Achange your ideas of jobs when necessaryBstick to your first idea of jobs Cnot talk about payment for workDtalk about your own interestCIt may be hard in modern times to imagine life without access to lights at nightBut at the foot of big mountains in Mexico, the native Huichol (墨西哥一少数民族) people live in much the same way their ancestors did without electricityThats because its too expensive to string power lines to such mountainous areas. To help support themselves, the Huichol create beautiful artwork, including paintings made from yarn (纱线)They sell their art in cities hundreds of miles awayBut without electricity at home or on the road, they can only work during daylight hours. “We have to stop whatever were doing when it gets dark,” says Miquel Carillo, leader of the Huichol peopleHe explains the sales of their artwork are essential to their life, where farming is difficult and crops often fail“So we just wait for the sun to come up again.”Now, a team of scientists is using new technologies to help the Huichol outWith special textiles(纺织原料) known as “Portable Lights”, people just have to weave tiny electronic crystals(晶体) into fabrics(织物) that can be made into clothes, bags, or othersBy collecting the suns energy during the day, these lightweight textiles give off light at night.A new type of solar panel is only 10 inches long and 5 inches wideIt is used to collect solar energy into a lithium ion(锂离子) battery-the type of battery found in laptops and cell phonesAfter just 3 hours of sunlight, the battery has enough charge to power a portable light for 10 hours.Now “Portable Lights” have become a pattern in the bags of Huichol people and the researcherscant keep up with demand.On the other side of the world, in the Central Australian desert, researchers was working to bring Portable Light to the Arrernte people, who travel across the desert without electricityOne goal is to use the technology to power cell phones that teachers in local schools can use to download lesson plansThat way, kids wont have to travel to cities to get an education.59The native Huichol people dont get access to electricity because _. Athey live among mountainsBthey want to follow tradition Cthey cant afford itDthey are used to working at night60Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?AThe lack of light prevent Huichol people from improving their economy.BThe tiny electronic crystals make the “Portable Lights” give off light at night.CThe “Portable Lights” can be better powered with the help of a new type of solar panel.DLaptops are powered by a kind of battery charged from solar energy.61From the underlined sentence in paragraph 6, we can infer that _. AWith so many Huichol people using “Portable Lights”, the type of lights are now in great need. B“Portable Lights” are now playing an important role in developing education in the mountainous areas. C“Portable Lights” are now playing an important role in developing transportation in the mountainous areas. D“Portable Lights” are now in great demand since so many people regard them as such a fashion.62What can we learn about the Arrente people from the passage? AThe Arrerne people try to make their living by selling beautiful artworks. BWithout access to lights, the Arrernte people are still living a hard life. CNow many kids travel to cities to receive a better education. DBy using “Portable Lights”, traveling has now become much easier for the people.DThere are many theories about the beginning of drama（戏剧） in ancient GreeceThe one most widely accepted today is based on the assumption that drama evolved（演化） from ritualThe argument for this view goes as followsIn the beginning, human beings viewed the natural forces of the worldeven the seasonal changesas unpredictable, and they sought through various means, to control these unknown and feared powersThose measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then retained and repeated until they hardened into fixed ritualsEventually stories arose which explained or veiled the mysteries of the ritesAs time passed some rituals were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths, persisted and provided material for art and dramaThose who believed that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rites contained the seed of theater because music, dance, masks, and costumes（戏服） were almost always usedFurthermore, a suitable site had to be provided for performances, and when the entire community did not participate, a clear division was usually made between the acting area and the auditorium（观众席）In addition, there were performers, and, since considerable importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the enactment of rites, religious leaders usually assumed that taskWearing masks and costumes, they often impersonated other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed the desired effect-success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun-as an actor mightEventually such dramatic representations were separated from religious activities Another theory traces（追溯）the theaters origin from the human interest in storytellingAccording to this view, tales (abou
