Once there were two brothers. Nolbu, the older one, was rich and greedy(贪婪的), Hyungbu, the younger brother, was poor and generous.
One day when Hyungbu's seven children were hungry, he went to ask his brother for rice to feed them. But when his sister－in－law(嫂子) saw Hyungbu, she did not want to give him any rice. Instead she hit him on the cheek with the rice spoon. Hyungbu was so hungry that he ate the little bit of rice on his face. Then he turned the other cheek and told her to hit him again. This time she hit him with a clean spoon.
On his way home, Hyungbu found a swallow whose leg was broken. He took care of it until it was well, and then let it fly away.
When spring came, the swallow brought Hyungbu a gourd seed(葫芦籽) to plant. In the fall, after he harvested the gourds, Hyungbu opened one of them. Gold coins poured out! He became a rich man.
Nolbu was jealous(嫉妒的) because his younger brother now had a big house with a beautiful garden. He wanted to know how Hyungbu became so rich. So Hyungbu told him exactly what had happened. On the way home from Hyungbu's house, Nolbu found a swallow. He broke its leg, and then cared for it. After it got better, he let it fly away. The following year, the swallow brought him a gourd seed, Nolbu did just what Hyungbu had done.

Can plants talk Modern research has found something amazing: they do communicate with each other.
It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals to communicate with each other. This happens when a plant gets attacked (袭击) by insects. The plant gives out chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning or a call for help, "I m being attacked!" When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract the wasps (黄蜂)! The wasps kill the insects that are eating the plants. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system (系统) so that we can use it to grow more crops.
More surprisingly, plants also use sound to communicate. People can t hear these sounds. Some plants make noises with their roots. Corn and chili plants do this. Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water.
Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system the "wood wide web". The wood wide web is linked underground by fungi (霉菌). They link the roots of different plants to each other. It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use. Using the wood wide web, plants can share information and even food with each other. However, it may lead to bad effects. Plants may use it to steal food from each other, or spread chemicals to attack other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to create a "firewall" to help stop these attacks within the wood wide web.
Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other. Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to "talk" with them ourselves.
36.What do plants do when they are attacked by insects
A. They kill the insects by themselves.
B. They send messages to ask for help.
C. They control the wasps to kill the insects.
D. They produce chemicals as a warning or a call for help.
37.How is the wood wide web linked by fungi
A. By making noises with their roots.
B. By spreading chemicals to each other.
C. By sharing food and information with each other.
D. By connecting the roots of different plants to each other.
38.What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To give people hope for further studies.
B. To advise people to communicate with plants.
C. To call on people to protect the plants on Earth.
D. To thank scientists for their great achievements.
39.What would be the best structure of the passage
A. B. C. D.
40.What is the best title for the passage
A. The Plants that Give Warnings.
B. The Secret Language of Plants.
C. The Research Scientists Do About Plants.
D. The Study About the Plant Warning System.

People may have some unclear memories of their childhood，but almost everyone will remember the beautiful princess and the cruel queen in "Snow White"，the innocent （无辜的） little girl and the greedy big gray wolf in "Little Red Riding Hood".（41）　 　 For example， "True love can overcome anything"，and "Even a frog can turn into a prince".However，at a certain age，we start to learn new things about life，particularly that love doesn't always win，and that a frog is just a frog.
（42）　 　 Just look at animated films like "The Lion King" and "Frozen"，which have millions of fans young and old.And this year's Lucerne Festival in Switzerland—a classical music festival—will also feature the themes of "Childhood" and "Fairy tales".
"Fairy tales endure because they are the stories of our lives in their most stripped down form，" wrote US author Laura Packer. "They are stories of love and loss，desire and death，riches and ruin."（43）　 　 But if children only see just one side of reality，adults usually see the other.For example，in the movie "Maleficent"，we're told the tale of Sleeping Beauty from the perspective of the evil （邪恶的） queen.（44）　 　 Instead，she suffers great losses growing up，leading to the creation of her "evil" side.And in US author James Finn Gamer's book "Politically Correct Bedtime Stories"，he tells the classic story of "Little Red Riding Hood"，but with a modern touch.
（45）　 　 They may usually start with "Once upon a time" but as we grow older，we learn that every story doesn't always need a "happily ever after" to be a good one.
A.Fairy tales are usually about reality （现实）.
B.But somehow，our love for fairy tales never dies.
C.Most of us get our earliest life lessons from fairy tales.
D.The theme of a fairy tale is to teach people courage and kindness.
E.Fairy tales have been adapted （改编） into versions （版本） for children.
F.It looks like fairy tales aren't just stories our parents read to us at bedtime.
G.Unlike the children's version （视角） of the story，we see that the queen wasn't born this way.
