Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s. The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach(菠菜) to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.
Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.
People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.
Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach can not make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs---folic acid.
It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.
26.The best title for this reading passage is _______.
A. Popeye the Sailor B. The truth about spinach
C. A mistake with numbers D. Folic acid makes you strong
27. Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?
A. They thought spinach made them strong B. They thought Popeye was funny.
C. Spinach had a lot of iron. D. People liked folic acid
28. According to the research group, people thought that spinach ____.
A. made Popeye strong B. was a green vegetable
C. had less iron than other green vegetables D. had more iron than other green vegetables.

Once upon a time, a tortoise lived in a pond(池塘) with two ducks. She enjoyed being with them because she could talk as much as she liked.
After many years, the pond became very low in a dry season and finally it dried up. The two ducks decided to fly to another place. They went to say goodbye to the tortoise.
“Oh, don't leave me behind!” begged(恳求) the tortoise. “Take me with you. I must die if I am left here.”
“ ” said the ducks. “How can we take you with us?”
Finally, the ducks had a nice idea. They said, “We will each take hold of one end of a stick, and you take the middle in your mouth. Then we will fly up in the air and carry you with us. But remember not to talk! If you open your mouth, you'll be lost.”
The tortoise said she would not say a word.
When they were above the treetops, the tortoise wanted to say, “How high we are!” But she remembered what the ducks said and kept still. When they passed the church(教堂), she wanted to say, “What is that which shines?” But she remembered what the ducks said and held her peace. Then they came over the village square. Many people looked up and shouted, “Look! The ducks are carrying a tortoise!”
The tortoise forgot everything and said, “Hush, you silly people! It's none of your business.” She opened her mouth and fell to the ground. And that was the end of the tortoise.
