21、Betty and I are best friends. Our birthdays are on the same day, so every year we have a birthday party together. But this year, we had a costume party（化装晚会） instead.

While we were writing the invitations, my mum came in and asked, “Why not invite John?” John had been in our class for only a few months, but he was already getting better grades in math than anyone else in class. I wrinkled(皱起) my nose, “Mum, he wears the same pants to school every day. How could he even afford a costume?” Mum said nothing. The next day, mum gave me an envelope with a shopping certificate(凭证) in it.” I thought it would be nice for you to give this to John.” Mum said. But how? We didn't want to make John embarrassed. We discussed it for a long time. Finally, Betty and I had a good idea.

On the day of our party, kids arrived, dressed differently. John arrived, in an old sheet (床单), but still in the same brown pants as usual. We danced, ate snacks and played games in groups. Before eating the birthday cake, Betty said in a loud voice, “Now it is time for the great prize game. It is the following riddle（谜语） …” It was a math game. None of us was surprised when John came up with the right answer first and walked off with the envelope.

"You must prove (证明) you're the best," the manager said.

"OK, I will." John said.

"Good." The manager took several boxes of sweets out of his desk. "Last week I bought a thousand boxes of sweets. If you can sell them all before the end of the week, you can have the job." said the manager.

"That's easy," John said. He took the boxes of sweets and left the office.

Every day and all day he went from shop to shop, trying to sell the sweets. But he couldn't sell one. The sweets were too bad for him to sell. At the end of the week he went back to the manager. "I'm sorry, sir," he said, "I was wrong about myself. I'm not the best salesman in the world, but I know who is."

24、   The giraffe is the tallest modern land animal. It can be over 5. 5 meters tall. Its neck bone may be 1. 9 meters long. Yet the giraffe has only seven bones (骨头) in its neck, the same number as in the human. Even a small bird has many more bones in its neck than in a tall giraffe. Each bone in a giraffe’s neck is very long, while the bones in a human’s neck are small. That makes the difference. A female giraffe gives birth to one baby at a time. The baby, called a calf, is about 1. 9 meters tall at birth. By the age of eight it is full-grown. The giraffe can live for 30 years; the giraffe is good at running; it can run 30 kilometers per hour. The giraffe likes to live together, usually 7-10 a group. The giraffe eats mostly leaves. Because it has a long neck, it can reach the leaves high up on the trees.

判断下列句子的正误，正确的填（T）错误的填（F）

【1】The giraffe is the tallest modern animal living in the land.

【2】the giraffe has more bones in its neck than that in the human.

【3】The bones in a giraffe’s neck is very small and short.

【4】The giraffe can run 30,000 meters per hour .

【5】Since giraffes are very tall and strong, they live alone.
