At the end I said, “Son, remember: Be slow and steady (镇定的), and that will win the race. Dont you think theres something to learn from the tortoise?”Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when Im entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”I was shocked, “But the tortoise didnt wish that the hare would fall asleep!”“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”“He didnt have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance (坚忍不拔), by pushing on steadily.”Sonny thought a while. “Thats a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadnt happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but hed never have won the race. Thats for sure.”I gave up. Todays children are not like what we used to be. Theyre just hopeless.31.

Then, as she started to rise from the table, she fainted (晕倒) and fell to the floor. I picked her up and carried her to the old red sofa. I ran to the door and yelled to Uncle Caesar for help. He ran down the street. Five minutes later, he was back with a doctor.The doctor examined Miss Adair and turned to the old black driver. “Uncle Caesar,” he said, “run to my house and ask my wife for some milk and some eggs. Hurry!”Then the doctor turned to me. “She does not get enough to eat,” he said. “She has many friends who want to help her, but she is proud. Mrs Caswell will accept help only from that old black man. He was once her familys slave.”“Mrs Caswell?” I said in surprise. “I thought she was Miss Adair.”“She was,” the doctor answered, “until she married Wentworth Caswell twenty years ago. But hes a hopeless drunk who takes even the small amount of money that Uncle Caesar gives her.”After the doctor left, I heard Caesars voice in the other room. “Did he take all the money I gave you yesterday?” “Yes, Caesar,” I heard her answer softly. “He took both dollars.”I went into the room and gave Miss Adair fifty dollars.

So new tools called vuvuzelas have been given to people to keep the elephants away. They are plastic instruments some fans use at sports events. The instruments make a loud sound elephants do not like. The animals leave, and no one is harmed.Vuvuzelas work because they do not threaten (威胁) the elephants. That is important because an elephant that feels threatened is more likely to attack. So far, no one has reported an elephant attacking in answer to a vuvuzela.Officials and villagers have tried other ways to stop elephants from coming near farms and houses. They have built beehives (蜂巢) houses for flying insects that sting (叮, 蜇). They have hung ropes covered in spicy oil. They have dug long, deep holes. And they have used guns, called A-K47s.An official from the Uganda Wildlife Authority explains that people shoot the gun in the air to scare the elephant. But over time, the elephants have stopped being afraid of the sound of the gun. They only look at the shooter and wave their ears. Probably one day, elephants will accept the vuvuzela noise, just as they do the sound of the A-K47. But right now, vuvuzelas are an effective (有效的), harmless and fun way to deal with a serious problem.38. Villagers are trying to keep away the elephants because they fear that _.A. they dont have food to feed themB. they may threaten the elephantsC. the elephants may destroy the parkD. the huge animals may attack them39. The writer thinks it _ to use the vuvuzelas to keep away the giant animals.A. safeB. harmfulC. helplessD. difficult40. The meaning of the underlined word “accept” in the last paragraph is close to “_”.A. be afraid ofB. be used toC. be pleased withD. be worried about41. Which of the following statements is true about vuvuzelas?A. Vuvuzelas were invented to keep elephants away from villagers.B. So far, vuvuzelas have been the only way to keep the elephants away.C. At present, vuvuzelas work better to keep away elephants than A-K47s.D. People in Uganda are thinking of making louder and better vuvuzelas.DTim Cook, the CEO of Apple, showed off their newest device (装置), the Apple Watch. Mr. Cook said it is the “most personal” device Apple has ever created.The Apple Watch is a very small computer a person wears on his or her wrist (手腕). An Apple Watch will be able to do many of the same things as an iPhone. It will show email, texts, news, health readings and other information. It will be different from just seeing what is on your phone.Like a phone, you will be able to receive calls on your wrist. Mr. Cook smiled while describing this. “Ive been wanting to do this since I was five years old,” he said. “The day is finally here.” Twenty years ago, a comic strip hero named Dick Tracy talked into his wrist watch, but until now, that has only been something possible in the future.The watches will be available in stores in late April. They will be sold at different prices, beginning at $349. But the high-end model will be thousands of dollars.Apple hopes to excite users so they will want to buy and wear computers on their bodies. The first smartwatches from Samsung, Sony and LG have not been selling well. Only five million smartwatches were sold last year.One problem with Apple Watch is that you need an iPhone on your body, or nearby, to make this watch fully functional. Like a phone, it will also need to be charged (充电) each night. It remains to be seen whether people really want to carry both a smartphone and a smartwatch.42. It is clear that Tim Cook _.A. was the creator of the Apple WatchB. was proud of their new productC. is a better CEO than Steve Jobs wasD. is a true fan of comic strips43.

We learn from the passage that _.A. the new device must be charged at nightB. users dont care carrying both a smartphone and a smartwatchC.
