On Christmas Eve, seventy-three-year-old George selected his food carefully. Skim milk was
$2.99 white bread 89 cents with a10-cent discount. Leaving the cashier, he calculated that he had
saved 80 cents today.
At the exit, the wind reminded him of his gloves. "Where are they ” Not in the coat pockets. Not in
the grocery bag either. He was sure he was wearing them when he entered the store. He clearly
remembered putting them into the pocket of this coat. George made a second thorough search of all
his pockets, again including the grocery bag. Now he was sure they must have been dropped
somewhere inside the store.
Old George had bought the black leather gloves at a 25% discount, for just $35.00, ten years ago.
They were soft and warm and very durable(耐用的). He had taken care not to let a drop of water or
rain touch his expensive gloves, so they looked like new. Losing this favorite possession was almost
like losing a child to him.
George, calm on the outside but nervous inside, re-entered the store. He followed the same route he
had walked before, starting at the bread counter, to the milk section, the corner where salt and sugar
were placed, then the rest of the store. Several minutes of anxious searching turned out to be in vain.

Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table, reading his book. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to copy him in every way he could.
One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the book just like you, but I don’t understand it, and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do ”
The grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”
The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandpa laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned. Out of breath, he told his grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, so he went to get a bucket instead. The grandpa said, “I don’t want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough.” The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again. Out of breath, he said, “Grandpa, it’s useless!”
“So, you think it is useless ” the grandpa said, “Look at the basket.”
The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean.
“Grandson, that’s what happens when you read the book. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you’ll be changed, inside and out.”

In 1986, thirteen tombs were found in Fangmatan, an area that lies close to the city of Tianshui in China’s northwestern Gansu Province. Most were built during the Warring States Periods (475-221 B.C.). The tombs were located in Gui County, which lay within the territory of the state of Qin.
What the archaeologists found in one of the tombs was quite a surprise — seven maps that, through a fortunate coincidence, had survived for more than 2,200 years. This early date makes them the oldest known surviving maps from China.
After two years of difficult work, specialists managed to restore the maps and bring all their details back to light. The seven maps were drawn with black ink on four rectangular slabs (平板) of pine wood. The pieces all measured almost the same size. Each is about 10.5 inches long, 7.13 inches wide, and 0.43 inch thick.
These maps offer positive proof of how advanced the art and science of mapping was in China at the time. They include information about both the administration and the geography of Gui County. They also include the longitude and latitude of the area, as well as the most characteristic elements that are marked on today’s maps. Less important areas are simply named and have no lines drawn around them. Also labeled on these maps are roads, mountains, and rivers.
When you take a closer look, you will note another fascinating feature. The forests in Gui County are also defined. Interestingly, we can even recognize markings that describe the types and sizes of the timber (木材) to be found in the several areas. This information offers valuable insights into what the local plant life looked like during that time.
But that is not all. In some cases, even the distances from the forests to the settlements are marked. Can you guess why Well, timber was an important commodity (商品), and it had to be transported. The Fangmatan maps include everything that was necessary for the organization of such journeys and business dealings. Taking all this into consideration, they clearly served as economic maps for traders.
28. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The appearance of the maps. B. The content of the maps.
C. The origin of the maps. D.The function of the maps.
29. Which of the following is included in these maps
A. The administration of Gansu Province. B. The longitude and latitude of Gui County.
C. The distances from the forests to the rivers. D. All the types and sizes of the timber.
30. Which word can best describe the author’s feeling about these maps
A.Calm. B. Refreshed. C.Amazed. D. Satisfied.
31. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To explain a research method. B. To encourage a visit to the tombs.
C. To stress the importance of protecting relics. D. To describe the fact of a new discovery.
D
Despite the fact that there has never been so much wealth or so many wealthy people in the world, many of the world’s poor people still live in material and energy poverty. Could you and I cut back on our consumption (消耗) so as to make some space for others to increase theirs
I am sure we could. But, unfortunately, everything about our economic systems is set up to make us believe and behave otherwise. The default (默认) mindset is that there is nothing wrong with wanting ever newer and more expensive things as long as we can afford them.
Look around you for a moment. No society anywhere before lived like this. Further, since our spending must necessarily be someone else’s income, we tell ourselves that we actually make the world a better place every time we buy another pair of shoes or trade in a car for the latest model. And that’s the tug (拉) of war that plays itself out cruelly in our lives, as one side of our age cries out “less”, and from the other side comes the answering cry “more”.
Of course, wanting to live a better life is deeply ingrained in human nature. Otherwise, we would never have generated the progress that has brought us to our present station.
But now we should think deeply about how and why we consume.
After all, even the earliest thinkers in the history of economic—including Adam Smith—thought, having more does not always translate into being happier. Evidence shows that many people in the developing world, despite being hard-up, report being just as happy as those in the materially rich societies of the West.
So what now The answer, perhaps, is to try to be rich in the enjoyment of things, not in the accumulation (堆积) of them. A pair of good shoes, lightly creased (起皱) but also carefully polished (擦亮) once a month a meal cooked at home instead of a trip to McDonald’s—such as these lie our act of saving from the virus of compulsive (强迫性的) consumption.
32. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs
A. People tend to buy things unreasonably.
B. People refuse to cut down on consumption.
C. People all face material and energy poverty.
D. People believe in political and economic systems.
33. What does the underlined word “ingrained” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Held. B. Changed. C. Rooted. D. Possessed.
34. What does the author suggest
A. Trying to be rich. B. Enjoying what we have.
C. The more, the better. D. Focusing on the compulsive consumption.
35. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Economy. B. Health. C. Education. D. Entertainment.

On Christmas Eve, seventy-three-year-old George selected his food carefully. Skim milk was $2.99 white bread 89 cents with a10-cent discount. Leaving the cashier, he calculated that he had saved 80 cents today.
At the exit, the wind reminded him of his gloves. "Where are they ” Not in the coat pockets. Not in the grocery bag either. He was sure he was wearing them when he entered the store. He clearly remembered putting them into the pocket of this coat. George made a second thorough search of all his pockets, again including the grocery bag. Now he was sure they must have been dropped somewhere inside the store.
Old George had bought the black leather gloves at a 25% discount, for just $35.00, ten years ago. They were soft and warm and very durable(耐用的). He had taken care not to let a drop of water or rain touch his expensive gloves, so they looked like new. Losing this favorite possession was almost like losing a child to him.
George, calm on the outside but nervous inside, re-entered the store. He followed the same route he had walked before, starting at the bread counter, to the milk section, the corner where salt and sugar were placed, then the rest of the store. Several minutes of anxious searching turned out to be in vain. He asked the customers whether they saw a pair of black leather gloves, but they said no. Then he went over to the cashier without hesitation to ask if she had received any lost gloves, but only received the same answer. His heart grew heavier.
"Society has changed, people have changed, " he murmured to himself."' Years ago, if somebody picked up something lost, they would give it back. Now a good action is lost."
Yet he did not give up hope. He started to stare at anybody wearing black gloves to see if they looked like his. The first two persons he saw did wear gloves, but one was women's and the other not black.

66.Dear boys and girls,
With the reading month approaching, I’m here to call on all of you to do more reading.
Reading can benefit us a lot. First, it can enrich our minds and teach us to distinguish between right and wrong, which lays a solid foundation for further learning. Furthermore, as a famous writer put it, “Reading a good book is like talking with a noble man.” By reading books, we can gain the wisdom helping us solve practical problems in our daily life. All in all, the advantages of reading are beyond description.
Let’s take action to do more reading. Only through reading can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired and success achieved.

Suddenly, he found a man looking like a lawyer, wearing black leather gloves. Abrupt唐突的 as it might seem, George went up to him走上前去without hesitation and asked if they were his, but there came a disappointing answer. All of a sudden, he realized that nobody would be so foolish as to wear them right inside the store. He had no other alternative but to ask the cashier to keep the lost gloves in case they were found. Then he dragged himself towards the exit.
During the whole holiday, he was always thinking whether to buy a new pair. After all, in deep winter, he could not do withoutgloves他离不开手套. Finally, poor George decided to buy another pair of leather gloves. With the last ray of hope, he stepped into the store again.
