26、I’m a TV show host. One Sunday, I took my 7-year-old daughter by the sea for lunch. On arriving at the beach, I saw JoJo, a rich man in the hotel business. We sat down to chat in an open-air cafe.
Suddenly our talk was interrupted (打断) by a stranger, who politely asked permission to speak to me. Often people want to tell me something about my TV show, when I’m out on the streets.
He asked to speak to me alone, so we stood a bit away from my table. He said, “I’m James, 35 years old, father of a 7-year-old girl, who’s very sick. She needs treatment abroad. The doctors said that if she was treated in the UK, she would probably survive. But I’m poor, so can you please help me?”
Speechless, I looked at the man whose eyes were full of tears and asked how I could help. After we talked for a while, I went to sit back at the table. JoJo asked me, “What’s wrong with you? Your face changed.” I told him. JoJo was sorry for this family and said I had the means through the media to help him. Later we headed off to our destinations.
All weekend I thought about James, his daughter and his family. I even thought about doing a special TV show to raise money for this sick child.
On Monday morning I was at the office after I finished hosting my show, when my assistant said a man needed to speak to me. It was JoJo. He walked into my office. JoJo is so busy with his hotel business that I never imagined he had time to come and see me at the studios.
“Please, call the man with the sick child and tell him that I’ll pay all the money for his sick daughter’s treatment,” JoJo said, with a cheque (支票) in his hand. “I’ve been married for 35 years. I wasn’t lucky enough to have a child. I want to help this child now.” I picked up the phone to call James.
Now James’ daughter is well and living a normal life. JoJo often visit her. I’m so happy that there are so many good people on earth.

27、You may have seen them standing alone in a farmer’s field. With thin arms and a strange smile, they stand guard over the crops day and night. 【1】
Scarecrows have been around since at least the time of the ancient Egyptians. Back then, farmers covered wooden frames with nets to protect wheat fields. 【2】 Around 2500 BCE, the Greeks made the first human-like scarecrows. They added a face which was similar to that of the Greek god Priapus. 【3】 The Romans later copied this design and brought it to Europe.
Centuries after the Romans marched through Europe, people around the world were creating their own scarecrows. In Japan, scarecrows were shaped like people in raincoats and straw hats. In Germany, scarecrows were made to look like witches.
【4】 In the oldest book of Japanese literature, The Kojiki, a scarecrow named Kuebiko appears. Though he can’t walk, Kuebiko is a kind of all-knowing god. In the mid-19th century, writer Nathaniel Hawthorne brought scarecrows into literature with the short story “Feathertop.” In this tale, a witch who prays to the Devil brings a scarecrow to life.
Then there is the most famous scarecrow. His name is simply “Scarecrow,” and he appears in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In the children’s novel, Scarecrow joins Dorothy, Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion on an adventure to meet the wizard of the magical land of Oz. 【5】
Aside from these examples, scarecrows have featured in rock songs and as characters in comic books. On Halloween, they are brought out as scary decorations. Both practical and creepy, scarecrows continue to capture our imagination.
A．Scarecrows appear everywhere in the world.
B．We can never ignore the influence of stories about scarecrow.
C．They are scarecrows, whose job has gone unchanged for thousands of years.
D．They would hide in the wheat, and then jump out to scare birds into their nets.
E．This was thought to be scary enough to keep birds away from their precious fields.
F．Throughout the years, scarecrows have made many appearances in popular culture.
G．Scarecrow has appeared in films and plays around the world since the release of the book.
28、One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and drove off along his route. No problems for the first few stops—a few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well.
At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight, built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground. He glared at the driver and said, “Big John doesn’t pay!” and sat down at the back. The driver was five feet three, thin, and basically mild-mannered. Naturally, he didn’t argue with Big John, but he wasn’t happy about it.
The next day the same thing happened—Big John got on again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat down. And the next day, and the one after that, and so forth.
This grated on the bus driver, who started losing sleep over the way Big John was taking advantage of him. Finally he could stand it no longer. He signed up for body building courses, karate, judo, and all that good stuff. By the end of the summer, he had become quite strong—what’s more, felt really good about himself.
So on the next Monday, when Big John once again got on the bus and said, “Big John doesn’t pay!” the driver stood up, glared back at the passenger, and screamed, “Oh, yeah? And why not?” With a surprised look on his face, Big John replied, “Big John has a bus pass.”
【1】What did Big John do repeatedly?

C．Be sure there is a problem firstly before working hard to solve one.
D．It is better to set a goal firstly if you want to succeed.
29、Though often referred to as a type of men’s formal wear, a tailcoat (燕尾服) is technically a specific kind of formal jacket. Given the name because of the two “tails” that trail below the coat, these jackets have remained in style over a century. 【1】
In the early 19th century, tailcoats were made for men who needed to both ride a horse and wear formal dress without it getting in the way. 【2】 Nowadays, it is regarded as one of the most elegant, yet somewhat useless articles of clothing. Rarely worn in the 21st century outside of the theater or celebrity or royal circles, tailcoats may never fully go out of style due to their historical significance.
【3】 People generally wear tailcoats after 6 pm as evening dress. They may also be worn during the day on some occasions, when tailcoats will serve as “morning dress”, which is equal to evening dress.
The design of tailcoats has much in common. 【4】 And from the neck down, it only reaches the waist in the front and on the sides. Besides, there’s typically a space between the bottom of the coat and the top of the trousers meant to show the vest worn beneath the jacket.
Tailcoats are meant to be extremely fitted and are often designed specifically for the wearer to meet every body’s different features. Besides, pockets can be sewn to the inside of the jacket. 【5】 And the tailcoat may or may not be buttoned.
A．Many tailcoats now are very expensive.
B．Sometimes they may also be on the outside.
C．There’s no particular rule about when to wear tailcoats.
D．It is also called the swallowtail or claw hammer jacket.
