24、A thirsty crow(乌鸦) comes across(偶然遇到) a bottle of water, but the water level is out of its reach. The bird then drops some stones into it and gets the water.
“It's just a story, ” you may think. But new research has found that crows' brains may sometimes be better than those of 6yearold children.
In a recent experiment, American scientist Corina Logan and her team caught six crows to test them. The crows and children had to choose between two sets of tubes(试管). They had to drop stones in and get water.
With the red set, when they dropped a stone into a wide tube, the water level raised in a connected narrow tube. The blue set of tubes, however, had no connection between them.
Children aged 7 to 10 were able to learn the rule. Children aged 4 to 6, however, failed. Five of the six crows failed the test. But Kitty, a 6monthold crow, passed it. She put most of the stones into the red tubes.
So, could a bird be more clever than a kindergartner? Don't be too quick to say no.

A well was in the yard of the center. The well was only eight inches across, and a rock always covered it. But children had moved the rock. When Jessica fell, and she fell right into the well.
Jessica’s mother reached inside the well, but she couldn’t feel Jessica. She ran to the phone and called 911 for help.
Men from the fire apartment arrived. They discovered that Jessica was about 20 feet down in the well. For the next hour, the men talked and planned Jessica’s rescue(营救). Then they told Jessica’s parents their plan.
“We can’t go into the well. ” they said “It’s too narrow. So, we’re going to drill(钻) a hole next to the well. Then we ‘ll drill a tunnel across Jessica. Then we’ll bring her up through the hole. ”
The man began to drill the hole on a Wednesday morning. “We’ll reach Jessica in a few hours ”, they thought. The men were wrong. They had to drill through the solid rock. Two days later, on Friday morning, they were still drilling,. And Jessica McClure was still in the well.
During her days in the well, Jessica sometimes called her mother. Sometimes she slept, sometimes she cried, and sometimes she sang.
All over the world people waited for the news of Jessica. They read about her in the newspapers and watched her rescue on TV. Everyone worried about the little girl in the well.

26、Living and dealing with kids can be a tough (棘手的,难办的)job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.
If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart (疏远). When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.
Communication begins with the concerns of another. It means that you can’'t just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore everyone. Even if you just say “Hi,” and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.
If you looked up the word “communication" in a dictionary, it would say” the exchange of ideas, conveyance(表达) of information, correspondence(一致), means of communication: a letter or message. To maintain a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note.
When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you.Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.
This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was a late, they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. Communication was the key factor here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.
Communication isn’t a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel—listening is the key factor to communication.
【1】The main idea of the second paragraph is ________.
A.the importance of friendship
B.to make your feeling known to others
C.the importance of communication
D.the disagreement between generations
【2】The example in this passage proves that ________.
A.Sophie’s parents are willing to listen to her
B.Sophie is very polite to her parents
C.Sophie did well in explaining her being late
D.communication is the solution (解决办法) to misunderstanding
【3】All the following statements are true EXCEPT “________”.
A.If you don’t agree with others, you d better let them know
B.It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothing
C.If you are not able to communicate, walk away
D.Communication is a two-way deal
27、English is becoming more and more popular in China. It can be used in every field, such as on some signs and restaurant menus. But there are some problems when people use it. Perhaps you’ve seen the English letters “WC” in your city. They show public toilets. But do you know it is far from native(地道的) English? In fact foreigners from English-speaking countries seldom use the letters. Workers in our city are changing “WC” signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus. Many other places in China are following our steps.
“WC is old-fashioned English. It sounds dirty to me,” says Nancy, a young woman from the US. The old sign will become “Gets/Men” and “Ladies / Women” “I see much poor English in everyday life,” she says. “I know what they mean, but they are Chinglish, when someone says to me ‘My hometown is Guizhou Province’, I know he or she should say ‘My hometown is in Guizhou Province’.” Hometown is a smaller place in a province. The common mistakes that Nancy picked up include “Not Entry”, “Direction of Airport”, which should be changed to “To the Airport” And it is “Room Rate”, not “Room Price”. And remember to “Keep off the Grass” rather than “Care of the Green”.
The next time you walk on the street or eat in the restaurant, you can go and see if the expressions are right.
