When they reach the Land f the Lst, where the her must g t rescue his mst belved ty, my earrings are angry that they aren't treated with the respect they think they deserve. They sn find ut that being made f diamnds cunts fr very little in the strange wrld where human-made bjects g when lst, because a thing's imprtance there depends n hw much it's truly lved.
The Christmas Pig explres a deep attachment t an ld bject. It's abut the jurney f a by, Jack, wh is a little lst himself but discvers his bravery and ability t lve in a strange wrld. Of all the bks I've written, this is the ne that made me cry the mst, because I was dealing with emtins that run deep in all f us Lss and change are hard fr children, and acceptance f these unavidable parts f life isn't much easier fr adults. The Christmas Pig shws hw human beings-even small, lst nes-are capable f wnderful, heric acts.
A very strange thing happened n the day I finished editing The Christmas Pig. After emailing the final versin t my editr, I set abut clearing ut a cupbard. The last bject I picked up was a small bx. I pened it. There were my lng-lst diamnd earrings. I've decided t sell them and give the mney t a charity. I think it will be a nice ending fr my earrings' stry t have them d sme gd fr children in the Land f the Living.

Sme termite (白蚁) species have figured ut hw t enjy the shelter f the huge cmplex nests that the insects build withut cntributing t their cnstructin. They avid the full anger f their builder hsts by being extremely easy-ging.
Animals that live in the nests f anther species withut affecting them are knwn as inquilines. Inquiline termites are unique amng termites in being unable t make their wn nests. Instead, they live in the hallways built by anther termite, Cnstricttermes cyphergaster. Until nw, it has been unclear hw the tw parties kept peaceful in such tight quarters because termites are typically very aggressive twards utsiders.
Helder Hug at the University f Knstanz in Germany and his clleagues cllected Cnstricttermes cyphergaster's nests in the Brazilian Cerrad and brught them int the labratry. They then placed hst and tenant (房客) termitcs in cither pen r narrw areas and used vide t track and recrd the ways in which the tw species reacted t each ther.
Right frm the start, the inquiline' termites mved arund less than their hsts and interacted little with them, even in the much narrwer area. "Many times,” says Hug, "when tw unrelated grups are put tgether in a limited space--such as an experimental area--the utcme is cnflict with lsses frm bth sides." But that didn't happen here. Despite attacks frm hst termites, the tenant termites were bedient. Hsts wuld bite r attack the inquilines with strng chemicals, but their targets never respnded in the same way, chsing t flee. Sme ignred the hsts cmpletely.
“We did nt expect that they wuld never fight back,” says Hug, nting that the inquilines are capable f prtecting their wn place with muths. “By preventing cnflict ging wrse, inquiline termites may cnsiderably imprve their chances f living tgether with their hst termites peacefully.”
“Passiveness des nt necessarily lead t defeat, but can be a very useful strategy, saving energy and resurces,” she adds. “Nature may nt always be red in tth and claw, and aggressin is nt any mre successful a strategy than ‘cwardice’ (儒弱).”
28. What is the feature f the inquiline termites?
A. They live in anther termite species' nests.B. They are aggressive twards utsiders.
C. They like t build their wn nests.D. They are cmmunicative tenants.
29. What d yu learn abut the experiment in paragraph 3?
A. The differences between the tw species.B. The findings f the bservatin.
C. The living habits f termites.D. The prcess f the research.
30. What des Hug think f the inquiline termites' living strategy?
A. Aggressive.B. Unacceptable.\C. Effective.D. Dangerus.
31. What's the best title fr the text?
A. The Characteristics f Termites
B. Passiveness Desn't Necessarily Lead t Defeat
C. The Relatinship Between Hst and Tenant Termites
D. Termites Use Cwardice t Avid Their Hsts' Anger
D
Mst f us wuld like t be mre creative, but we assume there is little we can d abut it. Psychlgy prfessr K. Anders Ericssn claims that with enugh practice, any f us can becme experts. Hwever, he is quick t add that this requires a specific kind f practice that Ericssn calls ‘deliberate practice': that is, pushing beynd ne's cmfrt zne and setting gals that are abve ne's current level f perfrmance. He says he has yet t find the limits n being successful and he desn't believe them t be real.
Ericssn has lked primarily at artistic and athletic skills, but can these findings apply t creativity? Mst experts agree that even if mst peple cannt hpe t becme creative geniuses, they can learn t becme mre creative thrugh practice. Psychlgists claim that there are actually tw levels f creativity, which they refer t as ‘Big C’ and ‘small c’. Big C creativity applies t breakthrugh ideas, nes that may change the curse f a field r even histry. Small c creativity refers t everyday creative prblem slving, like creating a new recipe r imprving a prcess, which psychlgists subdivide further int similar and different thinking. Similar thinking invlves examining all the facts and arriving at a single slutin. In cntrast, different thinking invlves cming up with many pssible slutins. What mst peple think f as creativity generally invlves different thinking and can be taught, practised and learnt.
Even with practice, different thinking alne cannt make ne creative, hwever. Sctt Barry Kaufman, a cgnitive psychlgist, says that mst creative peple share ne persnality quality: penness t new experience. Since this quality and these prcesses have been identified, less creative peple can try t emulate them. Nrmally, we tend t reprduce what we already knw because creative ideas mve us int unfamiliar territry invlving risks and fllwing the usual behavirs is cmfrtable.
Mving utside f ur cmfrt zne, engaging indeliberate practice and tlerating cntradictry ideas, risk and failure are all things we can learn t d better. It is unlikely that ding s will transfrm any f us int creative geniuses, but it des have the ptential t increase ur level f creativity.32. Why des Ericssn think he can't find the limits?
A. N restrictins exist.B. Practice makes perfect.
C. Each ne can succeed.D. The gal is ambitius.
33. Which f the fllwing is an example f ‘small c’?
A. Settling in uter space.B. Building a plastic dghuse.
C. Develping rbts t lk after the ld.D. Explaining the thery f evlutin in class.
34. What des the underlined wrd “emulate” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Justify.B. Limit.C. Cpy.D. Assess.
35. What message des the authr seem t cnvey in the text?
A. We can learn t be mre creative.B. Life is full f varius challenges.
C. It’s better t take deliberate practice.D. Mst can becme creative geniuses.

I had stpped at the Swindn services (服务区) while n my way back t Lndn. As I drve up the slip rad, I sptted a man with a backpack and his thumb (拇指) ut. I pulled ver and lwered the windw.
“Which way are yu heading?" 1 asked. I'm ging back t Lndn.”
“Ah, that wuld be grand,” came his immediate reply. He pened the dr and lifted his backpack n t the back seat. “I'm Brendan,” he said with an easy smile and a rich Irish tngue. “I was getting a bit desperate. I've had my thumb ut fr a day and half. Nbdy seems t stp these days.”
“I haven't eaten in days,” said Brendan. “I'm trying t get hme.”
I've always enjyed picking up hitchhikers (搭便车的人). I used t be a mtring jurnalist and crssed the cuntry in varius test cars. Picking up a hiker always made me feel a little less guilty abut all the miles I was ding.
As we headed cast alng the mtrway, Brendan tld me hw he came t be waiting fr a lift n that particular
