In a small village, there was a wise old man named Ryan. One day, his young nephew（侄子）Keith came to visit him. During their talk, Keith said he was sad and worried about his little progress（进步）in learning the guitar. He tried hard, but he just couldn’t improve much.
Keith asked his uncle for advice. “Follow me.” said Ryan, and he led Keith up to the high hills around the village. This road was long and difficult, but Keith followed the old man. As they got higher, Ryan said that he needed to go to the top of the highest hill where he had never been to. Keith was surprised but decided to help his uncle.
With great difficulty, Keith helped his uncle climb the hill. Sometimes he even carried the old man on his back. At the top, he put his uncle back on the ground and laughed with joy.

What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much money
The tricks（把戏）usually start before you walk in. Outside the supermarket, anybody who walks past can smell warm, fresh bread. That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food, not just bread.
Now you’re inside and, of course, a small basket would be fine, but they all provide（提供） trolleys. And of course the problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two products（产品）inside. So we may put in other things. In fact, supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more.
Of course, many people shop in supermarkets because they think everything is cheaper than in other shops. So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products. One new trick is to put red stickers on products. Customers usually think red stickers mean lower prices, so the red stickers are easy to be noticed, even the price is not off! Interestingly, this trick seems to work more with men than with women.
There is a story behind the position（位置）of everything in the supermarket. For example, customers often only go to buy milk. So they put it right at the back and you need to go past hundreds of shelves full of other products. The position of products on each shelf is also important. For example, the products that children might like are on lower shelves so that kids can see and even reach them.
Except（除了）what you see and smell in a supermarket, what about the music you listen to In most supermarkets they have soft, slow music. It’s so relaxing that you slow down and spend more time in the store.
So, next time you go into a supermarket, remember these tricks and see if you can come out with just the things you want.
23．The smell from the bread in the supermarket can make you ________.
A．buy less bread than you need B．hungry and want to buy more things
C．want to leave the supermarket D．happy and go to the bread store
24．What can we learn from the passage
A．Supermarkets provide trolleys because it’s easy to go shopping.
B．All the things are cheaper in supermarkets than in other shops.
C．Men like to buy things with red stickers more than women.
D．The products for children are usually on higher shelves.
25．The passage is mainly about ________.
A．some tricks that make people go into the supermarkets
B．several ways supermarkets use to sell more products
C．some advice when people go shopping on the street
D．several rules that every supermarket should follow
Many kids help parents to do chores in the house. They may take out the trash, walk the dog or clean the floor. In return, some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games.
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Jane Smith, a parenting educator and family coach（指导）. She believes if kids get rewards, they may think that work isn’t worth（值得）doing unless you get something in return. For example, kids won’t clean the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will do it if their parents reward them for it.
“Every house is a team effort（努力）,” Jane said. “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have a responsibility（责任）to keep our home clean.”
Other people have different ideas. They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn about how we need to work to make money.
Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital（电子的）gifts that can be used either online or in life. With the Chore Monster, kids get digital points after they do chores. Kids can exchange（交换）their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the shop.” Our goal is to encourage kids to do chores so they can get rewards, “ says Joe Black, the founder（创始人）of Chore Monster.” Kids need positive（积极的）power to make them do chores.”
26．The word “rewards” in paragraph 1 means ________.
A．reasons B．prizes C．shows D．excuses
27．Jane Smith thinks that ________.
A．housework isn’t worth doing B．parents should do chores at home
C．kids should get something in return D．kids shouldn’t get rewards for doing chores
28．What’s the purpose of the apps mentioned in the passage
A．To encourage kids to do chores. B．To let kids play more video games.
C．To give kids digital points and gifts. D．To make kids keep their home clean.
四、阅读回答问题
根据短文内容回答问题。
For more than seventy years, psychologists（心理学家）and teachers have studied the link（联系）between the place where students choose to sit in class and what they are like as people and learners.
At the back
People often think that students who sit at the back are lazy（懒惰的）. But some researchers say it is not. In fact, shy students often choose the back row because they probably won’t speak much. 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 here often get lower grades on tests and exams.
At the side
Students who choose to sit on the sides of the classroom are usually gentle（文静的）and thoughtful. They are usually interested in class. They like watching and listening but they don’t like joining in. These students are usually also very good at taking notes. These people usually get good grades in school and are interested in learning.
In the middle
Do you sit in the middle of the classroom Then you probably like your teacher. You probably also have a good relationship with your classmates. Caring, outgoing, and cheerful students usually choose to sit in the middle. They are usually serious（认真的）about learning and feel disappointed（失望的）with low grades on tests and exams.
At the front
Students at the front usually want to discuss things with the teacher and are often very interested in the subject. They want to be in the best place to see and hear everything the teacher does and says. But it can be difficult to see and hear what other students do and say in class.
Now, think about where you sit and how you fit.
29．Why do shy students often choose the back row
_________________________________________
30．Are the students who sit at the side usually good at taking notes
_________________________________________
31．Where do students probably sit if they like their teacher
