21、It was a cold night. The taxi driver didn’t take even one passenger all day. When he went by the train station, he saw a young man coming out with two bags in his hands. So he drove to him and asked, “Where are you going ,sir ?” “To the MP Hotel,” the young man answered. When the taxi driver heard this, he didn’t feel happy any more. The young man would give him only three dollars because the hotel was near the train station. But suddenly, he had an idea. He took the young man through many streets of the big city. After a long time, they arrived at the hotel. “Here we are! You should pay me seventeen dollars, please,” the taxi driver said to the young man. “What? Seventeen dollars! Do you think I’m a fool? Only last week, I took a taxi from the train station to this hotel and I only gave the driver fifteen dollars. I know how much I have to pay for the trip.”

22、Reading is a good habit, but the problem is, there is too much to read these days, and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are very good.
Preview—if it is long and hard. Previewing is very useful for getting a general (笼统的) idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and business reports.
Here is how to preview.
Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.
Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.
Previewing does not give you all the information. It keeps you from spending time on things you don’t really want or need to read.
Skim(略读)—if it is short and easy. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading like popular magazines or the sports and entertainment of your everyday paper.
Here is how to skim.
Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line.
Pick up only a few key words in each line.
Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same article, but we will get a similar idea of what it is all about.

23、
A short time ago, a park in Selwood, England looked terrible. The lake water was dirty, the chairs were broken and the place was full of rubbish.
But now the park looks quite different, thanks to Michael Chambers, a 16-year-old student. Michael started a group called Park Rescue. Volunteers of the group used their free time to clean the park. They took away the rubbish and started cleaning the lake. They fixed up a lot of the chairs and bought some new tables. They also planted some flowers and 60 young trees.
Michael told people what they were doing in the park through the newspaper. In six months, about 120 more people joined Park Rescue. The group organized concerts and raised money in the street. With these activities and with the help of some warm-hearted (热心的) people, they have raised over £4,000.
“Birds started to come back to the park. The long-closed restaurant is going to open soon and that will be great.
