24、   Sometimes, when you worry that you may fail an exam, you end up failing. Or during a seating arrangement (安排) in your class, when you are afraid to sit next to someone you don’t like, you end up sharing the desk with him or her.

This is what Murphy’s Law tells us: If things can go wrong, they will go wrong. But is it true?

Of the studies about Murphy’s Law, the most famous one is the buttered toast (烤面包片) phenomenon (现象): One toast with butter falls; it lands butter-side down most of the time.

To prove this, Robert Matthews did a lot of experiments with more than 1,000 British school kids in 2001.

In the first experiment, each student put a piece of buttered toast on a plate, let it fall off 20 times and noted which side it landed on. Of almost 10,000 experiments, toast landed butter-side down 62 percent of the time.

But you may ask: Is it the butter that plays a role? Here comes Matthews’ second experiment.

This time, instead of butter, the toast had a letter “B” written on one side. It still landed 58 percent of the time on the B-side.

This proved that Murphy’s Law is true: If the toast can land butter-side down, it will do so. Matthews did another experiment. When students threw the toast from a height of 2.5 metres, the toast landed butter-side down only 47 percent of the time.

“Toast lands butter-side down because humans aren’t tall enough to let it land any other way,” Matthews said.

根据上文内容判断正(T)误(F)

【1】According to Murphy’s Law, in an English class, if you don’t want to be questioned by the teacher, you may end up failing to answer the questions.

【2】In the first experiment of buttered toast, we know the toast landed butter-side down about 620 times.

【3】If the toast can land butter-side down, Murphy’s Law is true.

【4】In the first two experiments, either the butter or the letter “B” plays a role.

【5】The passage is mainly talking about Murphy’s Law depending on people’s mental states (心理状态).

26、Dear Liz,

My stay in Thailand has certainly been fantastic in my life.

Life is busy and exciting. Bangkok is just like any other big city with a population of 10 million and heavy traffic. I’m very lucky because my host family is in a nice quiet area outside the city. There are Mr and Mrs Phairat, their son Sanan, who is 18, the daughter Chinda, who is 16, and Grandpa and Grandma.

I go to an international school with Sanan and Chinda. The school teaches about 70 percent in English, and 30 percent in Thai. I’ve learned some spoken language, but Thai writing is very difficult. The cooking lesson is my favourite. I’m learning all about Thai food and culture. People don’t use chopsticks here, but spoons and forks. When I come back, I’m going to cook you a real Thai meal.

Last weekend we visited some temples. We also drove to Pattaya beach near Bangkok. I thought it was great. But Sanan and Chinda say that next month they’re taking me to Phuket Island. The beaches there are even more beautiful. The month after next, we’re going to travel to Mr Phairat’s hometown in the north of Thailand. The Phairats own land there, and they have two elephants. I’m going to ride those elephants — and even wash them. Sanan and Chinda say it’s really fun.

I’m amazed by everything in this country, especially by the elephants. Elephants are an important part of Thai culture and way of life. They have been a traditional symbol of Thailand for many years in times of war and peace. In the seventh century, a Thai king trained 20,000 elephants for battle (战斗).

I’ll tell you all about my Thai boxing (拳击) lessons next time I write.

Yours

Mandy

28、A special delivery

One day, Ben’s friends wanted to play a joke on Ben and Sally. So they sent a letter to Sally, saying he would send her a s【3】 gift and Sally should take good care of it. On the s【4】 day, Sally also got a phone call. The caller told her that a delivery was coming. At one o’clock, a truck stopped in front of Sally’s house. The truck driver gave Sally a rope.
