Have you ever been to the following places? If not, try to find a chance to visit them. Fez, Morocco

Fez, about 240 miles northeast from Marrakech, a wonderful scene is taking root slowly. It started with immigrants building castles, and continues as hotels and restaurants. The

Among them are the Hotel Dylan in Woodstock, the Arnold House in Livingston Manor, with its bar and diminutive spa（水疗中心）.So now is the time to enjoy fly-fishing, hiking and other peaceful experiences.

Rotterdam, Netherlands

The constantly unfolding city center in Rotterdam has become one amazing explosion of style, which surprised the tourists greatly.

It also happens to be Holland's largest artwork. Chengdu, China

Famous for its 1,600 pandas, most of which still live in the wild, Chengdu has introduced a 72-hour no-visa policy that makes it easier for Americans to drop in on one of the city's three major panda research facilities.

Last Thursday I was invited to attend the Intern Induction Day in Al Khor. We met in Doha at 7 a. m and then we got on a bus.

On the bus, there were 20 national interns(实习生) and an international one, who was me. Though I had talked to some of them, I didn't know which of them I had talked to. All of the

3

women were wearing a veil(面纱) and the men were wearing a white robe( 长袍). So I just sat in my seat, talking to no one while they were talking with each other. I felt a bit awkward and thought I was different. Also, even if I recognized those I had talked to, I couldn't just go and talk with them. Why? It was because I had forgotten their names. They had very strange and long names. I just couldn't remember them.

In Al Khor, I spent most of the time by myself. Finally it was time to return. Things went well at first, but then there came a sandstorm. It was windy terribly. On the bus we saw some car accidents. The road we had taken was shut, so we had to find another road. At some points it was impossible to see anything, so we had to stop completely.

I must have looked very anxious then. I hadn't experienced anything like that before, after all. Some of the other interns came and comforted me, telling me that everything would be fine. In this country sandstorms aren't rare. They must have got used to them. With their comfort I calmed down. And I felt much closer to them. I felt cared.

Finally we returned safely. We said goodbye to each other before we went separately. And

I looked forward to seeing them again.

27. We can infer that after that experience, the author .

A .became scared of sandstorms B. no longer feared other people

C. decided to become an intern there

D. made friends with other interns

C

You don’t have to be a superhero to help the environment. Even small, simple actions can add up to big change. People around the world will celebrate Earth Day on April 22. But anyone – including kids – can work to help the earth at any time. TFK (Time for Kids) talked to a few kids about how they are protecting the planet. Let them inspire you!

Mari, 10, lives in Flint, Michigan, where people have been without clean drinking water since 2014. That is when the water became polluted with lead（铅）. Children in Flint have

4

suffered from health problems due to lead poisoning. Mari has worked hard to spread awareness of Flint’s water crisis by organizing fundraisers and other events.

At age 3, Ryan went with his dad to recycling center near his home, in Orange County, California. The next day, Ryan began collecting recyclables from neighbors. Soon, Ryan’s Recycling Company was born. “Recycling keeps bottles and cans out of the ocean,” Ryan, now 8, told TFK, “so animals don’t get sick from them and die.” So far, Ryan has helped customers recycle 320,000 bottles and cans. He has also donated nearly $6,000 to the Pacific Marine Mammal Center.

Joris, 11, has always loved cheetahs. When he learned that the big cats might disappear in his lifetime, he set out to help protect them. Joris began raising money. So far, Joris has raised more than $14,000. The money goes to a wildlife sanctuary（避难所）in Namibia, a country in Africa. This helps prevent the animals from being killed. Jorin has spent three summers volunteering at the sanctuary.

It seems that great artists and scientists often suffer from mental problems. Both Einstein and Dickens had mental illness. Now scientists have started to look at whether mental illness and genius are linked（联系）.

Dr. Adele Juda studied 5,000 creative people in Germany. She found there were more people with mental illness in this group than in the general population. Poets had the highest rate （比例） of mental illness, followed by musicians, with lower numbers for painters and architects.

Other scientists did research which also showed a strong link between mental problems and creativity. But, it did nothing to explain it.

5

Dr．Ruth Richards of Harvard University made a breakthrough. Instead of studying creative people, she took a group of psychiatric（精神病的） patients and tested them for creativity. The patients got much higher scores than a normal group.

Also, the patients' close relatives were much more creative than the patients and a normal group. This suggests that the key to the link between creativity and mental illness is in our genes（基因）.

But this is a problem. According to Darwinism, harmful genes should be removed. Some scientists believe that evolution（进化） has created a balance, where the madness of a few people leads to the development of the whole human race.

Geniuses may be mad, bad or just difficult to understand, but their discoveries have improved the world we live in. It seems that a little creative madness is good for us all.

32. According to Dr. Adele Juda, which of the following group has the lowest rate of mental illness?

A. Painters.

B. Musicians.

C. Poets.

D. Bus drivers.

33. The underlined phrase "made a breakthrough" in the fourth paragraph means .

A. discover or find something new and important

B. make a way through using force

C.（of the sun or moon） appear from behind （clouds）

D. suddenly change （from a slower to a faster pace）

34. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Among the 5,000 creative people in Germany, more people suffer from mental diseases than the general population.

B. There is a strong link between mental problems and creativity.

C. Psychiatric patients make greater contributions than common people.

D. The key to the link between creativity and mental illness is in our genes.

35. What is the writer's attitude toward madness?

A. Madness is harmful to the whole society.

B. A little creative madness is good for us all．.

C. All the talented people are mad.

D. Only the people with mental illness have more creativity.

Why do many people play sports? You might say “to get exercise’’ and you’d be right. To have fun? That’s true, too. But there’s more. 36 According to the Women’s Sports Foundation, girls who play sports get a lot more than just fit.

Girls who play sports do better in school. 37 But research shows that girls who play sports do better in school than those who don’t. Exercise improves learning, memory, and concentration, which can give active girls an advantage in the classroom.

Girls who play sports learn teamwork and goal-setting skills. Sports teaches valuable life skills. When you working with coaches, trainers, and teammates to win games and achieve goals, you’re learning how to be successful. 38

Sports are good for a girl’s health. In addition to being fit and maintaining a healthy weight, girls who play sports are also less likely to smoke. And later in life, girls who exercise are less likely to get breast cancer.

39 Girls who play sports feel better about themselves. Why? It builds confidence when you know you can practice, improve, and achieve your goals. Sports are also a feel-good activity because they help girls get in shape, maintain a healthy weight, and make new friends. Exercise cuts the pressure. Playing sports can lessen stress and help you feel a little happier. How? 40 Friends are another mood-lifter. And being on a team creates tight bonds between friends. It’s good to know your teammates will support you—both on and off the field!

A. Please take action to play games.

B. Playing sports boosts self-confidence.

C. Playing sports is good for your grades.

D. In fact, there are at least 5 more reasons.

Dear Jerry,

My classmates and I really enjoy your excellent teaching, but we think you can make some improvements in some aspects. I am writing to offer you some advice.

To begin with, I hope you can speak more slowly when giving us lessons because some students find it hard to keep up with you. What’s more, we will have a better understanding of the text if you can combine the learning materials with some western culture. Further more, we expect to see some classic English movies in the language lab after class in order to broaden our horizon. Finally, we hope you can organize the English Corner regularly to help us practice speaking English, by which we can improve our spoken English quickly.

Yours sincerely, Li Hua

Dear Jerry,

My classmates and I really enjoy your excellent teaching, but I am wondering if you could give thought to our suggestions for the improvement of your teaching.

To begin with, would you please speak more slowly when giving us lessons because some students have difficulty in following you? What’s more, it would be better if you could introduce to us western culture while teaching texts, which we are eager to learn about. Further more, we believe it would be a good idea to offer us more opportunities to put English into practice, such as seeing some classic English movies in the language lab and organizing the English Corner regularly. Do you think so?

12

We would appreciate it if you could take our suggestions into consideration. Yours sincerely,

Li Hua
