21、

Mr. and Mrs. March lived together with their four daughters. Amy was very shy. Beth loved being at home. Meg looked very pretty. Jo was tall and thin and she was a tomboy. Their home was always busy and full of noise and people. Next to them lived old Mr. Laurence and his grandson, Laurie. They lived in a very large and comfortable house. But it was a house without life.

One day, Joe saw Laurie standing at an upstairs window in his house and looking down at their garden. Jo’s sisters were playing in the snow there. They were throwing snowballs and having a lot of fun. But Laurie’s face was very sad.

“Poor boy!” Jo thought. “He’s all alone. He needs some friends.” She couldn’t stop thinking about him. She wanted to go and see him, but how could she go to the house without an invitation?

Then one snowy afternoon, she saw Laurie’s grandpa go out. This gave her an idea. She took a broom from the kitchen.

“What are you going to do, Jo?” asked her sister Meg.

“To clear the garden path.” answered Jo.

When Laurie saw Jo from the window, a big smile changed his pale, sad face.

Jo laughed and shouted, “How are you? Are you ill?”

Laurie opened the window and said, “I’m better now, thank you. I had a bad cold and had to stay inside for a week”.

“I’m sorry,” said Jo. “Are you bored?”

“Yes, very.” he replied.

“Don’t your friends come to visit you?”

“No. But I don’t want to see anybody. Boys are noisy and they give me a headache.”

“Girls are quiet.”

“I don’t know any girls.”

“You know us.”

“That’s true! Can you come and visit me?” cried Laurie.

“I’m not quiet, but I’d like to come,” replied Jo. “I must ask Mother first.” She ran back into her house.

A few minutes later, she returned and rang the bell on the door of laurie’s house. A servant took her upstairs.

“Here I am!” she said brightly. “Mother sends her love and my sisters gave me this blancmange（牛奶冻）for you.”

“That looks yummy,” Laurie said. He was very happy to see Jo.

Jo looked around. There were lots of books on the shelves.

“A nice room!” she said. “I can read to you if you like.”

“No, let’s talk,” replied Laurie.

“All right.” said Jo, “I can talk for hours. My sisters say I never know when to stop.”

“You have three sisters-Amy, Beth and Meg.”Laurie continued.

“How do you know this?” Jo was surprised.

“You call each other’s names when you are in the garden. Sometimes I can see you all around the table with your mother. She has a very kind face. I like looking at her. I haven’t got a mother.” Jo felt sad when she heard this.

“Why don’t you come and visit us?” she said, “It isn’t good for you to stay in this house all the time.”

“Thank you. I’d like to come very much.” said Laurie.

“We know all our neighbours except you.” Jo said, “I’m glad we’ re friends now.”

She told him about all the interesting things in her life. She said, “Besides plays, I also love books.” Laurie loved books too, and offered to show her the library in the house. The library was a wonderful room. Jo loved it.

“Wow!” she said, “All those books!”

Laurie said, “A person needs more than books.”

Just then the bell rang and a servant came in....

22、John and Sam were friends. They opened a small shop in a small village. One day, they sold out all their wine(酒), so they drove to the city to buy some.

On their way home, the wind was strong and it was getting colder and colder. Both John and Sam wanted to drink some wine to keep warm, but they had a rule. They couldn’t drink any wine because they had to sell it. Because of the rule, if someone wanted to drink some wine, he had to pay the other twice the price.

John was a clever man. He took out ten cents and gave it to Sam. He said, “Here is ten cents. Would you please sell me some of your wine?” Sam was a businessman(商人), so he said, “You give me money, so of course I will sell some to you.” Then he passed John a cup of wine.

After drinking the wine, John felt warm soon, but Sam was still cold. Then he took out the ten cents that John just gave him and said to John, “Here is ten cents. Please sell me some of your wine.” John agreed. Sam drank some wine and also felt much warmer.

24、Maybe nothing tastes as delicious and refreshing (凉爽的) as a cold, juicy, round watermelon on a hot summer day. No wonder this healthy fruit has been enjoyed by humans for thousands of years. But how about trying square watermelons instead of round ones? Sounds fascinating, doesn’t it?

If you have been paying attention to all the exciting news lately, then surely you have seen all the wonderful shapes that watermelons come in these days. There are watermelons that look like Egyptian pyramids, there are special heart shaped watermelons for Valentine’s Day and of course, there are all kinds of round shapes. But did you know that it all started with square watermelons?

Recently, farmers in the southern Japanese town have discovered a technique to grow their watermelons in a square shape. The reason why they’re doing this in Japan is that there is not enough space in refrigerators. They are trying to make watermelons “refrigerator-friendly”.

A round watermelon can take up a lot of room in a refrigerator, and the usual round fruit often sits awkwardly (笨拙地) on refrigerator shelves. Smart Japanese farmers have forced their watermelons to grow into a square shape by putting the watermelon into square, glass cases while the fruit is still growing on the vine (藤). The new kind of square watermelons are so easy to store. You can just stack them up, which means more of them will fit in a container. This save a lot of space and also money on shipping. Also, people can now fit them better in their tiny refrigerators at home and can start buying bigger watermelons.

But these square watermelons come with a high price. Regular watermelons in Japan cost from $15 to $25 each, while each square watermelon costs about $82. Being quite expensive, these watermelons will certainly not be bought by the general public. Maybe people will give them as gifts! But it is also said that there does appear to be a growing U.S. market for watermelons that are more refrigerator-friendly. The industry is seeking for opinions from consumers who do mind size.

25、Early in the morning, at noon, or in the evening you can see Americans running. Men and women, young and old run e【1】— along the beaches of California, through Central Park in New York, down quiet streets in small towns or at the gym. Some people even run in their living  r【2】.

Running wasn’t so p【3】 in the past. In the 1960s, runners were mostly athletes (运动员) and healthy, strong people. When people saw a runner, they used to ask, “Hey, what’s the hurry?” or they might say to themselves, “Is he c【4】?” At that time, women almost n【5】 ran. If they did, they might be laughed at. But today all these attitudes (态度) have c【6】. Men and women of all ages enjoy running.

Doctors say many of the health  p【7】 in the United States come from these bad habits: eating too much, smoking cigarettes, and doing  l【8】 exercise. Doctors tell us, “Eat less, don’t smoke, and exercise m【9】.” Running is a good exercise b【10】 it helps build a strong heart and lungs. It also helps most people lose weight.
