25、 No one can deny(否认)that Jennifer Lawrence is one of the most popular stars in the world. From collecting an Oscar to being chosen as Favorite Movie Actress at the US Kids' Choice Awards, she has many fans of all ages.
But as successful as she is, Lawrence has worked hard to stay natural and down-to-earth. She has a cheerful nature, saying things most actresses would keep to themselves. Wearing a beautiful outfit and jewelry at a big event, she told the reporters, “None of this is mine. I have to give it back.” She was also caught on live TV asking one of her co-stars “Is your rash(疹子)doing OK?”.
As part of the Hollywood “machine”, Lawrence plays the game as much as she has to, but still tries to stay real and think critically. In January 2013, she won Best Actress at the LA Critics Awards. While she was giving her speech, Lawrence refused to read the last part of her speech. She thought the speech written by her publicist didn't make sense. “The publicist said something I don't understand so I'm not going to say it.” she told the audience.

26、
The Greeks started the Olympic Games almost 3,000 years ago in 776 BC. They were held nearly every four years for over a thousand years until they were stopped in 393 AD.
In order to take part, athletes had to be free men who spoke Greek. There may have also been a rule about age. They wanted the athletes to be youthful, or at least youthful looking. From what we know, athletes were supposed to only be men. However, there are records of at least one woman winning an event. The winners of the games were considered heroes. They not only got olive branches for winning, but also became famous. Sometimes they received large sums of money as a reward from their hometown.
The Olympic Games were held in Olympia, hence the name Olympics. They were held there because the gods lived on Mount Olympus and the games were held in honor of the king of the gods, Zeus(宙斯).
The original Olympics had fewer events than what we had at the modern Olympics today. At the first Olympics there was only a single event. It was a running race that went the length of the stadium, around 200 meters.
More events were added over the next several Olympics. These events included more running races of different lengths, wrestling, chariot racing, boxing, and the pentathlon. The pentathlon included the scores of five events in all: long jump, discus throw, javelin throw, a stadium race, and wrestling.
【1】How long had the Olympic Games lasted before they were stopped?
A.3,000 years
B.1,169 years
C.776 years
D.393 years
【2】Which of the following was NOT a requirement of the athletes that took part in the Olympics?
A.They must appear youthful.

D.They must be in honor of the king of the gods.
【3】The only event in the first Olympics was ________

27、In the state of Qin, there was a man called Shang Yang. He was a statesman(政治家)and worked out many reforms(改革)for the state, like focusing(关注)on farming and giving rewards(奖励)to soldiers who were successful at war. But these reforms were not easily carried out at first. Most people didn’t trust Shang.
To solve this problem, Shang came up with an idea. He put a thin wooden pole at the south gate of the capital of Qin. Many people came to see him.
Then, in front of the crowd, he said loudly, “The one who takes this pole to the north gate will get 10 gold pieces.”
It was a simple job and the reward was large. However, some time passed and no one stepped forward. They all thought Shang was joking.
Hearing no answer, Shang stepped forward and said, “The reward now goes to 50 gold pieces.”
This offer was unbelievable. Finally, a man from the crowd came forward. He put the pole on his shoulders and walked to the north gate. True to his word, Shang gave the man 50 gold pieces.
After that, the people of Qin were all talking about what Shang did at the south gate. They believed he was a man of his word. So when Shang began carrying out his reforms, the people followed him. Under these great reforms, Qin grew strong and unified all the states, becoming the first empire of China.
