21、 Back in East LA the years passed slowly. The generous man kept to life much as usual-taking evening strolls, whistling rap tunes, answering his door.
One day in particular, his doorbell rang, and there stood a finely dressed young gentleman in a three piece suit. "Uh oh," the man thought. "Jehovah's Witness." But before he could do anything, his guest spoke.
“You're the rich man，aren't you？”his guest asked.
“What can I do for you？"the man responded automatically，so accustomed to being asked for things.
“It is not what you can do for me，"answered his guest. "But what you have already done. ”
"“What have I done for you？" the man asked in surprise.
“You've given me a second chance at life. Why，with your generous gift，I was able to invest the money and pull myself out of my poverty. I no longer wallow in the grime and gutters，but I walk along crowded sidewalks with my head held high. I have you to thank for that. "
Suddenly，the man recognized his guest. It was the old bum（流浪汉）who'd been lying in the street. The man replied，"What I gave you，you did not ask for. I gave it simply because I saw you there and loved you. I would have given it to anyone in your position. ”
"All the more reason to come and thank you，"his guest said.
"But I am rich，"replied the man. I have many gifts to give. I don't expect anything in return. ”
"Good，"his guest said with a nod. “Because I don't have anything to offer in return. Whatever I have, you gave to me. All I wanted to do was come and thank you. "
The man stared as his guest reached out and took him into an embrace. It was the same gesture the man had so often offered to those at his door, yet this was the first time someone had offered it back.
Tears filled the man's eyes as his guest, a lowly bum off the street, held him in the most satisfying embrace he had ever received.

22、 A valuable musical instrument was played recently in its first public performance (表演) since being rediscovered in 2015. The instrument, a Stradivarius violin, had been stolen and was missing for 35 years.
The violin has a long history. It was made in the 18th Century. Later, the instrument belonged to Roman Totenberg, a Polish-born violinist. He died before the violin was rediscovered. Now, the violin belongs to one of his daughters and its sound is again being heard.
This week, one of Totenberg's former students, Mira Wang, played the instrument for the first time since its rediscovery.
Totenberg's three daughters all agreed that Mira Wang should perform with the Stradivarius. Amy Totenberg says the former student was close to her father.
Antonio Stradivari made the instrument in 1734. Roman Totenberg played the violin for almost 40 years. He performed on many famous concert stages around the world. Totenberg died in 2012 at the age of 101.
The Stradivarius was taken from his dressing room after a show. Daughter Nina Totenberg remembers what happened. " He was greeting well-wishers afterwards and when he turned around to go back and get the violin, it was gone. And they found the case thrown down the stairs in the place where the concert had been and they called the police and the FBI came.”
The disappearance of the violin remained a mystery (谜)for 35 years. Then, the former wife of the man who stole the instrument tried to sell it to a violin specialist who identified it. The former husband had once been a student of Totenberg.
In 2015, the Stradivarius violin was returned to Totenberg's three daughters. They had it repaired to playing condition.
The Totenberg sisters say they will sell the violin to a performer or a group. They want the instrument to be heard again by listeners around the world. Rare instruments also are musical treasures. In 2011, a Stradivarius violin was sold for more than $ 15 million.
【1】Why was the performance unique?
A.It was played by a Chinese musician.
B.It was played to honour a former violinist.

A.She has the best skill to play the violin.
B.She will show the violin to the world.
C.She is familiar with the daughters.
D.She was related closely to its former owner, her teacher.
【3】Who stole the violin?
A.A violin specialist. B.A student of Totenberg's.
C.The former wife of a thief. D.One of the well-wishers at a concert.
【4】What do you know about the rediscovered violin?

23、Do you remember that story about the little girl who goes to visit her grandmother and meets a big, bad wolf along the way? Or perhaps you remember the story of the three little pigs who build three houses to protect themselves from a wolf?
The reality behind the fairy tales is that people feared wolves. Hunting and killing originating from hatred almost caused the animals to go extinct. Wolves needed a fairy mother —and that is what Brookfield Zoo in Chicago is for wolves and their puppies.
Being a fairy mother to wolves is not easy. Brookfield Zoo replaced iron-barred cubicles with safe habitats, which are not merely appealing to the zoo visitor, but more importantly, are contributing to the normal behavior and reproduction of the animals. The wolves have a large area to run and play in, places to hide and sleep in, and hills to climb with lots of grass and trees around them.
A fairy mother’s job is to make dreams magically come true and part of the magic is being invisible. The people who take care of the wolves hide themselves and the food and toys in places where the wolves can dig them up and find them on their own, so they feel more like they are living in nature.
Fairy tales are just stories. Wolves don’t dress up as grandmothers, nor have they blown a house down. Wolves aren’t scary at all, and in fact, they are more afraid of humans than we are of them.
The wolves have a great life at Brookfield Zoo. Maybe they will stay at Brookfield Zoo, but it would be nice to see them live back in nature again, too. If we all work together, maybe we can make this fairy tale come true for the wolves.
【1】What are the two stories used to show?
A．Wolves are dangerous to humans.
B．People’s false impression of wolves.
C．The important role of Brook field Zoo.
D．Wolves are a popular subject of literature.
【2】Which word can best describe the area for wolves at Brookfield Zoo?
A．Visitor-interactive.
B．Mountainous.
C．Remote.
D．Natural-looking.
【3】What’s unique about the people looking after the wolves at Brookfield Zoo?
A．They are wolf researchers.
B．They are welcomed by the wolves.
C．They play hide-and-seek with the wolves.
D．They keep themselves out of the wolves’ sight.
【4】What does "this fairy tale" in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Living in the wild.
B．Being taken good care of.
C．Staying at Brookfield Zoo.
D．Being afraid of humans no more.
【5】What is the best title for the text?
A．What fairy tales tell us.
B．Where wolves can be safe.
C．How we can protect ourselves.
D．Whether we should be friends with wolves.
