He has been recognized as the oldest male to surf（冲浪）by the Guinness World Records.But maybe he will just keep surfing. “I think
27、it would be interesting to try to surf until Im 100,” Sano said. “I think I take better care of myself when I have dreams like this. Even now, I take better care of myself than I did before.”Sano said he got the idea to try surfing from a worker at his local bank. The mans skin was always dark and h
28、e did not look like a usual worker. His secret to keep healthy and energetic, he said, was surfing. So, Sano found a teacher.Sano gets out most weekends on the black-sand beach. “I dont consider myself an old man,” he said in his wet suit, board standing next to him. “I have never thought of myself

33、ys a lot from surfingDMany of us have seen rainbows in the sky once the sun starts shining again after it rains. For us to see a rainbow, the conditions need to be just right. We need some water drops in the air, like rain or even fog, and we need the sun to be behind us and quite low to the ground.
34、 This is because a rainbow is created by light passing through water drops.The light that comes from the sun seems white to us. But the white light we see is made up of a mix of different colors. When the light goes through a raindrop, these colors can separate out. Each of the colors in the rainbow
35、 has a different “wavelength” (波长). Raindrops look like little balls. When light hits one of these little balls of water, the light can change direction. We call this “refraction” (折射). Each of the different wavelengths is refracted differently. If the light hits the raindrop at the right place, the
36、 refraction separates the wavelengths out into their different colors.We are taught there are seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. But this isnt exactly true. Blue and green are next to each other in the rainbow, which is why we can see turquoise (a mix of blue and gree
37、n). Brown is a mix of red and green. But they arent next to each other in the rainbow, so we dont see them mix to make brown.We would never see black and white in a rainbow. Black is what we see when theres no light at all. On the other hand, white is a mix of all the colors together. When light is
38、refracted by raindrops, it separates the white light out, meaning it is no longer white.37. We can see a rainbow under the right conditions because _.A. the raindrops are like little ballsB. the light goes through raindropsC. the sunshine seems to be colorfulD. the weather is foggy after it rains38.
39、 According to the passage, what can we know about the colors in the rainbow?A. They can become brown or black.B. There are only seven colors in all.C. They mix to make the white light.D. Their own places can be changed.39. Which part of a magazine may this passage be taken from?A. Science.B. Health.
40、C. Culture.D. Fashion.40. Whats the best title for the passage?A. How are the colors received in the rainbow?B. When can the colors turn blue in the rainbow?C. Which colors arent covered with light in the rainbow?D. Why cant we find white, black and brown in the rainbow?第二节：阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空
