26、 There were many plants in a forest. When spring came, a pine tree saw a red rose nearby and said, "What a beautiful flower! I wish I were that lovely. "

"What a proud flower! " thought the trees.
As the days passed. the red rose often looked at the cactus and said bad words about it, like "This plant is useless. How sorry I am to be his neighbor ! "

27、Yesterday, on Friday, January 13th, there was a terrible snowstorm and the wind was blowing. As a result, the power was cut in the village. At 5:30 Nancy Gordon, the maid (女仆), entered the sitting room and found Mrs Janet Smith lying in a pool of blood next to the sofa. She immediately took her mobile phone and called the police. Inspector (巡官) Japp and two detectives arrived ten minutes later and started looking for clues. They discovered a broken cup of tea under the coffee-table, a carving-knife covered in blood behind the TV set, and a small piece of paper in Mrs Smith’s hand where the words “can’t leave her” could only be read.
The three policemen narrowed(缩小) down the suspects to four people: Paul Smith, the victim’s husband, their daughter Jenny, their maid Nancy Gordon and their gardener Steven Baker. Inspector Japp questioned them by turns in the study.
Jenny, who is an accountant in a big firm, claimed she was in her bedroom finishing a report for the following week. She had to light some candles because it was already dark and she couldn’t see what she was doing. She added she hadn’t heard anything.
Paul Smith said he was in the library watching a football match on TV. He didn’t want to miss it because his favourite team was playing. He didn’t hear anything because he had turned up the volume(音量).
Nancy Gordon explained she had prepared a cup of tea for Mrs Smith at 5:00 and had brought it to the sitting room where Mrs Smith was reading a letter. Then she had gone back to the kitchen because she had to do the washing up since the dishwasher didn’t work and she wanted to leave everything in order before the weekend. When she went back to the sitting room to get the tea cup. she discovered Mrs Smith’s body but she didn’t touch anything.
Steven Baker told the police he was working in the greenhouse: because of the awful weather, he couldn’t do anything else. He didn’t see anything because of all the snow that was falling. Besides, he didn’t spend much time in the house.

28、 King Hiero asked the crown (皇冠)-maker to make him a gold crown. But when the king got the crown, he wondered i【1】 the crown was entirely (全部地) made of gold. Then the king s【2】 the crown to Archimedes, the best scientist in the kingdom.
Archimedes thought about the p【3】 while a servant (仆人) poured some water into a bath for him. Archimedes got in the bath and some water came out of it, onto the floor. Archimedes was very e【4】. “That’s it!” shouted Archimedes to the servant. “If we put an object (物品) in a pot full of water, some of the water will come out. The object displaces (取代) the water. A b【5】 object will displace a lot of water. A small object will displace a l【6】 water.”
Archimedes went to the palace to weigh the crown. It w【7】 one kilogram. He put the crown in a pot of water. Five centimetres of water came out. He then put one kilogram of gold in a【8】 pot of water. Three centimetres of water came out of this pot. Archimedes said to King Hiero, “Silver made the crown bigger. That is why the crown displaces m【9】 water. So, the crown is not made entirely of gold; it is made of both gold and silver.”
