It might take several weeks or _36_ months to travel from one country to another. This was not very good. Then just over one hundred years ago, the Wright brothers made the first airplane. When others learned about the Wright brothers _37_, they started thinking of ways to make airplanes go farther and faster. The age of air travel _38_. The first passenger airplane started flying people from one city in Florida to another just eleven years after the Wright brothers flight. By that time, there were thousands of small airplanes that could hold one or two people. But these small airplanes could not fly very far. They _39_ come back down to the ground many times _40_ a long flight. It was still hard to travel across the ocean using these airplanes. Twenty years _41_ the first flight by the Wright brothers, larger airplanes made it possible for more people to fly from country to country. People thought it was wonderful to travel to another country in only a day or two instead of weeks. At that time, a flight across the Atlantic Ocean from the United States to Europe _42_ only twenty-nine hours. About twenty years after that, jet airplanes (喷气式飞机) were introduced. These airplanes could travel much faster and did not have to _43_ many times. Airplanes kept getting faster and faster, and flight times became shorter and shorter. Today, it is possible to travel from the United States to Europe in only eight hours. _44_, faster airplanes have already been built, but these super fast jets are not used _45_ they cost too much money.

Some of them will go to watch a swimming contest. Hundreds of players including some students swim across the Orinoco River. It is a test of action, quality (品质) and power. The contest is held in the Orinoco River and it is one of the longest rivers in South America. The contest is held every year and has become a tradition in Venezuela. About 900 people signed up for it and 805 took part in it this year. The players had to swim across the muddy water of the Orinoco. The 805 men and women entered the 3.1-kilometre contest, and 520 of them reached the end after fighting the current (水流) of the river. Others were pushed too far by the waves and had to be picked up by boats. Swimmers said the fast moving waves made the event difficult. Just getting across is a challenge (挑战), said Rene Alvarez, a 41-year-old player who joined in the contest for the fifth time and finished to be the second in his age class. I like it because its an event thats never the same. Sometimes the river was gentle and it was not so hard to get across. But this year the Orinoco was very, very strong, Alvarez said.

She was sent to her uncles. Her uncle has a son named Colin. Mary was once a selfish (自私的) girl. She cared about nobody else except herself and she was always alone. She started to know the word friend after she met Dickson, the gardeners son. The little boy was very kind to Mary. They went to the Secret Garden every day, planting and playing. Mary never expected that making the garden beautiful would bring such a wonderful feeling to her. She was so happy to be with Dickson that she almost forgot all the sad things around her. After meeting Colin, Mary finally found the very person to take care of. Colin, the sick boy, couldnt even walk. Before he met Mary, he was taken care of by the servants, but no one really cared about how he was. He couldnt find any reason to live. But Mary came.

A group of twenty-nine experts from twelve countries developed the report. These scientists examined more than fifty medical studies about tobacco smoking. The group says that tobacco use is the largest cause of many cancers around the world. Experts say that more than one thousand million people around the world smoke tobacco. The report says that half of all people who smoke cigarettes will die from diseases caused by smoking tobacco. These include cancers (癌) of the stomach, lung (肺), liver (肝), kidney (肾) and blood. The report also says tobacco use causes an even greater number of deaths from lung disease, heart disease and the stroke. The report states other kinds of tobacco use also increase the chances of developing cancers of the lung, head and neck. The report also says that people who smoke do harm to the health of non-smokers who breathe in second-hand tobacco smoke. These non-smokers are breathing in a smaller amount of cancer-causing things than active smokers get. But it is still enough to cause deadly lung cancer. However, the scientists found no increased risk of cancer among children who breathe in this second-hand smoke. But they say they do not know the long-term influence (影响) of tobacco smoke on children as they grow older. The scientists also say their research found that smoking tobacco does not cause some kinds of cancers, like breast (胸部) cancer.( ) 56 The experts who studied tobacco smoking are from _ countries. A. 12 B. 29 C. 35 D. 50( ) 57 Which kind of cancer has no connection with smoking tobacco? A. Lung cancer. B. Stomach cancer. C. Breast cancer. D.

Tobacco use causes deaths from lung disease, heart disease and the stroke. C. The scientists say they found that smoking tobacco doesnt cause some kinds of cancers. D. When children who breathe in the second-hand smoke grow older, they will certainly have cancers.( )60 What is the best title for this passage? A. Tobacco smoking and cancers B. Different kinds of cancers C. The influences of cancers D. Smokers and non-smokers(D) A clever dog Recently, a German shepherd dog named Buddy helped a fireman reach a house fire and saved his owners house from burning up. When Ben Heinrichs was working on his truck in his workshop, a spark (火星) landed in a basin of gasoline (汽油) and set a fire. His clothes caught on fire, and he ran outside to roll in the snow and tried to put out the fire. As soon as he did that, he realized that his German shepherd, Buddy, was still inside the burning workshop. So Heinrichs ran inside to save Buddy. It was luckily unharmed. Then he told his dog, Buddy, we need to get help. Buddy understood his best friend at once. He rushed through the woods and started running towards the nearest road. Before long, he came to a fireman. The fireman had received a call from one of Heinrichs neighbours, but didnt know the nearest road to the burning place. When he saw Buddy run in front of his car, looking at him, then take off down a side road, he realized that the dog knew what he was going to do. He decided to follow Buddy.
