One evening he heard a noise in his garden and looked out of the window.A white oxhad got into the garden and2his vegetables.Nasreddin at once took his stick,ran outand chased the ox,but heas too old to catch it.When he got back to his garden,hefound that the ox had ruined most of his precious vegetables.

3,while he4in the street near his house,he saw a cart with two white oxenwhich looked very much like the one that5his vegetables.He was carrying his stickwith him,6he at once began to beat the two oxen with it.As neither of them lookedmore like the ox that had eaten his vegetables than the other,he beat both of them equallyhard.

13.Passage ThreeMost students choose “Homestay” accommodation when they study abroad：others select Homestay even if they are not on a study visit．Statistics show that it’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time．But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular?Homestay means living with a family，or“host family”as we say．There are three ways of doing it：choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location：have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher；select not to have classes at all when you visit——a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example．Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements．Placement(安置)organizations think about location，interests，language level，eating requirements，allergies (过敏)and other requests you may have．Though prices vary according to your needs，good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical--and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city center．Even if you stay further out，you can expect your journey into the center not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money， it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practice English with your host family．This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible． But if you plan to learn English，why not have your English classes in your host family． There’s no better way to learn English than this—the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience !Homestay is an ideal choice for students who __________ .

16.Like any teenagers, the face of One Teen Story is changing fast. Just a year old, themonthlymagazine of short fiction for young people is getting a new editor-in-chief: Patrick Ryan ,47,the asso-ciate editor of Granta from 2009 to 2013. He left the London-based literary journal last month.Editing One Teen Story--the younger sibling(姐妹篇)of One Story magazine--will offer Ryanachance to reach a whole new audience. "It's really the only magazine for young adult shortfiction,"he says from his office in New York. "It's tremendously exciting that there are youngerpeople outthere who have subscriptions and look forward to getting these stories once a month.That form is usu-ally only presented when it's forced upon them in schools. "Designed for readers 14 and up, One Teen Story publishes nine issues a year. Like itssiblingmagazine, it doesn't carry photographs or advertising. It's just exactly what it says:one story per issue.Ryan says young people are "looking for engaging reads about people whom they can identifywith. It's not about having a message or positive spin (说教). It always starts on a character level,and it has to have an interesting story. If you look at the ' Twilight' characters and the ' HarryPotter' characters,they feel very contemporary. "Ryan also sees the magazine as a way to encourage talented authors. "I would love to make OneTeen Story the first publication for writers who then go on and keep at this business. I just really lovethe idea that this magazine would be the starting point for somebody--would be the push to make a talented writer feel that it was woah keeping at this.”Who is Patrick Ryan?
