（C）
Bali is a tiny island that is part of Indonesia(印度尼西亚) today. It is a pretty island that has many mountains and a pleasant climate. For a long time, Bali was cut off from much of the world.
The people of Bali were happy and had a peaceful life. They were not allowed to fight. At one time there had been terrible wars on Bali. Then the people decided it was wrong to fight or have wars. They made rules to keep apart those people who wanted to fight.
Bali was divided into seven small kingdoms. The land around each kingdom was kept empty, and no one lived there. Since the kingdoms did not share the same borders(边界), the people could not fight about them.
On Bali, even children were not allowed to fight. If two children started a fight over a toy, someone separated them. When two boys argued, they would agree not to speak to each other. Sometimes they did not talk together for months; this gave the boys a chance to forget their anger.
Families who were angry with each other also promised not to speak. Their promise was written down, and the whole village knew about it. If they broke their promise, they had to offer gifts to their gods.

There were two things in the world that Ghagra Geeta Bali hated. The first was the way，Rani，the domestic help．combed her hair．The second was，you guessed it，her name. She hated her name so much that she prayed to god every night：Dear god，let me be born again. So I can have a name like Rita or Preeti．A short，smart one-word name.
On Tuesday，Ghagra Geeta Bali and her mother went for their usual shopping. There was a long queue of children just outside the record store．They went loser to look. It was yet another scheme to sell a few audio cassettes．Everyone who bought a cassette qualified for the scheme.
In this case，the artist whose songs were featured on the cassette was a young sensation called Malik Fafidabadi，a great favorite with teenagers. Ghagra Geeta Bali was no exception.
A friendly young man was writing down the names of the people who wanted to participate in the scheme．Out of this long list Malik would pick one name，and the chosen one would get to meet him．plus of course，win many freebies（赠品）.
But when her mother asked her to participate，Ghagra Geeta Bali said no. She didn't want to speak out her name in front of so many people and make herself the butt（笑料）of amusement. But mothers being mothers，she just went up to the man and told him in firm tones：“Please enter my daughter's name. It is Ghagra Geeta Bali.”
“It is what?” the man asked，naturally a little taken aback.
“G-h-a-g-r-a G-e-e-t-a B-a-l-i. There she is，”she replied while pointing to her daughter. The crowd standing around also turned to stare. All Ghagra Geeta Bali wanted then was for the earth to open up and swallow her.
That did not happen．But the following week she received a call．It was from the recording company that had announced the scheme. And they told her that she was the chosen one
“It is all because of your name，” said the public relations man who had called.“Mr Faridabadi took one look at it in the list and said that he couldn't wait to meet the brave girl bearing it．”

     If you were walking around a supermarket and saw a woman with a shaved head, a ring through her
nose, a totem design on her arm and she has a small child in her shopping trolley, what would your
opinion be? Do you think this kind of body decoration is attractive or ugly? Different people have different ideas. The following are some examples of body decoration from around the world.
    In many parts of Africa, it is thought that an attractive girl should have really shinny skin. On Bali, a little island in Indonesia, they believe that a beautiful woman or a handsome man must have perfectly straight,
flat teeth. The Balinese believe that teeth with pointed edges make you look like an ugly wild animal. So
when a girl or boy becomes a teenager, he or she is taken to a special person in their village who will file
off teeth points to make them smooth and flat. There is no anesthetic and this tooth filing is really painful. It
is a kind of test. If you can stand it without screaming or crying too much, then you are thought ready to
become an adult.
     In Myanmar, there is a small group of people who are called the "Padaung". They believe that a woman can only be really beautiful if she has a long neck. I mean a VERY long neck. Now you might think that
you are either born with a long or short neck and that there's nothing whatever you can do about it. But
you would be wrong! At around the age of 5, a Padaung girl has heavy metal rings fitted around her neck,
tightly between the chin and shoulders. Each year more rings are added and very, very slowly their weight pushes the shoulders down, in this way making the neck look longer. A Padaung woman will wear her
neck rings all her life, never once taking them off.
    So now I'm sure you will all agree that different people have different ideas about what is beautiful.

1. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 1?

A. Women's design.
B. Beautiful body decoration.
C. Attractive decoration.
D. Body decoration.

2. What does the underlined word "trolley" in the first paragraph mean?

A. handbag
B. luggage
C. shopping cart
D. basket

3. On Bali, it is believed that _____________.

A. a person with sharp teeth looks ugly
B. a person with straight, flat teeth looks ugly
C. a teenager's teeth points must be filed off with anesthetic
D. no one will scream or cry when having his teeth points filed off

4. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Most African people think that a girl with shinny skin is beautiful.
B. Many people think that woman with a ring through nose is neither attractive nor ugly.
C. It is thought that a beautiful woman should have straight, flat teeth on Bali.
D. Some people think it beautiful that a woman has a long neck in Myanmar.

5. What is the best title of the passage?

A. Who Is a Beautiful Woman?
B. Inner beauty
C. Different Ideas about Beautiful
D. Body Decoration

Swiss national Louis Palmer realized a childhood dream when he set off from his home country on July 3, 2007 traveling over desert, city and sea in 17 countries by a “solar taxi” to reach UN Climate Change Conference in Bali, Indonesia.

“In 1986, I was a 14-year-old boy. I was dreaming that when I would be an adult, I wanted to drive around the world.” He told reporters.

“Then it came to my mind, how can I travel around the world and enjoy the beauty of this world with a car that is polluting the world? Then I thought the perfect car would be a solar car.”

His car, which has become a major attraction at the gate of the summit of some 188 nations, was built in three years with scientific help from four universities and 15 Swiss companies.

The car pulls a trailer with six square metres of solar panel which soaks up the sun. The electricity is fed into the battery which powers the car, and the car can run for up to 100 kilometres a day.

“It’s the first time in history that a car is driving around the world without a single drop of petrol,” boasted Palmer, a teacher by training.

His epic solar journey is not his first adventure--- he went across Africa on a bicycle and North America in a light aircraft.

So far, Palmer has gone by land through Europe and the Middle East, then by sea to India and on to Indonesia.

After covering much of Asia, Australia, North America and Africa, he will return to Switzerland to try and drum up supports for the commercial possibilities of solar cars.

42. As a teenager, Louis Palmer ________.

A. was determined to travel around the world

A. nobody there was interested in his car

B. many people came to see his car at the gate

C. he was not the owner of the solar taxi

D. the vehicle had cost him a lot money

44. Compared with ordinary cars, Palmer’s car ________.

A. runs much faster B. is less expensive
