                                Summer survival guide

   Finally ... the season of sun,fun,and freedom!36 Follow these steps to keep yourself healthy and safe.

   Don’t rely on sunscreen. Yes,you need to slather(大量地涂抹) sunscreen on exposed skin,but other precautions are just as important. Seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and protect your skin and face with clothing,a hat,and shades.

   37 If you feel thirsty,you’re already dehydrated (脱水的) —that puts you at an increased risk of hot weather-related illnesses like heat exhaustion and heat stroke ( 中暑).

   Know the signs of heat stroke. When its hot or humid,it becomes harder for your body to release the heat generated during exercise. If your core temperature becomes too high,heat stroke can set in. Avoid ending up in the emergency room by starting slower than normal,then gradually increasing the intensity of your workout over two full weeks. 38 

   Turn down the car radio. Here's a scary fact: 39 So cut out any distractions(分心的事物) while driving 一 from exciting music to texting — that can raise your risk of having an accident.

   Learn these lifesaving swim moves. Drowning is the second-most-common cause of accidental injury or death in adolescents. 40 Stick to zones with a lifeguard present,never swim alone,and learn these simple swimming skills — even if you never plan on getting wet. 1. Turn yourself around in a flill circle while in the water. 2. Float on your back. 3. Tread(踩) water. 4. Swim 25 yards (the length of a standard swimming pool) .

   A. Try to reduce the risk of brain injury.

   B. Float on your back if your arms get tired.

   C. Don’t wait until you’ re thirsty to drink up.

   D. Luckily,there are easy ways to cut this risk.

   E. Try and aim to be back at your usual activity level by day 14.

   F. Dont waste a minute of it feeling anything less than awesome.

   G. The period between May and September is the deadliest time for teen drivers.

   I live in Minnesota,which is unfairly famous for terrible winters. Buffalo is far more wintry,whereas Seattle's winters are more bitter. Our winters tend to be brilliantly sunny and cheerful. But,of course,s different for a visitor.

   Lightweight thermal (保暖的) wear is good. Back in the day,we wore layers and layers of heavy woolens. A boy of 13 carrying 35 pounds of wet wool on his back does not feel very cold. Today you can buy outfits filled with goose feathers as well as thermal boots and caps to keep you warm.

When I was a youth,there was no such phrase as global warming. We never got warm,not even at night,when we slept under piles of blankets because Dad believed that if you couldn,t see your breath ' when you talked,then the thermostat was turned up too high and you were wasting fuel. So 45 degrees was room temperature,and we wore long woolens to bed.

   We arose in the cold,dark dawn,and walked forth into the snowstorm to catch the school bus. We huddled(蜷缩) by the highway,praying for the bus to come,while wolves moved around eyeballing us for signs of sleepiness. When you have survived wolves,then the winters of today are a walk in the park.

   Enduring winter is only a start — embracing(拥抱) winter is what you should struggle for. Winter gives a sense of purpose and saves one from a life of self-gratification,lying down and posting photos on Facebook. You have promises to keep. A sidewalk to clear. Two inches of snow over a layer of ice — you may as well set a leg trap for the elderly as leave the walk unswept.

   You have children to raise. Remove their fingers from their smart phones,and lead them outdoors so they can absorb the wisdom of winter. We are animals. Life is not mainly about self-expression. It is about finding food and clothing and shelter,about sticking with the pack and not wandering off. Everyone,is just as cold as you. No complaining.

32. What are Minnesota's winters like in the author's eyes?

   A. They are wonderful.

   B. They are unbearable.

   C. They are colder than Buffalo’ s.

   Since the invention of Guitar Hero and similar computer games,it is no longer necessary to imagine what it would be like to play along with the Beatles - you can come together with them in the virtual world. 

   Bill Wyman,former bass player in the Rolling Stones,has pointed out that music video games discourage kids from learning to play real instruments. My own experience suggests quite the opposite.

   Last year,I bought Guitar Hero III for our 14-year-old son,Jack. Jack quickly mastered the process and entered an intense period of playing the game.

   A few months later,while I was away on tour,a couple of his friends came around with a real electric guitar. Playing Guitar Hero had taught them how to play along to a track. Now they wanted to see if they could apply that to the real thing. Jack's friends taught him how to play along to his favourite songs using just his index finger on the bass string. He got it right away.

   Guitar Hero had helped him over the first difficulty for guitar players 一 how to strum the strings with one hand while making chord shapes with the other. He never plays Guitar Hero now,preferring to rock out in the garage with his mates.

   Despite my attempts at getting him to learn an instrument,it was Guitar Hero that taught him the basics of playing and built up his confidence to the extent that he was able to make a recognisable sound the first time he plugged in.

   So let's not complain about a game that encourages kids to become music fans and,in our son's case,gives them the basic skills needed to learn how to play guitar.

24. What's Bill Wyman's attitude towards music video games?

   A. Approving. B. Negative.

   C. Unconcerned. D. Curious.

25. The first time Jack played with a real electric guitar,he.

   A. did it successfully

   B. taught his friends how to play

   C. didn't know how to strum the strings

   D. didn’ t know how to play along to a song 

26. Jack's case shows .

   A. Guitar Hero is a useful game .

   B. kids should learn an instrument

   C. parents should encourage their kids

   D. computer games are harmful for kids

27. What's the best title for the text?

   A. A new computer game

   B. The story of a guitarist

   C. In defence of Guitar Hero

   D. The best way to play guitar

   Try to imagine a world without noodles and you may begin to realize just how widespread this thin,tasty food has become. Discoveries in archaeology have proven it to be a surprisingly ancient food,dating back at least to 4000 B. C. Not surprisingly,however,given the noodle's widespread appeal and high status in more than a few culinary(烹任的) traditions,the claim to its invention is often a hotly contested subject.

   Many peoples have laid claim to its origination. Historically,both Italy and the Middle East have particularly battled for the title. Italian cooking is closely connected with the pasta noodle,but surprisingly the oldest recorded use of noodles in Italy only dates back to the 8th century,during the Arab conquest of Sicily,an island of Italy. This fact,along with the appearance of wheat flour in the Middle East around 5000 B. C., has led some to favor the Arab world as the more likely candidate to have first created noodles. However,recent evidence has cast some doubt on this theory,when the oldest known bowl of noodles was discovered in northwestern China.

   In 2002,a sealed bowl was unearthed from beneath ten feet of soil at the Lajia archaeological site,and found to contain a bowl of amazingly well-preserved noodles. After examination,scientists considered them to be about 4,000 years old. It was also determined that the noodles were not made of the wheat flour known at that time throughout the Middle East,but instead of two types of millet grain,which was widely grown tliroughout China as far back as 7,000 years ago.

   One of the most remarkable aspects of the find,however,as archaeochemist Patrick McGovern at the University of Pennsylvania points out,is the degree of skill required to fashion long,thin noodles like those found at Lajia. “This shows a fairly high level of food processing and culinary techniques,” he said.

   Although the Lajia discovery makes China home to the oldest known noodles,the origin of the noodle itself remains one of ancient history's many secrets.

29. There has been a worldwide debate over.

   A. what food is the oldest

   B. where the noodle was invented

   C. when the oldest food was discovered

   D. whether the noodle is the world's most popular food 

30. What can we conclude from Paragraph 2 ?

   A. Wheat flour may come from Sicily Island.

   B. People in the Arab world first made noodles.

   C. The first noodles were made in the 8th century.

   D. Italy is less likely to be the noodle's birthplace.

31. What can we learn about the noodles found in 2002?

   A. They were in good condition.

   B. They were made of wheat flour.

   C. They were made 7,000 years ago.

   D. They were discovered in the Middle East.

32. What did Patrick McGovern wonder at?

   A. The long history of the noodles.

   B. The unique way of storing food.

   C. The way the noodles were made.

   D. The value of the archaeological find.

           3 Brilliant British Races BOGNOR BIRDMAN (JULY 18-19) 

   Every summer,thousands of people from around the world gather in Bognor Regis on the southern coast of England to see who can fly the longest distance in homemade flying machines before jumping into the English Channel. The record,set in 1992,is 292 feet. Frequently,participants compete in special clothes.

            WORLD HEN RACING CHAMPIONSHIPS (AUGUST 1) 

   Chickens are extremely difficult to train,but that doesn 51 stop about 50 international hen owners from entering their birds in the World Hen Racing Championships each year in Bonsall,England. Keeping alive a century-old tradition,the hens race along a 50-foot course. While some owners let their untrained chickens “wing it,” others try to get their chickens into competition shape with daily“sprints (短跑) ” during the months leading up to the race. 

          BRITISH LAWN MOWER RACING ASSOCIATION’S 12-HOUR RACE (AUGUST 8) 

   Mowing the lawn(刈草坪) for 12 hours straight is some people's idea of an impossibility. For others,it's the most interesting part of the summer. Drivers start their engines at 8:00 in the evening,and,in teams of three,work straight through the night until 8:00 the next morning,averaging 25 mph. Last year,the winning team finished a record 311 miles on the course in Billingshurst,England,doing justice to the association's motto: “Per Herbam Ad Astra,” or “Through the Grass to the Stars."
