You needed a lot of skills to do what we did.When outboard motors became available in the 1980s, boat trackers became a thing of the past. Today, they are seen only occasionally along the river during festivals and cultural events.However, Dai can still remember a time when being pulled by tracker along the Yangtze was the only way for people to travel from village to village in the mountainous Wushan county. Due to the areas rich mining resources, his services were vital for companies that wanted to ship their goods.I was 15 or 16 when I started, said the retiree, explaining that his father also worked as a tracker. He died in 1964, when I was a teenager. I cant even remember us tracking together, but we did. It was so long ago.Dai said that boats crews worked in teams with a first, second and third master. The first master was the most essential because he sat in the boat and steered (操纵) it along the safest route.It was a key role. He had to guide the boat past jagged rocks and whirlpools, he said, adding that first masters were often the most experienced boatmen and the most familiar with the Yangtzer River.My tracker days were dangerous, Dai said. If the boat got caught in a whirlpool, it could have swallowed the boat and all the trackers down with it. The same thing would have happened if the halter (缰绳) broke.Dais days as a tracker finally came to an end when his family invested in a motorboat in the early 1980s. He successfully applied for a license from Wushan shortly after.31. From the passage we can know that_.A. 66-year-old Dai is a boat tracker along the Yangtze RiverB. being a tracker required more than brute strengthC. Dai lives at the entrance to Xialong villageD. Dai is still often seen along the river as a tracker32. For about how many years did Dai work as a tracker?A. 5 years. B. 10 years. C. 20 years. D. 30 years33. We can conclude from the passage that_.A. both people and goods were once pulled by tracker along the YangtzeB. actually Dai didnt track with his father at allC. the most experienced boatmen were sure to be the first mastersD. if the boat was caught in a whirlpool, all the trackers had no chance to survive34. What does the passage mainly tell about?A. Dais miserable (苦难的) life in the old society.B. Dai and his father.C. Dais past life as a tracker.D. Dais happy life.BMainland couples who give birth to a second child in Hong Kong will be fined for breaking the family planning policy, a senior official has warned.As more women flock to Hong Kong to give birth to their second child, Zhang Feng, family planning department director of Guangdong Province, stressed that this violated Chinas policies.And those who are government employees will even be dismissed from their posts. he said.It doesnt matter if they give birth to their second child on the mainland or in other countries and regions, they have violated the countrys policies and the provinces regulations.He said that some families had been punished in the past few months after having a second child in Hong Kong, but gave no details.Zhang made his remarks when a Hong Kong newspaper carried a controversial (有争论的) notice claiming residents medical services had been affected by the growing number of mainland women who arrive in the city to give birth and gain right of abode (居住) there.According to statistics revealed by Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government, about 88,000 babies were born in Hong Kong in 2020, but more than 41,000 or 47 percent, were to mainland couples, including a large number from Guangdong.Hong Kong has limited the number of mainland women permitted to give birth in the city at 34,000 this year.The issue also has caused calls for an amendment (修正) to Hong Kongs Basic Law so that babies born to mainland women are no longer granted permanent right of abode.I support Hong Kong governments decision to reduce or limit the number for mainland women giving birth in Hong Kong.
