The stream then thought, “I overcame so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing this desert !” But when she decided to start her journey, she found herself gradually disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed.“Maybe its my destiny(命运) ! Im not destined （命中注定）to reach the vast（广阔的） ocean in the legend（传说）, ”she thought sadly to herself.At this time, a deep voice came, saying, “If a breeze（微风） can cross the desert, so can a river.”It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream replied, “Thats because a breeze can fly, but I cant.”“Thats because you stick to what you are. If youre willing to give it up, and let yourself evaporate （蒸发） into the breeze, it can take you across, and you can reach your destination(目的地）,” said the desert in its deep voice.The little stream had never heard of such a thing. “Give up what I am now and disappear into the breeze? No! No!”She could not accept this idea. After all, she had never experienced anything like it before. Wouldnt it be self-destruction（自毁）to give up what she was now ?“How do I know if this is true?” asked the little stream.“The breeze can carry the vapor（蒸汽） across the desert and let it leave as rain . The rain will form a river again ,” answered the desert .“Will I still be what I am now?” asked the little stream.“Yes, and no. Whether youre a river or vapor, your nature never changes. You stick to the fact that youre a river because you dont know your inner nature,” answered the desert.Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze（微风）. which carried her to the next stage of her life.Perhaps you can try asking yourself these questions: What is my inner nature? What is it that I cling （紧抓） to? And what is it that I really want ?26 . Before the stream reached the desert, she didnt _ .Abelieve in herself .Bmeet any difficultiesCwant to cross the dessertDworry about the journey to the ocean27 .

What is the main idea of the story ?AThe road to success is not always easy.BWe should do the right thing whatever others say.COur lives can be as difficult as the little streams.DTo succeed, sometimes we should change the way we used to be.Nowadays, kids all over the world are doing more and more extreme (极限的) sports. The most popular ones include inline skating (轮滑), BMX cycling (自行车越野), snowboarding, skateboarding and bungee jumping (蹦极跳). Why are they so extreme? They all have a few things in common: theyre fast, dangerous and usually send people flying through the air.These sports started in the streets, but they were made popular by ESPN, the American TV sports network. ESPN held its first international extreme sports competition, called the “X Games,” in 1995. The X Games soon became a twice-yearly event with winter and summer games.Now, some Chinese kids are falling in love with these cool sports. In cities like Beijing and Guangzhou, in the parks or streets, kids often practice inline skating or skateboarding, learning new tricks (花样) from their friends. Extreme sports are becoming so popular, even the Olympic Games are starting to welcome them. Mountain biking is now a part of the summer Games, and snowboarding is in the winter Games.BMX cycling was added to the Beijing Games in 2008. “Its a change that we cant stop,” said Mark Ryerson, a US Olympic historian. “The Olympics have to look into sports that people are interested in.”31 . _ extreme sports are thought of as the most popular ones.ATwoBThreeCFourDFive32 .

Theyre not really bad guests, but because the guest-host relationship in China is much different than in some western counties, it appears they are not nice guests. And western guests sometimes look rude (粗鲁的) in the eyes of Chinese guests.In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese persons home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the hosts way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.My wifes mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesnt smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North America homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you could ask, “Is it OK if I smoke?” “But, dont be surprised if they say, “No, you cant smoke.” In our culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they dont allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude guest.Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your home, dont be too surprised if they dont bring you a gift.In China, you probably wont need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.37 . If the writers guests want to smoke in his house, what will he probably say?AIts OK if you smoke here.BLets smoke together.CSorry, you cant smoke here.DSmoking is a bad habit.38 . What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “adapt to” in the passage?Athink back toBget used toClook forward toDkeep close to39 . What is the main idea of this passage?AForeigners should learn from Chinese.BHosts must do things in the guests way.CWestern hosts are always nice to guests.DPeople should understand cultural differences.五、根据首字母、中文提示填空五、根据句意及中文提示填写单词。40 .
