A
Two Interesting Stories
Shaving Away the Eyebrows
Si Burgher had some of the longest eyebrows in Indiana. They were so long that he had to brush them every day so that they did not look like a wild hair. They measured more than three inches in length. However, according to NBC News, the one thing that was even more important 10 him was the Bloomfield Rotary Club’s campaign to end polio (脊髓灰质炎). According to /doc/fc7c59b1b34e852458fb770bf78a6529657 d3542.html , it started out as a light-hearted joke in which his fellow club members said that people would probably pay to trim (修剪) his eyebrows. After thinking about it, Burgher agreed.
Tickets for trimming Burghers eyebrows started al $100 for a swipe (刮) with the razor. The first person in line was his wife. With each eyebrow taking eight swipes to finish off, Burgher managed to raise $ 1,600 for the polio cure. His wife told reporters that she was delighted with his new look and that it made him look kind and handsome.
Stunt (特技) Driving
According to the report from World of /doc/fc7c59b1b34e852458fb770bf78a6529657 d3542.html , Sue Harding hated the stereotype (成见) that librarians were boring just as much as she cared for the doctors and nurses in the Warwickshire and Northampton Air Ambulance
Service. She came up with the idea to get rid of the
stereotype by involving herself in a stunt driving course. In the process she raised funds. According to the Times, people could come out and watch. All earnings were to be donated to the Warwickshire and Northampton Air Ambulance Service.
When the big day came, her stunt driving skills turned out to be quite impressive for a librarian. She put the stunt car through the paces, throwing handbreak turns and following the speed and shoot chase formation. Not only did it get rid of the stereotype but it also raised money for the Ambulance Service.
31. What caused Si Burgher to have his eyebrows trimmed?
A. The club members’ joke.
B. A report from NBC News.
C. His wife’s encouragement.
D. His wish for handsomeness.
32. What is Sue Harding?

B. A librarian.
C. A doctor.
D. A nurse.
33. What did Si Burgher and Sue Harding have in common?

B
My father was a taxi driver but I am a king—King Renato, of the country Pontinha, an island on Funchal harbour. It’s in Madeira, Portugal, where I grew up. It was discovered in 1419; Captain Cook once came here.
In 1903, th e Portuguese government didn’t have enough money to build a harbor port, so the king sold the land to a wealthy British family, the Blandys, who make Madeira wine. Fourteen years ago, the family decided to sell it for just € 25,000 (￡19,500). I decided to buy it though I had no money—I was just an art teacher.
I tried to find some business partners, but they all thought I was crazy to want to buy what is actually a large rock; it has a small cave, a platform on top, and no electricity or running water. So I sold some of my possessions, put my savings together and bought it.
When the king of Portugal originally sold the island in 1903, he and all the governors signed a document, selling all the “possessions and the dominions (领土)” of the island. It means I ca n do what I want with it—I could start a restaurant, or a cinema, but nobody thought that someone would
want to start a country. So that’s what I did: I decided that this would no longer be just a rock on the port of Funchal. It would be my island, about the size of a one-bedroom house.
After I bought it, the governor of Madeira asked to buy my island. Of course, I said no. He
said that unless I sold it back to the state, he wouldn’t let me connect to any electricity. But I have a solar panel and a small windmill, and maybe in the future I will be able to generate power from the ocean around Pontinha.

C. It was a wealthy land.
D. Life there was very convenient.
C
Nature may be red in tooth and claw. But one caterpillar（毛毛虫）dresses in orange and black to avoid becoming somebody’s lunch. What’s really surprising, though, is that this distinctive set of stripes（条纹）can serve as both a warning and as disguise, depending on how far away it is from the viewer.
Animals can make use of color as a defense mechanism in a couple of ways. Some shades and patterns help animals combine into the background. However daring markings often work as a signal that an animal is uneatable.
So, these two strategies have often been considered not to coexist. But under natural conditions you find this distinction is less clear cut.
Jim Barnett of the University of Bristol, who led the study to
explore whether the same coloration might do double duty, allowing an animal to be obvious under some conditions but unseen in others. They focused their attention on the caterpillars. Their bright appearance was believed to remind the birds that may have eaten others of their kind that they are none too tasty, thanks to their fixed diet.
The researchers took photos of the caterpillars in suburban green spaces around Bristol. And they used a visual modeling program to give them a “bird’s-eye view” of what the caterpillars look like, either close-up or from farther away. What they found is that although at close range the caterpillar’s stripes are highly obvious—these bright colors distinguish it quite easily from its background—but when viewed from a distance they mix together to form a color which is actually quite difficult to tell from the background color. So, the caterpillar is getting the best of both worlds. Close up, the stripes may keep your distance. But from a distance, they allow the caterpillars to hide in plain sight.
The finding is a reminder: Don’t forget to step back and see things from a different perspective.
28. What is the fun ction of the animals’ daring markings?
A. To avoid being eaten.
B. To attack their enemies.
C. To distinguish themselves.
D. To please their partners.
29. How does caterpillars’ coloration perform its double duty?
A. By adapting to the environment or changing it.
B. By making their appearance attractive and bodies stronger.
C. By frightening off enemies or avoiding being found easily.
D. By changing their skin colors in case of peace and danger.
30. When viewed from a distance caterpillars appear to ________.
A. show off their stripes
B. take on different colors
C. transform their shapes
D. combine into the surroundings
31. Which of the following does the author agree?
A. Every coin has two sides.
B. Put character before appearance.
C. Try to view things from a different angle.
D. One bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
The Australian beach town of Byron Bay has a traffic problem, especially during holidays, when local streets are full of cars. But now it’s changed. The world’s first fully solar-powered train runs on a restored(修复)train line that was out of use for more than a decade.
The solar systems on the roof of the train send power to a set of batteries that replace one engine; the other engine is still in place and can provide backup power in an emergency. As the train brakes, it generates more electricity, like a hybrid car. At a train station, the train can be plugged in to pull more power from solar systems on the platform roof. If there’s a long period without sun---somewhat unlikely in this part of the world---the train can also plug in to get renewable energy from the local electricity supply.
“The large solar systems on the platform roof coupled with the solar systems on the train roof produce more solar energy per day than is re quired to operate an hourly return service,” says Holmes, development director of the nonprofit Byron Bay
Railroad company, which runs the train. With one full charge, the train can make 12 to 15 trips.
Volunteers fully restored the train to its old condition to attract more riders, which should take more cars off city streets of the beach town. The train fits 100 seated passengers, with room for more to stand, and also has a luggage room for bikes and surfboards. A ride costs a little more than $2.
The non profits thinks it’s a model that could be replicated (复制)elsewhere. “Our service has had no government support or funding at all, but for this to be replicated or improved upon, the key is for government to work with enterprises on the program.” Holmes says. “Our service provides an example of how the sun’s energy can be used for sustainable transport solutions.”
32. Why is the solar train brought into use in Byron Bay?
A. To attract visitors
B. To reduce traffic
C. To fight pollution
D. To use solar energy
33. Where does the train get energy on sunless days?
A. From its engines
B. From a hybrid car
C. From the platform roof
D. From the local electricity supply
34. How does Holmes feel about solar energy equipment?
A. It is labor-saving
B. It is easily operated
C. It is time-consuming
D. It is power guaranteed
35. What can be inferred about the solar-powered train from
the last paragraph?
A. It may be popularized in the future
B. More scientific research should be done about it
C. It could be of little use in solving energy problems.
D. Financial support from the government is badly needed

Teens are certainly confusing and complicated, but there is one thing that’s clear about them:Morethananythingelse, they want to fit in with their peers. They want and need to stay connected. Without connection, they feel lonely, anxious and sad, 46.
Teens, like adults , run. into all sorts of dilemmas with their friends. Friendships are neither allgood nor all bad. As an adult, you have experience with these sorts of friends and have made yourownadjustments in these relationships. Given both your own life experience and your concern foryour teens, you’re in an excellent position to help your teens set boundaries with friends. Certainly, some friendships are worth maintaining, while some are not, 47. There are many ways you canhelp yourteens handle these relationships effectively. Here are some stepsI would suggest taking:
1. Teach your teens to label their feelings. They need to know what it is that they are feeling firstto effectively set limitsand boundarieswithfriends. Helpthem label setbacks, exhaustion, disappointment and anger. This is no small task. Many kids struggle with labeling their feelings.
2. 48 . If they sense that something is wrong in a friendship, they’re probably right, endthey need to quit it as soon as
possible.
3. Explain to your teens that they can’tbe all things to all friends. And let them know thatfriendships are most likely to grow and continue if they feel good about them.
4. Discuss different ways to set boundaries. Explain to your kids that just as it makes sense to say yes at times, 49. Just as it’s fine to spend lots of time with a friend during the week, it’s equally OK to spend less time with the same friend when that friend is being too demanding or needy.
5. Look at your behavior in relationships. 50. They are quietly watching your every move.

Dear Jim,
It’s great to know that you have begun to learn Chinese! You say you find Chinese difficult to learn. I quite understand your problem.
Different from your language, most Chinese characters are from images. For English, most of time, you’ll know how to pr onounce a word when you see it. But it is impossible in Chinese. In addition, Chinese grammar is totally different from English grammar. That definitely brings you more trouble.
However, any lea rning takes time. Don’t worry. I suggest you start with Pinyin, which will help you know how to read Chinese characters. Besides, listening to Chinese songs or watching Chinese movies will also help. The more you are exposed to the language, the more familiar you will get with it.
I wish you every success in learning the language! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. Good luck!
Yours,
Li Hua

My parents hold the opinion that I should study hard so that I will have more choices in the future. Besides, they consider that it is harmful to my eyes to watch TV too often, which is the chief cause of short sight. But in my view, it is TV that gives me something what I am interested in. In addition, it may relax my mind when I am tired, in which case the efficiency of my study
will be improved.
In the end we reached an agreement. Only at weekends am I allowed to watch TV, however, the programs are limited to news, sports and entertainment, not including TV plays. This agreement is acceptable to me for it is beneficial to my study and life./doc/fc7c59b1b34e852458fb770bf78a6529 657d3542.html /。
