Going back as far as I can remember as a child in an Indian area，I had no senses of know?ing about the other people around me except that we were all somehow equal. . . There was only one class. Nobody was interested in getting on top of anybody else.
You could see it in our games. Nobody organized them. There weren't any competitive sports. But we took part in lots of activities and we were organized, but not in the sense that there were wars of finding out who had won and who had lost. We played balls like everyone else,but no one kept scores. Even if we did formally take part in the games we played, no one was a winner though someone may have won. It was only at that moment. If you beat someone by pulling a bow and arrow and shooting the arrow further, it didn't mean you were better in any way. It just meant that at that particular time the arrow went further;maybe it was just the way you let the bow go. These kinds of things are very important to me and that is why I am talking about them.
One of the very important things was the relationship we had with our families. We didn't always live at home. We lived wherever we happened to be at that particular time when it got dark. If you were two or three miles away from home，then that was where you slept.

( ) 2. What does the underlined word "competitive" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. United. B. Breaking. C. Common. D. Fighting. ( ) 3. From the passage, we can infer that
A. they pretended to lose when they could win the games
B. they didn't think it was very important who was the winner among their activities
C. they didn't hold any activities which could produce winners or losers
D. they thought it was a good idea that no one could win in their activities ( ) 4. In their area,it was said that
A. people could spend their nights anywhere whether it was their home or not

D. strange people had to spend their nights in the field when it got dark
I have a rule for travel：never carry a map. I prefer to ask for directions.
Foreign visitors are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don't have names. In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers， " Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop."
In the countryside of the American Midwest, usually there are not many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat(平坦的).In many places there are no towns or build?ings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. In Kansas or Iowa,for example, people will say, "Go north two miles. Turn east,and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map―they measure(测量)distance by means of time,not miles. "How far away is the post office?" you ask. "Oh," they answer, "it's about five minutes from here. " You say, "Yes,but how many miles away is it?" They don't know.
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because visitors seldom understand the Greek language. Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, "Follow me.”Then he'll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
Sometimes a person doesn't know the answer to your question. What happens in this situa?tion ('清形)？A New Yorker might say, "Sorry,I have no idea. "But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers "I don't know". People in Yucatan think that "I don't know" is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A visitor can get very,very lost in Yucatan！
One thing will help you everywhere―in Japan,in the United States, in Greece, in Mexico, or in any other place. You might not understand a person's words, but maybe you can understand his body language. He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction. Go in that direction, and you may find the post office！

Some desert animals can survive the summer heat and dryness because they are very unusual. The camel, for example, can experience and bear an increase in the temperature of its body and its blood of 9t without anything bad happening to it. In addition, it can drink a lot of water at one time;then store enough water in parts of its body to supply its needs for two weeks or more. The kangaroo rat,on the other hand,gets all the water it needs from water that it pro?duces when it breathes. However, most animals need to maintain a fairly constant body temper?ature,and will die if it rises more than 5^. Therefore, they need to find some way to stay away from the heat of the summer sun. Nor can many animals either store or produce water in their bodies, as the camel and kangaroo rat can. So they must find ways to keep their bodies from losing water because of the heat.
Because very few desert animals can survive the high temperature of a typical summer day， most of them are active only in the night. Only after the sun has set does the desert come fully to life. The night is relatively cool,and the darkness provides protection, not only from the sun,but also from other animals and from the birds. So the coming of darkness is the signal for the large majority of animals and insects to start again their search for water and food. When morn?ing comes，most of them seek shelter again：many go underground;nearly all find some dark and cool place where they can keep away from the sun's heat.
For many species of insects, living in the desert is easier than for animals. Like many des?ert plants，they have a waterproof skin which prevents water loss because of the high tempera?ture. In addition, some species spend all or most of their life below ground. Here,for most of the year at least, there is some moisture, and it is generally cooler than on the surface. In the case of ants，only adults leave the underground nests，and they do so only to gather food or to defend the nest against attack.

A. a very low body temperature

( ) 2. The kangaroo rat is different from other animals in that
A. it can produce water through breathing
B. it can store water in parts of its body
C. it can maintain different body temperatures
D. it can drink a lot of water at a time
( ) 3. Why is it easy for many species of insects to live in the desert?
A. Because it is not difficult for them to survive there.
B. Because they are not afraid of the heat.
C. Because it is not difficult for them to find food there.
D. Because they have a waterproof skin.
( ) 4. Why is the desert full of activity in summer nights?
A. Because it is cooler and safer for most animals.
B. Because animals can find food in the dark.
C. Because it is easy to find water at night.
D. Because animals cannot sleep at night.
