"He made so sure of success, " said the father, "that he had celebrations of getting a city that he had never set foot in!" "Well, that was counting his chickens before they are hatched!" laughed the boy. "How sorry Napoleon must feel later whenever he thought of that medal! Have you got any more stories for me, father?"

Your body itself is an unusual machine. Lots of information has been written on the subject of"you". You might wonder about your body. Most people think that the whole picture of how your body systems work together is important to understand. Sometimes the details（细节）interest us the most. Let's go on the way to get a haircut. Why don't haircuts hurt? Cut, cut——the scissors fly around your head. Your hair grows from living cells（细胞）, but the hair that's cut is not alive. What's the story here? Each hair on your head grows from a root that is under your skin. The root produces hair cells in a follicle（毛囊）. When new hair cells are made at the root, they push older hair cells up the follicle. As older hair cells try to move out of your head, they change. They join together and become hard. Then they die. The strand of hair（发丝）that comes out of your head does not have living cells in it. That's why a haircut doesn't hurt! You probably have about 100, 000 hairs on your head right now. Hair grows all the time, then falls out and starts to grow again. It usually does this in different stages. That's why you don't lose all of your hair at once. In fact, your hair is just a part of all those magical things of your body. You might open your eyes wide while looking at any one of them. If you want to know more about them, keep reading. 23．What does the writer think of our body? A．Strong. B．Unusual. C．Beautiful. D．Healthy. 24．The underlined word"scissors" may be something like ____ . A． B． C． D． 25．What can we learn from the passage? A．Everyone has about 10, 000 hairs on his or her head. B．When older hair cells come out of the head, they become soft slowly. C．You won't lose all of your hair immediately because it keeps growing. D．A haircut doesn't hurt because the hair that comes out of your head have living cells. 26．What will the writer most probably talk about next? A．You will lose more hair than before as you grow older. B．How to protect your hair well is always important for you. C．You may like getting haircuts because they don't hurt at all. D．Sometimes your cough can end without the help of medicine. 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 It was 8:00 am. A group of college students got out of my car to make a video in the park. My job, as the driver, was to stay nearby so that if they need something I could open the car. I could have two or three hours' free time, so I decided to go somewhere and do some reading. I found a beautiful park bench（长椅）. I noticed that a man was sitting on one end, but there was plenty of room for more than two more bodies. Walking over, I sat on the end seat to have a rest. The man on the other end looked at me but didn't move. I quickly found that he might spend the night on the bench. His clothes were dirty, his hair was untidy, and soon I caught a bad smell of body sweat（汗水）. I looked at him and smiled, and he smiled back with blacked-out teeth. We both sat there for over an hour quietly. I was reading. He was watching the video making. He then stood up, walked in front of me and bowed. " ▲ " He said, in a little shaky but clear voice. I looked up at him. "For what?" I asked in surprise. He looked at the ground, "Usually people won't even look at me and I have to sit alone. Thank you for treating me as a man. " I really didn't know what to say as he turned and walked quickly around the corner. I couldn't believe all of these. I didn't do anything special. I just shared a bench. To me, he was just someone who wanted a place to rest. That's also what I wanted. We were no different. I finally got to know that my actions truly meant something to this poor homeless man.
