in the woods on a tour, i sleep like a baby, falling asleep with the music of insects. in the morning, i am awakened by the cheeps of birds. i eat a snack before getting up, and then i quickly pack my sleeping bag, air mattress (垫), tent, and other things and get on with my road. im slower in the morning, having less speed but a greater desire to stop at pleasant spots and enjoy the beautiful scenery. traveling by bike allows me to stop anywhere, such as grasslands, lakes, woods, and scenic spots. near lunch, i find a small grocery and buy some bread, sandwiches and fruit. then i will find a town park or other shady spots to wait out the high mid-day sun. in the afternoon, my speeds are higher, and i spend less time on stops. in the late afternoon, i start riding more slowly, and i start thinking about where i will stop. i finally find a place in the early evening, cook a simple meal and have a rest. as it starts to get dark, i put up my tent, crawl in and fall asleep. there are exciting times and difficult times as well. visiting strange or famous places and accomplishing goals are always exciting to me. i meet and talk with interesting people along the way, sometimes other traveling cyclists. appreciating beautiful views, meeting wild animals, and traveling up and down hills also stir me up. on the other hand, i may run into a rainy or hot spell(一段时间), have to repair my bike, or just find myself in a bad mood. the problems are infrequent and are easy to deal with. the pleasures remain in my mind for years.26. we can learn from the passage that the author can have a

siblings (兄弟姐妹) can turn out so differently? one answer is that in fact each sibling grows upin a different family. the firstborn is, for a while, an only child, and therefore has a completely different experience of the parents than those born later. the next child is, for a while, the youngest, until the situation is changed by a new arrival. the mother and father themselves are changing and growing up too. one sibling might live in a stable and close family in the first few years; another might be raised in a family crisis, with a disappointed mother or an angry father.sibling competition was identified as an important shaping force as early as in 1918. but more recently, researchers have found many ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting force in each otherslives. dr. annette henderson says firstborn children pick up vocabulary more quickly than their siblings. the reason for this might be that the later children arent getting the same one- on- one time with parents. but that doesnt mean that the younger children have problems with language development. later- borns dont enjoy that much talking time with parents, but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and sisters, learning entire phrases and getting an understanding of social concepts such as the difference between “i” and “me”.a cambridge university study of 140 children found that siblings created a rich world of play that helped them grow socially. love- hate relationships were common among the children. even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive communication as the other sibling pairs.one way children seek more attention from parents is by making themselves different from their siblings, particularly if they are close in age. researchers have found that the first two children in a family are typically more different from each other than the second and third. girls with brothers show their differences to a maximum degree by being morefeminine than girls with sisters. a 2003 research paper studied adolescents from 185 families over two years, finding that those who changed to make themselves different from their siblings were successful in increasing the amount of warmth they gained from their parents.1. the underlined part “in a different family” (in para. 1) means _.a. in a different family environmentb. in a different family traditionc. in different family crisesd. in different families2. in terms of language development, later- borns_ .a. get their parentsindividual guidanceb. learn a lot from their elder siblingsc. experience a lot of difficultiesd. pick up words more quickly3. what was found about fights among siblings?a. siblings hated fighting and loved playing.b. siblings in some families fought frequently.c. sibling fights led to bad sibling relationships.d. siblings learned to get on together from fights.4. the word“feminine” (in para. 4) means _.a. having qualities of parentsb. having qualities of womenc. having defensive qualitiesd. having extraordinary qualities【参考答案】29.abdb阅读理解-(2011重庆卷，d)william butler yeats, a most famous irish writer, was born in dublin on june 13,1865. his
