Tony Wheeler was born to travel。

His father worked for an airline。

For the first 16 years of his life, Wheeler and his family lived in many different countries。

In the early 1970s， Wheeler met a young woman named Maureen. They soon married. Before getting jobs, Tony and Maureen wanted to travel。

They took a year—long trip from London，through Asia， to Australia。

On the trip, they visited places like India, Iran， and Afghanistan.
Tony and Maureen arrived in Australia，people asked many questions about their trip。

To answer these questions, Wheeler wrote a guidebook called Across Asia on the Cheap. The book told people about different countries’ weather,customs（风俗）, and places to see. But unlike travel guides in the 1970s，Wheeler’s book also talked about places most tourists did not go. He also wrote about unusual things to see and do。

The book was very popular。

Wheeler and Maureen started a company called Lonely Planet. They continued travelling。

They wrote guidebooks for each place they visited. Today, 400 people work for Lonely Planet。

The company has over 650 guidebooks。

Wheeler still writes about travel “hot spots” （for example， Cambodia in Asia and Croatia in Europe）。

For more information, read the books！
21。

Do you want to know something about the history of weather? Don’t look at the sky. Don’t look for old weather reports。

Looking at tree rings is more important。

Correct weather reports date back only one century, but some trees can provide an exact record of the weather even further back.
It is natural that a tree would grow best in a climate with plenty of sunlight and rainfall. It is
also expected that little sunlight and rainfall would limit the growth of a tree. The change from a favorable to an unfavorable climate can be determined by reading the pattern of rings in a tree trunk. To find the weather of ten years ago, count the rings of a tree trunk from the outside to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the other rings, then it is certain that plenty of sunny and rainy weather occurred。

If the rings are closed together, then the climate was bad for the tree。

Studying tree rings is important not only for the history of weather， but also for the history of man。

In a region of New Mexico you can find only sand--—no trees and no people。

However, many centuries ago a large population lived there. They left suddenly. Why?
A scientist studied patterns of dead tree rings which had grown there. He decided that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees。

Trees were necessary to make fires and buildings. So， after the people destroyed the trees, they had to move. In this instance studying tree rings uncovers an exciting fact about the history of man.
25。

It is understood that in a favorable climate ________.
A. tree rings grow together B。

tree rings grow far apart
C。

trees in New Mexico will grow big and tall
D。

people can cut down most of the trees in New Mexico
26。

The scientists are interested in studying tree rings because they can tell ___。

A。

whether in that area the climate was favorable or not
B。

whether a particular tree was healthy or not
C. whether people took good care of the trees or not
D。

how old the trees were
27. By studying the dead tree rings， the scientist discovered ___。

A .where the people had left. B. what the people used to eat
C. how the people left
D. why the people had to leave
28。

The people had to leave the region of New Mexico because ___。

A. they had cut down all the trees
B. there were many trees there
C. they had no water
D. bad weather stopped the growth of trees
C
I arrived at the bus station much too early for the London bus, which was not to leave until five to twelve. I pushed through the crowds, looking for somewhere to sit down。

Scores of people were standing
about, or struggling along with their bags and the cases to find the right lines. There was a party of school girls. I could see teachers trying to keep them in order。

But there was nowhere for me to sit.
I stepped into the station buffet. I looked up at the clock there。

It was only twenty to twelve。

I found a seat opposite a large mirror on the wall. Just then a friend of mine called Jim came in and sat with me. "What time is your bus？" asked Jim。

"Oh， there's a plenty of time yet，” I answered。

”Oh, I’ll get some drinks then，" said Jim。

We talked while drinking. Then I looked at the clock again. "Good heavens! It's going bac kward!” I cried。

”A moment ago it was twenty to twelve and now it’s half past eleven."”You are looking at the clock in the mirror," said Jim. I could kick myself for being so stupid。

I had not realized that the marks for one and eleven on the face of the clock were the same。

The next bus was not to leave for another hour。

I have never liked mirror since then.

February has long been a month of romance. With the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines。

On the 14th day， it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner， buy her flowers and chocolates, write poems， sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals！ This is what you see on Valentine’s Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome. When the emperor (皇帝) decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didn’t allow marriage。

But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered， the emperor sentenced him to death。

While in prison， it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard。

Before his death, he wrote her a letter, which he signed “From your Valentine”， an expression that is still in use today. Valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a Saint (圣徒），as well as becoming one of history’s most romantic characters. Nowadays，Valentine’s Day is also popular among Chinese young people。

Some students are planning to make Valentine's cards for parents， teachers and friends. Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart—shaped cakes. The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St。

Valentine。

33。

Why did the emperor in Rome not allow marriage in his country？
A. Because there were few women in his country at that time.
B。

Because he thought men without wives could be better soldiers.
C. Because there wasn’t enough food for so many people。

D. Because he wanted to control the birth rate。

34. Valentine was put into prison because ______。

A。

he killed one of the soldiers B。

he stole a lot of food
C。

he didn’t obey the emperor’s order D。

he didn’t want to be a soldier
35。

The last paragraph mainly tells us ______.
A。

students in China send cards to their teachers
B. it is a good idea to celebrate Valentine’s Day in China
C. it is interesti ng to celebrate Valentine’s Day in China
D. Valentine's Day is also popular in China now

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项.
The Art of Conversing
In a world of 6。

5 billion opinionated， arguments are sure to happen. 36 But arguments can often lead to positive change———— if you argue correctly.
Argue well
37 In a healthy argument, one’s own goal should be to make the problems clear, to communicate the upset behind the problems, and to really move toward a solution。

The minimum goal should be to preserve（维护）the relationship well enough to keep communication alive.
What not to do
Nothing kills a healthy argument like a personal attack, and personal attacks are a big no—no if you want an argument to end positively. For example, while I was making a public speech, someone interrupted and then correct me。

38 I completely lost my temper（脾气）， attacking that person directly and personally。

Clearly I shouldn’t have done that。

Don’t be afraid of the heat
It's true that personal problems must be left at the door. 39 Conflict(冲突）is acceptable in an argument as long as you stick to the subject. Attacking the other person is not useful。

That kind of argument closes down the willingness on both sides to keep talking.
40 If you do find yourself in the thick of one， listening with an open mind can bring about a quick end to the argument and perhaps a positive solution.
A。

I later ended up in an argument。

B。

Many people see arguments as a bad part of life。

C. Learning how to voice a different opinion works。

D. Unpleasant arguments are just around the corner。

E. But that doesn't mean arguments won’t get heated。

F. There certainly is such a thing as a “healthy argument”.
G. By actively listening, many arguments can be avoided。

The first time I went to the zoo was several years ago, with parents。

Yesterday I went to the zoo with some
classmates。

Arriving here, we got a guidebook and started walking round a zoo. We all got pretty exciting
about visiting the animals。

But something in their eyes made me to think they might enjoy live in the wild
rather than be kept in a cage. One classmate might have guessed what had come in my mind, as he tells
me at least in this way we had a good chance to know more about the animals. I don't know。

One possible version:
Our class held a discussion on whether we may eat fast food。

Students hold different opinions。

Some classmates who are in favor of the idea think that it is very convenient and saves a lot of time．In
addition, the environment of fast food restaurants is both clean and comfortable．Some classmates who are against the idea think that fast food is often rich in fat。

It can make people fat。

Moreover，it contains few nutrients. And it’s difficult to keep fit.
In my opinion，we don’t eat too much fast food. We should eat more vegetables and fruits.。
