21、   Agatha Christie used to go out at night. She will never forget the night when she met a robber many years ago.

That evening she was invited to a birthday party which lasted till 2 o’clock in the morning. Without company Agatha walked home along the quiet street.

“Your earrings. Take them off!” Agatha suddenly had a bright idea. She tried to cover her necklace with the collar(衣领) of her overcoat while she used the other hand to take off both of her earrings, and then she quickly threw them on the ground.

“Take them and let me go.” she said. The robber was uncertain. He saw that the girl didn’t care for the earrings at all, only trying to protect the necklace. He realized the necklace would cost more, so he said, “Give me your necklace.”

“Oh, sir. It’s not worth much. Please let me keep it.”

“Stop talking rubbish. Quick!”

22、   Beijing Opera used to sound strange to Dou Yi. The 14-year-old Beijinger said whenever she came across Beijing Opera on TV, she changed the channel (频道). Like most of today’s teenagers, Dou loves pop music.

25、The undersea world is very beautiful. Now more and more people want to dive (潜水) in the water to find the secrets there. Scuba diving is a new sport today. It can take you into a 【1】 ['wʌndəfl] undersea world.

You will find many strange animals in the sea. Some are as large 【2】 a school bus. Many sea animals give out light in the dark and some have 【3】 [ʃɑːp] teeth.

During the day, there is enough light. Here, under the sea, everything is blue and green. When fish swim nearby, you can 【4】 [kætʃ] them with your hands. When you have 【5】 (bottle) of air on your hack, you can stay in deep water for a long time. However, you can’t dive too deep. And you must be very 【6】 (care) when you dive in deep water.

The deep sea is not an easy place to live in. It’s cold, and it’s dark, too. The deeper it is, the 【7】 (little) sunlight there is. At about 3,000 feet, there is 【8】 light at all, so it is very dark there.
