20、 were no snakes in the way. The area being 42 , I shouted to them to lower away, and at that moment 43 things happened.

21、pit, with no light and no shoe on one foot, 48 by seven or eight deadly Baboon snakes. I had never been more 49 . I had to wait in the dark, without daring to move while my friends 50 the lamp out, lit it again and lowered it into the pit again. With plenty of light and both shoes on, I felt much 51

22、 and began with the task of catching snakes. This was really easy enough. I had a 52 stick in my hand, and with this I came near each snake, pinned it down with the fork and then picked it up by the back of the neck, and put it into my snake bag. What I had to 53 out for was that while I was busy ca

But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map

27、, while others can lose themselves in the next street?Scientists say were all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool U

28、niversity supports this idea and suggests that if we dont use it, we lose it.“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, research director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the

29、 skills.”Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:l If you are using a map, turn it so that it relates to the way you are facing.l If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near some

30、thing like a big stone or a treesomething easy to recognize. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route. l Simplify the way for finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or wells in the countryside to guide

31、 you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.Now you will never get lost again!56. Scientists believe that _.A. some babies are born with a sense of directionB. people learn a sense of dire

32、ction as they grow olderC. people never lose their sense of directionD. everybody has a sense of direction from birth57. What is true of 7-year-old children according to the passage?A. They never have a sense of direction without maps.B. They should never be allowed out alone if they lack a sense of

33、 direction.C. They have a sense of direction and can find their way around.D. They can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car.58. If you leave your bike in a strange place, you should _.A. tie it to a tree so as to prevent it from being stolenB. draw a map of the route

34、to help remember where it isC. avoid taking the same route when you come back to itD. remember something easily recognizable on the route59. According to the passage, the best way to find your way around is to _.A. ask policemen or other people around for directionsB. use wells, streams, and streets

35、 to guide yourselfC. remember your route by looking out for steps and stairsD. count the number of landmarks that you seeBYoung men often give flowers to young women when they are in love. This tradition may have come from Turkey. In the 1700s in Turkey, it was quite popular for people in love to se

36、nd each other baskets full of strange things. The baskets were delivered secretly to the person who was receiving it. Usually, an old woman who sold flowers or fruit on the street left the basket beside the persons door. These baskets included a variety of “gifts”: flowers, stones, feathers, wax, an

37、d even charcoal. Each thing in the basket had a special meaning. By figuring out the secret message contained in each item, the person who received the basket began to understand little by little the true feeling of the person who sent it. This idea of sending gifts of love with secret meanings quic

38、kly spread to Germany, France, and England. However, as time passed, only flowers remained popular. An innocent bunch of flowers told young ladies about the feeling in the hearts of young men. Each different flower held a different meaning. For example, the flowers from an orange tree meant, “You ar

39、e beautiful and pure.” Pink carnations meant, “My love for you is strong and great.” Yellow roses, on the other hand, meant, “I saw you with someone else.” Many flower dictionaries were made to help young people in love understand the meaning of the flowers they received. Not all of the dictionaries

40、 agreed, however, on the meaning of each flower, so a person had to be careful about the flowers they chose to send. By the 1880s, using flowers to send messages had fallen out of fashion, and the more direct way of sending love letters began. Today, flowers are still considered a lovely gift, but t

41、he meaning for each kind of flower has been lost.60. What did the items in the basket explain to the receiver? A. The receivers appearance.B. The senders emotions. C. The feeling of the receiver.D. The love between them.61. If a French young man of the 1850s wanted to send his beloved girl a gift, h

42、e would probably choose . A. flowers and feathersB. yellow roses C. pink carnationsD. nothing except a love letter62. The text suggests that . A. Turks still keep their tradition of sending baskets B. flower dictionaries were made to help young ladies C. people still use flowers to send secret messa

43、ges D. people dont use flower dictionaries any longer63. What is likely to be the title of this text? A. Say it with FlowersB. Flowers and SecretsC. Strange TraditionD. Love for FlowersCMother Knows Best?Once while being prepared for a television interview, I was chatting with the host about stay-at

44、-home fathers. I made the point that one reason were seeing more stay-at-home dads may be that its no longer a given (a known fact) that a man makes more money than his wife. Many families now take earning power into account when deciding which parent will stay home.At that point, one of the male cr

45、ew members commented, almost to himself but loud enough for my benefits, “It should be the better parent who stays at home”. A lot of guys say things like that.I was a stay-at-home father for eight years, so what he said made me excited.It implied that our familys choice could only have been correct

46、 if I was a “better” parent than my wife.I think men shoot themselves in the foot with this kind of thinking. I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying home my wife was the “better” parent: she had spent more time with our son, could read him better and calm him more quick

47、ly. And given a choice, hed have picked her over me. But as she was the more employable one, my wife went out to work and I looked after our son.Know what? I caught up. Because of the increased time I spent with him, I soon knew him well, understood what he needed and could look after him more or le

48、ss as my wife could. Actually, the experience helped me unlock one of the worlds great secrets: Women are good at looking after the children because they do it. Its not because of any born female gift or a mothers instinctwhich I think is mostly learned anyway. Its because they put in the time and a

49、ttention required to become good at the job.Women obviously get a biological head start from giving birth and nursing, but over the long term experience is more important. When I got the experience myself, I was good, too. As good? I dont know. Who cares? Children are not made of glass. Other people

50、 are capable of looking after them besides Mom.64.Which of the following does the first paragraph imply?A. Men are no longer given the chance to stay at home as they used to.B. In some families the wives are earning more than their husbands.C. The author is telling the readers that he works in the T

Which of the following is the authors conclusion drawn at the end?A. He is better than

53、 his wife at taking care of children.B. He is as good as his wife at taking care of children.C. Either fathers or mothers can take care of children.D. Both fathers and mothers cannot take care of children.D There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed i

54、s unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do. In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers an

55、d girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world. What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship,

56、mechanics, and technology. It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the word and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, America, China, Japan and among the Arctic(北极的) people, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations depended on local customs and way of life because toys imitate their surrounding. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldier
