However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper - a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax(蜡) in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them tot he nest. When they finally arrive at the nest,_reaches in to get the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always fall to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined (下决心) in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper(养蜂者) is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.26 .

His grandson often came in the evening to sit on his knee and asked the many questions that children would ask.One day the grandson came to his grandfather with a look of anger on his face and the following story. “Father and I went to the store today and because I helped him, he bought me a present-a jack-knife. I went outside to wait for father and to admire my new knife in the sunlight. Some town boys came by and saw me. They surrounded me and started saying bad things. They called me dirty and stupid and said that I should not have such a fine knife. The largest of these boys pushed me back and I fell over one of the other boys. I dropped my knife and one of them picked it up and they all ran away laughing. I hate them. I hate them all.The elder Cherokee, with eyes that had seen too much, lifted his grandsons face so his eyes looked into the boys face. Grandfather said, Let me tell you a story. I, too, at times, have felt a great hate for those who have taken so much with no sorrow for what they do. But hate wears you down and does not hurt your enemy. It is like drinking poison and wishing your enemy would die. I have struggled with these feelings many times. It is as if two wolves are inside me. It is a terrible fight.One wolf is good and does no harm. He lives in harmony with all around him and does not take offense when no offense was intended. It will only fight when it is right to do so and in the right way. This wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, modesty, kindness, friendship, sympathy, generosity, truth, and faith.The other wolf is full of anger. The least thing will set off his fiercest temper. He fights everyone, all the time, for no reason. He cannot think because his anger and hate are so much. It is helpless anger, for his anger will change nothing. This wolf represents fear, envy, greed, self-pity, guilt, lies, false pride and superiority.Sometimes, it is hard to live with these two wolves inside me for both of them try to control my spirit. This same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person too.”The boy looked into his grandfathers eyes and asked, Which wolf will win? The old Cherokee simply replied. The one you feed.34 . The boy was angry because _.AHe was not satisfied with his presentBHis back was badly injured in a fightCHe had waited for his father for too longDHis jack-knife had been taken away by some boys35 . How does the good wolf do things in the story?AHe never fights against others.BHe tries to get on well with others.CIt is hard for him to live with other wolves.DSometimes he had a terrible fight because some one hit him.36 . We can learn from the third paragraph that _.A“hate” is healthyB“hate” hurts oneselfC“hate” is complicatedD“hate” harms ones enemies37 . What did Grandfather mean by saying The one you feed in the last paragraph?AWe should feed the two wolves equally.BLiving in harmony with others is important.COur feelings should be expressed at the right time.DThe choices we make determine who we will become.Long long ago in a small village, there was a place known as the House of 1,000 Mirrors.A small, happy little dog learned about this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he jumped happily up the stairs and to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway. His ears lifted up, and his tail( 尾巴 ) wagged as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself looking at 1,000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile and was answered with 1,000 great smiles that were just as warm and friendly. As he left the house, he thought to himself: “This is a wonderful place. I will come back to visit often.”In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the other one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the doorway. When he saw the 1,000 unfriendly-looking dogs looking back at him, he growled at them. He was afraid when he saw 1,000 little dogs growling back. As he left, he thought to himself: “That is a terrible place. I will never go back there again.”All the faces in the world are mirrors of you. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of people you meet?38 .

In space, they can do some pretty amazing things, like floating in zero gravity (重力).However, there are also plenty of things that astronauts cant do because of their weightless environment, and thats very sad. Whats worse, they cant even let their sadness show because its impossible to cry in zero gravity.Of course, astronauts can still have tears. But crying is much more difficult in space. Without gravity, tears dont flow downward out of the eyes like they do on the earth. This means that when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go they just stick to your eyes.In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks. Tears, he said, dont fall off your eyes. They just stay there. Besides making your vision (视力) unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on the earth, tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes. But thats not the same in space. The space environment dries out astronauts eyes, and when tears suddenly wet the eyes, it can cause pain rather than comfort. My right eye is painful like crazy. Feustel told his teammate during the walk.Since gravity doesnt w
