about twenty nine years old his master lost a great deal of money and was determined to sell his slaves. to do this, he had to take them to a large city where there was a slave market.the city was far away, and the slaves must walk the whole distance. a number of bundles(成捆的东西) were made up for them to carry. some of these bundles contained the things they would need on the road. choose your bundles, boys, said the master. there is one for each of you. aesop at once chose the largest one. the other slaves laughed and said he was foolish. but he threw it upon his shoulders and seemed well satisfied. the next day, the laugh was the other way. for the bundle which he had chosen had contained the food for the whole party. aesop is a wise fellow, said his master. the man who buys him must pay a high price.” a very rich man, whose name was xanthus, wanted a servant. as the slaves stood before him he asked each one to tell what kind of work he could do. all were eager to be bought by xanthus because they knew he would be a kind master. so each one boosted of his skill in doing some sort of labor. one was a fine gardener; another could take care of horses; a third was a good cook; a fourth could manage a household. and what can you do, aesop? asked xanthus. nothing, he answered. nothing? how is that? because, since these other slaves do everything, there is nothing left for me to perform, said aesop. this answer pleased the rich man so well that he bought aesop at once, and took him to his home on the island of samos. in samos the little slave soon became known for his

_.a. was known for his hard work.b. didnt like to work at all.c. was good at telling stories. d. was tired of his courage.bgoing on holiday not only makes you feel good while youre there - you gain the health benefits for months, new research shows. jetting off to exotic destinations such as the maldives cuts your blood pressure, helps you sleep better and bounce back from stress, it found. the

year - as many as one in three dont - to get the benefits.the study compared key health markers in holidaymakers visiting thailand, peru or the maldives, with people who stayed at home and continued working. the average blood pressure of those on holiday dropped by six percent while the workers saw their blood pressure rise by two percent over the same period. the sleep quality of holidaymakers improved by 17 percent while that of the non-holidaymakers deteriorated by 14 percent.the study also found the ability of vacationers to recover from stress - known as the stress-resilience test - improved by 29 percent. there was a 71 percent fall in stress resilience scores among workers. tests showed a fall in blood glucose levels, reducing the risk of diabetes, trimmer waistlines and enhanced mood and energy levels, with the effects sustained for at least two weeks after returning home. the holiday health experiment was conducted by tour operator kuoni and nuffield health, the uks largest healthcare charity.25. according to the passage, how many people go on holiday?a. one third.b. two thirds.c. 17 percent. d. a quarter.26. which of the following can we infer from the

holiday health experimentc. health problems of having holidayd. key health markers in holidaymakerscbox jellyfish （箱型水母）are the most poisonous marine animals known to man. they measure 3 meters long and weigh up to 2 kilograms. they are pale blue and transparent in color, and get their name from the cube-like shape of their body, box jellyfish have 6 eyes on all 4 sides of their body, although it is uncertain how they process what they see as they do not have a central nervous system. they also have up to 15 tentacles （触须）growing from each corner of their body that have about 5,000 stinging（带刺的）cells each.box jellyfish can be found primarily in the coastal waters off northern australia as well as throughout the indo-pacific. they prefer to live at river mouths. they do not have any organs to breathe, and will sleep on the ocean floor from 3 pm to dawn. unlike other jellyfish that merely move along with the current, box jellyfish have developed a way to travel wherever they want to go. they will shoot themselves in a jet-like fashion, reaching speeds of up to 7.4 kilometers per hour.the diet of box jellyfish consists of thing like fish, small animals, and even other jellyfish. they use their venom, a chemical which causes heart, skin, and breath failure, to kill their prey（猎物）. since box jellyfish have eyes, some scientists believe that they actively hunt their prey while others insist that they are just passive opportunists that will wait and catch anything that wanders into their tentacles.box jellyfish are responsible for more human deaths in australia than snakes, sharks, and salt-water crocodiles combined. it is best to avoid them as most stings(刺) will result in death. hopefully, humans and box jellyfish can find a way to live with one another while keeping conflicts to a bare minimum. after all, such a unique species of jellyfish deserves to live and grow just as humans do.29. what do we not know about box jellyfish from the first paragraph? a. its size. b. its hardness. c. its color. d. its poisonousness30. what can be learned about box jellyfish from paragraph 2?a. they live in the deep sea in groups b. they can breathe on
