24、   The robin (知更鸟) stood on an old climbing plant, and sang his most beautiful song. Suddenly the wind made the plant move, and Mary saw something under the dark green leaves. The thick, heavy plant was covering a door. Mary’s heart was beating fast and her hands were shaking as she pushed the leaves away and found the keyhole. She took the key out of her pocket and it fitted the hole. Using both hands, she managed to unlock the door. Then she turned round to see if anyone was watching. But there was no one, so she pushed the door, which opened, slowly, for the first time in ten years. She walked quickly in and closed the door behind her. At last she was inside the secret garden!

It was the loveliest, most exciting place she had ever seen. There were old rose trees everywhere, and the walls were covered with climbing roses. She looked carefully at the grey branches（枝条）.Were the roses still alive? Ben would know. She hoped they weren't all dead. But she was inside the wonderful garden, in a world of her own. It seemed very strange and silent but she did not feel lonely at all. Then she noticed some small green            shoots coming up through the grass. So something was growing in the garden after all! When she found a lot more shoots in different places, she decided they needed more air and light, so she began to pull out the thick grass around them. She            worked away, clearing the ground for two or three hours, and took her coat off because she got so hot. The robin hopped around, pleased to see someone gardening.

25、Dragon dance is a traditional folk activity in China. It was started in China during the Han Dynasty as a part of the farming culture. The dragon shows wisdom (智慧), power and wealth. Like the lion dance, it is most often seen in festival celebrations. It is believed that performing the dragon dance keeps people away from all the bad luck and brings in good luck and wealth.

In the dance, a team of dancers hold the dragon—which is an image (形象) of the Chinese dragon—on poles (竿). The lead dancers lift and sweep, making different skillful movements with the head. The dragon’s body is made of cloth and bamboo. Its length can be different, some reaching 100 meters long and held by many people. Today, most dragon dances are performed by ten people, with one holding a bead (珠子) in front of the team. To perform an excellent dragon dance, the performers of a dragon dance team must be able to run in the correct footsteps which shouldn’t be tool quick or too slow. Music during the dragon dance is often given by a team of musicians, usually playing traditional drums and gongs (锣).

27、What do you usually do when a flying insect lands on your arm? You may blow it away．But what if that insect is a ladybug（瓢虫）? It is possible that you would let it stay．What is it about ladybugs that we like?

Farmers once thought ladybugs were a good lucky sign．A ladybug in the field meant the crops would be successful and that the weather would be good．The farmers may have thought too highly of such a small bug，but in fact ladybugs do help out with the crops．They eat harmful insects．

Actually，it is not the adult ladybug that eats other insects． It's the baby ladybug．When the baby ladybugs hatch（孵化），they are very hungry and will eat mites，aphids，mealy bugs，green flies，and other crop-destroyers． In the 1800s，ladybugs were brought all the way from Australia to California and set free among orange trees that were dying from being eaten by insects．They completely saved all the trees．

Ladybugs go about their daily business without worrying much about anything．Very few birds or insects will eat a ladybug because it gives off a dangerous fluid（液体）．Ladybugs also protect themselves by playing dead．They fall off leaves and never move until their attacker goes away．

So the next time you see a ladybug，think about what it may be doing．Maybe it is off to save an orange tree．Maybe its next move will be to roll off a leaf and play dead or stand up to a bird about 100 times its size．Maybe it's letting you know that the weather will be good tomorrow．Who knows? Ladybugs are special that way．

【1】Ladybugs were brought from Australia to California in the 1800s to____．

A．add more ladybugs to area
