practice and travel around the world in a year. whats more, id do it without taking any flights or making a single advance (预先的) reservation. some friends offered support and encouragement, while others were doubtful. once id said the words, there was no turning back. it took months to shut down my law practice and get things in order.there really wasnt any great reason why i wanted to circle the world. i simply wanted to do something fun and different. when i had this plan, i didnt plan for it to lead to a life on the road forever. i was planning to come back, open a new law practice and write a hugely successful book about my travels. before i left, i started a travel blog, which served as a way to take notes for the book.once i set off on my trip in december 2008, i found that travelling without using planes was not easy. it took seven days and nights on trains to get from moscow to beijing. sometimes, i wouldnt see a village or a human being for 10 hours. i had a whole cabin to myself from the second day of that journey.it turned out that travelling with no reservations was far less difficult than i had imagined. pulling into a city on a bus with a bag, looking in a guidebook for a few suggestions of accommodations (住宿), and then finding an empty room was never a problem.soon after i started this adventure, i realized that my return to the us would be temporary (暂时的). about three months into my journey, i realized that i didnt want to go back to my old life. the world is so wonderful and i wanted to see as much of it as i could.24. whats the authors friends

in advance.d.finding a place for his law practice.27. what would the author probably do after returning to the us? a.start a travel blog.b.go back to his old life.c.prepare for another trip.d.be a temporary worker.ca nations humor is linked to the historical development of the country. how funny somebody finds a certain thing depends on many things including ages, personal experiences, levels of education and locations. therefore, humor is something that is not always transferable (可转移的) in another country.what about when both countries speak the same mother tongue? does that mean they will then share the same sense of humor, or can differences still take place? lets take the example of britain and america. time and time again, people say that brits and americans dont get each others sense of humor. it is often argued that one of the most common differences between the british and american sense of humor is that americans dont understand irony (反话). simon pegg explores this topic in depth in his article what are you laughing at? he concludes that this statement isnt true and i agree with him.in fact, brits use irony on a daily basis while americans dont. i think americans understand british irony (most of the time anyway); what they dont understand is the need to use it so frequently. when americans use irony, they tend to say that they are only kidding. they feel the need to make a joke more obvious than brits do. maybe this comes from a fear of offending (冒犯) people.the american sense of humor is generally more slapstick (闹剧的) than that in britain. i think this arises from a cultural difference between the two. their jokes are more obvious and forward, a bit like americans themselves. british jokes, on the other hand, tend to be more subtle. this may stem from the fact that british culture is more reserved (矜持的) than american culture.28. what does paragraph 1 mainly show? a.humor is difficult to get.b.humor is influenced by culture.c.not all people have a sense of humor.d.it is important to have a sense of humor.29. what is the authors point of view in paragraph 2? a.americans dont get brits humor.b.americans know how to use irony.c.simon pegg is professional in using irony.d.britain and america share the same sense of humor.30. what can we learn about brits and americans from paragraph 3? a.americans jokes often offend people.b.brits irony is not easy to understand.c.they are different in how often to use irony.d.they are not sure about the need to use irony.31. what does the underlined word subtle mean? a.hiddenb.funnyc.obviousd.specialda new study, a project of the researchers from the university of pittsburgh in pennsylvania, finds the fitness tracker probably does not help with weight loss.the devices are designed to record your physical activity. they are usually worn around the wrist, where they measure a persons heart rate. the research team looked at two groups of individuals. the first wore a fitness tracker and took part in health counseling (咨询) with experts to consider the best weight-loss plan. the researchers compared this group with people who only got health counseling.the study found that those only speaking with the health experts lost nearly 6 kilograms, but those using a fitness tracker lost only 3.5 kilograms. john jakicic, the lead researcher, questioned the use of electronic devices for weight control in place of effective behavioral counseling for physical activity and diet.the study involved 470 subjects aged between 18 and 35. some of them were overweight, while others were considered obese (肥胖的). over three fourths of the subjects were women. all the subjects were told to increase physical activity and start on a low-calorie diet. they had their weight measured once every six months. after six months, researchers divided the group into two parts: one continued with monthly counseling, while members of the other group were given a fitness tracker. eighteen months later, both groups showed significant improvements in fitness, physical activity, and diet, with no major difference between groups. however, when it came to losing weight, the people who only spoke with experts lost nearly twice as much weight.jakicic said, the studys findings are important because effective long-term treatments are needed to address americas obesity. more information is needed, he added, to learn how to best use these devices to change physical activity and diet behaviors in adults who want to lose weight.32. all the subjects in the study were asked to _. a.start on a high-calorie dietb.wear a fitness trackerc.increase physical activitiesd.record their heart rates33. why does jakicic think the findings are important? a.wearing fitness trackers hardly helps people lose weight.b.physical activity and diet have no effect on weight loss.c.handling obesity requires effective long-term treatments.d.there are great differences in fitness between both groups.34. what can we infer about the study mentioned in the text? a.the study went on for about two years.b.more than 120 men took part in the study.c.health counseling helps lose almost 6 kilograms.d.wearing a fitness tracker is useful for keeping slim.35. the purpose of the text is to _. a.describe how the researchers were conducting the studyb.indicate regular counseling for weight control is necessaryc.convince readers to wear fitness trackers for weight controld.warn women are more likely to suffer from weight
