21、Long long ago, there was a kind lady. Every day, she baked bread for her family and an extra loaf for any hungry passer-by. She placed the extra bread beside a window. When the woman placed the bread, she always gave a prayer for her son. Her son had gone to a faraway place and she hadn’t heard from his for a very long time.

Every day, a tramp came and took away the bread. He said when he was leaving, “The evil you do remains with you. The good you do comes back to you.”

The woman felt irritated. “Not even a word of thanks”, she said to herself with unhappiness.

This went on, day by day.

Finally, the woman became so angry that she decided to get rid of the tramp. She added poison to the bread she was going to offer to the tramp! When she was placing it, her hands shook. “Look at what I’ve done!” she immediately threw the bread into fire and made another one.

As usual, the tramp came and pick up the bread. “The evil you do remains with you. The good you do comes back to you,” he said again and left.

That evening, there was a knock on the door. Surprisingly, the women’s son was standing in the doorway. He was tired and weak. “Mum, it’s a miracle that I can come back home! While I was only a mile away, I was so hungry that I almost gave up. But just then an old tramp gave me a loaf of bread. He said that the bread was his food everyday. But today, I should get the bread, for I needed the bread much more than he did!”

22、I love turtles(龟), but I haven't cared for them well. So please read the following before deciding on buying one.

You don't have enough room. Turtles need a lot of room to live happily. But this doesn't mean you should let them play freely across your house.

You can't give your turtle enough food. Most turtles eat both meat and plants. Whatever you do, don't think you can feed your pet the only food from a pet store, which is a death sentence(死刑)．

If you own a dog or a cat, don't risk buying the turtle unless you can keep them 100% separate(分开的)! One day, my dog ate a box turtle and about a month later the dog died. I've read that many box turtles carry toxins(毒素) in their bodies.

You can't offer right temperature. Once, I bought a turtle that was not put into a box. It died a few days later. In fact, the box can give it a good temperature.

You want an expensive pet for a status(身份) symbol. This may be the worst reason to buy a turtle. It means your heart is not on it, and you will not be taking all the steps necessary to care for the pet.

You will find different information in some books. You need to read more books to begin to understand the high level of care needed.

23、In the mid 1990’s, people started doing business on the Internet. At that time, there were two kinds of companies. First, there were traditional companies which sold things in stores. Then, there were Internet companies which didn’t have stores; they sold things only over the Net.

Traditional companies didn’t want to lose any business. Quickly, they created their own websites and began selling things over the Net. These are the so-called “brick and click”companies. Many stores are made of brick, and you click on your mouse to buy things with your computer. That’s where the name “brick and click” comes from.

By the late 1990’s, e-businesses like Amazon.com, Buy.com, and eToys.com were in trouble. Their profits were not very high, and there was a lot of competition. Many of these businesses lost a lot of money, and in 2000, many e-businesses were out of business.

One of the world’s most dangerous sports is mountain climbing, and one of the most popular places for this is the Himalayas. The Himalayas run along the southwestern part of China. And at 8,844.43 meters high, Mount Qomolangma is the tallest mountain of the Himalayas as well as on the Earth. While it is famous for its beautiful views, parts of the mountain are facing a problem: rubbish. Every year, visitors and climbers throw away tons of rubbish, such as bottles and plastic bags.

According to the UN, over 140 tons of rubbish has been left on the mountain. To reduce rubbish, China is limiting (限制) the number of people who are allowed to climb up the north side of the mountain. Only 300 people will be allowed to climb it, and only during spring.

People cleaned the mountain last year, removing rubbish at a height of 5,200 meters. They collected about 8.4 metric tons (公吨) of rubbish.

This year, the local government plans to spend 4 million yuan on a new clean-up activity. The local government is also setting up stations to sort (分类), recycle and break down rubbish collected from the mountain. A group of artists will also try to turn the rubbish into art works. They will show these works of art to remind people not to leave rubbish when climbing the mountain.

People believe that climbing can do well to health. Where can you learn the skills of climbing? If you think that you have to go to the mountains 【1】 (learn) how to climb, you're wrong.
