24、   Sometimes, when you worry that you may fail an exam, you end up failing. Or during a seating arrangement (安排) in your class, when you are afraid to sit next to someone you don’t like, you end up sharing the desk with him or her.

This is what Murphy’s Law tells us: If things can go wrong, they will go wrong. But is it true?

Of the studies about Murphy’s Law, the most famous one is the buttered toast (烤面包片) phenomenon (现象): One toast with butter falls; it lands butter-side down most of the time.

To prove this, Robert Matthews did a lot of experiments with more than 1,000 British school kids in 2001.

In the first experiment, each student put a piece of buttered toast on a plate, let it fall off 20 times and noted which side it landed on. Of almost 10,000 experiments, toast landed butter-side down 62 percent of the time.

But you may ask: Is it the butter that plays a role? Here comes Matthews’ second experiment.

This time, instead of butter, the toast had a letter “B” written on one side. It still landed 58 percent of the time on the B-side.

This proved that Murphy’s Law is true: If the toast can land butter-side down, it will do so. Matthews did another experiment. When students threw the toast from a height of 2.5 metres, the toast landed butter-side down only 47 percent of the time.

“Toast lands butter-side down because humans aren’t tall enough to let it land any other way,” Matthews said.

根据上文内容判断正(T)误(F)

【1】According to Murphy’s Law, in an English class, if you don’t want to be questioned by the teacher, you may end up failing to answer the questions.

【2】In the first experiment of buttered toast, we know the toast landed butter-side down about 620 times.

【3】If the toast can land butter-side down, Murphy’s Law is true.

【4】In the first two experiments, either the butter or the letter “B” plays a role.

【5】The passage is mainly talking about Murphy’s Law depending on people’s mental states (心理状态).

25、Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）

I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of it. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.

I never saw mum angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me, she showed in action. But as a young girl, I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.

They never happened. I was "too emotional（情绪化的）". But she lived "on the surface". As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know that she did forgive me.

My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and finally, peace—it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to change her.

Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for any sister and brother.

"But the desk," she said again, "is for Elizabeth."

The present of her desk told me that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. It was my letter.

27、

John and James were best friends. They fought for many reasons, but never gave up their friendship. They visited many places in their travels. They passed through various villages, towns, and forests. They supported each other throughout the journey.

One day, they reached a desert. They had very little food and water. John said that they should save the food and water for later use. However, James disagreed. He wanted to drink water, as he was very thirsty. They had an argument with each other for the water. John slapped (掌掴) James, and they walked in silence. James felt hurt and wrote on the sand, "My best friend slapped me!"

Finally, they saw an oasis (绿洲). They were very happy, and had a lot of fun in the water. While they were both taking baths, James was a little careless and nearly drowned himself. John rushed to him and saved him. James hugged his friend and thanked him. They had a rest and decided to leave the place. When they were about  to leave, James carved (刻) something on a rock. It was "My best friend saved my life!"

He said to John, "When you slapped me, I recorded it on the sand. The wind would have blown it away by now. However, when you saved my life, I recorded it on the rock. It will remain there forever." We have to forget the bad things and cherish the good things that are done to us.

28、Liyuan Library

Liyuan Library (篱苑书屋), known as one of China's most beautiful bookstores, is located in a small hillside village near Beijing.

The project, designed by architect Li Xiaodong, was built with 40,000 wooden sticks. In the village, Li found large amounts of wooden sticks piled around each house. The villagers gather these sticks all year round to fuel their cooking stoves (炉子). Thus they decided to use this o【1】 material in a special way.

“This project is about the relationship of a building to the surroundings and i【2】 role (角色) in serving the community (社区), rather than a building as an individual object,” Li told the visitors.

In the two-and-a –half years of the operation, Liyuan Library has experienced unexpected levels of use and appreciation. A new bus s【3】 has opened close by for the frequent visits by thousands of people, including local villagers, tourists from the Beijing urban area, and many international visitors as well.

“Everybody is f【4】 to visit,” explained Li. “However, visitors are encouraged to bring two books to the library, and take one back home from the collection in order to keep the place a center of k【5】 exchange.”

Instead of adding a new building in the village, they chose this site in the nearby mountains, a pleasant five-minute walk from the village center. In doing so, they could p【6】 a place for clear thoughts when one takes the effort to head for the reading room.

Li described his practice in the following way: “We try to m【7】 technology, community, local materials, modern thinking and a traditional sense of identity together.”
