21、

In ancient(古代的) China, most kids never got a chance to go to school. They had to plant rice and vegetables, feed chickens or take care of their little brothers or sisters.

But if you were a boy, your father could spare you from the fields and send you to school. If there wasn’t a school in your village, you might have to live with your relatives or strangers in a town. Luckily, beginning in the Han dynasty, the school fees(费用) were paid by the emperor(皇帝). Boys worked very hard in school, because the school prepared them for the government tests. And whoever scored highly in the tests could get a good job.

Boys usually started school when they were about six years old. Elementary schools were very small with only one teacher for the whole school. Boys went to school every day, with no weekends, from about 6:00 in the morning to about 4:00 in the afternoon. There weren’t any Maths or science lessons. The students learned how to read and write, and how to paint pictures.

22、Story 1

In America in 1940, the twin boys went to live with two different families almost as soon as they were born. The two brothers never saw each other again until 1979, when they met by chance at a party. When they started talking to each other, they discovered some amazing similarities (相似处). First, they found out that they both enjoyed making things out of wood. Later on, they discovered that they had both married women called Linda, and that they both had one son whose first and middle names were James and Alan. Besides, both brothers had called their dogs by the same name—Toy. As if that wasn’t enough, they also found out that they both took their family holiday at the same place every year.
