On the evening of June 21, 1992, a tall man with brown hair and blue eyes entered the beautiful hall of the Bell Tower Hotel in Xi’an with his bicycle. The hotel workers received him and telephoned the manager, for they had never seen a bicycle in the hotel hall before though they lived in “the kingdom of bicycles.”
Robert Friedlander, an American, arrived in Xi’an on his bicycle trip across Asia which started last December in New Delhi, India.
When he was 11, he read the book Marco Polo and made up his mind to visit the Silk Road. Now, after 44 years, he was on the Silk Road in Xi’an and his early dreams were coming true.
Robert Friedlander’s next destinations were Lanzhou, Dunhuang, Urumqi, etc. He will complete his trip in Pakistan.
36. The best headline for this newspaper article would be .
A. The Kingdom of Bicycles B. A Beautiful Hotel in Xi’an
C. Marco Polo and the Silk Road D. An American Achieving His Aims
37 The hotel workers told the manager about Friedlander coming to the hotel because .
A. he asked to see the manager
B. he entered the hall with a bike
C. the manager had to know about all foreign guests

Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime（消遣）, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food．What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
40．According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?
A. Those who often take exercise.
B．Those who often watch television.
C．Those who often have meals at home.
D．Those who often walk to school.
41．The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because
A．their parents often cook meals for them
B．they are too busy to go out and play
C．they can' t choose what to eat
D．there are too many fast food shops around
42．The word "steering" underlined in the last sentence most probably means _______.
A．forcing B．guiding C．driving D．moving
43．The main purpose of the text is to _________.
A．tell a story B．provide facts C．give advice D．compare opinions
C
Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job．In many European countries -- like the UK or France -- people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand．I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled．After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
44．In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _____.
A．develop closer relations B．share the same culture
C．get to know each other D．keep each other company
45．The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _________.
A．the English prefer to make long speeches
B．too many words are of no use
C．people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature
D．even talk and silence can be culturally different
46．According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?
A．By sharing different ways of life. B．By accepting different habits.
C．By recognizing different values. D．By speaking each other' s languages.
47．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Multicultural Environment. B．Cross-Cultural Differences.
C．How to Understand Each Other. D．How to Build Up a Relationship.

Every 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 of the nation.
Today in America, if you ask the high school students to list their heroes, their choices 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 do have talent but one wonders if one should hold up rock stars as a model. The rock stars too often are involved 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 more in a hero than such things as money and good clothes.
A second type of hero for the American youth is the sports stars. Again you have 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 mess. Too frequently drugs and drinking are a part of life of the sports stars.
A third type of hero is the TV or movie stars. These persons may have lots of acting talent and are quite handsome. However, they should not be held up as a model for 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 doctor, 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 follow their styles. If the heroes of today for the American youngsters are limited only to rock stars, athletes and actors, the future does not look too bright.
48. From the passage, we know that the heroes the American youth admire are those _____.
A. who are not bright but are good-looking
B. who are rich but are strict with themselves
C. who are talented in some area but lead an improper life
D. who are perfect in all areas
49. According to the writer, people should admire those _____.
A. who are rich and wear the latest fashionable clothes
B. who can express people’s feelings
C. whose personal life is good
D. who work in the interest of the people
50. What is the writer’s attitude towards American youth’s admiration?
A. He understands it B. He criticizes it
C. He is angry about it D. He is uninterested in it

Kids' health: Four steps for fighting stress
Everybody gets stressed time to time. 51 . Some ways of dealing with stress---like screaming or hitting someone---don't solve (解决)much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.
Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:
(1) Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to
trusted adult, such as “parent or other relatives.” 52 . They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.
(2) Don't take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that's not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Don't take it out on yourself. 53 .
(3) Try to solve the problem. After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends, it's time to get down to business. 54___ . Even if you can't solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.
(4) Be positive. Most stress is temporary(暂时的). Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it. These steps aren't magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you'll help yourself feel better even faster. 55 .
A. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.
B. Notice your friends' feelings and find a way to help them.
C. Different people feel stress in different ways
D. Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.

I take the bus to school every day when I was young. Alvin, our bus driver, picked out twenty kids in our area and dropped me off after school. Because my family was poor, so my parents seldom bought snack for me. About once the month he would make a stop at a local store and buy each of us an ice cream. The kindness that he showed was amazed. Remembering the kindness he showed, I called him up ten years late and thanked him. I told him that he probable didn’t remember me, but I still remembered him. I could hear the smile in his voice when he thanked me calling.
