四、阅读理解
A
Hobbies are something we enjoy doing in our free time for fun. Almost everyone has some kinds of hobbies. The choice of hobbies is different from person to person. That is because they have different interests and jobs. For example, people who sit at a desk all day long like to develop active hobbies while people like professional athletes prefer quiet hobbies. They want to make a change to keep a balance between work and play.
People can choose hobbies that are very popular and easy to develop. For example, they like watching TV, reading, window-shopping, going to the movies and so on. These hobbies need no special training. They can also choose hobbies that are not so easy to develop, such as painting and playing musical instruments. These hobbies need special training and personal talents.
Most people develop hobbies for relaxation, but others have hobbies for killing time. For many retired people, they develop hobbies just to kill time because they have much free time. However, students are busy with their schoolwork to fight for their future. But as the saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Students need hobbies in order to have better performances in their future.
36. Why do professional athletes prefer quiet hobbies
A．Because they have different interests.
B．Because they have different jobs.
C．Because they like to develop active hobbies.
D．Because they need to keep a balance between work and play.
37. Which hobbies need special training
A．reading B．window-shopping
C．going to the movies D．painting
38. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” means ________.
A．We need to work B．We need to play
C．We needn’t work or play D．Working without relaxing makes a person dull

Summer is a time for having fun in the sun! Children should have fun but they should also be safe. Here are some helpful safety tips all parents should tell their children.
Never Talk to Strangers
Tell your children not to talk to anyone they don’t know. If someone they don’t know comes up to them, they should either run away if they are alone or go somewhere where there are other people.
Keep Cool in the Heat (高温)
If your children must be outdoors in the heat, make sure that activities should be limited (限制) to 15 minutes. Of course, water is necessary for them. Remember to ask them to drink some every 20 minutes even though they do not feel thirsty.
Water Safety
For children who cannot swim, they should not go into the deep area of the water. And they should also play at places where there are lifeguards (救生员). In this way if something were to happen, they would have someone there help them. Children should never be in a pool alone, anyway.
Bike Safety
Riding can be fun but also dangerous. Remember to ask your children to be careful in the street, sidewalk and even the driveway to your home. They need to be taught never to ride a bike out into the street without first watching out for cars, and never into the street from behind a parked car, or from in between two parked cars. Stay away from them.

Lots of people make it their aim to get to the top of Mount Qomolangma. Mark is one of them. The difference between Mark and other climbers is that he lost both his legs when climbing New Zealand’s highest mountain, Mount Cook.

But that couldn’t make Mark lose heart, who has become the first person with prosthetic legs to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma.
From the top of the world’s highest mountain, Mark called his wife to say he made it. His wife, Anne, answered the phone when she was sleeping. She couldn’t hear him clearly on the phone. She was unable to say when he reached the top but thought it was around midday. She also said his “legs” didn’t work well sometimes, so her husband was carrying a spare leg and repair tools. Mark used to be a mountain guide before his accident. He said it was not important that no one like him had ever reached the top of the 8,848.86-metre mountain.
“I’m not doing this to be the first. I have been climbing most of my life and I just feel Mount Qomolangma is really a great aim. I want to send a message that I can do anything better.”

What Causes the Earth to Shake
Why do earthquakes happen Before science was able to explain them, cultural legends tried to account for their origins. Let’s look at some famous earthquake myths (神话).
China
Some ancient Chinese believed that earthquakes were caused by the “imbalance (失衡) of yin and yang”. They were directly related to the bad acts of human beings. Earthquakes were considered as a warning from Heaven to human beings. It was thought that the energy of yin and yang, or that between Heaven and Earth, required balance. It was believed that earthquakes arose when the balance between yin and yang was lost.
Greece
In Greek mythology (神话), earthquakes occurred when Poseidon was very angry. His anger caused not only earthquakes but also tsunamis (海啸). Poseidon was also the ancient Greek god of horses, the sea, rivers, floods and droughts. He held a trident (三叉戟) and was described in mythology as a powerfully built (体格健壮的) man. In ancient Greek texts, Poseidon was said to hit the ground with his powerful weapon and then earthquakes were created.
India
The ancient Indians thought that the Earth was carried by several elephants standing on the back of a great turtle. The elephants were Guozeng, Qingjing, Zengzhang and Erming, and it would cause earthquakes whenever the four elephants shook.
46. According to the passage, why did ancient Chinese people believe earthquakes happened
A．Because Poseidon hit the ground with his trident.
B．Because the balance of yin and yang was lost.
C．Because elephants standing on a turtle shook.
D．Because of scientific changes in the Earth’s crust.
47. Which of the following is TRUE about the Greek myth of earthquakes
A．Earthquakes were thought to be caused by the anger of Poseidon.
B．Poseidon was only the god of the sea and earthquakes.
C．Poseidon used a sword to cause earthquakes.
D．Greek myths said earthquakes had nothing to do with tsunamis.
48. What did ancient Indians believe caused earthquakes
A．The imbalance of yin and yang between Heaven and Earth.
B．The angry god Poseidon hitting the ground.
C．Four elephants carrying the Earth shaking.
D．A great turtle moving in the ocean.

Hi Tina,
I’m glad you asked for advice! Don’t worry. Chinese hosts are very welcoming, and if you follow these tips, you’ll make a great impression! Let me explain step by step.
Firstly, bringing a small gift is a lovely idea. For example, fruit like apples or oranges or a box of tea would be perfect. You don’t need to bring something that is expensive.
Next, table manners are very important here. When eating, remember to wait for the elders to start first. This shows respect. Additionally (此外), never point your chopsticks at others or stick them into rice. It’s considered unlucky.
As for conversations, you can talk about daily topics like food, weather, or your school life. If you’re unsure, just smile and listen politely.
Finally, here are a few other tips. When you enter their house, you’d better ask whether you should take off your shoes. Also, offering to help with small tasks, like setting the table, will show your kindness.
In summary, be yourself and stay polite! They will surely have a good impression of you. If you have more questions, just ask me anytime.
Best wishes,
Yaming
