25、Once there was a relative who offered a man and his three sons two baskets of peaches (桃子). One basket of peaches were just ripe (成熟) while the other were already overripe and would go bad at once.
The father asked, “Which way of eating can avoid wasting a peach?”
The eldest son said, “Of course, we should eat those overripe, for they can’t be kept for three days.”
“But after you eat up those, the peaches in the other basket will go bad!” Certainly, the father was not satisfied with the eldest son’s advice.
The second son thought for a while and said, “We should eat the peaches just ripe. Choose the good ones!”
“If so, won’t the overripe peaches be wasted? Don’t you think it is a pity?”
The father turned to the youngest son, “What good idea do you have?”
“I feel,” thinking for a while, the youngest son said, “we’d better mix them together, give some of them to the neighbors, and let them help us eat, so that we won’t waste a peach at all.”

26、Last night one of my Chinese friends took me to a concert of Chinese folk music. The piece which was played on the erhu especially moved me. The music was strangely beautiful, but under the beauty I sensed a strong sadness and pain. The piece had a simple name, Erquan Yingyue (Moon Reflected on Second Spring), but it was one of the most moving pieces of music that I’ve ever heard. The erhu sounded so sad that I almost cried along with it as I listened. Later I looked up the history of Erquan Yingyue, and I began to understand the sadness in the music.
The music was written by Abing, a folk musician who was born in the city of Wuxi in 1893. His mother died when he was very young. Abing’s father taught him to play many musical instruments, such as the drums, dizi and erhu, and in the year of 1910, Abing was known for his musical ability. However, after his father died, Abing’s life grew worse. He was very poor. Not only that, he developed a serious illness and became blind. For several years, he had no home. He lived on the streets and played music to make money. Even after Abing got married and had a home again, he continued to sing and play on the streets. He performed in this way for many years.
Abing’s amazing musical skills made him very popular during his lifetime. By the end of his life, he could play over 600 pieces of music. Many of these were written by Abing himself. It is a pity that only six pieces of music in total were recorded for the future world to hear, but his popularity continues to this day. Today, Abing’s Erquan Yingyue is a piece which all the great erhu masters play and praise. It has become one of China’s national treasures. Its sad beauty not only paints a picture of Abing’s own life but also makes people recall their deepest wounds(伤口) from their own sad or painful experiences.
【1】When was Abing known for his musical ability?
A.When he was very young.
B.When he was 17 years old.
C.After he became blind.
D.After he got married.
【2】Which is NOT the reason why Abing’s music sounds sad?
A.His father died and he was very poor.
B.He lost his eyesight because of his illness.
C.Only 6 pieces of his music were recorded.
D.He lost his mother when he was very young.
【3】We can probably play the music Erquan Yingyue ________.
A.in wedding parties
B.during the Spring Festival
C.on the Qingming Festival
D.on Christmas
【4】What’s the correct order of the following events?
a.Abing got married and had a home.
b.Abing got a serious illness and became blind.
c.Abing’s mother died when he was a child.
d.Abing learned to play many musical instruments from his father.
e.Abing wrote many pieces of music and he could play over 600 pieces.
A.a b d c e

27、
How can you do calculations (计算) quickly? These days, you can easily use a calculator.
But how about people in ancient times? In the very beginning, the cleverest among them thought of using stones and seashells. Then, around the 2nd century B. C. , they invented the abacus. Some researchers consider the invention to be the world’s oldest “calculator”. In China, people used abacuses to do calculations for thousands of years.
The abacus is usually made of wood.It has many beads (珠子). Each rod (竿)stands for a different digit (数位). The rightmost is ones, the second is tens, the third is hundreds, and so on. Each bead in the central area has a value.
In the past, the use of the abacus was taught in all schools. It was considered to be an important skill that everybody needed to pick up. Wherever there was a need for calculations, an abacus would come into sight.
Today, abacuses are no longer widely used. Perhaps you have never seen one. However, we can still feel the important roles they once played. Abacuses have become a symbol. Because they used to be a must-have for business people, some have come to believe that abacuses can help their owners gather wealth.
【1】According to the passage, what are the world’s earliest “calculators”?
A.Stones.
B.Seashells.
C.Abacuses.
D.Beads.
【2】Which number does the picture in the passage stand for?
