请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空格1个单词。
Everyone needs a break ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), and vacations are not meant for serious study. Instead, they’re a great way to take a break and enjoy a good book. The Spring Festival is coming up so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English language literature to take on a long train journey or while you’re hanging out with the family.
Before getting ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )into the recommendations, we need to determine your English reading comprehension level so you don’t pick a book which is so challenging that it’s stressful or so simple that it’s boring.
If you’re at the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )beginner level, there are two options: reading a children’s book or reading a book that you’ve read in Chinese translation. This will help you get over any unfamiliar words or phrases, since you’re already familiar with the story. If you’re at the intermediate level, popular books like pop fiction, mysteries and thrillers are good options, as they’ll be guaranteed page turners and that will increase the possibility of your getting all the way through the book. For advanced readers, science fiction, classic works of literature or contemporary prize winners （Booker, Nobel, Pulitzer） are good options.
The most impor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tant thing is to pick a book that you’re really interested in. When I pick up a new book in Chinese, the first few chapters are always really hard to get through, as I have to get accustomed to the way the individual author uses the language. But after the first few chapters, things get a lot easier, especially if I get involved in the story. Some of my favorite Chinese-language eye candy are books that are series like Brothers by Yu Hua or The Dancer by Hai Yan. I like them because there’s always a lot of action and story development to keep me involved, which helps me make it through those first few chapters.
Another great way to k ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eep yourself motivated over the holiday is to find a friend who’s interested in reading the same book. You can make goals that you both want to achieve and discuss plot lines or vocabulary issues with each other by SMS or e-mail. I’m currently doing that with my friend Laura. We’ve been doing this since we were classmates in Chinese at college.
Some quick recommenda ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tions: Harry Potter, start with the first book and go on from there; the Narnia series; anything by US writer Michael Crichton or British writer Agatha Christie; and if you like horror, US writer Stephen King is always unusual and fun. But really you should just find a topic or author that you’re interested in, and the rest will go from there. Happy reading!

请认真阅读下列短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空格1个单词。
Interviewing someone ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) for a job is not as easy as it looks. First, as the interviewer, you’re tasked with finding the person who will not only do the job well but also fit in well with the other employees.
You have to make ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an evaluation of abstract qualities that can’t be found on a résumé. Because you have to repeat the process for every potential employee, you end up asking question after question, applicant after applicant.
Still, interviewe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs need to be told something: “What is your biggest weakness ” is not a good question. It just isn’t.
Now, job seeke ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs have to understand that interviewers want to find some way to know what makes an applicant different from others. Asking questions that are seemingly impossible to answer is one way to see who can think creatively. Then what may be a proper way to respond to such a question
Honesty, with a twist(新手法)
“‘What are your ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )three strengths and three weaknesses ’ is a classic, but not too many people know how to answer this,” says Kenneth C. Wisnefski, founder and CEO of WebiMax, an online marketing company.
“As an interviewer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), we want to hear strengths that describe initiative(主动性), motivation and dedication. The best way to respond is to include these qualities into specific ‘personal statements.’”
“Similarly, weakne ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sses should be positioned as a strength that can benefit the employer.”
“I like to hear a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pplicants state an exaggerated strength, and put an interesting twist on it. An example of this is, ‘My initiative is so strong, that sometimes I take on too many projects at a time.’”
This answer leads ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )with a strength that employers want —initiative —and still acknowledges that you’re not perfect.
Although you migh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t consider this acknowledgement too honest, it works because it proves you’re being honest.
Honesty, with progress
When you con ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sider what your weaknesses are, think about how you have attempted to overcome them. No one is perfect, so pretending that you are a perfectionist will come across as insincere.
Debra Davenpo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rt, author of “Career Shuffle,” believes citing(引用) examples are the best approach.
“My preferred re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sponse for this question is to tell the truth without damaging the applicant’s image.” Davenport explains.
“A better respons ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e might be, ‘I’ve had some challenges with work-life balance in the past and I realize that a life out of balance isn’t good for me, my family or my employer. I’ve taken the time to learn better time and project management, and I’m also committed to my overall wellness.’”
The answer adds so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me dimension to the question, and proves you’ve thought beyond the answer. You’ve actually changed your behavior to address the situation, even if you haven’t completely overcome the weakness.
Put yourself in the interviewer’s shoes
However you decid ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e to answer, Debra Yergen, author of “Creating Job Security Resource Guide,” recommends job seekers imagine themselves sitting on the other side of the desk.
“If you were doing ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the hiring, what would you be looking for What would be your motivation for asking certain questions Who would you be trying to weed out If you can empathize (共鸣) with the interviewer, you can better understand what they want and need, and then frame your qualifications to meet their needs for the position you seek.”
Once you conside ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r what the goal of the question is and figure out what your honest answer is, you’ll be able to give the best possible answer to a tricky question.
Job Interviews
Tasks for a job interviewer ☆ Find the p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )erson bo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )th doing the job well and (1) ▲ along well with other employees. ☆ (2) ▲ abstract qualities of applicants by asking one question after another.

There are all s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orts of good sensible reasons to avoid getting angry. Not only does it make us feel bad, it also makes us do stupid things without noticing the risks and it can be self-destructive ( 毁坏性的). ___ 16____ But like all emotions, anger has its purposes, which can be used for good effects.
Anger is a motivating force.
In fact ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )anger itself is a kind of positive energy and a powerful motivating force. ___17 When we see something as beneficial, we want it more when we are angry. So, when used right, constructive anger can make us feel strong and powerful and help push us on to get what we want.
18
It may sou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd like a strange thing to say, but angry people have something in common with happy people. That's because both tend to expect favorable results. By comparison those experiencing more fear are more pessimistic (悲观的) about the future and expect further terrors.
Anger can benefit relationships.
Society tells ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) us anger is dangerous and we should hide it .The problem is that when we hide our anger, our partner doesn't know he's done something wrong. And so he keeps doing it. 19 The expression of anger, if reasonable and aimed at finding a solution, can actually benefit and strengthen relationships.
Anger provides self-understanding.
Anger can also ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) provide understanding into ourselves, if we allow it. Getting angry leads to a positive outcome. Anger help discover our own faults. If we can notice when we get angry and why, then we can learn what to do to improve our lives. 20
A. And that doesn't do our relationship any good.
B. Anger can tu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rn us on and thus push on towards our goals in the face of problems and barriers.
C. Anger reduces violence.
D. Angry people are more optimistic.
E. Most of us t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )reat our anger as though it's unreasonable, unshowable and unmentionable.
F. That's because it's ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a very strong social signal that a situation needs to be solved.
G. Anger can encourage self-change. 首发

Some recent surveys s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )how that the health conditions of many white collar employees and office workers are rather critical. Death cases among white collar employees and office workers are increasing year by year and these cases are generally believed to have been caused by overwork and spend little time taking rest or doing exercise.
If their off ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ices are within the distance of half an hour's walk, some office workers now choose to go to work on foot.

So I choose to walk to work.”As she said, if the office is not far from home, most women would like to go to work on foot. Walking is good for their health and can help them to keep_good_figures as well.
Apart from walking t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o office, one can also find time to do exercise when one is at work. The simple way is to abandon the lift. Mr.Yang who works in the Passenger Service Department at Beijing Airlines, is one of such men who frequently climb stairs to his office. “I only use the lift whenever I am with my colleagues or my boss. Otherwise, I would climb stairs instead of taking the lift.”
In addition, so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me office workers try to find time to go to gym at the end of a day. Ms. Sunny works in a law firm. She goes to the gym several times a week when she has the time.“I go to the gym every weekend. During the weekdays, I will also go there whenever I have the time.” Ms Sunny and her husband both have a gym membership card for a whole year. The cards cost them a lot of money.

For most of human his ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tory, the primary means of communication across long distances was not the computer, telephone or telegraph, but the letter. In the 18th and 19th centuries, although newspapers were common, letters continued to be the primary source of information on politics, social conditions, and even natural disasters. A series of innovations, including the invention of the lead pencil in the 18th century and the steady reduction of postal rates in the 19th century, affected not only the length and content of letters, but the frequency with which they were sent. But few developments changed written communication as much as the introduction of a simple product that created a national fashion at the turn of the 20th century: the postcard.
Postcards we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re first developed in the 1870s as promotional advertisements for hotels, resorts (度假胜地)，and other businesses. In 1906, the United States Congress passed legislation allowing messages to be written on one half of the back side of postcards, in effect encouraging people to substitute them for short letters. From that point on, the use of postcards rose steadily, from about 770 million that year to almost 1 billion three years later. Manufacturers sprang up to meet the demand. By 1909, the Illustrated Postcard Company alone was producing three million a day.
Postcards we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re ________ a means of communication. Like stamps, they became collector's items to be bought, sold, and traded. Many people used postcards to acknowledge the receipt(收据)of letters and to promise a quick response. They also became a means for travelers to update friends and family on how a trip was progressing. But postcards also had an important effect on how people corresponded. The limited space on these cards promoted a brief and direct method of writing.
1．What's the main idea of the passage (no more than 8 words)
_______________________________________________________
答案：A Concise History of Postcard/How postcard comes about
2．How postcards gaine ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d its development at the beginning (no more than 10 words)

[1]He skips cla ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sses and talks back to teachers but he's still smart and talented—this is the type 24 year old Jaki Tan played in the movie Mark of Youth(全城高考), and it has won him raging popularity among teenagers. The movie tells the story of four Senior 3 students in the days leading up to the College Entrance Examination. Tan starred as Qin Peng, who is mischievous but outstanding at music and writing.
[2]“Tan brings a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )live this type of student who seems to exist in every class, and he makes the character so lovely，” said his fan. Just like how his big screen character works harder on the basketball court than in the classroom, the 2010 Happy Boys fourth place winner was not a typical good student.

Throughout high school, he wrote folk songs inspired by his life experiences and performed them for students from around the world. In one song, Tan thanked his school for all the things he didn't like about it, such as required uniforms, rules against skipping classes and how teachers made him write letters to his family about his mistakes. “Growth comes with conflicts，” he once said in an interview with Hunan TV.
[4]“For his listen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers, Tan's lyrics and melodies always bring them back to their happy memories of hot summers and carefree youth，” Happy 8 commented. As a student at University of Toronto, Tan often performed his songs in bars or on busy streets. While many people might be too shy to perform in the street, Tan believes that experience helped build up his confidence. “Don't be afraid of losing face. It's always better to lose face while you are learning than to lose face for life by not improving yourself，” he told Sohu Entertainment, calling this his personal motto.

When it comes to th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e world of computers, green computing is becoming one of the most popular trends． But, what is exactly is green computing
The term “green c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )omputing” is one that is being used in many different markets and areas all over the world in today’s global technology． Yet, many computer users out there aren’t sure what it means． Green computing is actually pretty easy to explain and to do---it is basically learning to use computer resources more efficiently to help the environment as well as making energy savings． The main goal of a green computing program is to reduce the use of energy and materials that harm the environment． Green computing helps to promote the use of biodegradable products and recycle computer parts whenever possible．
Green computing star ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ted as early as 1992, when the EPA created Energy Star, which is a voluntary labeling program that promotes energy efficient computing equipment and technologies．
It was because of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )this program that many computer manufacturers launched sleep mode and millions of computer users around the world began to adopt this policy to help save energy when they were not using their computers． The term “green computing” began to be used around the same time as well, and began to become a goal that more companies strive to meet over the years． There are several government agencies that have continued to help strive for better standards for computers and companies to help promote green promoting． Energy Star was actually revised in October of 2006 to make the requirements stricter for computers，and also implemented a ranking system for products． Because of these new requirements, there are over 20 states that have now established a special recycling program for old computers and electronics to help with green computing．
Many of today’s I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )T systems are beginning to rely on both people and hardware to help push their computer systems toward a more green computing system to help both the company and others． This is a hard balance to achieve, as it has to satisfy users, management, and regulatory compliance（顺从）． Even the disposal of computer waste is all managed so that everyone in the circle is happy with the outcome． Many companies are learning the best ways that they call go greener when it comes to their computing and also help their business in the process． While many home computer users may not be quite as familiar with green computing as large firms, this term is starting to become more mainstream all around the world and the requirements for new, better computers to help both the companies and the end users of the equipment, as well as our environment, are becoming more and more urgent．

From the health ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) point of view we are living in a wonderful age. We are immunized from birth against many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once fatal illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and surgery. It is almost certain that one day medicines will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased largely. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the unbelievable slaughter (屠杀) of men, women and children on the roads. Man versus the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.
It has been rightly ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel（方向盘）, his car becomes the additional part of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They swear, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and completely selfish. All their hidden anger, disappointments and envies seem to be exposed by the act of driving.
The surprising th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing is that society only smiles so kindly on the motorist when seeing his behaviors talked about above. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost unsuitable to live because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is damaged by road networks; and the mass annual slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten.
It is high time a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. In regard to driving, the laws of some countries are dishonorably loose and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code which was universally accepted could only have a dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through inflexible annual tests for safety. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can destroy a person’s driving ability, so present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. The highest and lowest speed limits should be put on all roads, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may sound unacceptably harsh. But surely nothing should be considered to be too severe if it results in reducing the annual loss of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not for motor-cars.

The hit movie Nottin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g Hill begins with a famous scene. Hugh Grant bumps into Julia Roberts and pours orange juice all over her. After the bump, Grant repeatedly says: “ I am so sorry. I am so sorry.”
36 . If Roberts’character were from Britain then she would probably apologize repeatedly as well—even if the bump were not her fault. But this doesn’t happen in the film, as Roberts is from the US.
A report said that three-quarters of British people apologize when they bump into someone in the street — regardless of whether they are responsible or not. In fact, we Britons use “sorry” in many situations. For example, if we mishear someone, we say “Sorry ” The person we are talking to will also apologize by replying: “No, I am sorry! 37 .
Life is never as simple as “duibuqi” and “meiguanxi”.
38 . Traditionally, “sorry” was used to express deep regret, but a survey in 2007 showed that we use it to mean anything from “what” to “whatever”.
39 . Mark Tyrell, a psychology writer in the UK, thinks about our apologetic tendencies are rooted in the British class system. We say sorry because historically the new middle classes in Britain had to apologize for not being working class, but also for not really being upper class.
40 . For example, if you bump into someone they might get angry. To avoid this we instantly say “Sorry!”.True manners are about being considerate and the modern day hobby with apologizing show that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were. The word has lost some of its meaning. Do you see my point Sorry, it might just be a British thing.
A．Why are Britons so sorry
B．British often say sorry to each other.
C．How we use “sorry” has changed.
D．His action in this scene are very British.
E．This can go on f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or up to five minutes as we compete over who is the most sorry.
F．Another theory is that we apologize to avoid confrontation(冲突)
G．His actions in this scene are very British.

Tomatoes are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )generally easy to grow. Experts suggest you start seeds indoors if the ground is still cold. For best results with the least risk, they say, plant when the soil is warm, soon after the frost free date for your area.
Small plants may be pl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aced a third of a meter apart in rows. If you grow staked plants, set the sticks in the ground about half a meter apart. Some larger varieties of tomatoes may need about a meter between plants and at least a meter and a half between rows. The idea is to leave enough space for harvesting.
Work the soil to re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )move weeds(杂草). But do not work the soil too deeply or you could damage the tomato plants. Water the plants regularly during long dry periods. Give them plenty of water. Plants in containers may need water daily or even more than once a day. Besides, do give the tomato plants complete organic fertilizers(肥料)．
Some gardeners train ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tomato plants to grow on supporting materials. Whatever you choose, make sure the supports are tall enough. Most modern tomato plants grow about a meter tall. Others reach almost two meters.
Tomatoes started from ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )seed take forty five to ninety days till harvest. The average air temperature should be about 24℃. In that case, you can pick the tomatoes when they are firm and fully colored. But if the weather is very hot, pick the tomatoes every day or two. Let them soften and develop their full color indoors.
There was a time wh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en people thought tomatoes were poisonous. In fact, they are just the opposite. Tomatoes are good for you. But are they a fruit or a vegetable Technically, a tomato is a fruit—the fruit of the tomato plant. But some fruits, including tomatoes, may be called “vegetables” because they are used in tasty foods instead of sweet cooking.

Trash removal( ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )清除垃圾)is something every person needs to think about for their residence(住宅) because organizing a clean up event can make the community more beautiful and be good for the environment. This is a good opportunity to bring families together and get them outdoors and helping each other to beautify (美化)the community.
Organizing a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) trash removal event is easy if you know how to prepare for it. Get ready to improve the place where you live to make it cleaner for everyone! You need to choose a day for the trash removal event. Select a date that is about two to four months away. Planning as far in advance as possible is always smart. Choose a second date as a backup (候补)in the event of rain or other bad weather conditions.
Your best si ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tuation is to select an area in your community that is often used and tends to interest people on a regular basis. Parks are a good example of an area that might need a good clean up. Lakes, beaches and areas that are found along roads that are traveled frequently could get some help in the trash removal event. Just make sure you make plans to clean up an area that will not be dangerous to everyone involved.
It is strongly recomme ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nded that you ask for permission from the county, city or town before you start making serious plans to round up the garbage in an organized event. Doing so makes you responsible citizen of the community.
Once you receive pe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rmission to hold a trash removal event you can then move forward with your plans. Organize a committee to make the public know about the outdoor clean up and then ask for volunteers. For example, you can give out fliers(传单)or put them up in right areas of your community where the fliers are visible.

There are thousan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ds of coral reefs(珊瑚礁) in the world; Unfortunately, however, they are now in serious danger. More than one-third are in such bad shape that they could die within ten years. 16 Here are the three main causes discovered.
The first cause ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is pollution on land. The pollutants run with rainwater into rivers and streams, which carry the poisons into the ocean. 17 So they will be easily infected(感染) with diseases.
18 Higher ocean temperatures kill the important food source(来源) for the coral—the algae, the tiny greenish-gold water plants that live on coral. 19 This process has happened more and more frequently in recent years.
The last factor contri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )buting to the disappearance of coral reefs is people. People sometimes crash into reefs with their boats, breaking off large blocks of coral. 20 Moreover, some people even break coral off to collect for souvenirs since it is so colorful and pretty.
A. Global warming is another reason.
B. Many might not even last that long!
C. Divers who walk on reefs can also do serious damage.
D. Reefs provide a home for 25% of the fish in the ocean.
E. Chemicals from the poisons kill reefs or make them weak.
F. Steps must be take ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n now to stop over-fishing and pollution of the oceans.
G. When the alg ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ae die, the coral loses its color and it also dies in the end.

[1]Fishing is probably ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the world's most popular sport. People spend many dollars each year on items like boats and four wheel drive vehicles. In addition, they spend money on fishing equipment, bait, fuel and boat repairs. And you can see that fishing can be an expensive pastime. Fishing lovers believe that their hobby is worth it. Others say that fishing is spoiling the environment and that it is a cruel hobby.
[2]Supporters of fishi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng say that it is a nice hobby. Firstly, of the millions of people who fish for fun, most only catch enough fish to feed their families. They catch fish that are found in large numbers, so there is little danger to the species (种类)．
[3]Secondly, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )recreational fishermen contribute to the economy. They spend money on equipment and other items, and they also spend it indirectly by paying taxes on their equipment and fuel. Those who travel to fishing spots pay for accommodation (食宿) and airfares. This money keeps people in work and provides new jobs each year.
[4]Thirdly, fishing is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) relaxing and fun so it lessens stress. Instead of turning to drugs or alcohol, it is far better to go fishing. People who are relaxed are generally healthier and much nicer to be near—except for the smell of the bait!
[5]Those who ________ say that there are too many fish thoughtlessly taken from rivers, lakes, streams and oceans. This could lead to the dying out of some species. Modern cars and boats mean that people can fish in remote areas of the world, so no place is safe from greedy fishermen who take both males and females, leaving few fish to produce young.
[6]Those against fi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )shing also say that it is a blood sport, which means that an animal must die so that a human can have fun. Many of the fish caught for sport are not suitable for eating, so they are thrown away. Once hooked, fish have no chance of escape.

Africa is a v ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ery diverse land with many different tribes. One tradition that many of these groups share is painting or marking their bodies and faces in color. They do this for many reasons. Some marks are used to identify people as part of a group. 36 Let’s look at some different examples of body painting.
__37 Amon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g the Masai of East Africa, when men are old enough to marry and make decisions for their people, they participate in a special ceremony in which they paint their heads and faces red. This ceremony takes place every seven to fourteen years, so there is not an exact age for participating in it. The Samburu, also from East Africa, like to paint their faces and hair red because they think it looks attractive.
38 To show that he has killed a lion, a man will paint his body with a natural white material, making special marks to represent this accomplishment. The Masai men also use this white to show that they are no longer boys and are considered adults.
One quite unusual exam ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ple of face painting is done by the Wodaabe people of West Africa. Once a year, they have a beauty contest for men. 39 Then they add white and black circles and lines. Black paint is used near the eyes and on the lips to draw attention to the whiteness of their eyes and teeth, which the Wodaabe consider most beautiful. 40 .
As you travel, enjoy the beautiful and bright colors of Africa.
A. Red is the co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mmon color in body painting because it often represents health and long life.
B. Other marks are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )used for ceremonies such as weddings and during times of war.
C. The ceremony expresses hope for rain.
D. The Masai men ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) also have a unique way of showing that they are brave.

My name is Clara. I s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )till remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class. I'd finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye: NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover(火星探测器)．Before I even knew anything else about it，a single word flooded my 11 year old mind: Curiosity.
I couldn't want for t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he bell to ring so I could get started on my essay. That afternoon, I raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone's mind...”
Five months late ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r, my mom received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face.
On August 5,2012，at 1 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )0：31 p．m., the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front row seat in NASA.
Curiosity is such an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) important part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She'd tell me stories and point out the stars. Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, but the stars kept us together even when we were apart. They were always there, yet there was so much I didn't know about them. That's what I love so much about space.
People often ask me ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) why we go to faraway places like Mars. My answer is simple because we're curious. We human beings do not just hole_up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what's over the hill and beyond the horizon.
