23、烫) is one extreme sport that youve probably never heard of.

It combines (使结合) danger and excitement with pr

24、actical ironing.Who does extreme ironing? People all over the world who like danger do it. There are about 1,000 people around the world who do extreme ironing. There are extreme ironing clubs and groups in Britain, Germany, South Africa, New Zealand and the United States. In fact, anyone can do it.

25、 However, it is better to start ironing in our backyard before you start to iron on top of a mountain.There are, of course, some rules in extreme ironing. The ironing must be outdoors. You must take an iron, an ironing board, and something that you actually iron to get the wrinkles (皱褶) out. Outdoor

26、s includes faraway and unusual places, such as on top of a mountain, while skiing, snowboarding, skydiving, or under water. The more unusual, the better. However, you should plan carefully because the weather conditions can suddenly change on mountains, for example. You should not do extreme ironing

27、 on your own.What kind of things should you have? You must have a real travel iron. You must not use plastic or toy irons. The clothes you iron must be at least the size of a hand towel. It shouldnt be just a handkerchief (手帕). The board doesnt have to be a full-size board, but that is preferred. It

28、 must be one meter long and thirty centimeters wide and have legs.People have already ironed near the top of Qomolangma, the highest mountain in the world, and in the Blue Hole in Egypt, one of the most dangerous places to dive.

Come.”We run quickly over the moor(荒野).

32、We hear one last cry. A man is lying on the ground. As we approach(靠近) we see the dead body of Sir Henry Baskerville. He is wearing his brown suit.“Oh, no!” says Holmes, “This man has a beard!”Indeed Selden is dead instead of Sir Henry.“So it is all clear to me. I remember that Sir Henry gave his ol

33、d suit to Barrymore, and Barrymore probably gave it to Seldenhis wifes brother.”“Then Selden is dead because of this suit,” says Holmes.“Think, Watson! Someone gives the hound some of Sir Henrys clothesprobably the boot from the hotel in London. The hound picks up Sir Henrys scent and runs after thi

34、s poor man.”Suddenly we see Stapleton walking towards us. He says, “There was a strange noise. I was worried about Sir Henry. I wanted to check if he was all right.”“Really?” asks Holmes.Stapleton looks at Holmes. “Why, it is Mr Sherlock Holmes, the famous detective! Can you solve the mystery of the

35、 Hound of the Baskervilles?”Holmes shrugs his shoulders,“We cannot solve every mystery. Anyway I will return to London tomorrow.”“Oh, will you return to London tomorrow?”“Yes.”So Holmes and I walk off to Baskerville Hall and Stapleton walk to his home.Holmes thinks Stapleton is dangerous. But we hav

36、e no proof that Stapleton is the murderer. “There are no marks on Sir Charless body. We know that he died of fright, but we cant prove anything.”“Things are becoming clear to me,” Holmes says to Sir Henry. “Its a very difficult case. And you must help me to catch this hound.”We are surprised to see

37、one portrait(画像) of a thin man is Sir Hugo, the first victim of the Hound of the Baskervilles. And hes like both Sir Henry and Stapleton. “Stapleton is a Baskerville,” replies Holmes. “So he wants to inherit(继承) the Baskerville fortune, and he,” I say. Its an important clue.1The underlined word “sce

38、nt” in Paragraph 7 probably means “”.AtasteBbootCsuitDsmell.2We can infer(推断) from the passage that .ASir Henry tells Holmes that Stapleton is a BaskervilleBStapleton wants to murder Sir Henry indeedCWatson finds out that Selden is Mrs Stapletons brotherDStapleton kills Selden by frightening him wit

39、h the hound3Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AHolmes and Watson think Mr Barrymore murders Selden.BHolmes doesnt catch Stapleton because he has no proof.CHolmes and Watson find the dead body of Stapleton on the moor one night.DHolmes tells Stapleton that he and Watson are goin

This means that when they dont know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. They may lose face

41、in public. After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid (消除) them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously (冒险地).One day soon after school had started, I said to them, Now I would like you to read a lot

42、 of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. ! am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, thats enough for me. Also Im not going to ask you what words mean.

43、The children sat amazed and silent. Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, Mr Holt, do you really mean that? I said ju

44、st as seriously, I mean every word of it.During the .spring she really surprised me. One day, she was reading Moby Dick (白鲸) at her desk. I said. Dont you find parts of it rather heavy going? She answered, Oh, sure, but I just skip over (略过) those parts and go on to the next good part.This is exactl

45、y what reading should be. an exciting, joyous adventure.

What could be making such a loud noise so late in the evening? He had trouble falling asleep

50、and turned all night long dreaming about the noisy monster in the barn. When Bobby woke the next morning, he ran to the barn to discover what caused the loud noise last night. Bobby was baffled. He could not figure out what would make such a noise. That evening after dinner, Bobby gathered his coura

51、ge, held a flashlight and headed out to the barn.“Where are you going?” Bobbys father asked as Bobby made his way through the kitchen to the back door.“I am going to find the monster in the barn that was making such a noise last night,” Bobby replied bravely.“If you are going to look for a monster,

52、you might need some help,” Bobbys dad responded as he walked with Bobby out to the barn.“What did this monster sound like?” Bobbys dad asked.“It was a screeching noise,” Bobby said, “and it was coming from the barn. I know it!” Bobbys dad began to smile as they went near the barn, and he took the fl

53、ashlight from Bobby. Shining the flashlight up at the roof of the barn, Bobby and his dad saw a small brown owl in the roof.“It was only a barn owl that you heard last night,” Bobbys dad said. “They are active in the night so that is why you only heard him at night. He must have been hunting.”Bobby

54、was relieved that it wasnt really a monster. He thanked his dad as they walked back to the house.

My mother washed aluminum foil（铝箔纸）after she cooked in it, and

57、then she reused it. She was the earliest recycle（回收）queen before people had a name for it My father was no different. He preferred getting old shoes fixed to -buying new ones. Their marriage was good and their dreams were focused（集中）Their best friends lived just a wave away. Though my parents have p

58、assed away, I can see them now - Dad in trousers, a T-shirt and a hat and Mom in a house dress, lawnmower（割草机）in one hand and dishtowel in the other. It was the time to fix things -a curtain rod(挂帘杆),the kitchen radio, the screen door, the oven door, and so on. They fixed all things we had. It was a

59、 way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy. All that re-fixing and renewing made me want to scream.1 wanted just once to be wasteful. Waste meant being rich. Throwing things away meant you knew thered always be more. I often thought like that. But then my mother died, and on that clear summer nigh

60、t, in the warmth of the hospital room, I learned that sometimes there isnt any more. Sometimes, what we care about most gets all used up and goes away and it will never return. So, while we have it, it is the best that we love it, care for it, fix it when its broken and cure it when its sick.This is
