24、 Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories, destroying (摧毁)fourteen homes.

Mrs. Woo said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children. “There was no time to take anything,” she said. “A few minutes later, the roof came down.”
Soldiers helped to take people out of the flooded (水淹的) area and the welfare department (福利机构)provided them with food, clothes and shelter.

25、 I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heart-breaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.
The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all—LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.

26、 Why is good grammar important? Well, good grammar can save lives! Just consider the difference between “Let’s eat, Grandma!” and “Let’s eat Grandma!” With the first one, you are inviting your grandma over for a lovely meal. The second one sounds like you are excited about cannibalism.
Jokes aside, some people think good grammar is unnecessary. They argue that as long as they are being understood, it should not matter whether there are a few grammatical mistakes or not.
But I don’t think so. I believe good grammar matters.
Thinking about your grammar when your writing makes you easier to be understood. You may think a grammatical mistake doesn’t matter. But think about it from the reader’s point of view.
Even a small mistake can make your reader stop and read the message again. He or she will have to spend more time understanding it.
Good English grammar will help improve your English skills generally. Being able to speak and write correctly, over time, builds your confidence while using English. This will encourage you to increase your vocabulary. With good grammar and a wide vocabulary, you will find it easier to express your ideas and communicate with native speakers.
Good grammar can also make you appear more reliable. Just think about your attitudes towards a newspaper that has many grammatical mistakes in its articles. You will doubt if the information in the newspaper is reliable, won’t you?
The same is true on a personal level. Your writing shows who you are. If there are many careless mistakes, then it appears to readers that you don’t care about your work. This makes them less likely to trust you.
I hope you have now seen the importance of good grammar.
