He was very hardworking, and the farm always prospered under his care. But he knew that his three sons despised the farm work , and were eager to male wealth,through adventure. When the farmer was old, and felt that his time had come to die, he called the three sons to him and said:” My sons ,there is a pot of gold hidden in the olive orchard. Dig for it ,if you wish it.” The sons tried to get him to tell them in what part of the orchard the gold was hidden, hut he would tell them nothing more. After the farmer was dead, the sons went to work to find the pot of gold. Since they did not know where the hiding-place was, they agreed to begin in a line, at one end of the orchard, and to dig until one of them should find the money. They dug until they had turned up the soil from one end of the orchard to the other, round the tree-roots and between them. but no pot of gold was to be found. It seemed as if someone must have stolen it, or as if the farmer had been wandering in his wits. The three sons were bitterly disappointed to have all their work for nothing The next olive season, the olive trees in the orchard bore more fruit than they had ever given. When it was sold, it gave the sons a whole pot of gold.

Labours Day, or Workers Day, is an international holiday that honors working men and women, and the jobs they do. During the late 1880s, in many parts of the world, people worked for fourteen to sixteen hours a day in factories, and earned very little money. In the United States and Canada, working people got together to try to make their workplaces better. These groups of people formed unions (团体). The union leaders asked company directors for shorter work days and higher salaries (工资), but many of them refused to accept their ideas. On May 1, 1886, men and women in the United States and Canada stopped work and marched through cities and towns to try and force bosses to let them work an eight-hour day. In the city of Chicago, several people died in fights with the police. Over the next few years, people in cities around the world stopped working every May 1 to honour workers everywhere. By the early twentieth century, the first of May was a national holiday in many countries. In the United States and Canada, May 1 is not a holiday. North Americans celebrate Labour Day on the first Monday in September. Today in the Unites States, Labour Day is mostly about having fun. People enjoy a long weekend, and often celebrate by having barbecues or picnics with friends or family. In many parts of the Unites States, Labour Day is also the last day of summer vacation, and the students return to school the next day.26. People celebrate Labour Day to honour .

D First it was jogging. Then aerobics（有氧运动）. Not too long ago, Americans discovered race walking.Now Americans are into a new fitness craze. Theyre taking up bicycling. Over hills and down mountainsides and across quiet country roads, Americans are busily rolling along.The number of adults who ride for fitness is around 17 million, an increase of 70 percent over four years ago. Twice as many women as men are coming to the sport. Americans are falling in love with biking because it has speed, the benefits of jogging and beautiful scenery.Bicycling is a very appropriate sport, which is important to people who injured their knees while jogging or whose joints are aching from aerobics. And biking is a real awakening for people who have been into race walking in the past. Race walking is as dull as watching paint dry.The most popular kind of bicycle for people who are new to the sport is the mountain bike, which has a fixed frame with wide tires and upright handles. Mountain bikes also have many gears（齿轮） to make it easier to climb hills. About 5 million Americans ride mountain bikes, compared with 200,000 who rode them only five years ago.Costs range from about 130 for a bottom-of-the-line bicycle to more than 2,700 for an expensive bicycle.Mountain biking has attracted some people who race down the sides of mountains like a bat out of hell. But most riders ride slowly and they rarely venture far from home.The biking craze has brought an unexpected profit（盈利） to clothing and bicycle accessory（附属品）makers. Last year, bikers paid 630 million for biking clothes and accessories.Bicycling seems likely to continue its fantastic growth.( )35.

That is according to a study published this Monday in the PublicLibrary of Science Medicine Journal. After tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45-79 years in the United Kingdom from about 1993-2007, Kay-Tee, Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived an average of 14 years longer than those who didnt. Weve known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but weve not seen this benefit before, said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britains Medical Research Council.The benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and what social class they came from. Study participants (参与者) scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake. Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changes. But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviours would surely gain 14 years. We cant say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things, said Doctor Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization. The 14 years is an average across thepopulation of whats theoretically (理论上) possible. Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking is not good for them, Susan Jebb said,We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change.( )39. Which of the following doesnt belong to the four healthy habits?A. Eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. B. Doing proper exercise in the morning every day. C. Drinking alcohol in the proper amount every day.D. Having a cigarette before going to bed every day.( )40. We can learn from the passage that _. A. Susan Jebb did not take part in the study B. the study observed people as well as tested specific changes C. there is no need for people under 45 adopt these good habits D. only those from first class can benefit from these healthy behaviours( )41. What can be inferred from the passage?A. All the people are well aware of the harm of their bad habits. B. People aged 45-79 have bad habits in the United Kingdom. C. Governments should take measures to help people change their bad habits. D. People have adopted the four healthy habits after knowing theyre good.( )42. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Smoking and Drinking Cuts You 14 Years B. How to Live a Much Healthier LifeC. How to Make Your Life Longer Than OthersD. Healthy Habits May Give Extra 14 Years FMost people, when they travel to space, would like to stay in orbit for a few days of more. And this stands to reason,if youre paying $20,000 for your trip to orbit! Strain order for tourism to reach its full potential theres going to be a need for orbital accommodation-or space hotels. What would a space hotel actually be like to visit? Hotels in orbit will offer the services you expect from a hotel-private rooms, meals, bars. But theyll also offer two unique experiences: impressive views-of Earth and space-and the endless entertainment of living in zero gravity-including sports and other activities that make use ofthis. The hotels themselves will vary greatly-from being quite simple in the early days to huge luxury structure at a later date. Its actually surprising that as later as 1997, very few designs for space hotels were published. This is mainly because those who might be expected to design them havent expected launch costs to come down far enough to make them possible. Lots of people whove been to space have described vividly what its like to live in zero gravity. There are obviously all sort of possibilities for dancing, gymnastics, and zero-G sports. Luckily, you dont need to sleep much living in zero gravity, so youll have plenty of time for relaxing by hanging out in a bar with a window looking down at the turning Earth below. Of course all good things have come to an end. Unfortunately, And so after a few days youll find yourself heading back enough youll be much more expert at exercising in zero gravity than you were when you arrived. Youll be thinking how soon you can save up enough to get back up again-or maybe you should change jobs to get to work in an orbiting hotel.( )43. When traveling in space, most people would like to stay in orbit for a few days because _.A. It is expensive to travel in space B. they would find the possible life in other star systems C. they could enjoy the luxury of space hotels D. they want to realize the full potential of tourism( )44. Which of the following is a unique experience that space hotels will offer?A. The gravitational pull B. The special views.C. The relaxation in a bar.D. The space walk.( )45. Which of the following is NOT discussed in the passage?A. When was the space traveling made possible? B. What are the unique experiences that space hotels will offer? C. Why were there not many published designs for space hotels?D. How can the travelers enjoy themselves in space hotels?、完形填空：（每小题1分，满分20分）Peter and Paul had a permission from their parents to camp in a field close to their farm. But, being
