七、(★★★★★)脑筋急转弯。
1. Why is the letter “e” so important? 为什么字母“e”如此重要？

2. Why are the letter “g” and the letter “s” in “gloves” close to each other?
为什么在单词“gloves”中字母“g”和字母“s”彼此之间靠得很近？

1. Because it's the beginning of everything!
2. Because there is "love" between them!

【分析】这是两道英语脑筋急转弯题，解题需运用英语单词的语义双关思维。第1题要抓住“everything”的首字母是“e”这一双关点；第2题需观察“gloves”中“g”和“s”之间的字母组成的单词，结合双关含义解答。
【解析】1. 脑筋急转弯的核心是双关，“everything”（一切）的首字母为“e”，因此“e”是“everything”的开头，故答案为该句；2. 在单词“gloves”里，字母“g”和“s”中间的字母是l、o、v、e，组成单词“love”（爱），双关表示它们之间有“love”，符合脑筋急转弯的趣味逻辑。
【答案】1. Because it's the beginning of everything! 2. Because there is "love" between them!
【知识点】英语脑筋急转弯、英语单词双关
【点评】本题为趣味英语题，通过双关的形式考察对英语词汇的灵活理解，打破常规解题思维，兼具趣味性和知识性。
