Travelers to new cities are often told to start their trip with a bus tour. The thinking is that they can then go to the places that 16 them. Nonsense! What you see from the 17 of a moving bus is 18 and completely removed （脱离） from the real sights, sounds, and 19 outside. Be adventurous!

A
Bend over, take a deep breath and drink some water for 15 seconds! This is just one of hundreds of tips you might get if you have the hiccups（打嗝）. Hiccups are so mysterious. We really don’t know why they start and why they stop.
Everyone has a favorite cure for a case of the hiccups. Some people think that a good scare is necessary to get well. Others eat a teaspoon of sugar. Still others drink a glass of water.
An American named Jack O’Leary claimed to have hiccupped 160 million times over a period of eight years. He tried 60,000 cures, but none of them worked. Finally he prayed to Saint Jude, the saint of Hopeless cases, and his hiccupping stopped immediately.
It took a British plumber eight months to cure his hiccups. People from all over the world wrote him letters with suggestions for getting well. He tried them all, but the hiccups continued. Finally, he drank a “secret” mixture someone had sent him. By that evening his hiccups were gone.
Why did these cures work for these two men? No one really knows. But people who have studied many cases of hiccups have an idea. Hiccups usually go away if you believe in the cure.
36. might be the best cure for hiccups.
A. Special pills
B. A spoonful of salt
C. Cold water
D. Whatever you think will work

It would be very exciting to be a reporter for a newspaper. As soon as a reporter’s boss gives him a story to write, the reporter is on the job. He keeps his mind on what he is going to do. He does not begin writing the story until he knows what he is supposed to find out. He must know why he should write the story.
At times a reporter must search hard to find all of the facts he needs for a story. The facts may not be right under his nose. To find the facts, he must also be able to recognize important details.
As a reporter is gathering information for a story, he asks himself questions: Should I use this piece of information? Is this an important fact?
A reporter writes the story as fast as he can, so it can go right away into the newspaper. The story also needs a headline, which tells very quickly what the news story is about. The headline is the part of the news that is printed bigger and blacker than the rest of the news story.
Every big newspaper has many reporters, because many stories are needed in the newspaper. Would you like to be one of them?

Men sometimes say: “We are better and cleverer than women. Women never invented things. We do.” It is true that men have invented a lot of useful things: the alphabet, machines, rockets, and guns, too. But scientists and archeologists （考古学家）now agree that women invented one very important thing. It had changed the history. They invented agriculture. Before the invention of agriculture men were hunters. They went out every day. Sometimes they killed animals—sometimes animals killed them. Life was difficult and dangerous. Women had to go out every day, too. They collected roots, fruit and grass. Then, one day, more than 10,000 years ago, a woman dropped some grass seeds. She dropped them near her home in the Middle East. They grew—and the first wheat was born. The idea grew, too. Women planted roots and fruit trees. Then they could stay at home and look after the children—and the animals. Women liked baby animals: dogs, cows, sheep and goats. That idea grew, too. Then their husband did not have to go hunting for meat. They stayed at home. They built villages and cities. Men began civilization—after women invented agriculture.
44. How do men sometimes think, when referring to the difference between men and women?
A. They think that women are not so bright as they are.
B. They think that they have more abilities than women.
C. They think that women have changed the history.
D. They think that they have rights as equal as women in inventions.
45. Why was life so difficult and dangerous before agriculture was invented?
A. Because only men went out for food every day.
B. Because men had to fight against animals.
C. Because women had to go hunting with their husbands.
D. Because animals sometimes killed men.
46. Why did men begin civilization after women invented agriculture?
A. Because they didn’t have to stay at home to help women with crops.
B. Because they had to build villages and cities.
C. Because they didn’t have to go hunting for food all their time.
D. Because they raised animals at home.
47. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?
A. Women were weak in civilization.
B. Women played a very important role in agriculture.
C. Women invented many useful things like men.
D. Women are better and cleverer than men.

I can also go boating, fishing and swimming in the lake, What’s more, I can climb the hills. All this will be interesting and good for my health. Above all, I can learn more about nature.
