17．(4分)     Scientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again. They want to bring water to the deserts, so people can live and grow food. They are learning a lot about the deserts. But more and more earth is becoming desert all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth.
     Some places on the earth don't get much rain. But they still don't become desert. This is because some green plants are growing there.

     There was a kingdom long, long ago. It was ruled by king who loved riddles. Once a year the king made a new riddle. He gave a prize to the person who could solve the riddle.
     There was a baker who also lived in this kingdom. Everyone agreed that he baked the finest breads. The baker had almost everything he needed except for a horse. If the baker had a horse, he could sell his fine breads from one end of the kingdom to the other.
     One year the king made a new riddle that puzzled everyone. "I will give a prize to the person who can solve my riddle," the king said. Whoever wins will have the pick of one of my strongest horses." He then drew a line down the middle of the courtyard. "Make this line shorter without erasing (清除) any part of it," the king challenged.
     People came from far and wide. They looked at the line and squinted at it. They even put their noses to the ground and scratched their heads.
     "How can you make a line shorter without erasing any part of it?" the people in the crowd asked each other. Some of them tried. The dressmaker kicked dirt (泥土) over the line to hide it. The farmer poured water over the line to make it disappear. None of these efforts worked, and the people went home disappointed. Everyone was puzzled about how to solve this new riddle.
     A week passed, and nobody had any new ideas. Then one day the baker came into the courtyard with a bag of flour (面粉).
     "Your Majesty," the baker said to the king, "I can make your line shorter without erasing any part of it." Then the baker opened his bag of flour. He poured out a line of flour right next to the king's line. The line the baker made was longer than the king's line.
     "Now, good king," the baker smiled, "your line is shorter."
     The people were amazed. The king laughed and clapped his hands. "You have won the prize. I will give you a horse of your choice."
     The baker was excited. Now he could sell his breads from one end of the kingdom to the other.
(1)What was the baker's problem at the beginning of the story?

21．(5分)     In the city of Guiyang, China, lives a girl named Li Fang. When she was a teenager, she dreamed of going to the United States.   1   "I had a picture of the daddy sitting in the living room, the mommy doing some cooking and their kids playing games on the floor."
     Li Fang decided to go to college in California. When she arrived, however, it was not the dream world she had imagined, "People were struggling with problems and often seemed unhappy and too busy," she said. "  2  "
     One of her most difficult classes was P.E. When the class played volleyball, the other students were good at it but she wasn't. One afternoon, the P.E. teacher had Li Fang hit the ball to her teammates so that they could knock it over the net. It was not a big deal for most people, but it made Li Fang scared.   3  
     A young man on her team seemed to understand what she was going through. He walked up to her and whispered (小声说), "  4  "
     Li Fang said, "You will never understand how those words of encouragement made me feel. Four words: You can do that. I felt like crying with happiness." Perhaps she thanked the young man; she can't remember it.
     Six years has passed. Li Fang is back in China, working as a salesclerk. "I have never forgotten the words.   5  " She said, "I am sure the young man had no idea how much his kindness meant to me. He probably doesn't even remember it. From this experience, I have learned a lesson. Whenever you say something to a person—cruel or kind—you have no idea how long the words will stay with them." She is back in China. But still she hears those four simple words: You can do that.
     A.I felt very lonely.
     B.Come on. You can do that.
     C.Don't worry. I can help you.
     D.When things are not going well, I think of them.
     E.She was afraid of failing and being laughed at by others.
     F.Most of what she knew about American life was from textbooks.
