26、Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception(接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth—so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said. “I’ll give you twenty pounds.” “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I said.” Yes, I saw that. It’s nothing.”
Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I'll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean?” “You've just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I've changed my mind. I am sorry. I'll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You're right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ‘Would you mend this chair for me?’” “I wouldn't have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don't do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I'll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.

27、As prices and house costs keep rising, the “do-it-yourself” (DIY) is popular in the U.S. “We needed furniture for our living room,” says John Ross, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to make a few table s and chairs by ourselves.” John got married six months ago, and the same as many young people these days, they are competing to make a home when the cost of living is very high. So he and his wife took a 2-week class for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.
Jim has three boys and his wife died. So he has a full-time job at home. He also has a full-time in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. “I was deeply upset about it. Now I’ve finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself.”
John and Jim are usual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so that they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourselfer”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.

28、Dear Sharon Draper,
A lot of books have flashes of insight, but only few of them can open the readers’ mind and make them realize something new. Your book, Out of My Mind, filled me with those sparks. I enjoyed getting to know Melody. Despite the fact that she had cerebral palsy(脑瘫),Melody had an amazing character that shone brightly. Out of My Mind helped me learn a life-long lesson.
Your book has changed my point of view. I never teased those who had special needs, but I never really felt comfortable around them either. When I started reading your novel, I saw how Melody was a smart and talented girl. At the beginning of the book, I asked myself, “Would I be Melody’s friend?” The voice in my stomach told me the sad truth: no. I carried on with your book from start to finish, and when I closed it, I asked myself the same question, “Would I be Melody’s friend?” I realized, with a smile, that the answer was right in front of me. Throughout Out of My Mind, I had become Melody’s friend.
Last year, there was a boy in my class who had Asperger’s syndrome(阿斯伯格综合症). I didn’t really know him; he just seemed different to me. This was around the time that I read your novel. Melody showed me how she was just as good as anyone else in her classroom and how the same goes for anyone else with disabilities. The boy in my class amazed me by what he was capable of doing. As the days went by, I started helping him instead of avoiding him.
Melody opened my eyes and cleared the world around me. She showed me how a girl with cerebral palsy was the same as a girl like me. Now it is time for me to thank you for writing this amazing novel. I will never forget your fantastic book.
Sincerely,
Margaret Lim

29、 Some dogs can be really mean. They fight with other dogs and bark (吠) at you on the street when you walk by. Now scientists say that some dogs are badly behaved because they were taken away from their mothers too early. Scientists say this can turn them into aggressive (有攻击性的) dogs.
Researchers at the University of Milan in Italy studied 140 dogs aged between 18 months and seven years, according to the Daily Mail newspaper. Half of these dogs had been taken away from their mothers and given new homes when they were between 30 and 40 days old. The other half were taken away when they were 60 days old.
Researchers asked the owners where their pets were from and what breed (品种) they were. Then they asked owners to write down whenever their dogs behaved badly. Examples of bad behavior included biting furniture and clothes, barking a lot, and being aggressive toward people. Some dogs got angry if other dogs took away their food and toys. Some got terrified when they were walking outdoors or if they heard a sudden noise.
The scientists found that bad behavior was more common in dogs that had been taken away from their mothers between 30 and 40 days old. Behavior was also worse in dogs that had been taken away early and put in pet shops than those that had been removed later.
So if you want to keep a pet dog, think twice before getting one younger than two months old. Your puppy could grow up to be a real troublemaker.
【1】What does the underlined word “mean” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Curious. B.Sharp. C.Unkind. D.Intelligent.
【2】What happened to the dogs taken away from their mothers too early?

B.Breeds have a close connection with bad behavior .
C.The earlier dogs are removed, the worse they behave.
D.All the dogs aren't taken away from their mothers after birth.
【4】What is the writer's advice on keeping a pet dog?
A.Stopping their bad behaviors.
B.Thinking little for a troublemaker.
C.Keeping a dog older than two months.
D.Keeping a dog younger than two months.
