24、Today we take a look at the word “smart”. If someone says you are smart, what do they mean? Is it a good thing or something bad? 【1】 This is because the word “smart” has many meanings.

For example, someone could say you look smart or are dressed smartly. That means they like your physical appearance or what you are wearing.

But if something smarts, it can be unkind or hurtful, either physically or mentally (精神地). If you accidentally trip over a chair and fall down, you might shout, “Ow! That smarts!” Or if a friend says something that hurts your feelings, you can say you are smarting from the hurtful words. 【2】

If you are standing too close to a campfire, you could say your eyes are smarting from the smoke of the fire. Here the word “smarting” means feeling a sharp pain.

【3】 If someone is “smart as a whip”, they are able to think very quickly.

【4】 Some people are considered street-smart. They may not have a strong education. But they are good at dealing with people and problems in the real world. Other people might be book-smart. This means they have spent many years in school. But they may not be so smart when dealing with people or real-world problems.

And then there is a kind of “smart” that means to talk or behave disrespectfully and impolitely. If you say something disrespectful to your parents, they might say, “Don’t get smart with me!” Here, “smart” means you’re impolite and rude by saying something unkind.

The kind of smart can also be used as a verb. 【5】

26、Old George selected his food in the supermarket more carefully than NASA chose its astronauts. When he left the cashier, he was pleased to think that he had saved 80 cents today.

At the exit, the cold wind made him think of his gloves. He looked for them in his coat and pants but could not find them anywhere. He had bought the black gloves at a good price, for just $35, years ago. They were soft and very comfortable. He had taken great care looking after them, so they were_________

George, calm on the outside but mad on the inside, re-entered the store. He followed the same route he had walked before. Several minutes of searching turned out to be in vain (徒劳). His black gloves were gone. “People have changed,” he said to himself. “Years ago, if somebody picked up something lost, they would give it back. Not any more!”

He stared at anybody wearing black gloves to see if they looked like his. On his way to the dairy section, he noticed a lady wearing a pair of black gloves. He sped up and in three seconds was in front of her. But when the surprised woman looked over, his eyes dropped, for her gloves were just far too small to be his. He went over to the cashier to ask if she had received any lost gloves, but she said no. He finally walked out into the street.

A few days later, poor George decided to buy another leather pair. Before getting on the subway, he stepped into the supermarket again to see if by any chance his gloves had been returned to the lost and found office. “What color are they?” the woman in the office asked. “Black,” he gave the same answer.

27、   Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will learn a musical instrument or ballet or other classes which will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So the parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.

However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.

Parents can see that their children's skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today's children lack self-respect and self-confidence.The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents aren't teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.

Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing housework.

Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that the will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It's an enjoyable but difficult experiment. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually to finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.

Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your children to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities aren't merely teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.

28、

Most people have heard of the Great Wall of China. However，not many people 【1】 [aut’saɪd] of China know about the Grand Canal，which is known in China as Da Yunhe. It is the 【2】（long）and oldest waterway in the world. This waterway is 3，200 kilometers long 【3】 a history of more than 2，500 years.

The Grand Canal was built in 468 BC，and it has been rebuilt three 【4】 in history，which were in the Spring and Autumn Period， the Sui Dynasty（朝代） and Yuan Dynasty， In the past，the Grand Canal was used for 【5】（move）food and water from south to north. In this way，the 【6】 [′rɪtʃ] land in south of China could feed capital cities in north.

The Grand Canal is still an important part of the transportation（运输）in China today， which 【7】（connect）Hangzhou with Beijing. 【8】（thousand）of boats use it every day. Now the Chinese government is doing new work on the Grand Canal. It is making the waterway deeper, 【9】 bigger ships can pass through.

Running through 【10】 [eɪt] provinces in China，the Grand Canal is one example of our great works. And it will continue to link the south to north for centuries to come.
