Deep in the frest f sutheastern Mexic, scientists fund a surprise. They fund an ancient pyramid. There were clrful murals（壁画）in it. Thse murals are helping scientists learn abut peple living in ancient times.
The murals are abut 1,350 years ld. That’s mre than five times lder than the United States. The U.S.A is 245 years ld. Scientists say the paintings belnged t the Mayas, a grup f native American peple. They lived many years ag here—nw it is Mexic and Central America.
Scientists are excited abut the findings because they dn't knw much abut the Mayas’ daily life. The paintings shw hw the Mayas wrked, shpped and dined. One mural shws a man drinking frm a bwl. Anther shws a wman selling fd t a grup f peple.
“Usually the murals we get are abut gds and kings, never anything abut the daily life,” ne scientist said. “But this is like walking int a Maya market.” S far, scientists have fund mre than 30 murals in the pyramid.

(C)
Just the ther day, I was in a bkshp and fund a bk named Hw t make friends with freigners. As a Canadian living in China fr a year, I wanted t see the writer’s ideas n this.
One piece f advice really caught my eyes and, I must say, made me feel quite uncmfrtable. In the writer’s pinin, freigners are chances t imprve a freign language. Fr example, whenever yu see an American r English, yu shuld practice speaking English with him r her. If a freigner desn’t want t answer yur questins, he r she is a rude persn. And yu wuldn’t want t spend time with him r her anyway. I think the advice nt nly is wrng, but als may harm the relatinship between yu and freigners.
As a “La Wai” living in China, I knw hw lnely ne can smetimes feel when living in a different culture. Hwever, I have gt used t being here. S far my time in China has been rewarding. I have imprved my Chinese language skills, learned abut ne f the fastest develping cuntries in the wrld tday and made sme very clse Chinese friends.
Hwever, a few Chinese peple treat (对待) me nly as a chance t imprve their ral English. Sme f them fllwed me t ask me t teach them English. Sme f them gave me articles r speeches, telling me t turn them int English…
Friendship fr a lt f freigners is abut spending time with smene they really like. S if there is any advice t give n making and keeping friendship with freigners, I wuld say: Treat freigners as peple, nt chances. They want t develp friendship by caring fr and understanding each ther step by step, nt in a rush. If the nly reasn yu becme friends with a freigner is t imprve a new language, then yu will prbably find that yu dn’t have a freign friend fr lng.
33. Accrding t the bk Hw t make friends with freigners, ______.
A. it is rude t ask a freigner questins
B. it is rude t treat a freigner as a language-learning chance
C. it is a gd chance t practise English with a freigner
D. it is a waste f time t talk t a freigner

A. I find my life in China happy and useful
B. I dn’t like my stay in China
C. I’ve wasted s much time in China
D. I can’t cntrl my time while living in China
35. In Paragraph 4, the writer uses “Sme f them…” twice t shw ______.
A. his dislike f making friends with freigners
B. his dislike f being a chance fr practising English
C. he enjys helping peple with their English learning
D. he helped tw peple with their prblems
36. What’s the purpse f the passage?
A. T share his experience f making friends.
B. T discuss sme gd ways f learning English.
C. T intrduce a bk abut learning English with freigners.
D. T give advice n making friends with freigners.
(D)
Everybdy has a brain, but nt many peple knw hw the brain wrks. Sme peple believe that the brain is like the hard disk f a cmputer. We use it t keep infrmatin such as pictures, language (wrds, texts, sunds) and s n. Others cmpare the brain t a huge cupbard with lts f shelves and bxes in it. We put infrmatin int these bxes and hpe t find it again later.
The brain is nt a cmputer disk, and isn’t a cupbard, either. Lk at the picture here. It lks a bit like weeds（杂草）in a garden, desn’t it? The picture actually shws a child’s necrtex（皮层）---- a part f the brain that cntrls sight and hearing. Yu can guess what happens ---- mre “weeds” grw as the child gets lder. Scientists call these neurnal（神经元的）netwrks. The netwrks grw arund ur neurns. What makes them grw?

The mre neurnal netwrks we grw, the better we can think and the better we remember.

Just the ther day, I was in a bkshp and fund a bk named Hw t make friends with freigners. As a Canadian living in China fr a year, I wanted t see the writer’s ideas n this.
One piece f advice really caught my eyes and, I must say, made me feel quite uncmfrtable. In the writer’s pinin, freigners are chances t imprve a freign language. Fr example, whenever yu see an American r English, yu shuld practice speaking English with him r her. If a freigner desn’t want t answer yur questins, he r she is a rude persn. And yu wuldn’t want t spend time with him r her anyway. I think the advice nt nly is wrng, but als may harm the relatinship between yu and freigners.
As a “La Wai” living in China, I knw hw lnely ne can smetimes feel when living in a different culture. Hwever, I have gt used t being here. S far my time in China has been rewarding. I have imprved my Chinese language skills, learned abut ne f the fastest develping cuntries in the wrld tday and made sme very clse Chinese friends.
Hwever, a few Chinese peple treat (对待) me nly as a chance t imprve their ral English. Sme f them fllwed me t ask me t teach them English. Sme f them gave me articles r speeches, telling me t turn them int English…
Friendship fr a lt f freigners is abut spending time with smene they really like. S if there is any advice t give n making and keeping friendship with freigners, I wuld say: Treat freigners as peple, nt chances. They want t develp friendship by caring fr and understanding each ther step by step, nt in a rush. If the nly reasn yu becme friends with a freigner is t imprve a new language, then yu will prbably find that yu dn’t have a freign friend fr lng.

D. I can’t cntrl my time while living in China
