Miranda Vickers BA Hobby is a regular activity that is done for enjoyment, typically during ones leisure（闲暇的） time. By continually taking part in a particular hobby, one can acquire practical skill and knowledge in that area. Is travel a good hobby? Travel, in the youngest sort, is a part of education and, in the elder, a part of experience. Some may think otherwise. To them, visiting churches, castles, libraries, etc. is an absolute wastage of time. They may further say that one can read the account of these or see the films of the important places of the world. They forget that touch of actuality gives a different type of sensation and satisfaction.Travelling may be an expensive hobby but it makes up for the financial loss. If a traveller has interest in life and its manifestations（表现）, one can find much to keep oneself absorbed and happy. A student of any stream can definitely find something of his own interest and studies. One can definitely find everything that satisfies his cravings for knowledge and feelings.As a hobby, travelling keeps us busy during leisure time; it is the best method to make use of time. Till a person breaks from dull routine, physically and mentally, one cannot find satisfaction. Travelling helps us to achieve this break. At a new place, one is curious to know and eager to gather all the unknown information about the place which he has neither read nor heard before and he gets thrills and surprises which keep the interest and enthusiasm alive and encourage us to keep our journey on.While travelling, one es across a number of people from varied backgrounds and places. By interacting with them, he es to know about their traditions also. In case one has psychological bent of mind, one increases ones experience and power to understand others. Understanding human nature is, perhaps, the best part of education. Travelling satisfies all demands of a good hobby-it is absorbing education and refreshment to the mind, body and soul.24. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. .The drawbacks of travel. B. Different views on travelC. The importance of touching nature. D. Differences between a hobby and travel.25. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “cravings” in the second paragraph?A. changes.B. desires.C.researches. D. problems.26. What can a person do to benefit himself both in his mind and body?A. Travel about at his rush hours. B. Stay curious to know things around every day. C.Take a break from daily routine by travelling.D. Interact with people from diverse cultures.27. What is the best title for the text?A. Travel Is a Good Hobby B. Curiosity Killed the CatC. Absorb Education & Refresh Yourself D. Stay Hungry & Never Forget Your Ambition CCrime fighters could have a new tool at hand. Researchers have developed a cutting-edge technique to identify human hair. Their test is quicker than DNA analysis techniques currently used by law enforcement. DNA testing is monly used for identificationbecause DNA is unique to each individual(个体). However, environmental and chemical processes can degrade DNA, limiting its usefulness over time. Protein (蛋白质) in hair, on the other hand, is more stable than DNA but can also have variations (变异体) that may be unique to the individual. “Our analysis process can be used universally,” says Ms. Huang. “One of our samples (样本) even included dyed hair and the test was 100 per cent accurate. The test was able to distinguish East Asians, Caucasians and South Asians”. Dr. Beauchemin says she has got in touch with law enforcement agencies about using the new technology. She is also planning to collect more hair samples and continue her research with a goal of finding where exactly in the world the hair sample is from, to look for more races and determine specific age. “We are in a very similar place with protein-based identification to where DNA testing was during the early days of its development,” said chemist Brad Hart. “This method will be a game-changer, and while weve made a lot of progress toward improving it, there are steps to go before this new technique is able to reach its full potential.” 28. Whats the main purpose of the text?A. To analyze crime scenes. B. To distinguish different races.C. To introduce a new identification method. D. To show the usefulness of DNA testing.29. Which will be the most useful in identifying a person according to Brad Hart?A.Protein in hair. B. Chemical materials. C. DNA variations. D. Blood sample.30. Whats the advantage of the protein-based identification over DNA testing?A. Security. B. Popularity. C. Stability. D. Convenience.31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph of the text?A. DNA testing will soon reach its full potential.B. Protein-based identification has replaced DNA testing. C. Protein-based identification remains to be improved.D. DNA testing develops as rapidly as protein-based identification.DSteve Brosnihan is the “resident cartoonist” at the childrens Hospital, who wanders from room to room drawing and chatting and doing whatever else he can think of to cheer up the sick children. During one visit, he was saying good night to a teenage patient when he had a bright idea.Steve told the teenager to look out of the window after he left. Outside, Steve flickered(闪烁)his bike light up toward the hospital. To his surprise, the teen responded, flickering his own room lights right back.Every night after that, Steve flickered his light, and more and more kids flickered back. When he mentioned it to a friend working at a restaurant, the owner said he wanted in too. He started to flick the restaurant sign for one minute every night at 8:30. Soon enough, the customers started joining in with flashlights and cell phones. Almost by accident, a simple gesture was changing into a powerful connection between local people and sick children.Now more than 20 groups are on board for the *:30 p.m. flicker. Every Wednesday night, police officers line up their cars and flash them.

They continue to return to the hospital to flicker a light outside in support of children who are still patients.32. Why did Steve Brosnihan flicker his bike light?A. To get light for the hospital.
