People say that Changsha is a busy city. For local people, the day often starts with a bowl of rice noodles.

Chen Xueyi, 48, owns his restaurant for 27 years. The restaurant is small, but it’s famous for its delicious rice noodles. Chen starts working at 4 a.m. every day and stays busy until the evening—making soup, preparing toppings (浇头), and cooking rice noodles.

To make delicious rice noodles, Chen uses pork bones to make the soup. Later, he puts spring onions, salt, soy sauce (酱油) and meat on rice noodles. If you like, you can also ask for green beans and chilies (辣椒) in the rice noodles.

The tasty dish brings in a large number of people every day. Now, Chen sells three to four hundred bowls of rice noodles a day. As well as local people, travelers now come to his restaurant too. “I’m happy to have more guests (客人), but I am too busy now, so it would be good to keep it a small restaurant,” Chen said with a big smile.

A museum for mustard (芥末)? Does it sound strange or funny to you? Now, let’s check it out! If you visit Wisconsin, you will never miss the Mustard Museum—the home of different kinds of mustard. It is a paradise for mustard lovers. They run into the museum to buy mustard they can never find outside the museum.

In a small town in Wisconsin, the Mustard Museum is open from 10 a.m.to 5 p.m. seven days a week, except (除了) for some festivals. Besides, the online shop never sleeps.

Why was the museum opened? Here comes an interesting story. The founder (创立者) of the museum, Barry Levenson, said it was because of the Boston Red Sox. After his favorite team lost a very important game, Barry walked sadly at a supermarket, looking for the meanings of life.

There was once a giant crab (巨蟹). He was so big that when he went into the sea, the water went onto the ground. When he came out of the sea, all the water went away from the ground. The animals who lived on the ground were tired of having too much water or too little water. These animals asked the Great Magician (魔术师) to help them.

“Please do something about the Giant Crab,” they said.

The Great Magician found the Giant Crab. “You think you are strong and important?” he said. “You make a lot of trouble.”

“It is not my fault,” said the Crab. “I have to leave my hole and go into the sea every morning to find food. Then I come back out of the sea at night and return to my hole to sleep.”

“It is not fair to the other animals.” the Great Magician said.

He then used his magic to take away the Giant Crab’s thick shell (厚壳).

“Give me back my thick shell,” the Giant Crab cried. “The birds and sharks will eat me now. I am not safe without my thick shell.”

“I will give you back your thick shell if you don’t make any trouble for everyone.” “But I must go into the sea for food every day,” the Giant Crab said.

The Great Magician knew he could not trust the Giant Crab. He said, “I will give you back your hard shell for eleven months of the year. On the twelfth month, you will lose your hard shell and be soft. Do you agree?”

The Giant Crab was not happy with this, but he said yes.

“And I will also make you much smaller so that every rock (岩石) and hole in the sea will be a safe place for you and your children. Now, the water will cover only part of the ground when you go into the sea. When you come out of the sea, the water will go away from the ground.”

The Great Magician did this, which is why there are now thousands of little crabs on the beaches of the world.

参考答案

1．B

【详解】句意：——你认为《热辣滚烫》这部电影令人兴奋吗？——是的，它告诉我们一个不同寻常的故事。

考查冠词。a不定冠词，表示泛指，用于以辅音音素开头的单词前；an不定冠词，表示泛指，用于以元音音素开头的单词前；the定冠词，表示特指。根据第一个空空后的“YOLO”可知，此处表示特指；根据第二个空所在句的句意可知，此处表示泛指的一个不同寻常的故事，空后的“unusual”是以元音音素开头的单词，所以此处应用an。故选B。
