Johanna was given a basket. She could pick as much as she wanted. The more she picked, the more she would have to pay. She wasn't sure how much to get. She started filling her basket. She ate some strawberries while picking them. They were so big and juicy! And the sun had made them sweet.

The basket was quickly filled. Johanna took it to the farmer to pay for it. She handed him a ten-dollar bill (钞票) and got back one dollar. “How cheap!” Johanna thought.

26、Today, our children spend more and more time online. Many children spend a lot of their free time playing games on the Internet, on video game systems or on their mobile phones. In the UK, 99% of teen kids aged 8 to 15 play video games every week, and children as young as five play video games regularly (有规律地). This information tells that the advantages and dangers of video games must be carefully considered.

For many people, ________ They have bright lights, funny cartoons and exciting stories. Video games also make you think in a creative way and you have to move your hands and eyes quickly. This can improve the way that a child’s brain works. Video games also make children use their imagination (想象力). The player has to do many creative things, like drawing and building things. Video games are also a good way to teach children about technology because they can learn how computers and other devices (设备) work while they play.

However, a recent study suggests that video games can also be bad for children. First, children can download (下载) many games for free. They don’t need money, so they don’t need to ask their parents if they can download the games. This means that parents often don’t know if their children are playing violent (暴力的) or scary games. Second, many children spend too much time playing games on computers, smartphones and iPads and this can lead to health problems – children who spend too much time on the computer and don’t exercise can become overweight. Third, if children spend too much time playing games instead of doing homework, they can have problems at school and get bad grades. Finally, video games can affect children’s social skills, they might not learn how to play with their friends.

In conclusion, it seems clear that video games have some advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, they are fun and educational. On the other hand, they can cause problems with children’s health and social skills.It is up to parents to know what games their children are playing and how much time they spend on them. Parents should also make sure their children get enough exercise and spend time with other children.

27、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从下面各小题所给的四个备选项中，选出最佳选项。

Paper cutting is a kind of Chinese traditional art. It’s very popular in the countryside. The bright colors of red, green or light blue paper cutting create a happy atmosphere(氛围). So it is often found in weddings or festivals in China.

A thousand years ago, paper cutting was used for decoration (装饰品). Women in the Tang Dynasty used paper cutting as the headdress (头饰). In the Song Dynasty, it was the decoration of the gifts. People put it on windows or doors or used it as decorations on walls, mirrors or lanterns.

Paper cutting is all made by hand. Learners need only a knife and some paper. For craftsmen (工匠), they need knives and different gravers (雕刻刀) to make special patterns (图案). Simple patterns are cut with a knife. For complicated (复杂的) patterns, people first pasted (粘贴) the pattern (图案) on the paper and then used different kinds of knives to make it. No mistake should be made during the process, otherwise the work would fail. Paper cutting covers nearly all subjects, from flowers, birds, animals, people in classic novels, to different kinds of facial make-up (脸谱) in Beijing opera.
