24、 Some English words have more than one meaning. These are called multi- meaning words.
Multi-meaning words have the same pronunciation with different meanings. For example, let's look at the word “ball” You could have a “ball” which means you would have a good time. You could toss a “ball” which means you throw an object. You could be on the “ball” which means you know what is happening. You could go to a “ball” which means a dance.
_______Take the word “can”. You “can” ride a bike which means you are able to ride a bike. You have a “can” of soup which means the soup is in a round-shaped holder. You can do the “can-can” which is a dance from the 1920s. And you might get “canned” if you do a poor job at work, which means you might lose your job.
How about “fly”? You can “fly” that is on your food in your house. Or, you can “fly by the seat of your pants” which means you don't make a plan before taking an action. And, you know that the “fly” of the zipper.
There are hundreds of words that are multi-meaning words. The word “set” has more meanings than any other word in the English language. When you have time, why don't you try to think of all the ways the word “set” is used?
If you look at the title of this book Can a Fly, Fly? …you know that the answer is “Yes” because you have seen an insect named a “fly” go up in the air and move around through the air …which is what “fly” means. Can a Fly, Fly? Of course, it can!

25、An ID card is the most important proof of identity for each person. It shows one’s name, date of birth, address, nationality, photo and ID number.
China’s top legislature (立法机关) added something new to the Resident Identity Card Law. It passed the suggestions of recording Chinese citizens’ fingerprints when they apply for or change ID cards.
Fingerprints would make it easier to recognize the people who own the cards. It can stop people from making fake ID cards.
Li Xiao’ou, a bank worker in Beijing, said fingerprint data will make bank business safer. “No two people have the same fingerprints,” he said. “The new card can better protect their private information. It will prevent their identity from being used by others when people want to do banking.”
As ID cards will contain more personal information, many people worry that some institutions (公共机构) may let their information out. The amended law tries to better protect it. Government offices and other public institutions, like banks and hospitals, could face a fine of 500,000 yuan if they give out citizens’ personal information.

26、 On the first day of college, our teacher asked us to get to know someone who we didn't know.

"I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me. After class we walked together and shared what we had. We became good friends.
Rose became a campus icon. In our school, almost everyone loved her and studied from her. She easily made friends wherever she went. At the end of the term, we invited Rose to make a speech. I'll never forget what she taught us. She said, "There are some secrets to staying young, being happy and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it! There is a great difference between growing older and growing up.

27、Some people have a very poor sense(感觉) of direction. Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.
When I was a little girl, I never dared ask strangers the way. So I used to walk round in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.

Once on my way to work, I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn’t want to keep him waiting.

In those days, such people were called alchemists. Soon the husband ran through all his money. So the wife begged him to find a job. But he ________ with his dream.

You must plant the bananas yourself and put spells on them. When the plant grows, the powder will become magical. And you need two pounds of it.”
The son-in-law shouted loud. “That would require hundreds of banana plants!”
“Yes,” sighed the old man, “That’s why I am too ________ to complete the work myself.”
“Do not ________!” said the young man, “I will!” So the old man taught him the magic spells and gave him enough money to start the project.
The next day, the young man began to work just as the old man had told. Each day he looked after the plants ________ . It took him several years to collect two pounds of the powder. He rushed to his father-in-law’s house.
