I have developed an exercise for my class that is working really well, as it has encouraged students to take a more active part in literature and Mexico's rich culture. The main purpose of this exercise is to help students develop a deep understanding of a short story translated into Spanish. The story follows an Italian couple on vacation in Mexico. The trip serves as a way for the couple to think about their life and Mexican history and culture.
I created a virtual tour for the students to follow the characters' path throughout the journey. Using Aeon timeline software, we divided the story into time-space orders and put the events in time order.
After finishing that stage, we used "google earth" to the timeline, in order to add a virtual view to the tour. We visually follow the couple's journey, starting in Italy, travelling to Mexico City, and then visiting the model Mexican village of Tepoztlán. Here we visit a sixteenth-century monastery and then follow the couple to a traditional local restaurant, where we imagine a delicious Mexican meal. The trip then takes us to Oaxaca where we stay at the Camino Real hotel. The building, once a convent, shows beautiful architecture and old paintings. The tour continues to Monte Albán, impressive Zapotec ruins at the outskirts of Oaxaca.
My plan is to continue developing the virtual tour in order to cover all the locations in the story. I hope that by studying the story in this way, my students will have a deeper understanding of Mexican culture and history.
47. Why did the teacher create the virtual tour exercise
A. To let students travel to Mexico and try local food.
B. To encourage students to write their own short stories.
C. To help students understand the history and Mexican culture.
D. To teach students to use "google earth" and timeline software.
48. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. The short story was written in Spanish at first.
B. The Camino Real hotel was a restaurant long ago.
C. The virtual tour now includes all places in the story.
D. The story is about an Italian couple's trip in Mexico.
49. What is the correct order of the couple's journey in the virtual tour
① Go to Oaxaca and stay in Camino Real hotel.
② Start from Italy.
③ Visit Monte Albán, the Zapotec ruins.
④ Arrive in Mexico City and Tepoztlán.
A. ②→④→①→③ B. ②→①→④→③ C. ④→②→③→① D. ①→②→④→③
50. What does the writer think of the exercise
A. It is useless for learning literature.
B. It is too difficult for students to finish.
C. It needs to be improved to cover more places.
D. It has already taken the place of traditional reading.

"Why do I live Why do I wish for anything, or do anything Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed by my death "
Like many people, the great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy thought about these deep questions. It took him the whole life to try to find answers to them.
In his youth, Tolstoy believed that people could become perfect if they worked hard enough. So he tried his best to do well in everything he did. He thought success would help him find life's meaning and truth.
In the 1850s, Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He talked about his time in the army and shared stories from his childhood. These works came out, and Tolstoy soon became a famous writer.
He got the respect he had always wanted. Many rich and smart people met with him to talk about the meaning of life. But Tolstoy quickly saw that these men were not perfect—and they could not answer his questions about faith.
So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a new way to find life's purpose—and it worked. He opened a school for the children of the workers on his family's land. These workers were very poor, but Tolstoy wanted to help them. So they needn't pay for the school. He believed they were more honest than the rich people he knew.
Tolstoy learned a lot from these workers. He saw how hard they worked to support their families. Little by little, he came to believe that marriage and family would give his life true meaning. In 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs.
The next 15 years were the happiest and most fruitful of Tolstoy's life. During this time, he wrote his two most famous books—War and Peace and Anna Karenina. In these books, Tolstoy believed that people should live a simple life and take care of their families. He thought this way of life would bring true satisfaction and happiness.
Today, Leo Tolstoy is still one of the world's most respected writers. His thoughts and works have touched the hearts of people all over the world, encouraging them to think about life's biggest questions too.
