It was New Year's Night. An aged man was standing at a window. He raised his sad eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white lilies (百合花）on the surface of a clear calm lake. Then he cast them on the earth, where few more hopeless people than himself now moved towards their certain goal — the tomb. He had already passed sixty of the stages leading to it, and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and regrets.
The days of his youth appeared like drems before him, and he remembered the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads — one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with floweret fruits and resounding with soft, sweet songs; the oilier leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless, where poison flowed instead of water and where devils (魔鬼) and poisonous snakes hissed and crawled.
He saw a star fall from the sky and disappear, and this was the symbol of himself. His regret, which was like a sharp arrow，struck deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood, who entered on life together with him. But they had made their way to success and were now honored and happy on this New Year’s night. With shame and grief he Hared no longer look towards that heaven where his father lived. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and with a despairing effort, he burst out a cry: “Come back, my early days! Come back!"
And his youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year's Night.He was still young though his faults were real； he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny hind.
Those who still remain at the entrance of life, hesitating to choose the bright road remember that when years have passed and your feet fall on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain： “Oh youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!”

As children grow up, they become curious about different kinds of things. When they are babies, they are curious about the parts of their bodies and about the smiles of their mothers. Then they become interested in the physical world around them ： the plants f the animals f the sky. loiter, they become absorbed in the things that people have made： wheels, bicycles, cars. And when I hey are adults，their curiosity perseveres. Sometimes this curiosity leads to a career in science.
Scientists have already discovered a lot about our world. Fur example, they tell us why your heart beats fast when you run. Your heart is a pump that pumps blood to nil ports of the body. The blood carries oxygen and nutrition. When you run, your muscles work very hard and use the nutrition that the blond rarries to them. The muscles need oxygen , too. So your brain sends a signal to the heart. The signal means that the muscles need more nutrition and oxygen. Then the heart befits fast and sends blood quickly to the muscles. It may beat 90 to 140 limes a rninule.
Of course, scientists cunnot answer all of our questions. If we ask, “ Why does die ocean water taste salty” scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it crarks. Rain falls into cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask, “ What happens lo the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get saltier every year. " Scientists are hesitating about the answer to this question.
We know a lot about our world, but there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious.
29.What attracts a baby first when they begin to sense the world?

B.They want to be scientists.
C.They know nothing about the world.
D.They cannot explain many things.

Interactions between people and elephants have a long history. Elephants have been trained and used by human beings for thousands of years, for everything from transportation to construction to logging (伐木)to war.
In more recent times, Asian elephants have been used in enterainment and an u living “machhine”to help move logs through the jungle as part of the logging industy. The latter changed in Thailand in 1989, when the Thai government banned the use of elephants in the logging induatry. Owners of elephants had very little choice but to turn lo tourism to earn enough to care for themselves and their elephants by offering elephant riding to tourists.
Mahouts are the elephant handlers who you will see riding or managing the elphants at any camp you visit，Traditionally, being a mahout is part of the family business, and a young family member is matched with a young elephant, and they spend most of their lives together. The traditional mahout life isn't easy. Since they are bonded to their elephant, they rarely have time off or time for family.
These years, younger mahouts in Thailand have been more likely to leave the mahout life lo find jobs in the city， changing the dynamic and resulting in elephants having to get used to multiple mahouts. This can lead to additional stress on the elephant，or result in abuse by a mahout trying to manage an elephant that hasn't built any level of trust with him.
Opponents of elephant riding may suggest that elephant rides be outlawed. My worry is that an immediate ban could lead to another massive change in how elephants are treated, similar to ending elephant logging in 1989. How will mahouts that are currently making a living and supporting their elephants through rides be able to continue to do no? The average lifespan of an elephant in 60 years. Any solution needs to take into account the long-term effects on the elephants currently employed giving rides.
32. What happened in 1989 in Thailand?
A. Elephants lost their jobs.
B.Riding elephants appeared.
A. Elephants lost their jobs.
D. The goverment banned logging, elephants?
33.What will cause the ill treatment of some elephants?
A.The grent stress to make money.
B. The heavy load on ihe elepluuits.
C.Younger mahouts leaving for cities.
D. The owners' mistrust of the elephants.
34. What s the best title for the passage?
A. Will You Go lo Thailand?
B. Why are Elephants Trained?
C.How do Mahouts Train Elephants?
D. Should You Ride Elephants in Thailand?
35.Why does the author write this passage?
A.To present a problem. B. To criticize mahouts.
C.To introduce Thailand.D. To record his experience.

For me, this book has a very special place in my heart. I was in Chengdu al the same time，living in the same area and eating in the same 65( restaurant) as Ms. Dunlop. I never 66 ( meet) her and 1 don't ever remember 67(see) someone who looked like her.But her description of Cliengdu，of Sichuan cuisine y of being a 68 (foreign) in China in the 1990s, and the culture shock when one returns to the West are exactly what I experienced and felt when I lived there.
But what she does that I have never been able to do is to express it so 69(precise ) in writing what all of it means — being someone caught between two cultures. So if you want to really underatand China from an outsider's perspertive (视角），add Shark’s Fin and Sichuan Pepper 70 your list of books to read.

He had already passed sixty of the stages leading to it, and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and regrets.
The days of his youth appeared like drems before him, and he remembered the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads — one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with floweret fruits and resounding with soft, sweet songs; the oilier leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless, where poison flowed instead of water and where devils (魔鬼) and poisonous snakes hissed and crawled.
He saw a star fall from the sky and disappear, and this was the symbol of himself. His regret, which was like a sharp arrow，struck deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood, who entered on life together with him. But they had made their way to success and were now honored and happy on this New Year’s night. With shame and grief he Hared no longer look towards that heaven where his father lived. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and with a despairing effort, he burst out a cry: “Come back, my early days! Come back!"
And his youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year's Night.He was still young though his faults were real； he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny hind.
Those who still remain at the entrance of life, hesitating to choose the bright road remember that when years have passed and your feet fall on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain： “Oh youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!”

As children grow up, they become curious about different kinds of things. When they are babies, they are curious about the parts of their bodies and about the smiles of their mothers.

Scientists have already discovered a lot about our world. Fur example, they tell us why your heart beats fast when you run. Your heart is a pump that pumps blood to nil ports of the body. The blood carries oxygen and nutrition. When you run, your muscles work very hard and use the nutrition that the blond rarries to them. The muscles need oxygen , too.

It may beat 90 to 140 limes a rninule.
Of course, scientists cunnot answer all of our questions. If we ask, “ Why does die ocean water taste salty” scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it crarks. Rain falls into cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean.

Interactions between people and elephants have a long history. Elephants have been trained and used by human beings for thousands of years, for everything from transportation to construction to logging (伐木)to war.
In more recent times, Asian elephants have been used in enterainment and an u living “machhine”to help move logs through the jungle as part of the logging industy. The latter changed in Thailand in 1989, when the Thai government banned the use of elephants in the logging induatry. Owners of elephants had very little choice but to turn lo tourism to earn enough to care for themselves and their elephants by offering elephant riding to tourists.
Mahouts are the elephant handlers who you will see riding or managing the elphants at any camp you visit，Traditionally, being a mahout is part of the family business, and a young family member is matched with a young elephant, and they spend most of their lives together. The traditional mahout life isn't easy. Since they are bonded to their elephant, they rarely have time off or time for family.
These years, younger mahouts in Thailand have been more likely to leave the mahout life lo find jobs in the city， changing the dynamic and resulting in elephants having to get used to multiple mahouts. This can lead to additional stress on the elephant，or result in abuse by a mahout trying to manage an elephant that hasn't built any level of trust with him.
Opponents of elephant riding may suggest that elephant rides be outlawed. My worry is that an immediate ban could lead to another massive change in how elephants are treated, similar to ending elephant logging in 1989. How will mahouts that are currently making a living and supporting their elephants through rides be able to continue to do no? The average lifespan of an elephant in 60 years. Any solution needs to take into account the long-term effects on the elephants currently employed giving rides.
32. What happened in 1989 in Thailand?
A. Elephants lost their jobs.
B.Riding elephants appeared.
A. Elephants lost their jobs.
D. The goverment banned logging, elephants?
33.What will cause the ill treatment of some elephants?
A.The grent stress to make money.
B. The heavy load on ihe elepluuits.
C.Younger mahouts leaving for cities.
D. The owners' mistrust of the elephants.
34. What s the best title for the passage?
A. Will You Go lo Thailand?
B. Why are Elephants Trained?
C.How do Mahouts Train Elephants?
D. Should You Ride Elephants in Thailand?
35.Why does the author write this passage?
A.To present a problem. B. To criticize mahouts.
