26、One day, a poor man, who had only one piece of bread to eat, was walking past a restaurant. There was a large pot of soup on the table. The poor man held his bread over the soup, so the steam from the soup went into the bread, and gave it a good smell. Then he ate the bread.
The restaurant owner was very angry at this, and he asked the man for money, in exchange for the steam from the soup. The poor man had no money, so the restaurant owner took him to Nasreddin, who was a judge at that time. Nasreddin thought about the case for a little while.
Then he took some money from his pocket. He held the coins next to the restaurant owner’s ear, and shook them, so that they made a dingling（叮当声）noise.
“What was that?” asked the restaurant owner.
“That was payment for you,” answered Nasreddin.

27、Bertie knew there was something in the wind. His mother had been sad in recent days, not sick, just strangely sad. The lion had just lain down beside him, his head warm on Bertie’s feet, when Father cleared his throat and began, “You’ll soon be eight, Bertie. A boy needs a proper education. We’ve found the right place for you, a school near Salisbury in England.”
His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie could think of was his white lion. “But the lion,” he cried, “What about the lion?”
“I’m afraid there’s something else I have to tell you,” his father said. Looking across at Bertie’s mother, he took a deep breath. Then he told Bertie he had met a circus owner from France, who was over in Africa looking for lions to buy. He would come to their farm in a few days.
“No! You can’t send him to a circus!” said Bertie. “He’ll be shut up behind bars. I promised him he never would be. And they will come to see him and laugh at him. He’d rather die. Any animal would!” But as he looked across the table at them, he knew their minds were quite made up.
Bertie felt completely betrayed. He waited until he heard his father’s deep breathing next door. With his white lion at his heels, he crept downstairs in his pyjamas, took down his father’s rifle from the rack and stepped out into the night. He ran and ran till his legs could run no more. As the sun came up over the grassland, he climbed to the top of a hill and sat down, his arms round the lion’s neck. The time had come. “Be wild now,” he whispered. “You’ve got to be wild. Don’t ever come home. All my life I’ll think of you, I promise I will.” He buried his head in the lion’s neck. Then, Bertie clambered down off the hill and walked away.
When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up, yawned, stretched, and sprang down after him. Bertie shouted at him, but he kept coming. He threw sticks. He threw stones. Nothing worked.
There was only one thing left to do. Tears filling his eyes and his mouth, he lifted the rifle to his shoulder and fired over the lion’s head.

28、A medical study has shown that excess (过度的) coffee drinking could cause heart attacks in people who do not metabolize (使新陈代谢) caffeine fast enough.
The study, published recently in the Journal of the American Medical Association, says an enzyme (酶) that metabolizes caffeine in the liver works differently in some people, depending on the makeup of the gene (基因). People who have a slow version (版本) of the enzyme are at a greater risk (风险) of a heart attack when they drink more coffee. The risk had something to do with a person’s age and how many cups of coffee he drinks.
The team from the University of Toronto in Canada studied 4,024 people living in coffeerich Costa Rica between 1994 and 2004, of whom half suffered nonfatal (非致命的) heart attacks. They found slightly more than half had the slow version of the gene, while the rest had the fast form.
Two to three cups of coffee a day increased the possibilities of a heart attack by 36 percent for those with the slowacting gene and four or more cups a day lifted it by 64 percent.
But those under 50 who had the fast version of the gene had a lower risk of heart disease, even with four or more cups a day.
Those with the fastacting gene who drank two to three cups of coffee a day had 22 percent reduced possibilities of having a heart attack, but drinking four or more cups a day only lessened the risk by 1 percent. Scientists recommend limiting coffee consumption (消耗量) to within four cups a day.
【1】People who have a slow version of the enzyme________.
A．are in danger when they drink coffee
B．are living in coffeerich Costa Rica
C．have the slow version of the gene
D．can not drink four or more cups of coffee a day

A．the heart attack in Costa Rica is really serious.
B．the heart problem has something to do with drinking coffee.
C．people in Costa Rica cannot metabolize caffeine in the liver.
D．more than half people have the slow version of gene.
【3】It can be concluded that the passage is most probably written for________
A．doctors who study heart disease
B．specialists who offer medical care
C．old people who have the slow version of the gene
D．those who love drinking coffee every day
【4】What is the best title for this passage?
A．Coffee and heart attacks
B．Gene and heart disease
C．Caffeine and enzyme
D．Reasons for heart problems
29、 The Caballero family from Tempe, Arizona were outside on their regularly scheduled walk with their dog named Olive when they were joined by a tiny baby gray fox. Now, the fox mistook Olive for her mother and started following them around the neighborhood.
The fox was about 20 centimeters in length and had a gray coat. They later found out that she was just 6 weeks old at that point. The tiny fox followed them home, where the sprinklers (洒水器) were on at that moment, so she ran to have a drink, which is when Rosalyn noticed how thirsty she was as she couldn’t stop drinking.
Considering that the fox was far away from home and her mother, alone—something that is not common among foxes, the family decided it would be best to get in touch with Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center for help.
They found a box and caught the baby fox so that she wouldn’t wander off into danger. They got the fox inside the box without touching her. The kids were quick to name her Foxy.
The fox was soon brought to the Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center. She was first fed using syringes (注射器), but now has learned how to eat on her own from a bowl. “She appears to be doing quite well. She was a little dehydrated (脱水) when we got her, but otherwise healthy. She was already eating solid food. so we’ve managed to fatten her up a bit in the short time she’s been at Southwest Wildlife. She’s likely to grow up into a strong, healthy girl,” explained Jim Mitchell of the Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center.
Foxy is now in good hands, being taken care of. They are hoping to connect Foxy with some of the other foxes that came to the center recently to be released to the wild once they are strong enough.
【1】Why did the little fox follow the family?
A.The little fox knew the family well.
B.The family had much food.
C.The fox thought Oliver was her mother.
D.Oliver took her mother away by mistake.
【2】What is the common behavior (行为) of foxes?
A.Getting lost easily. B.Living together.
C.Drinking a lot. D.Not fearing people.
【3】What does “they” refer to in the last paragraph?
A.The foxes. B.The Caballero family.
C.The animal lovers. D.The center workers.
【4】What can we infer from the passage?
A.The Caballero family are kind and caring.
B.The family didn’t get along well with the little fox.
C.Foxy is still weak in The Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center.
D.The little fox can return to the wild at present.
