Abeid was brn in a village f Tanzania and dreamt f flying a plane, saring (翱翔) thrugh the sky. Due t financial difficulties, he became a wildlife
guide instead.
Abeid didn’t give up. He became a chief pilt f ht air ballning at the age f 20. His passin fr flying was matched by his skill bth as a pilt
and as a guide. Then, he came up with the idea f flying acrss the Serengeti frm east t west, which wuld take fur flights n successive days, taking
ff and landing where n ne had ever seen a balln befre.
As a jurnalist, I was s lucky t make a jurney with Abeid. We were up at 3 am. Abeid walked int the basket and checked the lines and the
fastenings. Mments later, he was instructing me t get int it. With barely time t catch my breath, he gave a lng blast (猛吹) n the burners and the
basket tipped upright.
Over the fllwing days, we gasped at the jy and wnder f the sky; at the beauty and cmplexity f the land beneath us. There was n fear, just a
sense f being part f smething fantastic as we flated in the silence f the African sky.
But nt everything went entirely t Abeid’s carefully wrked-ut plan. The rains that had started t fall every afternn slwed the air. On the final
day, we landed 20km shrt f the destinatin. Luckily, we finally made the crssing the next mrning.
When we were returning t the land, crwds f peple shuted and waved. Many children lked up as we flew ver them, and started t run. As
Abeid brught the balln dwn, peple gathered arund the balln, pressing against the basket. Thse children were als there, flushed and
breathless, eyes wide with amazement. Abeid and I bth lked at each ther in silent agreement. Suddenly we were helping sme children int the
basket. Abeid lifted ff and we flew just a few hundred metres with the excited crwd running alngside.
I realized that Abeid’s jurney was mre than just abut flying. It was abut hpe, inspiratin, and the jy f sharing ne’s passin. And as I
penned dwn the last wrds f this extrardinary experience, I knew that Abeid’s stry wuld resnate (回荡) far beynd the Serengeti.

I must have always knwn reading was very imprtant because the first memries I have as a child deal with bks. There was nt ne night that I
dn't remember mm reading me a strybk by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the wrds sunded.
I always wanted t knw what my mm was reading. Hearing mm say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this mrning,” made
me want t grab it ut f her hands and read it myself. I wanted t be like my mm and knw all f the things she knew. S I carried arund a bk, and
each night, just t be like her, I wuld pretend t be reading.
This is hw everyne learned t read. We wuld start ff with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stries. It seemed an unending jurney, but even
as a six-year-ld girl I realized that knwing hw t read culd pen many drs. When mm said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden n the tp shelf,” I knew
where the candy was. My prgress in reading raised my curisity, and I wanted t knw everything. I ften fund myself telling my mm t drive mre
slwly, s that I culd read all f the rad signs we passed.
Mst f my reading thrugh primary, middle and high schl was factual reading. I read fr knwledge, and t make A’s n my tests. Occasinally, I
wuld read a nvel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjy this type f reading. I liked facts, things that are cncrete. I thught anything abstract left t
much rm fr argument.
Yet, nw that I’m grwing and the wrld I nce knew as being s simple is becming mre cmplex, I find myself needing a way t escape. By
pening a nvel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter int a wnderful and mysterius wrld where I am nw a new character. In these wrlds I can
becme anyne. I dn’t have t write dwn what happened r what technique the authr was using when he r she wrte this. I just read t relax.
We’re taught t read because it’s necessary fr much f human understanding. Reading is a vital part f my life. Reading satisfies my desire t
keep learning. And I’ve fund that the pssibilities that lie within bks are limitless.
【小题1】Why did the authr want t grab the newspaper ut f mm’s hands？
A．She wanted mm t read the news t her.
B．She was anxius t knw what had happened.
C．She culdn't wait t tear the newspaper apart.
D．She culdn't help but stp mm frm reading.
【小题2】Accrding t Paragraph 3, the authr’s reading f rad signs indicates ________.
A．her unique way t lcate herself
B．her eagerness t develp her reading ability
C．her effrt t remind mm t bey traffic rules
D．her grwing desire t knw the wrld arund her.
【小题3】What was the authr’s view n factual reading？
A．It wuld help her update test-taking skills.
B．It wuld allw much rm fr free thinking.
C．It wuld prvide true and bjective infrmatin.
D．It wuld help shape a realistic and serius attitude t life.

【小题4】The authr takes nvel reading as a way t ________.

B．develp a passin fr leaning
C．learn abut the adult cmmunity
D．get away frm a cnfusing wrld
Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shws, while mst likely cntributing t fewer injuries. It des, hwever, have its
wn prblem.
Race walkers are cnditined athletes. The lngest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilmeter race walk, which is abut five
miles lnger than the marathn. But the sprt’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight thrugh mst f the leg swing and ne ft
remain in cntact (接触) with the grund at all times. It’s this strange frm that makes race walking such an attractive activity, hwever, says Jaclyn
Nrberg, an assistant prfessr f exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, Accrding t mst calculatins, race walkers mving at a pace f six miles per hur
wuld burn abut 800 calries(卡路里) per hur, which is apprximately twice as many as they wuld burn walking, althugh fewer than running, which
wuld prbably burn abut 1,000 r mre calries per hur.
Hwever, race walking des nt pund the bdy as much as running des, Dr. Nrberg says. Accrding t her research, runners hit the grund with
as much as fur times their bdy weight per step, while race walkers, wh d nt leave the grund, create nly abut 1.4 times their bdy weight with
each step.
As a result, she says, sme f the injuries assciated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncmmn amng race walkers. But the sprt’s
strange frm des place cnsiderable stress n the ankles and hips, s peple with a histry f such injuries might want t be cautius in adpting the
sprt. In fact, anyne wishing t try race walking shuld prbably first cnsult a cach r experienced racer t learn prper technique, she says. It takes
sme practice.

"Sun, sun, sun, here it cmes…"

Danny sang while his fingers pressed and pulled skillfully at the guitar strings, delivering a slw and peaceful tune. A circle f audience had frmed,
ndding and mving slwly t the sng.
Lying at the feet f the street perfrmer was his mst adring fan: One-Eyed, a white stray （流浪） dg with pieces f brwn. Danny felt the name
was suitable cnsidering its physical disability. Usually, One-Eyed wuld bark ludly as Danny perfrmed. Much t his annyance, peple ften mistk
the pair as wner and pet. At this time, Danny wuld reply, "My dg? N!" , eyes rlling at the idea. Hw he wished the dg wuld leave him alne
instead!
On a snwy night, while Danny was perfrming, a bird flew dwnward, landing int the midst f the crwd. It ced happily as if t harmnize with
Danny. Unfrtunately, that did nt sit well with One-Eyed, which immediately bunced at it and the bird flew away desperately.
The unexpected chas upturned Danny's hat, which culd have been filled with ntes and cins frm his appreciative audience, leaving it ignred n
the grund. "Argh! The hateful dg!” Danny brke dwn, thinking t himself, "Either the dg ges r I g!"
On the next night, Danny tried t find a new place and chanced upn the park. Fr a while his earnings were gd unsurprisingly as there was a
steady flw f visitrs. Hwever, that didn't last lng. One-Eyed came alng and appinted itself as Danny's guardian. "Argh! Here cmes the hateful dg
again!" That night, Danny hadn't made enugh mney he shuld have, all thanks t the trublesme dg.
Danny was almst mad with One-Eyed. "What shuld I d? Call an animal shelter? " Trn by this prblem, he walked aimlessly by the lake f the
park. With all his mind fcused n hw t get rid f the dg, Danny didn't watch his steps. Suddenly, he slipped and fell int the lake accidentally.
Struggling in the icy water, he cried fr help desperately, almst chking t death. Sensing the apprach f death, Danny gt int verwhelming panic.

Just then, a familiar barking was heard in the distance.
