26、It was New Year’s Eve. Everyone in the city was getting ready for the three-day celebration, including the gardener of the king’s garden.

There was a large group of monkeys living in the garden. They always followed the advice of their leader, the monkey king.

The gardener wanted to celebrate the New Year’s holiday, just like everybody else, so he decided to hand over his duties to the monkeys.

He went to the monkey king and said, "My honorable friend, would you do a little favor for me? New Year is coming. I wish to celebrate it. So I must be away for three days. Here in this lovely garden. There are plenty of fruits and berries and nuts to eat. You and your subjects may come and eat as much as you wish. In return, please water the young trees and plants while I’m gone."

The monkey king replied, "Don’t worry, my friend! We will do a terrific job! Have a good time!"

The gardener showed the monkeys where the buckets were kept. Feeling confident, he left to celebrate the holiday. The monkeys called after him, "Happy New Year!"

The next day, the monkeys filled up the buckets, and began watering the young trees and plants. Then the king of the monkeys addressed them,"It is not good to waste water. Therefore, pull up each young tree or plant before watering. Inspect（检查）it to see how long the roots（根）are. Then give more water to the ones with long roots, and less water to the ones with short roots. That way we will not waste water, and the gardener will be pleased!"

Without a second thought, the other monkeys followed their king’s orders.

Meanwhile, a wise man was walking by the garden. He saw the monkeys pulling up all the lovely young trees and plants, measuring their roots, and carefully pouring water into the holes in the ground. He said, "Oh foolish monkeys, what do you think you’re doing to the king’s beautiful garden?"

They answered, "We are watering the trees and plants, without wasting water! We were commanded to do so by our king."

The man said, "If this is the wisdom of the wisest among you — the king — what are the rest of you like? Intending to do a worthwhile deed, your foolishness turns it into disaster!"

27、   "If you want to see thing well, reach out and touch it!" That may seem a strange thing to say it. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music. All children soon learn what "Don't touch!" means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet. There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to feel them! Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, "Do touch!" There you can feel everything on show. If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!

28、The oceans have a plastic rubbish problem, and it’s growing by 8 million tons a year. Three years ago, a Dutch teenager named Boyan Slat designed a solution: an ocean rubbish collection device that would collect ocean plastic without harming ocean life.

These days, Slat is anxious to put his ocean-cleaning idea to the test. A passing grade might lead to the removal of nearly half of the plastic rubbish floating (漂浮) in the Pacific Ocean. But the process needs to be tested in real-world conditions before it can be fully started — or beat the criticism (批评) of scientists who are doubtful that it can work.

Slat’s idea is opposite to existing oceanic cleanup methods: Instead of sending ships out to run after floating rubbish, position a fixed, floating, V-shaped buffer (缓冲器) in the ocean so that water moves through it, funneling (使流经漏斗状空间) plastic rubbish into a container while allowing animals to swim past the net-free device.

To test the idea, Slat and his company, Ocean Cleanup, plan to place a 6,561-foot-long float in the Korea Strait. If realized, it would be the largest floating structure ever used. If the technology works, Ocean Cleanup hopes to build a 62-mile-long system that would float somewhere between Hawaii and California. This one would be big enough to deal with an area containing millions of tons of plastic rubbish.

When it first appeared on the Internet in 2013, Slat’s plan caught hearts around the world. But the scientific community doubts whether it would work, how effective it would be, and its possible environmental influence. Slat and the 100-member staff of his company, Ocean Cleanup, answered last year with a 530-page report stating that a 62-mile-long model would remove 42 percent of the plastics in the Pacific Ocean in less than 10 years.

【1】What is the purpose of Boyan Slat’s invention?

A．To remove ocean plastic.

B．To catch scientists’ attention.

C．To gain fame.

D．To beat the criticism of other teenagers.

【2】What do we know about Slat’s invention?

A．Its position changes with the wind.

B．It collects rubbish with some nets.

C．It works mainly with the V-shaped buffer.

D．It uses funnels to control the floating plastic.

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A．Slat tested the device in the Korea Strait.

B．Slat’s device works well in the Pacific Ocean.

C．Ocean Cleanup built a 62-mile-long floating structure.

D．Ocean Cleanup needs to prove the value of its new device.

【4】What is the scientific community’s attitude towards Slat’s invention?

A．Supportive.

B．Doubtful.

C．Uncaring.

D．Objective.

29、The San Francisco Giants added a special pitcher（投球手）for the day. It was small—yet fierce—Hailey Dawson, who has a 3D-printed hand.

The energetic 8-year-old from Nevada was invited to throw out the first pitch at the Giants game on Sunday. Dawson was born with Poland syndrome（综合症）, a disorder in which affected individuals are born with missing or underdeveloped muscles on one side of the body. It affected her hand.

Hailey’s mother said the hand had given her daughter a wonderful lift. “When she puts this robotic hand on, it changes her personality and confidence level,” Yong Dawson told CBS San Francisco. “I love seeing that. I just wanted her to have an even playing field.”

When she arrived at AT&T Park on Sunday, Hailey got to hang out with players in the shelter at the side of the sports field. They even let her try on their World Series rings.

Using her 3D-printed hand, Dawson threw out the perfect first pitch. Then with a wave and a smile, she headed into the stands to cheer on her newfound friends on the Giants.
