I built a wall around my garden to keep the wild goats away.Then when my crop (庄稼) bore its fruit, the birds discover
20、ed it. The birds were not afraid of my dog at all. I shot them but as soon as I walked away, they returned. At last, I killed some birds and hung them among the crop, hoping they would serve as the scarecrows（稻草人）, which turned out to be successful. By harvest time, I had nearly two bushels of rice
21、and two and a half bushels of wheat.5With my new grain to store, I found a new problem. The fine grain ran through my baskets. It took me nearly two months to form and dry two ugly pots one for rice and one for wheat.Next I formed a clay oven and made some other tools from hard wood and cloth to bak
22、e bread. I made and baked bread in my oven. I spent the third year on the island in farming and baking.Soon after that, I began to think of my days sailing in a tidy boat with Xury. I wished to have a boat and explore the island by sea. I tried to turn over the ships boat that I had seen washed up,
23、but failed. I was still determined（坚决的）to have a boat. So I chose a strong tree and spent weeks cutting it down. Then it took me months to turn it from tree to boat.When it was time to launch, I realized I had made my boat too far from the nearest stream. The boat was far too heavy for me to move. I
24、 tried bringing the water to the boat instead of the boat to the water.

Taken from The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe 24Paragraph 2 main

27、 solve the problems with his courage and wisdom.CEvery country has its heroes. The heroes are the people the nation and especially the young people admire. If you get a list of the heroes of a nation, it will tell you the potential (潜力) of that nation.Today in America, if you ask the high school stu
28、dents to list their heroes, their choice would probably fall into three groups. The first group of heroes would be the rock stars the people connected with rock music. There is no doubt that such people 6do have talent but one wonders if one should hold up rock stars as a model. The rock stars too o
29、ften are mixed with drugs and their personal life is not all that good. The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles. However, one should seek (寻觅) more in a hero than such things as money and good clothes.A second type of hero for the American youth is the sports star. Again you have
30、a person who has a great ability in one area-sports. However, too often the personal life of the sports star is a bit of a disorder. Too frequently (频繁) drugs and drinking are a part of life of the sports star.A third type of hero is the TV or movie star. This person may have lots of acting talent a
31、nd is quite handsome. However, the personal life of too many actors is quite sad and they should not be held up as a model of young people. Today, the rock star, the athlete, and the actor all have become the models of the youth in America. Really, do you hear a young person say that his hero is a d
32、octor, a teacher, or a scientist? These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes. However, they are talented people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone.What is really sad is that the young try to imitate their heroes. They like to wear the same clothes and foll
33、ow their styles. If the heroes of today for the American young people are limited only to rock stars, athletes and actors, the future does not look too bright. 27From the passage, we know that the heroes the American youth admire are those _.A. who are perfect in all areas.B. who are not bright but
34、are good -looking.C. who are rich but are strict with themselves.D. who are talented in some area but lead an improper life.28According to the writer, people should admire those _.A. who are rich and wear the latest fashion clothesB. who work for the interests of the peopleC. who can express peoples

36、 thinking that no question could be ruder than “How old are you?”Yes, asking a persons age will likely get you into trouble, especially if you ask a woman. However, money is just as difficult to ask about as age.In western countries, a persons salary (薪水) is as private as their age. US manners exper
37、t Thomas P. Farley explained why it is a taboo (禁忌). “So much of who we are is based on what we do professionally (专业地) , and by extension (引申开来) , what we earn,” he told Forbes magazine. “In American society, much of the respect we get from others is tied to what we earn. So the subject can be touc
38、hy.”But maybe you are feeling brave and still want to try to find out how much your foreign friend earns. How can you ask the question tactfully? Do not ask, “How much money do you make?” The most likely reply will be, “Thats none of your business.” You may then feel bad. Without knowing, you will h
39、ave made a big cultural mistake. Get over it and try again another time.Ask the person, “What do you do for a living?” or “Whats your job title?” Most people will be happy to give you an answer. After they tell you their job title, you can make a rough (粗略的) guess at their salary based on the averag
40、e salary for someone who does that job.Once you learn their job title, you could say: “Thats interesting. Im thinking about a career in that line of work. Can you give me a rough idea of what the pay is like?” You have a better chance of getting information with a question like this than with a stra
41、ight question.Of course, there are people who choose to avoid answering the question and reply by saying, “Oh, I get by.” Some might jokingly reply, “Not nearly enough.” At this point, its best to change the subject. After all, money isnt everything. 30. What does the article mainly talk about?A. Ho
42、w to deal with sensitive questions. B. How to ask foreigners about their salary. C. The skills of asking some unpleasant questions.D. Private questions that foreigners dont like to discuss.In western countries, its rude to ask a persons salary. CFP831. By using Thomas P. Farleys words, the writer me

46、 the moons far side, was launched successfully on Dec 8, Xinhua reported.The moon rotates (自转) at the same speed that it orbits (绕运行) Earth.
