25、 When you use crayons, you can color things any way you want. Life wasn’t always so colorful, though. A hundred years ago, all crayons were black. They were used in factories and shipyards. Kids couldn’t use them because they were toxic.
Then a company called Binney&Smith had an idea. They decided to make Crayola crayons for kids and teachers to use in schools. They figured out a formula (配方) that was safe, and they also decided to add colors. The first box of eight Crayola crayons included black, brown, blue, red, purple, orange, yellow and green. The box cost five cents. The crayons were a huge hit!
Today, many companies make crayons, but Crayola is still the biggest. They take crayons very seriously especially their colors. For example, Crayola has a team of seven chemists and chemical engineers who do nothing all day but develop new crayon colors. Their laboratory adds the unique (独一无二的), secret formula (秘方) to every crayon color. They blend different colors to come up with new shades (色度). Once the engineers discover a new color they like, they test it on hundreds of kids and parents to make sure it’s really useful. Only then is a crayon ready for the box.
Then comes the hard part—figuring out what to name a new color. In 1993, Crayola introduced 16 new colors for its “Big Box” of 96 crayons. More than two million kids and adults wrote in to advise on the names of the colors, such as bright pink, gray, purple, bright green, light green, and light pink. Over the years, Crayola has changed the names of some colors. Around the globe, kids still say that red and blue are their favorite crayon colors.

26、I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of is mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I thought that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother."But the desk," she said again "is for Elizabeth."
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it action. But as a young girl. I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was "too emotional (易动感的)". 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 in any way she chose 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 make her into someone she was not.
But the present of her desk told me, as she'd never been able to, 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.
"In any way you choose, mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words."

27、Old Dawson had the best apples in town, but kids knew they mustn’t go into his yard to pick a delicious apple, even off the ground, because Dawson, a badtempered (坏脾气的) man, they said, would come after you with his gun.
One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy. They had to walk by Dawson’s house on the way to Amy’s house. Like most of the children, Janet was scared of the old man because of the stories she’d heard about him.
Amy said that Mr. Dawson wouldn’t hurt anyone. Still, Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man’s house. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown (皱眉), but when he saw it was Amy, a big smile changed his whole face as he said, “Hello, Miss Amy. I see you’ve got a little friend with you today.”
Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight and they were going to listen to music and play games. Dawson told them that sounded fun, and offered them each a fresh picked apple off his tree.
As they walked on, Janet asked Amy, “Everyone says he’s the meanest man in town. Why was he so nice to us?”
Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house, he wasn’t very friendly and she was afraid of him, but she always smiled at him. It took a while, but one day he half smiled back at her.
After some more time, he started smiling real smiles and then started talking to her. Just a “Hello” at first, then more. She said he always offers her an apple now, and is always very kind.
