16、 day, and my brother Walt and I had decided that the only way to survive it would be to go swimming in a deep swimming hole across Mr. Blickezs Pasture（牧场）and through some woods.The only problem with our plan was that this pasture was guarded by a huge, mean Hereford bull（公牛）. Mr. Blickez had told u

17、s that Elsie was the meanest bull in the town, maybe even in the county, and we believed him. But the hotter it got, the more we thought there was something fishy about his words. For one thing, we remembered Mr. Blickez liked telling tall tales; for anther, Elsie seemed like a strange name for a bu

18、ll.Finally, I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the pasture, but then another problem surfaced. Mom said she would talk to Mr. Blickez if we would take our cousin Joanie along with us. Joanie was almost two years older than me and a head taller. If her teasing ever got around

19、my grade school, it would be all over for me. In fact, I still had a headache from a quarrel with her that morning. “Im not going swimming with that silly girl cousin,” I told my mom.“Either Joanie goes with, or you stay home alone,” Mom said in her serious tone（语气）. I gave in and we set out. On you

20、r way across the pasture, Walt yelled suddenly. Elsie had approached him quietly and was licking（舔）his back. Joanie and I dove under the wire fence, but while I was on the ground I looked up and saw that Elsie wasnt a big mean bull after all. She was going to keep licking my brothers back as long as

21、 he stood still.We had many good days growing up and visiting our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called “big mean bull”. And as it turned out, for a girl cousin, Joanie hasnt been too bad. Shes been one of my best friends over the years.24. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “fishy” in

24、f visiting the swimming hole.C. How friendly the so-called “big mean bull” was.C. How the author changed his attitude to Joanie.CWe all know what a brain is. A doctor will tell you that the brain is the organ of the body in the head. It controls our bodys functions, movements, emotions and thoughts.

25、 But a brain can mean so much more.A brain can also simply be a smart person. If a person is called brainy, he is smart and intelligent. If a family has many children but one of them is super smart, you could say, “Hes the brains in the family.” And if you are the brains behind something, you are re

26、sponsible for developing or organizing something. For example, Bill Gates is the brains behind Microsoft.Brain trust is a group of experts who give advice. Word experts say the phrase “brain trust” became popular when Franklin D. Roosevelt first ran for president in 1932. Several professors gave him

27、 advice on social and political issues（问题）facing the U.S. These professors were called his “brain trust”.These ways we use the word “brain” all make sense. But other ways we use the word are not so easy to understand. For example, to understand the next brain expression, you first need to know the w

28、ord “drain”. As a verb, to drain means to remove something by letting it flew away. So a brain drain may sound like a disease where the brain flows out the ears.

29、f the country.However, if people are responsible for a great idea, you could say they brainstormed it. Here, brainstorm is not an act of weather. It is a process of thinking creatively about a complex topic. For example, business leaders may use brainstorming to create new products, and government l

30、eaders may brainstorm to solve problems.If people are brainwashed, it does not mean their brains are nice and clean. To brainwash means to make some accept new beliefs by using repeated pressure in a forceful or tricky way. Keep in mind that brainwash is never used in a positive way.28. According to
