24、   The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before a huge pile (堆) of troublesome things they call “books”.

I was going to have my examination the next day. “When can I go to bed?” I asked myself. I didn’t answer, in fact I dared not.

The clock struck 12. “Oh, dear!” I cried, “ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the most poor person in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to study so hard when he was a boy.

The clock struck one. I was quite hopeless now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.” My eyes were heavy, so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.

25、“Green” is more than just a color. It also means taking special steps to protect the environment—the water, the land, and the air we breathe. Plants are green, and without them the earth wouldn’t be such a lovely home for us human beings.

Sometimes people call our society a “throwaway society”. That means we are always throwing away old things and buying new ones. Sometimes, if you no longer need something, someone else just might need it. For example, if your brother is old enough not to play with his plastic bike , why not give it to another family who has a little kid so that they don’t need to buy a new one?

In order to keep the neighborhood “green” and make waste renewable resources. The local government of Chengdu spend much money building an intelligent garbage collection processor (处理器) in each neighborhood and encourage people to pack their rubbish with the garbage classification (分类), and then send it to the bank of “junk”. The bank of “junk” gives marks to every household according to the types of waste. If they do better in this way, they can get some daily necessities (日用品).

Through the bank of “junk”, not only can a lot of garbage be changed into recycled resources, but also people can develop habits of reducing rubbish and get many benefits.

26、Holmes said, “Somebody sent a letter with five pips (桔核) in it from India, and arrived seven weeks later to kill John’s uncle. Then they sent five pips from Scotland and arrived three days later to kill John’s father. Now they have sent five pips to John from London!”

“The letters are all from sea ports (海港). The writer was on a ship when he wrote the letters,” I replied.

“Very good, Watson! And John’s enemy is in London already!”

“Well, I hope they won’t kill young John,” I said.

But they did. The next morning, we read in the newspaper that a policeman found him die near Waterloo station. Holmes was very angry about it.

“He came to me for help and those men murdered him! I’m going to find them, if it’s the last thing I do!” he said to me, and he hurried out of the house.

At night, when he came back, he was tired, but pleased, he said, “I know the names of John’s enemies! And now I’m going to send them a surprise! This will frighten them!” He took five pips from an orange and put them in an envelope (信封). On it he wrote “S. H. for J. C.”

“I’m sending the pips to captain James Calhoun. His ship is called the Star. He and his men are sailing back to Georgia, USA.”

“How did you find him, Holmes?” I asked.

“Ship’s papers,” he said, “I’ve looked at hundreds of them today. Only one ship, the Star, was in the three ports at the right times, this morning the Star left London to sail back to Georgia. I found out that the captain and two of his men, all Americans, weren’t on the ship last night, so I’m sure they killed John. When they arrive in America, they’ll get the pips and then the police will catch them!”

27、The word “chicken” is used in so many English idioms. Do you know the following?

Don’t count your chickens before they hatch The expression “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch” means “Don’t expect that all your eggs, which have been laid, will hatch.” “Hatch” is a verb, meaning the baby chicken breaks open the shell of the egg and comes out successfully. So the expression mainly means “Don’t depend on things working out just as you want them to.” this saying appears in the story The Milkmaid and Her Pail in Aesop’s Fables.

A chicken-and-egg situation

In history, philosophers(哲学家) and scientists have met this dilemma(困境): Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Aristotle thought that both the bird and the egg must have always been there. However, more recently, scientists such as Stephen Hawking have argued that the egg came before the chicken. In common speech, the term “a chicken-and-egg situation” means “a situation where it is impossible to say which of two things appeared first and which caused the other one.”

Don’t be such a chicken

There seems to be an idea in English, somehow, that a chicken is a scared bird. Maybe that’s not fair as most birds will probably fly away from you if you go towards them. But “Don’t be such a chicken” means “Don’t be so scared and get a bit more courage.” So if your friend to do something, you can say to him or her, “Don’t be such a chicken. Just have a try!”

【1】The underlined word “hatch” means “________” in Chinese.

A. 孵化 B. 长大 C. 破碎 D. 出售

【2】We may say “don’t be such a chicken” to someone when he _________.

A. is good at math

B. has difficulty making a choice

C. hopes things will work out just as he wants

D. is not brave enough to do something

【3】Which idiom can be used when we can’t make a cause-and-effect relationship clear?

A. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.

B. Chicken feed.

C. A chicken-and-egg situation.

D. Chicken out.

【4】What does the writer think of the idioms?

A. Interesting. B. Terrible. C. Meaningless. D. Useless.

【5】The passage is probably from the section of ________ in a newspaper.

A. health B. geography C. nature D. culture
