21、Once there were two brothers. Nolbu, the older one, was rich and greedy(贪婪的), Hyungbu, the younger brother, was poor and generous.
One day when Hyungbu's seven children were hungry, he went to ask his brother for rice to feed them. But when his sister-in-law(嫂子) saw Hyungbu, she did not want to give him any rice. Instead she hit him on the cheek with the rice spoon. Hyungbu was so hungry that he ate the little bit of rice on his face. Then he turned the other cheek and told her to hit him again. This time she hit him with a clean spoon.
On his way home, Hyungbu found a swallow whose leg was broken. He took care of it until it was well, and then let it fly away.
When spring came, the swallow brought Hyungbu a gourd seed(葫芦籽) to plant. In the fall, after he harvested the gourds, Hyungbu opened one of them. Gold coins poured out! He became a rich man.
Nolbu was jealous(嫉妒的) because his younger brother now had a big house with a beautiful garden. He wanted to know how Hyungbu became so rich. So Hyungbu told him exactly what had happened. On the way home from Hyungbu's house, Nolbu found a swallow. He broke its leg, and then cared for it. After it got better, he let it fly away. The following year, the swallow brought him a gourd seed, Nolbu did just what Hyungbu had done.

23、 Imagine a perfect day: the weather is good and everything seems fine. When, suddenly, your mobile phone loses its signal, the television has no programs, and you can't get online with your computer.
What has happened? These are just the types of problems a solar storm(太阳风暴) might cause. You may not think of storms as putting out society in danger. But today, a solar storm is as serious as other bad events, such as earthquakes.
A solar storm is caused by solar flares(太阳耀斑): large explosions(爆炸) near the sun that can give off lots of energy. The strong energy can stop the satellite systems(卫星系统) that control our computers, telecom networks and so on. These storms can even cause the power to go out for weeks or months.
In the past few months, scientists have recorded some of the strongest sun flares in years. The most recent one happened around Valentine's Day, 2011. It caused radio and satellite signals to go down in some northern cities in China.
“Solar flare activity is going to be much worse than what we've seen in the past. We're not talking about a few cities losing power, it could be half of the country, maybe more.”SolarStormWarning. com, a US website about space weather, warned.
Scientists say that little can be done to predict such a storm. Governments around the world are trying to work together before the next storm, although they are not sure when that may happen.
【1】According to the passage, a solar storm can cause many problems EXCEPT that________.
A.earthquakes happen B.mobile phones have no signals
C.people cannot get online D.the power may go out
【2】According to the passage, solar flares are________.
A.telecom networks B.solar storms
C.large explosions near the sun D.US websites
【3】From the passage, the right order of the following is________.
a. solar flares give off lots of energy
b. people can't get online with their computers
c. solar storms happen
d. satellite systems are stopped
A.abcd B.acdb
C.cabd D.cbad
【4】The writer wrote the passage mainly to________.
A.call for scientists to predict when the next solar storm will happen
B.tell people how to solve the problems caused by solar storms
C.introduce what solar storms are to people
D.ask people to work to prevent the solar storm
24、MONEY-SAVING TIPS FOR DISNEY WORLD
Every time you visit Disney World, there’s something new to see. The Magic Kingdom (王国) now includes the high-tech, movie-made Disney and Animal Kingdom. The park is becoming bigger, and you may need to spend more money, too. How can you save? I’ve been to the park more than 25 times with my kids, and I’ve found a few money-saving tips for you.
Eat out at Lunchtime: The prices at some of the nicer restaurants are much lower at noontime than at any other time. It’s clever to make reservations (预定) before you leave home. Call 407-W-DISNEY.
Become a Gold Card Member: With $65, you can get a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card (call 1-800-56-DISNEY). Cardholders get up to 20% off Disney hotel rooms, theme park tickets and things from Disney stores.
Don’t Pay Extra (额外) to See a Character: Character-theme dinner shows are expensive, costing a family of four about $140, and even a character breakfast can set you back $50. Try to meet the characters inside the theme parks and at free in-park shows.
Wait until the End of Your Trip to Buy Souvenirs: At that time, the kids will really know what they want, and you won’t waste money on expensive things.
【1】What is Animal Kingdom?
