He did not go to school for very long, but he managed to teach himself everything he needed to know. When he was about 20 years old, O. Henry went to Texas, where he tried different jobs. He first worked on a newspaper, and then had a job in a bank, when some money went missing from the bank O. Henry was believed to have stolen it. Because of that, he was sent to prison. During the three years in prison, he learned to write short stories. After he got out of prison, he went to New York and continued writing.

Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would have sweets and ice-cream rather than eat meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat at the end of a meal. If we drink beer at meals, it may take away our appetite（胃口）. It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our body needs food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was a sign that he was not telling the truth. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry. Because he is worried, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.
25. Why do we have to form good eating habits?
A. Because we want to eat more.
B. Because we enjoy our meal.
C. Because we want to save time.
D. Because we want to keep fit.
26. When do you think it is good to eat sweets and ice-cream according to the passage?
A. When we are happy.
B. When we have a good appetite.
C. After a meal.
D. Before a meal.
27. The underlined word “swallow” means______________.
A. take into the stomach through the throat
B. eat with difficulty
C. break with the teeth before taking in
D. drink like a fish
28. When does the writer think it would be better to have our meal?
A. When our work is over.
B. At the fixed time every day.
C. When we feel happy.
D. When every family member is home.
