21、Are you surprised to see one or two twins in your class? What about 28 sets of them?
Andover High School in Minnesota, USA, has applied for (申请) the Guinness Book of World Records (吉尼斯世界纪录大全), because it has 28 sets of twins among its students.
“Having 28 sets of twins at any school is really uncommon,” said Dr. Nancy Segal, a twins researcher (研究者) at the University of Minnesota. “There is no good explanation (解释)…. Maybe their parents eat well.”
Peyton Zapzalka, one of the twin sisters, said the twin students had their own way of life. “We think nothing of finishing each other’s words,” she said.
Brent and Nathan Strong are another pair of twins. The brothers have already won something. They were given two tickets by a school to a twins game this year. Brent and Nathan will go to university on baseball scholarship (奖金)。
“Brent and Nathan’s Mom is our little sister’s fifth-grade teacher,” said Peyton Zapzalka. “We’re all connected (联系), one way or another.”
One example: the Zapzalkas were born on July 22, 1994—the same day their twin classmates Matt and Mike Schultz were born—in the same hospital.

Help in the garden
Where can you see some of the most beautiful gardens in the world? The UK!
Every spring, there is the Chelsea Flower Show in London. It is one of the most popular garden and flower shows in the world. People show off their creativity with trees and flowers.
But you don’t have to be an expert to garden. Anyone can do it. This is why in Britain helping with the gardening is popular with kids.
As a child my dad was the “master” of the garden. He often asked me to help him with the outdoor work. He would mow the lawn as I watered the trees and plants.

23、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?
A. A part of the Magic Kingdom. B. The Disneyland.
C. A place for eating. D. A kingdom with a Disneyland.
【2】If a Disney hotel room costs $400 a night,then a Gold Card Member needs to pay at least for a night.

24、 When we see babies or pets, we can’t help touching them gently to show our love. And they give happy feelings back to us. But a recent study shows that it’s different for plants.
A study in The Plants Journal shows that plants don’t like to be touched. That’s because touching changes their genes (基因), and even worse, it can slow their growth. Professor Jim Whelan in Australia gave an explanation. The lightest touch from a human, an animal, or even plants touching each other in the wild, causes a big gene change in the plant.
In order to test the idea, the scientists did an experiment ( 实验) on plants. They grew a number of plants to the age of four weeks. Then they touched them with a brush every 12 hours over a 36-hour period. They found that as a result of the touch, the mitochondria ( 线粒体) in the plants were partly broken. The mitochondria are the “power-house” of the cells (细胞). The mitochondria produce energy for the cells in both animals and plants. If this “power-house” is broken, the plants will lose lots of energy. The energy is very important for their growth. Whelan further explained, “If the touching is repeated, then the plant growth is slowed by 30 percent.”
Although the touching does have a strong influence (影响) on plants, usually the plants can still be alive. _________________________ Continually touching or moving plants will make them grow shorter than other ones. However, in some ways, this change could be helpful. It may help plants to fight against threats from animals or bad weather.
The findings of the research ( 研究) help us to have a better understanding of the plants. And the research might help with the growth of plants.
【1】The writer wrote this article in order to .
A.stop people from touching plants B.tell people to protect plants
C.introduce (介绍) a scientist to us D.explain a new finding about plants
【2】What does the underlined word “threats”mean according to the passage?
A.威胁 B.保护 C.援助 D.改变
【3】Which of the following statements may be the missing part in Paragraph 4 ?
A.Touching changes the plants, it makes them grow more slowly until they die.
B.Touching changes the plants, but it’s not always a bad change.
C.We should protect the plants from being touched by humans or animals.
D.Scientists don’t care that touching may have a strong influence on plants at all.
【4】Which of the following is wrong according to the passage?
A.Babies and pets liked to be touched.
B.The scientist did the experiment to test if touching can change the genes of plants.
C.The experiment lasted for four weeks.
D.Touching plants is not always bad for their growth.
