21、   Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s. The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach (菠菜) to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people's diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.

Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron (铁) than any other green vegetable.

People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.

Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs-folic acid (叶酸).

It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.

【1】A good title for this reading passage is________.

A.Popeye the Sailor B.The Truth About Spinach

C.A Mistake with Numbers D.Folic Acid Makes You Strong

【2】Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?

A.They thought spinach made them strong. B.They thought Popeye was funny.

C.Spinach had a lot of iron. D.People liked folic acid.

【3】A research group told people that spinach________.

A.made Popeye strong B.was a green vegetable

C.had less iron than other green vegetables D.had more iron than other green vegetables

【4】The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from ________.

A.iron B.folic acid C.spinach D.exercise

22、   Two months after returning to England, Gulliver sets sail on a ship, travelling to the Cape of

Good Hope(好望角). On the way a strong storm draws the ship off course(航向) and the ship finally arrives at an unknown land. Gulliver sees a giant(巨人) following the boat. He runs away, and when he stops, he is on a hill. He is greatly surprised to see that the grass around is about twenty feet high.

He walks down a path through a field but cannot see anything over a crop because it is forty feet high. He tries to climb a set of steps into the next field, but he cannot climb over them because they are too high. When he sees another giant, Gulliver hides from him, but the giant calls for more people to come, and they begin to cut the crop with scythes. Gulliver lies down and feels sad about his situation, thinking about how unimportant he must be to these giant men.

A giant finally notices him, and picks him up between his fingers to get a closer look. Finally the giant puts him in his pocket and begins to walk towards his master(主人).

The giant’s master, the farmer of these fields, takes Gulliver from his man and watches him more closely. He asks the other men if they have ever seen anything like Gulliver, then puts him onto the ground. They sit around him. Gulliver begins to speak as loudly as he can.

24、The next time you are out walking your dog, be sure to keep your eyes on the ground. Maybe you can find some treasures. That is exactly what happened to a California couple who recently happened to find the most valuable ancient gold in North America.

John and Mary, a couple, lived in Northern California’s Gold Country. One day they were walking their dog along the road as usual. However, this time around, John noticed a rusty bottle sticking out(凸出) from the ground. They decided to take a closer look, and then they unearthed it with a stick and took it home.

The can(罐) was very heavy, making the couple guess that it was filled with paint(油漆). However, when John opened it and saw the side of a shiny coin, he knew he had found gold!

The couple immediately returned to the area with a small shovel to see if there were any more bottles to be found. Sure enough, they found one more. This one had broken and scattered(散开) all its treasures into the ground below. And that was not all—over the next few days the couple found six more in the area.

According to the dates of the coins, as well as, the condition of the metal cans, experts believe that the gold was buried(埋) sometime in the late 19th century, right after the California’s Gold Rush.
