At the present time, more and more people love travelling. It's a very good 16 of getting to know new people and cultures and acquiring(获得) experiences. It helps travellers 17 a lot. Travel can make our minds become 18 .
But travel does more than all that. It can also make us more creative. In recent years, some professors have been doing research on what many people have already learned from travel experiences. They believe that spending time abroad has the 19 to affect(影响) people's mind. For example, they found that the students who lived abroad for a longer period were better at 20 problems creatively than those who did not. If you stay in the same place, you can't experience new sights, new smells, new sounds and new cultures. All these can 21 your mind and make it more active. 22 , that doesn't mean the more places you've been, the more creative you'll become. Another group of professors have been doing 23 research. They found the people who often travelled from one place to another didn't have enough 24 to immerse(使……沉浸) themselves in a new place and a new culture. They weren't as creative as the people who spent the time 25 getting to know a place. You have to interact(相互影响) with the places you go to and then you can benefit(得益) from it.

Foods that are well known to you may not be familiar to people from different places around the world. Tourists and travelers often get to try some unfamiliar food. That is part of the fun of traveling. Here are four people's experiences with foreign food.
David King is a Chinese student in France. "I never had cheese or even milk before I came to France. Cows are seldom seen in my part of China. So there is no milk or milk products. I drank some milk when I first arrived in France. I hated it! I tried cheese, too, but I didn't like it. I love ice cream, though that's made from milk."
Birgit is from Sweden. She traveled to Australia on vocation. "I was in a restaurant that was special in fish. I heard some other people order flake, so I ordered some, too. It was delicious! Later, I learned that flakes is an Australian name for shark. Now, whenever I see a new food, I try it on purpose. You know why I remember how much I enjoyed flake."
Chandra is a dentist in Texas. She is from India. "I'm afraid to try new foods because maybe there is beef in them. I'm a Hindu(印度教信徒) and my religion(信仰) stops me from eating meat from the cow. That's why I can't eat hamburgers or noodles with meatballs."
Nathan is from the United States. He taught for a year in China. "My friend gave me some 100-year-old eggs to eat. I didn't like their appearance at all. The eggs were green inside, but my friends said the color was normal. Chinese people put something on fresh eggs. Then they put them in the earth for three months. So the eggs weren't really very old. Even so, I didn't want to touch them."

B
Zheng He was an amazing man. He was born in 1371. Eleven years later, he was caught by the army of a rich young man called Zhu Di and made to work for him. Over time the rich man saw that Zheng He was very clever and strong and they became close friends. In 1403 Zhu Di was made the King of China and he asked Zheng He to join his government.
The King wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power. He ordered many new ships to be built and made Zheng He their leader between 1405 and 1433. Zheng He led seven sea trips to different parts of the world. He certainly travelled to India, Africa and the Middle East. A few people think his ships have even reached South America and Australia.
Each trip lasted between two and four years and it is believed he sailed more than 50,000 kilometers during the years of his travels. Zheng He led a fleet with 28,000 men and over 300 ships, such as boats for food, water and even soldiers' horses.
On these trips he brought with him many Chinese goods like silk and medicine to give to foreign kings or to sell for local goods. He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and treasures, foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe.
It is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng He's travels. The Columbus of the east, Zheng He, died in 1433. After that, the new king, had these trips stopped and he burned almost all the books about Zheng He's travels, because he believed the trips were unlucky and too expensive. It is only in the last 50 years that historians have begun to carefully study the adventures of great Zheng He.
31. Why did Zhu Di want Zheng He to sail to many different countries

D. He was a great king.
33. Which of the following did Zheng He take to foreign countries from China
A. Gold. B. Treasures. C. Giraffes. D. Silk.
34. After Zheng He died, .
A. nobody remembered him
B. almost all the books about his travels were burned
C. the new king thought these trips were lucky
D. sea trips to other countries lasted 50 years

C
Making a good job choice is almost as good as choosing a good life. So, choosing a job is one of the most important decisions to make in life.
For my job, there are three important things that I will consider:
The first one—that I must work in an area I like—is most important to me. Someone once said if you find a job that you enjoy, then you won't have to work another day. I would like to work in an area where I can be more creative. I would like to be the most valuable member there. All this is possible only if I like what I do.
The second one is that the area of my work must lead me to solve some new and hard problems. I would like to stay in the same area for a long time. In order for this to happen, the work must provide enough problems. More than just working to live, I enjoy making a difference and trying my best for the whole progress. I would also like to be well remunerated for my hard work, so I can lead a comfortable life with this hard-won money. Then I can provide the best for my family.
The third important thing is that I would like to work in an area that would help other people. The work in my mind is in fields such as the army, training or management. In such areas, I can help to develop the abilities of others and bring out their best. It would be a most satisfying job to help young people to become the best that they can be. When I become old, I would like to look back with a great sense of satisfaction that thousands of people have become better persons through my work.
I accept the idea that no one should make a choice of a job suddenly or quickly. He should decide what he wants to be in the long run. Then, he should decide how he works towards it. He should study the proper courses, read the books and speak to knowledgeable persons in that field before making a job choice. A good choice will most probably lead to a better life.
36. According to the passage, a good job choice probably makes people .
A. solve fewer problems B. choose a good life
C. be good family members D. provide hard things
37. The writer considers an enjoyable job most important because .
A. he has to bring out his best
B. it can make him more creative
C. he will have to work another day
D. it is possible for him to live better
38. The underlined word "remunerated" in the passage means " ".
A. trained B. praised C. accepted D. paid
39. The writer wants to tell us that everyone should .
A. become a knowledgeable person
B. join the army to become a better person
C. make preparations to find a satisfying job
D. help young people to choose an interesting job
40. What is the best title for the passage
A. My Job Choice B. My Favorite Job
C. My Comfortable Life D. My Sense of Satisfaction

How to Be a Good Learner
As a good learner, we should have good habits and ways in learning. We need to get ready for our lessons before class and always listen carefully in class. After class, we must go over the lessons and finish our homework on time. It's good to study in groups and help each other. As a student, working hard is important, but don't forget to do sports and keep healthy. We should do more reading in our free time. If we have any problems, we'd better ask others for help. I hope all these will be helpful to you.
