26、A teacher let her class play a game. The teacher told each child to bring a bag with some potatoes. Each potato would be given a name of a person that the child hated, so the number of potatoes in his/her bag would depend on the number of people the child hated. Some children had two potatoes, some had three and others had up to five potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry the bag wherever they went for a week. After a week, the teacher asked, “How did you feel?” The children started complaining about the unpleasant smell coming from the rotten potatoes when they had to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes everywhere they went.

Then the teacher said,” This is the same when you carry your hate for somebody inside your heart. The smell of hate will pollute your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot bear the smell of rotten potatoes for just one week, can you imagine what it is like to have the smell of hate in your heart for your lifetime?”

27、Feeding bread to the ducks is a fond pastime for many of us, reminding us of happy childhood trips to the local park.【1】Eating it can cause our feathered friends to develop a condition called Angel Wing, which is when too much bread makes birds’ feathers grow too quickly. This additional weight puts a strain on their muscles, causing their wings to twist and drop open, and if not treated fast, they can lose the ability to fly.

“Angel Wing can be cured if we reach birds before it has developed too severely,” says Caroline Simpson, a trustee of UK charity Swan Lifeline. “【2】” Over the last 20 years UK charity Swan Lifeline has rescued and treated more than 30,000 birds. Adult birds can develop heart disease by eating much bread, so it’s important that we do our best to prevent this by feeding then with the right kind of food.

【3】Rotten (腐烂的) bread at the bottom of rivers and lakes allows bacteria to produce, spreading disease and attracting rats and other pests to our waterways, which can result in the presence of a mould (霉菌) called Aspergillus. It has the potential to kill waterfowl (水禽) and other wildlife if it gets into their lungs.

【4】Giving birds the right food — like frozen peas, sweetcorn and some other plants — is good for both them and the environment. They can float on the water surface, and birds can enjoy them.【5】

A．So we must stop feeding the ducks.

B．But did you know that bread actually puts birds in danger?

C．This doesn’t mean we have to stop fun trips to feed the ducks.

D．Bread can also cause harmful changes to the natural ecosystem (生态系统).

E．What a scene it is to watch ducks eating bread loating on the river.

F．Otherwise the results can be serious — such as the loss of the wing.

G．So next time take a healthier alternative and do your bit to protect our precious wildlife.

28、Festivals play an important role in a culture’s identity. I can’t think of a better way of appreciating a new culture than by taking part in one of its festivals. Here are some special festivals around the world．

For two weeks in July, millions gather in Borueong to experience the grey pools and slides．What began as a way of promoting the region’s mineral-rich mud has turned into a festive party, complete with music and fireworks.While the mud is usually only available in cosmetic products, here you can cake yourself in grey as you want．

Although their current Queen’s birthday is really during the winter, the Queen still celebrates it on April 30th, the country’s official “ Queen’s Day” since 1949．Orange is the national color, and the streets become a sea of feather boas（长围巾）and body paint as crowds gather in the plazas（广场）．Amsterdam is the center of this outdoor party, with many live music acts, but nearly every town is alive with orange on this day．

29、The ability to use the left hand is referred to as left-handedness. Left-handedness is actually more common in the male population than in females. There are a number of myths (杜撰的事) about them.

It is difficult for left-handed children to learn writing of the alphabet, without personal tutoring. Not true at all. Observe the left-handed toddler. Everyone else is more bothered about his left-handedness than he himself is. The left-handed child adapts to writing, drawing and all other activities that require him to hold a writing tool as early as the right-handed. In fact, many left-handed people display neater handwriting than their right-handed partners.

Lefties have a lesser chance of surviving a hand-to-hand fight. This is anything but true. History bears witness to the advantage left-handedness had during hand-to-hand fights and even within the boxing ring. In fact, a common observation is that the left-handed fighter is able to strike a strong surprise attack on the open, unprotected right side.

Left-handed people are many a time at the disadvantage of using tools designed for the right-handed. Well, this is true, but today, there is a whole range of tools and equipment being designed for left-handed people. Many right-handed tools too are available, such that they can be molded to suit the needs of the left-handed craftsman. Even the computer mouse has been challenged in use and the touch pad provides a left-handed professional equal opportunity.

Research reveals that left-handed people are in fact high achievers. This is because their brains are structured to widen their abilities. A number of mathematical, artistic and sporting geniuses were and are left-handed. However, most left-handers over the world, might have, at some stage in their life, been on the receiving end of an uncomplimentary (贬损的) remark or comment regarding their choice of hand. I am sure this list and discussion about the myths and facts would be reason enough to be proud of being left-handed.

【1】Compared to right-handed children, what can we learn about left-handed ones?

A．Left-handed children find it hard to learn writing.

B．Left-handed children are tired of the left-handedness.

C．Left-handed children are used to writing tools too late.

D．Plenty of left-handed children have more beautiful handwriting.

【2】What advantage do lefties have in hand-to-hand fights?

A．They could attack their partners’ left sides surprisingly.

B．They could start a surprise attack with their left hands.

C．They have a better chance to beat their partners in history.

D．They are good at fighting especially within the boxing ring.

【3】What is the computer mouse mentioned to show us?

A．Left-handed people are in fact high achievers.

B．Left-handed people have many disadvantages.

C．Many left-handed receive bad remarks daily.

D．Many tools are designed for the left-handed

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards left-handers?

A．Positive

B．Negative

C．Critical

D．Neutral (中立的)

A．History of left-handed people

B．Myths about left-handed people

C．Advantages of left-handed people

D．Discussion about left-handed people

“Tomorrow, they’ll win. I’m certain!” I heard one person say as we left to go home. “_________”another replied. When we were returning, I asked my uncle, “Why were they so_________ when the score was 0 today-how can they be sure that tomorrow the team will win?” That’s__________it means to be a Cubs fan: we believe in tomorrow.
