16．Argentina in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place．Around 1870，it was experiencing an economic（经济的）boom，and the capital，Buenos Aires，attracted many people．Farmers，as well as a flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy，came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs．These jobs didn't pay well，and the people felt lonely and disappointed with their new life in the city．As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city，the dance known as the tango（探戈舞）came into being．
At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes．It was danced in the bars and streets．At that time there many fewer women than men，so if a man didn't want to be left out，his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women．Gradually，the dance spread into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable．
In Europe at this time，strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning．The interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris．Every kind of dance from ballet（芭蕾舞）to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters of the Paris theaters．After tango dances from Argentina arrive in Europe，they began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exiting dance in cafes．Though not everyone approved of the new dance，saying it was a little too shocking，the dance did find enough supporters to make it popular．
The popularity（流行）of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world．Soldiers who returned to the United States from World War I brought the tango to North America．It reached Japan in 1926，and in 2003the Argentinean embassy in Seoul hired a local tango dancer to act an a kind of dance ambassador，and promote tango dancing throughout South Korea．

20．I learned my first lesson from my grandparents when I was young．They both grew up in very large families and lived through the Great Depression．Saving for a rainy day was their life philosophy．Rather than seeking fulfillment through material items，they chose to spend really simple life together with their family．
   Over the years my grandparents notice dramatic changes in their community．Every year more farmland was destroyed to build larger and larger homes．As real estate（地产） prices rose，many of their neighbors sold their little homes and land．Soon theirs was the only small house surrounded by a sea of mansions．My grandparents built and lived in a small 600-square-foot cottage for most of their adult lives．Lots of family members encouraged my grandparents to expand their little old house．But they didn't want a bigger one．They loved their little house and were content with what they had．
   My grandparents avoided a consumptive  （浪费的 ）  lifestyle by painting and repairing the house themselves．They lived in a small home，but had a huge garden．They loved gardening and planting because it reduced their grocery bill，improved their health，and gave them an excuse to be outside．They also reused and recycled many things．For in-stance．they had driven the same car for over 15  years and didn't buy a new one until the old Chevrolet was worn out．
   From my grandparents，I learned an important lesson：it is possible to live a simple life．My grandparents taught me that living a simple life isn't about self-deprivation（自我牺牲）．Instead，it's about giving yourself the time，freedom，and money to pursue your dreams．Becoming debt free，downsizing to a smaller home，and going out on foot instead of by car are good ways to take control of your life and start pursuing your dreams．

1．I have been consistenly opposed to feeding a baby regularly．As a doctor，mother and scientist in child development I believe there is nothing to recommend it，from the baby's point of view．
Mothers，doctors and nurse alike have no idea of where a baby's blood sugar level lies．All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed．In this state，the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible．The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth．
It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied．The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King who was against feeding in the night．I've never heard anything so ridiculous．Baby feeding shouldn't follow a timetable set by the mum．What is important is feeding a baby In the best way，though it may cause some ineonvenience in the first few weeks．
Well，at last we havecopper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding．The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5，7，11and 14，than babies fed according to the clock．By the age of 8，their IQ （智商）scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable．This
Research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample （样本）of 10，419children born in the early 1990s，taking account of parental education，family income，a child's sex and age，the mother's health and feeling style．These results don't surprise me．Feeling according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels．
I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeling practices．

33．The word copper-bottomed in Paragraph 4is closest in meaning toB．
A．basic   B．reliable   C．surprising    D．interesting
34．What does the research tell us about feeling a baby on demand？D
A．The baby will sleep well．
B．The baby will have its brain harmed．
C．The baby will have a low blood sugar level．
D．The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8．
35．The author supports feeling the babyC．
A．in the night
B．every four hours
C．whenever it wants food
D．according to its blood sugar level．
2．In English the spelling of words does not always represent the sound．So people say/rait/but spell it right or write，or even rite．Combinations of letters may be pronounced in many ways．And some words just seem to have too many letters．
　 For Americans things are a little bit easier，thanks to the work of Noah Webster，a teacher who graduated from Yale University in 1778．As a young man，he had fought against the British in the American War of Independence，and he felt that written English in the newly independent United States should have a distinctive American look．
　 So he began his work on American English．His first book，The Elementary Spelling Book，suggested simplifying the spelling of English words．The book was extremely popular．By the 1850s，it was selling one million copies a year，making it one of the most popular school books ever．
　 Many of the suggestions were quickly adopted．Center instead of centre，program instead of programme，and flavor instead of flavour．Others，however，such as removing silent letters like s in island or the final e in examine，were not．
   Webster is best known for his American Dictionary of the English language，which first appeared in 1828．It introduced lots of new American words，with information about their pronunciation and use，and，of course，the new spelling．The British criticized the dictionary，but it quickly became a standard reference book in the States．Today，Webster's dictionary is still the number one dictionary for American students．

A．②①③④B．③①②④C．④①③②D．①②③④
7．What can we learn from the text？A
