In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney. Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride （搭便车）.
I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally,
a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I w as doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使…放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.
Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearly town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favor I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.
After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.

The first day of the month of May is known as May Day. It is the time of year when warmer weather begins. People celebrate the coming of summer with customs that are expressions of joy and hope after a long winter. Today, May Day activities have been moved to the May Day holiday on the first Monday of the month. It is a public holiday when families take advantage of the time off to visit some of the UK’s many attractions, including parks, zoos, historic buildings, ancient towns and villages and beautiful countryside.
May Day celebrations have their origins in the Roman festiva l of Flora, the goddess of fruit and flowers, which marked the beginning of summer. People would decorate their houses and villages with leaves and flowers they picked at daybreak in the belief that the vegetation spirits (神灵) would bring good luck. In the very early morning, young girls went into the fields and washed their faces with dew (露水). They believed this made them very beautiful for the following year.
May Day was an important day in the Middle Ages and was a favorite holiday of many
English villages. People of the time used to cut down young trees and stick them in the ground in the village to mark the arrival of summer. This is the origin of the maypole (五月柱). People danced around them in celebration of the end of winter. Maypoles were once common all over England and were kept from one year to the next. The tallest maypole is said to have been put up in London on the Strand in 1661. It stood more than 143 feet high and was cut down in 1717, when it was used by Newton to support a new reflecting telescope (反射式望远镜) invented by Dutch scientist Huygens.
29. How do Britis h people celebrate May Day?
A. They visit friends and family members.
B. They spend a lot of time shopping a round.
C. They show great love for the long winter.
D. They celebrate it on the first Monday of May.
30. The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refers to _____.
A. going into the fields
B. picking flowers at daybreak
C. washing the face with dew
D. getting up early in the morning
31. What can we learn about the maypole?
A. People climb it on May Day.
B. It dates from the Middle Ages.
C. It was usually found in the cities.
D. People used old, tall trees to make it.
32. The purpose of the text is to _____.
A. describe Roman customs
B. introduce a British festival
C. suggest spring family activities
D. explain the origins of maypoles
D
China is having such a huge influence on the United States that many Americans are struggling to learn the Chinese language in a bid to keep competitive(有竞争力的).
“Interest in learning Chinese among American youth and their parents has grown quickly in the past five years,” said Vivien Stewart, vice president at the Asia Society. China’s quick rise to near-superpower and its effects politically, economically and culturally are driving the American’s interest to learn the language, experts say. From kindergartens （幼儿园）to high schools, studies by the Asia Society show, there is a “rapid rise”
in interest among pupils to study the Chinese language. “The Chin ese rich cultural traditions and blossoming(繁荣) economy mean that it is now important for all of our students to be better prepared,” said Michael Levine, Asia Society's executive director of education.
A survey found that 2,400 high schools - an unbelievably high number - would be interested in offering the Advanced Placement (AP) courses in Chin ese language and culture when the courses become available in 2016.
China, the world’s most popular nation, is important to the United States because it is a leading trader, consumer and investor. Its political influence is also rising across the world. It has replaced the United States as the world’s largest consumer and could become the second largest economy in the world, after the United States, in the next two to three decades.
Even though the US State Department has described the Chinese language “critical”to national prosperity and security, “the current facilities（设备）to support recruitment(招募) of students and teachers as well as the growth of high quality programs is terribly no t enough,” an Asia Society study says. The Society has set an aim of having at least five percent of American high school students learning Chinese by 2015.
33.Why do more and more Americans begin to learn the Chinese language?
A. To be a bridge between the two big countries.
B. To keep competitive.
C. Because they are always interested in it.
D. To gain advantage in trade.
34.What problems is the US faced with when it comes to learning Chinese?
A. A lack in current facilities to support recruitment of students and teachers and programs.
B. Not many people want to learn foreign languages.
C. The language is rather difficult compared with English.
D. Too many Chinese are learning English.
35.What is the best title for this passage?
A. Foreign Language Learning
B. Danger from China
C. The Chinese Language gets More Popular
D. Difficulties in Learning the Chinese Lan guage.

Dear Lin Tao,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with your schoolwork. I’d like to give you some tips to help you deal with the problem.
First, you should make a schedule about your life and study, which can help you organize your time well and do everything in perfect order.
Secondly, you should preview the new lessons before class and review what you have learned after class. In class, you should listen to the teacher carefully and try to make notes.
Thirdly, don’t forget to combine study with pleasure. Try to relax yourself by listening to music or doing sports whenever you can. As you know, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
All the best!
Yours,
Li Hua。
