24、Once there were two brothers. The elder was called Simon and the younger Victor. They loved each other very much, and always took care of each other. Every day they worked from morning until night, getting as much grain (谷物) as possible from their fields.

One late autumn evening, after their work in the fields was done, Simon said to his wife, “Victor got married last month. He has to support his family. I think I should put a bag of rice in his barn (谷仓).”

“Oh, that’s a good idea,” said his wife. So, late that night Simon took a bag of rice to Victor’s barn. But the next day, he found something strange! He still had the same number of bags in his barn!

Simon decided to take another bag of rice to his brother’s barn that night. But the next morning, he found the same number of bags in his barn again! “This is very strange,” he thought. That night he tried again. He carried a large bag of rice and walked down the road to his younger brother’s house. In the bright moonlight, he could see another person coming down the road. He was carrying something on his shoulder, too. “Younger Brother!” Simon cried, “What are you doing?” “Your family is larger than mine. I thought you needed more rice.” said Victor.

26、   Cheetahs（猎豹）live on other animals they find in Africa. For this reason, most people are afraid of them. However, one family in South Africa is keeping a cheetah as a household pet.

The big cheetah is named Jolie, after the film star Angelina Jolie. She is surely the VIP at Magda and Japie Pienaar's home. She can often be found eating from the kitchen table or napping（打盹）on the sofa. Sometimes, she can even be found sleeping on the couple's bed. The big cat likes to play with the Pienaars' other pet — the more usual one — a German Shepherd. An unlikely friendship has developed between these two animals.

Having a cheetah as a pet is, of course, unusual. At first, Mrs. Pienaar was unwilling to keep a cheetah as a pet. "I really hated the idea of getting a cheetah as a pet," she said. "But we are now glad that we did it — she is part of the family," she added.

And just like Angelina Jolie, four-year-old Jolie the cheetah has risen to fame in the Pienaars' hometown. Fans often come to the couple's home to take pictures of her. Interestingly, Jolie seems to enjoy all the attention.

However, a cheetah is always a cheetah. Although Jolie is now a household pet, she hasn't totally gotten rid of her wild nature. "She makes a big mess in the house. She urinates（排尿）everywhere and chews on everything," complained Mrs. Pienaar. "It's just her instincts, perhaps."

So there might be some problems with having a cheetah as a pet in the house. However, some unusual fun must also be waiting ahead!

【1】According to this passage, cheetahs ________.

A.eat meat B.live in Asia C.make most people happy D.live with many families

【2】The pet cheetah's name came from ________.

A.their daughter B.a film star C.a famous writer D.the animal's birthplace

【3】In the couple's house, the pet cheetah can be found ________

A.using the toilet B.playing with the kids

C.eating from the kitchen table D.taking a short sleep on their desk

【4】What did Mrs. Pienaar think of keeping a cheetah at first?

A.She had mixed feelings. B.She was against the idea.

C.She thought over the idea. D.She felt excited about the idea.
