21、The king seemed to know what the duke was planning. So they went upstairs and set the bag of money on the table. The king counted it out in front of everyone. Then he pointed to the girls and said, “These poor little lambs. They’ve suffered so much. I know what my brother would want me to do.”
He turned to the duke and made those hand signs. The duke watched for a minute, then his eyes brightened up like he’d finally caught on. He gave the king a big smile.
The king said, “Here, MaryJane, Susan, and Joanna. Take the money. Take it all.”
The three girls started hugging him again. But the town doctor who’d stood watching the whole time, stuck his finger in the king’s face.
“You can’t fool me!” he hollered. “You are just a fraud!”
My heart thumped like a rabbit and I thought we were caught for sure!
The king stood there, looking gap-jawed at the doctor. The doctor kept on yelling. “You claim you’re an Englishman, but that’s the worst English accent I’ve ever heard! You are nothing but a swindler.” The crowd gathered around the doctor, trying to quiet him down.
“No,” one man argued. “It’s really Harvey Wilks.”
“Yeah,” another agreed. “He knew everybody’s name. He even knew all our dogs’ names.”
“I’m telling you,” the doctor warned. “Anyone who can’t imitate an accent better than that is a fraud.”
The Willks girls hung their heads and cried. That’s when the doctor turned to them and said “I was your father’s friend. I only want to protect you and keep you out of trouble. He’s an imposter who’s come here with a lot of names and facts that he picked up somewhere else. Won’t you please turn this rascal out?”
MaryJane straightened up, looking proud. “Here is my answer to that.” She picked up the bag of money and put it right in the king’s hands. “Here,” she said. “Take the whole $6,000 and invest it for me and my sisters.”
Then she put her arm around the king on one side, and the other girls did the same on the other. Everyone clapped and stomped while the king held his head high.
The doctor pointed his finger at them. “Fine. But remember, I warned you.”
After supper I started wondering what I ought to do. Should I go to that doctor and tell him the truth? I couldn’t do that. The king and the duke might find out it was me, and they’d have my hide for sure. I knew MaryJane wouldn’t believe me.

22、A 2017 Gallup poll reported that 43% of employed Americans had spent at least some time working remotely, and the US Census data released in 2018 reported 5.2% of US workers being based entirely at home.
Even as working from home (WFH) becomes relatively commonplace, a new form of remote work is emerging: working from anywhere (WFA), in which employees can live and work where they choose, typically within a specific country, but in some cases, anywhere in the world with a reliable Internet connection. While many companies are just starting to consider allowing employees to work from anywhere, developed WFA programs can be found at firms such as Akamai Technologies Inc. and SAP SE.
Employees value the option to work remotely. A 2017 study even found that the average worker was willing to accept 8% less pay for the option to work from home. And with a work-from-anywhere policy, employers add even more value to employees by granting geographic flexibility. There is the significant difference: while a WFH employee can choose to pick the kids up from school or spend the lunch hour walking the dog, a WFA employee can do all of those and also relocate closer to aging parents or to a location with a lower cost of living.
In our experience, however, managers often worry about remote employees working less, multitasking, or mixing personal responsibilities with work. There are also concerns that allowing employees to work from anywhere could decrease communication and collaboration (合作) among co-workers and might limit the informal learning that typically happens in the office.
But one 2015 study by a Chinese travel agency found that when call center employees were shifted to working from home, their productivity increased by an average of 13%, apparently due to a reduction in break time and sick days combined with a more comfortable working environment. This finding raises the question: could employees in a work-from-anywhere program also benefit from similar productivity increases?
【1】What does the underlined word “emerging” in the second paragraph mean?
A．Coming into existence.
B．Getting more popular.
C．Coming to an end.
D．Drawing attention.
【2】Which is the advantage that WFA has over WFH?
A．Picking the kids up from school.
B．Relocating closer to aging parents.
C．Spending the lunch hour walking the dog.
D．Working more effectively.
【3】What did the 2015 study by a Chinese travel agency find about WFH?
A．It is more relaxing.
B．It is more flexible.
C．It is more productive.
D．It is more stressful.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A．What’s the difference between WFA and WFH?
B．Do you prefer WFA or WFH?
C．Is it time to let employees work from anywhere?
D．Who are suitable for WFA and WFH?
23、 A student was one day taking a walk with his teacher． As they went along， they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path． They were a poor farmer's， who was working in the nearby field．
The student turned to the teacher， saying："we will hide his shoes， and hide ourselves behind those trees， and wait to see what he will do"
"My young friend，" answered the teacher， "we should never make fun of the poor． Why not put a coin in each shoe， and then we will hide ourselves and watch？" The student did so and they both hid themselves behind the trees． The poor man soon finished his work， and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes．
After putting on his coat， he put his foot into one of his shoes， and felt something hard． Then he bent down to feel what it was， and found the coin． Surprised， he looked at the coin， turned it around and looked at it again． He then looked around， but no person was seen． He put the money into his pocket， and continued to put on the other shoe． His surprise was doubled on finding the other coin．
He couldn't control his feelings and fell to his knees， looked up to the sky and expressed his thanks． Then he spoke of his wife， sick and helpless， and his children without food． He said the help would save them from dying．
The student there deeply moved， and his eyes filled tears．" Now，" said the teacher， "are you not much happier than if you had hidden the shoes？"

24、Every year, TIME highlights inventions that are making the world better, smarter and even a bit more fun. Here are some selected ones that will absolutely blow your kids’ mind.
Sphero Indi ($124.99)
Coding is a matter of problem-solving and pattern recognition. Sphero Indi teaches both, no screen required. Instead, kids use different-colored cards to move a robotic car from point A to B — green cards increasing its speed, pink cards telling it to turn left, and so on. “We really wanted to bring these abstract concepts into the physical world,” says Jeff Wiencrot, one of the product developers.
Thames & Kosmos Mega Cyborg Hand ($39.95)
The effort to get kids interested in science just got a helping hand — a cyborg hand, to be precise. Kids build a robotic arm that copies their hand gestures, while they learn about engineering and robotics. Once assembled (组装) and slipped on like a glove, the device passes forces from the user’s fingers to the extended ones of the robotic hand.
Sproutel Purrble ($49.99)
For children who are upset for some reason, Purrble comes to their rescue. An interactive toy equipped with seven sensors that respond to touch, Purrble’s heartbeat speeds up when it senses somebody’s playing with it. Kids can then comfort their companion with gentle petting, slowing Purrble’s rapid heartbeat to a purr (咕噜声) — calming themselves as well in the process.
Lego recycled brick (Unpriced)
The Lego Group, intending to make all Lego bricks from sustainable resources by 2030, spent the past three years testing different recycled PET plastic materials, and finally developed its first recycled PET brick that is nearly identical to the usual brick. The Danish toy company hopes to integrate the recycled blocks into Lego sets in the next 18 to 24 months.
