AO. Henry was a pen name used by an American writer of short stories. His real name was William Sydney Porter. He was born in North Carolina in 1862. As a young boy he lived an exciting life.

He first worked on a newspaper, and then had a job in a bank, when some money went missing from the bank O. Henry was believed to have stolen it. Because of that, he was sent to prison. During the three years in prison, he learned to write short stories. After he got out of prison, he went to New York and continued writing.

Sweets and ice-cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat at the end of a meal. If we drink beer at meals, it may take away our appetite（胃口）. It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our body needs food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was a sign that he was not telling the truth. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish,it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry. Because he is worried, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.25. Why do we have to form good eating habits?A. Because we want to eat more.B. Because we enjoy our meal.C. Because we want to save time.D. Because we want to keep fit.26. When do you think it is good to eat sweets and ice-cream according to the passage?A. When we are happy.B. When we have a good appetite.C. After a meal.D. Before a meal.27. The underlined word“swallow” means______________.A. take into the stomach through the throatB. eat with difficultyC. break with the teeth before taking inD. drink like a fish28.

A taxi driver has to have not only good driving skills but also a good knowledge of the city of London, from the smallest lane(小巷) to the most popular bar(酒吧) around.

He said, “That‟s the wor st thing about working for yourself. If you don‟t make the money , no one is going to give it to you.”London taxi drivers not only …take‟ but also …give‟ , Every summer hundreds of children from London will go for a day at the sea--- by taxi!

I picked it up and opened it to see if I could find out the owner‟s name. There was nothing inside it except some change and an old photograph—— a picture of a woman and a young girl about twelve years old, who looked like the woman‟ s daughter. I put the photograph back and took the wallet to the police station, where I handed it to the desk sergeant. Before I left, the sergeant took down my name and address in case the owner might want to write and thank me.That evening I went to have dinner with my aunt and uncle .They had also invited a young woman so that there would be four people at the table .Her face was familiar. I was quite sure that we had not met before, but I could not remember where I had Seen her .In the course of conversation, however, the young woman happened to mention that she had lost her wallet that afternoon. All at once I realized where I had seen her. She was the young girl in the photograph, although she was now much older. She was very surprised, of course, when I was able to describe her wallet to her. Then I explained that I had recognized her from the photograph I had found in the wallet. My uncle insisted on going to the police station immediately to claim the wallet. As the police sergeant handed it over, he said that it was an amazing coincidence that I had not only found the wallet, but also the person who had lost it.32.
