building is huge. You walk down a long corridor (走廊) which is one hundred and thirty meter inside a mountain. At the end of it, there are three large areas with seeds.
　　There are about half a million kinds of seeds inside the vault. For example, there are kinds of seeds for rice from Asia and Africa, 32 kinds of seeds for potatoes from Ireland and seeds for different tomatoes from the USA.
　　The seed vault has space for a lot more seeds. You can put about 2. 2 billion (十亿) seeds inside. The seeds can live here for thousands of years because of the cold temperature of -18℃. So, in the future, humans can grow any seed they want. In other words, the seeds vault is the difference between life and death.
