22、   A poor farmer had a friend who was famous for the wonderful apples he grew.

One day, his friend gave the farmer a young apple tree and told him to take it home and plant it. The farmer was pleased with the gift, but when he got home, he did not know where to plant it.

He was afraid that if he planted the tree near the road, strangers would steal the fruit. If he planted the tree in one of his fields, his neighbors would come at night and steal some of the apples. If he planted the tree near his house, his children would take the fruit.

Finally he planted the tree in his woods(树林) where no one could see it. But without sunlight and good soil, the tree soon died.

Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a poor place. “What's the difference？” the farmer said angrily. “If I had planted the tree near the road, strangers would have stolen the fruit. If I had planted the tree in one of my fields, my neighbors would have come at night and stolen some of the apples. If I had planted it near my house, my own children would have taken the fruit.”

“Yes,” said the friend, “but at least someone could have enjoyed the fruit. Now you not only  have robbed(抢夺) everyone of the fruit, but also you have destroyed(摧毁) a good apple tree！”

23、

The world’s longest cross-sea bridge --- the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, opened to public traffic at 9 a.m. on October 24. The 55-km-long bridge links(连接) China’s Hong Kong  Special Administrative Region  (SAR).  Zhuhai  City  of Guangdong Province and Macao SAR (澳门特别行政区).

The bridge’s construction began in December 2009 and finished in February 2018. The bridge looks like a “Y”. It can cut travel time between Hong Kong and Zhuhai from three hours to just 30 minutes. This will greatly cut down the cost and time of transportation between the mainland and Hong Kong.

We should know that the bridge adopts ( 采取) the right-hand traffic rules of the mainland, and changes into left-hand rules after the vehicles arrive at the Hong Kong or Macao ports(港口). Vehicles such as cars, buses and so on should pay the road toll( 通行费). People can pay the toll through ETC or Hong Kong express. Travelers can also pay by using Alipay, WeChat or RMB.

“In the next step, we should be more careful about how to make the two islands more beautiful and have more travelers,” one of the greatest designers, 93-year-old professor Sun said.

【1】How long does it take to build the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge?

24、   Thanksgiving Day was near. A first grade teacher gave her class a fun task——to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful.

Most of the students didn’t come from rich families, but many would still celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional customs(习俗). These, the teacher thought, would be the subjects of most of the students’ art. And they were, for the most part.

But one student named Douglas drew a different kind of picture. Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was often sad. While other children would play with each other during break time, he would stand closely by his teacher's side. There was pain behind his sad eyes. But what was it? One could only guess.

Yes, his picture was different. He drew a hand. Nothing else. Just an empty hand.

Other children started to guess whose hand it could be. One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raise turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because police keep people safe. And so the discussion went on.

Finally the teacher walked over to Douglas'desk, bent down and asked him whose hand it was.

The little boy looked away and said, “It’s yours, teacher.”

She recalled(回想起) the times when she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there, and times when shed said things like “Take my hand Douglas, we’ll go outside” or “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.”

Douglas was most thankful for his teacher's hand.
