Two traveling angels (天使) stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied “Things aren’t always what they seem.”

The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor but very hospitable (好客的) farmer. After sharing what little food they had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.

The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How could this happen?” “Why didn’t you watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,” she accuse（指责）. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.”

“Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal（封口）the wall so he couldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.”

21. Why did the older angel repair the hole for the rich family?

A. Because she didn’t like the greedy owner.

B. Because she wanted to save the gold for the poor.

C. Because the basement was too cold to stay in.

D. Because she believed that one should always be ready to offer help.

22. In paragraph two, the pair refers to _____________.

A. the rich couple B. the angels C. the guests D. the poor couple

Recent studies have shown that exercise is good to both your physical strength and brain. A new study finds that people become smarter after starting a running program.

In their study, the researchers had seven young people start a running program consisting of running 30 minutes, two or three times a week for at least 12 skills before and after the 3-month running program.

After 12 weeks of running, scores on all of the tests increased greatly in the runners, as did their reaction times(反应时间) in completing the tests, but the scores began to fall again if the runners stopped their training.

The results could have suggestions for old people as well. According to these researchers, old people who started a 4-month exercise program also showed it may help doctors find a way to use exercise and running to help old people and those with Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆症) disease improve their memory and other mental skills.

The Peales were a famous family of American artists. Charles Wilson Peale is best remembered for his portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution. He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington. His life-size portrait was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture.

Charles Wilson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum，which he founded in Philadelphia. The world's first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings. Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more real. The museum's most popular display was the skeleton (骷髅) of a huge，extinct elephant，which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801.

Three of Peale's seventeen children were also famous artists. Paphaelle Peale often painted still lives of flowers，fruit，and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many famous people，including one of George Washington. Another brother，Rubens Peale，painted mostly landscapes and portraits.

James Peale，the brother of Charles Wilson Peale，specialized in miniatures (小画像)．His daughter Sarah Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America.

32．What is the main topic of the passage?

A．Th
