There is a High Peaks region consisting of 46 mountains in New York. A mountain club gives special _1_ to anyone who climbs all the 46 mountains. My two friends decided to go for this award. The mountains were really _2_ to climb. It took them several years to _3_ it. My friends had climbed 45 of the mountains, and the last one was the most _4_ and the highest. Early one morning they left their _5_ site and walked five miles on the hiking path to the base of a chain of mountains. When they reached the _6_, they found that they had left their map and _7_ in the camp. Rather than _8_ to the camp, they decided to navigate without them. Finally, they reached the top of a mountain. They are _9_ but extremely happy. However, the _10_ lasted only for a short time. When they looked around, they saw another _11_ mountain. They had climbed the wrong mountain! Due to the mistake, they had to wait for another four months to climb the right mountain. I think this story tells an important _12_: often in life we put great _13_ into some of our goals, but without the right map and compass, it is easy to get lost. Knowing your _14_ in life gives you a powerful map and compass, ensuring you are always climbing the _15_ mountain. 1. A. award B. organization C. administration D. instruction 2.

Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway， wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved. I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics. It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back. From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time. The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug(拥抱). I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car. I looked forward to the return journey.26.

This is no vacation .you have to finish something! Here lies the problem for travel writer and food critic(评论家)Edie Jarolim. “I always loved traveling and always liked to eat, but it never occurred to me that I could make money doing both of those things.” Jarolim said. Now you can read her travel advice everywhere in Arts and Antiques, in Brides, or in one of her three books, The Complete Idiot Travel Guide to Mexicos Beach Resorts. Her job in travel writing began some eight years ago. After getting a PhD in English in Canada, she took a test for Frommers travel guides, passed it, and got the job. After working at Frommers, Jarolim worked for a while at Rough Guides in London， then Fodors, where she fell so in love with a description of the Southwest of the US that she moved there. Now as a travel writer, she spends one-third of her year on the road. The rest of the time is spent completing her tasks and writing reviews of restaurants at home in Tucson, Arizona.As adventurous as the job sounds, the hard part is fact-checking all the information. Sure, its great to write about a tourist attraction, but youd better get the local museum hours correct or you could really ruin someones vacation.As adventurous as the job sounds, the hard part is fact-checking all the information.

Following the rules .planning your next move .acting as a team member .these are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life. Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating. Many childrens games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones, which sharpens the hand-eye coordination(协调)needed in hunting. Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags， knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much. Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it-some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future. Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.36.

Sports increase a countrys competitiveness.DSports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment. Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas. There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You dont need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you dont have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly， it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control. Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, its free.41. Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?A. Cycling around a lake.B. Motor racing in the desert.C. Playing basketball in a gym.D. Swimming in a sports center.42. What do we know about golf from the passage?A. It is popular in Portugal and Spain.B.
