25、

Characters:

Buck —a dog

Judge (法官) Miller—Buck's owner

Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would know that trouble was coming.

In fact, trouble was on its way for every strong dog with warm long hair. This was because men, going throw the Arctic (北极的) darkness, had found a yellow metal—gold. And because shipping and transportation companies were advertising the discovery, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland. These men wanted heavy dogs, with strong muscles for working and thick coats to protect them from the cold.

Buck lived at Judge Miller’s house in the sunny-kissed Santa Clara Valley. There were big stable (马厩), long grape fields, fruit gardens and a big swimming pool. Buck ruled over the whole kingdom. Here he was born and here he had lived the four years of his life. He protected the judge's sons and daughters on long midnight or early morning walks. On cold winter nights, he lay at the Judge's feet in front of the warm library fire. He was king—King over everything, crawled (爬行), walked, or flew at Judge Miller's place, including humans.

Buck was this kind of dog in the autumn of 1897 when the discovery of gold in the Klondike pulled men from all over the world into the frozen North. But Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that Manuel, one of the gardener's helpers, was not to be trusted. Manuel loved to gamble (赌博). He believed he could win but he was doomed (注定) to failure.

On the night of Manuel's betrayal (背叛), no one saw him and Buck go off through the fields. Buck imagined it to be a relaxing walk. They arrived at a little train. A man talked with Manuel and money passed between them. Manuel tied a piece of thick rope around Buck's neck. Buck accepted it quietly. To be sure, it was unwanted, but Buck had learned to trust men he knew. However, when the ends of the rope were placed in the stranger's hands, he barked. Then, the rope tightened (收紧) painfully, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Then his strength disappeared, his eyes grew dim (浑浊), and he knew nothing when the train pulled up. Two men threw him into the baggage car.

26、   On Feb 12, 2020, Dalian (not his real name) was taking a train to Changsha, Hunan, for a business trip. While on the train, he went into a carriage (车厢) to have lunch and chose to remain in the carriage. He did not realize that the carriage was only for people heading to Wuhan. Several hours later, when the train arrived in Wuhan, Dalian was asked to get off, as he was in the special carriage. Although he was surprised, he didn’t want to cause trouble and got off the carriage with just a single bag. As Wuhan had been locked down because of the epidemic, Dalian couldn’t find a hotel to stay in. Feeling at a loss, he saw a notice online looking for volunteers to work in hospitals. The payment was 500 yuan a day. Dalian decided to give it a try. He soon became a volunteer at Wuhan No. 1 Hospital. He was responsible for taking out trash, mopping (拖) the floor, disinfecting (消毒) the hospital, dealing with used protective suits and bringing meals to patients. The young man, reportedly from northeast China, had to work 12 hours every day, changing his protective suit three times a day. While working, he couldn’t drink anything or go to the bathroom. He also had to have close contact with infected patients, which is risky. Dalian was afraid of getting infected at first. “When I entered the wards (病房), I was kind of frozen (僵硬的) and felt like I couldn’t move,” he said. But after seeing more patients get better, his fear gradually went away.

Dalian’s story has since gone viral (走红的) online. People were surprised by his experience, but also described him as having “a heart of gold”.

The eggplant is a member of the potato family. Eggplant varieties differ in s【1】, shape, color, growth habit and even maturation（成熟）time. This strangely named vegetable used to come in only one color – white. It grows in a manner much like tomatoes, hanging from the vine（藤）of a plant that grows several feet in height. It can be steamed, fried, and baked. It can be eaten by l【2】 or combined with meats and other vegetables, Eggplant was first grown in India in the 5th century BC. Its propularity soon spread to China. Finally, during the Middle Ages the vegetable made its way to Europe. At that time, eggplant was not the shiny purple vegetable most people know today. Instead, it’s like a white egg. Due to this egg-like appearance, eggplant got its name. In its early days, the vegetable was so bitter（苦的）that people often called it a“mad apple.”This nickname started because people believed its bitterness was bad for one’s health. People a【3】 thought eggplant could cause madness and cancer. In fact eggplant is so healthy that it may prevent cancer. In addition, the brain and the heart benefit from this super vegetable. Since it’s high in fibre（纤维素），eggplant can i【4】 digestion（消化）. Italy, Turkey, Egypt, China and Japan are the leading growers of eggplant in the world today. Depending on its location, eggplant may be purple, green, orange or yellow, white. And it can be as s【5】 as a tomato or as large as a cucumber. Dish varieties range from simple to complex, with all of them being delicious.

Today, t【6】 of people gather in Loomis, Calif, for the annual Loomis Eggplant Festival. The main activity at the festival is eating delicious eggplant dishes. There is plenty more to do and see, though. Recipe（食谱）contests, arts and crafts, performers, races and children’s activities all“egg - cite”（excite）festival – goers （参加节目活动者）. Most people at the festival would agree --- eggplant is an“egg-cellent”（excellent）vegetable.

Eggplants are now available in markets t【7】 the year, but they are their best from August to October when they are in season.
