24、A rabbit is running into its hole. You may ask, “What happened?”

Well, when a rabbit sees something dangerous, it runs away. Its tail moves up and down as it runs. When other rabbits see this tail moving up and down, they run too. They know that there is danger. The rabbit has told them something without making a sound. It has given them a signal（信号）.

Many other animals use this kind of language. When a bee found some food, it goes back to his home. It can not tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little dance in the air. This tells the bees where the food is.

Some animals say things by making sounds. A dog barks, for example, when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs (发出呼噜呼噜的声音)when pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning.

But human beings have something that no animals have –-- a large number of words about things, actions, feelings or ideas. We are able to give each other information, to tell or inform other people what is in our mind or how we feel. By writing words down we can remind ourselves of the things what have happened, or send messages to people far away. No animals can do this. No animals has the wonderful power of language.

No one knows how man learned to make words. Somehow he learned to make them. As centuries went by, he made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language.

People living in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fifteen hundred different languages in the world. A very large English dictionary, for example, contains four or five hundred thousand words. But we do not know all these. The words we know are called vocabulary. We should try to make our vocabulary larger. Read as many books as possible. When we meet a new word, look it up in the dictionary. A dictionary is the most useful book.

【1】When a rabbit gives the other rabbits a signal of danger, it _______.

A. runs into its hole

B. stops to move its tail

D.stops moving its tail up and down as it runs

【2】It has been proved that no animal is able to _______.

26、Gary and Gavin were twin brothers who worked in a department store owned by their father. After their father had passed away, they took over the store. Everything went well until the day a twenty-dollar bill disappeared. Gary had left the bill on the cash register (收银机). But when he returned, the money was gone.

Gary then asked his brother Gavin, “Did you see that twenty-dollar bill on the cash register?” Gavin said that he did not. But Gary did not let it go and kept questioning. “The twenty-dollar bill can’t get up and walk away by itself! Surely you must have seen it.” There was accusation (谴责) in Gary’s voice. Tempers began to rise and resentment (愤慨) grew. “I said I didn’t see it!” Gavin replied with anger.

The quarrel separated the young men and they could no longer work together. Later, a wall was built in the center of the store. For twenty years, hostility never ended.

One day, a strange man came to the store. He walked in and asked Gary, “How long have you been here?” Gary replied that he’d been there all his life. “Then you are the person I’m looking for, since I must confess (承认) something to you,” the customer said emotionally. “Twenty years ago, I was totally hungry. I entered this store from the back door and saw a twenty-dollar bill on the cash register. And I took it. All these years I haven’t been able to forget that. I had to come back and ask for your forgiveness.”

The stranger felt astonished (吃惊的) when seeing tears well (涌出) up in the eyes of the middle-aged man in front of him. “Would you please go to the next door and tell the same story to the man in the store?” Gary asked. Then something surprised the stranger even more—after hearing his story, the two middle-aged men hugged each other and went together in front of the wall of the store.

After twenty years, the wall of resentment (怨恨) that set them apart finally came down.

【1】How did the twin brothers get on with each other before the twenty-dollar bill disappeared?

27、A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to cheer us up or let us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves — the positive and negative (正面和负面) influences are just as lasting.

We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too shy to admit(承认) it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more scientists believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.

This “self-talk” helps us make ourselves active, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. It is said that as much as 77% of self-talk is likely to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”

Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the influence they will have. But we should realize that our words cause certain influence in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the salesperson will probably answer in a similar manner. Otherwise you may get into trouble.

Words have power because of their lasting influences. Many of us feel sorry for something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.

Words have power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-confidence and encourage others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to cure? The choice is ours.

【1】There is no need for us to feel shy when we talk to ourselves because ________.

A. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves

B. talking to ourselves always gives us courage

C. we may gain quite a few advantages of talking to ourselves

D. it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone

【2】The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also ________ in time.

A. remind ourselves   B. praise ourselves

C. make ourselves relaxed   D. give ourselves fun

【3】In which column(版面) of the newspaper can you most likely read this passage?

A. News. B. Nature. C. Health. D. Culture.
