Commuters（上班族）who are tired of heavy traffic may find it a fresh idea to travel by parachute gliding（滑翔伞）, but that is what a group of middle-aged people are doing every day in Zhuzhou City in central Hunan Province.
A local gliding club has more than a dozen members, between 30 and 50 years old, including government officials and company managers. Many choose to fly to work.
Equipment varies but can include a small motorized frame（动力框架）attached to a parachute--like sail or non-motorized hang-gliders that ride wind, usually after a rider jumps from a height.
One of the gliding commuters is Zeng Daxia, a 42-year-old civil servant and a retired professional parachute jumper. He is a senior member of a local glider club. “After work, I would go to an open space along the Xiangjiang River and fly home directly,” Zeng told reporters. “We love freedom. Our worries will blow away when we are flying.” Eight of the members frequently fly between home and work. Members sometimes fly together, sharing a very cool and efficient means of travel.
“I’m serious in the office but I become a different person once I put on my glider gear,” Zeng said. The gliders’ story has made a headline on many websites in China.
Whi le it may seem like a luxury sport, Zhong Bo, the club’s coach, said gliding equipment can be owned for about 30,000 yuan（$ 4,185）, the paper said. “Ten liters of 92# gasoline is enough for a three-hour flight and a round trip between Zhuzhou and Changsha, nearly 132 kilometers,” Zhong added. 92# gasoline is priced at 7.67 yuan a liter in Hunan.
Zhong also suggested that people should get certificates from the China Air Transport Association and General Administration of Sports before gliding.
24．Why do some people go to work by parachute gliding?
A．Because it is a fresh idea.
B．Because it is cheap.
C．Because they are bored with the traffic.
D．Because the club asks them to do so.
25．How can a parachute gliding take off?
A．By a rider’s jump from a hei ght. B．By hang- gliders’ riding wind.
C．By a push. D．By a motor.
26．According to the passage, we can know Zeng Daxia _______________.
A．is a retired civil servant B．is very serious about gliding
C．lives near the Xiangjiang River D．thinks the gliding is relaxing
27．The passage mainly tells us __________________.
A. some people fly to work by gliding B．how to take gliding
C. gliding is very popular in Zhuzhou D．special ways to go to work
C
A 44-year-old Swedish man, Peter Skyllberg, was found in a car buried under snow, at the end of a forest track more than 1 km from a main road in northern Sweden. He survived for two months without food by eating handfuls of snow. But how long can people go without food?
Skyllberg had bee n inside the car since 19 December, 2011. Experts believe it’s possible for the human body to survive without food for up to two months. Last year, a
56-year-old woman from British Columbia survived nearly 50 days in the Nevada wilderness on sweets and water after being stranded in the mountains while her husband went in search of help.
In fact there’re many causes that can influence a person’s ability to survive, such as the way the body’s metabolism（新陈代谢）slows down to keep energy. When the body stops getting food, it has to live on the stored sugar. When this runs out is then turned into the second energy supply. After the fat runs out, the body must take recycled protein from the system and finally from the muscles. But this is very expensive fuel for the body. It’s like being in a cold house and burning furniture instead of firewood. However, the muscle loss slows the body’s work, causing it to burn calories at a slower rate.
Being trapped into a small space would have helped Skyllberg keep precious calories. The car was covered in snow, creating what some experts have described as an “igloo
（因纽特小屋）effect” on the car.
A person’s mental state can play a key role in how long they survive, according to Stephen Joseph, a professor at the University of Nottingha m. “In dangerous situations, survival depends on personalities. Some might lose hope, while others are more hopeful,” says Joseph. “Hope is probably a big key to this.”
28．When was Peter Skyllberg saved out of the snow?
A. In October 2011 B．In January 2012
C．In February 2012 D．In March 2012 29. The underlined word “stranded” in Paragraph 2 means ___________.
A．trapped B．attacked C．worried D．frightened
30．Which of the following shows the right order of human body getting energy when there is no food?
A．stored sugars→ recycled protein→ fat
B．recycled protein→ fat→ stored sugars
C．fat→ recycled protein→ stored sugars
D．stored sugars→ fat→ recycled protein
31．What may partly lead to Peter Skyllberg’s survival of two months according to the passage?
A．Enough food B．Fast metabolism C．Low temperature D．High spirits
D
Just because a toy’s packaging says it’s educational doesn’t make it so. That’s the finding from a new study in JAMA Pediatrics that found some toys being marketed as language promoters got in the way of learning.
Research shows that for kids to understand, speak and eventually read or write a language, they need to hear it---lots of it. And it’s never too early for parents and caregivers to get talking. That explains the booming industry in talking electronic toys that claim to help kids learn language.
Professor Anna Sosa, of Northern Arizona University, led the study and says she gave families three different kinds of toys to play with: books, traditional toys like humble blocks（积木）and a shape sorter, and electronic toys. Sosa says she picked
those toys because they are advertised in their packaging as language-promoters for babies between the ages of 10 and 16 months.
“We had a talking on farm-animal names and things,” Sosa says of t he electronic toys. “We had a baby cell phone. And we had a baby laptop. So you open the cover and start pushing buttons, and it tells you things. The parent-child couples were asked to play separately with each type of toy over the course of three days.”
“When there’s something else that’s doing some talking, the parents seem to be sitting on the sidelines and letting the toy talk for them and respond for them,” Sosa says. “That’s bad because the best way a toy can promote language in infants and toddlers is by stimulating interaction between parents and child. There’s simply no evidence that a young child can learn language directly from a toy. It isn’t responsive enough. It isn’t social.”
As for the other toys, traditional blocks and puzzles stimulated more conversation than the electronic toys, and books outscored（得分高于）them all. But don’t underestimate the humble block. While traditional toys fell short of books in interaction quantity, Sosa notes, they kept pace in terms of quality.
32．What is the finding of the research led by Professor Anna Sosa?
A．Toy industry is facing a new challenge in marketing.
B．Kids should be taught to learn with toys as early as possible.
C．Parents need to be cautious when choosing toys for their kids.
D．People might be misled by the statements of some toy makers.
33．According to the passage, why are talking electronic toys so popular?
A．Because they represent the latest creations.
B．Because they are used as an education tool.
C．Because they arouse the interest of learning.
D．Because they are easy for the kid to control.
34．We can infer from the passage that it is necessary for the parents
__________________.
A．to get involved in the conversations with their kids
B．to spare more time to stay with their kids at home
C．to encourage their kids to attend social activities
D．to share their experiences of reading with their kids
35．What is the author’s attitude to electronic toys as language promoters?
______________
A．Supportive B．Doubtful C．Critical
D．Objective

How to Improve Your Social Life
In this world, developing social skills is one of the most important parts of growing up. However, not everybody is able to fully develop their own potential. 36 Here are some ways to overcome their situation. 37
One of the first things you have to deal with is body language. By studying body language, you will be able to correct yourself and put on a friendlier image. A simple smile and a simple gesture of the hands go a long way when it comes to developing social skills.
Widen your circle.
It’s hard to continue developing social skills when you don’t have a lot of friends. Don’t be afraid to go out there and meet new people. 38 You can also try joining community organizations. Joining the gardening club or the cooking class a few blocks down is a great way to meet people with common interests.
Follow your role model.
39 On the contrary, having a role model actually helps you in developing social skills. Having someone encourage you to take leaps of faith and gives you proper direction. Of course, it would be best if your role model actually has admirable social skills in the first place.
Developing social skills is very important. 40 As long as they are determined to work on improving these skills every chance they get, there is a bright future waiting ahead.
A．Use the right body language.
B．Try to get along well with others.
C．You can start by meeting friends of friends.
D．These people tend to miss out a lot in life.
E．Many people tend to ignore the importance of role models.
F．Even the shyest people in the world can overcome their inability.
G．As a matter of fact, it is very difficult for people to grasp the social skills.

Dear Peter,
I’m glad to know that you are curious about the art of Chinese calligraphy. As you can see, all the Chinese characters hanging there are written with the Four Treasures of the Chinese Study—brush, ink, paper and ink stone, which enjoy a long history and a good reputation as well. For Chinese, calligraphy serves the purpose of conveying
thoughts and showing the beauty of the lines. Not only is it a practical technique for writing Chinese characters, but also a unique art which can make our souls pure.
As a matter of fact, it takes great efforts to practice Chinese calligraphy. It takes time and requires patience. Only with much practice can you write beautiful characters that are admired by others.
All the best.
Yours,
Li Hua。
