It reminds us of a lot of excitement.Zheng He , the Columbus of the
2、 east, was an amazing man. He was born in 1371 and, 11 years later, was caught by the army of a rich young man called Zhu Di and made to word for him. Over time the rich man saw that Zheng He was very clever and strong and they became close friends. In 1403, Zhu Di was made the king of China and ask
3、ed Zheng He to join his new government.The King wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power. He ordered many new ships to be built and made Zheng He the leader. Between 1405 and 1433, he led seven sea ships to different parts of the world. He certainly traveled to India,
4、Africa and the Middle East. Some people insist that his ships may have even reached South Africa and Australia.Each trip lasted between two and four years and it is believed he sailed more than 50,000 kilometers during his travels. With 28,000 men and over 300 ships, such as boats for food, water an
5、d even soldiers horses, Zheng He led a fleet whose size would not be equaled by Europeans for over 500 years.On these trips, he brought with him many Chinese goods like silk and medicine to give to the foreign kings or to sell for local goods. He returned from each trip with boats filled with expens
6、ive things such as gold and jewellery, foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe.It is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng Hes travels. After he died in 1433, the new king, who thought these trips were unlucky and cost too much, had them stopped and he burned almost all the
7、 books about Zheng Hes travels.

His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying
11、out the rubbish and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of
12、 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence ( 能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George Vaillant, the p
13、sychologist ( 心理学家) who made the discovery, “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillants study followed these males in great detail. Inter views were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the mens mental-health scores with th
14、eir boyhood-activity scores. Scores were given to such things as part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had down as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were
15、 twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working at any age
16、 is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence the underpinnings ( 基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do
17、this. Yet work isnt everything. As Tolstoy once said “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love ones work.”What do we know about John?He enjoyed his career and marriage.He had few childhood playmates.He received li
18、ttle love from his family.He was envied by others in his childhood.Vaillants words in Paragraph 2 serve as .a description of personal values and social valuesan analysis of how work was related to competencean example for parents expectations of their childrenan explanation why some boys grew into h
19、appy menVaillants team obtained their findings by .recording the boys effort in schoolevaluating the mens mental healthcomparing different sets of scoresmeasuring the mens problem-solving abilityWhat does the underlined word “sharp” probably mean in Paragraph 4?quick to reacthaving a thin edgeclear
20、and definitesudden and rapidWhat can be inferred from the last paragraph?Competent adults know more about love than work.Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.Love brings more joy to people than work does.Independence is the key to ones success.Passage ThreeAlthough some traditiona
21、l meals in Britain, like roast beef and pudding or fish and chips, remain popular, there had been a significant change in eating habits among the population over the last ten years or so. The increase in the consumption of rice and pasts may be partly responsible for the decline ( 下降) in that of pot
22、atoes. The consumption of meat with the exception of that of poultry ( 禽类) which is now at a record level has also fallen. Skimmed milk now constitutes more than half of the total household consumption of liquid milk. There has been a decline in the total consumption of cooking and spreading fats, w
