The guitar is one of the most popular musical instruments in the world.Many different cultures have played instruments like the guitar for over 3，000 years.The oldest instrument that we can see today comes from Ancient Egypt.You can see this guitar in a museum in Cairo.It belonged to a singer who sang for the Egyptian queen Hatshepsut.This type of guitar had a long neck and only three strings（弦）.
The lute is also an ancient instrument similar to a guitar，but it has a short neck and a body like half a pear.It usually had more strings than a guitar and they were in pairs.From 1100 to 1500，travelling singers and story tellers played the lute to go with their songs.
Guitars sometimes had pairs of strings like the lute，but the guitar changed over time to use single strings.People used guitars with six single strings for the first time in the 1600s in Italy，but the most important change happened in the 1850s.The Spanish guitar maker Antonio Torres Jurado made the guitar's body bigger.His idea made the sound of the guitar louder and better.Most of today's classical guitars follow his design.
The first electric guitars appeared in the 1930s.The electric guitars have a solid body and can make many different sounds.We also find them in many different shapes and sizes.Some electric guitars don't look like guitars at all!

I joined a club called"Passing Help"last month.As for why I joined this club，there is a touching story behind it.
One evening this May，I went to the countryside on business.My old car broke down suddenly on my way home.It was 25 miles away from my house.I wanted to get a ride，but there was no car passing by.It was also hard to take a taxi in such a lonely place.So I decided to take a bus home.I walked forward and soon found a bus stop nearby.
After a while，a bus came，but it did not go to my town.The bus driver was a young woman.She told me which bus I should take.I waited there for about thirty minutes.During that time，a truck passed by，but there was no space for me to take a ride.Just then a car came to me and a woman came out of the car.She was just the bus driver."When I reached the bus station，I found that the bus to your town couldn't come，so I returned here to pick you up.I just can't leave you here，"she said， "Get in my car and I will take you back to your home."
"It is a long way，"I said.
"Come on，sir，"she said."Let's go."
On the way she told me a story，which happened a few years ago.Her car ran out of gas halfway home.As she was wondering what to do，an old man driving by offered to drive her up to a gas station and then back to her car.The old man told her that he was a member of Passing Help and asked her to join it too.
When we got to my home，it was already very late.I wanted to give her some money as a thank-you，but she didn't accept it."As a club member，I'm just trying to help those in need and do something nice for somebody else.Pass it along!"she said.

Many people today feel stressed（感到压力） by lasting competition，often called the"rat race（内卷）".This means facing too much pressure（压力） in almost every part of life.Parents feel they must give their children the best things and opportunities.Students get caught in an educational race，feeling they need to grades and to attend the best schools to succeed.Office workers often put in very long hours，sometime over 10 hours a day.People push themselves extremely hard to make more money or achieve big goal believing this is the only path to a good life.However，this lasting struggle often leads to more worry and unhappiness instead of achievement.
Because of this heavy pressure，some people choose a different path called"lying flat."They decide stop chasing those big，stressful goals like buying an expensive house，getting the highest grades，or land the best job.They might lose interest in working or studying hard.Instead of trying new things or learn new skills，they might just stay in their comfort zone，watching videos or playing games for long hours.This can make them feel left behind as the world changes.Sadly，this choice often leads to feeling upset and losing confidence in themselves because they aren't moving forward.
Clearly，neither the exhausting（使人精疲力尽的）"rat race"nor completely"lying flat"is a healthy or happy solution.Living only for lasting competition makes people tired，stressed，and often unhappy.On the other hand，giving up completely leads to boredom，feeling worried，and missing out on opportunities.
The best way forward is to find a balanced way.We should still have dreams and goals，but we can pursue （追求） them with healthy competition.Healthy competition means trying our best，learning，and improving ourselves，but without endlessly comparing ourselves to others or pushing to the point of tiredness.It's like playing a sport：you try to win，but you also enjoy the game and respect your teammates and opponents（对手）.This balanced way allows us to make steady progress，learn new things，and achieve meaningful things，while still having time to relax，enjoy hobbies，and be happy.It helps us avoid the extreme tiredness of the"rat race"and the lack of purpose in"lying flat，"leading to a more satisfying life.
37.What is the main idea of the passage？ ______
A. The"rat race"is necessary for success in life.
B. "Lying flat"is a good way to avoid stress.
C. Both the"rat race"and"lying flat"have their advantages.
D. A balanced way to life is the best solution.
38.What does the passage suggest about people who "lie flat"？ ______
A. They are more successful in life.
B. They feel more relaxed and happy.
C. They may lose confidence and feel left behind.
D. They are more likely to achieve their goals.
39.What does the author mean by"healthy competition"？ ______
A. Competing with others to make more money.
B. Managing to improve yourself without lasting comparison to others.
C. Working extremely hard to achieve big goals.
D. Trying to be the best in everything you do.
40.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage？ ______
A. To suggest a balanced approach to life as the best solution.
B. To ask people to stop competing and"lie flat."
C. To explain why the"rat race"is the only way to succeed.
D. To encourage people to work harder and achieve more.
