21、My nephew Sam was the only child of the family. His parents proudly showed him off; his aunts and uncles tried to be the first to hold him. But later things changed.
Due to the need of my job, my family lived with Sam’s family for a short time. By this time, my daughter Sophie was almost 3, and was a remarkably intelligent little girl. She could sing children’s songs and recite little poems. Sophie’s aunts and uncles were fascinated by her sweetness. Sam, who was seven, had to tolerate this new little human, but wasn’t quick to give away his high position.
Sophie’s third birthday was about to be celebrated, and the family had gathered presents. We were all busy getting the party ready when we heard the sharp cry from Sophie. Instantly, a half dozen adults moved as one and found Sophie sitting on the ground crying. She might have fallen off the seat of her well-decorated chair. We picked her up, comforted her and dried her tears. Finally, she settled like a queen on the royal throne of the birthday girl.
Nine years later, we went camping. Around the campfire, Sam spoke. He spoke of the agony he had been feeling for almost a decade. With a deep sigh, he shared his secret. During Sophie’s 3-year-old birthday, a fire of jealousy came from the proud and depressive guy when his position had been taken away by Sophie. He had waited for his moment. And then it came as Sophie was going to sit on her birthday chair. How he delighted in hearing the sound of his competitor hitting on the floor and crying. Sam really apologized then; his voice was soft and sincere.
Though Sam was seven, he was old enough to feel jealous of his cousin and played his hoax.
As he grew older, he realized his mistake, and eventually apologized and laid his burden down.

24、You can tell the man sitting next to you in the movie theater is a smoker, you can smell it on his clothes. But since he's not lighting up and smoking your way, it's OK, right? Not at all. A new study out of Yale University says thirdhand smoke is also dangerous.
Thirdhand “smoke” isn't actually smoke at all. It's the tobacco contaminants (烟草污染物) that stick to walls, bedding, carpet and even a smoker's body and clothes.
Science has known about the environmental pollution caused by smoking for years, leading to the creation of smoking and non-smoking rooms at hotels, restaurants and the like. But thirdhand smoke has also been found in environments that were not known to be polluted by smokers, leading researchers to ask how that could happen.
To find out, Professor Gentner and his students set up an experiment in a movie theater that had not allowed smoking for more than 15 years. They supplied fresh air into the theater, making sure no smoking or other pollutants entered it. Special equipment measured the elements in the air before and after moviegoers arrived.
The team saw a sharp increase in levels of dangerous chemicals. As people came into the theater, the concentrations (浓度) went up, and then dropped over time. But they didn't completely disappear after the audience left. In many cases, the lasting pollution was noticeable the following day in the empty theater. Pollution happened where smoking had never occurred. Even more worrying: the harm of it could equal that of smoking 10 cigarettes by the end of the movie.
“If future research has the same findings on thirdhand smoke, it means that smokers could potentially still do harm even if the act of smoking took place in a different space.” said Narula, a doctor who was not involved in the research. “And the only way to be free from thirdhand smoke is nothing short of banning (禁止) smoking everywhere.”
【1】What do we know about thirdhand smoke?
A.It is the main factor of environmental pollution.
B.It causes much less harm than smoking cigarettes.
C.It's the remains of harmful chemicals from smoking.
D.It does not occur in an environment without smokers.
【2】What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4?
A.Add some background information.
B.Introduce the procedure of the experiment.
C.Provide some research data for the readers.
D.Make a summary of the previous paragraph.
【3】What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.Concentrations.
B.People.
C.Levels.
D.Dangerous chemicals.
【4】What can we infer from what Narula said?
A.Smokers should keep away from non-smokers.
B.The harm of thirhand smoke remains to be proved.
C.Future research will hardly produce the same result.
D.There is no way to remove the harm of thirdhand smoke.

26、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
The excitement about Thanksgiving was really building. Grandma arrived with a homemade pecan pie. Dad was searching for his electric carving knife. Mama was in the kitchen humming a song. Little baby Lonnie bounced up and down. Dad smelled the air and sighed. My big brother, Slim, who was anything but slim, sneaked off to his room with a slice of the pecan pie. Even our dog Fido was wagging his tail.
Having set a pretty table, Mama looked up, smiling. “Help me carry in the food,” she said. Slim, who had come out of his room by this time, went racing into the kitchen. " I'll get it! I'll get it!” The rest of us piled in behind him, everyone grabbing a dish. Then we watched Dad carry in the biggest, brownest, best-smelling turkey we had ever seen with Mama's hand under the plate, just in case. Together they lowered the turkey to its place at the table.
It was the tradition in our family to think of something for which we were most thankful. We all ran to the table yelling something like “I'm thankful for school being out” or “I'm thankful for pecan pie!” All eyes were on that enormous turkey as we took our seats.
Yes, everything was perfect except for one thing. On that special day, it was Dad who sat at the head of the table and carved the turkey. It was an honor that he had eagerly expected for days. Mama always called Dad a clumsy ox. He frequently tripped (绊倒) over his own two feet, and he could drop just about anything.
We automatically eased back when Dad tested the electric carving knife in the air. Dad went to work on the white meat first with surprisingly few problems. Slice after slice landed neatly on the plate with thick gravy (肉汁)。Dad leaned forward and grabbed the end of the left turkey leg and cut it off, placing it whole on the plate. His oily fingers shone brightly in the light of the chandelier (大吊灯),and Mama waved her napkin. “I'm all right, Mama,” he said. “I'm all right. ”
