I decided to take a walk even though I didnt know where to go. The most special thing happened when I was out for this walk.I saw an old man sitting on a chair. He was a seller of second-hand shoes. I thought he looked at least 70 years old. He seemed so tired and nobody was buying his shoes. I wanted to give him something but I had not brought anything with me.Then, a little girl came toward him. I heard the child say, Grandfather, may I polish (擦干净) your shoes? That old man took pity on her, smiled and gave her a shoe to polish.The girl told him she needed money to buy her brother a new school uniform.Oh, little girl. Just stop doing this. Come with me and I will buy you a uniform. Then they walked to a market , and he bought her brother a uniform.The girl said “thanks” to him and left, leaving the old man smiling.He walked away from the market, but I stopped him. I whispered in his ear, You are a hero! Thank you for your kindness! As I walked away, I looked back and I could see him still smiling.I was blown away by the kindness I had just seen. Someone who had so little was so generous! Amazing! My own sadness had completely disappeared, chased way by the light of this kind act.I began realizing that I have a lot to be thankful for. I hope, some day, I can show my appreciation (感激) of what I have by following the example of the old man. He only had a little, but shared it so beautifully with someone who had nothing.31 .

For a long time, many scientists thought that only people could act generously just because it feels good.However, a new study in Germany suggests that chimpanzees (黑猩猩)also do good things for no real reason. And so do children who are as young as 18 months of age. Maybe it is because humans and chimpanzees share an ancestor(祖先) about 6 million years ago.People and chimpanzees appear to develop such features(特征) without any other training, says Warneken, a scientist in Germany. Warneken and his partners worked on adult chimpanzees that live on an island in the African country of Uganda. They also worked with 18-month-old children in Germany. The researchers performed three experiments on the adult chimpanzees and two experiments on the kids. In the first animal experiment，a person tried to reach his arm into a cage to get a stick，but he couldnt reach it. A chimpanzee was in the cage，and it could reach the stick if it wanted to.Thirty-six chimpanzees took part in this experiment one by one, and no chimpanzee saw what the other chimpanzees had done. Even though the animals hadnt met the person before, they usually took the stick and gave it to the person. Whats more, they did this whether or not the person offered them bananas as a reward. In a similar experiment, 36 children acted in a similar way. They helped the person reach the stick, whether or not they were offered toys for their help.Researchers did other experiments on chimpanzees and babies. No rewards were offered in either experiment. And still, both the chimpanzees and children went out of their way to help. Still, the new study is different from earlier findings. Researchers have found that chimpanzees dont give rewards of food to other chimpanzees, even if it costs them nothing to be generous.36 . Warneken and his partners worked with _.Ayoung chimpanzee that live on an islandB18-month-old children who live in GermanyCkids who are living with adult chimpanzeesDadult chimpanzees that live on the African mountain37 . A new study in Germany suggests that _.Apeople also share information for good reasonBchildren know something at the age of 18 monthsCchimpanzees do good things for no real reason, tooDhumans should develop their abilities 6 million years ago38 . Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？AThirty-six chimpanzees joined in this experiment one by oneBNo chimpanzee saw what the other chimpanzees had doneCThe animals hadnt met the person before the experimentsDChimpanzee gave the person the stick in order to get a reward39 . From the passage we know that _.Aboth chimpanzees and children can find their way to help othersBchimpanzees will reward good food to other chimpanzeesCchildren is more generous than chimpanzees in some waysDboth chimpanzees and children can do the difficult experimentsApril will bring a new product the Apple Watch into the market. Last week, the watch was firstly introduced by Tim Cook, Apples CEO. The price of the watch will differ from $349 to $1,099, depending on its size, strap and whether it is a sports or regular version.Apple engineers and designers have put in a lot of thought and hard work into creating this small screen on your wrist(手腕). The sensor on the screen not only detects your finger, but knows the difference between when you are tapping, and when you are pressing harder.The watch also has “haptic feedback(触觉反馈)”. You can send personal messages to your friend, such as drawing a star or a special sign with your fingers, or tapping the watch, say 3 times, and your friend will receive those taps on their wrist.Besides telling the time, the watch will use bluetooth to connect with your iPhone and show calls or text messages that come in.According to Tim Cook, the watch may open up a whole new area of applications that we had never thought of. Some car factories like BMW have developed an app that allows its car owners to open their cars with the watch. A Hotels app may allow you to open the door to your hotel room without worrying about losing the smart-card. And finally, even airlines are jumping in-passengers may be able to simply wave their wrist to check into their flight.The biggest use of the watch, however, is as your personal fitness coach. The watch can measure your pulse (heartbeat) using a sensor at the bottom of the watch. It also has the same accelerometer as your iPhone, so it knows when you are moving, and also how much you are walking or running. It will remind you if you have been sitting for too long without much activity.Many stores are planning to stop selling the Nike, Jawbone and FitBit devices(设备) to welcome the Apple Watch. Will Apple Watch really replace these devices and make fitness much more fun?40 . We can learn from the passage that the Apple Watch _.Ais designed by Tim CookBwas brought into the market last weekCsells at different prices for different coloursDwill come into the market this coming April41 .

In general, pack lightly, with only the most basic clothes. People dress casually(随便地) in Eastern Europe, so you dont need to bring along your smartest clothing.Batteries: If your camera, flash, or other appliances run on batteries, bring enough supply along. Certain types of batteries dont exist in Eastern Europe, and those that do often dont last very long.Cash: We have found it good to have supply of small-unit U.S. bills($1and $5) to use in hardcurrency stores, to buy international train tickets, etc. The hardcurrency stores never seem to have the rightchange.Electric Current Adapter(转换器): If you bring any appliances, remember that the electricity in Eastern Europe uses 220 volts A.C., not the standard 110 volts of North America. A 110 volts appliance will soon burn out when attached to an unchanged 220-volt plug.Language Tools: One of Europes biggest challenges is communicating with the local people since their languages are so different from our own. To help overcome difficulties, you might buy phrasebooks before you go you wont find them once you are in Eastern Europe.Money Belt: A money belt is especially helpful when you have many documents to carry around ( as you always do in Eastern Europe). The best one we find is made by Eagle Greek Travel Gear, 143 Cedros Ave. (P. O. box 651), Solona Beach, CA 92075 (tel. 619/755 9399, or toll free 800/874 9925) outside California.TravelersChecks: These are necessary. Bring your travelers checks in small to medium unit ($10, $20, or $50) to change a little bit at a time, so as not to be left with a lot of local money. To be on the safe side, be sure to copy down the check numbers in two places, just in case something happens to the checks.43 . How many tips are mentioned in the passage?A6B7C8D944 . Which of the following things may be the biggest challenge in Eastern Europe?AAppliances.BMoney.CLanguage.DClothes.45 . Which of the following statements is NOT a fact according to the passage?A. No shop in Eastern Europe accepts hard currency.ATravelers may need to carry many documents in Eastern Europe.C. The electricity in Eastern Europe uses 220 volts A.C.BEastern European languages can be a problem to foreign travelers.46 . Whats the writers purpose of writing this passage?ATo tell you its not easy to stay in Eastern Europe.BTo give you some advice on what you should pack when youre in Eastern Europe.CTo tell you something about the life in Eastern Europe.DTo show you the life in Eastern Europe is different from that in your country.47 . What do the underlined words “change” and “check” probably mean according to the given dictionary entries(词条)?change1). V to become different 改变；变化2). V to exchange money into the money of another country 兑换3). U the money that you get back when you have paid for sth giving more money than the amount it costs 找给的零钱；找头check1). V to examine sth to see if it is correct, safe or acceptable 检查；审查2). C an act of making sure that sth is safe, correct or in good condition by examining it 检查；查看3).
