22、There is a very instructive incident involving the life of Alexander the Great, King of Greek. Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander realized his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence. So, he lay helplessly waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said, “I will depart from this world soon, and I have three wishes. Please carry them out without fail.”

“My first desire is that,” said Alexander, “My physicians alone must carry my coffin.” After a pause, he continued, “Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be spread with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected.” The king continued, “My third and last wish is that both my hands should be kept hanging out of my coffin.” Alexander’s favourite general kissed his hand and pressed it to his heart. “Oh, King, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us why do you make such strange wishes?”

Alexander took a deep breath and said, “I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learnt. I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can really cure any bodies. They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So let people not take life for granted.”

“The second wish of spreading gold, silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell people that not even a bit of gold will come with me. I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me. Let people realize that it is just a waste of time to chase wealth.”

“And about my third wish of having my hands hanging out of the coffin, I wish people to know that I came empty-handed into this world and empty-handed out of this world.” With these words, the King closed his eyes. Soon he let death conquer him and breathed his last.

23、   That little “a” with a circle around it that is found in e-mail addresses is most commonly referred to as the “at” symbol. Surprisingly though, there is no official, universal name for this sign. There are lots of strange terms to describe the @ symbol.

Before it became the fixed symbol for e-mail, the symbol was mostly used to represent the cost or weight of something. For instance, if you bought 6 apples, you might write it as 6 apples @ $1.11 each.

With the introduction of e-mail came the popularity of the @ symbol. The @ symbol separates a person’s online user name from his mail server address, for instance joe@uselessknowledge.com. Its widespread use on the Internet made it necessary to put this symbol on keyboards in countries that had never seen or used the symbol before. As a result, there is really no official name for this symbol.

The actual origin of the @ symbol remains unknown. History tells us that the @ symbol came from the tired hands of the monks(僧侣) in the Middle Ages. During the Middle Ages when there were no printing presses, every letter of a word had to be copied by hand for each copy of a published book. The monks that performed these long and boring copying duties looked for ways to reduce the number of strokes (笔划) per word for common words.

Although the word “at” is quite short, it was such a common word in texts and documents that monks in the Middle Ages thought it would be good idea to shorten the word “at” even more. As a result, the monks left out the “t” and created a circle — getting rid of two strokes.

【1】Before becoming a symbol for e-mail, the @ symbol was most commonly used ______.

A.when people referred to the cost or weight of something

B.to represent the word “at” in computer languages

C.to represent the word “at” on keyboards

D.when people wrote business documents

【2】Why did the @ symbol become popular?

A.Because it looked interesting.

B.Because e-mail appeared.

C.Because it was used by monks.

D.Because it was officially used in texts.

【3】We can know from the passage that in the Middle Ages ______.

A.monks were hard-working

B.the printing press was invented

C.the @ symbol was seldom seen in texts

D.the work of copying books needed to be done all by hand

【4】Monks in the Middle Ages replaced the word “at” with the @ symbol mainly to ______.

A.make the word look better

B.save their effort and time

C.keep some information secret

D.make it easier to understand

24、While jogging today, you twisted your ankle (扭伤脚踝) . It really hurts. You’ve heard that both heat and cold can help with pain. But which one should you use? The right form of treatment (治疗) differs depending on your type of injury and when it occurred.

In the case of a new injury, ice is the best form of treatment. Cold slows the blood flow to an injury, numbs the pain and reduces swelling(肿) .

◆ How to apply ice

Apply an ice pack (冰袋) within 48 hours after an injury occurs (发生). But first wrap (包，裹) the pack in a thin towel (毛巾), so the cold won’t damage your skin. Apply the pack for a maximum of 20 minutes at one time. Then take a 10-minute break at least before applying it again.

Cold is a good treatment for sprains (扭伤), bumps (撞伤), many sports injuries and much more.

◆ When to use heat

When a pain returns often or continues for a long time, heat is the answer. Neck pain and backache are often chronic (慢性的). The pain often results from using that body part too much or in the wrong way. Heat is also a great help to joint pains and sore muscles. Heat increases blood flow to the area and encourages healing. Heating pads, hot water bottles and hot baths are all ways to apply heat.

The next time you have pain or an injury, choosing the proper treatment should be much easier!

【1】According to the passage ________ can help with the pain when you have an injury.

A．heat

B．cold

C．ice

D．heat and cold

A．The neck pain occurs frequently (经常).

B．A sprain occurred three days ago.

C．A bump occurred last night.

D．The backache which usually occurs.

【3】You can apply an ice pack to the new injury again after ________.

A．48 hour

B．a 10-minute break

C．20 minutes

D．an hour

【4】Heat can be used to help all the following kinds of pain except (除了) ________.
