24、Long ago, there was a man called Sessa. He invented a new game to make his friend, the king, happy. He called it “chess”. The king loved it and decided to give him anything he liked. However, Sessa told the king he only wanted some grains of wheat (小麦粒).
“What?” said the king, greatly surprised.
“Since you enjoy my chessboard so much, just give me a grain of wheat on the first square (方格) of the chessboard, two grains on the second square, four for the third, and so on. Each square doubles the last,” replied Sessa.
“Very well!” the king told his prime minister (大臣), “give it to him!”
The first day, when the prime minister gave Sessa a grain of wheat, everyone laughed loudly.
The second day, he got two. The ninth day, Sessa received 256 grains. It took Sessa 16 days to get enough wheat to fill a large bag, but only one more day to get two bags.

26、Can’t find any place on Earth for your next holiday? Lucky for you, Space tourism is no longer a thing of science fiction. A Californian company is going to offer you a chance to take a vacation in space by building a hotel in orbit (轨道).
The Orbital Assembly Corporation plans to build Voyager Station, a space hotel that includes rooms for tourists, in 2026, and open it in 2027. It will be able to carry up to 400 people.
The space hotel will be shaped like a large wheel, with 24 space pods (舱) around the outside of the 200-meter-wide structure. Each pod is 24 meters long and 12 meters wide. The pods will be used for restaurants, bars, gyms, rooms for tourists, laboratories for research and so on.
The company says that some pods will even be private homes that people can buy. “Finally, going to space will just be another choice for people’s vacation, just like going on a cruise, or going to Disney World,” said Tim Alatorre, senior architect (建筑师) of the space hotel. He said that the space hotel may even include a concert hall and a movie theater.
The company says that the space hotel will have gravity (重力) that is about one-sixth as strong as Earth’s. The low gravity means people can do things like jump higher, lift heavier things and enjoy sports such as basketball in a new way.

27、Advice on Preparing a Healthy Meal for Your Pet Dog
There are many reasons to prepare your dog’s food. He might be a picky eater, or you may want to avoid giving him additives in the dog food you buy, or maybe you just want to show your dog some love. If you only make a homemade healthy meal sometimes, don’t worry too much about balancing the nutrition (营养), if you plan to feed your dog homemade meals for a long time, you’ll need to consider more about it.
Ask an animal nutritionist for help. What is good for one dog may not be the best for your dog. This is especially true if you’re feeding a growing puppy instead of an adult dog. It will be better if your dog has a meal plan that’s designed for his specific dietary needs. | |
Know what foods to avoid feeding your dog. Some foods we humans safely eat are actually harmful or even toxic to dogs. You should avoid feeding your dog: ×Onion or garlic (大蒜). The stronger the garlic smell is, the more dangerous it is. × Grapes and nuts. These cause kidney (肾脏) failure. ×Chocolate. It can cause choking and even kill your dog. | |
Include protein. Meat should make up the biggest part of your dog’s meal to provide enough energy. However, meat should not make up more than half of the meal. For example, your dog’s meal could be 50% chicken, 25% rice, and 25% vegetables. | |
Consider feeding your dog fish. Fish for your dog is like milk for your kids. It has high levels of omega fatty acids which are necessary for a healthy hair. Fish is also rich in vitamin D which helps your dog get Ca into strong bones. You can offer your dog a small amount of fish every day or a fish meal twice a week. |
【1】The underlined word “additives” probably means ________.
A.energy which comes from food
B.materials which may be harmful
C.snacks that the dogs love very much
D.grain products that are not delicious
【2】You visited Tina and found dog’s hair everywhere. After reading the passage, what will you say to help her?
A.“Why not add some fish to the meal?”
B.“You’d better often comb the dog hair.”
C.“Feed the dog as much chicken as you can.”
D.“Taking the dog for a bath will be a good choice.”
【3】According to the passage, which is a better meal for dogs?
A.
B.
C.
D.
【4】According to the passage, which of the following about feeding pet dogs is CORRECT?
A.Get advice from nutritionist whenever they want to make a meal for dogs.
B.The older the dog is, the more necessary it is to make a special diet plan.
