Paul answered "Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas." The boy was surprised. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it cost you nothing Boy, I wish…" He hesitated.
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He wished he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
"I wish," the boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that." Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, "Would you like to take a ride in my car " "Oh yes, I'd love that."
After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said. "Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house "

In England, recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited. About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seemed all at sea and looked embarrassed. No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus.
Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised by just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty.
28. The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the gentlemen____________.
A. were foreigners B. didn't have tickets
C. made a loud noise D. didn't line up for the bus
29. According to the article, if you want to have a pleasant journey in a foreign country, you should____________.
A. learn the language of the country
B. understand the manners and customs of the country
C. have enough time and money
D. make friends with the people there
30. What does the underlined phrase "at sea" probably mean
A. Tired. B. Disappointed. C. Confused. D. Pleased.
31. In India, it is considered impolite to____________.
A. pass food with the left hand B. use the right hand for passing food at table
C. shake your head D. nod your head

The development of China's space program was first suggested in 1956 by the father of Chinese rocket science, Qian Xuesen（1911-2009）. As a result of extensive preparation and planning, the Shenzhou crewed program began in 1992, and the first Chinese astronaut, Yang Liwei, went into space in 2003. Chang'e-1, a lunar orbiter was launched in 2007, while Tiangong-1, an experimental crewed space station was launched in 2011.
In 2019, Chang'e-4 made a soft landing on the far side of the moon. It was mankind's first successful soft landing on the far side of the moon. A "soft" landing is one where the spacecraft lands in a controlled way, and gets no damage. Twelve hours later, the small Yutu-2 roverl2 was released. To understand why Chang'e-4's soft landing was such an achievement, consider the difficulty of any space mission, especially one to the far side of the moon. While the far side of the moon is often called the dark side of the moon, it is not really dark.
The main problem with landing on the far side of the moon is communication. There is no clear line of sight between the far side of the moon and the Earth. This normally makes radio communication with spacecraft on the far side of the moon impossible. Chinese engineers came up with a unique solution. Before Chang'e-4's mission（任务）, they sent the Queqiao communications satellite into space. When engineers needed to communicate with Chang'e-4 and Yutu-2, they could send radio messages to Queqiao. The messages would then be sent from the satellite down to the Lander and rover. This allowed for contact between Earth and the far side of the moon.
One of the experiments of Chang'e-4's mission was designed to test a closed ecological（生态的）system that could be extremely important for long-term space missions: The plants produce food and oxygen for the fruit flies, while the fruit flies produce carbon dioxide for the plants. This experiment worked for nine days, but it had to be stopped when the temperatures dropped below -52°C.
32. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true
A. The first Chinese astronaut, Yang Liwei, went into space in 2007.
B. Qian Xuesen is considered the father of the Chinese space program.
C. The development of space program in China started in ancient times.
D. The Chinese space program has been advancing with preparation and planning.
33. Why was Chang'e-4's landing on the moon such an achievement
A. Because Chang'e-4 landed on the moon successfully.
B. Because Chang'e-4 made a soft landing on the dark side of the moon.
C. Because man had never landed on the moon with the difficulty of space mission.
D. Because it was the first time that humans had landed on the moon without any damage.
34. Why was the ecological experiment on Chang'e-4 stopped
A. It got too dark to continue.
B. The Lander no longer had power.
C. It got too cold for the experiment to work.
D. There was not enough oxygen on the moon.
35. Where is this passage probably from
A. A story book B. A textbook C. A science fiction D. A magazine

根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In a world surrounded by bad news, it may feel like an unhappy place sometimes. 36
If you make even one person smile today, you can help make this world a better place. Here is list of ideas to help you.
37 In this day and age where everything is sent via the Internet, it's a shock to receive a letter through the post. Putting pen to paper and writing a few words to a friend can be an easy way to make a positive impact.
Requiring some time and research to find the perfect project, volunteering is one of the nicest things you can do. Whether you volunteer at your local youth group or take dogs from shelters for a walk, the simple fact that you are giving up your time to help someone else is incredible. There are so many opportunities. 38
Tell someone "I love you". It can be anyone. 39 Perhaps you can tell a friend that you appreciate all they are to you, or remind your mum that it's her birthday. Sometimes, in our busy lives we forget to take a moment to tell people what they mean to us.
40 Whether you're creative or not, taking time to make something for someone else shows how much you appreciate them. Even if you think you're not creative, the recipient will feel lucky to get such a unique gift that you put your precious time into. Some ideas could include a card, painting, drawing, song, poem or cake!
A. However, you can make a difference.
B. It's a surprise to send a handwritten letter.
C. And you don't even have to say "I love you"
D. So you are sure to find one that is right for you.
E. And it doesn't necessarily have to take up all your life.
F. Making something for a special person is always unique.
G. Even a postcard with a couple of sentences could really make someone's day.
