One day, Mr. Arnold was teaching a lesson, and things were going as normally as ever. He was explaining the story of human being to his pupils. He told them that, in the beginning, men were nomads (游牧); they never stayed in the same place for very long. Instead, they would travel about, here and there, in search of food, wherever it was to be found. And when the food ran out, they would move off somewhere else.

He taught them about the invention of farming and keeping animals. This was an important discovery, because by learning to cultivate (耕作) the land, and care for animals, mankind would always have food steadily. It also meant that people could remain living in one place, and this made it easier to set about tasks that would take a long while to finish, like building towns, cities, and all that were in them. All the children were listening attracted by this story, until Lucy jumped up:

“And if that was so important and improved everything so much, why are we nomads all over again, Mr. Arnold?”

Mr. Arnold didn’t know what to say. Lucy was a very clever girl. He knew that she lived with her parents in a house, so she must know that her family were not nomads; so what did she mean?

“We have all become nomads again,” continued Lucy, “The other day, outside the city, they were cutting the forest down. A while ago a fisherman told me how they fish. It’s the same with everyone: when there’s no more forest left the foresters go elsewhere, and when the fish run out the fishermen move on. That’s what the nomads did, isn’t it?

The teacher nodded, thoughtfully. Really, Lucy was right. Mankind had turned into nomads. Instead of looking after the land in a way that we could be sure it would keep supplying our needs, we kept developing it until the land was bare. And then off we would go to the next place! The class spent the rest of the afternoon talking about what they could do to show how to be more civilized (文明的).

The next day everyone attended class wearing a green T-shirt, with a message that said “I am not a nomad!”

And, from then on, they set about showing that indeed they were not. Every time they knew they needed something, they made sure that they would get it using care and control. If they needed wood or paper, they would make sure that they got the recycled kind. They ordered their fish from fish farms, making sure that the fish they received were not too young and too small. They only used animals that were well cared for, and brought up on farms.

And so, from their little town, those children managed to give up being nomads again, just as prehistoric men had done, so many thousands of years ago.

69. Why would early humans travel about in the beginning?

A. To experience different lifestyles.           B. To go sightseeing in different places.

There is good and bad news for parents today. The word “mother” has been voted the most beautiful word in the English language. But “father” failed even to make it on the list of the 70 best words in a survey of thousands of non-English speakers across the world. From Ankara to Zurich, “mother” was voted above “love”, “smile” and “blossom”.

    In second place was “passion”, followed by “smile”, “love” and “eternity”, with “fantastic”, “destiny”, “freedom”, “liberty” and “tranquility” completing the top 10.

   The results were given by the British Council (英国文化协会)which carried out a huge survey of more than 40,000 people in 102 non-English speaking countries.

    The study was done to celebrate the group’s 70th anniversary —and it threw up a few surprising words to the list.

    “It's interesting that ‘mother’, the only word of the 70 that describes a direct relationship between people, came top of the poll (投票)”,said British Council spokesman Greg Selby. “It is great to see words in the survey that are so positive and suggestive of the British Council’ s purpose -- words such as ‘freedom’, ‘liberty’, ‘peace’.”

    Those surveyed were allowed to choose their words on either meaning or sound, said Mr. Selby. This explained why words that are satisfying to pronounce, like “flip-flop”, made the list.

    Famous mothers like Kate Winslet, Elle Macpherson and Claudia Schiffer have all done their bit to make the word popular.

    Kate, 28, even stopped shooting Woody Allen's new film to spend more time with her young family.

    Singer Robbie Williams is proud to express his love for his mother, while actor Peter Kay went through a marathon British tour to pay for a new house for his mom.

    The mood (情绪) was added to by Britney Spears, yesterday as she showed her love for her mother.

She said: “My mom was and still is a supermom. She is just so much fun and I think the reason why I love so much her is because she’s a young mom.”

    She added: “Mom, thanks for being the best role model—you rock.”

65. Which of the following shows the correct order of the first five words?

   A. Mother, smile, passion, love and eternity.

   B. Mother, passion, smile, love and eternity.

   C. Mother, smile, love, eternity and passion.

   D. Mother-in-law, passion, smile, love and eternity.

66. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?

   A. It is Kate Winslet, Elle Macpherson and Claudia Schiffer that made their efforts to make the word “mother” popular.

   B. Kate stopped shooting a new film in order to stay with her family.

   C. Peter Kay took part in a marathon in order to pay for a new house for his mother.

   D. Britney Spears took pride in her mother.

67. What does the underlined words in the last paragraph mean?

   A. You are great.                            B. You like rock and roll.

   C. It is the cradle (摇篮) that you rock.        D. You shake.

68. What do you think is the best title of the passage?

   A. Mother is the most beautiful word in the English language.

   B. Mother is the first word in the English language.

   C. Mother should be respected.

   D. A survey on the word--“mother”

A rat looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package. What food might it contain? He was frightened to discover that it was a rat trap. 

Going back to the farmyard, the rat gave a warning: “There is a rat trap in the house, a rat trap in the house!” The chicken raised her head and said, “Excuse me, Mr. Rat, I can tell this is a big concern to you, but it is of no business to me. I cannot be bothered with it. ”

The rat turned to the pig and told him: “There is a rat trap in the house, a rat trap in the house!” “I am so very sorry, Mr. Rat,” sympathized (同情) the pig, “but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. I will make sure that you are in my prayers. ”

The rat turned to the cow. She said, “Wow, Mr. Rat. A rat trap. I am in great danger. Huh?”

So the rat returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer’s rat trap alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a rat trap catching its prey (猎物). The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see that it was a poisonous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer’s wife.

The farmer rushed her to the hospital. She returned home with a fever. Now everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet (短柄斧) to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient (原料).

His wife’s sickness continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them the farmer killed the pig.

The farmer’s wife did not get well. She died, and so many people came for her funeral (葬礼) that the farmer had the cow killed to provide meat for all of them to eat.

So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that when there is a rat trap in the house, the whole farmyard is at risk.
